Success

SUCCESS

What is the right key to success?

Everyone yearns to be a successful person , including myself . I was disappointed, discouraged when I found myself not in the path of success.

Today, I was strongly distressed and disappointed with myself . I was struck down by the thought that , I'm leaving too far away from Success.

Then , later tonight, God spoke through my environment and the friends I knew, they encouraged me although they did not know I was disappointed. Thanks to them, now I don't find myself as non-successful , yet it inspires me to reflect on " How do we define Success " ?

To each one of us, Success is measured in quantities or in amounts . Example, our achievements and awards will define how successful you are. However, Success in quantities does not bring any contentment , it brings greed , it deprives you to ask for more, and if you don't , you will sink into the torrents of disappointment. That's how I felt today.

God does not define the same way as we do. To God, no matter how much quantities or amounts you do, there will never be enough. Who can earn grace through deeds ? God defines success as how much have you done according to God's will and purpose. God does not ask for how many awards you have, he ask for how much will you do for him , how much have you done for him.

This is what comforts me when I knew that, although I'm may not be perfect in all ways , I admit that I'm not the best compared to others . But , at the very least, I had done something that pleases God , and that is my success.

Are you still measuring success with quantities or using God's measures ?

God bless !

The Right Approach

THE RIGHT APPROACH

“This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him.”
( 1 John 5 : 14-15 )

what will you say when Jesus asks what he can do for you ?

This afternoon, I came across to the verse above when I was surfing the internet . It inspired me with a thought - making the right approach .

I believe everyone had the experience of ordering set meals in a restaurant. The first sentence that most waiter or waitress will pop out is " What can I help you ?" or " May I help you ?".

In the same way, Jesus is asking everyone of us " What can I help you ?", but not all of us make the right approach.

What will you tell the waiter when he asked what can he do ? We will tell him what we wanted to order.

However, this does not happen in our prayers to God. When God ask what can he do for us , usually we beat around the bush . We thought or expected that God will know what we need. But that's not the right approach. Most people dare not to bring their needs to Jesus - simply because they do not have the confidence in God's providence and faithfulness , they are afraid of disappointment.

We make the right approach simply by telling what we need and believe in him. There's once when Jesus healed a blind man in Jericho. Jericho is a city that does not know God , and in the Bible , Jericho is a city that carries God's curse. Why did Jesus walked there ? Because he knew that someone needs him.

God knows our every needs, but he will not granted them unless we bring it before him.

When the blind man heard of Jesus , he immediately shouted for Jesus's help. Here's the interesting part of the story ,

Jesus : " What can I do for you "?
Blind : " I want to see ."
Jesus: " So shall it be " .

From here, we see the blind man made the right approach. He directly told his needs to Jesus Christ and he got what he wanted ! Sometimes, I had to admit that I don't make the right approach too ! I beat around the bush when I'm expressing my needs - simply because I'm too shy to tell Jesus about them.

Friends, stop being shy with Jesus Christ. He knows you and he understand your needs. 

Now, Jesus is asking you " What can I do for you " ? Do make the right approach - tell him your needs , your doubts , everything.

Lastly,  may Hebrews 4 : 16 be an encouragement for you to make the right approach ,

Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

God Bless !

When God's Plan Fails

When God's Plan Fails

Jeremiah 29 : 11
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Have you ever break a promise ? How will you feel when someone breaks a promise ? I believe in both situations , whether breaking a promise or someone breaks a promise - we will definitely not be happy , perhaps sad or getting angry.

How about God ? Will he ever break a promise.  God will never break a promise - but sometimes God will " delay " or "forward" a promise.

When God delays a promise , he had his reasons . Once, God delayed his promise ,  I felt disappointed with him . In my mind , I keep thinking why wouldn't God keep his word until I saw promise being fulfilled , then I realised that God has his timing . When he delay something - it means he had a better timing and a better plan ahead. I often said to myself, when plan A fails, plan B is better.

God will also bring forward a promise - the reason he only makes it fulfilled earlier because we were ready .

God will never break a promise , because breaking a promise means denying on your word. God will never deny on his word because he is faithful .

Lastly, what promise has God made for you . I had one , which I didn't share it to the public - that is he promised me that I will have a ___________________________.

Sometimes, God wouldn't want us to publicily declare his promise and making the whole world know because he had only promised you , and he wants it to be a secret for you and him.

God loves us and undeniably we serve a good God. Man will go back on his words, but God wouldn't . We may not understand why God push forward or backward of his promises to us , but surely there will be a good time for it to be fulfilled.

Afternotes : How can we be sure that is God's promise and how long should I wait?
I couldn't explain to you clearly, but I can only share with you my experience.

When God makes his promise, I doubted a lot of times too . I wasn't sure its true , so I asked for signs and I keep it quietly . ( You can ask for signs to prove and if there are signs , you know its a promise )

Second, when God makes a promise he will tell you how long it will take. If he didn't it means that the timing is depends on you and how well you trust God.

Third, when you know its a promise, God will prepare you for the promise. I'm not a person that likes to write diary, but God asked me to write down what happens each day on a note book , and surprisingly through my diary entries, I can see that the promise is getting closer each day to fulfill.
Fourtn , God's promise don't contradict.It wouldn't be today is positive, tomorrow is negative , it remains constant,

Lastly, before it fulfills, God will give you a signal to hint its ready , just like before throwing out your last card in a UNO game, you have to shout UNO game.

God's promise is for everyone, sometimes we need to wait and be ready for it, don't hesistate, just believe ! God bless !

Maturity



MATURITY

When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me . For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

1 Corinthians 13 : 11-12



When I'm in Primary 1



How many of you still remember your childhood memories ? I still remember mine , how I used to call my parents when they are busy and how I always dreamt of growing up like my parents. Yet,as a young adult ,  I wished to go back to my young and carefree days.





Growing up is a process that everyone had to face it. We grow in size , appearance, the way we deal with situations.

When I was young , my parents always said to me - watch out for cars , don't play with fire and etc . I think most of people  share the same experience as I have.



2011 - 19years old



But, as I've grown up , my parents said to me - Drive often , Cook often , they hoped that I could take up more responsibilities right now.



Putting such theory into our faith , when we are like a child (we just began to know him) - God take care of us slowly and carefully . As we grow to be more like him , more committed to him , God as our father will let go and trying to let us taking up more responsibility . This is how we grow in faith - our faith should be growing not maintaining at one stage.

There's an old song called " Dear Sarah " . The Sarah in the song kept asking her mother what would she be when she grow up . I used to ask my mother what would happen when I grow up - Are you ready to grow into Christ-likeness , are you ready to grow and face whatever situations you had in life ? May we all today , be like Sarah - grow up !





Trust

Trust



Like a child trusting his father would catch him
We should also trust that our heavenly father will catch us

 Are you a trustworthy person ? Who do you trust the most ? In fact, we can hardly find trust in a world that is rapidly changing and when everyone only think about themselves.

Truly indeed , we find hard in trusting someone . However trust is very important to us and with our relationship with others . Can you imagine a life without trust - everything would be shattered into pieces .

What is trust ? Trust isn't faith. Faith is committing but TRUST is NO doubting , having confidence . Faith is only the first step we take , Trust is the next .

How can we trust someone ? We find hard to trust because we are afraid of the future result. First step of trusting is to remove the fear of the future result ( either good or bad ). Don't set a target or a result , sometimes things may have another way round .

Two , entrust the person or situation to God. What does it mean to entrust ? It means you transfer . Transfer your rights to God . Transfer that situation / person and letting God be in charge . Learn to put your faith in a God that is faithful and will keep his promises.

If we win, we praise him . If we lose, we praise him. ( Facing the giants ) . Can we do that ?Let us begin to trust HIM and see what great things he has done for us !

Shopping Day !

April 19th :  SHOPPING DAY

Supposed that's how I look when I'm shopping :)



The LORD has done it this very day; let us rejoice today and be glad. (Psalms 118 : 24)

Today is a bright and sunny day ! Sunny day is usually the best time to do some shopping ! I don't shop a lot, but I will usually shop either with friends or my family. What I like most about shopping is the contentment after buying the things I want. I don't shop often , and I don't go to branded shops frequently. I'm not fussy about fashion . To me , as long as the blouse / shirt / shorts / pants look good on me , that's what I'm looking for.

Just a few hours ago ,  I had shopping with my family . The reason for my shopping is  to buy some T-shirts and shorts for my coming trip to Redang Island. To much of my surprise , there are a number of new arrivals being displayed . I shopped , I chose , I tried and I put it into my shopping cart , I paid  and I left !

I was quite contented with what I bought . I bought a few blouse , a shirt and a three-quarter length shorts. Haha ! How about you - when is the last time you shopped ?

God gave us life to enjoy , in fact there are many outdoor activities for you to have fun ! Today, tomorrow and each day is created by God , why not take some time, have a look outside and enjoy your life to the fullest !

Have a joyful afternoon !

I Love You

I LOVE YOU



I Love You , Only I wish to know you more !

A few hours after posting " Mi Corazon " , quite a number of my friends updated their facebook statuses ( from Single to In a relationship ) . In fact , I was quite happy to see them finding someone they truly loved.
Have you found one yet ? Sometimes, you have to take your time to find one, and if you find one - what would you expect from him/ her. I read an article a few months ago and it says , do not set target for your bf/ gf as someone you will marry with ? Sounds complicating eh ?

To me, its CONTRADICTING - Love isn't shopping - trying to find someone you like the most then dump it away when you find it useless. If that's love, then being in a relationship does not serve any purpose - don't you think so ?

On the other hand , some people think too far away - although it would be best to have your future planned , but you are actually missing out the enjoyment you have in a relationship ! Love isn't instant noodles , just pour into hot water and enjoy. If that's being in a relationship , I would rather think its torture .

Love can't grow instantly , neither it would stop. Love are like young babies , they grow slowly. If you are still single - you can actually pray to God for someone that God has prepared for you AND pray to God for preparing you in a relationship ( cause relationship may be hurtful sometimes )

Next, the goal in a relationship is to decide whether he/she is your future spouse . You both grow and you both need time to understand each other - if it doesn't work afterall , dont push yourself ! There is always a better one.

Lastly , If you think you are ready to be in a relationship , just answer one more simple question .

Are you willing to sacrifice yourself for ______________ that person's name, and to be in a relationship with him / her  for God's honor

Remember , God created relationship to honor him , not to dishonor him. Don't do anything foolish and irreversible . Remember - you will reap what you sow. Sow good , reap good . Sow bad , reap bad !

If your answer to my previous question is YES ..... tell the other person ( of course it would be better to pray first before you take any action :)

Just one short note about myself . I know it might sound too conservative ... but I preferably have boys confess to girls , rather than girls propose to boys. If it happens that you are a girl reading this post , and you know the person you admire had the same feeling as you , pray for him to take action then !

Another short note : " Girls like small gifts ! Actions speak louder than words !"

Wishing you all the best in your relationship , find someone that God has really prepared for you

and to _________________. ( You know who you are!)

I Love You

A short talk about food

A Short Talk About Food

Haha ~ Pizza Guy ! I know it looks cool XD


Today, I would like to introduce about PIZZA ! How many of you like Pizza ? I like pizza  , especially " Hawaian Chicken " and  " Island Supreme " flavor at Pizza Hut . But tonight, I decided to change my favorite pizza selection into this one ,

TRIPLE SENSATION



Looks awesome eh  XP

 Yes ! Its a new pizza came out recently and I just get to know it tonight . It consist of  ham , cheese , sausages and CHICKEN FLOSS .

Triple Sensation tastes awesome , splendid , perfect , delicious. I would really suggest my dear friends to have a try !

Have a pizza-awesome night !

Mi Corazon

MI CORAZON

Mi Corazon

Mi Corazon is a spanish term for " My Heart " or " My Love ". Yes ! Loving someone is not really easy. For the past few weeks , I was continuously being fed  with couples getting a breakup or a divorce. I was convinced that Loving another person is not easy .

In 1 Cor 13 , Paul gave a best description for love. Love does not envy, does not boast and  goes on... It sounds so easy, yet its hard to put into practice. How can you dont get jealous of someone or something when that person or that thing has much of your boyfiriend/ girlfriend's attention ?

Overall , we thought that when we love someone , that person must repay us back. We wishes to control over other - that's why relationship wouldn't last.

Love means sacrifice - like what Jesus did. Jesus didnt asked anything back ( in fact he could ) , but he gave his life to exchange ours back. When we are saved , Jesus even called us into a closer relationship. If Jesus's love for us are like ours, there would be no sacrifice ; even if there is , he wouldnt even call us into a closer relationship !

Love is a sacrifice of our self. When God created Eve , HE used Adam's rib bone. HE didn't used mud or created her by words. That means sacrifice , you sacrifice yourself for others. In the Bible, Paul encourages believers to love your wife like how Christ love his church - and we all know Christ sacrificed himself for his church.

In whatever stages of love ( Knowing , friendship , relationship , marriage , family ) , it all requires sacrifice.

Lastly, how can we obtain true love from others or truly love another ? There is only one way , no one loves more than Jesus - sacrifice your heart to Jesus first , only by then you will sacrifice for others. Love God first, and you will love others.

Love is not an easy lesson, yet its the most beautiful masterpiece among all creations . Only Love makes all things beautiful. I love God , I love what God has placed in my life  - my family , my friends and my future partner.

Let us truly love each other by listening to the song below ( Mi Corazon - by Don Moen )

It is well with my soul

 12th April 2012 : It is well with my soul

" It is well with my soul " is one of my favorite song . The reason  I love this song is not because of its melody, neither because of the singer who sings it , but I was simply attracted by the lyrics.

I get to know this song through a Christmas special program the past two years (2010) ago on a TV Broadcast. The song was wrote by a pastor who had lost all of his children when his wife and his kids were on a ship sailing to somewhere. I was amazed - How can someone praise God when he had lost someone whom he loved so much ?

This reminds me of Abraham and Isaac. God asked Abraham to offer his one and only precious son - Isaac as a burn sacrifice. Being a  burnt sacrifice, it means there is nothing left but ashes, like what was left after cremation.

It had been a long time since I last heard this song. I couldn't understand and explain why God allows troubles to come upon us.  But there's something I do know and that is, If you believe that God is in charge and you believe everything is in God's hand , I believe you will say the same phrase "It is well with my soul".

Abraham didnt understand why Isaac has to die. He even hoped that Isaac will be raised from the dead. Aren't we the same? We always hoped that things wouldn't be that worse, and things will be getting better. However, things don't work that way because God has a better plan. Instead of raising Isaac from the dead, he had prepared himself a lamb as an sacrifice to replace Isaac. Instead of hoping things would be better, God prepared another to overturn the outcome.

We all may not understand the will of God, but are you willing to surrender yourselves to his will and believe that everything is in his hands ? I may not understand God's will on me too , but I'm willing to offer myself like how Abraham did and obeying his will , by then you would had hear me say" It is well with my soul ". 

A New Change

Hello ! Its Sunday afternoon, did u go to church this morning. After service, reached home, I took some photos of myself - why? Cause I got a new haircut yesterday ! Haha ! ( Please forgive my vanity ! )

Before the cut, my hair is approximately at shoulder length and it began to curl outwards like an octopus. Being deprived by my "octopus" hair, I decided to have a change.

I got my haircut at a nearby hairdressing shop at my house area and I got a BOB - not Bob the builder hairstyle.

It definitely looks better now, and I decided to keep it up . And my hair reminds me when I was in Primary 5. Looks like I didn't change after all these years ?!

After all, Its Christmas soon - get something new !

A jolly season

Hi all , its Friday midnight. Another 2 weeks , its Christmas ! Have you make plans for Christmas yet ? Have you got ready your turkey, your christmas gifts, aha, most of all your christmas tree !! ( * I haven't bought a new tree since the past 2 years, looks like I need to save and buy a new tree ! )

Its Christmas, and I decided to change a new Christmas look for my blog. It may look a little bit girly or a bit too pinky, but, since its Christmas, why not ?

My Christmas celebration is very simple, but my wish list is not gonna be too simple. What are your wishlist my dear friends? I wish for a camera - since the old one has spoiled , so the old has gone and the new should come !! . And.... havent come up with more items, but my Christmas mood will surely increase as the time for Christmas is getting nearer ! HOHOHO !

Most important of all, Jesus is the reason for the season. Although, Christmas may not be the actual date of his Bday.- in fact, its hard to deduce. However, since each and every day is created by God, and God sees it good , let us dedicate this day to his glory and celebrate. Of course, Christmas is for Jesus, while waiting for Christmas to knock the door, we should also prepare our hearts to receive Jesus, are there any vacant rooms in your heart, or a manger ? I hope we do prepare well furnished 5 star rooms for Jesus !

And Finally, A MERRY CHRISTMAS !

we wish you a merry christmas
we wish you a merry christmas
we wish you a merry christmas
and a happy new year

Hello ! I'm Back Again !

 Hello ! I'm back again

Hello ! Time flies , its almost the end of the year ! Time to stop for some reflection . How have your first 8 months of 2011 been ? My first 8 months of 2011 could only be described with one word - " Miraculous " . I experienced miracles and that includes answers of my prayers. Here are some which I wishes to share with you .

First : Sunday School commences on March 26th 2011.

Sunday School

Our ministry began just a few years ago . Unlike other churches, we do not have a long history. Most of our members are youths  and adults , we do not have kids joining us.

Once, I got a thought from the Holy Spirit to start preparing for Sunday School . We had all the materials , toys ready . During Sunday Service on March 19th, while I was preaching , I asked God - where should we go to find children to attend our service ? We had everything ready , but where are the children ? Not a while, after service , there are 5 children ( 5 means grace ) sitting on the staircase. Hallelujah ! God will provide - only if we believe in him and prepare for his provision. Now, our Sunday School is continually expanding . May all glory be given to God !

Second : Warrior Bride Camp on 15th August 2011

Warrior Bride Camp 2011

We had another camp this year, a follow up from our previous camp - " Preparing The Bride Of Christ ". This year, we held our camp in Singapore and it was another success. Our air tickets to Singapore were " 0 Fare " ( not inclusive of taxes ) and the hotel my mum and I were staying in is called " Royal Hotel ". God's favor was upon us, but that's more.

During the last day of the camp , my handbook were full of gold dust - in every page of my handbook . Gold dust represents God's presence. Isn't that miraculous ?

The Israelite experienced miracles daily throughout the journey in the wilderness. Today, everyone can experience God's miracles only you believe in him. The key to miracles is - " Faith " . With faith, all things are possible.

Are you ready to experience more of his miracles before 2011 ends ? Amen !

My driving Diary

Hello friends ! Feel like blogging , writing to everyone of you and share my current thoughts; feelings and etc.

After getting my driving license, I did not drive regularly . I often drive at night because the road is not fully packed with cars. It is a great learning opportunity for fresh drivers like us. It takes time for us to re adapt with the gear mode ( from manual to auto) . Sometimes, it is really hard especially when it becomes a habit.

Of course, tonight night was young , the stars are sparkling like my flashing signal lights. I decided to drive of course under my mum's supervision. Haha ! I must drive drive drive .... I love to drive , I love to be FREE. Actually I drove because I felt like releasing all my negative vibes, throw it onto the road. Dont worry, im definitely not a reckless and dangerous driver.

So, I drove with an average speed, I followed all the signs and the lane I should be driving on. My cornering has greatly improved . I learned to step on the brake pedal before making a turn . In other words, my hand , eyes , feet were co-ordinating well , in fact very well.

Although, at the end I got very tired , so I didnt maintain my high standards. But its a great drive.

If you dare, sit beside me when I drive. I hope I can drive asap..and get a new car asap

PS: I hope my dad will be reading this post, so he could buy me a car XP

..............................................REFLECTIONS.......................................................................................

Everything happens for a course and for a reason, like the christian song that say :

We are the reason that he gave his life. Tonight I love to share : STEP OUT

Sometimes, God requires us to step out with a bit of faith. But we are afraid to do so , why , we do not know what's next, what will happen. Also, we might be losing what we have .

However, just like tonight, I kept feeling I got to STEP OUT. Same to you, we need to STEP OUT. Step out from your comfy bed, step out from your protection and all the desires.

STEP OUT WITH FAITH
MAY GOD BLESS YOU...

JOYCE

My Mood part 2

Maybe one needs to be concerned, to have a place to write out your thoughts. Like what I did with my previous post. Out of the sudden , i felt relieved from my negative emotions; of course anger.

Sometimes, we need to throw out our emotions, and after I threw up mine, i found back my happiness, joy, and my smile ( CHEERS ! :)

So, Im happy happy happy....today isnt a bad day after all but a good day .

Every sad story should end with a happy ending.

Every sad moments should end with a happy moment.

Every sad emotions should end with joy

Joyce equals to joy, full of joy

Im Happy Now..

I hope all of you are infected with my joy

God Bless

Joyce

My Mood.

Today the skies are gray, so does my mood. Im feeling very bad and low-spirit today up till now. Perhaps my perfectionism, demanding all things to be perfect has seriously causing me to feel angry , sad, despair and disappointment. Sometimes, as a human , there's still emotions and of course some were bad.

Today, i dont feel very happy about myself and my surrondings. Maybe all this will end when I go to sleep and have sweet dreams.

Today is a bad bad day ! Not the creator makes the day bad for me, but me myself make it worse :(

I pray my readers does not share the same mood with me, and please dont be affected after reading this post :)

Anyways, God Bless

Joyce

2月20日主日信息：丰盛的生命

主日信息：丰盛的生命
讲员：杨恩慈传道
经文：约翰福音10章10节
【盗贼来，无非要偷窃，杀害，毁坏；我来了，是要叫羊得生命并且得的更丰盛。】

引导：我们的生命是否丰盛？丰盛的定义是什么？

1. 何谓丰盛的生命？

3方面的丰盛

- 物质上的丰盛：我们可以在物质上面-例如财务；家庭等各方面得着丰盛的祝福并且多而有余。

-灵里的丰盛：我们的灵修生活是否充实，享受，自由自在。我们是否有许多属灵的经验（异象，预言等）和在服事上的肯定呢？我们是否享有用不完的恩膏，恩典和恩宠？

-祝福的源头：丰盛不止是足够供应自己，但也能供应别人的需要。神要透过我们，让我们成为一个祝福的管道来把神的祝福带给别人。

2. 盗贼有时，上帝所命定给我们的丰盛并没有全然彰显在我们的生命里，因为我们的生命有盗贼进来偷取神的丰盛。

【盗贼来，无非要偷窃，杀害，毁坏】
我的电脑在星期五下午中了电脑病毒。这电脑病毒冒充成防病毒软件；并且使用了众所皆知的电脑标记。这个病毒告诉我，如果你要继续浏览此网站就必须下载此电脑软件。没想到，这个病毒就轻易的进入了我的电脑。我们的生命是否也进入了电脑病毒呢？盗贼并非帮助你，他是害你。他来的目的有

偷窃： 偷窃神给我们的丰盛。恶者不能透过自己给你祝福，丰盛。他只能窃取别人的祝福。

杀害： 杀害我们对神的信心，我们的喜乐。很常时，我们会生气神因为神没有把我们所求的给我们。

毁坏：毁坏我们的生命，让神的旨意无法彰显在我们的生命里面；甚至成为不蒙祝福和不讨神喜悦的生命。

让我们检验一下自己的生命是否被恶者窃取了神所定意给你的 （例如：平安，喜乐，健康）。其实，我们很难发觉，但是当我们已经发觉了时，我们就必须开始修复我们的生命。

3. 修复
在这里，我和大家提到五方面的修复

- 重新调整，重新体验耶稣 （必须重新的来到神的面前，再度渴慕拥有他）

-有神的话语委我们把关（神的话是我们的宝剑，他会帮助我们分辨什么是出于神，什么是恶者的谎言，还有什么是出于我们自己血气的行为。）有神的话为我们把守，恶者不容易窃取我们生命里的祝福。

-承认自己的错误，求耶稣的宝血遮盖。（我们到神的面前必须要坦承我们的罪，得罪神；不讨神喜悦的行为举止,思想）。罪导致我们的生命里的破口-而这破口不但容易让恶者侵入；也让神的祝福从这破口中流出。然而，耶稣的宝血具有修复和遮盖的能力。当我们求耶稣的宝血为我们遮盖时，我们生命当中的破口就被耶稣的宝血给堵住。

-需要牧羊人的看守。今天，我们的生命必须要有一个保护，一个看守的人。我们不能主宰自己的生命，因为我们都会犯错。我们必须要有一个人为我们看守我们的生命，使我们的生命能够走在正确的路上。那我们就需要一个不会犯错的人对吗？我相信在人类的历史上，耶稣是我们最棒的看守者因为他不会犯错，和犯罪。我们的生命必须有主来牵引，因为耶稣的牵引是引领我们进入丰盛。

-更新。 我们的生活必须被更新（不做不讨神喜悦的事，继续活在罪和咒诅的生活中）。我们必须被更新，有一个新的生命。如此，我们的生命能够全然的被修复。最后，只有修复是不够的，因为神的丰盛仍然在我们的生命里是不全面的，我们必须要有填满。

4. 填满

当我们的生命已经透过耶稣修复好了之后，我们必须再度渴慕耶稣，渴慕圣灵再度充满我们，让我们的生命能够再度经历丰盛。

祝福各位拥有一个丰盛的人生！

15th February 2011

Hey Guys ! It has been a long time after since my last post was published. Sorry for keeping you all waiting ! How are you ? Im guess you should be fine.

As an amendment for keeping you all waiting , I decided to write something about yesterday. Yesterday was my cellgroup time. I named my cell group as David. I am a leader of a youth cell , and we were having our meetings at every tuesday night, 7pm at my house. ( Feel free to join us !! )

Yesterday night was terrific as we welcome few of our new friends that are joining us ; besides it was just after Valentines Day. We were sharing about valentine gifts and a lot more else.

We had games throughout the meeting , and of course praising God and ends our whole gathering with prayers.

Its great to see more and more young people , teens, pre-adults are getting more and more active in " Our Father's Business" , and being the light and salt of the world. In Romans chapter 8, all things are for the good of us - the good for believers . I definitely believe youth is making a part of our father's business.

May the Word of God continues to spread. If you are a christian, you can be involved in your own church and ministry 's events. If you are a non - christian, I would like to encourage you to learn more about Jesus Christ, he is the answer to solve your question.

Lastly, May God Bless You and Have a nice day !

14-02-2011晨祷信息: 赞美的真谛 (杨恩慈传道)
1. 何谓赞美?
a) 赞美四一种内心表达出对神的称赞,与神沟通的属灵语言.
b) 赞美神是一个带下属天祝福的管道(诗篇22:3)
c) 赞美是一种力量能够化负面情绪并且转换成为被激励的态度.

2. 何谓敬拜?
我们很常把赞美和敬拜联想在一起. 什么是敬拜? 让我们从诗篇50篇来学习. 我们先读第8-13节.

& 在旧约圣经中,以色列人是以动物献上为祭, 当然到了新约时,我们以赞美为祭. 但是在13 节里,神透过诗人来向我们指明一件事 : 赞美是不能取代对神的敬拜.

13节: 我岂吃公牛的肉呢? 我岂喝公羊的血呢?
我们无法以赞美来代替对神的敬拜.

& 敬拜与敬虔是连结与一起的.敬拜是活出圣洁的生命,反映出神的样式.敬拜是远离最恶,并且以敬虔度日. 耶稣也教导了我们在约翰福音4:23-24节

23-24节: 时候将到,如今就是了, 那真正拜父的,要用心灵和诚实拜他 , 因为父要这样的人拜他. 神是个灵, 所以拜他的人必须用心灵和诚实拜他.
在这节圣经经文中, 心灵指的是我们内在的灵, 诚实指着圣洁; 无诡诈

3. 活出赞美的生命
赞美可以透过我们平常对神的谢恩, 也可以透过唱诗歌, 弹琴, 赞美主来表达我们对神的称赞, 感恩.

4. 心态
赞美是出自与一颗感恩的心. 我们若认为神所赐给我们的福是应当的 ; 那我们就无法对神活出真正的赞美.

敬拜出自与一颗敬畏的心.当我们因着爱主, 敬畏他并且活出他所定的法则时, 我们已经活出了敬拜神的生命.

最后,祝福各位, 愿各位都活出一个赞美神的生命.

Hello ! Its a new year !

 Hello ! Its A NEW YEAR !

Babies are cute but one day, we all need to grow up  !

Hi friends ! A year has gone and its 2011 now ! Truly sorry for not continuously updating my blog ! 2010 had been truly fun for me . I had learned a lot of new things throughout the year. Life is continuously learning.

There had been some major events taking place last year - such as our ministry had rented a new place of worship which is near my house. I was annointed as a Pastor during my birthday , we had a camp called " Preparing the Bride of Christ " at Sematan Beach Resort - which was a total success and of course there are many more which I couldn't share with you all at one go . ( PS : But you can visit our ministry blog at http://glorygatesministry28112008.blogspot.com)

 What had I learned throughout 2010? In the Bible ,  1 Corinthians 13 :11  it says, 

When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. 

Yes, I learned to grow up . When I first graduated from school , there are many things for me to learn. What happens in the society is totally different from what you had learned from school. I learned to be mature , I learned to grow up ; physically and spiritually.

2010 had been a year that draws me closer to God, and in a lot of ways, I seen God's hand in my life - training me and fashioning me. Although, I was reluctant to God's training at first, but looking back now, I find its worth - and God is still fashioning me now ! ( Cheer on !)

Friends, God has a special purpose for you and me , and he will fashion you for that specific purpose- are you willing to be fashioned by him? 

And may this new year 2011 be another year of improvement in physical and in spiritual areas of your life .

May God bless you !

Hello ! This is Joyce !

Valentine's Day 2009 - Happy Valentine's Day Jesus !

Hi ! My name is Joyce . I am a 18 year old girl currently residing in Kuching, Sarawak - a small city in the east side of a tropical country called Malaysia. I am a Christian and I'm intending to be a pastor in the future . I hope I could be like Samuel in the bible - to serve the Lord with all of my life.

I'm optimistic and cheerful. I like to joke with people. I'm also a straightforward person. I don't like to beat around the bush . I like to make new friends . I'm interested in cooking, photography and in music. 

During my free time, I love to surf the net and playing piano.

Now, I am working in my mum's ministry Christian Devotees Glory Gates Ministry Association as a trainee pastor. I'm currently involved in the ministry's administration - working towards to be a full time pastor. I do preach on Sunday sometimes . 

Lastly, through this blog , I hope to share most of my personal experiences and how experiences can be connected with my faith.

Thanks for reading ,visiting , and following my blog , I pray that everyone of you would have a nice day !~
