Assumptions

It’s funny how parents start to think of their child as both parties gets older year by year.

My dad just asked me to invite my girlfriend for dinner with the family.

The thing really off about it is this: I don’t have one.

Insights

I just went through another week, but this week’s different.

This week is unlike all the other weeks of the year which I’ve been through.

It’s great to have hindsight, so that we can look back on our mistakes and learn from them. Having foresight is even better, I have visions and dreams of what will happen in the future. What’s best of all, is insight. Self-reflection. Man, I hold on to Pastors’ teachings dearly cause they are the ones who help mold my character.

It’s amazing how the speed of growth which one grows in the ministry is very much dependent on he himself, and as well as his relationship with God.

1 Corinthians 1:26-31
Glory Only in the Lord

26 For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called. 27 But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; 28 and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, 29 that no flesh should glory in His presence. 30 But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God—and righteousness and sanctification and redemption— 31 that, as it is written, “He who glories, let him glory in the LORD.”

It’s so easy to grow weary when you rely on your own strength. However, when you walk in the favour of God, breakthroughs are easy.

For God has given me the spiritual gifts of a FOH Engineer, I shall use it to glorify Him, and Him only. He who glories, let him glory in the LORD.

Now, an FOH of 2000.
Soon, FOH of 5000.
Future, FOH of tens of thousands.

Man, I just love this. Now I can do my adjustments in any part of the auditorium.

Smile when there isn’t a reason to

Sometimes it’s really easy to feel tired when you’re doing lots of routine work and you’re always under stress whenever you’re on it.

Sometimes it’s really easy to just give up and just walk away.

Really, at the end of the day, it’s the people whom you fellowship with keeps you going, keeps you running.

Thanks for lifting me up during the day. Real women lift the men up so that we, the men, can rise up.

And all the real men say, amen!

My Funny Mother

Prayed for the salvation of my family today during leaders’ meeting and when I came home I talked to my mum.

Me: What’s the netting for? (Mum pulled out a shorts which was in a netting from the washing machine)

Mum: It’s to protect the clothes.

Me: Protect in what way? You put it in and it gets churned in the washing machine with the rest of the clothes.

Mum: Protect in a way that it won’t die by getting trampled upon by the other clothes.

This is the kind of answers I get when I ask my mum questions.

On My Two Feet

This is it.

Or rather,

It Could Have Been It.

Man, the show was really amazing. Seeing how Michael Jackson did his rehearsals and how tight the band was together was awesome. Caught it together with the worship ministry at Vivo sitting in Gold Class on Sunday and it was like my first time sitting in Gold Class. It was such a virgin experience and when I sat into my seat I started playing with the controls for the chair, meddling with the controls to adjusting the seat from being an upright position to another.

It would have been a concert the world has never seen before if it wouldn’t have been his sudden death. All the new arrangements of his older songs, the dance moves and even right down to the new musicians which the director hired to play for Michael. Orianthi Panagaris was even playing for Michael and doing what she always does best.

In short, the movie was totally awesome man. I will definitely get the DVD, only if special features are available. If not… You know what I mean.

Zone C Steamboat outing was a blast and it was one of the best fellowship sessions I’ve ever had in a long while. I hardly ever went so hyper before in front of these people cause I’m always at the castle at the back of the audi doing what I do best most of the time. These people got shocked when they experienced who I am on the inside, that’s when I’m off duty. Talking to people like Su Ling was really amazing cause apparently I made her laugh till her stomach was pain.

I caught up with Mee Han and we started talking about the past, about things like how we used to fight PO (parental objection) years back. Reflecting, man, we used to be so radical fighting PO, being able to do all sorts of stuff just so that we could attend service and serve in ministries. I thank God for these people who pulled me along with them, otherwise I could have been left behind and walked out of the fight.

This month is really exciting. Looking forward to the end of the month. I’ll be working with Parachute band!

Tired

Why is it that every single time when I’m on the brink of breaking through to the next, higher level, the devil will always attack me at the same point.

It’s always the same problem that arises.

I wish that the devil can be in some form of a human so that I can do some krav maga moves on him and beat the crap out of him.

Not a single bit of it.

17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
2 Corinthians 5:17

Our Lord has never nurses our prejudices, He mortifies them, runs clean athwart them. We imagine that God has a special interest in our particular prejudices; we are quite sure that God will never deal with us as He has to deal with other people. “God must deal with other people in a very stern way, but of course He knows that my prejudices are all right.” We have to learn – “Not a bit of it!” Instead of God being on the side of our prejudices, He is deliberately wiping them out. It is part of our moral education to have our prejudices run straight across by His providence, and to watch how He does it. God pays no respect to anything we bring to Him. There is only one thing God wants of us, and that is our unconditional surrender.

When we are born again, the Holy Spirit begins to work His new creation in us, and there will come a time when there is not a bit of the old order left, the old solemnity goes, the old attitude to things goes and “all things are of God.” How are we going to get the life that has no lust, no self-interest, no sensitiveness to pokes, the love that is not provoked, that thinketh no evil, that is always kind? The only way is by allowing not a bit of the old life to be left; but only simple perfect trust in God, such trust that we no longer want God’s blessings, but only want Himself. Have we come to the place where God can withdraw His blessings and it does not affect our trust in Him? When once we see God at work, we will never bother our heads about things that happen, because we are actually trusting in our Father in Heaven Whom the world cannot see.

- My Utmost For His Highest – October 23

This whole devotional passage for today has changed my perspective of a verse which I’ve long known since 4 years ago.

Too quick to rejoice

Everything happens for a reason.

I rejoiced too quickly when I saw my timetable. Just the first day of the new semester and I know why I have a slack timetable. A slack timetable that comes with multiple content-heavy and project-heavy modules kind of balance things out.

Man, going through this semester will be a test of faith.

Jesus You increase, I decrease.

That Important Note

Love is a many splendored thing.

Love can be shown in many different ways.

It’s something nothing can buy.

I’d just like to appreciate you and thank you,
my friend.
