Walk with Christ

hello! It's been awhile again since this blog is up to date, well, hope everyone is doing good and well yea. Nothing much here, just a little update with this blog hahaa, need to freshen up this blog as it's about the end of year hahaa..

How's your life so far, since the month of Jan 2008 till today, and how is your Spiritual grow? Is it growing or maybe decreasing? Have God speaks to you now and then? Or have you missed the conversation with Him? Or maybe have you seek Him today? Indeed, it's never too late, God is still waiting for you, and still whispering in your ears...Listen carefully, He is speaking to you. Take a moment to have a good conversation with Him.

We might wonder, how our life need to get back on track after the disaster of work, projects, studies, exams etc. Have you wonder how? Frankly, I use to wonder those things, like how and all. But one good thing is that I have the Bible who put me back on track. The powerful thing about the Gospel is awesome. It guides you well when you are at the end of the cliff. God put you back on track with his words, He loves you, adores you, what more? His love is everlasting and unfailing. Read John 3:16, He sent his one and only Son to die for us.

I encourage you guys to continue to walk with Him. Take opportunity to serve Him, not only in church but everywhere, everything surrounds you, the people, people that you hates, your love ones and those who are in need of God's love. Give thanks and rejoice in the Lord, may our Lord Jesus Christ bless you in every way and the desires in your heart.

Colossians 2:6-7
6 So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, 7 rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.

Are we like Jonah?

hey fellow brothers of Christ!

Just to keep this blog alive, and am here to post a sharing again. Well, I hope it will
be short and nice, as not be too wordy and all. haha.

I was reading in the Book of Jonah yesterday and it struck me with a question "Am I running away from God's work?" Or maybe when God tells you to do something but you tend to turn away. Have you feel that way? Try giving one moment about it, when God gently speaks to your ears, but your response is denying.

Brothers, as I think many would say "Later or maybe some other time and so on", well, what if you miss it? Is there any second chance and all?

I encouraged you guys to read the Book of Jonah. It's encouraging, and it really put you back to path where God wants you to be. And here a little structure in the Book of Jonah..

God speaks to Jonah to go to the great city of Nineveh, but Jonah eventually ran away from God's calling. After which, he went to Joppa and boarded a ship heading to Tarshish. While sailing on the ship, Jonah fell to deep sleep without knowing that there is a raging storm outside. The ship people were crying out to their gods. Subsequently, the ship captain woke him up, and questioned him..

Further more, Jonah was threw out of the ship and a giant fish ate Jonah.. In the fish Jonah cried to the Lord..

As you read further, you will see how merciful is our God. And He gave Jonah a second chance to do His work..

I was in Jonah's shoe last night, when God tells me to go for my dad's court hearing today (as some of you know what happen to my dad). First of all, as I was in the bed, I said to myself that I don't wanna go and I questioned myself what's the point of going. Subsequently, a voice speak thru my ears and ask me to read the Book of Jonah, great thing, God presence felt and he tells me to go for my dad's court hearing. I got up from bed and told my mum to wake me up tmr as wanted to go along. And as for today, I went to the court. I was wondering what if I didn't turn up, would there be a messed? or like the raging storm and all? or even people start asking that is your dad, why don't you go?..

I would like to thank God first of all, He showed the path. Sometimes there's a time when we are like Jonah when God ask you to this and you turn your back. Tell you this, God's calling is not only going out to preach and all, God's calling is all in those tiny little ones which we easily reject, try asking yourself, how are we gonna do the bigger ones if we easily reject those smaller calling? Are we gonna make it for the bigger ones?..

I hope this short post be an encouragement to all. Friends, God is calling you in your tiny little ministry, be sensitive with your ears to God's calling, don't tell God about another time, date or so on. Start doing it today. Pray to God that you will be sensitive to His smaller calling and all, pray for His strength and encouragement, pray for His angels to fight for the spiritual war, pray for His path and light that brings to your desire. It's not easy to fight in this spiritual war by yourself, pray in Jesus name yea. He is the source of strength and guidance, He will..

Philippians 1:9
I pray that your love will overflow more and more, and that you will keep on growing in knowledge and understanding.

Hi!

hellos to all!
I guess its another long time again for this blog to be updated haha, and apologies to all first of all. Well, ya, SG has yet to be present once again, also most of us is tight with our own schedule like work, school, with outside friends and etc. And SG meeting are occupied with the schedule that we have. I supposed its tiring ya. Like myself quite busy, also with sat or sun occupied with working schedule, and worst still the upcoming F1 deployments around the corner haa!, why in the world, a small country like Spore organized such a thing haha, question?lol, I don't know what to say. Well. let's forget about that, and focus with our purpose in life.

And ya! Oct we will be going for Prawn fishing ya! Maybe I should organize more activities just to ease out from work stress, how about that? Sound relaxing ya? And I have objection to that, I need to work on that date, I'm sound like the spoil-market now hahaha, but no doubt we shall see how it goes eh! Fyi, this month the only sats that I can join for SG is on the 20th which falls on my second off. So i shall take the opportunity to discuss about it, *Johan, I will take the lead! hahaha!

And one last thing, a little word of encouragement to all my brother in Christ. If during this period of time, you feel you are away from God, from His word or from His presence of worship, I shall say, He still with us, with me, you and everyone always, He will never abandon you. Let's keep the faith growing ya!


Philippians 4:10-13
10I rejoice greatly in the Lord that at last you have renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you have been concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it. 11I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. 12I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. 13I can do everything through him who gives me strength.

News!

Hey bros!

I have a news here for the small group. Recently, a group of my colleagues went for Prawn Fishing at somewhere around Lakeside area, heard from them its not bad kind of outing, somehow chilling kind hahaa. So as I wonder maybe we could go there and do some activity just to ease out our stress-ness, busy-ness, laziness and put us away from work or whatsoever and to chill! The interesting of this prawn-fishing is that you can BBQ the prawn right away after your catch. Yea, there's various places e.g. Bishan, Pasir Ris, Lakeside and Marina South..

Maybe more to small group bonding and all. Also can ask the rest of the small groups to join if they wanna tag along too. I plan it to be some time this or next month, just a rough dates. If you guys have any date that suitable, can get back to me ya! The outing may sound silly as to go for prawn-fishing, but let's not to think about being silly yea! Think of fellowship and bonding with Christ! So yea, I need your response, can ya?

A lot of thankyou for your reply!

regards,
raimy

With Everything

hey its been great, wonderful and a blessing week I should say yea. With small group meeting, youth service and NDP, its a blessing! Small group we have discussed about taking the lead, who's next? Are we still gonna depend on our brother Johan? Jiayi and Huzaen? Well, I do believed that there's a capable ones among us, indeed everyone of us can lead. Just take a look at how we did Bible Study on the book of Romans? We CAN lead yea! And ofcos, we need to rely onto God's guidance too!

And we supposed to discuss about SIN. What is SIN to you? Lust? Temptation? Or simply anything. Some times I have a thought, why are we keep on sinning, and why sins always knock on our mind? Is it because we are imperfect? Yes, we are imperfect. I do think some times I myself don't deserved God's love. But God always poured His love to you no matter what.

A short testimony:
The other day while I was on my way back from SG, there's this strong thoughts, I was asking myself, am I deserve for Your love? and I replied, Father, I don't think I deserve, someone out there is more deserving than me. Its because I know you Father, but I still fall to sin. Why Lord?.
And the next thing, a voice speaks thru my ears, says its because you are undeserved, that is why My love keep on pouring to you, as you have believed in me the God of love, which I have sent my Son for you. After awhile, I was quite shocked and in my heart I rejoice. In my heart I keep on praising Him, and thank Him. He is Lord. God is good! Its just a shocking moment, God is with me, and He is with you too! He takes away your sin up on the cross, and His love is unfailing.

Its a sharing from me, hope it will give you guys encouragement in what you are doing, well have a blessed week! And remember, God is with you, He loves you! God bless!

regards,
raimy
