Fear is a common thing we all face, day in day out. But not all fears are bad. The Bible says the fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom.


Fear of the LORD
-the beginning of wisdom
-causes us to see our own spiritual condition
-results in us wanting to seek the LORD again
-we start to fast & pray & seek the LORD


Fast
-as we fast, flesh & spirit starts to separate
-sanctification begins
-we become a holy sacrifice unto the LORD once aagin


Fire of GOD
-the fire of GOD starts to consume the living sacrifice on the altar
-what is left are pure hands & a clean heart


Fresh Passion & Vision
-we start to ascend to the holy mountain of GOD once again
-dead dreams resurrected
-passion for soul-winning reignited


Faith
-face to face with Jesus, hearing His voice once again, faith begin to arise in our hearts
-we are ready to fight & conquer again


*Most of our stories end here. Sad but true.


Faithfulness
-Faith w/o works is dead
-we need to develop faithfulness in our lives
-faithfulness in every area of our lives
-this will lead us into fruitfulness


Fruitfulness
-Fruits that will remain
-Simply because we have learnt how to abide in Him & trust in Him

ATTITUDE

Attitude is really everything.

A - After
T - The
T - Test(s) or Trial(s)
I - Is
T - Truth &
U - Understanding
D - Deeply
E - Established?

Everything GOD does in our lives is progressive. GOD builds our lives upon Truths which have been deeply established through tests & trials, moldings & experiences. How we respond to everything that happens around us will determine whether our lives are built upon GOD's principles or upon our emotions. In everything that we struggle to go through, we must always ask GOD for understanding. Solomon says even if it costs us everything, we must get understanding. Not our own kind of understanding, but GOD's understanding. GOD doesn't see things the way we see. His ways are always higher than our ways, His thoughts higher than our thoughts.

As we get older, the harder it is for us to humble ourselves. We are no longer so moldable as when we were younger. Things get more complicated & our hearts become more hardened. That's why the Bible says we must guard our hearts for out of it flows the issues of life. Without a pure heart, we can never see GOD. We can never see what are the things GOD is trying to remove, what are the things He is trying to prune, & what are the things He is trying to build.

I nearly destroyed my own destiny. Thank GOD for His Grace, I'm still around.

My greatest honor will always be, to serve my LORD & King.

Thank you Jesus.

The Street Lawyer

John Grisham is my favourite author.

I finished The Street Lawyer today & it was awesome. Will definitely recommend to all my friends. It brings new meaning back to success & making a difference.

Past 2 months has been great. I learnt how to re-focus back on the things that are more important. Cleaned up my life in those areas I had been slacking.

I thank GOD because I have a great friend who was blatantly honest with me and spoke the truth into my life.

Success can only be built on character, not comfort.

Don't focus on the seed, nor the ground. Focus on the Sower.

The degree of your faith is dependant on the degree of your forgiveness.

Faith is not believing GOD can, but it is knowing GOD will.

When all is said and done, always remember, I am a son.

All these are values that I hold dear to my heart.

Thank GOD for awesome leaders in our generation. If not for them, I won't have a clue where am I in life.

Sun is on Twitter & FB and I've been following her. She is simply awesome! Talking the talk & walking the walk. Can't wait for her single :-) Go Sun!!!!!!!!

Zoe is kicking harder these days. But my dear wife says that's a good sign ;-) Besides cramps at night, my dear wife is doing great. And she's getting prettier day by day. Mother's glow they call it. As for me, I've kept my promise.

No more chicken skin.
No more fried & oily stuff.
No more late night supper.
Started swimming 2 Sats ago with Eugene & Max.
First Sat 12 Laps. Last Sat 20 Laps. This Sat will maintain 20 ;-)

I'm getting excited day by day.

May - Module 5
June - Module 6

GOD is so good to us. Thank you Jesus!

恩

It's Official.

We're thinking of naming her Zoe 张恩 .

We're thankful to GOD for our baby girl & we want her to have the life of GOD in her ;-)

We went to Gynae & Cherie has put on a good 3kg from our last visit 2 weeks ago.

I too have gained a good 2 kg, which is a good thing. But unfortunately, they drowned my waistline. Now I look like I'm 3 months preganant ;-(

So, in order to for me to watch my girl grow up & start her own family, I've declared war with my physical body.

No more will I bow down to Eng Gor Duck Rice, Old Chang Kee Chicken Wing, Tiong Bahru Fishball Mee Pok, AMK Blk 339 Chicken Rice, Katong Laksa & all their Khakis.

Faith w/o works is dead.

I started my 1st 2.4km run yesterday & completed in 11mins. Almost met Jesus in His Mansion.

Monday 2.4km, Tuesday Static, Wednesday 2.4km, Thursday Static, Friday 2.4km, Saturday Swim. Sunday is Sabbath & Eat-All-You-Can ;-)

If Dr Kong Hee can have 6 packs in his forties, I can have mind in my thirties. Greater works will I do ;-)

Please pray for me, and niam me.

Thanks.

And if you can identify with my story, it's time you declare war too.

What are you building on?

This morning, this question dropped onto my lap.

I started thinking.

What am I building my life on?

Quick to Judge or Quick to Forgive
Recession or Resurrection
Slogging or Sowing
Tom or Today
