Sovereign hands
Nailed to a humble cross
Scars You bear
Speak of Your redeeming love
No wonder I call You Saviour
No wonder I'm singing
God of all the heavens
Now and till forever
High above the universe
God of our redemption
God of my surrender
The glory is Yours
Sovereign God
Laying down a holy life
Heaven's Son
Willing to be crucified
Holy
Holy
Holy Lord
Open hands
Given to a sovereign cause
All I have
God will be forever Yours
Today Sunday service was very special. In fact, every Sunday service is very special to me because it is a day of celebration for The Lord! Thank God for the blessing, I was one of the support singers during service praise and worship session! I know I was not as good as the experienced support singers, but I tried my best to keep up and I knew I was not merely exercising lips and bluttered meaningless words, but the songs that I sang, I sang unto The Lord, I wanted to bring joy to My Lord.
I missed Word for Life class today due to praise and worship practise. It is in fact the last Word for Life class taught by Bro Ricky. He's going off to Penang with his family this Thurs. My heart was stirred by the sermon he preached today. Getting it right this Christmas! This is the first Christmas that I celebrate as a child of God.. I do not want to celebrate like the world celebrates it.. commercialised with expensive branded gifts, total focus on ownselves; I want to get it right this Christmas! I want to celebrate it with a thanks giving heart, a grateful heart for the forgiving of my sins by my Lord.. John 3:16 For the Lord so loved the world that He gave His one and only son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. AMEN! Christmas is not just another holiday of the year, another day of celebration with friends and family, another reason to spend and exchange gifts, but a season to remember what The Lord has done on the cross, how He had set us free! I have just complained about being jobless yesterday but the sermon today had indeed stirred me. God is asking me to trust Him with all my heart even during down times.
Prayer: Lord, You know my heart, You see right through it. You know how much I long to know You more.. Lord, remove all the doubts I have and worries that hinder me from trusting You completely. Through thin and thick, it is You that I will hold on to. Let this season of Christmas be a time that wakes up Your children who have fallen asleep, remind us of what You have done on the cross that by Your grace, we are able to be who we are today to offer You all our praises. Lord, help me to grow in You..
A sense of emptiness fills me. I am leading an aimless life. Aimless in a sense of having nothing to look forward to, no plan in exact that I can head to. I NEED TO DO SOMETHING!!! I MUST GO AND FIND A JOB ASAP! It doesn't feel right to be jobless indeed.
How tired it is to work, but it is more tiring when there's nothing to do and the only thing u could possibly do is to stare at the ceiling, asking yourself, "Why am I so useless?", and indulge yourself in self pity.
Prayer: Lord, I do not want to stay on like this, I am not satisfied with the situation I am in right now when I know I am blessed with giftings from You and I am not able to use them to the fullest. I pray for your provision of a part time job, Father in Heaven, that I am able to continue to support myself financially. Lord, teach me to be more obedient to You and abide in You. Take away all my troubles and worries. In Jesus' name I commit my prayer. AMEN.
Ahhh!!! I cant help but worry worry worry and worry!!! I do not how would it be like tomorrow.. I am going to start working tomorrow. The previous time I worked during PIKOM fair was with another friend but now he's gone to KK. Aiyo.. worry worry... Will I do well? Can I mix with the rest? AhhhhHHH..........................................................
Lord, place Your peace in my heart. I surrender my burden and worries at the foot of Your cross, Lord.. take away all that troubles my heart.. I commit my job and everything else to You, Lord, I will trust in You faithfully. Amen.
Your calling, my purpose
Today must be a very fine day, I finally have the inspiration to blog about Malaysia National Convention that I attended!
This is the first time u attend church convention, what do u think of it? Learned A LOT!
What have u learned? ........ non stop sharing (by me)........
All the typical questions I answered for these few days. LOL. I was inspired by Ps Jeff's teachings, he's one of the youth pastors in Hope Singapore. He's such a fluent and interesting speaker who can easily capture audiences' attention and deliver his message to the listeners precisely and clearly. I tried my best to pay full attention to the preachers and absorb as much as I can so that I can learn to the fullest what was taught. Every sermon that is copied is essential because u will definitely need them some time in the future, be it as reference when u're free or material to prepare for teaching! I pray that God will prepare me from now to be a teacher who is capable to share the gospel and teach His word to all the non-believers out there.

BE A HOT COAL!
Place a hot coal besides a cold one and heat will tranfer from the hot to the cold coal, causing the cold coal to be heated up. This is the theory shared by Crosby. The coals are the believers, hot coals are the believers who have the burning passion for Christ in their hearts whilst cold coals represent believers who have slowly come to the stage where nothing seems to excite them as everything seems to have become a routine. Cold coals are also those who have the signs of backsliding due to the shift of focus from the ETERNITY(treasure in heaven) to the TEMPORARY(material on earth). Every believer will come to a time when we have lost the passion or we have lost focus and persue worldly rewards blindly, hot coals play important roles in heating up the cold ones! So let us all be hot coals that bring heat to the cold coal, LETS HEAT THEM UP!!!
**Cold-coal friends, I have been praying for u..
