WHEN IS YOUR APPOINTMENT?
Yep, that's the next highlight of our lives. Well, at least for Saturday nite. Has the movie got you all thinking of where you stand? Honestly, it "pained" me to challenge you all the way i did, but my conviction was just too strong to ignore. There is nothing in the world that can assure us of our salvation, our eternal life with God. $$, good deeds will not give us that assurance. It is the Word of God that we must turn to, to be assured of our position and standing before the Lord, Our God. 1 John 5:11,12.
Yes, it "pained" Auntie very much to see so many of you sitting down there, not sure of where you will be heading for eternity.... to see the expressions on your faces... maybe you were just too shy to come forward to profess your faith, maybe you just follow the crowd, maybe you are lost, maybe you were unsure....but it really does matter when you take that stand! I prayed that after that nite, all of you will reflect on your lives and not be ashamed of the Gospel for it is the power of salvation to those who believe.
So be ready for your "Appointment".
When is your appointment?

Youth Sunday 23/07
IGNITE!
Yes, that was the theme for our Youth Sunday Celebration today. Praise the Lord that EVERYTHING went well in the morning service.
Looking and reflecting back to all those saturday morning breakfasts, 'endless' meetings and practices.... I come to know JT, Leo, Aaron and understand them better now. The actors and actresses were great too! I really enjoyed all the time spent there with them, practising and rehearsing for their Sunday.
Finally the day itself. O how my heart sang this morning when i walked in and saw the youths wearing red (united we stand!) and looking excited. Usheres were in place, musical instruments checked, etc etc.....
The short sketch went well. and I believe that ppl are touched by the message.
Ladies and Gents, all your efforts were not in vain. Praise the Lord !
However, it is not so for the evening service...........
When Unc KC started to present, the mic did not work properly, the movie lagged and worst of all the 2006 youth convention promo could not even launched! (unc Clement's pc)
Haih...so pai seh....
Well, that's life and al least I learnt a lesson from tonight's experience. Always be prudent! Nothing is in vain....... there is always a purpose.
Life...... how do you live yours?
I thank the Lord for the following:-
1. for being my comforter and guide, in giving me wisdom
2. being being the cornerstone of my life and
3. answering my prayer.
Father Lord God Almighty, since 3rd July till today, i have nothing worthy in my life but praises for your steadfast love, for your never ending mercies and your faithfulness. And indeed Father, Thou hast been faithful in Your Word to your servant " Seek and ye shall find. ask and it shall be given, knock and it shall be open unto you."
Rev Tie's teaching on Revelation provokes me to question the way i had lived the 39 years of my life and how i should live the remainder of it in the future. In Galation 2: 20, 21 " I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer i who live, but Christ who lives in me, and the life i now live in the flesh, i live by faith in the Son of God, who loves me and gave himself for me".
Which church am i and how do i manage the ministry that i am called to served in?
1. Church of Ephesus - The Church that has lost its first love
2. Church of Smyrna - The Church that was persecuted for their faith?
3. Church of Pegamos - The Church that compromised in their teaching
4. Church of Thyatira - The Church that compromised in their practice
5. Church of Sardis - A dead church
6. Church of Ahiladelphia - The Faithful Church
7. Church of Laodicea - The Worthless Church (lack of genuine faith)
Teach me o Lord, to follow thy ways...... to live a life worthy of your calling.....
Mourning Monday
O Lord, Thou alone knowest my mixed emotions today.... Be my comforter, be my guide as i move on with my life today.
