Hey Central Two,
Ernest here.

How are your intensive studying doing for the sec 3s?And lets keep Benton and Shaun in prayer for their 'O' Levels yeah? (:

I want to share with you some things about forgiveness.

Forgiveness is being aware of what someone has done and still choosing to forgive him/her.

Forgiveness is choosing to keep no records of wrongs.
1 Corinthians 13:5 says,"(Love)....it keeps no record of wrongs."

Forgiveness is choosing mercy and not judgement.

Forgiveness is an issue of the heart.
1 John 3:21
"Dear friends,if our hearts do not condemn us,we have confidence before God."

Forgiveness is giving to God our "Right of revenge"
Romans 12:19
"Vengeance is Mine,I will repay."(NKJV)

What Forgiveness Is Not
1.Forgiveness is not approving what the person has done.
John 8:11
"Go and sin no more."(NKJV)

2.Forgiveness is not excusing what the person has done.
Numbers 14:19
"Please pardon the sins of this people because of your magnificent,unfailing love,just as you have forgiven them ever since they left Eygpt."

3.Forgiveness is not justifying what the person has done.

4.Fogiveness is not denying what the person has done.

5.Forgiveness is not forgetting
Hebrews 8:12
"And I will forgive their wrongdoings,and i will never again remember their sins."(NLT)

6.Fogiveness is not pretending we are not hurt.
2 Samuel 11:27
"But the thing that David had done displeased the LORD."

Why should we forgive?

1. We are commanded to forgive-this is not an option.

Matthew 6:14-15
"If you forgive those who sin against you,your heavenly Father will forgive you.But if you refuse to forgive others,your Father will not forgive your sins."(NLT)

Ephesians 4:32
"Instead,be kind to each other,tenderhearted,forgiving one another,just as God through Christ has forgiven you."(NLT)

Colossians 3:13
"You must make allowance for each other's faults and forgive the person who offends you.Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others."(NLT)

2.Christ Himself has set the example.
a)On the cross

Luke 23:34
"Father,forgive these people,because they don't know what they are doing."(NLT)

Colossians 2:13-14
"13 You were dead because of your sins and because your sinful nature was not yet cut away.Then God made you alive with Christ.He forgave all our sins.14 He canceled the record that contained the charges against us."(NLT)

Matthew 5:7
Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
--Jesus--

Whom Should We Forgive?

1.Forgiving others
2.Forgiving God
3.Forgiving ourselves

What are the consequences of an Unforgiving Heart?

The Law Of Sowing And Reaping

Galatians 6:7-8
"Don't be misled. Remember that you can't ignore God and get away with it. You will always reap what you sow! Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful desires will harvest the consequences of decay and death. But those who live to please the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit."(NLT)

Some Consequences are:
1. Torment of anger, bitterness and resentment that lead to sin.

2.Sickness

3.Broken relationships

4.Bondage
Ephesians 4:26
And "don't sin by letting anger gain control over you."

What are the Blessings of Forgiveness?
1.Blessings of God-biblical examples:
a)Genesis 26:17-33
Isaac walked in forgiveness with the shepherds regarding the ownership of the wells and God blessed him.

b)Genesis 29:14-30:42
Jacob walked in forgiveness of Laban, who as a father-in-law tricked him many times and changed his wages. God blessed Jacob's flocks.

2. Personal freedom from torment,emotional ties to the offenders.

3.Restoration of relationships

4.Healing in the spiritual, emotional and physical being.

How do we walk in forgiveness?

1.Healing is a process.It is a daily walk.

2.We need to continue to choose to forgive.

3.Choose to forgive and bless.

4.Discipline any wayward behaviour or thinking that the enemy may put into your minds that would cause you to doubt your forgiveness.(Philippians 4:8)

5.Believe in the power of forgiveness.

6.Do not dwell on the wrong done nor sin committed.

Forgiveness is often a major key in the process of healing and restoration.Do not doubt it.

Forgiveness is a very strong weapon,do not seek revenge but be merciful.Without forgiveness,this world would be in chaos.Thank God for forgiving the world and shining his light.

JIAYOU FOR YOUR WEEK CENTRAL TWO!!!
Love Ya :D

Hey C2 :)
Jayna here again! I read something interesting and I wanted to share it with you guys, an interesting topic I suppose you guys probably have questions about it. So.....here goes. :) An excerpt from a book by Mary Pierce, let me know if you guys are interested in reading!

What does God sound like when he speaks to you? I don't really know what I was expecting to hear. Maybe I was expecting something more booming and majestic, a voice like thunder.

It's hard to know what God will sound like, or if we should even be hearing him. Some people who've claimed to hear his voice have gotten into trouble. Joan of Arc, for instance. Some people say prayer is a supernatural conversation that involves speaking and listening, which means that God is going to say something to you. Others call it "lunacy", but God spoke to people in the bible all the time. I'd read about the prophet Elijah's experience with hearing the voice of God.

Do you know the story? It's found in 1 Kings 19:1-13. I'll sum it up here. Elijah was pooped out, and he ran for his life, ending up in a cave. God asked him a question, "what are you doing here, Elijah?". Then God told him to step our of the cave, on the mountain, "in the presence of the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by". Not only was God speaking to Elijah, but God was about to make a physical appearance.

But the Lord said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”

10 Elijah replied, “I have zealously served the Lord God Almighty. But the people of Israel have broken their covenant with you, torn down your altars, and killed every one of your prophets. I am the only one left, and now they are trying to kill me, too.”

11 “Go out and stand before me on the mountain,” the Lord told him. And as Elijah stood there, the Lord passed by, and a mighty windstorm hit the mountain. It was such a terrible blast that the rocks were torn loose, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. 12 And after the earthquake there was a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire there was the sound of a gentle whisper. 13 When Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his cloak and went out and stood at the entrance of the cave.

And a voice said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”

You see, God doesn't speak in the storms, earthquakes, fires and wind. He speaks in the whisper. I sense him asking me the same question. What am I doing here, with my life, with my days, with my moments?How do we find the time to listen to God when the calendar is packed full with other things? The answer is simple, be still and know that He is God.

In another version that is "cease striving, and know that he is God". That means to quit trying to so hard, to stop struggling. I don't know, but that sounds pretty good to me.


Hope you guys learnt something from this!
Jayna :)

Hey dear C2!

Just want to share with you my thoughts before and after cell yeah. (: (this is more like whatever i did on saturday hahaha)
Um,yeah so after i ate breakfast i starting baking muffins with my mum till 2pm when i left home for church because i had ushering.Awww man there were so many leftovers haha okay nevermind.Ushering was kind of messy cause the p6-ers are coming for the first time and we had to settle them to the seats, haha but during worship we didnt need to worry so much because the seats on the left are all full so we can concentrate on God (:.

Cell was awesome! :D i think to summarise whatever Joan Chew shared yesterday is that, we really need to rely fully on the Holy Spirit to guide us through the whole journey,forgetting about our earthly desires,everything that had happened,feelings and just trusting in God to use us in the way he planned our lives to go.

I want to emphasize on the fear of the Lord and how great is our God.
When you become a christian,you would be so passionate about God,wanting to know more and more things about him,you would love him so much till words cannot speak how much you love him.But always remember the fear of the Lord, many back-slided christians all love the Lord, they never stop loving him, but the problem is, they do not fear him.The fear of the Lord is something that draws you even closer to God, its not being afraid of him but you will gain a better relationship with him. Fearing him is fearing to sin against him.I mean.... just think back on everything you have been through in your life,all the victories, all the sins,and what Jesus the sinless man dieing on the cross for all our sins.(I cannot really explain on this,its really fully on your own experience,all i can say is seek God,all in all,open your heart to him.)

Man, i really wanted to share this with the cell,whenever i think of it,it really breaks my heart apart to really come back to God.Well,there is something i have been dwelling on since Saturday morning when i woke up.I think it was about 4.55am then.I opened my eyes,then a few seconds later i closed them.i had a vision, i was in a classroom with many of my friends there, i tried to talk to him, but every single one of them turned away from me, they mocked at me,despised me.It was really a terrible feeling. Then i opened my eyes,I was really turning round,i was mentally in pain. Then awhile later,i turned up to the ceiling.I think God spoke to me,This sentence came upon me."Jesus has no reputation"WOW! after i heard that i closed my eyes again. I saw Jesus carrying the cross coming in my direction,when he was infront of me,i offered him water,food, but he shooked his head,so i asked him,"so what do you want?"

He answered,"For you to carry the cross" i opened my eyes, i just cried and cried just really broke in tears ,tears streaming down my cheeks for about 5 minutes.It is like, WOW! The almighty God,Powerful God, but yet, The Humble God.He could do so many miracles,healing the blind and the ill,but when all had deserted him, all he did was love him and said,"Forgive them for they do not know what they are doing"

Just think about your life,have your desires and the feeling of being left out make you sin? Central Two, it is never too late to come back to God, you may not fully understand, i mean, i dont either, but theres only one thing we can do, and that is to open our hearts really not wanting anything in return,God has patience,he is the loving God,sending his son from Heaven to Earth just to die on the cross for Man's guilt.

Trust in him and he will make a way for you.

As we choose this path to follow God and obey him,we have to make sacrifices in our lives,we would have to sacrifices all that we had desired or even idoled,like how i was so addicted to computer games and then soon came to Pornography,as we make the choice to be a christian,we will face many struggles,people feeling weird around you,i dont know,God has a plan for each and every one of you.Well,i can say this,i have not regretted any moment of my life from the time when i confessed my sins to God when i stepped into Megalife(p6).I may have people leaving me,all these things that really breaks your heart.But this is all done because God wants you to seek him more and more.

But be aware,even if everything goes through smoothly, be cautious of pride, pride is a very strong weakness,if you have alot of awards,you are the smartest student in school,best in sports and all the achievements, remember that it is not by your strength you overcame,it is all because of God.After getting achievements, you may become Proud,Boastful,doing things to impress others,Love.

I have experienced it,during my fencing competition in September,i believed that God prevented me from getting a medal because if i had achieved that medal, i would be proud.But after thinking about it,i really want to thank God for all of that.

There are many things that are in my mind but its quite messy in my mind.So all i can say is,Trust in the Holy Spirit.Trust in the Holy Spirit.Trust in the Holy Spirit.Trust in the Holy Spirit.Trust in the Holy Spirit.Trust in the Holy Spirit.Trust in the Holy Spirit.Trust in the Holy Spirit.Trust in the Holy Spirit.

Trust in the Holy Spirit.There may be obstacles in between, the devil giving you doubts and thoughts, but like what Pastor had said, when you are close to God,the devil cannot come into you,but when you are far from him, all the negative thoughts will wander into you,lust,proudness,sin.....

You know what is the right thing to do,you know what is the wrong thing to do, but why do we do the wrong things?Desires,Desires,Desires.....

Surrender yourselves to God,espically the things which you spend most of your time on and your mind will fade away from God,Computer games?,Listening to Songs?,Anything! Even Yourself.

Hahahaha,well, i just want to pray for Benton and Shaun that they will go through the 'O' Levels with a mind of peace and joy, that they will trust in God throughout the exams,i pray that God will take away all their distractions,emotions and everything that is worrying them.I just want to lift them into your hands, In Jesus Most Precious Name,Amen.

Lastly,those of you who are ill,like Kele(proud of you making the choice to come to church despite your condition).May God protect you,heal you.May God cast out all the demons that are in your body,so that you can be alive and well,able to focus more on God.Get Well Soon Yeah! :D

A year has past and its going to be 2010! I have learnt many many many things from God,also want to thank Isaac for being a great Cell Leader in the Cell, May the the grace of God be with you always,may you also pass it on to others!

Central Two,Seek him and he will be found.Even if you are a mature christian,continue to make commitments to God to keep that fire for God.This is not the end yet,never lose that fire for God.NO ONE CAN JUDGE HOW CLOSE YOU CAN GET TO GOD,NO ONE CAN JUDGE HOW YOU WORSHIP HIM.IT IS ALL FOR GOD.

1.We Are Made With Christ.
2.We Are Made By Christ.
3.We Are Made For Christ.

Regardless your situation, you feelings, remember that your worship is for God to feel Good,not because you want to feel good.

These are just my thoughts for now,and i believe you guys and girls have been through alot too and i hope to hear from you guys and girls too haha.

Hope to see all of you fired up for Christ next Saturday yeah?:D
We live by the Risen King!
In the Darkness,God's light shines!
Jesus died and rose again,my God,i'll only ever give my all!
My God he made a way,My God he saved the day,Forever,We will Shout Your Praise!
Greater Things Are Still To Be Done In This City!
