First Sunday Service after RE:UNION! =)

Hello sorry that I'm late to update you the latest sermon! Haha anyway, I'm fine and sound now! Finally I've garnered enough courage to pick myself up from despair, regain my confidence and ready to beat the last battle! Thanks to all my family members and friends who have been with me throughout the day to provide moral support. I wouldn't know what might happen if nobody was right beside me. Thank God that He never gave up on me, and thanks to all my friends who kept consoling me. Thank you for just be there at the moment I need it the most.

I reached church yesterday morning safe and sound in one piece, thank God. I was feeling down yesterday when I woke up and cried. Okay that might sound abnormal but yeah it's just me! Anyone who knows me well enough will not be surprised about this cause I used to cry a lot when I was a kid. When I was singing worship song, again my tears dropped as I was so touched by God's love to me.

Though I may walk through the valley,
though I may sail through the storm,
I will not fear, cause you are near;

Though I may climb the highest mountain,
though I may go through the fire,
I will not fear, cause you are here.

Goodness and mercy follow me, 
goodness and mercy follow me, 
goodness and mercy follow me, 
all of my days.

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujaaaahhhh~ :')

Bible Verses: Revelations 5:8, 8; 1 Thessalonians 5:17; Matthew 6:7-9; Exodus 10:25; 2 Samuel 24:24

(Rev. Kenneth Chin)

- Prayer is very important to God, a gift from God as a tool for Him to perform miracles.
- God wants us to pray without ceasing.
- 1) Praying as if everything is dependent on it, as we might take things for granted.
- Everything comes without asking is bonus.
- No pray no pay!
- There are so many things to pray about.
- Don't pray with repetition.
- Worship is the integral part of prayer, is about perspectives.
- Asking is the key thing of prayer.
- Get the right perspectives before started asking.
- God will exalt things that are brought down on Earth (friendship, relationship etc)
- Worship must be offered with sacrifice, praise and thanksgiving!
- 2) Ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find, knock and the door will be opened!
- When you ask, listen! When you receive those Words of direction, start seeking!
- Take those words and obey!
- After that, go in and knock, as the door might still be closed.
- Don't take 'no' from yesterday as the answer today and tomorrow.
- Don't allow the past to dictate your present and future.
- James 5:16-18
- The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. (James 5:16)
- Are our prayer effective?
- Prayer is not just as ritual, but needs to be effective.
- i) Ask by FAITH -> Faith pleases God (Hebrew 11:6). Those who come to God must believe Him as
      Rewarder (James 1:6). If you are not praying by faith, you are doubleminded. Pray and believe you
      have received, and you will receive (Mark 11:24). Pray for laborers. Laborers are God's answer.
- ii) Ask by FOCUS -> Be as specific as you can (Luke 18:41). God wants us to verbalise what we want,
      so know your priority well.
- iii) Ask FERVANTLY -> Train your stamina to pray! Breakthroughs only happen at the moment your
       flesh says 'cannot'. Flesh gives up and let Spirit takes over. Breakthrough into the new realm of
       blessings.
- iv) Ask FORWARD -> We don't just pray for today, but also for future. Even if you have nothing to
       pray to God, just praise Him and spend more time with Him, that God might reveal to you more
       things! =)

Penning Down Thoughts

I never had the habit of journaling, and it was never my thing. You see, I had a hard time polishing my language skills. Having grown up and educated in a Chinese primary school and surrounded by Chinese-speaking community at least two third of my life, I had the tendency to speak and think in Chinese. English was out of my realm of mastery. Mandarin Chinese is my mother tongue after all. Ironically I have been widely misunderstood as being a 'banana' - a Chinese who only speaks English.  It seems I do have a 'banana' look. I have been told that I speak and write English better than my Chinese sentences, which the latter often seems to be awkward and to some extent, trying too hard. Can't really blame me right? I have not been consistently writing Chinese for the past 10 years. But this is blatantly deceiving! My English proficiency has not always been acceptable. Reading back my blog posts even just 5 years ago brought myself to embarrassment. In short, I d

What Owning a Turbocharged Car has Taught me

If there is a single word that can sum up what owning a turbocharged car for the past one and a half year has taught me, it will be this — humility . I have quite a number of people telling me my car is cool, fast and what not. But instead of getting all boasted up, I can't help but to be humble at my slow car. Slow car? You wondered. For a hot hatch making well above 234 horses on the wheel with 270Nm torque, this Neo turbo boosting 1-bar (14.5 psi) is producing more than double a stock Neo CPS is making. This is certainly not a slow car by any conventional family car standard. But with this comes a hefty price, in terms of time and money. The maintenance cost is not cheap, as it is the case with any other turbocharged car. Turbocharged vehicles are more prone to component failures just simply by the fact that there are a lot more things that can fail within the complex system, as compared to a much simpler naturally aspirated mode.  I have educated myself with how a

2 Weeks Experiences in The New Class! =)

Listening to: The more I seek You - Kari Jobe It's been two weeks since I joined the new class! Most, if not all, of my new classmates are quite friendly to me, gratefully! Thank God for that! Within the first few days I've recognised and remembered most of my classmates' names! =p Okay to be frank, I was trying to memorise. That's why I could remember their names fast, and blend into their group easily? =) How? Facebook does the trick! Adding someone into your friend list in Facebook will definitely improve your ability to remember names. Well it works for me, at least! =p Okay why am I keep writing posts about PE1? I don't know, just want to share my thoughts with everyone, how I spend my time in the new class and so on. During break time I tend to hang out with a group of new friends, and a large portion of them were from Catholic High School, PJ. Haha I was supposed to go there, but I didn't. My younger sister did, anyway. Most of them tend
