Sun, 25th March—God is Glorious

I think I am getting more and more impressed with God.. It’s simply incredible at how I can be so unfaithful and disloyal to God and yet he remains unchanged, ever so faithful, ever so good to move in my life to change me for the beta..

Past few days had been qt a rough patch for the friendship btw Kenneth and I.. I was reali extremely upset with him.. even yest wen I called him b4 svc and we finally get to talk after so many days, it was like a “war” call.. at least I think I am the one blasting and bombing at him..gosh.. I was not at all self controlled or “not affected” as I said I was.. I simply blew at him and I know that his heart twds me was one of much frustrations as well…think we were having such great communication breakdown..despite the rough patch, I still gotta brace myself to go for grandmama’s bdae celeb lata.

Coming back to today, during service wen Pst Tan was sharing the offering msg.. gosh, he spoke something which kinda struck me..”do you know whenever we make a prayer, we are actually making demands out of 2 persons?”

I was like thinking God and ?...den Pst Tan said, weneva we prayed eg, pray for promotion, we are act making demands from God and ourselves ( the 2 persons).. reason being when we pray, we asked God to help and meanwhile we are also demanding from ourselves to work hard to get that promotion that God wants to bless us with..
we can pray, God will move but we must move too.. we must position ourselves to that prayer that we ask God to bless us in..no wonder it’s a partnership with God.. we pray that God will work, we must work hard too..

Today Pst Casey Treat is preaching on visions and dreams..man.. he said someth in the beginning that reali caught my attention..he said that Israel grieved and limited Him(God) bcoz they forgot the power of His.. I was thinking, yes, it’s so true.. many a times I limited God bcoz I have forgotten how powerful He was when he rescued me out of so many mess and situations..

think for the past week when so many things have happened, I did not seek God.. I was so self absorbed in the situations that I reali did not pray much or read the bible as I should have done.. despite my ill response to seek God, I can reali see the goodness of God in my life..He is faithful even when I am not..
Starting from wed, God sent Kat to drop a simple msg to me,
thurs, terence came to help in collecting the cake and the dina turned out well too,
fri, my briefing at HQ, I have Eng Kai,my colleague, to help me install and do all the technical stuff of IT which I was relatively afraid to do..
sat, I had a great family dina..
and come today sun, I attended a svc which I wan to write down what I felt..

Today Pst Casey spoke on visions and dreams.. I felt that God is speaking so many times on visions and dreams since last fri’s and this fri seminar,and even today svc.. it took me so long to realize that it is time that I should have a vision for myself..it has been a long time since I desire for anyth or rather, had a vision for something that I can run all out for..

Pst said, Faith is the substance of things hoped for..
-By faith I frame my world with my words
-Bible is known as the word of faith
-I will have what I believe and say.

-Hope is HOW I SEE my future
-Hope is WHAT I DESIRE for my future
-Hope is what I believe and desire for my future

-When I feel hopeless. I feel helpless

Isn’t it true when bible says that without vision, people perish..without HOPE (vision for the future), people perish..

-Hope is for TML, Faith is for NOW.

So what is HOPE?

Hope is my DESIRE for TML..add faith to prayer, my hope will come true.

Another thing Pst Casey said caught my attention.. in Acts 2: 16-18,
The 1st evidence of Holy Spirit in my life is Visions and Dreams and then we will begin to prophesy (to prophesy doesn’t only mean foretelling the future, it meant also to Speak to My Future)

I need to prophesy into my future and right then in my mind I was thinking abt my studies,my future( work), even my future partner, my finances, my health and body, and my family.

-I gotta SEE things for my Future

Acts 26:19 Paul lived his life with a vision, a purpose from God, a hope, a future..

-My vision will determine the kind of life I live
-My vision determines my life

- I will be obedient to the heavenly vision..
-How to do all the impossible that church has done and have it in my own life?
-Have that God’s vision in my heart

Live my life out of my spirit..not out of my flesh, not out of my mind(intellect) but out of my spirit man.

-Visions and dreams come out of my spirit joined with the Holy Spirit

-Therefore, walk, seek and mature in God.

-I gotta be sensitive to the Holy Spirit in my spirit.
-I lived my life out of my spirit, a vision, a purpose and use my body to live out the vision.

1 Cor 2:9-12
-I have the Holy Spirit so I can know what I have I God
-I have the Holy Spirit so I can know my future, purpose and destiny in God.
-I need to give myself to Listen, to seek the Holy Spirit.

My Vision is my Future

Mt 6:22 My eye is the light of my physical body
ð my Vision Directs my Life
ð wherever I look, I will head twds there.

-If I focus on it, I head twds it
Eg..if you are driving and you are looking right when you are driving straight, it will come a point that your body and hands will inclined twds right if you look in that direction long enuf..
-Therefore What am I looking at?

Wen Pst pop this qn I was made aware at my response twds Kenneth.. much as I don want to be affected or said I was not affected, but the moment I thot of my anger and the more I thot( the image) of what he has done, much as I don wan to be uncontrolled and blast at him..i did.. why? Coz like Pst said, I will do what I’m focus at.. my body will turn to the direction of my vision.. if I only have negative and image twds him, naturally my body will respond likewise..

-I’m just like my Vision said..

Pst gave eg like, some pp think that they behave weird in front of pp and pp don like them.. having that thinking in mind, those pp naturally will act weirdly in front of pp and when pp saw that they are acting oddly, they don get so close to them and those pp will think “ See! It happen! People don like me!”

-We are just like our vision (eye) said.

Qn: Where is my focus?

-What I see is what I get.
-Whatever gets into my eyes, gets into my life..

That’s why the devil planted so much pornography in the internet coz
bad image = bad future

small vision = small future
HUGE Vision = HUGE Future

Ever wonder what made Abraham special in God’s eyes?

It is bcoz Abraham believed in the vision that God has given him and God accounted it as righteousness..

If it is God’s will, it is God’s bill
If it is God’s vision, God will give the provision..

Isn’t it so cool that God is so good, wanting us to have good vision in life so that our future will be good as well..

But what’s the requirement?

That we will walk with Him and seek and listen to Him..

To conclude in a sense,
I reali feel that God is good.. wat I wrote above is what I wrote down as my sermon notes.. I feel that God is good coz what hap during the past week are reali things that I can learn.

-Will my heart stay loyal to God when bad things hap?
-Will I walk with God, seek and listen to Him?
-Will I choose to focus on the good things and not on the bad?
-Can I be an encouraging friend instead of being a self-centred friend?
-What is my vision now? What am I reali looking at?

God has in store so much great things for me, am I able to stay focus and fulfil my destiny in Him.. It will certainly take Focus and Discipline.

O last note, Pst mentioned, do not miss any church mtgs coz these are opportunities for God to show us glimpses of His vision..

For more information on God’s vision—walk with Him..haha..

Hallelujah! God is great and mighty Good Father God..Amen!

Final note..Listen to the Holy Spirit coz He’s the one who gives us the visions—our hope and future
