It means that it's time for God to take over and have some fun.

This entire entry is taken from Peiling, a note that she wrote in facebook, which I thought is seriously good stuff.
The Parable of The Eagle
Eagles fly alone at high altitude and not with sparrows or with other small birds. No other bird can go to the height of the eagle. When Moses went to commune with God on the mountain, he left the crowd at the foothills. Stay away from sparrows and ravens. Eagles fly with eagles. Eagles have strong vision. They have the ability to focus on something up to five kilometers away. When an eagle sights his prey, he narrows his focus on it and sets out to get it. No matter the obstacle, the eagle will not move his focus from the prey until he grabs it. Have a vision and remain focused no matter what the obstacle and you will succeed.
Eagles do not eat dead things. They feed only on fresh prey. Vultures eat dead animals, but eagles will not. Steer clear of outdated and old information. Always do your research well.
Eagles love a storm. When clouds gather, the eagles get excited. The eagle uses the storm's winds to lift it higher. Once it finds the wing of the storm, the eagle uses the raging storm to lift him above the clouds. This gives the eagle an opportunity to glide and rest its wings. In the meantime all the other birds hide in the leaves and branches of the trees. We can use the storms of life to rise to greater heights. Achievers relish challenges and use them profitably.
The Eagle tests before it trusts. When a female eagle meets a male and they want to mate, she flies down to earth with the male pursuing her and she picks a twig. She flies back into the air with the male pursuing her. Once she has reached a height high enough for her, she lets the twig fall to the ground and watches it as it falls. The male chases after the twig. The faster it falls, the faster he chases it. He has to catch it before it falls to the ground. He then brings it back to the female eagle.
The female eagle grabs the twig and flies to a higher altitude and then drops the twig for the male to chase. This goes on for hours, with the height increasing until the female eagle is assured that the male eagle has mastered the art of catching the twig which shows commitment. Then and only then, will she allow him to mate with her! Whether in private life or in business, one should test commitment of people intended for partnership.
When ready to lay eggs, the female and male eagle identify a place very high on a cliff where no predators can reach. The male flies to earth and picks thorns and lays them on the crevice of the cliff, then flies to earth again to collect twigs which he lays in the intended nest. He flies back to earth and picks thorns laying them on top of the twigs. He flies back to earth and picks soft grass to cover the thorns. When this first layering is complete the male eagle runs back to earth and picks more thorns, lays
them on the nest; runs back to get grass it on top of the thorns, then plucks his feathers to complete the nest. The thorns on the outside of the nest protect it from possible intruders.
Both male and female eagles participate in raising the eagle family. She lays the eggs and protects them; he builds the nest and hunts. During the time of training the young ones to fly, the mother eagle throws the eaglets out of the nest. Because they are scared, they jump into the nest again.
Next, she throws them out and then takes off the soft layers of the nest, leaving the thorns bare. When the scared eaglets again jump into the nest, they are pricked by thorns. Shrieking and bleeding they jump out again this time wondering why the mother and father who love them so much are torturing them. Next, mother eagle pushes them off the cliff into the air.
As they shriek in fear, father eagle flies out and catches them up on his back before they fall and brings them back to the cliff. This goes on for sometime until they start flapping their wings. They get excited at this newfound knowledge that they can fly.
The preparation of the nest teaches us to prepare for changes;
The preparation for the family teaches us that active participation of both partners leads to success;
The being pricked by the thorns tells us that sometimes being too comfortable where we are may result into our not experiencing life, not progressing and not learning at all. The thorns of life come to teach us
that we need to grow, get out of the nest and move on. We may not know it but the seemingly comfortable and safe haven may have thorns.
The people who love us do not let us languish in sloth but push us hard to grow and prosper. Even in their seemingly bad actions they have good intentions for us.
When an Eagle grows old, his feathers become weak and cannot take him as fast as he should. When he feels weak and about to die, he retires to a place far away in the rocks. While there, he plucks out every feather on his body until he is completely bare. He stays in this hiding place until he has grown new feathers, then he can come out. We occasionally need to shed off old habits and items that burden us without adding to our lives .

Finally I'm able to blog again. Laptop has been cranky recently, refusing to log into blogger or load some script for me to blog.
About a month has past and I've been coping well with work. Apparently my bosses are very happy with my performance and they're starting to trust me with more responsibilities. Thank God for that! If not for Him and His favor, I would have been fired a million times already.
I'm back in Security Ministry! Was quite shocked to receive the news from Desmond. Didn't expect it coming because I thought I wouldn't be going back to Security for eternity. But still, Thank God for the chance once again to serve in Security and to serve Pastors and his guests in Elites. Really feel that my return is very different and somewhat feels that there's many things to impact.
Euphoria training has been picking up as well. Shoulder hurts everytime after training and it would last through the week. At least it's getting better now and I'm able to do tosses without any problems. Thank God. Quite excited about the performance, even though our status now is quite terrible. Messy and off-timings. But I believe everyone will put their act together and piece a great performance for God, CHC and the rest of Asia =)
I really do need a new laptop.
Seriously, this is just random rumblings.
I love food and I want to eat breakfast now.

Starting work tomorrow!!
Got a job from my ex-boss, reBorne Pte Ltd. The company that deals with Xando and other healthcare products.
Was quite surprised that my boss still remembers me and wants me to work for him again. Went for numeral interviews last week and he showed me around the office and their new concept stores. The company is moving in a new direction and their focus is on transforming lives with their products.
Quite interesting. Would be doing something that I've totally no experience in. But by the grace of God, they're willing to give me the chance to learn.
Was planning my budget and there's really nothing left after essential expenses are deducted. Gosh! To think that my salary is quite high for a poly graduate. Hoping and praying that they'll increase my salary a little more! =)
God is still very good to me. Loads of favor upon my life, kinda obvious.
Besides reBorne, I went for other interviews such as UOB Bank and Tuas Power. Received great favor from the employers and attractive perks.
God REALLY answers prayers.
I was quite specific about my job requirements and all the offers I had were close, if not similar, to the requirements that I prayed for. I was also brought to remembrance that there was a period of time during SOT, I was praying that I'll be able to work in reBorne as well.
After speaking to my boss last Monday, he mentioned that he thought of me during the week of my graduation. And that's ALSO the week that I prayed for a job in his company!! Amazing thing is that I happened to meet him during service and he gave me his name card, wanting me to contact him.
But i forgot to contact him=/ 1 week later, he managed to get my email and messaged me. Lol. Thank God!
This really shows me something. That God is never late! He's always on-time!
Some people really struggle with the fact that God is a good Father. They hide in fear because they feel that they're not worthy of Him. But the VERY fact that He's our Father, it means that we can approach Him for help!
Which father would turn away his children?
Some people stereotype God as an angry God whom holds a hammer and lightning rod in His hands. Ready to strike punishment onto anyone.
If that's the God I serve, I'm pretty sure I'll be dead by now.
Anyway! God is a good God and we all should not be afraid of approaching Him!!
We've been made righteous by Jesus' blood. We confess our sins and repent from them, get planted in the house of God, discipled by His leaders and have a relationship with Him!
There will be hardships, sufferings and pain. BUT this is the amazing part of the Christian walk!! Because you'll never walk alone again! God is with you and He guides you through valleys and storms!
Are you ready to trust Him? to walk on waters?

SOT'08 has officially ended.
It has been a really exciting 5 months in CHBTC.
This 5 months is nothing short of an adventure with Jesus. The endless assignments, bible reading and examinations is enough for sleepless nights. But there's still cellgroups to attend, mission trips to go for, conferences and early morning prayer meetings!
But it was never a drag for me to attend classes every morning, praising and worshiping God or finishing my assignments.
In SOT, I learned to be understanding. I started becoming meek and not get easily offended by others. In SOT, my faith in God grew and I experienced Him in so many different ways!
He's never late, always on time. His promise for me came to past! That everything will be settled, that I do not have to worry about finances.
Now that SOT has ended, a new chapter begins.
What lies ahead maybe hazy, but now I've the faith to trust God and His ways, that He has a great plan and destiny for me. Being equipped with the Word, I can now be an effective minister of Jesus.
Having much "head knowledge" about Jesus Christ, now is the time to experience it!

Classes with Pastor Kong is always so inspiring.
Pastor finished up the Cultural Mandate Series today and he opened up the time for some Question & Answer.
Several interesting questions were asked and I remember very vividly a question asked by a female student, with regards to stepping out in faith into the entertainment world.
Pastor's reply to her question really inspired me a lot.
"We chose to walk in faith." - Ps Kong
Pastor was sharing with us the experience he and Sun had to go through and the decision he had to make. They could have cruised through life when church was 10,000 in strength. But Pastor felt that this isn't what he wants to be.
So Sun crossed over into the entertainment scene and Pastor became a voluntary, to go off salary.
To me, that's really walking in faith. Making the decision to go "salary-free" and Sun crossing over is definitely something that requires tons of faith! It's really something that most people wouldn't even think of!
As Pastor was sharing his experiences, it just made me feel that Pastor such a normal person. Someone that struggles with weaknesses as well. But the difference is not because he's the Senior Pastor of a mega-church.
But he's a man after God's heart.
He's willing to lay aside all the comfort, riches and glory to pursue God's kingdom. It really takes a lot of security and faith to make the decisions he has made.
I feel really blessed to have Pastor Kong as my Senior Pastor!
All things are possible with Jesus!

Who am I?
Have you ever pondered upon that question?
Who are you, to somebody else.
To someone, I am the nonchalant, can't be bothered with you guy.
To another, I am the nice and caring friend.
To another, I am the wallpaper, never noticed until I start peeling.
To another, I am the guy that smiles a lot.
To another, I am the laid back one.
To another, I am the one that you talk to when you need a listening ear.
To another, I am the one you can rely on.
To another, I am the one that passes you by.
The list just goes on..
But to God,
I am His child.
I am anointed.
I am special.
I am called by Him.
I am protected by Him.
I am uniquely created by Him.
I am Joel Kuek and God loves me.
If not for God loving me who I am, would I be able to freely express my love for people around me? No.
God gave me a Role Model and His name is Jesus Christ. God says, "Follow His footsteps and He'll guide you in every single step you take, every decision that you make."
"I've called you and this call is irrevocable. Hold onto it."

Hello World!
Everything has been quite good. I do not know where to start, or share. But God's good.
In SOT, we are in the process of going through the Five Fold Ministries. Really amazing stuff. From the beginning, Pastor Ming mentioned that after the course, we'll realize that we're actually NOT who we think we are. Lol.
Totally true. I found myself not being very Pastoral like, though it's my desire to be a Pastor. Haha! Got to work very hard in that area! Feel that I'm a little more inclined towards a Prophet and Teacher ministry. Heh! I'll Call down fire and TWO female bears will MAUL you if you offend me!
Not finding any inspiration to blog now. Heh. Perhaps things that has been happening are rather personal and I've no desire to publicly air them. Bleh.
Well. We'll see =)

Squeaky clean!
Weekday classes with Pastor Mike is simply amazing. Learnt so many things from him, not just deliverance, but ministering and releasing the anointing to others.
The MOST amazing revelation was probably releasing the anointing to others. It's quite easy to pray for someone, when you receive a word of knowledge, but how do you impart that anointing, presence, love into his heart?
If we do not know how to release it, that prayer will just sound good!! Must release the anointing, then people receive something in their Spirits and things will then begin to change!!
Releasing the anointing can be as easy as, as much as I received, I give! Just freely receive and give!!
So the easiest way to minister is in the area of the joy of the Lord. Receive the joy of the Lord into your Spirit and release it to the people around you! And if they're open to receive it, you'll find people laughing crazily around you. Haha!
God's amazing right?! It's not by my abilities, or the things that I do, but it's by His Spirit that all these things are happening!
Praying for people during the kairos moment is so powerful. Words of knowledge and wisdom begins to fill your Spirit. Like a double edged sword, the word pierce through every harden heart and brings forth healing into their lives!! An a touch from heaven, the anointing is released into their lives.
WOW!
God is an amazing God!
Now I feel so good, it's easy for me to accept people. But I need to draw strength from the Holy Spirit because it's Him who gave me that power to forgive!
Perhaps this is brokenness. That you depend entirely on God, not on your own abilities and strength.

The last time i blogged, unknown.
So many things had happened for the past few weeks, not a lot to say. But God is very good to me =)
Pastor Mike Connell is in town! Whole week of lessons with him, learning about deliverance and how it should be done. Definitely, spring cleaning as well.
Deliverance can and should be done by any believer. But of cos one must be walking in holiness and righteousness before even attempting on someone else.
Loads of exciting experiences!! Manifestations, a student hiding a knife in his pocket, unclean spirits that "runs" away or falls asleep whenever you pray for them.
I've no idea what to share here. There's so many things that I want to say, but... haha! I can't =P
Oh well. God is good.

Updates!
Cultural Mandate with Pastor Kong.
Simply amazing classes we've with Pastor Kong. I don't know how to describe the feeling when we go through the class. It's exciting, revelational and challenging.
Its exciting because you really see how God is moving in the marketplace, and how He uses people to impact the lives of so many people in their area of influence.
How great servants of God are raised up and reaping all the blessings they've sown.
It's revelational! The cultural mandate existed ever since Genesis 1:28! When God said, be fruitful and multiply, subdue the earth! That's the cultural mandate! WOW! ALL things are created for His glory. That includes businesses, the arts, media and loads more.
It's challenging! Because your faith will be tested. There'll be persecution from non-Christians and fellow Christians.
But we're not here to please man, but to please God.
-
Pastor also shared about the right age to get married. He mentioned that he would very much prefer members to get married between the age of 21 and 25. No money? All the more better! Cos they'll learn to save money once they've married each other.
And i've one year left to get a gf and get married.

Pastor also shared about the right age to get married. He mentioned that he would very much prefer members to get married between the age of 21 and 25. No money? All the more better! Cos they'll learn to save money once they've married each other.
And i've one year left to get a gf and get married.

Back from BIGBANG Camp!!
Totally amazing experience.
Darryl said something that challenged me. She mentioned that this camp is not just about new friends. But its also about that touch from God that everyone should desire for, that even though we maybe tired, we still seek after the face of God, for Him to strength us.
It's so easy to neglect God during the camp. You'll be busy doing things till the wee hours of the night and by the time you're free, you're so dead tired. But I was super encouraged by the campers! As I walked around the chalet site at 3am, I'll see groups of people gathered together worshipping, or praying together! 3am!! These groups of people aren't really the young adults, but they were the KIDS! the secondary school students!!
Super amazed.
Something amazing happened too. During morning devotion, Darryl prayed for me and it was amazing. She moved in the gifts of the Holy Spirit and ministered to me. Extremely blessed by her prayer and really believe that my breakthrough is about to come!! Praise God!!
Ultimately, my team had five new friends. Out of the five, four responded to the altarcall!! Praise the Lord!! WOOHOO!! The four who responded were the four girls who came in harden, but left soften by the love of God!! Praise GOD!!
If not for the love of God flowing endlessly in the team, I think all these salvations wouldn't be possible. And if not for my wonderful team members, this camp wouldn't be a life-changing camp for not just the new friends, but members as well!
Really believe that this love of God will continue to flow in our lives and we'll see a revival breaking forth in the zone!!
Bao-wer!!
