Sunday service 16 June.

Matthew 6:8-9
Because your father knows your needs, so ask/pray!

prayer is nothing more than open heart, open mind, open hands. God cannot violate your freewill and force you to accept all that He has for you. You need to consent through prayer, you have a choice to choose.

3 John 1:2
Souls can prosper yet health is not automatically given. Claim it.

If the son of god prays, more so we should. You have not because you ask not. David covet after Bathsheba and God said, "i have given i have blessed i have took you from tending to sheepfold to shepherding my people of Israel, and if it was not enough i would have given you more."

keep on knocking and the doors would open.

ASK - Ask, Seek, Knock.

We want to worship a god who cannot be confound to logic or explanation.

The shorter we pray, the bigger God can use the prayer to demonstrate His power. Its not about praying hard or soft, but it is whom you pray to that matters. It is not about you, it is Him.

Matthew 6:5-9
pray in secret, He will reward and bless you openly.

We do not have to pray in long prayers or fanciful words. God gave us the greatest gift Jesus before we even open our mouths to pray to Him.

Daniel 9:2-3
Daniel knew that the slave-hood would last only 70 years, but he still prayed to God for Him to bless the people.

When you pray you no longer become a earth-bound person. God takes your prayers and sends the answers to whom your prayer is directed to. Even if it was just praying in tongues, circumstances in other countries or people whom you don't know can turn around for good.

James 1:5
ask(constant asking) God for wisdom.

God will cause you to see what you need to see when you ask Him for wisdom.

Experience is not wisdom. Wisdom comes from the Lord. Growing old does not make you wise, but wisdom makes you wise.

Romans 8:32
God who did not spare Jesus his own son, but deliver him up for me, how will daddy God not with Jesus freely give me all things?

You are worth God's son.

God gave the greatest gift unasked, will he not give us the smaller gifts asked?

God gave the gift that cost him so much, how will he not give the lesser gifts that are worth lesser than Jesus?

God has given to us freely, without price, charge, works, self efforts.

1 Chronicles 4:9-10
And Jabez called on the God of Israel, asking God to bless him. God granted him what Jabez requested.

God calls Jabez 'more honorable'. Why fight and cheat for it, when you can ask God for it?

Those who don't ask God for blessings, will use their own strength to get it.        

Spirit speak.

Standing on the stage, looking at the auditorium before service starts. The empty auditorium begin to fill up with people as we warm up our vocals. Spirit spoke. "This place is just but another worldly space without these people that fill up each seat. Each person here that enters, is like a precious part of me. When come together, glory fills this place. Every life is filled with My presence, My overcoming, My going through of each day in their life with them, no matter how dark or arduous  it is. Each life is broken in a way or another, yet also restored too by me in their own special way. I love them uniquely, and so do each of them. So goes for you, My child. May you see today as this place fills up, that I am able and willing, and inexhaustible however much the number of people comes. For I am the God of heaven & on earth, who cannot be confounded. I love you, and I will always delight in giving and blessing you."

Foodie On The Loose: Uncle Leong Seafood Restaurant @ Toa Payoh.

Dinner with the caregroup committee last Friday at Uncle Leong Seafood, where we got to indulge in a hearty meal over jokes and laughters. :) Was pleasantly surprised when the total bill came up to only $198, considering the 10 of us ordered 2 1kg crabs at $50/kg, and double portions of almost every other dish. Except for the crabs, I was pretty impressed with the taste standards at Uncle Leong's, with the claypot tofu & chinese spinach with eggs being my favorite of all. The crabs were fresh, but I was sorely disappointed by the Shimmering Sand crab & Chilli crab, only because it seems to lack the oomph! taste factor I would get eating at Melben or G7 Sinma Seafood.

Shimmering Sand Crab Delight: The crispy flakes on top of the crab were crispy, but tasteless. The sauce was a mix between creamy & buttery, yet lacks the fragrance of the butter.

Chilli crab: Uncle Leong's chilli crab was more toward the peppery spicy kind, rather than the G7 Sinma tomato/chilli mix kind. The sauce was spicy, but not the taste I was accustomed to having as the SG version of chilli crab cooking style.

John 15:16 Saturday.

One of the best Saturdays this year, which started off on a happy note! EPIC movie x Ramen Champion date with Grace on Saturday, before I scoot off for serving. Had so much fun laughing in the cinema & shopping at Sephora, even though it was a tad rush due to our limited time. :P


A seemingly simple verse written on a card by our RS leader, which The Lord had used to speak to me. 

We took turns to shared with the team, how this verse has spoke to us. For me who used to be in the school netball team, to be chosen by the coach and appointed a position to play would mean coach has seen potential in me, skills I can contribute that would be an advantage to the team. Similarly, to be chosen and appointed with this role in RS by the Lord would mean He has already placed in me gifts that would enable to be a help to the team & also to be caretaker over His house. That is why we don't need to strive nor be stressed over; we can because He has caused us to be. 

I was given a role switch the same day coincidentally, and with that verse in my heart I went ahead to serve in an usher role, noticing that what seems hard in the past for me to approach people and get them to be seated where we needed them to, was effortless that service! It was one of the best serving experiences I had since a long time! :)

I went home and meditated on the verse again, when the Lord spoke to me and say, "I chose. I appointed. It is not by chance nor did you choose to be in a ministry or position, but it was all in His plan. It is because I who created you also foresee all things, so I know best what giftings I have placed in you to serve in where you are called at, regardless of if you feel you can or not. Chosen & appointed, not because I want something from you, but that WHATEVER you ask daddy God in Jesus name, I will give it to you, because you are Mine. And for you to bear fruit means you are planted well & growing, blessed to become a blessing not because of your own efforts, but simply because you are chosen and appointed."

It's all undeserved & unmerited. That is true grace; it enables, it is effortless. It is the emptying of oneself. It is taking a step back inside of us and letting Him lead. It is to humble down and just availing all that we are, that He can work mightily with all that He has put together in this fleshly body to work for His glory.

So real, so relatable.
