Devotional: Consecrated, Lord, to Thee
Frances Ridley Havergal received Christ at a young age but struggled for years with Christian victory.
I had hoped that a kind of tableland had been reached in my journey, where I might walk awhile in the light, without the weary succession of rock and hollow, crag and morass, stumbling and striving; but I seem borne back into all the old difficulties of the way, with many sin-made aggravations. I think the great root of my trouble and alienation is that I do not make an unreserved surrender of myself to God; until this is done I shall know no peace. I am sure of it.
She struggled throughout her twenties and thirties, pulled in one direction by the acclaim of great London crowds who loved her singing, and in another direction by the Holy Spirit. Then one day at age 36 she read a booklet entitled “All For Jesus,” which stressed the importance of making Christ King of every corner and cubicle of one’s life. Frances made a fresh, complete consecration to God. Years later her sister asked her about it, and she replied: Yes, it was on Advent Sunday, December 2, 1873, I first saw clearly the blessedness of true consecration. I saw it as a flash of electric light. There must be full surrender before there can be full blessedness. God admits you by the one into the other. He showed me this most clearly.
Shortly after, Frances found herself spending several days with ten people, some of them unconverted, and others of them Christians not fully surrendered. “Lord,” she prayed, “give me all in this house.” Before she left, all ten were yielded Christians. On the last night of her visit, Frances, too excited to sleep, wrote her “Consecration Hymn,” the song that became her life’s theme. She took its words seriously and prayed earnestly over them every December 2nd, making changes to her life and lifestyle as needed. The first verse says:
Take my life and let it be,
Consecrated, Lord, to Thee;
Take my hands and let them move
At the impulse of Thy love.
I have been nailed to the cross with Christ. I have died, but Christ lives in me. And I now live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave his life for me. (Galatians 2:19b,20)

1414 Praying & Fasting Campaign
Today is the first day of our 1414 praying & fasting campaign. This campaign is for AG1 leaders. However, others are welcomed to join in if they want to as well.
1414 simply means 14 December 2009 to 14 January 2010.
One reason we are fasting and praying together is to cry out to God for Him to move powerfully in our midst (in every single care group in AG1) as we are reaching out to our friends and loved ones with the love of Jesus during the Christmas outreach season.
Even before we started the praying and fasting campaign I have started to hear powerful testimonies happenning in different care groups including one visitor who decided to receive Christ around a week ago. (He joined our movie night some two weeks ago)
I want to fast and pray seriously during this season of time. I want to see more of God in our midst. I want to see many transformation of hearts and lives in our midst. I want to see every single care group in AG1 experiencing mighty breakthroughs and victories. I want to see more people experiencing the love of God for people really matter to God.
Would you join me in this journey? :)

From CCK to Punggol
Finally, we have moved out from our CCK flat after 7 years of staying there. Lean Choo was feeling a little bit sad over it. But I guess it was really time to move on.
We didn't really have much time to pack and move. It was pretty miraculous that we managed to finish packing and moving out in time. Actually, it was barely. We kept clearing our stuff till the very last minute.
It felt so good that we didn't have to throw away many of our stuff at all. We were able to give away many of our stuff to different individuals. Even our used newspaper and papers could bless one of our neigbours.
From CCK we hope to be able to move to Kallang. We have balloted for a flat in Kallang area. We will know our queue number pretty soon.
Temporarily we are now staying with my youngest brother and his wife, Agung & Merlyn. They live in Punggol. We are grateful for their hospitality.
Punggol is a pretty a nice area. Interestingly, we are now just a walking distance to Ps Ben and Ps Lawrence's flats.
It is faster to get to church office from Punggol. It would be even faster from Kallang. :)
We will be in Punggol probably for around 2 months. We will use this opportunity to explore the North Eastern part of Singapore. Punggol, here we come. :)

three uncles and one nephew
Have you ever watched "Three Uncles And One Nephew" before?
Actually, there is no such movie. :)
But the below picture is what it looks like in our family. I just like this photo.

a research report within two days?
The month of August has been really full with assignments to do, people to host, conference to serve and stage duty every weekend.
It's not over yet. Within these two days I need to produce a research report on a relatively difficult topic.
Can I produce 25 pages of quality report and submit it before Tuesday midnight? (So that I will not lose to many marks. the deduction of marks are happenning every single day after last Friday)
Well, I can do everything through Christ who strengthens me. Please, help me God! :)

A Powerful Story
This weekend is an important weekend for those in Adults services to share the love of God with our friends and family members.
May the following story inspire many hearts especially those who are doing their best in sharing the love of God with others but often wonder if it is making any difference at all.
Links in the Chain
Edward Kimball was determined to win his Sunday school class to Christ. A teenager named Dwight Moody tended to fall asleep on Sundays, but Kimball, undeterred, set out to reach him at work. His heart was pounding as he entered the store where the young man worked. “I put my hand on his shoulder, and as I leaned over I placed my foot upon a shoebox. I asked him to come to Christ.” But Kimball left thinking he had botched the job. Moody, however, left the store that day a new person and eventually became the most prominent evangelist in America.
On June 17, 1873, Moody arrived in Liverpool, England, for a series of crusades. The meetings went poorly at first, but then the dam burst and blessings began flowing. Moody visited a Baptist chapel pastored by a scholarly man named F. B. Meyer, who at first disdained the American’s unlettered preaching. But Meyer was soon transfixed and transformed by Moody’s message.
At Moody’s invitation, Meyer toured America. At Northfield Bible Conference, he challenged the crowds saying, “If you are not willing to give up everything for Christ, are you willing to be made willing?” That remark changed the life of a struggling young minister named J. Wilber Chapman.
Chapman proceeded to become a powerful traveling evangelist in the early 1900s, and he recruited a converted baseball player named Billy Sunday. Under Chapman’s eye, Sunday became one of the most spectacular evangelists in American history. His campaign in Charlotte, North Carolina, produced a group of converts who continued praying for another such visitation of the Spirit. In 1934 they invited evangelist Mordecai Ham to conduct a citywide crusade. On October 8th Ham, discouraged, wrote a prayer to God on the stationery of his Charlotte hotel: “Lord, give us a Pentecost here. … Pour out thy Spirit tomorrow. … ”
His prayer was answered beyond his dreams when a Central High School student named Billy Graham gave his heart to Jesus.
And Edward Kimball thought he had botched the job!
I am not praying just for these followers. I am also praying for everyone else who will have faith because of what my followers will say about me. I want all of them to be one with each other, just as I am one with you and you are one with me. John 17:20,21a

"Faith Like Potatoes"
I am excited about our YA movie night this Friday. This is our third time in two years we have been doing movie night. And we hope to do many more times in the future.
Besides being excited about the movie I am also excited that there is now a team taking care of the entire event including the sourcing out of movies and securing the licenses. I want to commend CN and Gabriel for serving the YA group in this capacity.
This time the movie is "Faith Like Potatoes" which is based on a true story. It was awarded the Audience Choice award at The 2006 Sabaoth International Film Festival (Milan, Italy), and won Best Feature at the 2006 Mumbai International FICTS Festival.
Below are the synopsis of the movie, the link to access the movie's trailer and the e-invite for the Friday event.
Based on a true story, this inspiring film tells the story of Angus Buchan, a South African farmer who suffers a series of seemingly insurmountable losses, but through an unlikely friendship with his Zulu farmhand and divine interventions, discovers the key to healing himself and learning to accept others lies in his unwavering belief in the power of faith.
Check out the trailer of the movie here:

Thanks in advance for the partnership and see you on Friday.

Persist
Two days ago I was browsing my notebook to look for a specific document. As I was doing that I stumbled upon a poem that I wrote in 2004.
Today I sent out the poem to a group of precious people. The poem is rather amateurish thus I was a little embarrased to share it with others. But I pray that its message will be able to encourage some hearts.
Here is the poem:
Persist
It was Monday morning
And I wondered why the going gets tough
When doing the right things was all I wanted to do
I couldn’t help but feel discouraged
I couldn’t help but feel like giving up
But before I said “I do” to giving up I paused and pondered
Then I saw
I saw the sun faithfully shine its light
Over the righteous and the evil it never failed to rise and set
It dawned on me
The sun persisted because it was its DUTY to do so
I saw a colony of ants working hard carrying bread crumbs
They were storing provision for winter which was to come
It dawned on me
The ants persisted because they had the FUTURE in mind
I saw a runner competing in a world marathon event
His leg was crammed and his throat was dry
Still he kept running
It dawned on me
The runner persisted for the HONOUR of his country
I saw Jesus, the Son of God, walking towards Golgotha
His body was soaked in blood and His flesh was torn out
He was weary due to pain, hunger, thirst and no rest
Still He walked, walked and walked
I saw Jesus being nailed to the cross
The physical pain was excruciating
Insults and mockeries inflicted Him with emotional pain
Humanity’s sins placed on Him inflicted spiritual pain
That He cried “My God My God why have You forsaken me”
Still He remained and remained on that cross
It dawned on me
Jesus chose to keep walking
Jesus chose to remain on the cross
Jesus chose because of LOVE
I am sure glad that I paused and pondered
Now I know that I can choose to persist and not give up
I can persist because it is my DUTY to do so
I can persist because God promises a good FUTURE for me
I can persist because it is for the HONOUR of my God and His Kingdom
I can persist because of my LOVE for Him and His people

It's no 15
Last Sunday, Lean Choo and I went to my second brother's house to watch our "friend" in action.
Yes, Roger Federer was playing in the final of Wimbledon. We had a fun time together rooting for our "friend".
We left my brother's house at the end of the fourth set.
When we reached home the fifth (final set) wasn't over yet. We continued to support Federer.
At the end, Federer won, to our delight.
History was made that day. Federer was now officially the male player with the most number of grand slam titles.
Here is a great video clip summarising his incredible journey:

Remember the Wonders
This week is a very packed week for me. Among other things I have CLC2 teaching, one wedding to conduct, a weekend sermon and a Sunday afternoon sharing to prepare.
I was sharing this to several individuals through an e-mail. Steven Yeoh then replied my mail by giving me his personal work. (Thanks Steven) It's a beautiful work. The message of the poster is very similar to the rhema word that God gave me recently about clinging to Him.
Friends, if you are out there being overwhelmed by deadlines, challenges, projects, circumstances, etc, we must do one thing. We must remember God's wonders in our life and cling to Him. And if we do that the following is my conviction: We will be just fine :) .

my first blog entry of 2009
Wow, it has been so long since I last blogged. I am happy to be back.
I want to restart slowly but hopefully steadily. :)
Recently, I stumbled upon a great quote by Alexander Graham Bell.
"When one door closes another opens; but we often look so long upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us."
How true! It saddens my heart to see people I care going in circles in life because they refuse to let go of their past. I pray that God will help them to let go and embrace the door that God has opened for them.

Two Old Photos
Recently, Fenny sent me two old photos from the Melbourne days.
Wow, I was really slim then.
Would this also be a vision of my future if I really put my heart into exercising and eating healthily? :)

Two Important Events
Wow, it has been almost two months since I last blogged. Of course I can say that my schedule has been packed. But truthfully I also experienced some loss of momentum. Also, I have been pondering on the way forward regarding my blog including changing blog.
But more of that perhaps next time. :)
Today I want to take time to blog on our two upcoming YA events.
The first one is our YA Combined CG tomorrow. Peter Truong will minister to us. He ministered to us last year and he is back again this year. Yesterday, Peter met the YA leaders to minister to us and to train us for tomorrow. We witnessed several of our leaders receiving physical and emotional healing.
The details of the event is as below:
I want to thank Ben and Name from CN & Christine's groups for doing up the wonderful e-invites above.
Now back to tomorrow's combined care group. If you are reading this blog I covet your prayers for God to move mightily in our midst tomorrow administering His renewal, emotional healing and physical healing.
Indeed it is not going to be by our might our our power but it is going to be by the Spirit of God that we will move from strength to strength and glory unto glory.
"Thank You Jesus, Amen!"
But more of that perhaps next time. :)

Once every a few months we take time to celebrate, look back and look forward. This will be our last Team Rally for the year.
I would like to really invite shepherds, core teams and leaders in YA group to join us for this time. There will be surprises for you. Come and find out. :)

After almost three weeks
Wow, it has been almost three weeks since I last blogged. I would need to catch up in the next few days.
Let me start with where I left, UNVEIL.
We did UNVEIL. It was indeed an entertaining night. I am confident that we have also sown some good seeds into the hearts of around 21 pre-believing visitors who were present that night.
I want thank CN, committee (Jinqi, David Chua and Yoppie) and team (many people) for anchoring the event. I salute all the contestants including those who went for the auditions. We appreciate the judges (Kin Wee, Jaclyn and Angie) and our guest performer (Nel and band). Thank you also to those who were there and for inviting your friends to join us as well.
Congratulations to Megan (the winner) and the Butterfly (the runner up). Cheers to August Rush, J & J and Tian Tian & band for putting up a wonderful show as well.
Here are some pictures of UNVEIL courtesy of Penny. Thanks Penny. You are a faithful servant of God.

UNVEIL: THE STAGE
I am excited about our YA Event 2 this Friday - UNVEIL: THE STAGE. CN and team has been working hard in the planning and coordination of the event. The auditions have been completed. Six contestants (a mixture of individuals and teams) have made it to this Friday.
For those in AG1 district/YA group now is our turn. It is our turn to give the committee and contestants our very best support. One way we can support the committee is by being there and by bringing as many people there as possible. Nexus auditorium needs to be filled up by people to create the kind of atmosphere we need.
We can support the contestants by giving them our votes that day. On Friday, the judging criteria would be as follow:
60% - Judges' decision
30% - SMS voting
10% - Fans/audience support (banner, cheers, etc)
May the best man/woman/team win! :)
For those in AG1 district/YA group it is good to remember the objective of this event. UNVEIL: THE STAGE is a kind of outreach event (Matthew Party). Also, we are in our final week of our Adults region growth and YA360 charge. As such, brothers and sisters, this Friday let us bring as many friends and family members, believers (contacts, visitors, those who have slidden away) and pre-believers (those who are near and those who are still afar) to UNVEIL. Let us fill at least 3/4 of Nexus Auditorium this Friday.
You can download the e-invite from my blog to send it out to your friends and family members.
For those outside AG1 district/YA group we covet your prayers. Pray for us. We will definitely need it. Thanks in advance.
I definitely look forward to a highly entertaining and impactful time at UNVEIL this Friday.
