Faith=)

Going back to the verse i start with...

1 Cor13:13
and now abide in faith hope and love; but the greatest of all is love

Faith appears in the bible around 243 times in the bible. You'd heard from Pastor Kong that God response to faith.So what does the bible says about faith?

Romans 10:17
Faith comes by hearing and hearing of the Word

Hebrew 11:6
But without faith it is impossible to please him, for he who comes to God must believe that he is the rewarder of those who diligently seek him

Matthew 17:20
So Jesus said to them,'' Because of your unbelief; for assurely, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'move from here to there,' and it will move, and nothing will be impossible with you.

Ephesians 3:20
Now to him is able to do exceedingly, abundantly above all that we ask or think, According to the power that work in us (Faith in us towards God)

Of course God loves us to be having a 'nothing is impossible attitude' to him but do you know that God has faith in us?Let me show you the chapter and verse =)

Mattew 16:18
And I say to you that you are peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hades shall not prevail against it.

This verse clearly shown that Jesus who is 100% man and 100% God say to his disciple Peter that he has faith in him because no devil can be against him as he build his church. This word is not in the bible by coincident. However, Jesus spoke to peter (on this rock). Hence it is important that God build his church on a solid foundation as he has faith in us. Zhan Rong, God has faith in you not just passing you chinese but you can scorce an A1 even. God has faith in this cell group that it will surely grow!But remeber....

James 2:20
But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without work is dead?

So we must mix our faith with work at the same time=)

Speaking about faith, let me ask you a question: Who is your favourite teacher of all time? Think back through all your years in school from kindergarten ti your recent education. Who stands out? Is there a teacher who changed your life? Most of us have one. Mine was actually my primary four and five teacher named Mr Andrew leong and Mr faisal.

What make that teacher different? Was it subject knowledge? Was it teaching technique? Though your teacher possessed great knowledge and mastered outstanding techniquem I'm willing to bet that what seperates that teacher was that he/she saw mw as a 10 out of a 10. In other words, have faith in me. The teacher who threaten you and tells you how ignorant or in undisciplined you are isn't the one who inspires you to learn and grow.It's the one who think you're wonderful and tells you so. I like maths a lot. I like maths a lot. Even though there was a period I grew to hate studies, I still love maths. Why?

The journey started way back where I was in kindergarten .I aced nothing but just maths only and my family never fail to encourage me about how good I am. My primary four and five teacher never fail to reward me when i aced it. They have faith in me doing well in maths!

What I am trying to say is Faith edifys and encourage people. Instead of saying a person cannot achieve what he is trying to why dun you reassure him that he can do it? In cell group , why don't we start having faith in each other. A place of agreement is a place of ower, isn't it?

In conclusion,

Ephesians 6:16
above all taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all fiery darts of the wicked one.

Faith is a shield. As youth praying warriors, we need to pick up our shield of faith not just to defend ourself but also protecting others with our shield of faith.Of course god's shield of faith is watching over us. In the mean time, let us abide(live in) Faith, Hope and Love ^^

zr's revelation

when we face trials and obstacles do not fear it do not run away from it face it as from the bible it says james 1:2~3
consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.

we have to persevere to get more mature so for me i will persevere to study my chinese
and in james 1:5 says:
if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives genoursly to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.

james 1:2~6
consider 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 its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. if any of you lack wisdom, he ask God, who give generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. but when he ask, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like wave of sea, blown and tossed by the wind.

to all who have difficulty in studies continue studying have faith that God may help u in your studies.

A new building for CHC !

Looking at the title , everyone just knows it (:
Its on newspaper ( home B5 )
I really want to thank God for giving us this land .
CHC have really been planning this for a long time .
And when Pastor Kong shared the good news ,
Everyone was clapping , smiling , laughing , crying !
It was a wonderful news which was fantastic enough to share with the whole Singapore ^^
All our prayers have finally come through .
Im proud of CHC :D

And this few days , I have been quite tired out .
I really want to thank God for the strength He gives me every morning to go to school .
As some of you know , Im those kind of "night bird"
Thats my dictionary . Whatever~
Although i slept quite late last night , I surprisingly woke up this morning , by myself . No alarm , no one giving morning call , no one asking me to wake up (:

And also the past few weeks , I have ALMOST got hit by cars many times . Going to and fro from school has caused a lot . 3 times already i guess ?
I really thank God for being there for me all the time . He is our Saviour , our Protector . He is the one thats always with us in whatever we do .

4D Living ~
1. Thinking
2. Visions and Dreams
3. Faith
4. Speaking
We should confess and confess and confess . We should confess to God . 1000 times (:
And we must have a positive mind , not a negative one .
When we think we cant do it , we really cant . We will just fail .
After thinking about it , we must have a vision . What will happen , visualise it .
Thirdly , we must have faith . We must know that everything is possible with our Lord , Jesus Christ .
Lastly , speak it out . Like what pastor has said the last few month / years . They said that we WILL have a new building . We will penetrate the marketplace , and after so long ,
We FINALLY DID .

I want to share this verse with all of your :
Acts 13:33
"God has fulfilled this for us their children , in that He has raised up Jesus. As it is also written in the second Psalm :
'You are My Son ,
Today I have begotten you.'

You see , all of us are God's children . All of us are unique . Each of us are all protected by God . He is our great big daddy God (: He is just that great and awesome ! With Him , ALL things are POSSIBLE (:

I can do everything!

I just want to post anothing quick event. I really want to thank God for His strength cos recently, like some of you guys know,im pretty busy and like with my chingay rehearsals that last up to 10pm at area around singapore flyer on a weekend and i'd really be very tired the following day. and like today, i really learnt that i can depend on God for strength. Because i only reach home at 11 plus yesterday and today i thought that i would sleep during lessons, but apparently, i had the strength to listen very hard and really pay attention. My school today ended at 6.15pm also. so i didn't really have much break.

I believe that prayer and hardwork is really the key to successes in life and that with God, NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE :D This year is going to stretch me till my max and i'm gonna make piorities to certain things and things are going to be very different this year!

Always remember that God is forever my Jehovah Jireh, God our PROVIDER. And i'm gonna continue to trust that God will guide me through all my ups and downs in my life and im not gonna lose faith in Him ! No matter how big or small the problem im facing, i can always turn to God and put my 101% trust in Him !

God's grace upon our lifes.......

Upon the blessing i have recieved from God about the new handphone, I also thank God for being graceful to me! It happened last monday that I lost my wallet on a bus trip. Not realizing that i have lost my wallet on the bus until I walked into the bank trying to get my IC out. My Ez-link was also in my wallet and i couldn't find my wallet at the bus stop. I tried calling home to ask my brother to help me but he told me that he was doing something and asked me to walk gome. When the call ended, I was at the bus stop and I saw a bus driver whom is a good friend of my mother and a good friend of mine.She happened to be driving the same bus i took just now (410W) She borrowed me her Ez-link card and told me to report the lost IC again and again. I have faith that i will find the wallet! When i reached the Bus interchange, just like every fairytale, my wallet was found. I really thank God for that.

Like what Jess said,tasting the goodness of God. I taste great. For those who did not know my O level result,I sorce:

English: D7
Combine Humanities: B3
Chinese: B3
Principle of a cow: C6 (The cow was complicated)
Math: A2
Science: A1
Additional Math: A2

Whatever I haved sowed,there i have reaped.

To all O level and schooling students . Being a positive person.you'd find out that i have 3As and I know and I know that it is not easy to study long hours. What I did was study until 6 to 8 and i pray after that( When it was near the O level period probably around October).

Praying Was like recharging my physical strength

Remember God is your Jehovah Shammah( Always present with you!)
Even if you fall asleep in the class room, he has his eyes looking at you!
All the best for the schooling student,I am also starting school soon ^^ will be praying for you all


Do remember to live in faith, hope and love =)

God bless,
David

God's grace upon our lifes ^^
