Fear not.
Last weekend's service, Rev. Dr. Ulf Ekman shared about the spirit of Fear.
I believed many of us were raised up in an environment of fear. Why do I say so? When we were young, our parents instilled fear of man in us. Example ("don't cry later police man catch", "sell you to karang-guni", "you do (action), I beat you").
Many times in the bible, the meaning of this verse comes up, [
Isiaiah 41:10], "do NOT fear, for the Lord is with you". Our God is a God of comfort, of assurance, of peace, of hope, of joy, of creativity. Therefore, let all those that are facing difficulties, come to Him. In [
Luke 12:31], it tells us to 1st seek the Kingdom of God, and all that we need, all that we lack, would be given to us.
Rev. Ulf Ekman said that when the spirit of fear is in you, spirit of God (of faith) cannot work in you. So if you allow the spirit of God to come in and work things out, the spirit of fear shall be casted away. (God's right hand of Righteousness will cover you.)
So I believe that, when you are facing troubles, facing difficult circumstances, fear not, seek the Lord and all that you need to help you win the race, would be given to you.
Fear not the man, but the Lord.
Fear not about entrance to university, but the entrance to the Kingdom.
Fear not about the job interview, but God's interview.
Fear not about the rejection from your peers, but the external rejection from the Kingdom.

hello! so it've been a long time since i last blog here. kinda lost the username and pw.
anyway, believe that the spiritual warfare just begun. many members are like falling sick, or some even family issues. just sense that somehow the devil knows that N20 will rise up to another level, especially when the connect grps just started, so somehow he is like doing things to stop us. but believe all of us won't just give in to it right? lets all jiayou together! maybe we can all start sharing abt our testimony, anything and everything here! think it's gonna be kinda cool and we can know each other better too. so i shall start the ball rolling.
well, so previously, think some of u know abt it, my family's kinda messed up. and everything's kinda bad. each day i'll just get so drain out by all the issues around me. i hate somebody and eventually learn how to forgive and truly love somebody (not bgr). i dont know what i'm thinking, but just heard a voice which says "no matter what, just keep believing and forgiving." i know it is God's voice, dont ask me how i know? i just know. each day, i'll just keep praying inside my heart, every hour, every minute, "God, pls,pls help my family get moving on. pls dont let us hurt each other, pls heal that hurt, that injury of mine and my family members. pls change my dad, change his temper, change his attitude, pls make him a more faithful father and husband. pls let my family be more loving." each day, i'll just keep praying. seriously, each time when i pray, i do feel like crying. the process is really painful. to learn to fully forgive somebody, it takes courage too. inorder to forgive, you'll have to face yr hurt too. many times, i just feel like giving up, and i'll go "God, it's too hard, it's too painful to forgive. i'm tired", but somehow, those who know me well, i'll fight to the end. haha.
so yup, one day God just convince me, He said "remember how Jesus forgives his disciple who denied Him 3 times? disciple is somebody close to Him too." from than on, i learn to let go and forgive. but i still kept praying for my family, and i can see changes occuring now. my dad will be home earlier now. my mum and dad's more loving than before. relationships within my family improved. family's more loving now. we even went out to shop together for new year flowers,etc. happy family, i can say.
so, if you're facing certain issues in yr family,relationship,friendship,etc., dont give up, keep praying. you will see the difference. there will be times when yr morale's low. when you feel drain out. but dont run away, run to Him instead. this is not just for N20, but also those who are reading this. jiayou! =)

The Healer
Hey guys, seems like the warfare has begun.
Lets hold Rickson's parents in our prayers. I pray that their injuries be it big or small will be completely healed, and that there would be no after effects after that. I pray that there would be insurance claim for the vehicle and also the hospital fees.
Amen.
Don't worry Ricky, for He is the God who heals.

Prayer = Power.
Hello dear fellow bros and sis in Christ!
Woah long time since I last post something eh? Like what Lexmi said, our blog certainly needs some liveliness.
I believe each and every member should play a part to keep this blog alive right? (kudos to Lexmi for posting, haha) And especially now that our church is starting the Connect groups. So I think it would be nice if we could just make this blog a better place, so that when new friends visit here, they can really see things happening!
And also, I pray that every member would really be commited to pray weekly, like what Gil said, we needa bind and loose those H.A.R.V.E.S.T. over our friends and lets believe that for the next few months, we can really see tremendous growth in our cg, in our personal prayer life and also breakthrough in our own area of needs!
So, fellow servants, lets start serving and be a prayer warrior for the LORD today!!
