James 1: 2-8
Wednesday, September 24, 2008 @ 6:19 PM
James 1: 2-8Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish it's work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault and it will be given to him. But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does. Thought it was a nice verse and I thought I should share it with you guys! (: PURE JOY! We need to consider it pure joy and not treat it with procrastinations and complaints. Cause it's all for the moulding of our perseverance and we'll become mature and complete :D It's hard to have pure joy when we face trails, but hey, we know we'll become better people. Go listen to scars by Corrinne May, same meaning (: And EOYs are here!! Streaming for some of you. So ask God for wisdom, but don't ever ever doubt (: He's sucha mighty God, and I'm so amazed by the glory of Him (:
EOYs
Tuesday, September 23, 2008 @ 3:49 AM
Hey C2.Charis here btw. I'm having EOYs now, and there's seriously this big, really big pressure and stress and whatever you wanna call it. And I just really feel like !@#$%&*() at times and I just cry when I see the textbook. Yes, it's that bad. And it just feels like everything is breaking down and I'm just so tired. And I just wanna give up and just say, "I give up!!!!" This isn't a ranting session nor am I taking my frustrations out on this blog. Thing is, I just wanted to say, it's in times like this friends matter a lot. Of course God can help us pull through, but friends matter a lot, and I just wanted to say that in this EOYs, alot of your friends would be feeling this way, and it's a good opportunity to show how we care for them. In every circumstance, there's always a door open, we need to be sensitive enough to notice it. And for all those Central2 people who are feeling stressed and down and "i give up"-ish, JIA YOU! (: Cos if God is for us, who can be against us. See you guys this Saturday, I hope I'll be able to go. With God, we're always winners.
What if His people prayed.

Hey everyone this is Joanc!I always forget to put my name after each post so I shall put it now before I forget. Btw, always leave your name k. Haha. Unless you wish to remain anon, cos, like, if you do say something that blesses someone, I'm sure the someone would like to thank you personally and since everyone would love to be appreciated at some time or another, you would too, so yes, please leave your name! (: Anyway. I just did some praying and waiting on God? Yup, which I haven't been doing in a while..... And. I was just planning for tomorrow's CCH prayer meeting, and the one on Tue. And I realise I need 3 days to meet up w you CCH people to, properly, sell you the vision that Isaac has sold to me heh heh. Is it a vision? Not really actually. I think a challenge la. An exciting one :D I'm really excited. I mean, I still do feel that all the fear in me is kinda limiting my level of excitement, but I'm gna break out of it. "Perfect love casts out all fear" I shouldn't have to be afraid of anything at all 'cause God's fighting on my side, so yes, I will keep praying (: I just want to share what I'm currently feeling, I hope it'll somewhat inspire/bless/encourage you. If I can do this, I know you can, too (: I want to be a woman of faith. (Or girl la. woman sounds so old). I want to be a girl of faith. Strong strong strong faith. I want to be mad, crazy, really insane, just for Jesus. I want back the power of God in my life. And when I get it, I'm not letting go. I no longer want to be that fire that has gone out. I want God to be my oxygen, I want COMPLETE COMBUSTION! (woah woah chemistry) Yes, I want to experience God every. single. day., wherever I go whatever I do, in toilet etc ANYWHERE AT ALL, I WANT TO FEEL JESUS. And more than just feeling Him, I want to love Him with all my heart, all my soul, all the time. I want to be willing to die just for Him. I want to be loyal to Jesus. I don't want to drift away ever again, I don't want to let anything else stop me from getting to Jesus. Jeremy, usher leader shared before: When you open a door, you don't have to kick it and handle it roughly like trying to break it etc to open it. All you have to do is simply turn the knob. Same goes for opening Jesus' door. Just put your hand over the doorknob, turn it gently. That's all it takes. Bottomline is, I want a lot of Jesus in my life. Over the course of the past months as I drifted away and many issues that I had to deal with appeared in my face, God revealed many many many things to me. All the questions I had, I didn't know who to ask. Only God could answer. And on Sat, the words that Bob Sorge spoke were from God. Every thing he said came right at me, slapped me in the face. All the questions I had, all the confusion and all the doubts, all the internal struggles w my own emotions, etc etc etc, e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g was answered. And I started to understand many many things. Esp during cell. During worship, I began to see so many things. It was like. Ultimate breakthrough. Although I know I still have to put in effort to do my QT and spend time w God if I want a closer walk w Him. Which I'm working on. so anyway, Yes. I think this is the start of a new season. Which involves my revived dream for CCH (: I thought I'd never get out of that bad patch. Like the so-called season of stagnancy? For so many months. But whoo, thank God, I'm out! :D I was beginning to lose hope in everything. Actualy not beginning to, I already had. My life was like, woah. So hopeless and meaningless without God's power. You know? It's not exactly an empty feeling, nor is it really very lonely or whatsoever. It's not a very sharp pain kinda feeling but it's like..... a subtle one but yet one that... you just know your life is so dim. I've never felt that way before. And it's miserable man haha. I relied on many things that weren't Christian (not saying I became very un-christian-ly, just didn't use holy moley means) to make myself feel better each time. But of course, short-lived results. I knew only God could satisfy me, but yet I just found it so hard to come back. Last week was the worst. It's not PMS I know it, LOL. It's just the peak of my bad season. I never felt so miserable + let down + all the other horrible vegetable feelings all at once before. It's like one morning I woke up and checked my phone and like I just felt really fed up and hurt and all that. I was kicking in my bed like some grumpy kid. And yeah every night I'd get so emo I couldn't stand myself. So today Bob Sorge preached about Enduring Faith. And I was thinking a few weeks back that....... In the last few years of my walk w God I always managed to be strong enough to want to endure through it all, but this time, this season, it's just so. I don't know, like I just gave up? Why? I felt like a loser. LOL. That time la. Well now. I decided and I've resolved that I want to endure anything that comes my way now on. Won't avoid issues, won't try to escape from them all, gna be strong cos I'm empowered by God, amen! Perfect love casts out all fear Perfect love casts out all fear Perfect love casts out all fear Ditto x 10000000.... Yes. And Central Two, CCH people, "We will run, altogether our hearts aflame, with a fire that can't be tamed, our God, all glory to Your name" I want my heart to be on fire, aflame. That no one at all can put out. Esp not Satan. I've got a song for you all. What if His people prayed - Casting crowns. Go read the lyrics. What if the armies of the Lord Picked up and dusted off their swords Vowed to set the captive free And not let satan have one more What if the Church, for heaven's sake Finally stepped up to the plate Took a stand upon God's promise And stormed hell's rusty gates Chorus I: What if His people prayed And those who bear His name Would humbly seek His faith, yeah And turn from their old ways And what would happen if we prayed For those raised up to lead the way Then maybe kids in school could pray And unborn children see light of day What if the life that we pursue Came from a hunger for the truth What if the family turned to Jesus Stopped asking Oprah what to do Chorus I: What if His people prayed And those who bear His name Would humbly seek His face yeah And turn from their own way Chorus II: He said that He would hear His promise has been made He'll answer loud and clear, yeah If only we would pray Bridge: If My people call by My name If they'll humble themselves and pray If My people call by My name If they'll humble themselves and pray Choruses: What if His people prayed And those who bear His name Would humbly seek His face, yeah And turn from their old ways He said that He would hear His promise has been made He'll answer loud and clear yeaah If only we would pray What if His people prayed? The title of the song. Well, if we pray, God will answer loud and clear. God will stick by His promise. Everyone, Don't let satan have one more. It's time to pray. (: Now, I understand what it means, to want to pray like never before. To be so hungry, so desperate to see revival. Love you C2 (: Saturday, September 20, 2008 @ 8:00 PM
After reading the previous 2 posts, all I can say is AMEN :DThanks Joan(s) for those 2 awesome posts, and now I've something to add on. Amberlie, Amelia, Crystal, Joanng, Kendrick, Rachel, Shaun and Me. I really felt so strongly to tell you this! Even when you're alone, God and you makes the majority. Did you get that? I'll say it again. EVEN WHEN YOU'RE ALONE, GOD AND YOU MAKES THE MAJORITY. Yup, let it sink in. I know it really sucks being in a school where you seem reallllllyyyyyy alone, like as if no one else cares. But honestly? If you just open your eyes and take a good look around, there are quite a few people that do care, because like us they too believe in the one true living God. So, you're really not alone (: Maybe from Central 2 you're the alone person from your school. So what? I am too. I remember in the planning for Nubian Gents and all, Isaac repeatedly, REPEATEDLY, kept saying the word "no kick". It was seriously quite funny. EXAMPLE: You think very hard to get 100 guests from our cell to NG meh? For God it's NO KICK OKAY. And moremoremore, the "challenges" started getting bigger. But the one thing that didn't change was that it was all the same "no kick" for God. Okay, you might think. "Jialat, no kick for God, very kick for me". Then let me share something else. Yihui told us "all you need is simple faith". I don't know how else to emphasize that it IS possible. And it IS going to happen. Let's just get our butts moving and do the work God has mapped out for us (: Bo pian I have to say this. It may seem like other schools has such big numbers, such big dreams. But numbers don't equate to dreams. You can dream big, ALONE. Or rather, just you and God. Remember, YOU AND GOD MAKES THE MAJORITY. I think you guys know what I mean. Don't feel left out of God's big plan. Although it seems like you're not involved at all, he has a great, great plan for you. And maybe that's too go out and win souls ALONE. Aiya, I really don't know what to say already. Just don't feel hopeless and helpless even when the situation seems pathetic. A little faith's enough to see moutains lifted, moved. Alright peace out centralites, I wish you a very fruitful week ahead:D I'm praying for all you people having exams, and even in this tough and trying time now, it's time to make a difference (it always is!) Don't limit God, don't limit yourself, and you'll be in for a surprise. Love you all :D (for anyone who doesn't already know who I am!) Jayna :D Jesus, take the wheel (:

Listen to that song, look at the lyrics (: I think it's really meaningful. I just wna say, that today, I finally got a breakthrough (: And I know, it's the starting of something new. I believe, with all my heart, that CCHMS is for Jesus (: @ 9:22 AM
Cell sharing was as great today.Vision may seems scary and impossible. But when you trust and pray God answer. Faith as small as mustard seed moves mountain. All it takes is ONE crazy person. One crazy person to make impact in people's life. to change lifes. Sometimes I wish God would change me, like I wont care about how people look at me. I wont care about how I look, how stupid I may seems in people's eye. Or maybe how people mock me, despise me for my faith in my Lord Jesus Christ. Sometimes I wish im isnt who I am. Sometimes I wish Im not like that. I dont look like that, I dont speak like that. I dont do things like that. So that I can really be so crazy about my faith. I can go around sharing gospel, telling people how great is MY god. Sometimes I wish I was friendly, I wish I have many many friends. So that I can show each and everyone of them a little bit of Jesus. I can love them, So that I can make use of my life to show people that my God lives in me. So that I can be a living testimony. A life that reflects Jesus christ. I want to be like people who is so crazy about Jesus Christ that they could have the courage to speak infront of all their classmates and schoolmates about Jesus. About how He had saved us. Let's not be the one who's always sitting there listening to people's testimony on how they experiece God, and how God transformed their lifes. Let's be the one sharing, let's be the one who tells everyone how God perform His miracles in our life. Its enough of listening, let's be the one who God acts on. Let's be the one standing infront of people sharing our testimony today. Sometimes I wish I wasnt who I am. Sometimes I wish im in a way of silly, silly like a naive children that wont care about how people look at and think of. Let's be a living testimony. Let's trust and pray, believe it today Central two. Let's have faith in our Lord Jesus that He will never ever break His promises for us. Joan ng. Posting
