Fruit of the Holy Spirit - Long Suffering

Tuesday, September 25th, 2007

Since day 1 where I get to know the Lord, life has not been smooth. Prosecutions, test of faith, threats, challenges, difficult times, crisis, stress etc… At times I would wonder and ask God "Is this long-suffering?" "Why do I have to go through so many hard times?", "When will all these going to end?", "How much more can I hold?"

And Paul wrote this:

EPH 4:1-6

I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

When I read those verses above, I understand why Long-suffering!

He means Business!

We had a great and ministering CG last night. God is indeed GOOD!
There was a strong anointing and presence of God.

During worship, I can feel strongly that God want me to minister to the memberrs instead of preaching the Word. At that insteance, I can feel His power and anointing. I lay hands for every members and they are ministered. There is holy laughter. Few of them really laugh out loud and started rolling on the floor. Some are sitting enjoying the presence of God smilingly, soaking in His tanglible presence. Ther are some who teared too. Even for those who are dry in the spirit and fill with unbelief are ministered. They do not laugh as loud but I could see them smilingly sitting at their place, lifting up their hands. Every member recieved according to the measure of their faith and were ministered differntly. I believe that God is doing His work in everyone of us and want to bring forth change in our relationship with Him to place it in the right order and this is how He started by doing the “cleaning” and releasing in our hearts and mind 1st.

It was indeed a special meeting as God really want us to not take Him for granted but to remember our slavation, our 1st love, our journey through good and bad times with Him so that we will keep on keeping on in our walk with Him and not give up easily.

I thank you Jesus for His love and power to give us the liberty and set many of us free last night from burdens, stress, hurts, disappointment, bitterness etc but to renew us with His peace, love and faith.

As we are set free and released by Him, our spirit is fill with the Spirit of God. I felt that the whole meeting will be complete only when we pray for members who are not in the meeting, who are not doing well and backslided. It was a good prayer meeting . We pray with with faith for revival and all members will come back to the Lord. When we meant business with Him and His people, God will move through us and lead us.

Through last night, I learned that if we meant business with God, we are to be serious and keep our word with Him and to raise up the standards of CG.

Members too will see that cgm is not just another weekly routine but it is God’s buisness, God’s cg and God’s people who come together with the expectation to seek and meet Him.

I pray that everyone of us will not forget the day where we get save and how He has fill us with His breath and love and give us a 2nd chance to live again. That we will all perservere through in our walk with Him and walk from glory to glory and faith to faith. To love God wholeheartedly and His people fervently.

I love you God and You are always the BEST!

A blessing in disguse

The 8.2 quake off Sumatra yesterday had caused tremors at few part of Singapore.
I was at Suntec tower taking my M5 paper when the building started to shake. For that moment, I was thinking will they stop the exam and evacuate the crowd.

Indeed, less than a minute we were evacuated and the exam has to be terminated!

As I only manage to complete half of the revision before attempting for the paper. Due to the evacuation, the paper will be re-schedule to another date. I thank God cos’ I will then be given more time to complete my revision. This is indeed a blessing in disguse for me :)
So this time, I must make sure that I complete all my revision before going for my exam and pass the paper at a go!

SuRpriSe!

I thought that I would have the most lonely and boring birthday this year… no plans arrange with my friends and love ones at all!

I took leave to go for a facial to make myself “mei mei” then meet up with James for lunch to share about CG’s vision and target the next few weeks and months to come. Then went to Espirit to buy birthday gift for myself cos the person buying the gift for me has no time and ask me to go and pick whatever I want… Very “bo sim” lor. In the evening, will be meeting up with Eunice to reach out to her friend. I was thinking.. “Ah… that is how my birthday will be.. doing the work of God and make things happen for CG and lives of the members” Haha..very spiritual ya.. With nothing special , no celebration with friends and love ones, I told myself, it’s ok cos’ its something meaningful and purposeful to do out reach on my birthday since there is no programme for the night and probably God will honor my faith for going that extra mile for Eunice to win her friend for Christ :)
Met Eunice near her work place and we walked over to Clarke Quay. Her friend will be late so we will meet them in the resturant. We went to IndoChine The Forbidden City. It is a very classy resturant with an elegant blend of old world oriental charm.

In my heart I was thinking, indeed this is a very nice dining place but the prices are also very “nice” indeed … It is more suitable for BBG out reach due to its setting and class. Haa,,,

Suddenly, Z and Aaron happen to walk pass our table and I was so shocked. I even extend the invitation for them to join us for the out reach and make Eunice’s friend comfortable. When I turn my head again, I saw Cindy.. haha..then did I realised that it was a pre-arranged surprise birthday! It make me feel very love and I am very thankful for their effort and planning which is “flawless” :)
Best still, Nicey who keep saying that he is very busy with his new project will not have time to celebrate birthday with me, turn up with a birthday cake later. So touch!

Thank you James and Audrey too for their effort and planning though they are not able to join us.

Once again, thanks to Cin, Nicey, Dear, Dar and Hun as well as Sweety Gynnel for making things happen and giving me such a wonderful and happy night. Love you guys and muacks!
