Bible Study - Collosians

Today I learnt about the book of Collosians in a fellowship.

Collosians:

1. Prioritize human philosophy

2. Practicing Judaistic Ceremonialisme in Collose

3. Living on Angel Worship

4. Asceticism

Why did Paul wrote to Collosians:

1. Remind them not to relapse (fall back to sin)

2. Be God-centered, not self-centered

3. Direct their attention to Jesus Christ

4. Jesus in the midst of them

There's a lot more. To study bible is about the wisdom that you will get from it, not the perfect answer, unless GOD give you a clear vision or a rigid wisdom on it.

GOD bless us all!~

My Weaknesses are my Weapons

You know why I said 'My Weakness is my Weapon'?

Our weaknesses always make us down. A lot of stories that I've heard from everyone that I been talked to said that their weaknesses were the reason why they sometimes couldn't reach their goal(s). Me too, experienced the same way. But now, I want to get you agree with me that our weaknesses is actually the greatest tool or weapon to beat down the devil!

In my whole life until today, I didn't realized that my weaknesses are my weapons, where the devil had controlled my 'weapons' for a long time before. One of my weaknesses is fear of standing in front of a crowd, i.e public speaking, worship leader, individual performance, or even to read a portion of a text for a few seconds (unless I am really afraid of the teacher). At the same time, I had a dream, to be a worship leader in a church. So what I did? Pray hard. I always mentioned that thing in my prayer because I am confident with my vocal tone and range that I want to serve GOD with my voice, which is a gift. So, until one day I was asked by my youth leader at my church to handle a praise & worship team on Sunday service, for a huge congregation. That was really my first time and my heart and mind was out of confidence on the stage! First time was really hurt for me. As the time passed by, now I already have what I dream before. Weapon? I already overcome the particular fear and the devil no more have a big chance to accuse me on that area, unless I get further from Him.

This topic appeared in my mind last week on Saturday. Last week was a bad week for me! I really crawling to find out my joy in my heart, because my life was full with pressures! As I prayed, God remind me, whatever happens on me, it's just because He wants me to experience that before I go back to heaven. My life on earth is just as a workplace/playground/field/whatever you want to call it, because sooner when I go back to heaven, nothing from this world will I experience anymore in heaven. Good or bad, everything is for my goodness from Him. To beat the devil is by beating down my fear/weaknesses.

So, let us think about this. It might not easy for us to handle hardships in our life, but we have to change our paradigm. The bible says "Don't worry" 365 times in the scriptures, which is equal to 365 days a year. Thus, each day should be no worry!

Hahaha...stay blessed everyone!!! GOD bless you!!~:D

I Love Them All

I love my community in RYC (Relevant Youth Community). They're many of them for me to mention their names in this post. We are so close to each other and that close relationship makes me feel like I'm home, with my family, with the brothers and sisters, and pastors as my spiritual daddy and mummy..hahaa...how grateful am I to GOD!~

As I already been in the community, I learned a lot of things. The brothers and sisters really help me to grow up. If I have problems, I will share them with someone in the community that I very close to. Sometimes I'll share my past life with a group of people, which sometimes took hours for sharing. At the end, I really felt free. It was an awesome feeling after the sharing because, you know, I really felt that they are my own family, like at home! To them I trust, with them I shared, in them is love which I can really trust and lean to. I really believed that the love of GOD is really there in the community. My vision is to help this community to grow, quantitatively and qualitatively, for the Glory of GOD. It is not merely a community, but it is a family, where I can put my trust, believe, and commitment.

So far, I have my own very-close-ones in RYC: Aldrin and Jefferson. Both of them are two young men to my concern. We trust to each other our problems, commitments, and when one of us had committed sin, we rose him up by giving advices, motivational talks, and prayers. So far we hadn't committed any material for arousing back our spirit. Follow ups were not consistent. I don't know why, but I think it's because we were busy with our assignments, studies, or personal life which full of emotional and paradigm challenges. Even though I called it the very-close-ones, but I don't mean to leave others behind from my concern. Anyway, it cost our time, space, commitment, and consistency. I realized that I'm a normal human being which sometimes indirectly neglected their importance.

I like RYC again because there are a lot of events (actually they are organized by the church's ministries). One of the famous event is Futsal SIB KL Lake City. It was attended by many SIB churches. There were so many participants took part in the games and I felt really awesome during the event. The semi-final, quarter-final and final part were really tight. You know what I mean, when all teams were trying very hard to grab the top level, that really hot. Finally everyone was enjoyed the moment together, instead of being in the church's auditorium, we gathered in the....Seven Sport Futsal Courts!! Hahahaha...awesome...

Lastly, I want to thank everyone that support me directly and indirectly for my growth in faith, kingdom's paradigm, attitude, and skills. I am really grateful for GOD had put me in KL and put me in a family like this which I can say, awesome! It is awesome because I have an awesome GOD, Jesus Himself, in this family.

Enjoy the blessed day with The Great Father=)!!~~

Germany's friend of mine

I met a guy in a train yesterday. He's a German. Wanna know the story?

Okay. While I'm standing in the train, I'm interested to my glance upon a free seat (means that nobody lah on the seat..). But there was a little chocolate-splash (and I thought it was Milo..or..Dutch Lady's chocolate milk..) on the seat. As a guy next to the seat observed me, then he said, "It's not me. I just know it", with a guilty expression. "Owh, it's okay" I said. I remain stood up holding the steel pole. Immediately I observed a kind action from him.....he tore up his newspaper and wipe out the splash and gesturing me to sit down. I sat next to him gratefully.

After a short conversation with him, I found that he is friendly. He came from Germany, but currently staying Thailand. He came to Malaysia for business management. He is major in Computer Programming. He was interested when I said my major university is in Biotechnology of Plant because he also likes biotechnology. He was there in South Africa during the World Cup 2010 and commented that African are not ready for such huge event. All teams are playing bad and not performing very well, he said. Talking about Germany's football team, he commented they did well, but still need more training and upgrading their skills.

What a day in a train. We talked along the way like nobody around us...lol!~

I think I need to meet a lot more new friends out there to create a nationwide network.

Gonna see what's next..=)
