BE THANKFUL :D

let the videos do the talking.
in your face, satan.

God Spoke.

Matthew 5:4-10:
God blesses those who mourn,
for they will be comforted.
God blesses those who are humble,
for they will inherit the whole earth.
God blesses those who hunger and thirst for justice,
for they will be satisfied.
God blesses those who are merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.
God blesses those whose hearts are pure,
for they will see God.
God blesses those who work for peace,
for they will be called the children of God.
God blesses those who are persecuted for doing right,
for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs.

Matthew 5:13-16:
"You are the salt of the earth. But what good is salt if it has lost its flavor? Can you make it salty again? It will be thrown out and trampled underfoot as worthless.

"You are the light of the world - like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.

Christmas Bash is TOMORROW !!!
so EXCITED. people, if you've not decided yet to go or not. you don't know what you're missing out if u miss this !

Christmas Like Never Before.

Before i was a Christian, to me Christmas was just another commercial holiday. At Christmas time, i'll be expecting my parents, relatives, and friends to buy me presents. I never ever thought of giving back. I'll spend my x'mas day out town, enjoying the lightings and foam snow. Spreading the Joy and celebrating Christmas. Looking at others in joy and happiness, celebrating, i myself, felt this joy and celebrated along. But, do these people really know the true meaning of Christmas? do they even know how it originated? do they know its purpose? i didn't know myself.

at the very end of the day, we're just celebrating lightings, decorations, and the vainity in each of our hearts, yearning for a present or you would rather, things in your wishlist. do people understand what " Thanksgiving " all about ?

BUT

This year's Christmas is never going to be the same as before. Why? because i celebrate it with a purpose, with a knowledge of its orignation. To me Christmas has a WHOLE new meaning. It is the day that the WHOLE of mankind should rejoice. Why? because on this very day, God sent his one and only son, Jesus, to earth ! to die for US, for our sins and GIVE us NEW LIFE. it is the day that marks the very begining of our salvation. I celebrate it because of a Thankful heart to God that he saved me. That he gave me new life, that he gave a new opportunity and purpose in life.

I still remember last year's Christmas. It was just 15 days into my probation. I spent Christmas night at home. while people are celebrating it out town. while people are singing God's praises in Church together with all their friends and family. i was at home. in agony, wondering why life isn't fair. For i didn't know the bright side to Christmas, and the meaning of Christmas.

It isn't just about enjoying good food, spending time with family and friends, celebrating in town. IT IS ABOUT GIVING THANKS TO GOD :) its about celebrating Jesus' birthday ! its about celebrating God faithfulness, grace and mercy on mankind. For he so loved us , the he sent his one and only son, Jesus to die for us ! and whomever that believes in him, SHALL NOT PERISH BUT HAVE ETERNAL LIFE !

and now, i live each day as though it is Christmas Day, for each day i live, i thank God for saving me. For giving me another chance. For forgiving me. For blessing me. Praise him name for each breath you take ! each step you take ! for it is because of him that now we stand ! Christmas for me, is never going to be the same again.

BUT

look at what satan has done? he knows that he has already lost the battle, because Christ Jesus already paid our ransom note in full. But he wants to steal our Joy. he wants to blind us. How? he distracts us with all the beautiful decorations, all the presents and materialism, all the money, all the commercialism, all the alcohol, all the drugs, all the clubs, all the fun and celebration in the midst of crowds. In the process, we forget what x'mas is really about. we shift our focus away from Jesus. How sad is this?

Just want to tell people out there. Jesus is calling out to you, in the midst of the cheering and celebration. But because we're sinners, because we're in the crowds, because our focus is not on him, we don't hear his calling upon us. If you're not a Christian, why not take the very first step out? begin to focus and listen to what God wants to tell you. I believe, he has a great plan and purpose for each and every one of us. Trust me :) he'll change you life inside out, upside down. experience his supernatural powers, miracles, because if you think that miracles dont happen in our world today, you're wrong.

Contradictions of this world.

Case Study #1 : Siddhartha Gautama
Story : A Prince who lived in luxury, but was depressed with what he saw in the outside of the palace. He sought to overcome old age, illness, and death by living the life of an ascetic.

( Asceticism describes a life characterized by abstinence from worldly pleasures. Those who practice ascetic lifestyles often perceive their practices as virtuous and pursue them to achieve greater spirituality. Many ascetics believe the action of purifying the body helps to purify the soul, and thus obtain a greater connection with the Divine or find inner peace. This may take the form of self-mortification, rituals or renunciations of pleasure. However, ascetics maintain that self-imposed constraints bring them greater freedom in various areas of their lives, such as increased clarity of thought and the ability to resist potentially destructive temptations.)

He abandoned a HUGE inheritance. Surpassed his teachers. However, he found no answer to his questions regarding freedom from sufferings. Leaving behind his caring teachers, he and a small group of close companions set out to take their austerities even further. Gautama tried to find enlightenment through complete deprivation of worldly goods, including food, and became a complete ascetic. Later attained Nirvana.

The Four Noble Truths: that suffering is an inherent part of existence; that the origin of suffering is ignorance and the main symptoms of that ignorance are attachment and craving; that attachment and craving can be ceased; and that following the Noble Eightfold Path will lead to the cessation of attachment and craving and therefore suffering.

The Noble Eightfold Path: right understanding, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration.

MY QUESTION : Does Buddhism Look more like a WAY OF LIVING, or a religion? Did this man who attained Nirvana say this : " i am the one true God, worship me and nobody else " . Or did this man who was called Siddhartha Gautama say this : " i am the way, the truth and the life." Ask YOURSELF.

OR

Did his teachings mean something else altogether? Isn't it just a guideline? Isn't it just a report on how he attained " immortality " or what he calls " Nirvana ". He teaches you to follow the paths and truths. But did he call onto you to worship him? Did he call onto you to make idols of him and bow down, offering joss sticks Instead, didn't he just call you to follow the way he has set?
Case Study #2 :

The Four Noble Truths: that suffering is an inherent part of existence; that the origin of suffering is ignorance and the main symptoms of that ignorance are attachment and craving; that attachment and craving can be ceased; and that following the Noble Eightfold Path will lead to the cessation of attachment and craving and therefore suffering.

The Noble Eightfold Path: right understanding, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration.

So, the basis for his way of life is to rid oneself of attachment and cravings. To avoid suffering, one must follow the 8 Noble Paths. And LOOK, we all have eyes dont we? otherwise you wouldn't be looking at this post.

But lets assess what MODERN MONKS are doing :
- smoking ?
- driving around in BMW's ?
- talking about business ?
- running charity shows ?
- trying to steal the NDP limelight ?
- getting publicity to get more donations ?
- carrying a hanphone ?
- using a laptop ?

so, this greatly contradicts to my understanding of what buddhism is. WOW. they're richer than me nowadays ! maybe doing charity shows aint to bad at all, benevolence. BUT, driving around in BMWs ? oh so methods changed? we've gotta be MORE INVOLVED in worldly activities? we've gotta keep the world going round? and so much for : " cessation of attachment and craving " . so Gautama's key to success was to rid himself of worldly desires? rid of cravings? and meditate? so why aren't the monks striving to do that, instead, make money? charity shows? isn't all this a distraction?

mmm, Buddhism is so confusing. no wonder, u dont see the headlines going like this : " Son of XXX millionaire abandons family fortune to seek nirvana " or " Son of XXX president runs away from home to find THE WAY " or " Man who almost starved to death gains IMMORTALITY ".

we dont see that dont we? what we see is : " Reverend XXX does SUPER dangerous stunt to raise funds " or " XXX Buddhist Association raises $1,000,000 for the disabled ". Looking familiar?

THE FACTS ARE HERE, BELIEVE IT OR NOT. YOU DECIDE.
sources : www.wikipedia.com

Buddha said : " I am not the way, i am only someone who has found the way " .
Jesus said : " I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one goes to the father except through me "

Salvation is here before you, whether you want it or not. Its your decision.
Wanna know more about Christ, ask.

2nd thoughts.

actually. ive learned something. initially intended to delete the previous posts, but guessed not. learned to even maintain the unity of one body of Christ. we've got a common enemy, satan. he wants to steal our victory, our joy, our salvation, our eternity. BUT are we going to just let him take it? no. instead we want to claim back whats ours, and rightfully God's.

leaders are here to correct and guide us. if not, why did God even will for them to be your leader? he's got a plan. and from what ive learnt from missions, i know God always has a plan. whether you like it or not. you may have your very own expectations and outcomes. but whether its according to God's plan, is another matter altogether. your level of trust from another dont begin with 100/100. you earn it. BUT what ive learnt is that your trust for God can be 100/100 from the very begining, WHY? because its a 100% full proof, safe investment.

read the verses i posted previously. Didn't the victory of kings and leaders come from God? and the reason was that they TRUSTED HIM even when the tide was low. what i have to do myself now is to follow whever God leads me, not where satan is leading me away to. i'll trust in God.

why anger or burst in a rage just because somebody tries to correct you? calm down. take in whatever is beneficial. CHANGE. thank God that the somebody corrected you ... or you would've fallen deep into satan's trap.

one last thing, KEEP THE FAITH.
indeed, i believe that God gave this to pastor with a very valid purpose and reason.
its not even 2007. and im seeing needs and signs to keep this faith i have in God. why? i've realised how much ive slackened after missions and fallen back. well. now im picking myself up. this faith ive aquired, ive testified, ive grown for God will not just stay here or drop. my vision and ambition is to be closer to Christ each day. depending on him for my all. my all.

NO-MORE(S) :
- self glory
- selfish thoughts and acts
- disobedience
- sliding back
- back to square one

MORE(S) :
- unity
- obedience
- trust
- accountability
- FAITH

lastly, bringing back the spirit of EVANGELISM. ive not been doing it for days and i feel odd. 150,000 go to hell each day without even knowing Christ ! oh no ! we've got a part to play ! something to be responsible for ! our generation. WHY? we're chosen. simple. :D

must i repeat myself?

- i dont need any other forms of attention or love other than that of God's
- i understand that the time now is not right
- stop being paranoid and suspicious

LASTLY :
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE TRUST YOU GAVE. i looked up to the wrong person.
i gave my word all for nothing. BUT SO? ive got God. must i seek human approval? nope, i dont need.

I PRAY FOR THIS :
- cell group to grow ( im wondering why we have people who go on and off, where does the problem lie? ).
- cell group to expand and multiply ( im wondering why we're growing in numbers, but not in faith ) .
- God to raise more in cell leaders .
- commitment and unity among cell members.
- God to reveal his plan for our cell ( leadership , membership , discipleship )
- JUSTIFIED AMOUNT OF TRUST GIVEN :D

Numbers 20:12:
But the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, "Because you did not trust me enough to demonstrate my holiness to the people of Israel, you will not lead them into the land I am giving them!"

Psalm 13:5:
But I trust in your unfailing love.
I will rejoice because you have rescued me.

Psalm 41:9:
Even my best friend, the one I trusted completely,
the one who shared my food, has turned against me.

Psalm 56:11:
I trust in God, so why should I be afraid?
What can mere mortals do to me?

Proverbs 16:20:
Those who listen to instruction will prosper;
those who trust the Lord will be joyful.


Isaiah 49:4:
I replied, "But my work seems so useless!
I have spent my strength for nothing and to no purpose.
Yet I leave it all in the Lord's hand;
I will trust God for my reward.”

well, i learnt that even when nobody whom you trust is reliable. there is always somebody whom you can trust. God. when even your closest kin turns their backs and points their fingers at you. Trust in God. even when people say you cant make it, when they say you'll fail. trust in God, and you'll be blessed.

very disappointed with doubts and distrust.

people whom helped me gain trust from others dont trust me themselves now?
what an irony and joke. im tired of dishonoured words and promises.

Question :
did Jesus make appointments with his disciples and not turn up? not once, not twice, not even thrice....uncountabilities. do he dishonour his words? hadn't he taught us to be accountable?

people, please tell me. i'd like to know.

dont one body of Christ function as one? dont we need one another to progress?
Romans 12:4-5 - Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.

how will a son love his dad when his dad dont even believe a word that he says? will the son even look up to his dad's example? how can a son be punctual for school when his dad is not even punctual for work without any valid reason? or maybe because he has to work till late at night? is it reason enough to break a SET timing? a son wont correct his dad. but is it ok to caution the problem to him?

this gives me a hint of how examplary behavior works....
dont point at me ? cause when you did, you're already pointing back at yourself.
im willing to learn. are you willing to teach proper methods and examples? well, i wont blame circumstances, i'd might as well blame myself for not doing my part? what about yours? did you? :) have a nice day.

cant wait for YI camp .

TRUST . TRUST . TRUST . TRUST

TARGETS FOR THIS WEEK
- clear all my holiday homework.
- find time to meet up with mates to do Geography AMA
- perfect the dance
- find my retro outfit
- approval for Youth Impact camp

all in one week :D though it seems inpossible, BUT guess what?
" What is impossible for man, IS POSSIBLE WITH GOD " :)

lastly, a group shot with Pastor Tamaloon and his wife at Khon Kaen AOG...

IM FINALLY BACK !

people, i tell you. i've wished that i could stay longer ! and i didn't want to come back ! how great it is to just put everything down and dedicate your whole life to serve God and his people, or to just spread his word out to the nations !

so, heres a summary of the 10 impacting days in thailand :)

BACKGROUND :
- team of 9 people
- all first timers except leader

okie it wasn't easy for me to go on this trip either....
had to seek approval, things were shaky.

KHON KAEN :
- our first ministry at the school wasn't really powerful. there were LOTS LOTS LOTS of distraction. basically the kids didn't focus. and also we didn't know that we need to pray ! haha i know it sounds dumb that we forgot to use this most powerful weapon. took this as a lesson.

- first night rally : again LOTS of distractions. at the very moment of altar call. people fell from bicycle. people pass away. basically the situation was very chaotic and alot of people were distracted. BUT our God came to the rescue =)

when pastor begin to call onto people for healing, people started to step out. and we began to lay hands and pray for people. and INDEED, many were healed. and received Christ. my team and pastor Ong together went to the house of a boy whom we healed. His grandmother had kidney problems, has osteoperosis
and cant walk without aid. AFTER praying, she regained walking ability ! and the pain was gone. she began to smile and tears rolled down her cheeks, that warmed my heart! greatly. God is AWESOME.

from that very day, we learnt very valuable lessons and picked up the momentum for battle. taking initiatives, and to pray at all times.

Refugee CAMP :

BACKGROUND :
- consists of laos Mhong , and thai Mhong tribe people
- at war
- need of a saviour
- need of a place that gives them sense of belonging

when we were Praise and Worshiping on the bus, as i peered out the windows. i began to realise that they really need God. and really want to reach out and touch their lives. Tears rolled.

when we were giving out blankets and food, there was a great multitude !
BUT as i became panicky and when the slightest bit of fear came in, i didn't forget to pray, and God brought to my memory of the verse ade shared in the morning.

2 Chronicles 20:15
He said, “Listen, all you people of Judah and Jerusalem! Listen, King Jehoshaphat! This is what the Lord says: Do not be afraid! Don’t be discouraged by this mighty army, for the battle is not yours, but God’s.

Chronicles 20:17:
But you will not even need to fight. Take your positions; then stand still and watch the Lord’s victory. He is with you, O people of Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid or discouraged. Go out against them tomorrow, for the Lord is with you!”

Chronicles 20:20:
Early the next morning the army of Judah went out into the wilderness of Tekoa. On the way Jehoshaphat stopped and said, “Listen to me, all you people of Judah and Jerusalem! Believe in the Lord your God, and you will be able to stand firm. Believe in his prophets, and you will succeed.”

yes, she prayed to God and this was what God showed her and she shared. INDEED, God brought in the multitude. BUT as he said :" Do not be afraid! Don’t be discouraged by this mighty army, for the battle is not yours, but God’s. " and yes, the battle is not ours BUT God's. all we have to do is to stand firm, take our positions, stand still and watch God's victory ! :D indeed and indeed it came true. and in the midst, God even sent someone to our aid : the thai military. and wherever the people became aggresive, they would take control.

night rally was very powerful ! Thousands came, almost all received Christ. many was healed. and indeed, God answers and provides, the people found their saviour : God. and they found the kingdom of whom they belonged to : God's.

MUCH MORE TO BE SHARED !
this is only part of it. will be sharing more on the next post. :D

lots of stories and amazing testimonies to tell !

*-kenric :) . 9:33pm . 24 November 2006

the outcome is near....

in a few hours, tomorrow, i'll probably know whether my mission trip to thailand will be approved or not....
and whatever the outcome may be, i'll gladly accept it. for it must've been God's plan and will for me not to go this year....for he knows. i may not even be spiritually ready, he knows im weak, therefore he wants me to be even more prepared for the next.

However, i did not felt so previously. the thought that i might not be able to go for missions affected me badly. even when ade told me that there may not be any space left, i began to worry. for i was quite certain that once the approval is in, i'll be going. however, the thought that even if i had the approval, i wouldn't be able to go made things worse.

i wanted to go for missions badly, i want to experience God's works and miracles in thailand first hand. and see it with my own eyes, feel it with my own heart.

i even began to let these feelings and thoughts to affect me. i even began to question God's plan for me. and had this feeling of bitterness. at this, i was already joining hands with satan ! but i didn't realise this. i was slowly giving in to his lies, even begining to obey his words.

i tried to do quiet time, but i was just so hard. i talked to ade about it. which i felt thankful that i did. and we managed to salvage the situation.she brought me to my senses. even telling me that even though i may not be able to go to the frontline, i'll still have a part here in Singapore by even raising funds, and even praying for them. we prayed, it worked and before i did my quiet time i prayed to God to even show me what he wants to teach me and tell me from that quiet time...

and God answered ! and this was what i got....

Luke 1:34-37:
Mary asked the angel, "But how can this happen? I am a virgin."
The angel replied, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the baby to be born will be holy, and he will be called the Son of God. What's more, your relative Elizabeth has become pregnant in her old age! People used to say she was barren, but she's now in her sixth month. For nothing is impossible with God."

from this, i realised. God's word never fails. and nothing is ever impossible for God. even Mary, as a vigin, she could conceive. even elizabeth, which was barren, could conceive. and all these were made possible thru God ! i realised that even if there was no space left, if God wills for me to go, he'll provide a way ! ultimately, the decision lies on God.

also...

Luke 3:15-18:
Everyone was expecting the Messiah to come soon, and they were eager to know whether John might be the Messiah. John answered their questions by saying, "I baptize you with water; but someone is coming soon who is greater than I am - so much greater that I'm not even worthy to be his slave and untie the straps of his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire. He is ready to separate the chaff from the wheat with his winnowing fork. Then he will clean up the threshing area, gathering the wheat into his barn but burning the chaff with never-ending fire." John used many such warnings as he announced the Good News to the people.

from this, i realised something. John even warned of the impending judgement. that those who refuse to be used by God will be discarded because they have no value in furthering God's work. BUT those who repent and believe. however, hold great value in God's eyes because they are the begining of a new life of productive service for him ! it has even reminded me to not be the chaff, but instead,be the wheat ! cause i know this new life i lead was bought at a cost, Christ's blood. that i should not even receive God's grace in vain, and even be useful for his works !

now, i finally understood that God's plan is perfect. his timing is always right. we'll just have to follow him obediently.

any part not understood, feel free to ask me.

People, im certain that at any point of your life or your Christian walk, you would've faced problems and situations of despair or even feeling hopeless and disappointed. That even when we've already prayed the hardest we could, put in the best of our efforts,yet, the results dont really tally. which make you even feel that God never hears us? or that he dont care about us?

well, i admit. when Pastor announced that we've raised around 14k so far, ( target is 40k ) i had that feeling. i had this sudden urge to burst, but i managed to hold back somehow... but i was eventually awakened, God always waits till the last minute for his miracles to happen. if we even lose hope at this VERY last and crucial moment, all will be gone. and the person that disappoints at the very last moment would be God, cause we backed out and did not trust in him that he'll provide ! when at that very moment he was already lifting his fingers to open the floodgates of heaven !

yes, and i didn't really feel like blogging to day, BUT i dont KNOW WHY! these few days, i always get last minute INSPIRATIONS. i'd just obey my ideas and get to WORK ! ( blog ) but ! this song is the reason why....

SUPERBLY NICE !!! LOOK AT THE LYRICS AND SING ALONG ! and REJOICE ! FOR GOD NEVER SLEEPS !!! ( turn off the blog song and click play, it may take awhile to load , but its worth it ! )

He Never Sleeps - Don Moen

When you've prayed every prayer that you know how to pray.
Just remember the Lord will hear and the answer is on it's way.

Our God is able.
He is mighty.
He is faithful.

And He never sleeps, He never slumbers.
He never tires of hearing our prayer.
When we are weak He becomes stronger.
So rest in His love and cast all of your cares on Him.

Do you feel that the Lord has forgotten your need.
Just remember that God is always working in ways you cannot see.

Our God is able.
He is mighty.
He is faithful.

i hope this encouraged you people :D as it done for me ! lets not feel despair ! instead, we'll have faith and trust that God will provide ! continue to pray ! even harder ! lets PUSH !

ask yourself : what does worship mean to you?

worship is not something we watch, its actually something we DO ! it needs actions.takes responsibility and participation.

Fact 1 : Everybody worships something. not compulsory to be God. even if we dont worship God, we'll still worship another of his creation.

- it is a response to what we value most !
- the driving force for our everything

How we know we're worshipping something
- we'll be following something on a trail, and at the end of every trail, we'll find a throne. and whatever that lies there, is what we worship. its of the highest importance to us.

Fact 2 : Our Worship is more about what we DO than what we SAY
- worshipping God is not just a saturday / sunday thing. it must be what we are doing, everytime, everywhere.

we're all created by God with a natural mechanism to worship
- ITS ABOUT WHO YOU WORSHIP.

Fact 3 : We are made to Worship God.
all thing are made by God, for God. thats a fact. surely enough, have you ever wondered since you we're small : " who created me ? " and certaintly, we would surely hunger for our maker.

1 ) Worship matters Because i am and ALWAYS will be a worshipper.
- it all goes down to who you'll choose.
- making sure what matters most to us, REALLY matters most to us.

2 ) Worship matters because there is a BATTLE for your worship.
- our common enemy : satan.
- the greatest thing God wants from us : OUR AFFECTION.
so, isn't it logical that satan would want to take that away from you? for he wants to pit himself against God and rebel. Your Worship matters to God, if it didn't, satan wouldn't even have bothered to steal it from God.

3 ) Worship matters because we BECOME what we WORSHIP.
what you WORSHIP ---> what you become obsessed with
what you becoem obsessed with ---> you imitate
what you imitate ---> YOU BECOME

^ todays' sermoms, it really touched me and awakened me.
it let me even search my heart, whether God is the true number 1 in my heart.
i pray that i'll even not be distracted and be swayed. in the midst of serving and trying means to please God. the act of it becomes even more important than God. so, FOCUS is very important.

ive got friends, who claim themselves as Christians. BUT guess what? i'll summarise their life.
- online gaming
- obsession in physical appearance
- not in the spirit of maintaining the unity as a body of Christ
- dont do quiet times
- blaspheme
- dont even SHARE.

how terrible is that? even worse things i shan't mention. Basically, they're full of PRIDE. we dont want that, we should even learn from Jesus Christ that he has set an example where he humbled himself, and the was exalted to the highest place in heaven.
dont JUDGE others, leave it to GOD. just do your part.

*kenric :D . 12:43pm . 18 November 2006

ps : Jeremy received Christ today ! :D finally ! im very encouraged that my efforts paid off. and i thank God for even guiding me thru.

To Jeremy : heys ! im glad that you finally awoke ! yes, the key now is your focus and hunger =D keep it. dont even fear the bumpy road that we have to walk, for it is when we grow and strengthen our faith thru trials and tribulations ! dont worry even about facing rejection from family, friends okie? Persecution is by far the BEST and most EFFECTIVE method i known so far, that God uses to purify us :) it is by the going thru of this process where we GROW and we'll be tested for our FAITH. hang on there, for your reward is in heaven ! dont be even affected by people who want to shaken you ! have a clear conscience in what you do and not worry about what they question on what you do ! we're pleasing God, not man ! and God looks at our heart, he knows. so , dont worry if ever people question you, but you know what you doing is Right and your conscience is clear !

heres a really cool song.
Bolded words are my feelings & thoughts.
pause / stop the blog song at the bottom right.
wait for this to load, ENJOY :D

DC Talk - Jesus Freak

Separated I cut my self clean
From a past that comes back in my darkest of dreams
Been apprehended by a spiritual force
And a grace that replaced all the me I've divorced

I saw a man with a tattoo on his big fat belly
It wiggled around like marmalade jelly
It took me awhile to catch what it said
Cause I had to match the rhythm of his belly with my head
"Jesus Saves" is what it raved in a typical tattoo green
He stood on a box in the middle of the city
And claimed he had a dream

Chorus:
What will people think when they hear that I'm a Jesus freak
What will people do when they find that it's true
I don't really care if they label me a Jesus freak
There ain't no disguising the truth

Kamikaze my death is gain
I've been marked by my Maker
A peculiar display
The high and lofty they see me as weak
Cause I won't live and die for the power they seek

There was a man from the desert with naps in his head
The sand that he walked was also his bed
The words that he spoke made the people assume There wasn't too much left in the upper room
With skins on his back and hair on his face
They thought he was strange by the locusts he ate
The Pharisee's tripped when they heard him speak
Until the king took the head of this Jesus freak

chorus

People say I'm strange, does it make me a stranger
That my best friend was born in a manger
People say I'm strange, does it make me a stranger
That my best friend was born in a manger

What will people think
*What will people think*
What will people do
*What will people do*
I don't really care
*What else can I say*
There ain't no disguising the truth
*Jesus is the way*

STORY TELLING

lead : John
age : 15
studies : a mess
life : dont really have one ( dota, Final Fantasy, and day dreams , debates )

here goes...

John is a typical kid, just like any other kid you would find around the corner which is walking in the dark, without God really in his life. he knows God, but, hes bid for more than arguments, and does not trust even on God's very existence. hes the kind that would only seek God when in trouble.

and this is how life goes downhill .... when u dont have God and ur in this scenario. u get consumed in your games and would rather debate, rebuke and argue on Biblical texts. ( not believing it and having DOUBTS on every single point ) than even wanting to just give all your heart out to God and let him take the wheel. or even spending your time wisely learning more about him and nurture your relationship with him. BUILDING YOUR FAITH.

YOU would worry all the time, homework, love, studies.....rather than WORKING on it and seeking God's help. and things ends up how u predicted they were. usually the negative ones.

LASTLY, ur not protected by the armour of God. you wouldn't want this to happen. you get ATTACKED OPENLY by satan. he attacks your emotions. he makes you feel emptiness and loneliness. he gives you illusions, he makes you look at negative sides rather than the brigther side of life.

and lastly, satan pulls out his flying daggers and prepares for his final and deadliest blow, to send your life crashing down, without any possibility for you to stand on your feet again. this dagger is called, LONELINESS. he torments you the worst way you could ever experience, EMOTIONALLY.

lasttly, John met the "love" of his life. he thinks that she is right for him, and for the VERY first time in his life, he gets things serious. he practically LIVES for her. and even wants to improve his life and change who he is, just to get her attention and LOVE. little did he know that this was a trap, the SAME OLD trap used by the old fogey, satan. ( how dumb for satan to use the same tactics over and again, BUT EVEN dumber to fall for the same tactics. ) .

and satan illusionises John, he makes him have emotion "rollercoasters" and he gets VERY furious at other guys getting close to her, and becomes aggresive and especially possessive. he doesn't realise this. he lets his life get affected by this. this made things worse. his STUDIES, his relationship with God detiorates. ( did it even exist? ) . and he becomes the laughin stocks of his friends. however, he doesn't realise why. he was strong willed and decides to not even wonder why. he continues to try means to get the girl's attention. and the others continue to laugh. and finally, he found out that the girl already has a boyfriend.

his life came crashing down as satan's daggers started to pierce through his naked body ( didn't even have the least protection ) and he felt the piercing pain in his heart. drowned in sorrows and filled with hatred and anger, he becomes' satan's slave. and this was how his life came crashing down. all of God's efforts, plans for him are all wasted. but would God even care when you denied him in the first place?

END

personal thoughts :
people, THINK . if ever time turned around. and he chose to seek God instead. what would've happened? well, i say. he'll be fully prepared and protected from satan's attack in the first place. and even the confidence that God is Love. so, i want to emphasise something. in EVERY point of our life. God gives us a CHANCE to CHOOSE. HIM OR THE WORLD. choose wisely. the rest of your eternity lies on it. you may never get another chance if the people around you are irresponsible christians who dont encourage you. be thankful if you've got at least one.

so, i'll end by saying....
Christians, lets all do our part. encourage friends that are falling. spread your light. People who got this second or even third or fourth chance, CHERISH it. Chances are hard to come by. and once you've passed yours, there may never be another coming again.

LASTLY, youths, dont look for love in the wrong places. YOU'VE GOT GOD. he wants to know you more than you want to. what you can do now its to do well in your studies and do it for God's GLORY ! experience his overwhelming LOVE nobody else can ever give :D

ps : sorry if it seems a little shallow. i didn't do any planning for this. it came right out of my mind :) apologies. FEEL FREE TO TAG ABOUT THIS POST. I WANT COMMENTS !!! feedback about what this guy could do to overcome the attacks and eventually see God's light.

*-kenric :) . 11:39pm . 16 November 2006

ACTUALLY....
i wasn't really keen to blog today buts....something caught my attention and i felt a serious need to BLOG and tell !

TODAY
- went school
- had trainings
- went home, washed up and headed to church
- meet ade for discipleship !!!
- headed home
- do homework :D

yet to be done :
- bible reading session before bed. ( one is in the morn )
- pack bag.
- wash face.
- set alarm.
- sleep.

HI-LIGHT OF THE DAY
discipleship ! today's was great and awesome, just like any other :D as usual.its such a great joy to even learn more about God ! and even NOW , with my NLT study bible, quiet time has been MORE efficient and fruitful ! verses i didn't catch or understand could now be easily understood and grasped :D all thanks to the NLT, and God for creating such a awesome book. and all for just $42 , its so worth it. it is probably the best buy of this year, probably the whole of my life =D where else can you find another book that can be with you or even be applied to you for the whole of your life? and just $42 ? if there is tell me, for im sure the words of God is worth more than any ither earthly minerals, be it gold, titanium, iron, silver, you name it. FOR the first time, even till the end of the earth, that PAPER could be worth more than any of these earthly treasure.

DONT GET ME WRONG, these papers are not just any paper. its the LIVING WORDS that are on it :D

for dummies : if you dont understand, dont keep quiet. ASK :)

it BEEN LONG ! ever since i last posted some useful verses...
and here goes....

from yesterday's quiet time :

Revelation 13:9-10
anyone with ears to hear,
should listen and understand.
anyone who is destined to prison,
will be taken to prison.
anyone destined to die by the sword,
will die by the sword.
This means that God's holy people must endure persecution patiently and remain faithful.

close your eyes and look deep into your heart, ask yourself : " will i flee when faced with these obstacles? ", " will i deny God at these situations? " , " will i even FEAR ? "

if you answered yes for any, you still have time, but not much either. Jesus' return is very near, and we never know when that will be. be prepared. claim that place in heaven.

and lastly, few verses from discipleship :

John 15:16
You did Not choose me, but i chose you to go and bear fruit - fruit that will last. Then the father will give you whatever you ask in my name.

Matthew 28:18-19
Jesus came and told his disciples, " i have been given authority in heaven and on earth" . Therefore go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing then in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
God chose me. and i choose to OBEY Him.
therefore, i'll stand for my Generation.
bring light to those around me :D

people, be ready. you might be one of the people on my list. im going to TELL TELL TELL ! the Truth will blow your minds and set you free. trust me. i wont just stand here and watch people going to hell each day without ever knowing God's love in their life.

to Christians : THINK, one soul saved. is an ETERNITY claimed. Lets all do our part !

AND LASTLY, THE REASON THAT STIRRED THE EXCITEMENT FOR ME TO BLOG :
i just realised that MISSIONS are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO near !!!
29th NOVEMBER !!!! that is JUST 16 DAYS LEFT !!!!

I PRAY, that my mission trip WILL be approved ! pray for me too yeah ? :)
LETS push !

*-kenric :D . 11:55pm . 13 November 2006

HELLO :D very tiring day indeed , partly because i didn't have enough sleep.
BUT , isn't it a joyful and cheerful thing to serve God? oh yes i enjoyed myself in today's fund raising ( for missions ) !!! we've gotta PUSH !

though there were times that "business" wasn't that good, we ought to know we shouldn't give up ! in times of need, we are to constantly pray that God will even bring crowds to our stalls or even be attracted. and indeed, things turned out for the better when crowds came at around 11pm .

TODAY'S POST !!!

some words to describe TODAY !
- Exciting
- Thrilling
- God-filled

Exciting : okie today i brought a friend along to church, YIXIAN ! amazingly, she liked the atmosphere and she even thanked me for bringing her to church :) and here i THANK GOD for the atmosphere, and even thank Him for the comfort he brought to the newcomers. AND, the friend i brought along last week came to Church THIS WEEK ! yes at first i thought that she'll be affected by her friends who didn't believe in God, BUT i really thank God for strengthening her and even for standing strong to her stand ! not caring about what others feel, its the inner hunger that God has given and blessed her and i thank God for this. i pray that she'll even GROW, and even become more HUNGRY for God. and even to become stable and come chruch regularly !

Thrilling : yes and im sure most of you know why !!! xD its about today's sharing yeah. ade suddenly called me at 12:30 to tell me that sister wanping wants to see me once i reached church. and ade gave me a fright ! she asked : " eh, what did u do this time ah ? " it sounded as if i did something wrong ! xD and i didn't so i was quite surprised . and it was when i met sister wanping that i found out the truth that i'll be sharing my testimony in today's service. OKIE at first i was VERY tensed YET thrilled, i didn't know what to say. BUt i thought, HEY that isn't so hard what !!! cos its like speaking from my heart between what God has done to my life and me ! so i was EASY i thought. its the FEAR of speaking in front of so many people ! haha but it was quite okie, i prayed and indeed i was calm enough to speak in front of everyone. tho i missed out some points....

AND LUCKY YOU IF YOURE READING THIS BLOG NOW !
why? cos im gonna TELL TELL TELL !

haha its not much actually, but it means alot to me yeah so...here goes :
- okie, at first when i started to come church, mom didn't really approve of me going to church. she was afraid of losing a son. and thought that i wont respect her when i had God in my life. yes BUT thanks to everyone who prayed really hard for me !!! for it was one of the hardest times of my walk. i had to choose between God and Mom. yes, but i chose God. and guess what, he blessed me ! Mom started to approve of me going to church !

she even encourages me to go now ! and even she fetches me home almost every saturday night ! just to make sure that it'll be home on time !!! ( ive got probation if u didn't know, its at 9pm ) THANKS MOM ! & DAD the driver of course. :D

its amazing and now im trying to get her to come for our adult services !!! EVERYONE PARY FOR HER OK !!! im sure, that even when i start to receive God into my life, i will start to see family members coming to christ !!! i am even trying to get DAD , KEVIN to come ! so everyone , PRAY ! and im sure, in no time once their salvation is redeemed, we'll even see RELATIVES, FRIENDS or even AQUAINTAINCES or people at their WORKPLACES even start to see CHANGE and come to the house of the Lord ! all we have do to is to believe and have faith ! we're accountable for the salvation of people around us !

so, why are we holding on to this Good news? SPREAD IT ! SHARE IT ! EMBRACE IT ! how can we just stand here looking at souls walking into hell one by one , yet we're sitting here comfortably doing nothing to help? I URGE EVERYONE, to even SHARE ! build the kingdom of God ! we want to see his kingdom GROW , EXPAND and REIGN !


God-filled : yes, Today's sermons touched my heart ! it impacted me . :)
and here it is .... the never failing weekly sharing of sermons via BLOGGER .
( you may want to thank God for blogger and me for this x) here goes...

THE POWER TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE
- if you dont want to see change in your life, it is a great tragedy.
- 10 out of 15 bestsellers are self aid books, but changes brought by these DONT LAST !!! the power to change dont come from these, they must come from the heart :D

Phillipians 3:10 -
I want to know Christ and experience the mighty power that raised him from the dead. I want to suffer with him, sharing in his death.

Ephesians 1:19-20
I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God’s power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God’s right hand in the heavenly realms.

you know what? this very power that raised Christ from the dead is made avaliable for us !!!

4 steps to see change :

EVENT : Jacob wrestles with God
Genesis 32:24-30

22 During the night Jacob got up and took his two wives, his two servant wives, and his eleven sons and crossed the Jabbok River with them. 23 After taking them to the other side, he sent over all his possessions.

24 This left Jacob all alone in the camp, and a man came and wrestled with him until the dawn began to break. 25 When the man saw that he would not win the match, he touched Jacob’s hip and wrenched it out of its socket. 26 Then the man said, “Let me go, for the dawn is breaking!”

But Jacob said, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.”

27 “What is your name?” the man asked.

He replied, “Jacob.”

28 “Your name will no longer be Jacob,” the man told him. “From now on you will be called Israel,[c] because you have fought with God and with men and have won.”

29 “Please tell me your name,” Jacob said.

“Why do you want to know my name?” the man replied. Then he blessed Jacob there.

30 Jacob named the place Peniel (which means “face of God”), for he said, “I have seen God face to face, yet my life has been spared.” 31 The sun was rising as Jacob left Peniel,[d] and he was limping because of the injury to his hip. 32 (Even today the people of Israel don’t eat the tendon near the hip socket because of what happened that night when the man strained the tendon of Jacob’s hip.)

STEP 1 : CRISIS phase
- God will put us in situations beyond control
- this is to get our attention
- this is for our own good to even learn to fend for ourselves.

STEP 2 : COMMITMENT phase
- God wants to test if we're commited to stay in the situation, untill he turns it around FOR GOOD.
- " if you want your situation to turn around, you need to want it badly "
- God dont just want to get our attention, he dont solve our problems IMMEDIATELY, he'll wait to see if we REALLY mean business with him !
- dont even GIVE UP if youre in this situation.

REMEMBER : the present mess we're in wasn't developed overnight. it took months and even years ! so when God removes then, he has to do it, LAYER by LAYER. so, it takes awhile for God's change to fully complete.

STEP 3 : CONFESSION phase
- refer to the story : when asked his name , Jacob admitted it and replied " Jacob " which lterally means : CHEATER , SCHEMER.
- he admitted his faults honestly.
- God's work will not take place UNTILL we admit and take responsibility !

STEP 4 : CO-OPERATION phase
- God wants to speak to us, MORE than we want to listen.
-> when we do things God's way, we'll get God's kind of results ! BUT when we do it man's way... youve guessed it right ! we'll get man's results. ITS LOGICAL ! :D

and look back to the story, what did God do when Jacob comfessed?
he told him that he'll no longer be known as Jacob, BUT will from then on be called Israel. and it means : Prince of God.

and guess what, God solved his problems, and even his bad habit of running away when trouble comes ! he injured his hips, and the thigh muuscles were there ( thigh muscles are the most powerful muscles ) NOW that he's limped, he couldn't run anymore !

and lastly, its missions FUND RAISING TOMORROW !! very excited yeah ! the target : $40 000 . to provide for people financially in need ! therefore , PEOPLE ! we've got to do our part !!! and God will do then rest ! in the mission field ! LET HIS MIRACLES UNFOLD !

interested to come?
any queries, call me : 97878791 . email me, msn me : K3nRiC@hotmail.com

*-kenric xD . 11:55pm . 11th November 2006

psst : dont ask why i finish blogging till so late. i re-typed this twice, there was a problem just now and i didn't manage to save it. SO, thank God that you've got such a committed person like me ! ahahah xD okie joking. but go ahead if you're touched at what i did :D

FINALLY ! im free to blog for now :D
was quite busy the past two days, so i didn't have much time to blog yeah.
nothing much happend these few days actually...
basically i just spent my time the whole day doing my maths assignments and homeworks.

yea, im close to completion....
TODAY
- woke up at 10am
- did some homework
- headed to town for lunch
- went to MCYS to report.
- showed mr.tay the details of my mission trip, camp, and basketball outing.

its not a 100% gurantee that i my trip will be approved. BUT i believe that God will provide :) i trust in him. this is yeat another time for God to perform his miracles ! and he'll never fail us !!! as he delights in blessing his children. im sure he can do the same miracle as he did at home.

after that, called mr.teoh and told him the details, as a letter will be required for the outing. after that i called ade, told her the details about the letter that i need for the trip. in order to let my officer to send a request for me leaving the country.

YES, this i pray that God will bless me in. when we glorify him. he'll provide.
GOD IS AN AWESOME GOD. ! :D

GOOD NEWS !!!
- thru God's faithfulness and righteousness, his wonderful promises are fufiled ! mom and dad has consented to my mission trip ! yes and amazing testimonies to share with you people later on.

okie, so today i went to pasir ris. family chalet. i reached there at around 3 if im not wrong. ronald ( my little cousin ) asked me to go escape with him. and since i had free tickets, i went on and along with him. ( its a WASTE of money going escape theme park ) i assure you. the rides are boring. which is why i dont see the worth and point queueing for them. :D

later on, went roller blading with the kids, and later swimming. KEIRA is sooo cute i tell you. too bad no pictures ! she was happily playing with water and running around. and as usual .... hopping around wanting food and sweet drinks :) and yes, we had a BBQ . the food was awesome ! i miss bbqs' . i think my last was the VERY day before i was caught. =D yeah but left early as i have probation....

and yes, my amazing testimony :
4 november , morning 8:30 am.
looked in my wallet : discovered that i have ONLY $7 . with many things to pay for. example : NLT bible. lunch. dinner. ( est cost : 42 + 4.50 + 3.50 = 50 ) and a commitment of tithe and offering to God.

and guess what, i paryed really hard that night before and morning for God to provide a way out and a solution. and he did ! as usual, mom gave me $15 pocket money. and later she asked : " since today ur not going chalet with us.... " and passes $10 more. later she added on : " yeah be home in time, if u really late then take cab, passes $10 more. "

this leaves me with exactly $47 with some other small changes and coins. and missions came to my mind. as earlier on, mom was sceptical about missions, and was reluctant and utmost unable to provide financially. and therefore i REALLY wanted badly to go MISSIONS ! and i prayed real hard in my bus rides. and God gave me and answer. " pay for the bible, offer all of the remaining " and i was like WHAT? all my money? what about lunch and dinner?!!!!

but, i decided to be obedient. i payed. and offered. and yet, i didn't feel hungry at all. for the whole day ! wake up till go home NEVER eat. i just prayed whenever i could. and guess what? initally i was really afraid to face rejection and refusal from parents, BUT, this time i used a different approach.

i let mom&dad see the " HIStory making in the nations " booklet. and they were kinda
convinced. dad readily told me to fill the form and asked when i need to pay !!! whoo and YES ! she signed on the forms for missions & camp ! Praise The Lord ! im deeply amazed by the wondrous works God had done in my life.

ASK AND IT WILL BE GIVEN TO YOU !

so lastly. i'll only have one more obstacle to pass ! my officer and juvenile court's approval for my travel. BUT im sure ! God will indeed and surely bless you, when you Glorify him in your works and acts. :D

*-kenric :D . 11:31 pm . 3 November 2006

Okays, its past 12 mid night and its so called a " NEXT - DAY " but still i want to blog about yesterday, cause its SO recent. 30 minutes ago. so maybe i'll blog again tonight about todays DAYTIME events.

FIRSTLY, i am VERY VERY VERY thankful to the Lord for giving me such a good leader, discipler, a friend and a sister : Adelene ! xD ( ade, if ur reading this dont be shy ah ! )

yes i could still remember when i was a fresh Christian, i was quite rebellious, i didn't obey her/leaders/authority much. BUT i started to wonder why she asked me to do certain things and certain instructions, and i felt that they were all for my own good. and she was in fact guiding me in my walk, she was teaching and reminding me that i should glorify God in all my actions and decisions.

MOST IMPORTANTLY ! i am really THANKFUL for the times that she willingly sacrificed her time for discipleship ! the times that she had to adhere to my time schedules, for her understanding that i have to be home by 9pm daily. she still made it a point and a must to have discipleship weekly and not for it to be missed. even though she knows that she'll be scolded, even though she knows that she'll be late, she didn't mind. and still she would come my house at the end of her day , all the driving lessons, all the work at her workplace , instead of going home and resting, she was working for God, she never complained ! she did it willingly and joyfully for God.

For this i am thankful, for she has set a very good example as a leader, with her actions, she caused me to grow, not stumble in the Lord. her actions as a leader has greatly encouraged me to be even more on fire for God, even for my passion and hunger for God to even grow !

TODAY
- went to school
- had 4 periods of MT ! :D
- had tranings
- HAD DISCIPLESHIP !

okie so as usual im going to share abit about today's discipleship x)

I Choose to Submit as Jesus did !
Hebrews 13:17 - Obey your leaders and submit to their authority. they keep watch over you as men who must give an account. Obey then so that their work will be a joy, not a burden, for that would be of no advantage to you.

what is the first thought that come to your mind when you see the word SUBMISSION?
although we may look to it as a linkage to abuse and expliotation, or even as a doormat for people to step on, BUT its wrong :D

in God's kingdom, submission is VERY powerful and it is a very liberating thing !
and most importantly, we must submit to GOD'S idea.

- even though God knows each and every one of us individually and speaks to us on a individual basis, he also speaks to us through human channels of authority.
-he speaks to us, disciplines us and even mould our character through our : parents, pastors and spiritual leaders.

anyone can rebel, it is definitely easy to rebel. HOWEVER, it isn't easy for one to submit. only a muture person does. submission dont make us smaller, BUT bigger ! Thru this act of submission , we honour God and please God.

sub mission is NOT :
- to be a doormat for others to step on
- to blindly follow others
- to be forced to do something that you are not willing to

what submission really is :
- acknowledging the God-given authority of someone - that God has placed him or her in authority over you.
- to have humility
- to voluntarily co-operate with authority, even when we disagree
- to realise that God knows best; that we are not in the position to judge those who are in authority over us.
- an act of faith that expresses trust in God
- a sign of spiritual maturity, honouring God and bringing pleasure to him.

Why not submitting to God and rebelling against authority is wrong? :
- the rebellious attitude reflects a rebellious attitude towards God.
- rebellion had origins in satan, he was proud and he went against God. he was thrown out of heaven. :)
- when we have rebellious attitude, we're following the example of satan. however, when we submit, we are following the way of JESUS who humbled himself even to his earthly parents, even to death ! by following Jesus, we become more like him and the person God wants us to be !
- when we are submissive, we become qualified to lead others, by having a humble and submitted heart, God will then trust us with authority and leadership.

James 4:7 - submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

1 BIG disadvantage about BORING school days ?
- nothing to blog about !

TODAY
- woke up at 7:30 ! :D ( learnt my lesson from yesterday )
- got into class later than 8am, but teacher still havent turned up !
- and LESSONS, LESSONS and more LESSONS
- okie after 1230, the maths wasn't that bad as i thought, it turned out to be quite interesting. and also stayed back for another 1hr 30mins to do some math homework ! yeah ! it feels good to know that at least im clearing my homeworks !

feedback : hmms lessons are more "absorbable" with this type of timetables. 1 hour lessons, more relaxed. not those kinda cramped lengthy lessons stretched throughout the day. and attending school at a later time feels better, i feel more awake.

and lastly, the most horrible thing of today, i was drenched like nobody's business !
leefeng decided that he'll run from the school gate to the nearest shelter, but guess what? even before i could reach the school gate, i was already drenched. how nice :) yea, and since i was already drenched, i decided to go along and run in the rain. and while walking down the stairs to the bus stop i slipped and fell. had a few cuts, thats all.

yeah, but the rain was definitely extrordinary for today. its was BIG BIG BIG ! and i could even see a certain extent of flooding at the busstops and the pavements ! yea, and i'll be having trainings tomorrow, hope my legs dont work up again. may God Bless Me ! :D

*-kenric :D . 8:18pm . 31 October 2006

TODAY
- woke up at 6:15 .
- realised that school starts only at 8am.
- took my time to bathe and all.
- reached school at 7:15am , still quite early.
- slept all the way in class till teacher arrived.

okays, lessons wasn't that bad as i thought. it was quite relaxed for today. didn't have t stay back to do my maths TYS. PHEW ! yeah, but trainings started early, 0130pm. and lastly. trainings was terrible for me today. i think my legs are starting to fail me. the legs that i depended on ever since i learnt how to walk. yet, at the age of 15, they're failing me. sad case huhs?

i couldn't sprint like usual due to pains felt on the muscles and bones in my shin area. whenever i try to exert force on it or stretch it, i'll feel a sharp pain on both my legs. i think im going to see a doctor for this. :) probably he/she'll be able to explain why my legs cramp so easily when i sit down, while others dont. and people can have their legs crossed and seated confortably yet, i cant. there must be a real good reason for this and ive got to find out !

i gotta tell myself this : " I LOVE MATHS !!! " :D

*-kenric :D . 8:22pm . 30 October 2006

okie heres a conversation between 3 people :

john : dont look for love ! let love look for you =)
peter : love is blind ! thats why it cant find me, i need to find it myself !

KENRIC : well, both of you are WRONG :) why? cause God isn't blind. YET He is LOVE. if you want to look for love yourself, look to God. you'll never be disappointed. hes already calling out to you, yet you cant hear him, cause we're bridged by our sins. which is why, we can only reach him thru our savior Jesus Christ, receive him TODAY ! and confess your sins. for he loved you so much that he already died for your sins even before you were born ! then, you'll begin grow closer to him, you'll be able to experience God like never before ! you'll see a whole new meaning in life ! INVEST ON ETERNITY ! GOD !

DONT BUY MOTOROLA PHONES.

okie just kidding, but it only serves as a warning :)
yeaaa. just 2 days 2 DAYS from getting it back from repairs and im sending it back again for repairs. yea. this time, the problems only became worser. i cant call. cant msg. cant play songs, NOTHING ! yeah, i think motorola seriosly need to concentrate technically more. cause their designs are quite fine already :D

yeah, so i woke up today having no plans for the day. and so, i decided to head down to plaza singapura and have it sent for repairs. and ive just found out that now they've got another repair centre at jurong. next time if ever my phone has got anothe problem, im sending it there. at least its nearer.

yeah, and later i ate in town, tori-Q ALONE ! yeaa. and later i headed home, since ive got nothing better to do . and before leaving, i went to Chippy's to get a Cheesy Hotdog with mashed potatoes and had it on my bus ride. so, thats about today ...

PEOPLE HAVING HOLIDAYS TOMORROW. IM GOING TO SCHOOL TOMORROW ! XD
how mad is that. oh. my mind is starting to burst. but neverminds, ive got my God with me. so. WHY FEAR? :D

*-kenric :) . 8:21pm . 29 October 2006

TODAY :
1) walking out of loneliness walkathon
2) CHURCH ! :)

okie my phone is starting to get cranky again...
i set the alarm at 5pm last night, but i dotn know why my phone just shut down on its own. and in the end i woke up at 6am, all thanks to dad, and stef caling my house. that i was finally able to wake up. though i was late for lester's dad's car, but luckily dad offered to give me a ride :D and i wasn't late in the end, still managed to reach church at 630am :)

okie the walk was quite interesting, lots of people, both young and old. yeah and along the walk we chatted with the senior citizens, it was quite interesting, people sharing their life stories and christian walks. amazing and enriching experience :) it was worth my saturday morning's sleep !

after that headed back to church for discipleship ! HAD A LONG LONG LONG DAY TODAY. very tired. okie and so i'll share today's discipleship, followed by today's sermons.

Discipleship : I choose to give as God gives !
luke 6:38 - Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured onto your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

when we give :
- we affirm God's lordship and ownership over our lives. recognising that all we have belongs to Jesus in action, and not just words.
- we exercise faith in God. we trust that he is faithful to his promises and he is a generous Father who looks after our needs
- we will in return receive God's blessings, not necessarily financially, but also in other areas in our lives.

God will not let us outgive him !!!

All we have belongs to God, yet, he wants us to set aside a portion to be dedicated to him. and by tithing ( giving 10% of our alowance, income ), we are recognising this fact, and affirming that everything we have comes from God.

Giving back to God is not because God is greedy and wanting to have our money, however he wants us to recognise his rights. God wants to bless us with the money we give back to him. So, we SHOULD NOT rob him of this opportunity to bless us.

God dont need our money, we give because we NEED to. it is the cure of greed, because when we give generously to God, we are going against the worldly mentality of materialism & greed. By giving joyfully and liberally, we're freeing ourselves from these traps !

INVEST ON ETERNITY !

Matthew 19:21 - Jesus answered : " If you want to be perfect, go, sell all your possesions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. then come follow me. "

^ it is when we are able to fully let go of our greed and materialism, that we'll be able to lead a perfect Christ-Likedness lifestyle !

AND LASTLY, today's sermons :

How to Please God
speaker : Sister WanPing

2 ways to please God :
- Have faith in jesus Christ
- To please God with all our heart

2 corinthians 5:21 - God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become righteousness of God.
^ loving Christ with all our heart

Our faith, WILL, MUST, SHOULD grow. so that we will move even closer to God.
we WANT to please God with all our heart.

Things that stop us from pleasing God :
1) fear : fear comes from believing a lie.
- the devil will constantly put lies into our minds and we shouldn't believe in them.

* 1 Corinthians 1:27-28 - But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chosethe weak things of the world to shame the strong. He chose the lowly things and the despised things - to nullify the things that are.

- fear comes when we make mistakes, and when we fear our parents.
- we need to believe what God said and NoT what we feel.

2) instead of pleasing God, we please man instead.
- when full of pride, we start to blame people.
- we will not want others to know our weaknesses.

" all blame is a waste of time. No matter how much fault you find with another, and regardless of how much you blame him, it will not change you. The only thing blame does is to keep the focus off you when you are lookign for external reasons to explain your unhappiness and frustration " - Dr. Wayne Dyer

- insecurity comes from excessive inward looking at ourselves
Freedom from insecurity : LOOKING TO JESUS .
Hebrews 12:2 - let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfector of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scourning its shame and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

things that are not pleasing to God ;
- dihonesty
- blaming others
- pride
- insecurity

and so, thats about today :D and lastly, i've got a great miracle i want to share ! remember about my phone becoming faulty? guess what? after the walk and when we went back to church, the phone went back to normal, and it has beem functioning normall UNITL NOW ! amazing huhs? the mp3 player couldn't even work, and the screen was distorted, and its just miraculously became well again. THANK GOD ! :D and here i am VERY VERY VERY tired, cos i only had 3hrs sleep last night ! yeah, im gonna have a VERY VERY VERY good night sleep tonight ! BYEEEEEE :) and heres the pic i promised yesterday ....



oh and lastly, IM ITCHING ALL AROUND MY BODY NOW ! due to the high exposure to NATURE today ! and it feels terrible, i doubt i can have a good night's sleep;/

*-kenric :D . 10:52pm . 28 October 2006

WHOOOOOOOOOOOSH ~ !

had a very VERY very fun day today indeed !
okie firstly, ive gotten back my V3x !!! ahhh, no more boring bus and train rides, cause i depend on my mobile mp3 player for my music. :D

i called up motorola and ask whether my phone was ready for collection and he said i could collect anytime, so i thought why not? since i was meeting KY at 3pm. yeah and after collecting i had my favourite burger again ! DOUBLE WESTERN BACON CHEESEBURGER ! haha, i think my stomach has expanded due to prolonged periods of eating their burgers, haha its my 3rd this week. I WANNA GO FOR THE 4TH AND 5TH THIS WEEKEND ! ahaha, but probably not, cause im busy for the whole of tomorrow.

yeah, and after eating i walked from Plaza Singapura to FarEst Plaza just to kill time x) and later from there i took 190 back to cck. the ride was much missed, as its been long since i had a musically filled journey :) enjoyed it. yeah and while heading to the bus 188 berth i bumped into kangyi, yuansheng, cheryl, daojun and missho ! wow, i got a shock , i thought they'll already be there, but then at least its better with people accompanying you on your rides. :D

yea, and when we reached we joined xinhui at lane No. 1 & 2 :) our lanes. haha at first i didn't play really well ! kangyi, yuansheng and daojun were so PRO !!! they kept striking, it was only untill towards the end of the game that i started catching some momentum and started to strike as well =D gagagaga. 1st game daojun won, 2nd game kangyi won. me and yuansheng chickened on our shots when we heard that the winner will treat ice cream xD yahh ! hmms but quite amazingly, the girls played quite well too, especially XINHUI ! i was shocked :)

yeah and after our games we headed to lot one for ice creams at macdonalds. kangyi and i went on our own to stella's condo, cause she booked the games room and we wanted to play pool ! gagaga x) yeah it was fun, we played ping pong also ! hahah, at some point of time i kept jumping around madly shouting : " im the champion of the world !!! " i guess the passion got into me xD and i started to get high !

yeaa, and im SOOOOOOOO excited about tomorrow , and i dont know why.
ive to get up at 5am tomorrow morn inorder to reach church at 0630am for the bus to marina park for the walkathon x) yea, but i guess it'll be a good experience and surely lots of FUN !

and lastly, i'll show you people a picture of me bowling :) i'll post a collage of everyone either tomorrow of later, after miss ho has finished sending to me .


me taking a shot :D kangyi watching, and learning x)

*-kenric :D . 10:19pm . 27 October 2006

HELLOOOOS :)

im currently enjoying my pack of Starburst Soda Squirts ! :D nice nice .
ive turned to like starburst gummies more and more these days, they taste special, look special. and its kinda rare here in singapore...and its also more ex.

THATS WHY, im asking people who are going aussie this holidays to get me a few packs :)

so, went to vivo city to watch " AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH " , very meaningful show ! but at times its was quite boring, and a few of us fell asleep at certain parts of the show. BUT overall, it was a good show for learning and insiring that we've got to do our part to save this earth of us.

yes and it was a boring day of school for me, and some. we got back our results slips. oh my, it was horrible terrible and NOT MENTIONABLE. means i wont say how well/bad i did :) ask me urself. i shall not publish it PUBLICLY .

assembly was boring BORING boring. and mr you-know-who . did yet another of his , attention seeking, lame acts. trying to make us write lame slips of paper and asked us to get out of the auditorium as if we were soldiers -.- yes and after that i had to wait for him for soooooo LONG ! i left school only at 2:45pm. making me almost late for the show ! okie, neverminds, tomorrow will be a fun day. i'll be either going to stella's house for pool, or going gombak to meet missho and classmates for bowling. still havent decided yet, but i'll be meeting ade for discipleship for sure tomorrow x)

*-kenric xD . 9:29pm . 26 October 2006

ALIRIGHT !
im aching from top till my toes, though there wasn't training today, but there was the friendly match. yes, i was running like mad, even with the leg injuries im having :D

hmms, im getting my results slip tomorrow, very tense. i hope i had done well for this year....

and for others, its the last day of school tomorrow, yet for me, its isn't. i have 3 extra weeks. its been boggling my mind ever since dont know when. especially the thought of my uncompleted TYS.

and yah tomorrow we're going to catch : " AN UNCONVENIENT TRUTH " a much awaited show.... :) ahhs at VIVO, leefeng and me agreed, we're going to carl's again :D MUNCH MUNCH !

*-kenric :) . 8:51pm . 25 October 2006

Okie, today i was supposed to have discipleship in the mornings, yet ade overslept again, neverminds, should've called her earlier... =/so neverminds, its changed to tomorrow, after my trainings, tomorrow we're going to play against Coach's whye nam under 14 team. :)

yea, so instead, i went out with my friends to vivo city, yaaa. first thing i did when i reached there was go to candy empire and look for starbursts. But the queue was too long, therefore i decided, i would wait for the ones my friend promised me. they're buying it from aussie :D

secondly, we went to Carl's Jr. for lunch. and i had my Western bacon double cheese burger as usual :) i Loooooooove the bacons and the BBQ sauce in it . soooooo irresistable ! x) and so we walked around, but ended up buying nothing....cause all the shops we wanted to shop in was full of people, and had long queues -.-''' i think i'll drop by another day....

Headed home early, nothing much to do with so many people around, it just makes me feel uneasy.

just thinking, for others, this would be the last week of school, but for me? i still have 3 weeks to go. and the thought of having 3 weeks lesser holidays makes my head spin. Also, i hope that miss lee will reccomend that i drop my A-maths ! :) thats will be perfect, and also, it'll lessen my workload. Cause i dont even have the heart to get good results for it, so why waste my efforts studying it. just no motivation.

In 2 days time we'll be going VIVO AGAIN, ahhs, but this time its for a good cause. we're going there to watch " A Un-convenient Truth ". ive been looking forward to it for quite sometime :D very excited.

AND, i forgot / was too lazy to blog yesterday, yesterday we had no lessons. 1st half we were watcing " High School Muscial " nice show tho, quite interesting. 2nd half of the day was vollyball interclass. IN fact, we really ahve no talent or no skill for vollyball. we were trashed =) for all our 3 matches. yea, even when we had practice in P.E. we were not quite interested to play, we prefered to play soccer / basketball . Lastly, after school we had trainings, couldn't perform / run really well as my muscles were either torn or sprained in the leg, it was very disturbing and straining.
