Happy Birthday prayer partner!

This guy here is Ming Jun. My great spiritual partner too! We pray together, sing together, laugh together, share our visions together, praise & worship God together, same vision...Wow! Seems like there is a lot of common areas between me and him huh? Haha!! Alright...Happy Birthday to you my best brother! 1st of June! Haha! May God's double portion of blessing be on you!

This afternoon we went to have our lunch in Grand Oriental Pavilion 大港城. The dim sum session in this restaurant is only until 2pm, and the dim sum is nice! The price also quite nice lar... That's why I just invite KC, Caryn & Ming Jun together, then total 4 of us! Haha!

When we went there, wow....it is seriously crowded and a lot of people waiting outside for seat. Oh thanks Lord, I know the General Manager over there, and when I saw the situation, straight away I go and find her and ask for a seat. Oh yeah, of course I got a seat in 5 minutes then! Haha! (dunno what the others will think about this when then know this thing happen -.-)

And we order, order and order....The price is total RM101.20! Wow! Expensive man! 4 person eat a lunch for RM101.20! Waaahh!! But......Hehehe...I got a RM50 voucher and it's only valid until today! 31st of May! Oh yeah! And actually this is also the main reason why I wanna bring them to eat in the restaurant -.-|||

So thank God...each of us just pay RM12.50..instead of paying more than that.
Hehehe.... =)

Happy Birthday Ming Jun!
Hehehe =)

You title this!

Haha! First time ever I title my post as "You title this!", because I really don't know what to title it except wording it as "Thank You Jesus!". So I decided to let my fellow brothers & sisters to name it yourselves =)

Why would I do this again? Oh well, this post is actually a testimony regarding to a miracle growing in my cell group.

Included the 6 months of intern cell leader, I've already leading a cell group for 1 year and a month, of course, there are a lot of learning through these days.I've learn to love'em, to cover'em, to back'em up, to teach'em and to discipline'em. These all are the process for a cell leader leading a group.

For so long I've been leading them, thank God, a talented leader rise up! Wei Jia! My talented leader in my cell group! Haha! He is funny and nice, he love God deeply in his heart and his dream is to be a pastor in the future! He told me if God wants him to be a pastor, he will be a pastor! Oh yeah! Hallelujah! What a great obedience this is! I really thank God for I have such a good cell member in my group.

In the other case, there is 3 cell members of mine who are from the Victory House, due to some incident, they have to apart from my cell. This message is just announce during previous Saturday's leader meeting. Well, I have to admit this, I am sad, I cried. I really feel sad and down when I know they are going to apart from my cell group, I have already disciple them in the process, and I am going to help them to grow into more mature in Christ, but just 1 announcement, totally crash everything I had planned for them. Well, at least I don't take it is bad (thank to ZK & ZB comfort me).

And then guess what? During cell group time, when I just prepare getting started, Chih San bring me 2 cell members whom are actually Louis' members, because of Louis' absent, I have to take care of them, well, is OK with me, so I take it.
Then after knowing each other (like new friends come), then we started to pay some games, during the process, there is a man bringing 2 kids entered Machpelah, they saw no one there except me. Then I notice they are like looking for something, and I approach them after Han Yuan did.
I asked:"How can I help you? In who's cell group you are?"

Russell(elder brother):"We got no cell group, can we join yours?"

Me:"Oh yes! Sure sure! Come and join us!"

Wow! This is awesome! God response to my heart and my spirit! And He responsible for my loss! (What I think is a loss and actually is not a loss in God)

My new members' name are Russell & Wesley. Russell is elder and Wesley is younger. Their age is 14 and 12. Well I love to see Russell's smile, he had his smily face all the time. Wesley looks nice too when he smile, but he smile less than Russell did because he not quite understand Chinese, well, thank God I know English! Hahaha!!

Praise the Lord!

My new slogan:
Do not depress when thing seems hopeless or impossible, believe in God, because God is hope for the hopeless and He do things seems impossible in man!

当在我们面前的事情看起来不可能的时候，不要失望，相信神，因为神就是“专门”做一些人认为不可能的事情！

Our God is a big God!

Angels & Demons, a nice movie!

The movie: Angels & Demons.

Before I watch this movie, I thought this is a series of movie which is like the Davinci Code, means is some kind of movie trying to confuse people in Christianity. But my sister told me is not. Well then, I go watch this movie with my brother as usual.
Oh yeah, it is really different than Davinci Code, although Tom Hanks do not trust things are actually in God's plan and He sent him to save the people in Vatican, but at last, still, he had to believe =)

I will not much talk about this movie, so just watch it yourself and share the feeling today will ya? Hehehe

卧虎藏龙，谁来挑战？

中国人说，卧虎藏龙者，必是天山高人也。
听了顿时愣了一会儿，那我岂不是要住在天山？哈哈...不是在自夸啦...只是有些时候没事做，想起以前刚信主的自己... (讲故事了) -.-

想起从前，我也曾经试过单纯，并不是现在不单纯，只是现在的我比单纯还要上一个等级，即卧虎藏龙。从前，无论家人怎么反对，无论家人怎么逼迫，我都要去教会。虽然明知道我踏出家门口过后，我婆婆就会打电话去给我姑姑说三道四，说我又出去教会，而我姑姑也加盐加醋、唯恐天下不乱...这样一来，我心底其实就已经知道晚点回家就不会好过了.. 可是这也没有办法，我爱主，这是不能掩饰的真相。然而怎么样呢？我很记得牧师曾经说过，上帝一定会为我们的生命负责到底，因为上帝爱我们，为我们死而复活。最重要的是，耶稣不会让自己的血枉流的。所以那段日子的逼迫，渐渐的我学会了化悲愤、憎恨、压逼感、家人压力、闲言闲语、辱骂、误会、仇恨为力量！我家人越逼迫我，越给我压力，骂我越多，我就更相信耶稣会帮助我！现在回想，原来我的信心是在那段日子被主训练出来的。

我的信心不是只是在家庭的方面，这信心其实已经成为主给我的一个自然力量，让我能够随时运用这从上帝而来的信心来做成许多人认为不可能的事情。记得在国家服务(NS)的时候，我大大地经历上帝的同在。我认为是环境影响，但也因为环境的关系，让我更多经历上帝。

我在NS的日子是我这一生都不会忘记的。神的话语说，我们要活出基督的样式，好让别人看得出我们是耶稣的门徒。我第一天去NS的时候，在巴士上认识了几个人，然后有一位突然问我一个问题:"Are you a Christian?" 我们是用英文交谈，我就直接说:"Yeah I am, how do u know that?" , "I can tell that you are." 哇..我顿时兴奋起来，就跟那个人传福音。在巴士上就跟2个人传福音，虽然都没有信主，但是我非常喜乐，因为那是我的training ground.
到了NS Camp Site，分了A, B, C, D 四个组之后，就回房间休息。冲凉过后就在床上，没穿衣服的，躺在那儿读圣经，读到累了，就直接拿着圣经睡了。两天过后，指挥官就对每个人说每一组要选一位Group Leader，明显的..我被选上了。当我得到Group Leader的身份之后，我退让给另外一个马来朋友，然后我做Assistant Leader。没有原因。
然后我的团体日渐变大了。我的团体就是我的gang, 当然不是黑社会咯...我们是反黑社会的团体，因为里面有黑社会的关系嘛...到我离开NS的日子，我的团体，马来人、华人和印度人，包括男女，总共有60多70人。我的NS Camp有大概500人，所以其实有10%以上的人在我以下了。

说了那么久，到底我在NS里面经历什么东西让我那么难忘呢？我也不想写到那么仔细...就是神让我经历了大能：
1. 某天我朋友无端端得了皮肤病，不知道什么病来的，医生开药给他吃也没效。过后我放胆去为他按手祷告，过了3天，他病就退去了。可是他却不信是神医治了他。

2. 在Christian Fellowship的时候，我为一个生病的女生按手祷告，无意中打破属灵空间，祷告出一个医治释放的祷告文。那个女生痛哭一场。然后经过身旁朋友的应证，有一个黑色影子从那个女生的身上跑出去。

3. 我进NS的那段日子是年头，所以天气异常的日。我想起Elijah说过，若不祷告，就不下雨。认识我的人都知道我是不能忍受太日的天候。然后某一天我就禁食祷告，祈求下午的时候会下雨。我们当天操步的时间是2:30分，是一个非常炎日的时候，我不能够忍受，我就祈求上帝说2:30分一定要倾盆大雨。怎知事情往往在眼前看起来不可能。在2:15分的时候，天空仍然蔚蓝，太阳保持炎日。可是我当时的信心却不允许我有一点的松懈，我继续祷告。2:16...17...20...25的时候！忽然刮起大风，天忽然黑了，还打雷！准准2:30分，倾盆大雨！哈利路亚！
(这事情不只是发生过一次而已...大概连续3到4天都发生同样的事情..)

4. 当我在那儿等候神的时候，我听见天使在歌唱。我顿时就拿起纸和笔，把那首歌的Chorus写了下来。感谢神，我在NS的时候总共写了2首歌

5. 类似第3的事情。可是我求的不是倾盆大雨，而是阵阵的微风。神也成就了。

6. 这是最后，也是最不可思议的。当我正式被批准离开营的前2天。天气突然异常的日，就连我祷告，上帝也仿佛没有回应，而且还刮热风，令我体内的热气忽然上腾，忍不住”送“了铁衣橱一拳，把那可怜的铁衣橱打歪了。可是我没有埋怨上帝，我照样祷告。怎知天气还是那样热，直到我要进去那边的clinic休息，因为那边有冷气。谁知道，我在那便休息到出汗！........
直到晚上我也睡不着，然后我去找指挥官。刚好第二天有外来的医生入营替学员看病，他就安排我去看那个医生了。第二天一大清早，我就走到clinic那儿，等医生。医生见到我，自己也吓着了，她说她从来没有看过这样的皮肤，思索了一会儿，她说她直接批我出营，以后也不用再回来了。
当我走出clinic的时候，我发现整个天空布满了云，就连太阳的光线都没有，还刮起阵阵的微风。哇！我顿时举头赞美神！

原来神在告诉我一个非常明显的信息，就是我的训练完毕了！可以回家了！哇哈哈！实在感动呢！

然后我从神领受的祝福与恩膏越发增多！直到神开启了我的眼睛，4月份成为实习小组长，10月份成为敬拜队主领，12月份正式被按立成为组长。这一切一切都是从神来的祝福！

倘若现在我被问，我的信心大到什么地步，我看，就连我自己也不清楚了....

Little knowing in my hometown

Been to my home town few days ago, my eyes totally opened as can see on my previous post. Well, now just share a little bit of my hometown. My hometown is just border of Thailand. Can't believe it? Me either! Haha! I was so shock when i saw the road sign of Thailand once i reached there, here is the pic =)



Shock? Haha...
And not only that le... I found that the cave I always been there and played, is also a tourism place, quite some tourism guide leads tourist to the cave, and the cave's name is:



And there is also something I wonder whether I've been there before or not de leh...hmm...--->



Keke^^...
and then finally the name of the my village is...



Phone quality not that good...so dark in colour loo..... hehe^^

My days return to village

It's 9pm now, it has been 6 hours I reach my hometown. Views in this place really remind me of my old days, while I was a kid in age around 0 to 2 and a half. Happy moments remain, but the view has changed. The old fruit tree has been chopped, the fruit in the tree cannot be found in the city, it is really nice and sweet. Although the fruit is just very small, but it contains a lot of juice! Wow...really miss that tree and wonder who chopped it.

I believe a child's eye(mind) always need to open. But how? It depends. The street did not change much, but when I passing by, I saw outside each and every houses and shop lots are set up with an idol outside. How can this be?? Isn't there a single Christian living here? Seems like there is none! None a single Christian living here! Then how can God's presence fill in this place??

Note*: Don't ever try to say without Christian, God's presence still can flow over the place.

God really opened up my eyes this time! We used to say, this city and that city need the revival of God, here and there need the revival of God! But how?? We can't even do a single tiny thing! We say this is because that place need God's presence and there is salvation needed in that very place. But how about village? There is 60,000,000,000+ population of people on the earth, and 50% of them are youngster and 50% of them are inside college, secondary school, primary school and universities! But is not my topic for this post. But the most important thing is, village need salvation more than the cities do. Amen?

Day by days, a second that we passing of, we don't know that actually people whom living in the village is walking into Hades(Hell). No one knows, no one care...

So people, village people needs salvation more than the people living in the city. The salvation is just right in front of the people whom live in the city, but salvation seems lost out in front of the eye of villagers.

I feel really sad for those old people living in the village................

We love, because God first loved us!

John 4:18-19
18. There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

19. We love because he first loved us.

20. If anyone says, "I love God," yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen.

21. And he has given us this command: Whoever loves God must also love his brother.
_____________________________________________________________________________________

For God's word is the source of every power are from. But many people don't know this is actually just 1 purpose from God, He LOVES us.

People in this world, in the society thinks that love is something that we can trade with each other, just for own purpose and needs. That isn't called love, that is called love that has a broken cell. Why say so? In the word of God says,

"There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love."

See? The word of God stated very clearly, there is no fear in love, and love drives out fear. I believe nowadays kids always face a very incorrect education system in their house. Their parents will only compliment or reward them once they achieve something which please their parents. If they could not achieve, they will only receive negative comments or maybe punishment from their parents, but not receive any encouragement from them. Why does this kind of education system exist in family? Isn't family is as known as Father And Mother I LOVE You?

"We love because He first loved us."

The word of God once again tells us, the only way we can love people, loving each other, is because God first loved us! Is the same if change the situation back inside a family. How can we say I Love You to our parents if our parents shows us no love? Or maybe love in conditions, it's vice-versa, we will love our parents in conditions. This is wrong! Love shouldn't be like that! Because there should be no fear in love, there should be no condition in love! If people trying to say that,:"Hey, we are no God, we aren't Jesus Christ, how can we do what Jesus do?" Then I will tell you, you were wrong, doesn't we know that we will achieve bigger things than what Jesus did in this mortal world? AMEN?

This is why people in this society are lack of love, care, hope and encouragement. Because their parents did not show them what is the true meaning of love & caring. They show no hope because their parents did not set a good example for them. Not only that, they always discourage them.

But there is always hope for us, because God is among us! Amen! God is doing great things and a very very big plan of revolution in this vary generation. This generation we're living is vary because we live in God's plan. And this project name is called Love. God wants to put love in our heart.

He is doing this great thing in this generation. Thus, how can we work with God? How can we walk with God in this plan? this is very simple.

"If anyone says, "I love God," yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen.

And he has given us this command: Whoever loves God must also love his brother."

See? God has already shown His big plan and project that He wants to do since the day of Peter! I know this is written by John, but this plan had been planned during Simon Peter's day or even much more earlier than it. Remember what Simon Peter ask Jesus? He ask that if one of his brother offended him, how many times he should forgive him? And what Jesus replied? 70 of 7 times! Jesus is not only trying to tell us to forgive a person for 490 times, but the true meaning of Jesus is, He wants us to forgive that person completely no matter how many times the person had offended us. This is LOVE.

Therefore only we can love our brother & sister in church. If we cannot even love them, do not dare yourself to say that we love God. If we cannot love someone who exist before us, how can we love God that exist but we cannot seen? This is the truth in the Kingdom of God.

Amen,
Paul Yap.

Funny 51 Family Day

Today is GA611 first organized family day on 1st of May, same day as the Labor Day. Not much people attended, but I believe there are people whom enjoyed the day. Well, at least I enjoyed. It is funny yet exciting.

Not going to type how's the day going on from the beginning, but I just enjoy the whole day with a non-competitive heart. Means win or not is not important, most importantly we did our very best in the process of the game. I dunno what the others have in their mind, but I always think like this whenever I'm in a game.

Well there are 12 Teams, I think this 12 is came from the source of 12 disciples. Haha!! Church mar, should be biblical. LoL. And I see my team do their best on each and every session of game, they practice a lot before the game starts, and although we lost in some particular games, opps, not lost, just cannot achieve the first place in the game, but then they don't seems like they are disappointed or anything else, some still laughing over there. Haha!! Proud of my team, Sky Blue Team! Yeah! =D

There is total of 7 games we played. As I know, out of 7 games, at least 3 or 4 games we're in number 5th, means the last one, got no idea about what is the result for the other games because I dun really care =P

And then until the most exciting time, which is the moment of awards. They only give the award for the 1st runner up and the champ. The 1st runner up is Reverend Esther's team, really impressed on that team, because that team got no youth, and it is just adults and children. Cool~~

Then when award for the champ, it is really freezing. Guess what? When they announce like this,:" 我们今天冠军得主是...Sky Blue Team! 我们请 Sky Blue Team 上来领奖."......After they announce, our team all like blur blur, and no one response to the announcement. Then each and everyone of us looking at each other, in our mind we like thinking,"is it us?". Of course I'm included in the blur-ness, because I also looking at them and looking at the other team thinking why there is no team go up and receive the award? Then suddenly I think...Blue Sky..? Us???? Wow??? Then I stood up and shout, "Oi！ 起来拿奖咯！" Then everyone's face emotions are like, oh ya?? really?? let's go! Haahhaa!! So funny!! Then everyone laugh!! Haha!! It was so funny and unexpected!! Well...can I say it's God's grace? Hehehehe!! =D

Funny 51 Family Day! =D

Oh ya, our prize is GA611 BOL Cap. Not bad at all! =P
