ChRisTmaZzz....

Christmas is a time to love.....
Yup, it is indeed one of my favourite carols.....
Not only that, but one of the greatest Christmas value system for me.....

Well, My favourite season is over again.....
Have to wait another year.....
Sigh.....

This year, i had one of the toughest times with the gifts.....
I was so frustrated about the gifts i bought for some of my friends.....
I just wanted to give them something they really like,
something they really love.....
Yes, i've heard it before....
"It is the heart that counts"
But, if you just simply give a gift to anyone just for the sake of it,
It already shows your heart....

Anyway, when i was being frustrated and worrying about the gifts,
God rebuked me.....
I remembered the song Christmas is a time
"We often start to worry, when people get upset,
when things dont go so right one christmas day"
That was exactly how i felt......
But then God asked me.....
What is Christmas???
Why celebrate it????
Then, i was ashamed,
facing the ground i said:
"Sorry Lord, yup, why worry, why frus???
Isnt this day YOUR DAY???
ISnt it your birthday, a reminder to the word of HOPE in you???
Thank You Lord, that though it is your birthday,
YOu gave me and the world a GIFT,
YOU GAVE US JESUS!!!!!

I was reading this book called,
THE GLORY OF CHRSITMAS.....
It really spoke to me.....

"Because of Jesus,
Because of Calvary,
For this Christmas I am FREE to Choose....
And So I CHOOSE,

I Choose Love..
No Occasion justifies hatred, no injustice warrants bitterness. I Choose to love. Today I will love God and what God loves.

I Choose Joy
I will invite my God to be the God of circumstance. I will refuse the temptation to be cynical, the tool of the lazy thinker. I will refuse to see people as anything less than human beings, created by God. I will refuse to see any problem as anything less than an opportunity to see God.

I Choose Peace
I will live forgiven. I will forgive so that i may live.

I Choose Patience
I will overlook the inconvenience of the world. Instead of cursing the one who takes my place, I'll invite him to do so. Rather than complain that the wait is too long. I will thank God for a moment to pray. Instead of clinching my fist at new assignments. I will face them with joy and courage.

I Choose Kindness
I will be kind to the poor, for they are alone. Kind to the rich, for they are afraid. And kind to the unkind, for such is how God has treated me.

I Choose Goodness
I will go without a dollar before i take a dishonest one. I will be overlooked before I will boast. I will confess before I will accuse.

I Choose Faithfulness
Today i will keep my promises. My debtors will not regret their trust. My associates will not question my word. My wife will not question my love. And my childrn will never fear that their father will not come home.

I Choose Gentleness
NOthing is won by force. I choose to be gentle. If i raise my voice may it only be in praise. If i clence my fist, may it be only in prayer. If i make a demand may it only be of myself.

I Choose Self-control
I am a spiritual being. After this body is dead, my spirit willsoar. I refuse to let what will rot, rule the eternal. I choose self-control. I will be drunk only by joy. I will be impassioned only by faith. I will be influenced only by God. I will be taught only by Christ.

Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulhess, Gentleness and Self-control. To these I commit my day. If i succeed, I will give thanks. If I fail, I will seek His grace. And then, when this day is done, I will place my head on my pillow and rest.

This Christmas is a reminder for me of why and what i live for.....

I pray that the gift of Love will be the greatest gift i give to all,

just as it is the greatest gift God gave us.....

God Bless you all....

JOhn jOhN.... AgAp3's 1 N onLy JOHN....

EspLodeD....

E.S.P, ESP is on fire,

We dont want the devil cause the devil is a LIAR....

Woohoo...... AM BACK..... Just got back only, am feeling a bit tired, but dont wanna sleep.... Hehe.... So might as well write about camp sine it's just fresh in my head.....

Well, like always, it starts with a SIGh..... Man, camp is over..... Cant believe it.... Wished it could be longer...... But we have to come back to the real world now..... SNAP back to REALITy..... My bro always calls this the mountain top experience..... It's always hard to get back to 'life', but i think this time will be fine, since this isn't my first camp..... My view about camps like ESP, gives me a picture of heaven...... This is what i always imagine when we go to heaven..... We would all be living together, meeting together, playing together, having fun with one another, but most of all, worship God together..... It always gives me a glimpse of heaven and that's why i always always enjoy such camps..... Especially with the Ablazing YOUTHS.....

Anyway, this experience was great..... This time round, we had so much fun during sessions..... That's what i like about Pastor Victor..... He makes the topic all fun by speaking our language, helping us to get comfortable before giving us very practical but blibical teachings...... First night we had a Guy's competition..... All the guys rock and so did John.... Great job man..... Second day we had a WEDDING..... Haha.... It was really cool and funny..... Both Chris and Christina did great and were very sporting..... Once again, SORRY TO ISAAC LOY..... Haha.... I still owe you an ice-cream.....

To sum it all up i enjoyed Pastor victor's sessions very much..... I've learnt a lot......

Other than this, praying for others was also an amzing experience..... I thank god for the opportunity to be able to bless, encourage, anoint, speak into, affirm and build up others through prayer...... I also thank God for everyone who also came and bless me with prayer.....

But i think by far one of the most unique and loved experience in camp is Pastor Victor's blessing and Word of prophecies over the leaders lives ...... Followed by the prayer tunnel..... While i joined hands with Wei Ling to prayer for all that went through the tunnel, tears filled my eyes..... It was for 2 reasons, one is because i felt that this generation of young believers have talents, have gifts and they are simply amazing, BUT, many do not know that they are capable of much much more if and only if they learn to surrender their gifts, talents, passions, dreams, visions and Lives to GOd...... This i speak for myself also and i urge and encourage all to look beyond just their talent, knowing that it isnt in our talents that we rely on, but it's faith in JESUS, becuase in HIM, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE...... The second thing that triggered my tears was because I also saw a generation of BELIEVERS that have a HEART for GOD..... And that made me cry and weep and interceded for them...... Because i foresee a rising generation of CHIRSTIAN LEADERS that are conquerors..... A MIGHTY GENERATION OF SPIRITUAL LEADERS that God is already raising up......

It was a very refreshing camp..... I long to come back and impact my world....... I thank God for all the people I've got the priviledge to meet, especially those from other churches...... Also for the blazing youths that i has a chance to hang out with and talk to...... Last but not least, the friends that we brought to the camp...... ESPECIALLY LILY....Staying the same room with Him was fun with Wei Jie around too..... Hehe..... May God Bless you all......

"I'll Stand with arms high and heart abandoned, in all, for the ONE who gave it all,

I'll Stand, my soul long to you surrendered, all I am is YOURS"

sAy ChEezee....

DID YOU GUYS SEE IT?????

I think it was so cool.....

One of the very first times i saw an actual genuine natural smile....

Since the sky was smiling, it was all ready for a photo.....

Hehe.....

Thank You Lord for the smile....
