Second Sunday Service of May (13/5/12)! =)

Helloooooo! Well I'm quite excited today for the Word of God and I reached church very early today, around 8.15am. Okay that was because my sister had to go somewhere so yeah that's why early. I'm very excited partially due to exam's starting tomorrow! A2 Final exam. I've been preparing very hard for the exam, and up to a certain point, I felt so restless and bored studying the same thing, over and over again. Well I just hope I could do well in the exam and aim for perfection, especially for Maths. I cannot afford to make mistakes as I need A* for Maths to meet my minimum requirement for A*AA. Wish me luck peeps! =)

So the sermon today was rather short but of high quality! Even Pastor Kenneth emphasized that before started preaching the sermon today. So excited? Here it goes!

Title: Sifting you as wheat!
Bible verses: Luke 22:31,  Deuteronomy 8, James 1
- Only expectation can breed disappointment.
- De-morning attack comes in the form of disappointment, discouragement and diseases, are all Devil's
  devices.
- Trials and testing will happen regardless of your faith.
- But with Jesus and the power of Holy Spirit, we can overcome it.
- Purpose of trial is to sift us as wheat, allowed by God's Will to build characters.
- God always test us, but will never tempt us; Devil does!
- While God allows the Devil to tempt/sift us, He will never allow Devil to win over our heart, as God
   is in control!
- Purpose of sifting: To separate the wheat from chaff, usable from unusable, edible from inedible.
- 1st step:  - Thrashing!
                 - Flail is used to beat, to loosen the chaff/useless stuff.
                 - Loosen your desire for earthly riches, for nothing can be taken eternally to Heaven.
- 2nd step:  - Winnowing!
                  - Throwing up and down, and nobody cares, but God cares because He loves us!
                  - Thrown up and down to go after the usable!
                  - Loosen chaff is removed from grain, heavier grain and substance will come back down
                    for the use of God! Chaff will be blown away by wind of doctrine.
                  - Let Devil winnow you, but let God use you!
 - 3rd step: - Sifting (shake), separate wheat from dirt and debris.
                  - Remove all dust from ingredient that is used for the final product.
- Devil asks, Jesus allows, but He never stopped there.
- Devil is used only as a tool, to sift you.
- No matter what you've been through, you will return to Jesus! As Jesus prayed for you! Prayed that
  your faith will never fail, although your actions might fail.
- Our church is Spirit-filled, Christ-centered.
- Return to Jesus, set for encouragement and strength for others.
- Jesus is not a serving religion, Jesus is God!
- Jesus is the same, yesterday, today and forever!
- God's Will is for us to bear fruits, and Devil gets worried when we bear fruit.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Phew! Finally done and time to get back to my notes! Woke up quite early today (7am) and done nothing so far! I shall study, but enough is enough haha! xD I just hope I could memorise all explanations that are quite common and possible to come out tomorrow. Good luck to all my friends taking A2 tomorrow! I know you can do it! =)

O Lord, I know you have been watching me. I've given my best to prepare for this, and Lord I pray that you will multiply my effort, and for me to bear fruits, standing as a great testimony for you, Lord. Grant me wisdom and careful mind Lord, that I will be able to shine in the exam hall and strive for perfection, with all answers wrote according to the marking scheme. Guide me through the exams Lord. I thank you, for all your great blessings on me. Thank you for everything Lord. I love you. In Jesus name, Amen.

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 ...

The Greatest Rejection Ever!!! T_T

Upon rejected by a dozen of scholarships institutions, I was highly hoping at the very common scholarship that everyone would most likely to apply for - JPA. Obviously, there was a stiff competition among the excellent students nationwide, since JPA is only capable of offering 1500 places to those students for overseas program. Probably there are tonnes of excellent students this batch who scored lots of A+, but instead of 2000 places offered for the previous years, JPA reduced the number to 1500. Due to economics recession maybe, and we as the students, are the major victims. Lots of my friends who actually scored way better than me failed to get the scholarships, including me of course. Also, the introduction of A+ to the students end of last year shocked and intimidated almost every SPM'09 student, cause they were not given enough time to prepare adequately to score A+, which technically means above 90% marks. Personally, I was really down and depressed over the rejection of J...
