On the previous post, I seems like quite emo about Joshua's impression to me....although I end my previous blog with requesting readers to pray for Joshua on his ministry, his spiritual life & etc...I juz don't know why I'm requesting this...and I didn't ask God why...I'm juz doing it by following my feeling... And I know my feeling is not wrong...and just obey what God touch me in my heart...And then today...I think I got an answer for my sudden request...Reverend Esther today announce that Joshua has joined in the co-worker team !! Wow !! I'm awake on that time ! So this is all the confirmation that why God asked us to treasure Joshua, telling me that Joshua is the one who God place in our Praise & Worship Team's Musician/Vocal Leader !! This is the final reason and answer !! I don't know whether the others have the same thought as I'm having right now...
What makes me really touch is...God really love Joshua a lot. Today Reverend Esther just share a little conversation between her and Pastor Adino from HongKong 611, our mother church. Pastor Adino was trying to say that," I'll grab Joshua come to our Praise and Worship Team !" but Reverend Esther say this," Never ! Don't ever think this will work !" Hah ! See !! This is the another confirmation that God is placing Joshua in GA611 until the end of the earth !!!
Hey guys ! Especially Praise & Worship Team, treasure what Joshua thought us, because he have the permission from God to do that, he has the authority from God to do that. No matter what way he is trying to tell us out the problem we have, either soft way or hard way, we have to keep still and stand still there and listen!! DO NOT HAVE YOUR OWN STYLE EVEN YOU'RE A PROFESSIONAL, OBEY YOUR LEADER AND YOU'LL BE BLESSED !!
Well...actually now I'm quite in a emo...but however...as long as I'm still OK.. so should be nothing.This time I juz want to say out the feeling in my heart about a person...the person who I respect much and always try to have a more good relationship with him....Joshua Chong...I can't remember when I know him since I came to GA611 BOL Church..but still remember the 1st day I went to Calvin's CG which brought by Terrie secretively....And then....the same....just like the new comers nowadays...kind of blur and dunno what to say and share inside the CG....but what attract me and makes me still coming back on that time....seriously...is Joshua's laughing voice...really.. If u ask me now, what makes me keep on going to CG last time, I would say is the laughing voice of Joshua...haha...sounds like kind of weirdo ? nah...it's not that what u think =.="And then nowadays...or can say...10 months ago...I found out something....actually...I'm not really close to him only... Although my heart always try to have a real buddy buddy kind of relationship with him like how KC, Dan and Long Zhai used to....but seems like it's quiet hard for us...dunno y also...maybe we're different antenna ? hmm...In other way of it...he is the leader of our Youth Praise & Worship Team...really...he teach us a lot..from 0 to 50..from 50 to 75....I believe it will from 75 to 99 soon....I'll never believe there's 100..cuz there is no one perfect..but as long as he is always try to make us good and he is also forced to be the "bad guy" in front us and like scolding us...always like very serious before us...but I know...God have a destiny in his life...and I once prayed for him last time....and there is a picture pop-out in front my eye and I just saw he is leading a team, a group of Youth conquering from a mountain to another mountain...but I dun know what it means....maybe is conquering by Praise & Worships ? only God knows..So just now....we have a small discussion like before....but this time God speak to me..He said this to me...."Paul, look at this situation now, do u think Joshua is trying to give u guys a lesson ?""Yes I think so." I replied"No my child, see it properly, it's not from him, but from me.""huh ?""Don't you remember I told you before that this Praise & Worship Team is different and I wanna use it ? If I don't place Joshua in this situation, how can I form a team of my will ?"".....ok.""So my child, praise God for Joshua is placed in this situation, and I'm working on this team via him."
Dad continues
"Remember what I've told you before my child, keep it inside your heart...And actually you don't need to have any question in your heart, because u always already have an answer inside and I'm the one who give you the answer.....what you need to do is ACTION."Just like that....the conversation between me n God finished...At the mean time Joshua also started a prayer and ended the discussion....Well guys who reading this, no matter you know Joshua or not, please pray for Joshua ! For he have the enough strength before God and use by God !!But I ensure a thing is, Joshua's reward is greater than ever thought !! Amen !!
Hohoho~!This is a nice one to share ! Breastplate of Righteousness !!
What Righteousness means ?
--> Justification: The act of God whereby humankind is made or accounted just, or free from guilt or penalty of sin.So this is why we have we equip the Breastplate of Righteousness on our chest/body. To have the SEAL of free from guilt or penalty of sin AND bring the same blessing to the others who you care the most around u or in your life. I don't think I'm going to make any example about this but just try to share out something else. Alright, what did the bible says ? Romans 1:17, a very familiar scripture known by Christian, 16I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 17For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: "The righteous will live by faith."See the last word? THE RIGHTEOUS WILL LIVE BY FAITH !!
Maybe u'll ask this,"Paul, what is this all related to the breastplate ? just pray and wear it LA ! Sure as u said, there will be the righteousness of God come upon us and let us live free !" Yeah yeah...I don't deny it that the righteousness of God will come upon us...there is always a BUT for this, know why ? Cuz Habakkuk 2:4 "but the righteous will live by his faith" Mongolia is the prophet Habakkuk and God's inspiration. At that time, the Prophet Habakkuk complaint to the God of Judah to be aggressive at the end of the Chaldeans, they emerge evil, God has allowed them to violations of God's voters, it seems unreasonable. But God has his wonderful plan, he invaded Judah in the enemy country, the conservative who have sufficient confidence in the God of voters, those voters still have confidence in the survival and a safe.So at the end, summary u can see by like thisFAITH comes to RIGHTEOUSNESS comes to FREE FROM GUILT OR PENALTY OF SIN
Alright guys....this is what I've receive and learned so far about The Armor of God...so if there is anything that u felt it's mistaken or what, comment to me k...Special for GA's (God's Army) brothers and sisters, some of us may thought that why do we need to do a prayer of equipping The Armor of God every morning when we wake up or sometimes be4 Praise and Worship Team started practice....So now I'll try to explain some of the reason...(of course, if u wanted to know the exactly teaching about this, the best so far is go and ask Reverend Esther ^^" )Alright, Helmet of Salvation !! what is this ? why should we call it a helmet ? why not a buckler or a boot ? Firstly, what is Salvation means ? 1.) it means, the Deliverance from the power or penalty of sin2.) the state of being saved or protected from harmOk my dear bro & sis, so u guys understood that meaning of Salvation? But why must we put in on as a helmet? Very simple.... If one day, u and your friends get lost in a shopping mall, i ensure that the first thing u do is go and look for them right? But how r u going to recognize them? By their Body Glove T-Shirt or a Nike sport shoe ? What if there is another same people wearing the same suit? You'll wrong on recognizing isn't it ? And then how do u feel when u're wrong on recognizing? Cuz I sure that the way u greet ur buddy is not...Hi, are u Alex? No ! U'll say this, " Hey buddy ! where have you guys been ! You know, I were looking for u from the west to east , south to...." Before you finish ur word, then only u recognize that u've wrong. - A Shame has occur.So my brother & sister, this is the reason u put the Helmet of Salvation on your head. Cuz if u looking for someone who u really care for, u'll directly look at their face, which is on their HEAD !!A simple testimony for you guys, which is the first day i went to National Service.On the early morning, as usual, I pray for equipping The Armor Of God. During the time I'm inside the bus, and know a new friend inside the bus, and then we start chatting. On the beginning we're juz chit-chat a little bit, nothing much. And then suddenly he asked me this," R u a chinese Christian?" I stunned on that time. Because on that time I'm wearing a cross, but I purposely hide in inside my shirt, which I confirm the others cant see it. So since God has opened a way for me, I grab the chance to spread the Gospel of God with the new friend.See bro & sis, Helmet of Salvation which put on ur head is represents HOPE, a HOPE for the mankind to see that their sins in their life can deliverance thru the Salvation of Christ !! And this is the HELMET OF SALVATION !!
Introduction of the up coming blogs:10Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. 12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
Hey bro & sis out there who reading my blog right now, i just watch the latest Narnia episode today with my church's bro & sis , Prince Caspian . Ow....about what I feel about the movie....great...it's totally great and nice !! I'm touched by the movie greatly.....by the Spirit of God...
Hmm....let's not too spiritual first , first of all I just wanna tell that he story is good and urmm....yeah , it's quite interesting and different from the first episode of Narnia . This time , the True King of Narnia , Aslan just showed up himself during the almost ending time , but middle and beginning of the story, is just far of expected and it's good and interesting !
Alright , time to share what did I learn from this movie.....just little bit but it's already more than enough...
During the scene, there is a scene that King Peter and Prince Caspian leading the Narnians to attack their enemies and trying to get a revenge of Prince Caspian's uncle . When the Narnians attack, King Peter shouted " For Narnia !!" ; Then the other scene , King Peter lead his troop back to a counter attack the the force army of the enemy , he shout this ," For Aslan !!" Ok....stop right here....as I just remember this 2 scene which King Peter shouted...
Do you guys realize what I trying to share ? Christians , do you guys get it what I mean ?
Ok....I'll explain...let's take a look at this way alright ? Do you really have the passion to lead God's Army and fight for God's Kingdom and His name when u shouted 'Yes God, I'll fight for You and it's all about You !! ' Do you really mean it while u say this ?
C'mon guys !! FIGHT FOR HIM !! FIGHT FOR HIS GLORY !! FIGHT FOR HIS NAME !! HIS KINGDOM !! And then when we having a spiritual warfare with the demons, we can shout like this without any suspicious feeling , FOR JESUS !! FOR KING ZION !! FOR JEHOVAH !!! AMEN !!
hmmm.....okay....what i wanna post dis time....it's been a long long time i dint post any....cuz of i dun think i need to post any adi....but juz keep inside my memory...haha....well , seems like I've wrong , i should store some here.....
Hmm...alright , let's begin on March...this month is really a month that lift me to another level...being an Intern Cell Leader...!! WoW ! this news shocks me when i heard this ! Although I dun have any much big expression...but in my heart.....feels really cool for me , and I always keep inside my mind " I am already a leader , no more kiddo." And that's pretty cool for me...!! haha !!
And there's go April....9th , my birthday....18th birthday !! Yeeeee Haaaa!!! hahaha !!! well , that day was actually not that fun though....too bad cuz that day is Wednesday....and everyone has to go to school....or either work...if not....hehe...i can ask many buddies of mine like Joshua....Daniel....Terence...ZiKang....them all out for movies or go some where else....but God is good to me , I have a brother of mine who just came back from NS (on that time)...KC !! haha !! He is the oldest friend i keep for so long....hmm....already 6 years knowing him...really a best friend of mine....truly is....he accompany me to go to MV(although is quite boring for him , cuz he always go) , but he still accompany me...really appreciate that...accompany me to watch movie...walk around...eat....whole day time...haha....great...may God Bless my dearest brother , KC !
But there's something unhappy happen on that day too....it's really hard to forget what happen on that day.....April 9th....after having fun time at MV...we separated and go home...and i get down the bus at Asia Jaya LRT station...and plan to walk home . When i walking home , there is a china man came to me and beg me for some money to eat cuz his wallet is already empty and his money will delivered to his bank account on the next day , so he asked me to borrow him some money and then he will return it to me the next day... But that time he is wearing office suit and look like he is trying to lie me off or something...i juz simply give him 2 dollars and tell him doesn't need to pay me back anymore (as in my mind , i think that he is trying to lie my money). So he asked me a question , "is 2 dollars enough ?" And then i just answered him like very cool or something ," Eat from your heart and u will full." after that , i walk away..... Walao eh ! What is in my mind that time ??? Who I think i am ?? my Lord Jesus ??? turn 2 dollars to 200 ? or 2,000 ??? Or think that is it really possible 2 dollar can feed the man full ?? I'm just being too selfish !! I shouldn't do that to that man !! And after that when i realize that actually God wants to use me as a vessel to help that man...i repent... I run back to the LRT station and look for that guy....until the day get dark....i couldn't find that guy anymore...but what i can do is juz pray for that man...
Look my bro & sis , God did give me a present on that day but because of I'm being selfish and small hearted , I denied the present....but God still let me learn a lesson....BE AWAKE ANYTIME AS GOD WILL CALL YOU TO DO SOMETHING U HAD NEVER THOUGHT OF IT !!
So...this is what happen on me this past months....and there is also a big change of me in the spiritual realm....I'm started to hunger for prayers....burden for prayers....burden in preaching the word of God...but this all i also don't wanna tell my leader first....or unless they read this by themselves....because i dun think this is the time for me to tell it out that i have such a burden of preaching the word of God...and Yes...i did have a prophetic dream before as i saw myself standing on GA Youth's stage a preach the word of God....but only God knows when is the time to come....only God...only He knows......and although I'm hoping and hunger for it...which means I'm still like before...never change...always hope to have more equip....teaching...lessons from my leaders and church...more and more and more ! Until I'm qualified and i know the word of God much and much and clear !! So that I can preach the word of God without any mistaken made or any others dis understanding preach !
So now , I already catch the Key of A Great Leader in this generation like Pst Jaeson Ma, Pst Philip Mantofa, and of coz also David kor and Calvin kor , and the Key is --> PRAYER
So now i just start with prayers.....30 minutes to 1 hour per day.....And I also know why those great man who used by God in the old days and nowadays can pray up to 3 or 4 hours per day !! And there is actually a secret or i can say there is a format !! It's really really really easy to do it ! Want to know it ? Hehe , come and ask me =P
