--- THERE CAN BE MIRACLES ---

i got to blog tis.
i tell u - im SO EXCITED!

i juz experience d miracles of God FIRST HAND.

i was suppose to have dinner wif waichit yesterday. however i felt the prompting of the spirit to go visit my grandfather. now, let me say tt im NOT extremely close to my grandpa. and being the typical teen, who wanna forgo a dinner fellowship wif a youth than go visit an old folk? but i juz sense tt i needed to go. besides, my grandpa have been callin me the past day abt some scriptures of the bible (he's a christian). so i thot, oh well...ill go down and mayb help him out and share more abt Christ.

so i went. and guess wat. to my horror, he was running a high fever and he cant move (coz of a fall a few days ago). he's whole body was shaking and shivering. so i did the neccessary actions - gave him the medicine, bought porridge for him, called the whole family tree and PRAYED. to cut the whole long story short, if not for God's prompting and for my willingness to obey Him, God knows wat will happen to my grandpa. im not sayin i was the saviour. i was the hero. im sayin tt all credit goes to God. i was merely acting on his behalf. i was merely obeying Him.

i read Matthew today. Peter had to forgo his "fisherman" job to follow Jesus in order for Jesus to bless him. Peter has to make a choice - to remain in his "comfort zone", a job tt he knows inside out, or to give up on it and take a step of faith to the unknown. I had a choice too. i could enjoy my dinner fellowship with waichit or spend my time with my grandpa (which in my opinion was more boring than the dinner). however, i realised whenever God's children obey His command and walk in line with Him, a partnership begins and a miracle is seen.

from juz this short visit wif my grandpa, i led my grandma to Christ. i shared Christ wif her and i led her thru the sinner's prayer. she may not b able to attend church, she may not know everything abt the bible. she may not even agree everything to wat the bible says NOW, but i believe, slowly she will. and i know God loves her and God sees her heart. HALLELUJAH! praise the Lord!

juz when i thot its the end, theres more! my mom couldnt feel amazed the whole nite tt if not for God's prompting and my willingness to obey, wat will happen to my grandpa. she kept sayin tt God is good. and it is a miracle by God. i begin to realise and see tt God uses this small incident of my grandpa to create opportunties for me to share Christ. isn't tt wat ive being prayin for? God open the doors for me in my family. God create opportunities for me. another point ive learned - whenever God open doors for us, seize it. dun wait and say, mayb its not time, God im not prepared yet, God im not well equipped...juz GO! "GO and make disciples..." God din say "wait till ur ready than go and make discples", God says "GO".

praise God. i realli wanna thank all you guys for ur concern abt my grandpa. he's ok now. he's at the hospital resting. at least it sets my mind at peace knowing tt he is well taken care at the hospital. nth serious. juz some viral infection. thnks for ur prayers, concern, phone calls and sms-es i realli appreciate it.

lastly, i wanna thnk God for u galvin. thnx for being such an encouragment to my life. it was your blog and your life tt realli spurs me and encouraged me to lead my grandma to Christ. i will nvr forget it. thnx so much brother!

"Credits roll" comments page

Nah... not going to say any "jia you" thingy to Shu feng. This tough girl is doing great! Not flaunting or whatsoever but GEE! Am I proud to in West2~! This cellgroup is made up by a bunch of youths so passionate and hungry for God! I never knew the importance of a cellgroup but now I know! I really appreciate these guys for always being around to motivate and push me forward.

Hey mingZhu. You're a great cell leader. Your passion and desire for God really inspire me in alot of ways! and don't you think that you're a bad speaker of whatever, because you're really good at that! Have confident girl, you can do more than what you think you're only capable of!

Shu Feng! thank you for everything you've done for the cellgroup. Ya know, coming forward to pray for me is one thing but asking God to help you become a better sister? You are a great sister already! I really will LOVE to share more with ya. uh-uh, this isn't one of those shallow moments, i meant what i said! God loves you arty-chick!

HellO Faith~! I'll never forget that night of cell retreat at Jeremy's house. That night of sharing really is still SO COOL! And THANK YOU for the encouragement during my first vocal training. It meant so much to me. Continue to serve the Lord using your gentle yet powerful voice, no matter in intercession of prayer or singing, you're a blessing to the church.

DERRICK CHEW CHANG SHENG! *this is the cool dude who set up this cool blog* HEE. thank you for all you've done in church, in cell group. And thank you for being one of those few whom I know of who would go the extra mile for God. Continue to let God use you in so many ways- no matter music, video, theatrical, evangelism etc. Hang in there dude! I believe God have a wonderful plan for you!

Jeremy, well maybe you won't be able to see this since you're in tekong mission field. :) Don't give up and continue to press in! i'm sure God has a plan for where u are now, including all the things that happened in camp I know its tough but I believe He will make a way. Amen? Hee.

Bro Zi Hao~!! *another arty-crafty fellow* I'm so blessed to be able to share with you. Though occasionally but hey! those short conversations and stuffs are preciously treasured by me! I trust that the Lord has a powerful intricate plan in mind for you. Continue to seek Him and don't give up! Because one day in the house of God is a thousand million times better than a thousand days in the world! And you are priceless, brother, so don't let anything get in your way of shining for God!

Always in Christ,
tia

jiayou shufeng!

juz wanna tell ya tt i know wat ur goin thru shufeng. tt was wat exactly happen to me. being in the "band scene" all my life till sec sch, i came to a crossroad after Os. it was suppose to b bright - fairfield alumn winds, west winds, syo...knew so many ppl then, had many strings tt i could pull. but i decided against it due to some situations. and all of a sudden, im like "cut" out frm the band scene.

i know how it feels. more so for ya, when ur even more into it than me. but i wanna encourage to seek God's will first. "Seek Him first and all His righteouness and all [other things] will be added unto you". im really very encouraged by your love for Him, your sacrifices and your heart cry for our Lord Jesus. know very sure that He has plans for you and His plans are meant to prosper you. continue to walk obediently in Him and see His will revealed to u thru ur life.

just wanna share also abt wat u shared. i can also identify the "pinch from a dream" thing. as you guys know, my calling is really evangelism and pastoral care. moreso for this yr, i see the vision and calling very strongly and evidently in my life. i realli sit up tt day and realised tt there are so many ppl ard me tt are not saved. especially my parents. somehow, i have such a heavy burden for them, esp this yr. and i got to be praying constantly for them. i got to be on my knees, continually interceding on their behalf. i got to be standing in the gap for them. if not, no one will. i juz wanna encourage all of us to continue to be that "salt of the earth and light to the world". let us not let studies, business, stress, struggles, sin hinder us from spreading God's love and proclaiming God's word.

juz a small encounter today. i was goin thru some stuff which DID hinder me from God. and i happen to visit galvin's blog. i read abt his grandmother's death. i read abt him being grateful that his family are saved and different things. i read abt how he spent everyday praying for his family, for his friends. and then i look back at me. i felt so ashamed. i literally cried.

God spoke today. He told me to move on. dun b overwhelmed and stucked with all this small little "elementary teachings" but move on to the advance stuff. dun juz drink milk...advance to chew meat! are we still allowing different things to overwhelm us? are we still allowing our inadequancy to hinder us from evangelising? are we still allowing our low self-esteem, low confidence, introvertness hinder us from spreading God's love. i pray that we will not. i pray tt we move on from all this small little petty situations tt will hinder us from achieving our highest potential, hinder us from allowing God to use us to the maximum and hinder God's purpose of our creation.

jiayou shufeng. we are all here for you.

"hand in hand, we'll run this race - to the very end, that's where we'll go!"
That's Where We'll Go
Galvin Sng.

My Inaugural Contributions

Happy Chinese New Year to all~
No idea how all you others have spent your long weekend. For me, time in Malaysia has been... not too great but ok. I enjoyed the time spent with my maternal family, getting to know my cousins better (8/11 of them are younger than me). What I dislike about the trip? the horrible weather (H.O.T)& I missed everyone back in Singapore so much that I as practically counting the hours before I'm back in town! Hhaha.. Oh well, despite having banned fire crackers & fireworks, the rebelling public managed to get their hands on them. So when the clock striked 12 on new year's day, it was an amazing sight in the sky. My closest encounter with fireworks. Alright, now for a little something out of the CNY thingy.
All should know by now that I've been in Philharmonic Winds for quite a while. Being a reputable band in Singapore, it's like the ultimate band in town that music & band people want to get into. To those who understand that kind of a feeling, trying swallowing this: I'm thinking of leaving.
It's not like anything bad has occured there, but it's more like a conviction for me this year- to spend more time with my family. With my brother leaving Singapore for Perth this July, I see the urgency to empty up time in my weekly 168 hours for my parents. With them not knowing Christ... somehow everything burdened upon my heart. For a musician to leave the "ultimate band", ha..guess any bandsmen will think I'm nuts(At least I'm sure my peers & juniors will think likewise). So all's in a struggle. It's neither flesh VS spirit nor want VS need. It's like... convictions VS time. I belive God placed this (crazy)thought upon my heart for a purpose. With the happenings of the past years clearly in mind, I see that urgency in the end times as such that we're living in. My mother's seemingly falling health, my dad's business matters and high blood pressure.. everything seem so real now. It's as if someone just pinched me awake from a dream.. or should I say nightmare? :)
Well, whatever it is, His promises I shall hold on to forever till I see them come to pass one by one. Eternity VS earth: which is more important? I rather invest in the riches of my eternal life than my numbered passing years on earth. God is good, and He will always be.

Godspeed,
Shufeng

dare's chinese new year...

alrighty...at mz's command.

THY SHALL WRITE.

well...let me give u a brief insight. i used to hate cny. i am never close to my relatives. (or at least most of em). especially for my father's side. coz there are really ALOT of ppl. and i mean ALOT. some of whom, i dun even know em! secondly, they stay very very far frm me. no, not msia. so i hardly really get to meet them. and they all jiang hua yi. i saya tatt tahu. so basically, like wat pca said - i was guilty of just going to collect ang baos, sit in a corner, gorged myself full with the goodies and watch my own tv programme - uninterrupted. but well, occassionally, got some aunties come talk to me, whom these aunts r quite close to my heart.

ok...so i shall get into proper on my main topic.

0902 - weds morning: woke up to a bad start, mom and dad were delaying due to some ang baos problem. beats me. i just watched teeeve. so in the car start to nag and nag and nag. we were late. only grandma left at home. the rest has gone over to my grand-aunt's hse. so nag even more. then dunno wat they started quarreling. i was - no, not again! here? on cny? then very strangely, this uncle, whom i seldom talked to, gave me a buddhist book. =..=""" and he tried "preaching" but failed. then after not long, the second installment came. he played some buddhist chanting video! i was...WORTZ WRONG MAN!!! so as the chanting continued, my speaking of tongues escalated. thnk goodenss we left not long.

in the car, i was like asking God why all this things had to happen. i also msg zhong, kenneth and zeng yu to grumble. i was like super sian diao already. coz the start of the whole cny and these had to happen. but...unknown to me, God has other plans under His sleeves. well see, during reunion dinner, i felt tt God wants me to talk to this cousin of mine - jinghong. but, coz of the awarkness and long-lost connection, i din know wat to say. so i juz continued in my small world watching tv. then only when we leaving, then i know tt he is studying in ngee ann doing IT. then somehow, it all clicked and made sense. God wants me to bridge this long-lost relationship with him. we had a common topic - school. and this time round, distance can nvr b an excuse for me. God wants me to reach out to him!

so when i was at my grand-aunt's hse, i started talkin to him. nothing of God. juz normal, building relationships talk. and boy, has he matured alot. i used to see him as some cry baby or some childish boy. but he has really grown. and i felt closer after tt talk with him. juz when i thot d whole new yr will come to an end when i leave for my mother's side, i was wrong.

now my uncle's (mother's side) family is kinda complicated. i shant elaborate. but they have 3 sons (my cousins). one of whom is same age as me. and i haven seen them for eons. ok, 2 years. and because they stay far too, we hardly meet up. ok, never. (remember i said their family is kinda complicated?) so anyway, i started talking to them again. and as i was talking, the topic went to Christianity. and it was started by mom, can u believe it! she was juz mentioning tt i was doing some show for my church last yr (the "my quest for you" musical), and then my aunt got all so excited. coz she too went to church. and my 2 cousins too. imagine me. i juz sat there in amazement. God is really a God of surprises! so there and then, started to talk to my cousin abt Chrisitianity! he hasnt been realli attending church regularly and i see tt God is using me to encourage him. wow! God nvr fails to amaze me man! and after it all, we felt close once again. we have mended the broken pieces and "we are together again...just praising the Lord..." in fact, their whole family is saved except for their elder son. WOW! praise the Lord! amazing, amazing!

so, i ended the day getting to know 2 of my dearest cousins better. and the best thing is tt we said tt we will make an attempt to build the long-lost relationship and meet up more often! hallelujah! remember the earlier entry abt me saying tt lets spend some time getting to know our family more? i juz felt tt it was frm God. and true enough, it DID happen to my family. i felt tt God is guiding me to the area of my family. coz there are some unresolved issues and things tt i need to clear. and so long tt is clear, they will very quickly come to Him.

this new yr is the best new yr of all my new yrs...

"salt of the earth...light of the world"

It was in the middle of the greatest sermon in history, the Sermon on the Mount, that Jesus said these famous words. He wanted all of His followers to see themselves as salt and light in how they lived out their lives in the world.

Why did Jesus use these two words - "salt" and "light"?

Let's examine the first - "salt".
why salt? why not chilli or pepper or vinegar? what does salt do?
looking across the spans of time and thiking about the primary uses of salt throughout history, the first thing that comes to mind is that salt makes us thirsty. salt does sth else too. it spices things up. we reach for the salt when something tastes bland to enhance the flavour. finally, salt preserves. in ancient times, salt is use to preserve food frm turning bad.

Salt - stimulates thirst, adds excitement to the taste of things and holds back decay.

Don't you see now why Jesus want us to be the "salt of the earth"? When Christians are in tune with the Holy Spirit, and when they live in their world with a sense of purpose, and with peace and joy, this often creates a spiritual thrist in the people around them. likewise, when we live out our life with great faith, we catch ppl off guard. we wake people up and catch their attention. we put some spice into the lives of those around us.

In order for salt to have the GREATEST impact, it must be potent enough to have an effect. and secondly, for any impact to take place, salt has to get close to whatever it's supposed to affect. in short, salt requires potency and proximity. or, to put it in another light, salt requires High Potency (HP) and Close Proximity (CP).

what am i saying? what am i doing? why am i giving a whole anaylsis and definition of the word salt?

In order to influence people, in order to bring people to Christ, in order to see many souls coming back to Jesus, that is what we need - HP and CP. we must have high potency - a strong enough concentration and knowledge of Christ's influence in our lives that His power and presence will be undeniable to others. and we need to have close proximity. we need to get close to people we're hoping to reach in order to allow His power to have its intended effect.

Without one, the formula to reaching out to non-believers fail. Matthew 5:13 - Jesus said that salt that is without savour is worthless. it has lost its power. it won't create thrist and add spice. it can have the closest proximity, it can be poured everywhere, but it lacks potency. Jesus says its useless.

likewise, industrial-strength and highly flavoured salt has great potency. but if it isnt poured onto anything, it is pointless. Becky Pippert wrote this "unless salt gets poured out of the shaker, it remains a mere table ornament". let us ask ourselves - do we want to be just a mere decoration ornament?

i hear you ask about "light".

Light, all of us know, travels. and there is so many biblical verses to support it. Jesus wants us to travel. He wants us to spread His love. In another words, He wants us to have a Clear Communication (CC). For light to have its intended effect, Jesus says in Matthew 5:15-16, it must not be covered up or obscured in any way. and in order for us to be the powerful influence God desires, we must know the gospel message well and be ready to communicate it concisely and clearly.

It'll be then ridiculous for us to acquire great knowledge of the Word and having very close contact with our friends but not opening our mouth to share the Gospel! maybe we'll say "ok...let me work on living a consistent Christian life and also make effort to have a relationship with my friends. but pls dont ask me to say anthing. i'll just live out my faith in front of them and maybe some of it will begin to rub it off". that is wishful thinking. because just as words without actions are futile, actions without words are devoid of meaning and content. now do you see why Jesus emphasized that we need to be both salt and light?

Now what am i saying after it all? im saying that to win souls for Jesus, to impact the world requires this very simple formula, we have just discussed.

High Potency (HP) + Close Proximity (CP) + Clear Communication (CC) = Maximum Impact (MI)

Lets take a look at the benefits, shall we?
Apart from the already known stuff like escaping the prospect of hell and gaining the promise of heaven, we know that life on earth will be filled with adventure, purpose, fulfillment, growth, spiritual confidence, lasting investments and the honour of becoming agents for the God of the universe! God rejoices too! Luke 5:10 tells us that "there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents!" IT's a celestrial celebration! How better could we invest our time and energy than investing it in people, many of whom will thank us for all of eternity in heaven? What other investment will reap so high a reward?

When we become active and strategic in trying to reach people for Christ, we become more contagious in the way we live and express our faith, we find that we benfit, others benefit and even God benfits! Hallelujah!

"You are the salt of the earth and the light of the world".

020205 - "remember your Creator in the days of your youth"

"11:9.Rejoice, O young man, in your youth, and let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth; walk in the ways of your heart, and in the sight of your eyes; but know that for all these God will bring you into judgement. 10.Therefore remove sorrow from your heart, and put away evil from your flesh, for childhood and youth are vanity. 12:1.Remember your Creator in the days of your youth, before the difficult days come, and the years draw near when you say, 'I have no pleasure in them'. 6.Remember your Creator before the silver cord is loosed, or the golden bowl is broken, or the pitcher shattered at the fountain, or the well broken at the wall." Ecclesiastes 11:9-10, 12:1,6

This is the passage that God spoke to me today. noticed how many times the word "youth" appears. it appears for 4 times, and in 3 consecutive verses - 11:9, 10 and the following chapter 12:1. God emphasizes for us to "Remember [our] Creator" (in the days of our youth). Also, the phrase "Remember your Creator" appears 2 times in less than 6 verses apart. This is indeed important. God wants us to make full use of our youth. He gives us several metaphors - (v6.) "before the silver cord is loosed, or the golden bowl is broken, or the pitcher shattered at the fountain, or the well broken at the wall" all these hints to us that we better treasure and make full use of our youth before it is too late.

1 month have passed. it is feb le. what have we done with our lives in the past month? have we tried to achieve what we have set out to do? have we drawn closer and personal to God? i just wanna encourage all of us to take a moment to think abt this. and if we have not been productive for the past month, i pray that we will cry out to God, we will say God, come and help us Lord...use the remaining 11 months to raise me up. Lord, empower me, so that i'll rise up and to be that light for the world.

west2ers, im very happy to see such unity in our cell grp...but we have remained in our comfort-zone for quite some time le. we need to sit up and pray. we need to see new blood entering the cell. we need to see the cell multiply. we need to see many lives coming back to God. we need to see many lost souls found. let us all arise and pray and intercede for our friends, our loved ones and all the unsaved souls. let us run this race together one. let us walk together in one seeing the wall fall and the world conquered for our Lord Jesus Christ!
