The answeR is in His Word siR! (rhymes ;))
Awesome!!
Joyce Meyer LIVE wahaha!!
Wow.. 2 days of Joyce Meyer was very very impactful and fruitful as well!
An anointed preacher indeed as she's able to articulate her understanding of the doctrines very well making it easy to grasp and digest for the congregation. Her testimony was a super heart-opener too.
One of the main highlights of all I think was during the first service where she placed a rocking chair on the platform next to herself. Very intriguing huh.. and that was her intention - to get the message she's about to share (with the help of the chair) into the back of our heads in a more visual manner.
So here goes the message:
Christianity is not what we can do for God so we can get His blessings, but by the grace of God that we
ARE blessed, that we
ARE free to receive His blessings.
God loves us not because of anything else but His desire to, and none of us can do anything to change it.
God has called us His children the very day we receive His salvation, and He already
has intended a great great plan for each one of us.
But there are alot of Christians still yet to know who they really are in Christ. And it's because of this that they will never manifest what God intends them to be (their call & purpose in life).
Instead of believing we are made righteous, prosperous in life, and accepted by God through Christ as said by God Himself, people tend to try to be righteous, seek mercy, etc
Here you are sitting on the rocking chair.. in the arms of God knowing who you really are in His eyes.. resting peacefully in His promises and presence.. whoaaahhh...shiok (and this is the kinda life Jesus died to give us)
But alot of christian, who are children of God, who are already in the chair, are still trying hard to the extend of struggling to get IN the chair. That's because instead of believing what God says about them.. they choose to believe the lies of the devil instead. I admit I find this hard to cope and was like this until this sermon hit me so hard.
So the message was made clear,
Stop getting in the chair when you're already sitting on it! haha
and all it takes for you to successfully live a lifestyle of peace, contentment and hapiness is just to BELIEVE.
(faith comes by hearing, and hearing the Word of God.)It's when we believe through the Word of God that we can truly live a victorious life.
Wa! I have to meditate on this sermon very often leh I think for me
I go read my Bible le!! BB!! =D

CG meeting - Attaining Godliness Through Dsicipline
FUNNY COMMERCIAL ON REP[TILES] *Gillian don't click ar*Today's cg was great.. long time since we had sermon outline for the word haah
Anyway today's sermon was about 'Attaining Godliness Through Discipline'
And at the end of the sermon we did this little exercise.
It's about writing out some spiritual goals for ourselves to achieve till the end of this year.
And to help us with this exercise.. there're questions to guide, questions like:
- What do you want to see in your walk with God?
- Which family members & friends do you want to see saved?
- What are the thigns you want to set your affection on?
(Matt 6:21 - "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.")
- What are the things you want to adopt as a lifestyle and put into action
(Discipline requires a corresponding regular response and action on our part)
And after we finished our last sentence.. we're told to check if our answers(goals) would lead us to Godliness, if they're God-centered.
Wa I think this really helps big time man, it really is time we all come out with an action plan..
NOW is the time man!
So er this is just the summary of what we've learnt today(17/08/07)
And so it went on to fellowshiping and I dont know how we started talking about lizards('house lizards' generally) and Gillian was literally "manisfesting" lol. She was so afraid of lizards even to extend of freaking out upon the mentioning of the word-'lizard' wahaha!!
And oh yea! That explains the video on top (you can take off that question mark above you head now).. but you guys(N20) would never believe how I found it!!!!
It actually came to me!! yes!! I ask you I ask you where got such coincidence one??
Today I asked a colleague to add me to her friendster list and when I got home after CG and viewed her profile.. THERE IT WAS!!
Never seen any house lizard videos ever before.. it just seems like the spirit wants to speak to Gillian sth about her queer fear(hey a rythme!) of lizards whaahaha
Don't worry Gillian.. I believe in no time.. when we have that wrestling match between you and the lizard.. we're gonna see it drop it's tail and run like it never dropped it's tail and ran before =D

Believe
hey N20! guess this is the 3rd post by me. lol.
anyway, yup, just some sharing. i got back some of my results, and it's really bad, really really bad. of course, like any other people, i felt sad, and my first reaction was "God, why? why? i felt Your presence with me when i was doing my papers, everything seem to flow well at that time, but yet me results.....9points, isit even possible? it just seem so far away now. what am i suppose to do?" i was really sad and kinda stressed + depressed by it, and all of a sudden, i felt a warm comfort. and the next thing i know, God brought me back to that time during 1 of our cg meeting, when we hafta speak/prophesy to each other's life, it was the delieverence service week. and my partner that day, tiff. she spoke a word to me, and the word was "believe" and during it, God told me to believe, believe and it will happen, be it in my studies or other things in my life. at that time, i thought that it was nothing, cuz i already believe in Him long ago for everything. and now, i know that God was actually preparing me for this day, especially abt my o's. well, serious, i'm like frm an above average sch i can say, and i'm frm normal acad. the chance of getting 9points is really low, very low, as it's a seriously big jump frm n's to o's. not many people can do it. maybe some of u may ask, "but why 9points?" seriously, i dont know too. that's just the result i wanna get. it just shot me. maybe it's God who's preparing me again, that's why i wanna get 9points. yup. God is never too early or too late, He is always on time =)
so people, dont give up in anything you do. believe and it will happen. lets go all the way for it! be it for cg growth, or things that we do. lets go all the way and believe that it will happen and believe that we can do it! jiayou! =)

What is the point? (longest post so far =P)
Great service today!! Wow I love Dr A R Bernard man!
He makes me feel smarter ahaha no la no la.. he’s a great teacher that’s why I like him =D
At the closing of today’s service Dr Bernard said: “When you decide to engage culture with the spiritual and moral standards of God, you will face persecutions”
The Bible assures that too.
And yes we have gone and are going through persecutions.. and it’s very real to me because I’ve faced it personally too.
I’m talking about the article on Sun..
I have not seen the article but anyway God spoke to me through this issue.
Some friends have been pretty critical about Sun’s “way” of engaging culture.
Christians, non-Christians have been talking and debating about the should-s and shouldn’t-s, right-s and wrong-s of her methods.
I was led into this conversation with a Christian friend a couple days back. And I thank the Holy Spirit for His guidance. It was a short distance home from the mrt station when we started talking about Sun. So we decided to sit down and continued the conversation which lasted for another hour plus. So to summarise.. during the conversation he threw me some verses that stumbled my viewpoint. I tried not to rush into “preaching the cultural mandate sermon” to him lol because he seems to be pretty good at his theology haha. (and I was literally waiting for the Spirit to help me get
my point across in the flow), and while doing so, trying to counter attack lol.
So it went on till the Holy Spirit showed up and interceded. And I said to my friend, “wait wait.. we’re missing
the point here…”
You know with all these debates going on sometimes it could get really critical and judgmental which leads to frustrations and at the end of the day, unfruitfulness. At the end of the day we find ourselves just trying to prove to each other how much we know about the theories of the Bible. And we miss out the One who’s the source of it.
When such controversy arises it’s about people picking out the negative things of issues to talk about and it starts usually with something negative.
I wasn’t fully comfortable with Sun’s appearance in her videos but who am I to be part of this debate of right and wrong?
By the presence my friend was convicted. What would he profit if he knows so much more about theology than me but miss out the presence of God?
And for my side: what would I profit if I were to use tactful words and trying to be patient and holy to get my message across and still be debating and missing the presence –
the point?
Instead of looking at the negative side of things and talking about them why not be thankful for the good things and talk about them?
Well why should we?
Because when we talk about negative things it doesn’t glorify God at all, he not only cares less about negative things.. He stays away from it. He basically has nothing to do with it.
I don’t even wanna care to ponder if He’s okay about Sun, if He’s there, if He’ll answer my prayers, , all the if-s.
I thank God for Sun because she’s really doing a lot of good works out there and impacting big time in the marketplace. I thank God that she has touched and helped so many people in sharing her testimony. I also thank God for her to be a role model for us. A person of great faith, doing the will of God despite facing challenges. She’s strong man.. and is an example of a very successful person. And I'm starting to appreciate more of her now.
One thing I truly believe is that God wants us to appreciate the things in life which he creates
And how do you appreciate things?
By seeing what’s good and talk about them.
Now I understand why Phil Pringle say whenever he chooses to have faith he feels happy/joyful and that makes him wanna step out more in faith.. because when we talk about the good things as we take up faith we are welcoming the presence and we become positive in our thinking which leads to fruitfulness in the spirit.
Being all negative and complaining doesn’t do us
any bit of good at all.. they only produces unfruitfulness (holds you back).
So when you’re are trying so hard to get to
the point next time.. ask yourself again and again if you have gotten it already =)
What is
the point?

East Coast Outing
From the title you can see that the result from the votes is East Coast outing. We started late as it is really not easy to go there. Maybe that explains why for 2 years since the last cg outing (e-race), I never step into East Coast. Haha. Didn't do much as planned (like cycling, fly kite and bowling) but we just enjoy each other's company with a mini "Da-pao" picnic and discussing about the September Sentosa outing and year-end chalet. Thank you N20 for making the outing happen. I believe is the people in the outing having the right attitude that is more important than what we actually did there. No complaining, no sour face, but all tried to keep the spirits up. Really proud to have you all as a part of N20. Looking forward to a fantastic time in Sentosa.
Finally more sisters in the outing just now. Prayer works. :oD. Above are the photos.
Junyong, good job by encouraging others to post. That's the way. Keep it up! The rest - please start posting. I see some good posts in your personal blog, do "transfer" them over. :opLabels: Gillian

Outing yeah Outing wooO!~
Hey everyone!
We have so many bloggers in N20 yet no one is blogging here and it seems so dead. 6 days with no updates since the last post and we just started this blog last month! Come on come on, I believe everyday of your life is not BLANK with God, surely something interesting is going on.
Speaking about interesting stuffs, here's one, the anticipated N20 cg outing is here again. I suppose Gillian is still making her choice through our votes on various places like East coast park and Vivocity.
Personally I voted east coast park because I love that place ( the greenery and fresh air and of course, get to blade =x) however, it's quite hard to access there. The best way would be to meet up at Parkway Parade and then WALK over by the underpass to ECP. At ECP, (you all know how BIG the park is) without other modes of transportation like bicycle or roller blades, the only option is to walk around.
So now, we'll just have to see how things goes and I'm fine with anywhere =). *for your info, Parkway Parade have KBOX =x*

Guess the name of this little cutie:

SUN, we are proud of you!
I guess most of us have received the SMS from Gillian, telling us that the MV for Sun's "China Wine" is out now. The link in the message does not work for me therefore I've decided to just post the videos right here for your benefit, here goes:
Sun Ho's China Wine MV.
Sun Ho's Mr.Bill + China Wine. (Sg)
Sun Ho, the international pop star.
Sun Ho is really shining out there in the international media industry for Christ. Therefore I urge everyone to show our utmost support and encouragement for Sun to continuing Shining in Jesus mighty name and also giving all the glory and praise to our Father in heaven. Amen.
Hallelujah!
