Testimony

I think God is funny and nice and is full of surprises.

Like i said in the posts much earlier, I don't post another post after a few minutes. But He just makes me do it. why?

Here's why?
Because I was blogging earlier and I, like any of you was trying hard to believe in what I write, it was a challenge for myself. Then, as soon as I was done, the very thing I was worried about, its taken care of.

Isn't He awesome. He is. He really is.

Now you try. Rest. Continue reading...

Campus Revo : What did He say today?

So, yesterday at campus revo. If you missed it, you can try again next week.

Nope, it wasn't songs this time. He was in the mood for animals. Eagles. Two of it. One served its purpose, the other didn't for it sat as a statue on a building.

Even as I write this, I think to myself, maybe He wants to put us high up there for everyone to see. But then, He says, nope, I will make you soar on My wings, to Greater Heights.

Fun Fact #1 Eagles do not need to flap too many times to soar, just a few.

He will bring us to greater heights if we only rely on His wings. The SEGi CF camp, I sincerely applaud the team who has been working harder than ever on the camp. But lets take rest now. Lets stop flapping. Lets lay rest at His feet.

For you, whatever you are worried about, working so hard but not achieving. Maybe because you need rest on His wings. I'm not going to lie to you, its not going to be easy. But at least next week Wednesday, when you come for Campus Revo for a two hours encore, lets sit at his presence and wait.

Remember Martha and Mary? Martha went about working and working, but Mary just sat by His feet. Lets be like that for now. Lets stop using our wings to hide from the rain, and lets run into our Father's wings.

Come fasting a meal on Wednesday next week (25th September) at 10am-12pm.

So what did He say? still unsure. He said:

Dear one, take rest. For I am here. Trust Me. For I only desire good things concerning you. Will you let Me carry you?

A Love Story

Salvation.

How did it all begin?

Everything has a beginning. Your beginning was the formation in your mother's womb. A song is burst from a single tone. A forest starts with a single tree. So, everything has a beginning? Nope. He is eternity. Because beginning is a referral for timing. And we are bound by time, but not the Father. For time was something we came up with-humans. Therefore, it can be said that time is relative. And He is eternity.

The story.

The story starts like this. The Lord made you and I. loved us. We sinned. He came. He died. he rose again. hence, Salvation is believing that He died on the cross to wash away our sins. That's all.

Not really. There is more to this.

That's why a story is known as a story. Reality speaks differently. Today, I will speak of reality, and I pray that you will know with your heart and not your mind what salvation really is. You see, our Father, He didn't sit there, mould and make us so that we can sin and He can say "Aha!", and then purposely send His Son to die. No. He didn't plan it this way. He planned to love. And so He gave us a choice. You see, if all He wanted was worshipers, He would have summoned the angels to do so. But instead He made you, because He wants to love and to be loved.

To love and to be loved.

Sounds familiar? sounds like you? Maybe because you were created in His own image. He is a Father full of love. He cannot stop loving. It is His nature to love.

Now imagine this

There is this person you really love. Or a pet dog maybe. You really love them. Really really. And you discovered there is this remote on sale now. Its called The Perfect Love Remote. If yo install this on your friend, they will have to love you forever. Unconditional Love. Would you install it? They will HAVE TO love you if you do install it. The Father didn't install such buttons on us, not because He couldn't but because He didn't want to. He gave us a CHOICE instead. To love or turn away.

A choice.

He gave Adam and Eve a choice. He made everything beautiful. But He let the tree of the knowledge of good and evil grow. And as the story goes, they choose to eat the fruit of the tree, disobeying Him. Disobedience. Sin. Death was therefore introduced as a consequence.

But we forgot, how He might have hurt on the inside. He knew the possibility that sin might enter the world, just like how we know someone we love might hurt us one day. And things got even worse as you read along Genesis and Exodus and so on. This went to the point where all He could see on earth is sin. He regretted making humans. Regret- is a big word.

Ever regretted on someone? He did. So as the Bible writes, it came a point He Himself had to come down to save us. The Universe was in His hands, the earth His footstool, and He came down.

The way I see it, He sat on the same stool where He made you and I, and made another man- Himself.

You love someone. But were not loved in return. maybe because your love means nothing. Maybe because they forgot. Sacrifice- that will show love. When your dog comes around you all the time, protecting you, loving you, you never gave it much attention. Your dad who has always been there, who were there through your tough times and through your tears, joy, pain, sorrow, you never really noticed. Until one day, that dog dies protecting you. Or that dad suffers and dies saving you. Then you know the love. How much love. how deep the love.

The Sacrifice

So with that, he sent His One and Only Begotten Son- Jesus Christ. The father himself came to earth- for you. And after all the ways He could come to earth, He choose to be born in a stable- the dung, the animals, the smell, the Prince.

Sometimes we get carried away,we always talk about living like the Father, knowing how He lived, how people rebuked Him, and nailed Him, and we want to live like Him and walk like Him (which is good) But we so easily forget to remember the reason He went through it all - Love. So when you want to live like Him and walk like Him, you have to start loving like Him first.

It is finished

The nails went through the palm of His hands. The thorn pierced through His head. The blood soaked His body. He died. He choose to die.

His last words as a man on earth was : It is finished. now you might think, -wow, I think I get it now- But wait, don't leave when the credits roll up, because there might be some surprise element like in the movies. The Father did not just die, He conquered death, and rose up to life again on the third day. At this very moment He is sitting next to the Father, interceeding for you and I.

So what is Salvation? - Sacrifice of Love. The unspoken words of the Father. 2nd Chance.

With so much love for you, won't you help Him tell the broken hearted, the wounded souls, the unloved, about His love.

John 3:16 For God SO loved the world that He gave His One and only begoten Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.

So much of love.

Good day. Continue reading...

What did He say?

Campus Revolution News : What did He say today.

SEGi Subang Jaya had our Campus Revo last morning. So what did He( Our Father ) say?

Well, reporting live from the room 10.10 on 11th August 2010, we have with us Aaron, one of the committee. According to Aaron : God seemed to be speaking through songs.

No, I kid you not. Some of us had songs, not just any random songs, but different songs that all meant one thing. Some saw visions. This may seem doubtful, but remember the scripture, your young man shall see vision and the old shall dream dreams. Amen.

So what were all these songs building up to?

SALVATION

Yes, salvation. That the Lord Almighty died on the cross for you and I. The next post will be on this subject- Salvation. But as for now, if you are saved, and you know what salvation is, then do this - Go tell 1 person about your Father's love.

But if you have no idea what Salvation is. Or maybe it sounds as bizzare as camories sounds to you, then wait.
The next post will be for you.

P/s: If you haven's been to Campus Revo, come, let your heart familiarize with His voice.

Till then. Go tell it on the mountains, over the hill and everywhere that Jesus Christ is born.

Amen.

Light snack

The episodes on Imagine This will continue here.
On a lighter note:

There is someone who loves you. He keeps your picture in His wallet. He thinks good things about you. The past He doesn't remember. That time you cried softly behind closed doors, He saw you. In fact the tears didn't just dry away. He collected them into a bottle. Your tears are not wasted.

He loves you.

Good day. Continue reading...

todays episode : Introducing Camories

GOOD EVENING and welcome to the today's episode of Imagine This.

It got me realizing that many of the post I've written has an imagine this word.

So ladies and gentleman, brothers and sisters of all age. Today's topic of Imagine This is *drum rolls*

CAMORIES

You can stop goggle-ing that word, because it doesn't exist. Yes, you heard me, it doesn't exist. But just because it doesn't exist doesn't mean it means nothing. Let me put a meaning to it, a definition perhaps.

Imagine This.

Its 12am on the clock, you're on your bed. You whispered your goodnight prayers and you lay on your bed. Reflecting on how the day went, you slowly, gently let your eyelid fall. And you slowly turn to get yourself comfortable. You think you are about to fall asleep because tomorrow holds something bigger. And then

BAM

your heart starts pounding, your hands start fidgeting. Tomorrow, you think. You force your eye shut to gain some sleep because tomorrow might hold something greater. But the bed grew warmer. You turn and toss and turn and toss and turn and toss. Finally, you sit up on your bed. Turned to look around your room and there you found it.

Snacks and snacks all packed. Clothes folded and fit into backpacks. And the Bible waiting. Tomorrow might hold something greater for me, something greater for you because tomorrow might be

SEGi CF CAMP

but its not. NOT YET AT LEAST!

its coming! coming!

Testimony of Love

I don't usually post twice on one day. But this I have to.

He is nearer than you think. Exactly. He knows your thoughts.

I have just tasted His Love.

Its beautiful. When you feel His love, its unexplainable, so don't try explaining with man's tongue, it would bring tears to your eye- tears of joy. You would feel undeserving, but He will tell you, "I am your Father, and I love you".

Listen to His still small voice. Wait, don't rush, let the hours pass, but wait patiently -You will hear His still small voice.

Grasp that loving words, don't explain it, no man can understand. Not even you. Because explaining means putting it into head knowledge, and oh, how confined are our heads, filled with earthly matters. The Fathers voice, only the heart understands it.

Quiet down. Listen. Continue reading...

Bedtime story.

Love.

It all boils down to love doesn't it. Last night, I had to read my baby brother to sleep. There wasn't much of an option for me to choose what story to read him. So, one story I could think of from the top of my head was a story you might be familiar with. Even if you haven't heard of this story, you might feel like you have.

It was a story of creation.How everything was made. The heaven, the earth, the light, the darkness, the animals, and man - You and I.

I remember reading a book- one part of it wrote a description which is a big part of the story I am about to tell you. And so, in effort of wanting to take me baby brother into the story, which I wasn't supposed to because its bedtime story, I retold the story of creation in a child-like way. And then I understood it myself.

Imagine this.


It was a bright day, the sun was shinning bright, the trees were standing tall, the grass were lavishly green, but there is something odd with the picture. The animals were all gathered in a commotion. They gathered in a circle, focusing on whats encircled in. In the middle, there was a man who sat on his stool. He was a potter, and with tired hands, he worked on the clay. Perfecting it. The lions curiosity asked the deer, "what do you think He is making this time?", the hippo turned to the giraffe and asked if it could understand what was being made. The giraffe."I think its a- wait, I think-oh-huh" They couldn't make of it.

But all creation stood in awe- the potter's soft breath fell gently upon the clay and went into it. The clay reflected the potter- His own breath, His own image.

His own.

The potter then stood, looking at His own creation, He smiled and said "It is good."

There you go, that is how you and I, we were made. Detailed. Perfect. because you are the only one, His only one.

I took the liberty to ask my baby brother why he think God created us.

So we could worship Him, he said.

If he wanted a worshiper, He had His angels. But he made you instead. Because,

he wants to fellowship with man - You
he wants to have a relationship with man - You
he want to love man - You

See, I told you it all comes down to love.

Love, because He is love.

Have a blessed day. Continue reading...
