Glory

People think that we will nv make it.
We will never reach but I cannot explain why there is a feeling of faith in me.

It is no longer about me but He who is in me.
That feeling of substance and vision is nagging my very soul..
It simply will nt leave.

There may come a day when we may fail and wonder what happened, but it is not today.
There may come a day when all the naysayers got it right and say, 'see, see, tt bunch of losers', but it is not today.
There may come a day when we have to part from unity and walk our seperate ways, but it is not today.
There may come a day when we make a fiasco of our lives and that we know its all over but it is not today.

Today I see the vision of glory, substance and success... Today I feel like a winner inside of me.
It is not psychology... I am a winner because God is one and today He stirs in me that spirit of victory...

There will come a day when the enemies will shatter our helmets and splinter our swords and shield BUT it is not today.

Today we will take the field.. with raw faith and giving all what little we have...
So God help us.

You say let the weak say they are strong.
Today our weakness is made perfect in You.

Fame is temporary, Obscurity is forever..- Napoleon Bonaparte
How apt...

I don't know what holds tomorrow but Glory and Fame is for today.
History is yesterday but History making is today..

Details determine Destiny..

This is absolutely true...
I can think of at least 6-7 people in one second whose life was determined by details.

or even events in my life.

Worship

I am going to go in without fear...


Hebrews 11:6 (New King James Version)

6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

I don't know what to say..

A Sweet Soul

Some pretty good verses... took away about a 1000 words.

1. Leviticus 10:3

This is what the LORD spoke, saying:
By those who come near Me
I must be regarded as holy;
And before all the people
I must be glorified.’”


2. James 3:16-17

16 For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there. 17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy

Thai Express

I went to Holland Village on foot from Buona Vista in a drizzle on Sunday Afternoon... zzzzz....



Dun know which good friend tell me its very near (though I do need to thank the friend for many favours) and the map was so deceiving..



By the time I reached, I needed a coffee so I wun faint of excitement..



The DJ on 933 was just talking about dreams...



I dream a lot...

I am always dreaming about myself in many places.



Sometimes the dreams are so good because it was what I wanted so much that I would cry when I woke up and find out that it was not reality because it was always so real in my dreams. Those were big dreams.. I was all over the world. I was in front of a multitude...



Sometimes the dreams are so bad because my deepest fears materialised in the dreams and I would wake up in cold sweat all over..



I always wanted to be in the army.. so when I went to NS, I was excited I am going to be away from home which at that time was not much of a home anyway..



I prayed I would end up in the infantry and I was there.

I prayed I would not be doing just what everyone was doing and I rode the bike.

I prayed I would be strong all my NS life and I was.

So I was actually very blessed in army and I went to taiwan twice and thailand once.

If I could go for more exercises, I would..



I got injured in a huge race in my division. But I completed the race and I was not the last. I overtook many who were without injuries. I was determined to win that race. I scored 90% for the shoot in the middle of that race using a rifle which was not zeroed to my eye.

I proved what the adverts said, that SAR 21 needed no zeroing so the rifle is not that bad after all. Our team came in 7th, not fantastic but that was a victory. Everyone came through it in great spirits.



Some people around me thought the race was a huge crap. Some superficially encouraged me but they thought nothing of it. I shared my victory with the people in church and they congratulate me (with a what-happened? look) but I knew they had no inkling of what the victory was for me. I ran it with God. The division commander is the smartest guy that ever commanded the division. Infact even the regulars in the army din know what it was for.. they jus knew that it was a huge event... The huge race was to build up combat fitness across the units in the division much like the OPMs we have in church. Even those who have been in the army would spit at that and say that is huge crap but combat fitness has saved many lives and made armies won victories jus like OPMs.



Some in the army, on the other hand, took it too seriously. The Battalion CO gave out medals and formed dream teams.. I mean there was no glory in the race. It was all in the name of great fun. He treated it like a huge battle.. haha... I just wanted to run. Dun ask me what I have learnt or gained out of it, I did not.. I just wanted to run.. I was so happy then. The world was in my hands. All I did was all I ever wanted. I was always happy. I was on top of the world.

I would give everything up just to run that race again.. it was the best thing that happened to me.



Why can't things be just for fun? Why must it be for a purpose? Why must it be something important? Why must I learn something out of everything? Why would the army be wasting our time? I joined the mainstream flow and criticise the army with everyone else. but it was never what my heart meant... I long to be in the fields of Thailand and the hills in Taiwan than anywhere else.



Hard to believe right? but I have been dreaming about being in the army since I was a kid. I was who I am and was happy back then.



I went to the infantry because I knew that was where the real army was. I was so excited. But there was a few disppointments, infantry didn't turn out to be as exciting as I thought it would be... No one took the training seriously.



No one thought the infantry was important. Everyone thought it was the Airforce or the big guns in the Artillery or the big vehicles in the Armour Battalion... but all history has shown Infantry to be the single most important Arm in any army.



So many battles were decided by the quality of the infantry that I cannot believe how little infantry was thought of in the SAF. The Army will pay for this in blood if we ever went to war. You put the least educated, least trustworthy men in the most important arm and all you get is a screwed battalion.



And now some smart kids think mechanising all infantry would make it better.. lol. Another idea was to label soldiers with unit and arm tags.. lol.

I heard 10th Mono's CO was a genius. One 4-day exercise every 2 weeks and He would make sure his battalion books out on thursday on the exercise week. His battalion probably suxed at parade discipline and many other sai kangs.. but they beat the shit out of the ATEC company. They were the battalion to score a 1 against ATEC. We got a 2B..

Well its all over and I had fun...

I am actually very evil...

Whenever I feel like cursing people I love and wished they were dead, I remind my soul that God is in control and that He loves all of us.

There were times when I wished God just loved ME alone and no other but its not true...
The wish is true though...

So I keep my mouth shut and wait... I know its my fault most of the time but I always wished it were somebody else's fault. Because why does it always have to be me?

I am not kind nor loving nor very holy, so the next time things start to piss me off, know that I am always pleading the blood of Jesus over my soul so that I will not blow up and eat people up..

Haha... now you know how evil I am.. wonder how many will read this... I think people who read this already know this.. so its ok..

Number 51

Then you shall know that I am the LORD, when I have dealt with you for My name’s sake, not according to your wicked ways nor according to your corrupt doings, O house of Israel,” says the Lord GOD.’”

God lets His people know by experience and by life that the rise and fall of nations, churches, powers, groups and even individuals are in His control. No man holds the power nor key to raise or put down, kill or revive, give or take away except by God's hands.

Then you shall know who to seek in times of trouble, in times of distress, you shall run to the LORD your God because He shall raise you up. In the event He decides to kill, no man can escape.

Then you shall confess with your tongue, your soul and entire being that He is Lord and that nothing you can do will change that.

Then you will realise He loves you and that nothing that happened ever happened without Him.

Then when you fall you will know that no man except Him will raise you up because He has claimed your life for Himself.

Then you will know in your soul that everything is working for good in your life.
Because He has called you. Whether you realise it or not is immaterial.
He will make sure you find Him.

For if He has the power to bring empires and entire generations to their kneels, then He will know how to bring you into His embrace. Trust Him, He will not miss nor will He have one flaw in His plan.

Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; You are Mine.

If My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

Philippians 3:8-11

Philippians 3:8-11 (New King James Version)

8 Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ

9 and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith;

10 that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death,

11 if, by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.
