wOohOo!!

i'm tired, but my Spirit isn't~!! draw NEAR to God FIRST, and He would draw near to me=D

great message, though i only managed to listen one out of three sermons~ blessed already~ i felt really challenged to fear God and to obey His voice instantly~ Rev John Bevere said something that really made me VERY excited.

God reveals secerts to His friends.

NOT everyone is God's friends~ thats the scary part. Abraham is God's friend because Abraham obeyed and had revenance to Him. Moses saw God because he depended on God.

we're given a CHOICE to be a friend of God, but why many people reject it? instantly, i asked myself and i answered myself too~ getting a little looney.

well, basically i felt that its the LACK of intimacy and the LACK of hunger in our hearts to want to know Him. not only that, sin seperates us from God and unless we are born-again, we are unable to have this relationship with God!

when you are very close with someone, you tend to think of him/her most of the time and you would share most of your secerts with him. same goes for God!!

God's thinking of us as its written in the bible that the amount of times He thinks of us is like the amount of sand found in the world!! God WANTS to share with us His secerts, but WE have to DRAW NEAR TO HIM FIRST!

Draw near to God and He would draw near to you!!!!!!! HALLELUJAH!!!!!

ain't that like, COOL!? the creator of EVERYTHING wants to SHARE secerts with you!!

so HOW do we draw near to God?

firstly, its a CHOICE. do you want to know Him? are you willing to stay on the narrow path after receiving Him?

then, comes the fear of the Lord! its not being scared of Him! if we're scared of God, how do we become friends with Him!? fear of the Lord is giving reverance and obeying His instructions! be it weird, strange, stupid and even hurting! but as long as its from God, OBEY INSTANTLY!!

our goliaths maybe challenging us, but remember how david defeated the goliath? he went STRAIGHT to the goliath and with faith, he defeated the goliath with his sling-shot (wdever) and stone!

we're BIGGER then our goliaths!!

i'm sure that there would be temptations, goliaths and problems, but thru these experiences, God is able to use us and our capacity expands, our faith explodes when these problems are brought down.

back to drawing near to God.

when we come before God, we must have NOTHING to hide from Him! our hearts are pure and righteous and when His word is spoken, we tremble because we obey His commands. BUT, you can be righteous, yet not a friend of God!

Lot is a bibical example! Lot is a righteous man, but he didn't know the secerts of God until 2 angels came down and warned lot that God would be destroying the city he's staying at!

so, not only we have to be rightous, we have to take that first step to want to know God's heart~ to read His word and to obey every single instruction He gives.

and that's just the beginning of something beautiful in our journey in life, with God=)

thats just something that i wanna share=)

well, greatgreat day today~ kimberly accompanied me again to church even though her reporting time today is 9.30am and that means that she would be 2 hours early!!! now i owe her 2 dinner treats~ loLz=P

thank God for open doors, once again, to serve Him and His people~ thank God that i've been given a chance to lead in security, even though its just a small role. as we grow in the Lord, the more responsibilities are given! from glory to glory!

it was great to be called for a short IC meeting, even though i was very tired, because from that meeting, i learnt what we're expected and what we can expect in the future~ though its based on weekly tasks, i'm believing God for more doors for me to serve Him!

speaking of which, i wouldn't be able to have a break for at least 2 months? big days are coming, Rev Ulk Ekman, Conference and weekly services and not forgetting Rev Benny Hinn service at the indoor stadium! its great to serve God but we can't forget about fellowship with our cg=)

during the debrief, as 44 was sharing, i was thinking in my mind if i should take a cab home. i started to plan that i would head to the coffeeshop, get a drink, check my balance and if its okie, i'll take a cab back~

God knows my heart, and mind, naturally=P

right after my debrief, i spotted kimberly and apparently she and her sister, samantha, were waiting for me! well, i was clueless until kimberly asked if my duty has ended and she's offering me a ride back~

oh yah. kim's sister, samantha, looks like kimberly from kids central!! =P loads of kimberlys eh? =X yeah. and samantha is the almost the total opposite of kim~ kim has small eyes, sam has BIG eyes~ kim's fair, sam's tanned. but, both sisters are pretty~ loLz=P

right~ so i hitched a ride back and picked her mom up along the way too~ i guess her mom is kinda shocked to see me as she kept looking at me when the cab stopped beside her~ lolz=P hope i didn't give a bad impression~ the first impression is always important!

even though she isn't my in laws or whatever. loLz=P

sister sharon said this, as a joke. i'm like a fallen star~ so blessed by God in whatever things that i do~ lolz=P

thats so true!! but not the fallen star part. i'm a rising star thats shining for Jesus and His Kingdom!! i'm a rising star that seeks no glory, but only the glory of God!! i'm a rising star that wants to be called God's friend! =D

but most of all, i'm a rising star all because of God. if not for Him, i wouldn't be where i am today=) and of coz i want more, to grow from glory to glory! =)
