.: Lessons from SESAME STREET :.
Maybe it is re living my childhood days, but as I got up this morning and switched on the TV, nothing much attracted me other then SESAME STREET show. It seems boring initially, but since there is not better show, I just kept it at that channel and had my breakfast.
Interestingly they showed 4 different scenes which the message behind I felt was so relevant to the spiritual family as well as the 100k blessing.
The first one was teaching the children how to read the word FUN! Initially I thought oh.. just a simple word, but as it went along, I heard God asking me for this 100k, has it been fun for me? Woh God.. you like that also can! Haha..
My answer to that is off course YES! It was not only fun, but it has been an exciting journey for me!
The next scene was asking Big Bird to find Ernie. Then they went into this game where Big bird is suppose to find from a set of 4 pictures which picture is not the same as the rest in order to find Ernie hiding in that. It was an interesting scene but what I caught out of it was God showing me that in my 100k Blessing, there are still many out there waiting for us to find them to bless them, especially those who feel out of place, those who are different from others. Have I blessed them?
Seriously to this Question, I do not really know how to answer, as I feel there is still some part of me where I choose the people I want to bless even when I walk the streets, there are those that I know I wont approach. However it is mentioned in the bible, Jesus went to everyone, the sick, the poor and dirty and just bless them. I want to grow to be like Jesus, even in this area of blessing through this 100K.
The third scene was when Ernie and Bert was about to fall asleep and then Ernie tried to disturbe Bert from sleeping and ask him if he have thought about what are the things he love? Well immediately I thought, woh that's an interesting question.
Have we thought about what are the things we love?
They brought up many things they individually love, some both love them, some only one loves a certain thing, however at the end, they keep closing it with they still love each other most!
Isnt that exact the love of God over us? I mean even through this 100K, some might be able to bless many people, some a little, some face rejection, some went out of confort zone, some have a bigger heart to love the people, some still struggling to really love even their own parents. Well it does not matter, we all go through differently, but the ONE thing we need to know is that GOD STILL LOVE US, no matter what!
The last scene was something which I felt really good. The statement was " In no matter what situation, as long as you are willing to practice and put in the hard work, you will be able to succeed in doing it" The scene was showing some little kids who want to learn how to dance on silts and she mentioned at the end after much practice, and hard work, she manage to get it and to be able to join the performing group.
This is exactly so true for the 100K blessing. The more you practice doing and taking the step to move out, trying and not giving up after many set backs or rejection, you will see how the Lord can bless you back in return as you have bless others and how much you will grow through this journey!
Indeed I have seen this personally for my journey through this 100k and let it not just be my story, let it also be your own story!
My Questions for you:
1. Has the 100k blessing been a FUN one for you?
2. Have we missed out those who are different or seems to be difficult for us to bless?
3. Have we been tired out through failed attemps and rejection. Know that GOD LOVES YOU!
4. Are we puting in the practice and the hard work, or just choosing the easy way out?

.: Week 2 Day 6: God Hears your Prayers if only you asked! :.
It was a wonderful movie outing with my students yesterday! We watched Harry Potter and it was not bad after all!
Some of those who came for the movie, I have already blessed in school before and that was how I got to know them and invited them down. It also allowed me to realised if it is possible, we should not just bless our friends with the 100k and thats all, but should still keep in touch with them, follow up with them. And me inviting them down for the movie is one way where I can interact with them more and maybe show them the spiritual family!
The greatest thing which happen today was I lead this girl, Yu ting, to the Lord! My first 100k blessing which I shared and lead someone to receive Christ! Amen! I know it was not by chance and it was not coz I was very good in talking. But even as I share, I knew God was all the while among us and guiding me through. Even as I started to share and had the prompting from the Lord, I did not hesistate and went ahead.
Why I say God hears your prayers if only you asked? The very reason coz I asked God to use me to share and lead someone to the Lord. It was during cell yesterday where we gathered to pray and I knew I wanted to challenge myself to something beyond myself, which is to be leading someone to Christ, by just using my 100k blessing card. I asked God for the opportunity and for the boldness and courage. I never expected just the following day, He will use me in such a way! Amazing! This has indeed been another step into my faith journey for this 100k blessing season, first to bless my family, then to share the 100k blessing at the very compund of the school, then to bless my collegues at my workplace, following that to hit the streets and bless strangers, and to knock on doors in Hall to bless the roommates, and finally to lead someone to know the Lord!
Furthermore you will never know how your small gasture of blessing someone with that 100k blessing or even just blessing in your own little way, will go a long way. I was just updating my blog link of some of my students and even as I drop by their blogs to peep, I realised many wrote about the blessing I did with them and really appreciate that I blessed them and some even indicated that have been praying the prayer daily! Woh.. isnt our God an amazing God?
I remembered hearing this from Ps YC in our first prayer meet, after this whole campaign, the person who is most blessed will be you. I can truely agree to this statement for I felt so blessed on my last day of school, with collegues just filling my table with gifts and cards, students blogging their appreciation, even the naughtiest one! All I did was to bless my collegues in the staff room with s simple red pen each and students with lollipops. Never did I expect anything in return!
Have I been changed through this 100k Blessings? Indeed I haved, I have changed to see more the needs of others, to be more sensitive to the prompting of God, to really be of a greater blessing to others! I admit, I can be rather selfish in the past, but through this, God has definitely changed my heart! Praise God!
Question:
Have you changed through this 100k Blessing? Have you prayed enough with a heart just to please the Lord?

.: Week 2 Day 4: The Harvest is out there! :.
Today I went back to the land which I was birth from, the very place where I came to know the Lord, beacuse of a group of people who went out and share the gospel, people who went out and take their time to love the people and pray for the people in this land! I am really so glad I took the time off to come down to once again bless this land, as indeed this is a land where the harvest is out there, if only the labourers are willing to come and reap the harvest!
I went not knowing what to expect, but just be ready to be used by God to bless the people. We gathered at the usual prayer location and committed to the Lord what we are about to do. This time round, we got packet drinks as well as biscate to bless the people instead of apples! After a time of prayer, the warriors were sent out 2 by 2 to the place where God placed upon our hearts to bless. For me, I went along with Junhao back to Raffles Hall. Initially I thought there will be many people whom we can bless, however as we reach the place, the common areas are rather empty. This hence brought us to venture and knock on doors of the respective rooms. This is definitely something I have not done before and something I am rather afraid of. However with God assuring me and giving me the boldness, I went ahead. Junhao started with the first guy he met walking back to his room.. and from then on, at every door we went, every one of them received our blessings generously and even invited us into their rooms. Most of the people staying there are PRC SM2 students coming into NUS this year and they are really so open to receive the blessings of prayers and some even asked how is the posture they need to be in to receive the prayer blessing! Amazing..... I was also challenged to share with them in chinese in my not so good chinese and thankfully they understand! We only ventured about 5 rooms and we already blessed 7 people and used up all our blessing gifts!
God is really good when you just trust in Him and move in the Spirit! We gathered back for processing and the
one thing new which I did was to go door to door to knock and bless. My learning journey was that indeed
God opened up my eyes to see that the harvest out there is just waiting to be reap, we just need to be willing harvesters to be used by the Lord!Are you ready to go and reap that harvest that the Lord has prepared for you?

.: Week 2 Day 3: Looking out for open doors! :.
The picture above is one of my Freshmen in the past that I got to know from the very first Engin camp that I joined as a councillor! Haha.. yeh it has been some time since I last met up with her, or even the entire group, which is still very close together. And guess what! They have all already just graduated from NUS! Time flies right!
We had lots to catch up on especially since it has been a long time we got to seat down to talk. Updated each other on our lives as of yet and well she was very open to receive my blessings! She even indicated she might be free to come down this sun for service! Yeh .. lets keep praying and believing she will come!
This cute girl from my school was also one of my 100k Blessing today. Was waiting to meet up with my friend, Jia min, and hence walking around Tampinese Mall. Then all of a sudden she came up to me and said hi.. Was glad to see her and she was with her friend from Nee Ann Sec. Chatted with them for a while, and then we parted. as I walked away and they made thier payment at the counter, I just felt maybe I can just take out my 100k Blessing card to bless them.
"What are you waiting for" I heard a voice telling me...
Hence I ran after them and stopped them, took out the 100k blessing and started to share with them. Then I came to find out my cute student's friend is actually already a christian who attends New Creation. Praise God! So this made things easier and although my cute student initially keep telling me, she buddist lah, and no need for the prayer, but after explaining to her it is nothing more then just wanting to bless her, she received the prayer, together with her friends. All these happen in the middle of a walkway along the side and the two girls were very cute, kept giggling and laughing non stop! Haha...
My final blessing for the day ended off with my collegue! This one is the most amazing and exciting one! Actually just today before I left school, I did not arrange any meet up with her. Then I just suddenly remembered I could ask her out for dinner since today I dont have any arrangement as of yet. It might be a bit last min, but no harm just asking and see how. When I posted the question to her, she readily agreed. I was shocked! Maybe sometime last week we already said to meet to eat before I leave, hence guess it also happen she was free. Everything just fell in place so timely! Must have been God's plan...
As guess what was the first thing after we set down got our food for dinner.
" Ah Ju Lee, you know normally how much does a bible cost?"
I was stun and amazed at the open door God gave for me to talk further on this. I did not even have to start talking on anything close to this, she had already opened the conversation with the bible! To cut things short, another collegue of mine actually gave her a bible and she was super stun upon receiving it. She actually had a good enough chat with him on many issues and questions which common peoepl searching for God would have. It ended well that chat as she managed to find out more as that collegue of mine with shared with her actually have been researching much on the word of God. The next thing I knew also she actually did say the sinners prayer on her own some time ago. I last remmebered sharing with her my faith and she was still hesistant on doing that, and I remembered I told myself I need to keep her in prayer. So guess what she really did receive on her own at the end! Praise God! She also had friends who are christains and had been sharing much with her all these while. Hence throughout the entire dinner, most of our conversation was sharing and trying to answer some of her challenging questions about God and christainity! Phew.. felt God was there guiding me with his wisdom.. as some of the questions not easy to answer! Haha..
At the end of everything, she readily receive my prayer blessing and for the first time through all my 100k blessing contact, she was one whom I prayed the longest for and she say it is ok, as she dont mind! Haha.. Woh! When God moves.. nothing can stop!
Learning point
I actually had MC for today, and I could have not gone to school. My voice was still not there,speaking was still a problem, with my hasky voice, but I just felt I cant miss out on the people whom I can bless and just went ahead. Many of my collegues asked me how come I so funny have MC then still come.. well told them my days are numbered there (seriously they are in that school).
Indeed I did not see that open door what the Lord gave upon me, I might have just miss the opportunity today to bless these 4 people! Lets be sensitive to what God has for us and make full use of each day that is given to us that blessing will become part of our lifestyle!
So far I guess I have spent about close to $200 on buying things to bless the staff room and students in my school.. Yup thats a bit of money, but if it does plant a seed in their hearts, it is all worth it! Am sure God will move even as I continue to pray and make my last 3 days in school a really meaningful one!

.: Week 2 Day 1: Moving out of confort Zone :.
The choir babes
One thing which I know I am always afraid to do is to just approach people in the streets and ask them for the 100k Blessing. I knew this would be something that I would like to challenge myself to do even in this season.
After service, after dinner today, my initial intention was to go and do a bit of shopping for shoes, as my shoes is spoiling soon. As I walk around the malls in Tampinese, all of a sudden I just felt I should do my 100k blessing. My granddaughter Wai yin was with me. As I mentioned to her about just asking people and blessing them, she was all supportive and encouraged me. She also said we wont leave this place till we managed to bless at least one person. Hence I was encouraged and motivated to go out.
With fear still in me, I took on my first blesser. However as I shared my opening line and carried on from there till the which blessing you need, she then rejected me and say it is ok. First try, and failed. Sad! Ok never mind, each time I do it I will get better. Hence we moved on, and then I approach this student. She dont seem keen and with her friends coming back to her, she just said she is not interested. Ok.. now second try and failed again! Sad! We moved on.. saw this young guy (although initially my target was only ladies) I thought not bad, like can, so I approach him. Guess what.. he is already a christian. So yah said it is ok and we moved on. After 3 tries, I felt, maybe should just go home and rest, tomorrow still can bless people.
However I just do not believe God gave me this prompting to bless the people around and yet I did not get to bless any. Cant be! So I pressed on, told Wai yin, we will try the next level. We then saw this lady who was watching over her son in those toy moving machine. Hence Wai yin was telling me to approach her. I hesistated initially but took up the courage and went ahead. Guess what.. YES and she received my blessing, although she kept saying she buddist one, but she just listened to me and also gave me her contact. I did a very quick prayer for her, and she was like on like that also can! Haha.. Praise God! I did approach another lady after that but was rejected as well.
Anyway I left the mall with one blessing! The moral of it all is.. we need to press on inspite of the many failed tries we experienced before. Hence I want to encourage all that even if you have been rejected by your friends, press on, and just keep praying for God will open up opportunities!

.: Day 5 -7: Looking out at the multitudes :.
God has really been good so far for this 100k blessing. Even at school on friday, I was seeking the Lord on who I should bless. I gathered some students, with the help of those who are already in our church, to help me out in attaching a note onto lollipops which I am intending to give to the students before I leave. Really appreciate their help as I had about 350 lollipops and if I were to do it on my own, I wont have be able to finish.
This opened up opportunites for Shujun to bless one two of her friends, as I guided her through and I think Guo qiang to bless his friend as well, who later helped me much in both making and eating the lollipops as well! Haha...
As for me, by then, most of the teachers and students were out from school already, since there was some MOE excel fest that day for teachers and students have no CCA. However there was this two girls who were seating near the study corner, doing their work. I had to pass them many times to go in and out of the staff room to get the notes and lollipops for the others who were making for me. Hence each time I pass them I just tried to talk a little to them, and I was also curious why they stayed back in school to do thier work when everyone left. After that I just felt I should approach them and bless them with my 100k blessing card. I seriously never shared so openly before in school environment to students, and I also do not really know these 2 girls very well. Hence initially I was a bit hesistant if I should do it, since it was still in school.
However I remembered upon what Ps Ed mentioned
You want to see what you have not seen, you need to do what you have not done.Hence I just went ahead, anyway my days in the school are numbered. And guess what, the two girls initially was a bit suprised, as I bless them with the lollipops which had the note attached already to them. As I shared with them the blessings, they were open to receive and it also lead to more questions asked like how is church service conducted, which service you went to, where is your church located and what time is your service. I also got to introduce to them Wai yin and Shujun and told them they are also from our church. They seem rather keen to come church, hence I will follow up with them and maybe get them down this saturday for a movie for a start.. Haha... Be praying for them!
Went with my G12 that night as well to do street E, but due to my losing voice, I just went along with Kelly and we managed to bless this China girl who rejected our offering of the apple pie but received our blessings at least! Haha...
Lost my voice on Saturday and felt it is the plan of the Evil one as I had plan in advance to meet and bless 3 different group of people that day. And here I am, cant even talk, then how to bless? Yeh realised worst thing to take away from me is my voice, but I did not want to let this stop me from blessing! So I only had to cancel meeting up with my ex student and took that time to go home for a rest. Yes and managed to bless one friend of mine which I got to know through the gaming session at Crush. Gave the opportunity to one of my spiritual daughters to bless.
At night still went ahead to meet my JC class mates although all 4 of them rejected the blessings when Dunlin help to speak on my behalf! Haha.. Guess my JC mates felt the entire meet up was more quiet since normally I am in the one talking more, and now I cant.. haha.. but it was a good get together. It opened up a door I believe as my friends hear that there are all together now 4 people from my ex JC class who are now in FCBC and in our cluster as well. Isnt that amazing! They are shock to actually hear that and was curious to find out how come. Hence got to share a bit, with dunlin being my amplifier! Haha..
More testimony to come as we journey through the next week of the 100k! Me blogged @ | 10:37 PM
.: Day 4: Blessing right before you! :.
Do you think we look alike? Well many say so but me and my sister we always deny! Well we share this love - hate relationship which many might not understand! Haha.. anyway it has been 4 happy days without my parents around and me and my sister are just starting to enjoy it... minus away the washing of clothes, clearing the rubbish, topping up the water, keeping the other small details in place, which are all normally done by my parents! Yeh you can say, it is only when they are not around till you understand their importance!
Anyway the past few days of being sick definitely had taken away much talk time between me and my sister. One thing which she did and helped me much was to moniter the washing machine and hanging up all the clothes yesterday. Thanks so much my dear sister! All I did was put the clothes in and soon after went to sleep. (Being sick definitely had the privillage.. woops)
Why did I highlighted her in my post today. The very reason because she was the person I blessed today. For my whole day, what I did at home was mainly sleep, if not I would be spending time praying and reading. I was also asking God, how can I go and bless someone today, with the fact that I am not going out only till at night. When night came, and I was out, I was still looking around asking God who is the one He wanted me to bless. Frankly speaking, blessing my sister never came to my mind at all, even when Michelle asked me during dinner, have I blessed her yet. I just told her, well she is a hard nut to crack, so will do it later.
However as I went and heard what Sebest shared about his 100k blessing that day, as as we sang the simple worship song, my heart was blessed and knew that as I journey back, God will give me the person to bless for today. Initially I wanted to buy Mr Bean soyamilk for myself to drink, but then also not sure why, I just bought the value pack and it comes with the red bean pancake as well. I did not drink the soyamilk and decided maybe can just bring it home for my sister.
Anyway to cut the long story short, I came home, had a great talk and laugh with my sister. Guess she did not get to talk to me for a few days since I was sick. After that I pop out the 100K blessing card and bless her. Although she was not very in favour of it, she still fill and and managed to pray for her.
Indeed she is a hard nut to crack, but I believe that in this season God will change her!
One thing for sure, the entire day I was hoping and praying I can bless someone, looking out for pepole, but the blessing is right before me, which is my sister at home. Dont get so caught up at times with finding who to bless, maybe you have not looked at the people infront of you, for they might be the one that God will bring for you to bless today!

.: Day 3: Blessing out of the fever! :.
After battleing with the on going fever, waking up in the middle of the night to sponge myself, I woke up feeling much better the next day. Thanks to all my prayer warriors and God who made me better in such a stort time! Made a trip to the polyclinic at Marine Parade and the entire waiting process took me 3h! Never waited so long before. Something caught my eyes as I went about the long waiting process. In the picture above, the papers with the room number, if you piece them together, they do appear to become a cross. It did not seem so ordinary to me then as I looked at it, and God was telling me, to look at my surroundings, to see the lives out there, that each and everyone of them who enters into the room to seek the Doctors consultation, indeed is walking to the cross and needs to come to know of His great love and healing grace for them! Woh! I then prayed and ask God to give me the courage and opportunity to be able to speak to some old person, and to bless them. With the fever coming back and taking away my senses, and as I approach the final stop of making my payment and getting my medication, I thought maybe I would just give it a miss to bless someone this time. However this old ah ma came sitting besides me and after a while, she looked at me and smiled. Then with that, it started off our mini conversation, and to my suprised, she spoke the dialect, teo chew which I know. Hence with my limited vocab in teo chew, I just chatted with her. Although there was no clear blessing I did, but before she left, she patted on my back and we told each other to take care! At least I took up the courage to talk to someone, and also God indeed brought this old ah ma to me I felt. Although the fever came back in the afternoon, I am determined that by night I will be much better, hence I arranged to meet up with an ex collegue of mine (He is going into NUS soon) for dinner. Thankfully I was well enough to go and meet him and I suggested a coffee shop near my place for dinner, and he readily agreed to come. Had a great time catching up with him, sharing with him handles for NUS life, telling him about situation in school. But end up, he was faster then me at the bill.. haha so no chance to bless him. However I then took out the 100k blessing card and he readily receive my prayers for him in the areas he indicated. Furthermore he walked me back right to my door step! So nice of him to do that! Following that he also smsed me and told me he enjoyed himself and thank me for bringing him to eat such good food as well as for my prayer blessing! Yes! One live touched, one live blessed! One thing that I learnt is that even in the mist of being sick, body weak and literately brain burning, as long as you have the heart to bless, God will give you the opportunity and the strength. It is also a time where God allowed me to really just place all my trust in Him, especially in healing me from my fever and allowing me to recover faster then normal! Thats the power of PRAYERS! Lets pray such prayers upon our friends as we bless them and believe we are offering ANSWERED PRAYERS!

.: Day 2: 100k Blessing :.
Woke up with a very bad sore throat. Still thinking if I should go to school. Just went ahead as I wanted to be a blessing to someone today! I did bless my colleagues although I did not use the 100k blessing card today.
Knew that we were suppose to have our Special committee meeting that morning, and also since it will be the last time I will be seeing them before I leave the school, I went along Tampines and bought curry puffs and somosa, wanting to bless them for breakfast as we had our meeting later! The act was greatly appreciated and YES, started off my day will a simple blessing!
Following that my throat started to get worse and it accumulated to become a fever. Entire body was aching and was challenging myself if I should just hang in there as later that evening, I am meeting Lay Peng and friends to bless them. I hang in there but ended up, I knew I needed to rest. Hence before that, I took the packet of biscuit on my desk, wrote a small note, and left it on another colleague table, a blessing from me before I ask her out for dinner the following week!
Although it was a challenging day for me, with the sudden high fever, I knew that those small blessings which I did would go a long way! Haha so do stock up some food in your bag or table such that you can use it to bless others when needed! Haha...

The 100k Challenge was exhilarating for me! Through the Ed Silvoso conference as well as the sessions we had with Eejay daddy, I became more confident to go out to my marketplace to bless people. Till date, 2 days have passed and I'd really like to thank God for using me and empowering me with His Spirit.
Friend #01
Who?
My 'ah beng' classmate.
Why?
I thought its a greaaaaat opportunity to ask him if he's part of the 100k since he's alone and not with his 'ah beng' friends. O=
When?
Physics lessons (we sit together during that lesson).
How?
Asked him if he wanted free blessings. He said okay and he even accepted my prayer!
Friend #02
Who?
My friend of 4 (and counting) years!
Why?
I met her after school to chat and catch up.
When?
Refer to Why.
How?
Just asked her if i could pray a prayer of blessing for her and she agreed! It was unexpected as she was a Muslim sooo, thank God! (=
Friend #03
Who?
My younger brother!
Why?
It was a "hey-i-can-also-bless-my-brother!" feeling.
When?
I interrupted him when he was engrossed in some game on his PSP.
How?
I went like, "Aye, do you want free blessings?" and he accepted my prayer. -super wide smile
And maaaaaany more people to come! (:
The 100k Challenge will be a breeze when God is with you!
Got rejected? Don't worry, cast it upon the Lord as all the glory and rejections goes to Him!
Dear lovelies: I know y'all can do it. Of course, God knows it too! :D
xoxo

.: Day 1 of my 100k blessing! 3 lives blessed! :.
I took off this morning with really a lazy start, since I did not have a good sleep the night before and was waken earlier this morning since my parents had to leave house to catch their flight early in the morning. Head was pain, eyes were sleepy, very much wanted to just call up school and report sick! (Woops.. the other side of me) However I heard God's voice telling me, church starts on monday and there is someone I will be blessing today. With that I took on with a new spirit and went ahead that morning with praises on my lips and prayer from my mouth.So much work was given to me when I step into the Staff room and before I can settle them, I had to go for flag raising. The busy morning took a turn when I saw this student taking a stalk of flowers, and she approach me to ask me if I wanted to buy one to help the cancer foundation. I hesistated initially since it was so small and it cost $2. Ended up I decided to buy and be a blessing to her. This started of my day of blessing with me helping out my collegues babysit classes and taking the classes height and weight. If I have the opportunity in the pass, I would not have readily volenteered myself. I also had a request by a collegue the day before to help him with some course that afternoon till 5pm. Hence I agreed to help, although part of me initially was unwilling. I had already a so called "test" run with my dad yesterday w henhe came into my room, seat down to talk to me, telling me to take care of myself and my sister when he and my mother is away. Guess it was also coz he was in a good mood, hence I just took on the opportunity and told him God can answer prayers and what kind of blessing does he need, while taking out the 100k pamplet. Then as he look at it, rather seriously, he mentioned off course health and looking again say also on friendship and relationship. Well normally my dad wont be so nice to entertain me on such matters, but that night, he just seat there, listening to me, reading with me the simple short prayer in the pamplet and agreeing that he will be blessed! Praise God! My other 2 blessing for today came with my intentional meeting up of two students for lunch. Bought the students lunch, and bless then with the donation flower which I bought in the morning as well. It was a good time of just chatting and then they were rather suprised at the 100k pamplet. Student " Woh cher.. all the blessing like very good lei.. cant have all huh? Very difficult to choose lei"Even as I heard that, I then come to realised indeed it is so true that men are greedy, but God is gracious and he gives and bless readily! It was a wondeful opportunity which opened up the doors for me to share with them : Indeed you can be blessed with all of it when you come to know the Lord, for He is a giver of them all! I had the chance to share more with both of them and one was rather open. Hence praying she will join us soon at service! It ended off with both of them declearing the blessing prayer on their own aloud as we guided them along and me closing with a words of blessing for them! What a wondonerful start Father for a Monday for me! Thank you so much! Well I could not have done all these without the Lord guiding me and not forgetting my 2 dear grandaughters, Cecilia and Yuping who help me enguage their friends and also supported me through out the conversations with their friends, my students! * Clap Clap* Thanks so much, you really helped much in just the simple things! " Its more blessed to give then to receive"Share your 100k experience here! Me blogged @ | 11:02 PM
.: JULY 06 & 07:Change of heart & Devine manifesto :.
Self help techniques can never transform the inner man. Human effort will only lead to more defeats. Interestingly as we move through all the different conditions what our heart moves into such that it becomes a heart of Stone, we come to realised God actually just want us to simply come back to repent and reconcile with Him.
God is speaking to us today: " My child, I will give you a new hear. You will truely live and learn what it means to love Me. You will be Mine and I will be yours"
Have we heard that which God is saying to us? If yes then in this season of His visitation, how then shall we live?
To that Question, I would want to live my life such that I can love with no strings attached, just like how Jesus love us. I want to live my life such that my faith will attract others to the Lord. I want people to praise God as a result of my life. These will be the desires of my heart!
Whats yours?

.: July 05: In Stony Stupor :.
As I read of the story of Nabal and Abigail with David, indeed Nabal is so foolish to have refused to open his heart to David's simple request for hospitality.
It hit me in a different way. David, being the son of Jesse, Goliath - slayer, King designate, actually humbled himself to a lower position and seek the help of Nabal and even went with a word of blessing.
How many times we can do that? Even as we journey through this 100k campaign, lets be like David, able to bring ourselves to see the needs of others and to go with a word of blessing .
You realised the foolish Nabal end up like a stone and he was later struck dead by the Lord. Lets not wait till we fall into this stage because we have allowed our own pride and foolishness to take over us and not allowed the Holy Spirit to come and bring us back to the cross of Jesus again!
Lets all choose to return back to God again!

.: July 04: Son from stones :.
" Those who glory in their own acievements, social standing, educational background.... will soon have no room for God in their hearts. "
This statement is indeed so true. Have we allowed our hearts to be split into different rooms and some we wont allow God to come in? God should be filled in every single room in our hearts, not just some or a few. Self - conceit is dangerous. It is the road to deception. It will cause our hearts to turn hard and cold.
I recalled how I used to always live my life in the pass glorious days and still think I am just like that. I also carry this attitude then into thinking I am good enough and I am capable and hence this makes God small in my life, and someone who I will only call out when I need Him. At times serving God seems outwardly to be really on fire, but deep down inside, I am withering away, living in the world of my own. Life becomes superficial, fake at times.
Then God had to bring me to a point where I was so broken and hence came to realised all that I have done or achieve, He is not impressed at all with any of them. I came in repentance at the foot of the cross and indeed I want to live a life where my heart is not harden to the words and the prompting of the Lord!
Have you been so caught up with the fame and authority you experience that you miss the bigger picture that God has for you?

.: July 03: Guard your Heart :.
As I read through today's entry, the thing that caught me was this statement:
"Every act of rebellion dulls the conscience. Every sinful choice to resist God, to go our own way, to do our own things empowers the flesh and increses carnality. And slowly, the heart starts to stray."
As I reflected this upon my own life, I realised at some point and certain areas of my life, I might hvae dull the conscience in me. I dont think it is exactly done out due to my rebellion nature, but more so with what I think I can do more then what God can do.
The next thing that caught me was: How serious am I about pleasing God?
Seriously, in everyting that I am doing, I do hope and pray that my every action will please the heart of God. I do not work to seek the approval and to win the hearts of men, but that which is upon the Lord's Heart!
Lets not harden our hearts today anymore especially so when we know God wants to come in and work through some areas of our life. Let him come in and turn this heart of stone into a heart that beats strongly for Him!

.: July 02: Seeding the Heart! :.
The Question today: WHAT IS THE STATE OF YOUR INNER GARDEN?
To this Question, I poundered and as I read about the parable of the sower, indeed the key thing that caught me was this statement that was made: " The condition of your heart determines if the Word of God will take root, or shrivel up and die. "
I drew a picture of my inner Garden:
Actually I know, it reminds you of your primary of kindergarden drawing! Haha.. it is a simple drawing which I did using paint art. My inner life now can be describe with a beautiful rainbow up in the sky, with the sun shinning upon the grass with flowers and birds flying freeing in the sky. Just like any beautiful scene! The sun represents the Lord and his word in my life, as it shines upon me and gives me light and guidance and source of strength to grow. The rainbow represents the challenges and difficult moments which I went through but yet God made a way and hence victory stands after a storm with the rainbow representing that. The birds represents the freedom which I experience so far, knowing that God has already set me free in certain areas of my life, and gave me more confidence, security and assurance to do the things He has set aside for me. However in my inner garden, I believe there are still seeds which have yet to bloom, and these are areas which God is still working through in me, molding me and giving me the nutrients before I can grow into a beautiful flower. This will then add to the beautiful and wonderful picture what God has already set out for me.
Yeh isnt our God Great? So what does your inner garden look like then? Share them here!

.: The Family! :.
It was a rare opportunity for my Spiritual Mother Yueh Ping to walk by us, hence with the 99% attendence of the cell, I thought we should take a picture with her! Isnt it a wonderful shot? Something which I believe will go down memory lane! Really want to thank my mother for her simple yet affirming words to me. All she said was :
" Woh so many people today! Good, you all are following the right leader. She is very capable and you all can continue to follow under her footsteps. She is very Kuai and also have been a good daughter to me"
Just those simple words really mean so much to me. Haha.. think in future my mother should come and seat in more often in our cell.
Indeed I am praying every day that the Lord will Bless the cell, Enlarge my territory, Let His hands be with each and everyone of you and also that He would keep each one of you away from evil! May the Jabez prayer also be the cry of your heart personally!
