Take the shackles off my feet so I can dance
I just wanna praise You
I just wanna praise You
You broke the chains, now I can lift my hands
And I'm gonna praise You
I'm gonna praise You

In the corners of mind
I just can't seem to find a reason to believe
That I can break free
'Cause you see I have been down for so long
Feel like all hope is gone
But as I lift my hands, I understand
That I should praise You through my circumstance

Everything that could go wrong
All went wrong at one time
So much pressure fell on me
I thought I was gonna lose my mind
But I know You wanna see
If I will hold on through these trials
But I need You to lift this load
'Cause I can't take it no more

Been through the fire and the rain
Bound in every kind of way
But God has broken every chain
So let me go

While i was on the bus,God revealed this to me which i think made a lot of sense.
There are many reason why people backslided from God, 1 of the more popular reason is that the Bible is a contradiction of itself, for example now it says this, then later it say another entirely different thing and how is it suppose to be any help when its cannot back itself up, which is TOTALLY not true.
See the Bible is like a 101 survival guide, therefore it will have all the millions of combination of verse and phrase to form yet another million solution for 1 same scenario that different people are facing.
Then you ask how do we know the answer, that is where the Holy Spirit comes in, He will provide a path out of the many for us, for the plans he had made for every1 is different but will all be for our best.
But the thing is we ourself choose not to follow it for many reason,which im sure we will all face at 1 point of time, therefore when we try to find another path out which is not possible at all or which will lead to a deadend
Then we are stuck between following God which might be painful sometimes or following our own path which is what God Never intended for us.
Then we go back to the why nonsense why God does not want to help me and what happened to the almighty Word of God, when we in the 1st place nvr choose to accept it.
See the whole picture? That is why it is very important that when we choose to give up our life and let our Father guide us, when we ask Him for help make sure that you are ready for whatever answer He gives you although it might seem impossible but rmb He who made all things had alr known you b4 you were even created therefore KNOW that he has alr all the plans for you.
Basically thats all hope this will come in handy and always read your Bible +)

Long before I watched this video on www.tangle.com, I already knew that busy-ness was one of Satan's schemes to keep us away from being in full communion with our Holy God. However, just now as I was watching this video, it was like a reminder to myself that we have really been too busy for our own good.

One part that particularly spoke to me was 3:05, which says 'Even in their recreation, let them be excessive. Have them return from their recreation exhausted.' As I read this line, I wonder, what is the true meaning of rest? I was in a Tenet class last week, and Pastor Dennis said this, 'We all need to learn to rest. Many of us think that resting is sitting on the couch and watching TV is resting, but many of us do not realise that playing is hard work!' And it's true, many of us do not know what true rest is. Let me give you an example. If someone is stressed out over work, he/she takes a vacation. The vacation is supposed to allow him/her to rest. But when he/she comes back, he/she takes one more day leave from work to rest from the vacation before going back to work!

And so I can't help but wonder, what is the true meaning of rest? What comes to mind is Psalm23.

PSALM 23
1 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,

3 he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.

4 Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.

6 Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
forever.

V1 'The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want'. In school, are you found wanting in terms of results? In the workplace, are you found wanting in terms of promotions? How many of us dare to fully trust God with our grades and promotions? How many of us would be found receiving a bad grade and praising God for it, knowing full well that He is in control? Now I am not saying that we should all be complacent in our studies/work, I encourage all of us to do our best in these areas. Rather, what I am saying is this, how many of us fully understand the power of God in our lives? How many of us trust God with it? Or are we found striving? Are we found wanting? Striving for more of worldly success, or wanting more worldly riches? Again, we come back to the topic of sensuality, which I shall not say more, having written my thoughts in earlier posts. Friends, today allow me to charge you. Dare to trust God fully with your life. Dare to be strong and courageous even in wanting times, even in times of trials and confusion. Dare to trust God. Notice the term is 'I shall not be in need', but it is 'I shall not be in want'. This speak volumes of our priorities when it comes to living our lives. Te Bible tells us that as long as we have food on our tables and clothes on our bodies, we ought to be content. Everything else that comes is a blessing from God. Do not be found wanting, my friend, for you are well taken care of. Your author of your life knows your beginning and your end, and He has everything well taken care of.

V2(a) 'He makes me lie down in green pastures'. Physically speaking, does anyone have to teach us how to lie down? Does anyone have to be forced to lie down? The answer is NO. All of us were born in a lying down position, unless you were born standing up, which is highly impossible. But in the spiritual realm, do we have to be taught how to lie down? The Psalmist David wrote of the Lord that He MADE him lie down. How many of us have to be made to lie down in God's presence today? How many of us dare not even lie down in God's presence for a minute. Too busy with worldly things to do that? Friends, learn today to lie down in God's presence. Learn today to bask in the fullness of God's beauty. It's a wonder how we need to learn to lie down and allow God to refresh us. Nut nonetheless, my friend, learn.

V3(b) 'He guides me in paths of righteousness'. Righteousness is one of the names of God. Jehovah-Tsidkenu: The Lord our righteousness, found in Jeremiah 23:6. Many of us today are found wanting in our schools, striving just to be top, to gain recognition, to obtain our 'best for ourselves'. Friend, let it be known to you that your self-worth is not based on what you can do, but on who you are, and you are a child of God. Need I say more? You have been forgiven and blessed by the only one who could condemn you. Instead of chasing after worldly wealth, chase after the righteousness of God. The righteousness of God brings forth favor. And when you walk in the favor of God, you will walk in the favor of man.

It's currently the March holidays, and it's holidays for me too, waiting to go into Ngee Ann Polytechnic to start a new season of my life. And as I look back, I wonder, how have I been spending this holiday? Have I used it well to rest and be recharged by the Holy Spirit? If you are having your holiday now, use it well. Learn what it means to truly rest in God's presence. Many of us seek temporal enjoyment, going to the movies, or 'sweating it out', or playing computer games etc. Not that all these things are no good, I myself enjoy doing all these. But is this truly resting? or are these just temporal get-aways? Just something that allows you to temporarily forget reality. What's the difference between this and getting drunk, taking drugs etc.? Don't seek temporal get-aways, my friends. It leaves many of us more exhausted than before, and then we need to 'rest'.

And now onto sleep, is sleeping really resting? We speak of getting 8 hours of sleep, to ensure getting enough rest. But won't some of us testify that sometimes sleeping leaves you more tired and sleepy than before? I'm sure many of us have snoozed the alarm clock in the morning, or requested for '5 more minutes' when someone tries to wake us up. I believe if we had truly rested in our sleep, none of these would actually happen. We'd all be so refreshed we get off our beds instantly with joy, ready to embark on the new day! But unfortunately, it doesn't happen often.

What then, is true resting? Personally, I get recharged whenever I enter into the inner courts to meet with God. Every time I enter into God's presence and commune with Him, I find myself recharged and re-energised. And so, to me, resting is about waiting upon the Lord, to simply adore and love Him for who He is, and then for God to love me in a tangible way in return. Rev. Kenneth E. Hagin was a Pastor in the United States. It was known from his son, Jr Kenneth E. Hagin, that there was a period of time that Rev. Kenneth E. Hagin did not physically sleep for a few months. At night, he would be found praying and studying Scripture. And when his son asked him, Rev. Hagin would answer, 'The Holy Spirit will refresh me'. Now that is something I want to experience myself! Again, not that sleeping is no good, but when it takes a certain priority in your life, you know you better sort out your life. True resting is about basking in God's presence, worshiping Him in praise and song, about communicating with Him.

I have shared this with a few people, to whom God allows me to. I don't know when this started, but it has dawned upon me that either I just don't care, or I am just not sentimental, or that I trust God a lot, and I think it's the latter. Many people think my life has no problems as a result. Haha, not true! In fact, in recent times I have been through many ups and downs, I hardly share with anyone though. But even through these times of tribulations, I testify that I did not feel stressed/upset whatsoever. I simply felt peace. And it's a wonderful feeling, to just be at peace no matter what happens. "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:6-7) I hold firmly to this verse, which says a lot about letting go and letting God. Truly, dear reader, it is so important to allow the peace of God to guard our hearts and minds. You won't fully understand this until you do it. So go do it.

Rest well, my friend.

'I will lie down and sleep in peace, for you alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.' (Psalm 4:8)


Your faithfullness endures always
Where mountains fall and reason fails
And You calm the raging seas
And You calm the storms in me, again

All I know is I find rest in You
All I know is I find rest in You

My heart will praise throughout the night
Where singing seems a sacrifice
Your grace is all I need
Your grace is all I need

Sunday morning cell

All right; time for another episode of the CELL TIMES! Hehe; Kidding >.< 

But seriously; this week was once again ultra fun and interesting because we had the arrival of the GEE-NAHS! Yep; there was POOFY (Adriel), Fredrick, Eugene, and Barnabas (a.k.a. Ninja; Garfield; Barney- please wait while the cell Nickname Committee finalises their decision). Unfortunately; not all our beloved GEE-NAHS were able to join us due to various reasons; so we will be looking forward to the following week when they make their honoured appearance.

This week; cell was held on Sunday morning, at Powerbase; because we just started our holidays! So all 11 of us squeezed into this ultra cosy room; where we played BATTLEGROUND; this gel I came up with to begin cell. On one end of the room; with Net, Poofy and Kangaroo defending the framed picture (a.k.a the “PROMISE LAND”) behind them with crushed paper balls as their only ammo, and the rest advancing from the other end of the room for the prize; otherwise their doom; should any paper ball hit them; just once. I thought they being the bigger group consisting of Barnabas, Fredrick, Dan Yeow; Mocca, Cheryl, Odi, Faith and Eugene would somehow devise some kind of strategy to win; but I guess it didn’t work. All died from being stuck by paper balls accept Cheryl; who bravely took 4 steps forward and died courageously too. What did that illustrate? Paper balls: aka sin; past; temptation the enemy may toss our way. See; that guy can’t do anything to touch us; but he sure can throw his ammo to block our paths and cause us to fall. Which is how (I think we all understand here: the fall of man occurred) But thank God; who so loved us; that we’ve got more than one life against those paper balls when we advance in His battle with His strength. Of course; it took that step of courage first; so my game could also otherwise be known as, “the CROSSOVER”.

Then Odi lead us in glorify; and Mocca shared his testimony of his poly life; how he used to “smoke” stuff (I mean this metaphorically)for his papers; how he’d choke down 10 hardcore chapters for an exam the next day; how our grades could bank on our project group mates as well; but how God saw him through anyway. Yeah; we all agreed; poly life was a whole new ball game from secondary school; but with God’s focus; we’ll  not only survive it; we’ll enjoy it. We then worshipped God with the song “Still”, played by Dan Yeow on the guitar; and really became still in God’s presence.

Net then lead us in grow on VIPS- Vibrant Atmosphere; Incredible Unity; Passionate Heartbeat; Strategic Leadership; inviting us to suggest on how we could work towards it as a cell. It was at this point; when Bro Andrew joined us and loomed over Barnabas’s shoulder as he innocently explained what Strategic leadership meant to him in reference to his leaders. Bro Andrew then proceeded to add; before scooting off; that we are all in strategic positions by God; Net can’t reach out to the friends I’m with; so on and so forth; it’s self explanatory. He expected to see 4 cells by the end of this year; with so many rising leaders in our cell. In fact; he believed; EVERYONE could lead a cell. Do you?

Net went on to mention peer mentorship; on accountability; and keeping each other in check; in other words; watching each other’s back and spurring each other on. That was what we had to do to achieve Incredible Unity.

Then Faith led prayer; that we would not forget our focus; that we’d continue to invite our friends; that we won’t take a “moral or God holiday”; this holiday; but we’d continue to actively seek Him. And Dan Yeow closed in gear up; with a crossword puzzle which concealed all the “GAME PLAN” terms; in light of our upcoming event this 24^th March. Yeah; so that was cell!
