DEath Note

Death knocks unknowingly and almost always at the wrong time.

Today's newspaper reported a death of a 16 year old boy near who stays near my place. So untimely. So sudden.

It almost seemed like a bad dream. It became reality.

One more soul gone forever. Has he been saved? Has he heard the gospel?

I am seriously jolted from my comfort zone.

Last night, some of us went ot Geylang for dinner. A friend of mine popped a question, " I wonder who shares the gospel to the people in GEylang. "

That sentence stuck with me throughout. I really wonder who shares the good news with them.

I am really at a loss. I really need to pray. Because the need is real.

Some of us toy with good Christian concepts, while souls out there are being lost.

where your heart is, there your receipts will be.

Uncle preached on money on sunday.

What struck me hard was my treasure. Where my receipts lead to, there you'll find my treasures.

I've been looking back and I have decided to stop spending money on worthless stuff.

Sweets, can drinks, extra food. They all must go. I don't need them.

I wanna be all out to save and contribute to building fund!!! =)

I want to be responsible for my money! =)

Till the ground till it's ready.

We don't manipulate the hands of God.

We don't force Revival to come.

We don't manufacture Revival.

We don't move hearts or effect change.

But we can till the ground.

I will put my hands to the plough. At all cost.

At all cost.

At all cost.

I want to fashion my life according to His plans. One step at a time. One prayer at a time. One less sin at a time.

I will not die till I see the promise of God come to pass in my life.

My hands will behold the glory of His rain.

Let it start now. Now.

In School, and not in good shape.

Yesterday, the leaders gathered to pray. WE sat there, we prayed and God spoke.

I am convicted. Of the things I should have done and have not done.

Quoting from Daryl's sound clip,"We can spend 2 hours in a stinking cinema and not pray for half an hour"

Stale bread. Feeding on crumbs. Leftovers.

Is that what I want to achieve in ministry? Is that what I want to achieve in school? Scraping by and giving my minimal, just to get away?

Guilty as charged. I have chosen the path of an Israelite in Moses' time, asking whether for stale bread, when He feeds daily.

Gracious Saviour, Loving friend.

"You stood before my failures,
and carried the cross for my shame..."

I can still stand before Him. With arms wide, and heart abandoned.

Not in good shape, but Lord mould me, because I am willing.

Nanyang Business School

Well, the blogger dashboard feels like a friend I have not seen in a while.

Anyway, school has started and it's exciting!

This is a school God has called me to! I am gonna try to make the best out of it! Will try to seize every opportunity I have to share the gospel!

The pressures remain. The workload has increased, and life hasn't gotten easier.

I struggle. The work presented before me definitely surmounts my army life. Lol.

I am determined to do well and excel, so that I can prove to myself and my lifegroup that we can do well in school and still maintain our priorities! Got that power M&M?? Haha.

School presents sin in various guises. The skimpy attires, the coporate brainwashing, clubbing, chasing girls, you get the picture. I wonder whether I can be that shining light to my school.

The gospel is truly POWER unto Salvation. I feel challenged to believe in that and LIVE it out!

I pray for myself that my light will shine before man, that all will see His goodness.

I feel emboldened. Empowered and recharged to share His word. Because, the passion goes deeper this time, and I am determined to not let God pass by my friends because of my cowardice.
