Salvation Altar Calls

u would have noticed that there are salvation altar calls every weekend. We always ask our new friends whether they want to respond to God. That is one of the most important things that could happen in anyone's life.

YET, despite the truth of God's word, some friends respond and some do not.

If you realise also, there are some Christians among us that seem to be able to move the hearts of friends more than others.

I asked God why.

I always thought inviting someone to respond to salvation altar calls should be one of the most natural and easy thing to do for a Christian yet it doesn't feel so.

Well the answer came to me as I pass by a funeral.
God asked me what is the condition of the guy in the casket?
I was thinking, "Dead?"
Then I was reminded of the scriptures where Peter faced away from the dead body he was gg to resurrect.
Death sucks away our faith. Thus Peter prayed before he confronted Death.

Non Christians are spiritually dead people. If they are spiritually alive, that will be doubly scary.
We are all like Peter. We are trying to resurrect some dead spiritual men here.

We need that faith when we ask our friends.
We ask but sometimes we do not expect anything to happen.
Nothing will happen.
Sometimes they do go down even when we had no faith.
but its not because of some non-origin miracle.

We need to go the distance in our spirits when we ask.
We wrestle against powers and principalities.
We cannot underestimate the amount of faith needed in such an encounter.
We wrestle not against FLESH and BLOOD but POWERS and PRINCIPALITIES.

There are cases where not much wrestling is needed.
The reason is because the battle was already won somewhere before the altar call.
I won this kind of battle before and truly this is the best form of the battle.
Even before u go in, u know u will win.
It takes effort but it is worth it.

There is a very important thing that happens in nature which Christians need to realise.
Its something called gestation.
People always read about Jesus' explosive 3 and a half year ministry, Peter bringing 3000 to salvation in one service etc etc. Yet the gestation for such miracles to be born is hugely long.

Jesus Son of God took 30 years. Moses took 80. Joshua took 40. Jacob a similar number of years. Every hero of faith had a long gestation period or what we would call preparation periods.

Do not expect maggi mee style miracles all the time. If you live on that, where is the substance there of?

Sustain, be continuous in the spirit. Forget about slacking. Forget about freebies from heaven.
I mean if they come i would grab them like a true Singaporean. But they are not my source of happiness nor proof of partnership with God Almighty.

I would treasure my position as a intelligent co-worker with God more than any spiritual handout and blessings. Leaders grab from God continuously to give to themselves and followers.

Friends, build works that stand the test of fire.

These Days

Been very busy these few days.
Its been days in which I found many of my own weaknesses crippling myself.
But its also days which tells me where to go from here on.
So overall its good.

Haha about the previous entry.. Its jus the feeling some girls give me.

hmmm, Guys who read literature have hearts which move faster than their brains.
Ok.. its personal opinion..

Beautiful Girls read Literature..

Beautiful Girls read literature.. Girls who read literature are Beautiful.
Because it seems like literature was written for them..
jus a thought, a funny thought.

3 things you should never do in your life..

Number 1: Never shut down your Brains. You are as useless as the computer that you are sitting at right now.

Number 2: Never let your Guard down. You might suddenly act like the Devil is your best friend.

Number 3: Never Complain even if you are tired. You will only get more tired and end up doing number 1 and number 2. Warning: You will regret!!

“[Do Not Love the World] Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For everything in the world—the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does—comes not from the Father but from the world.”- 1 John 2:15-16

Remember when you wanna get a lift from someone, ALWAYS CHECK!!! CHECK WHAT?
CHECK WHO IS AT THE STEERING WHEEL!!! hahahaha....

The purpose...

When we realise and remember the purpose of everything we do, we become very sure of the way we should act or speak.

Foolishness is forgetting the purpose and acting recklessly.

Forgetting our purpose in life will result in leading our lives in insanity.

If we are aware of our purpose, we remain alert to the conduct of our lives.

Over 30 000 men set off with Gideon to overcome the enemies.
Fear took away two thirds and lack of alertness took away one third.
Only 300 went in to slay the enemies.

Be ready in season and out of season.
There are billions of christians out there. There will only be a small percentage who will overcome the enemies of our age and time.
Let it be you..

Well...Continued

I want to go to France.
I will need a one way ticket to Marseilles.
Then I will take a taxi to its harbour.
There will be boats.
They will bring me to this Island called Corsica.

And I will see the legionnaires.
And then I will stay with them.
And maybe tell them more about Singapore and my church.

That Look..

It was that look in the eyes.
That look which brings memories away..
That look which calmed the heart and all its pains and burdens.
The world faded away in that instant.

I was no painter and i could not draw those eyes.
I had no camera and could not capture a photograph.
I was no poet i could not write a beautiful verse.
But one thing I knew.

A heart that once was dead but now alive.
so I set that look on the mould of my heart.
So it calms me down.
so that I remember why I chose the things I chose.

Yet nothing lasts forever.
maybe God
But not that look.
And I knew I may not see it again.

So it was I had to leave those eyes behind
And find that brave new world.
Because I have a dream I need to walk.
So someday by some miracle, I want to see those eyes again.

If I were you...

yea... if I were you..
haha..
try to use that e next time but for now..
Let it bleed..
Let it hurt..
