Principle of Sowing and Reaping13/12

Principle of Sowing and Reaping

Genesis 8:22
As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, will never cease.

Luke 6-37-38
37- ‘Do not judge and you will not be judged. Do not condemn and you will not be condemned. Forgive and you will be forgiven.’
38- ‘Give and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.’

Galatians 6:7-10
7- Do not be deceived. God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.
8- The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from the nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the spirit, from the spirit will reap eternal life.
9-Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
10- Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.

What you sow is what you reap. Don’t be deceived by the timing

Sowing in the spirit:
*Prayer
*Reading His words
*Worshipping in private
*Exercising faith
*Generous giving
*Service unto others

1Corinthinas 9:6-11

John 12.24
I tell you the truth, unless s kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.

the messenger-6/12

The messenger-shared by Max

Mark 5:19-20
19 Jesus did not let him but said, ' go home to your family and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you’.
20 so the man went away and began to tell in the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him. And all the people were amazed.

1GO-go home to your friends

Roadblock- fear of rejection

= Afraid people reject Christianity

= Afraid people no longer are my friends

= Afraid if I kept sharing with them

2 TELL/PROCLAIM- tell them what great things the Lord has done for you

Roadblock-fear of telling

= Afraid people think weird of me

= Afraid ‘limited’ knowledge towards truth

3 BEGAN- start to share life and His words

Roadblock-lack of urgency and passion

= Someone else will do that part

= Bound by excuses

Checkpoints

>>>Gospel has the power

Romans 1:16- I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes, first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.

>>>cultivate a heart of urgency

Acts 20:24- However, I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me- the task of testifying to the gospel of God’s grace.

i watched a lot of movie this month

carriers

2012
love happens
couple retreats
mulan
phobia 2

sorry mum n dad...\
spend so much money to watch movie..
but some of them really nice..

start watching english series

d first series that i start to watch is d vampire diaries..duno whether i am weird or curious about how a human can fall in love with a vampire that u know he may kill u one day in order to get d blood to survive.and yet u cant even get pregnant to give birth to a normal child.

but i know love is blind. when we fall in love ..our eyes will see d good things in other.am i fall into love? i will say YES..God's love change me a lot and make me grow.. HE is so passion and love me all the time no matter i am good or following HIS will.

improving eng through watching eng series..

2012--my opinion jz above average

i watched this movie yesterday 12am..
first time saw so many people rushing to d cinema to watch this movie
conclusion-humans scare to die

this movie is ok..d storyline but still got a lot of space for improvement. it jz showing d disaster.but i don feel d panic behavior of d character..

it jz showing how all d world ends...it reflects my mind that human are sinful creatures that are so self-fish when the time of dead coming.but d movie didnt show much about that. after watching it--for me jz a normal movie as in real life..it will be 10000000000000X worst than d situation in d movie.

it show me that d life in this world is unfair.only d rich and have strong power will survive. i have experience d life being a rich and powerful family and being a poor and weak people ...so i really can feel that d feeling of poor..and somemore many of them are worst than my worst situation.
although i know i cant change d world..but d things in my control i will make it as fair as i can..i dont want discrimination and unfair things to happen..as d weaker part always suffer d outcome.

and again i am angry..but i hold my temper as it spoilt my mood of watching d movie as they talk so loud and non stop..this show how irresponsible a person. they never care about others as they are selfish. so annoying and irritating..uneducated and irresponsible.

i slept at 4..and wake up at 8.45.2moro will b a tiring day for me...

although we are the same in common but actually we are different

if follow schedule, i will be going sing k this afternoon. but i took this time to think about a lot of things. why? i pray and ask god for His words and direction. and i know there is different understanding about christianity life. and yet this happenned when christianity start to seperate into Roman Catholic and Potestant.
ya, its true that all of us have different journey with Him and all of us called ourselves christian as we belief he is the only GOd that loves us and die for our sin, follow his commanment, read his words and be as wise as He is.

i doesnt mean d songs u guys sang r not good, but it spoiled my mood as i feel it like evil---as half of them are christian. i cant hear any encoutering of GOd ..and some of them just sing of the sact of responsibilities..if u come with willingness and heart for Him, why all of u memorise d lyrics as it has been so long practising?it also brings to a point that half of d group representing cf r non-believers..how shameful it is for d believers and our GOd.. thats d reason i dont want to sing. no because of d reason that i cant sing but i dont want to do somethings for responsibilities although it start with passion and heart.

when d direction is different, i decided to take d step to step down from being committee member of cf as i know God have different purposes for all of us. and our understanding about God and level of faith are different.that's d answer i get after praying and fasting for half day.
no matter how u guys look at me..its fine..because d important things is how HE look at me..thats it.i know i am selfish and self-centre.as i ketekut in loving people..but i will grow in my love for people....

i am serious about my religion..it is not part of my life but its my whole life. i know its not enough to live a christianity life ..and i need to make deciples as what He had told us through bibles.

no matter how different we are we still serving d same god. we are son and daughter of Him..this time it maybe a new trial and challenge that he give to me for me to be more strong and stable at d ground to rise up for Him...

everything fine

by His grace and mercy..everythings are fine now..

finished my presentation.although in d process a lots of things happenned and unsatisfaction with d people. but atleast i keep my anger and i know i should accept the truth of the world that everyone is different and we are imperfect. but somehow i really duno whether there are wrongs in my way of caring people..i will angry with u jz bcz i care abt u and want u to change and i know u can do it..if 1 day i stop doing this to u..u will know i already felt dissapointed with u and left u go..

i hv done my presentation..i am steady and better than what i thought. and d lecturer love d power point so much--appreciate his words of appraisement..prove that my hard job is worth for it. and yet i never know they r so many people clapping hands after my group finished..it shocked me..bcz my group is not 100% ready to present..10s to my Father in Heaven again for his love to me and people around me..

went out dinner with feng and wil..we went to d fast food shop..forgot d name..d food is nice..somewhere near d oldtown white coffee uptown(same row)
feng get his salary so he belanja wil and me..really paiseh..bcz i may not b able 2 belanja him with my salary as he is going to leave soon...haih..by d way..next time i belanja u back ? k?
10s for d fellowship there and advices from both of u...

pray again..........

n also preparing some worship songs..i think i should b prepared as i am going to serve in this area and better to b equip b4 i go n find Alex..

finally it came to an end...what next>>?.

finally i finished my AS exam yesterday afternoon..it was a long long exam period last from around 1 month...aih ..but i knew that i am not doing as well as what i should be.

next..yaaa...d moral presentation next tuesday...how is it so far?guys?finishing?haha.i am still on d way..

next week another schooling days...4 hours accouting with an hour rest in between per day...its killing..i need more food to eat ..as accouting kills a lot of my brain's cell..

ya..my dance practice..Jac join d team..she learned so fast..amazing..(i learned for so many times still not that good..but its a good try for me..18 years d first time perfoming dance in front of so many people..so nervous...luckily boon feng is away on that day...or else he will laugh non-stop..i already experienced it when i was doing my dance practice in church..
i know i am so kaku..like a tree..and d girl-my partner-she is so great..somemore she is cheer leading..so let all d attention put on her..and i will keep myself at d side...or else i will destroy d beautifulness of d scene...

it was a good sharing topic on vibe yesterday..really like it..thing that make us attractive is d personalities and characteristics that we have in ourselves and not d outlook.
d appearance of ourselves can only last for a while..

a good personalities(great..)
+
a good outlook(adding value..add impurities)
=
perfect man...

tis morning was d first time bible study at His Zone..it was a great time for us to know more about His words..
its so glad that almost all d life group members made their effort to come..and Rachel u have done a good job..

tis week quite fruitful..
as i have a lot of new experiences- helping to run d event for thai students who visit to kdu..its so great and i am so proud of them as their english--so good--since they are 15years old...wah- they have lots of nutrients to grow so tall....so jealous..but its ok..God create me in His image so i have no right to complain about it..blah222

going to old town white coffee for dinner---i think i should do something for d life group frens..i still remember that Wil..told me that having dinner with others is the best time to build d friendship..
i am so glad that everyone of them enjoyed it and deserved it--although lots of funny things happened there.
jasmin-next time dun order maggi soup again...there are lots of nice food there...do bring tissue next time..haha

going to tropicana to do 1 to 1 with William-we have dinner at ice point(bin dian) near gsc..i realize that i am putting minimum effort to do things for Him..when wil asked me either u r selfish or u hv no heart to do things for Him?
i realize that i should put in more effort and christianity is not all about building yourself spiritually but at d same time making deciples and helping others to grow..

going to face2face to eat pan mee---i was so shocked that got people came to pj for half a year never tried this..so we plan to go there for dinner..but its great...
as u know consequences of after eating pan --mee--making biz at d toilet after going home...
i think its a way to clean my 'refrigerator'..

met with 3 new girls came to kdu for study 1 mths plus ago.. have a talk with them..they are christian but they are not going to church anymore--i didnt ask furthermore abt it as d possible reason for this happened is they not feel belonging to d church or being dissapointed by d people in d church.. so i start my invitation to them to come to my church..for indescrirable..
atfirst everything going ok..but when msA come and joined d topic..it all destroyed..they directly ran away...i know d problem..but i cant fix it

so i know cf wont b d best place for me to stay as there is no point for all d christians to gather 2gether every week while college is d best way to reach out but they are not doing d right way..
i know i should not judge any other people..but i know i should stand up for d people.

praying for d church frens..they r fasting..and Carissa is fasting for 1 mth..so amazing...jia you..

and lastly my house still cannot online..now lagi worst..d electric not stable somemore...landlord please kindly settle all d things as soon as possible..

good night guys,,1!!!
see u guys 2moro in church

Grace Extended

Grace Extended
John 1:16-17
16-From the fullness of his grace we have all received one blessing after another. (To the blessing that came through Moses has been added the greater blessing that has come through Jesus.)
17-For the law was given through Moses, grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
Reference
Hebrews 1:1-4
1 In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways,
2 But in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe.
3 The son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.
4 So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs.

Story:
2 Kings 6:24-7:10
6:24- Famine in Besieged Samaria
7:3- The Siege Lifted

Acts 20:24- however, I consider m life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me-the task of testifying to the gospel of God’s grace.
Reference
2 Timothy 4:7- I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have keep the faith. (Paul looks back over 30 years of labor as an apostle. Like an athlete who had engaged successfully in a contest, he had finished the race and kept the faith, had carefully preserved the deposit of Christian truth.

Grace received needs to become grace extended.
Practical questions:
1. Do you mind to spend your time with people to extend the grace to them?
2. Who do you take out for a meal?
3. Who do you spend your free time with?
4. Who do you give your gifts to?
5. Who do you pray for?
6. Will you consider making a change in your life to include people whom you left behind?
7. Whom will you invite to the church?

father or mother is better in parenting?

Without thinking too much I will say yes that women play more important role in parenting. But after further thinking, I think family consists of man and woman make a better parenting as it only consider a complete family with the exists of both man and woman.

In traditions, women are playing an important role as housewives. They spend most of their time in the house together with the children. The men are going out to work from day to night just to find a living for the family. However, when time goes, the women now are more ‘independent’ in the sense that they are now working and not totally rely on their husband. There is a balance between men and women. So there are different things that can be found in the men and women.

When we are young as small children, girls will be more likely to get close with their father while boys are vice versa. When we grow up, we tend to be more personal like more willing to share our lives with someone that we trust and same sex as us. We do not feel like embarrassed to talk about topic like relationship, marriage, love, sex and etc. This is important for teenagers as they are curious about these kinds of topics, and yet they need someone to teach them the correct way to handle them.

Beside that, men and women play different role in the family. Women will act as ‘white face’, give a lot of advice, encouragement, while on the other side, men need to act as a ‘black face’ to be more strict and give punishment to their children when in need. Parenting is important as it build up the children characteristics and personalities. It has been states that saying a bad word needs 7 good words to offset the effect of that bad word. A child born in the family with always scolding and punishment will have a negative mindset and low self-confident. This is bad for the children to start friendship, socialize with others. So there should be a balance in parenting while both men and women should play different role and both are equally important.

Apart from that, there has been proven that many problems teenagers that involved in civil and criminal offences are came from single parent family. This show how important to have both male and female in a family. Lack of caring and love from parents will lead to a higher possibility for teenagers to do the wrong things.

As a conclusion, both father and mother play important roles in parenting in order to make their children to be success in their lives.

updating my life

although i am in down mode for these few days, worrying a lot of things(basically what others called sendiri cari lubang and tanam diri sendiri ke dalam). i like to find problems for myself just because i care too much about things happening around me.

i am worrying for a lot of things.i don't know whether i am the one who brings the person up in their faith or pushing them into the fire.

although i received the calling from God to start another journey for Him, but i still cant make it just because i dont want the people from my church to get hurt and dried up after knowing the truth that they are going to face in future.

i am preparing to stop what i am doing now and put more time and effort in my church.i know this is the place that i can grow up spiritually and learn things from it. i know this is the place i start my new life and the place that i feel like home.(thats d reason i never feel homesick when i came to here)/

i will ask them about whether they have the calling from God to be the one who lead the club for next year,if yes, i will stay back and help them to grow up to be the leader leading the direction for next year, or no, i will directly finish all my task and step down become a normal member. i know their is no different between committee member and normal member..because all of us come with a servant heart and serve the same God.

i know this place need revival and yet because of the club, we find new people to join my church.
i know i will not be lonely in this journey of faith, as there are so many people supporting me, helping me, care about me and i can rely on when i am in bad situation.

i am not alone anymore, step out from my comfort zone(stop to be an alonner) try to know how the others go through their lives. if never step on water, we never know that there is life there.
but i know i need to hold the principles tightly.

i know it will be a little late to start all this kind of things..but i know it never be late for me to do great things for Him. as a faithful and humble servant for Him.

preparing to start serving in the church, as i have been joinning this church for such a long time(more than half a year, it should be started few months ago when Alex asked me which area God have ask you to do for this church)but my answer is i still have a lot of things to finish, cf,studies and i am not 100% ready yet.
but now i am ready.

sometime i feel so glad that i am joinning this church as i change from a veli reserved person to slowly become a more outgoing man. although there are still lots of things for me to learn, but i never feel scare as i know my journey will not be alone, He will always there for me. when the time i am in difficulties and down, he will hold me up and give me hope.

try to ask pastor as soon as possible about the 2nd time water baptism. its sound quite weird, but i am planning to do so. WHy?
1 of the reason is i have done my water baptise when i was a 1mth old baby. so it is better for me to do it once for myself as i continue my journey for Him.
apart from that, it is an assurance for me that this time in my acknowledgement, i accept jesus as my savior and renew my faith.

really feel like warmth and touch when i am now more than 1 week cant online at home, my church people let me go to their house to online(although extra people make the line become slower)it so touch when someone pass you the key and let you go to their house. i know it is because of trust- really appreciate this discipleship and friendship built between us.thanks

thanks again for what God have done in my life, touch my heart and i know i should not be receiving all the time and i know its time for me to give things out to others to help others to grow up.
