Home Sweet Home...

I been back for 4days already... adjusting to the hot & sticky Spore...

I feel different this trip back home... I can't describe but probably i am just no longer the same... I am happy to be back home but not as happy as i thought i would be. Its always nice to be catching up with friends and hear how's their lives been and where God is leading them into...

I enjoyed most so far is to go for cell. I guess i just miss this kind of fellowship and seeing new faces. I believe this trip, God is also molding me and using me to influence others & bless others too.

There are some things in my heart that i desire to do & i think is what the Lord is placing on my heart... Some people i will intentionally meet up with them... some things are on my heart & i trust the Lord will speak to me to them on the very day i meet them...

Many people said that they can see that i have a great radiance and seem even happier. I guess is the excitment of knowing that i am in the right place at the right time. On the other hand is also the excitment for my wedding preparations... thou i dunno really know where to start hahahha

I do feel alittle selfish on my part for leaving my mom all alone in Spore and also my dad asked me why can't i work in Spore and yet still doing what i am doing now... its hard to explain it in chinese and what more he is a pre-believer. Pray alongside with me for my dad to understand and come to know the Lord. I will have to say it is difficult to share the gospel to your love ones and what more i dun really have a relationship with him(some of u will know what i mean). I am struggling in this area...

Oh tue-thur i will be in Johor for workshop & Yesh!!! I will be roomates with Aunty Pat hahaahah(oops)

Time for catch up with Pat. I know Pat for like 10years & our relationship grew from me being a member of a cell and she is my cgl to now, a level of intimacy that we ask each other about our walk with God & calling all these... I really appreciate her very much and i Thank God for her. Times really fly so fast... from Jars of Clay and now both of us are in full time. Its really nice & beautiful to see how the Lord mold us individually and bring us crosspaths & producing a beautiful relationship... oh man... though i am still in Spore, i know i am going to miss her very much after this trip...

me again but just another country for a time being... glo

Watz after J.C Birth?

The last sat of 2007, last service of the year, i had the privilege to preach for the 1st time. What's after J.C birth? that's my sermon title. I shared on 2 verses.

John 1:14” The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory and the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.”

Luke2:52 that “ Jesus grew in wisdom and stature , and in favor with God and men.”

We celebrate every year on the 25th Dec- Xmas, birth of Christ. And we see from John 1:14 that the Word who is in the begining, who is also with God in the begining, became Flesh - Man. The verse doen't stop that... it continues on "... made His dwelling among us..." His purpose of becoming Man, is to Dwell Among Man. From the dwelling among man, we get to see His Glory who is Full of Grace & Truth!

J.C didn't popped out of Mary's womb as a full grown man. He is like any of us, a baby and grew. This certainly proofs He is 100% Man. From Luke 2:52, we see that Christ grew Spiritually too. J.C didn't just grew physically, He grew spiritually too. We do not see the childhood of J.C but we sure know while His childhood period is missing in the bible, we know He was growing-up physically and spiritually too. J.C spent 30yrs growing before re-appearing when John the baptise was baptising.

J.C took 30yrs and continued growing in His last 3yrs of ministry. J.C being 100% God & 100% has definitely displayed His full life on earth- growing Spiritually, what more we as men, shouldn't we be growing too?

God doesn't expect us to change or grow immediately or over night.... We see tt J.C took years to change... we should have that attitude of we are the clay, He is the Potter, shaping, molding us each year.

Challenge: What's after J.C birth? CHange! Growth!

Are we going to just let this coming new year to pass us with no change? Let's not let the borth of J.C & His death invain... The next time we celebrate Xmas, we know is also a celebration of our spiritual growth through His birth & death.

From this sermon prep, i have learnt so much from it. i wrote this here to share with u what's on the Father's Heart. And especially for this brand new year - 2008.

Happy New Year & Blessed New Year!

together we grow in Him...
