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.

movies.. i watched for this mth

i watched a lot of movie this month

astro boy
planet 51
christmas carol
carriers
twilight-new moon
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?

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.

Daily Grace

Grace is given not because of we have done a good job but in order for us to get it we need to work for it.
Grace continues to allow God’s spirit to transform us.
Grace is needed to remain people in their right way of living their lives.
Grace i　doesnt mean it's a licence to sin but Grace is given so that we might have power and choose not to sin (Grace is empowerment for us to say ‘No’ to sin and not just forgive our sins.)

John 1:17-for the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. (Grace and truth always come together.)

There are 3 Graces taught by Pastor today:

1.Grace for speech
Proverbs 22:11-he who loves a pure heart and whose speech is gracious will have the king for his friend. (Characteristics of a wise king to his friends)
References
Ecclesiastes 10:12- words from a wise man’s mouth are gracious, but a fool is consumed by his own lips.
Proverbs 22:29- do you see a man skilled in his work? He will serve before kings; he will not serve before obscure men.
Proverbs 24:4- through knowledge its rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures. (Wisdom promises to bestow wealth on those who love her.)
Colossians 4:6- let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone. (Christians’ conversation is to be wholesome.)
References
Colossians 3:8-but now you must rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips.
Ephesians 4:29-do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.(Christians are not only stop saying unwholesome things; they also begin to say things that will help build others up.)
1 Corinthians 14:3- but everyone who prophesies speaks to men for their strengthening, encouragement and comfort.

Grace to say “No”
Titus 2:11-14-
11 for the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. (right conduct must be founded on right doctrine. The undeserved love God showed us in Christ while we were still sinners and his enemies and by which we are saved apart from any moral achievements or religious acts on our part. But this same grace instructs us that our salvation should produce good works.)
12 it teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, (the word ‘teaches ‘ includes a process of training a child- instruction, encouragement, correction and discipline)
13 while we wait for the blessed hope-the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ,
14who gave himself for us to redeem from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own eager to do what is good.( salvation involves the double work of redeeming us from guilt and judgment and of producing moral purity and helpful service to others)

Grace to overcome
2 Corinthians 9:8-and God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will be abound in every good work.( through his abounding grace, God can enable each Christians to abound in generous deeds)
References
2 Corinthians 9:11- you will be made rich in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.
2 Corinthians 12:7-10-
7-to keep me from becoming conceited because of these surpassingly great revelations, there was given me a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me.
8- Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me.
9- But he said to me: “my grace is sufficient for you; my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. (Human weakness provides the ideal opportunity for the display of divine power.)
10-that is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. (Classic example of power in weakness is the cross of Christ.)
Reference
Philippians 4:13- I can do everything through him who gives me strength.
Hebrews 4:15-16
15- for we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are-yet was without sin.（Stresses the parallel between Christ’s temptations and ours. He did not have each temptation that we have but experienced the whole range of our temptations. The way in which Christ’s temptations were different from ours was in the results-his temptations never led to sin.）
16- let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. (Because Christ our high priest has experienced human temptation, he stands ready to give immediate and sympathetic help when we are tempted.)

Grace between mountains

Grace between mountains

Story of

1kings 18:-Elijah on Mount Carmel

1kings 19:-Elijah flees to Horeb

-The Lord appears to Elijah

In our lives, there is high peak and low tide. There is no one life can be so calm and peace like a straight line without any curve up and down.

The devil will try to separate us from our spiritual family as it is the best way to make us walk away from God.

All of us need people around us in every phase of our lives. We should let someone to be able to speak into our heart all the time no matter we are ok or in down time.

Especially the time when we are down, we start to self-pity. Although through self-pity, we can feel more comfortable, but it still brings us down. We should look for God for His Grace.

And when we are on the top of the mountain, we should thank God for his Grace pouring down on us.

When we are at the valley, we should hold on and cries out to God. God does not leave us along and He gives us Grace with divine strength and power.

God will give you the grace in doing your works if He had asked you to do so.

2 Corinthians 9:8-and God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.(Through his abounding grace, God can enable each Christian to abound in generous deeds.)>>>v11- you will be made rich in every way so that you can be generous in every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.

2 Corinthians 12:7-9-⁷to keep me from becoming conceited because of these surpassingly great revelations, there was given me a thorn in my flesh (the nature of this affliction is unknown), a messenger of Satan ( a further descriptions of Paul’s thorn), to torment me. >>>V1- I must go on boasting. Although there is nothing to be gained, I will go on to visions and revelations from the Lord.

⁸ three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me.

⁹ but he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you (a better solution than to remove Paul’s thorn. Human weakness provides the ideal opportunity for the display of divine power.), for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.

never,never give up.. agree or disagree?

---

The expression "Never, never give up" means to keep trying and never stop working on your goals.



It takes me a few days to think about this topic. At first I am same like others totally agree with this statement but after I think and find some resources about it, I agree with this statement to a certain extent.

Why should this be? First of all, we should refer to the dictionary about the meaning of give up. Give up means stop trying to do something and stop hoping or believing that somebody will change or get better. Yes, we should keep on trying and trying doing something. But the question is: Are you putting all your effort in doing the things before you get failure?

I will separate my essay into a few parts that represent parts in a student life. First of all, Study. A lot of people will always said don’t lose hope and never give up after someone not doing well in their study. But does the person taking their responsibilities to study well? And yet after failure, does the person release where the problems are? Is the person work harder and have more initiative to do well in the next exam?
I realize that a lot people among us study just to pass the exam and not to gain knowledge to be apply in our daily life. And yet some of us are studying for their parents’ wants and not their own interest. As times goes, these person will easy dried up to continue to do well. So as a student, we should find out what are our interest and our aim. Set an aim and goal in our life, always prepare our heart and soul in the best condition to do well in our life with a strength that to be success in once and not twice or even more trying.

Secondly, I will touch on the issue about family relationship. Some of us may have these problems as when I talk to others 1 to 1, I realize that they can relate well with friends than the family. I think many of us when face with this matter, will try to avoid it and blame our parents not modems enough, not tolerate or don’t understand us.etc. But are we doing hard and find ways to improve it? Yes it is hard for our old parents to adopt changes in this world but are we going to tolerate and make a change in their mindset? So think about it whether you agree with my statement or not. We like to blame others instead of ourselves. And most of the time the problems from ourselves and we do not realize it. And keep on blaming others. For some of us, they never give up in blaming others but they give up building their relationship with their parents.

Thirdly, I will touch on the relationship between male and female. I always heard that their heart broken because of break up in their relationship. And they start blaming their partners. For me, I think if there is break up in relationship, both parties do have mistake no matter in what situation. And sometime some of us just take relationship simply, like love at first sight (for me= love is blind.) and some of us working so hard for it. Yes, everyone human is made by God with a heart that is thirsty for love. Do you realize that a lot of us just do the silly things although we realize that it is wrong? Is this considering a good example of not give up? For me relationship is a blessing from God, He will arrange the one for us and not ourselves end up with Mr. /Mrs. Wrong. Like in Chinese quote, it is better for us not to give up the forest just because of that small flower. Sometime, we should learn to let go when break up.

Finally, I think most of us have lots of big dreams in our childhood memory. But when we grow up a lot of our dreams seen to be not real and disappear from our memory. We give up of them already. Do you know that everyone is created just because of a dream? To live with a life with lots of dreams? I felt like burnt up and feel like tired with my life for this past 18 years. Doing things for others and not for myself. When it comes to an end, it’s not me, I like losing my identity and personality. But I take my step to join the Dreams Reloaded camp that I really touch and my broken heart was healed. I am like recharging myself and start doing things from my heart for others and realize that I have so many big dreams that I need to work hard on them. Life is not flat and peace all the time; it will be a boring life like that. So we should live our life to the maximum and make life count (campus friend’s slogan). It is good for man like us not to give up easily and sometime if the things are not made for us, we should learnt to let go.

yes..if u asked me whether i will go for movie half a year ago b4 i came to kdu, i will say no.. but now i know i should go..if i never step out from d comfort zone, i never know d world outside. i cant make any changes in others' life.

RICH GOD, POOR GOD

Poor God mentality

1 genie mentality-this kind of person basically are people that always ask for return after doing something..
2 buffet mentality-this kind of person basically are greedy person that want to get all at one time
3 pie mentality-this kind of person basically are more calculative and jealous about what others have

So, all of them are consider poor God mentality as it shows the resources are limited.

PROVERBS 22:2
Rich and poor have this in common, the LORD is the MAKER of them all.(that means God created the rich and the poor in HIS image.so no need to jealous about what others have as we are all created in GOD;s image.)

RICH GOD MENTALITY
STORY OF THE PARABLE OF THE LOST SON
LUKE 15:11-32


PROVERBS 10:22
The blessing of the Lords brings wealth and He adds no trouble to it( therefore wealth is a gift from GOD and not a product of human attainment)

JOHN10:10
I have come that they may have life and have it to the full.( Christ's interest is in his sheep, whom he enables them have life to the full)

1 TIMOTHY 6:17
Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain,but to put their hope in God,who richly provide us with everything for our enjoyment.( our God are always there for us to trust Him and ask for His wisdom.)

As a christian when come to believing God,
we should [ CHOOSE THE RELATIONSHIP AND NOT THE RESOURCES] FROM GOD

[GOD LOVES SO HE GAVE, WE BELIEVE SO WE RECEIVE]


so, basically this is what i learnt from 2day the service.it will getting more interesting in the coming week with the topic

arranged marriage vs love marriage

In some countries, marriages are arranged by the parents but in other cases, people choose their own marriage partner.

Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

When this topic arises, a lot of questions arise in my mind. If I am the one who is now going to decide which type of marriage that I am going to choose, I really can’t answer it as there are too many areas to be discussed. So I just choose to discuss some areas of it.
So the best way to start discussing this topic is to know what are the meaning of arrange marriage and choosing their own marriage partner.
What is mean by arranged marriage? Arrange marriage (also known as pragmatic marriage) is a marriage that basically arrange by the parents of the groom or bride in the selection of their future spouses. However, both sides of the parents are given full consent in the marriage. This kind of marriage started since the moment people know about the marriage. It has been still exist in some country, especially poor countries like India, China, North Korea and so on. Some of these parents, they use marriage to improve their family condition and status. What does this mean? This means that the family will choose to “sell “their daughter to the rich man as the 2nd or 3rd wife. This seen to be totally immoral and inhumanities. The children have no right to choose their future soul mates. So basically in this situation, there is no such thing called ‘love’ between them. Will this kind of marriage last longer? It depends. If both sides can tolerate with each other, the marriage will last.
Arrange marriage seen to be inhumanities when the marriage is not arrange by the lovers themselves. However, it comes with a good aim when the children reach a certain age and don’t have their lovers, the parents will start worried. The chances of getting married decreases as the age increase. So the parents will start to help their children to find the suitable one. They will arrange lunch, activities for the children to know each other better and to see whether they have feeling towards each other or not. Sometime this kind of marriage works as their children are shy person or don’t have experience in love before. I believe that the parents will pick and choose carefully to find the best one for their children.
Nowadays, the people seem to like freedom so much and they wish to decide everything by themselves including their marriage. They want to choose their life partner by their own. It sounds great as they have the right to choose. They have some sort of love feeling towards each other and they prepare to get into marriage. However, this doesn’t ensure 100%successful marriage. Some of them may end up their marriage a few years after they have discovered that they are not made for each other. Sometime love is blind. The people in love will find everything fine and good in their partners. But sometime the people from the other view can see more clearly and sometime the people can find the problems between the loves. Therefore love is a hard and tough issue and can’t explain in any means.
Some of the people they don’t even know what are love in their whole life. Just before they died, they find out that the marriage is just a responsibility to honor their parents and continue the generation and not love. This exist not only in arrange marriage but also the lovers who choose their own partners. Some of the lovers choose their partners not because of love but a person that they can rely on for the whole life and that’s it.

As a conclusion, marriage is the blessing from God and the marriage should build with a strong foundation of truly trust between the couple. And the marriage is the whole life learning process from life partner. So no matter which type of marriage you want to choose, I just want to bless that it will end up with a fruitful way.

sorry for being long time not updating my blog..no worry eveyone everything going ok. and yet i need to say sorry again as i will not be updating this blog for d coming october as i need to study for my AS exam..so do bless me and i will b back soon after the exam.

start holiday....liao...hurray

its a good time for me to totally rest my mind..although it jz one week short break ..but it is better than no holiday..all of my coursemates go back to their hometown and what i am going to do? do someone have any plans for me?(ya, my lecturers have plans for me--that are lots of homework...)


2day watched d the proposal, it was totally a great movie as it reflect our lives..its jz funny and interesting...if u havent watch it jz go and watch it and u will really enjoy it..

2night we went to hv a surprise birthday celebration for vicky..and yet this made me felt like i am really old..18 n half years old...omg....and yet i am here 4 4 n half mths without going back to my hometown..i still alive although there are many life challenges that i faced for d past 4 n half mths...hahaha

i felt i am old already

sometime i cannot accept what my coursemates thinking mind.. and i think the gap between them and me getting bigger and bigger like we are in the different century.. i think i dun hv that kind of easy going and excited and energetic heart anymore.. and i dun like them have nothing to worry about their life...i need to worry from time to time in every aspects.. and yet i think i am not young already need to think about the future and not only thinking of what is going on today....

and sometime i really thought that coursemate cannot become best frens as we r always in competition and sometime we like to keep some secret behind us..or sometimes i really kena shoot by arrow from behind and i didnt recognised it..when i discovered it, it already too late and sometimes cant believe that it was done by the person that i thought was my best frens...quite sad and hurt..

if d friendship cannot go further or improve anymore, i think it is better for us to go back to d starting point and jz b normal friends instead of hurting each others ...
