Victorious Warlords

What a superb weekend it was. Wanna know why? I hope this next blog post will inspire you and fire you up for your life.

Last Saturday, I felt constrain in my spirit as it was transferred to me by God the day before. I was fully pumped up for youth that day knowing I was going to be teaching English class and sharing the Word of God for the Youth Meeting that day. All that was in my thoughts were just to share what I "planned" to share. English classes went on smoothly for both mine and Calvin's class. After that, it was then the big moment, Youth Meeting.

We started off with worship and as usual the youths weren't listening, things were chaotic to say the least, a wrestling match taking place, some lying on the floor, no one seem to be singing except the project team. Praise the Lord for His preservation that I wasn't affected at all that day cause' I was just too focused on what I had to share and preach that day. It then came to the message as Jimmy interpreted for me from English to Chinese. It was the first time I shared with anyone a certain part of 'My Life's Story', and putting into it 'Father God's Love' the youths and even some of the team people were shocked to hear my story/testimony (I think...hahaha). The guy sitting next to me was sighing every now and then throughout the time I was talking. Listen to this.... I found out later on that he was sighing because he couldn't take it anymore and was about to cry (hahahaha....he's the biggest and strongest boy in the youth by the way). The 3 girls sitting right across the circle were also on the verge of breaking down in tears as the Word of God began to penetrate their various barriers.
As I ended my message and was in the midst of finish my sentence "Come now let's break up into gro........", Calvin then stood up and started message number 2. Full of fire and the power of the HOLY SPIRIT!, he shared his guts out. That day in the small groups discussion, 3 girls and 1 guy gave their lives to Jesus. The others that prayed the sinners prayer earlier this year were also affirming their believe in The Savior.

As the 'Good News for Parents' evangelistic outreach is coming to a near, we visited one of the youths family that night and we were welcomed joyfully and supported by them in the things that we were doing for the youths in the area. Up to date, there is still not even a single parent that is not supporting us.

'WORDS OF FAITH'
My dear children, you come from God and belong to God. You have already won a big victory over those false teachers, for the Spirit in you is far stronger than anything in the world.

The Little Darling

Last Thursday at 4.00 pm, I heard a buzz from my MSN and to my surprise it was one of our youths from the Metamorphosis Project. Knowing that she doesn't go online at home and on a weekday at the usual schooling hour, some of us from the project team messaged her through MSN. We figured she had 'ponteng' school and was at a cyber cafe since she normally gets online there. True enough it was as what we thought.

On Friday, the project team and I went to sell burgers as we always do every Friday. We planned to go to SMKC Chong Hwa that day but something in me just felt not right and I told the rest, "I think we should go to Danau Kota School". We continued our burger selling at Chong Hwa till around 12.30 pm and made our way to SMK Danau Kota.

It was a good time talking with some of the youths we had met earlier this year from selling burgers. Their school starts at 2.00 pm on Fridays, so we chatt-ed with them till around that time, one after another we saw them coming to school, some of them being dropped off by their parents and some by cycling to school. But someone was missing from the list as the time closed in to 2.00 pm.

With the help and information from one of the other youth, we found out the location of the missing one. So we went to search for her in the cyber cafes around that area (brings to your memory the parable of the 'Lost Sheep' huh? hahaha). Finally we found her and I was sooooo happy to see her after 3 weeks of her 'MIA' (Missing In Action).
We then took her to a nearby shop to have a drink. I bought her an 'Ice Blended Chocolate Shake' knowing that chocolate is good for people when they are feeling a lil' gloomy. Not knowing the root of why she was acting that way, we just wanted her to know that we cared for and loved her. During our 'yam cha session' we got to meet some of her friends and also saw the people she mixed around with if she was ever at a cyber cafe. Speaking on behalf of the project team, our hearts were filled with compassion. I truly understand now what it meant when the Bible talks about Jesus being filled with compassion. I showed her my hand and asked her to put her hand on mine (a thought from the Holy Spirit). I just obey God and did it at that moment not knowing why because in my own ways, I couldn't even communicate with her because of the language barrier. When her hand was on mine, I just said 2 simple words which were..... You see?.... Her hand was so tiny compared to mine, and I found out the meaning that moment. (Go figure ;P)

It wasn't really a good meet up in terms of what we accomplished, but I learned one of my greatest lessons ever.

That night during Church Prayer a questioned flashed through my mind, "Why are you doing THIS"? (THIS-caring, loving, sacrificing for the youth). "Is it because they are good? or Is it because they are rich? or Is it because they are smart students? or Is it because they are handsome? Is it because they are pretty?"
I thought to myself that night and I knew it was because God loves them. I could feel at that moment, if I love them so much, Jesus not only died for them but He lived 33 years of life on earth just for them. I could not help but to just cry in the presence of the Lord, not just for 'The Little Darling' but for the whole world.

One Hundred: Blessings Overflowing

PRAISE REPORT!!
In the season of hundredfold preachings, I took the Words of God being preached for myself, made it rhema so that I could experience 'God the Provider' yet again.

I was praying to God to give me some money, and more often than not He doesn't drop gold bars from the sky but I got instead an offer to teach at a music center from a friend's friend. I didn't have to find the job neither did I have to go for an interview, but the job was given to me right from the moment I received the call. The job fitted into my busy schedule nicely and it didn't rob me of my full-time serving in ministry. The only details I can give about this job is that time is on my side, money is BIG and opportunity for ministry.

A week ago I then received a love gift of RM100 passed to me after Praise Celebration. God bless you richly whoever you are. Enough 'sed!

Hey all you christian, universe inheriting, children of the Almighty God blog readers, why earn money the hard & stressful way when we can earn it the easy & fun way. Jesus promised us life in all its fullness. So let's tap onto the grace of God grab what belongs to us as our inheritance and let not that little pathetic excuse for an alternative, the devil, rob us of our joy, kill our focus on the vision (The Great Commission) and destroy our destinies anymore.

'WORDS OF FAITH'
The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

One Hundred!

Last Wednesday, after our usual morning prayer & intercession, me & Calvin went for another round of prayer. Before praying, we discussed about some stuff about the evangelistic meetings up ahead. After talking for about 15 minutes, the faith that was built up in us & the atmosphere got us right down to "business".

After praying for awhile, a number came to me... 100.. 100..
Keeping it in my heart and continuing with praying, I knew that God wanted me to say what was a impression into active words. Saying the words " One Hundred, One Hundred!!", I got shocked by a tag from Calvin. That very moment He too got the numbers 100 in His mind.

After praying, we discussed a little while longer and came up with this conclusion...
'If everyone of us just brings one or two friends to the evangelistic meetings every month, there are sure to be 100 souls saved!'
Come on brothers & sisters, let us use the faith that God has given to us and know that truly our God is the Lord of the Harvest.

'WORDS OF FAITH'
You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you. (John 15:16)

Jesus is The Answer

Early this year, God moved our hearts and prompted us to start something called 'The Metamorphosis Project'. We being impacted by the gospel during our secondary school life, took up the call to reach out to the secondary schools in our targeted area.

As we befriended and got to know some students, the compassion of Jesus Christ filled our hearts and drove us to pray, seek and cry out for the salvation of these students.

It was a Friday night after a church prayer meeting that Calvin told us...
"Tomorrow is gonna be an evangelistic meeting".
Having a week of watching revival happen in Lakeland Florida, the presence of God was so thick and you could literally feel revival in the air you breathe.
I was pumped up and so excited for the Youth Meeting the next day.

The regular guys & girls were there (about 7 of them) and we were just so happy to see them again after a long week. The "ice-breaker" & worship were great as it ushered in peace and joy and a foundation for the Word to be delivered. After some testimonies being shared by Calvin & Jimmy, we broke up into groups and flowing with the Holy Spirit, we knew it was time to share our unprepared, unrehearsed GOOD NEWS!
Holy Spirit made himself real to our students. 3 of them accepted Jesus Christ into their lives as their personal Saviour. (1 more not confirmed)

'WORDS OF FAITH'
Galatians 6:9 reads "And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart".
