GUIDANCE...

one of the dancers shared this with me and it moved me...  so i thought i'd shared...  

Dancing with God

Author Unknown

When I meditated on the word Guidance,

I kept seeing "dance" at the end of the word.  

 I remember reading that doing God's will is a lot like dancing.  

 When two people try to lead, nothing feels right.   

 The movement doesn't flow with the music,   

 And everything is quite uncomfortable and jerky.   

 When one person realizes that, and lets the other lead,  

 Both bodies begin to flow with the music.   

 One gives gentle cues, perhaps with a nudge to the back  

 Or by pressing Lightly in one direction or another.   

 It's as if two become one body, moving beautifully.  

 The dance takes surrender, willingness,   

 And attentiveness from one person   

 And gentle guidance and skill from the other.   

 My eyes drew back to the word Guidance.   

 When I saw "G": I thought of God, followed by "u" and "I".   

 "God, "u" and "I" dance."  

 God, you, and I dance.   

 As I lowered my head, I became willing to trust   

 That I would get guidance about my life.   

 Once again, I became willing to let God lead.   

 My prayer for you today is that God's blessings   

 And mercies are upon you on this day and everyday.   

 May you abide in God, as God abides in you.   

 Dance together with God, trusting God to lead   

 And to guide you through each season of your life.   

 This prayer is powerful and there is nothing attached.  

 If God has done anything for you in your life,   

 Please share this message with someone else.   

There is no cost but a lot of rewards;  

 So let's continue to pray for one another.   

 And I Hope You Dance !

-heart of worship-

When Pastor spoke about work being a worship, I tried to make sure that whatever I do at work will be pleasing to His sight. I just want to worship God. And what joy it is to go to work, even on days when I dread a little to go to work. Making work worship unto God, certainly makes it easier to get through the workload and circumstances. That was a few sermons ago.

But Pastor's words about worship resonated even longer after service today. His words made me remember reading in the book the worshipping artist where the author, Rory Noland, "encourage every member to become a personal worshiper." And He asked "can you imagine a church comprised largely of people who worshiped privately during the week and then came together on Sunday to worship?" He said that "their hearts would be so primed for worship, it wouldn't matter [what genre of music played]" When I first read those words, I told myself I needed to become a private worshipper. Not just because I am serving in the celebration ministry. But because it basically delights God. =D God takes delight when His children worship Him. And the more I worship privately, the easier it is to just enter into worshipping God anywhere, anytime. Because the heart is primed for worship.

The parable of the talents always reminded me to put my talents to good use. God gifted me with artistic talents. I sing, play, act and dance for God. I remember when I first entered FCBC, I saw the youth congregation dancing for God. It was then that I thought to myself, I think I have been brought to the right church. After nearly 7 years, I am still here. And am even serving God through my dance in the celebration ministry. Thank God for His grace and mercy, that I am able to worship Him in such a wonderful place, with the freedom to dance to Him. I am free to worship God. I can worship God. I want to worship God. It does me good to worship the Lord. 

I used to worship God together with the congregation. Now I get to serve the Lord through leading others to worship God through the dance ministry. I will never forget the first time I served on platform. The first Sunday of September 2008. Basking in the delight of the Lord is something that does wonders for the spirit man. It is just not the same worshipping God as a member of the congregation, and as a worship leader. Have you ever felt God smiling at you as you worship Him? I have. And it is such a wonderful experience. I was never really able to describe how it felt. But today what Pastor said about wearing the crown of glory. It is just what that experience was. It was as if God just placed the crown of glory on me. It was not because of the fantastic steps of the choreography to the songs that I remembered. But it was simply because I was worshipping the Lord with my all. Literally. I was exhausted after that. But the experience that first time was electrifying, it took my breath away. The next time I dance before the congregation and for the Lord is the last Sunday of February 2009. This time not for the youth service (cause we've combined right) but for Chinese service. God certainly has a great sense of humour, and He is definitely stretching me. Cause my chinese is not the best. Haha... No matter what, it is still a delight that God takes delight in me worshipping Him.

So what is the heart of worship? Well, I believe that it is simply a sincere heart that wants to delight God. Worship is not so that we feel good, but it is that God takes delight and is enthroned. 

So my dear sisters, let's worship the Lord freely, with abandonment and let the delight of God fall upon us. =D

P.S. Dalston wrote an entry on http://buildersofgenerations.blogspot.com, addressed to all of us too. Do go read. =)

Wei Hao's sermon

Today its our first youth cell where we combine with the guys' teens.. Our focus for today's youth cell is about setting ground rules as we want the youth to know the importance of cell and to not treat cell like a market place....IS also to check their attitude towards God. I asked one of the guys to share about the importance of cell. His name is Wei Hao...i am so proud of him. He put in a lot of effort in his preperation. I believe God is proud of him too. At such a young age, he understand the importance of cell and came up with 3 point short sermon of the importance of cell. It really spoke to me and i hope it will speak to u too....
Wei Hao's sermon
Three truths of cell group that I hold on dearly to / Why is cell important to me ?

Each of us is running our own race; we all have the same end point but we each have a different path. We can¡¯t run this race alone, we run as a cell. Philippians 3:14 (I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.) Why do we need the cell to run the race? The cell gives us 3 As.

1st A
Anointing ¨C Matthew 18:20 (For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them) God¡¯s presence will be among us.

2nd A
Assurance ¨C Hebrews 10:24-25 (And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another¡ªand all the more as you see the Day approaching.) Receive assurance because cell group was birthed from the bible.

3rd A
Accountability ¨C Hebrews 13:17 (Obey your leaders and submit to their authority. They keep watch over you as men who must give an account. Obey them so that their work will be a joy, not a burden, for that would be of no advantage to you.) God placed leaders amongst us to guide us and be our pillars of strength when we are weak.

Keep checking the condition of our heart. What is our purpose in attending cell group? - Always come with an open heart and open mind ready to receive and ready to give. We gather to know God and make God known.

I believe if you commit yourselves to being faithful to cell group, God will bless you mightily. The very fact that you¡¯re here delights God. We¡¯re all rough pieces of diamonds. Through the cell, God will shave off uneven pieces of the diamond, until we become beautiful, shiny diamonds in Him.


I can forsee him as a pastor.....

third entry

I have always felt that because of the technologies that are advancing; the ecconomy's downturn.
People's pace is increasingly going up; walking tremendously quick.
But tts all a matter of time.

In Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
1 There's a time for Everything, and a season for every activity under heaven:

2 a time to be born and a time to die
a time to plant and a time to uproot

3 a time to kill and a time to heal
a time to tear down and a time build,

4 a time to weep and a time to laugh
a time to mourn and a time to dance

5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,

6 a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,

7 a time to tear and a time to mend
a time to be silent and a time to speak

8 a time to love and a time to hate
a time for war and a time for peace.

It all seem to make sense ya? Just wish that people will slow down their steps.
Afterall, what you see are created by Him. Take a lil time to enjoy what He has made for you to enjoy.
Never rushed into things. (:

My Family MyHope

So i've been praying about this for a long time, some of you already know that God has been telling me to do this for awhile..

I cooked dinner for them, but my dad act went to work, and only came back at 9 plus. Told him i've something to show them, but he seemed skeptical and like wanted to eat and bathe first. Then while i was talking to Mel on the phone and she was praying for me, my sis walked out. She said i didn't tell her that she had to be there, and she was meeting somebody. I don't know why, but i felt terribly disappointed. Started to tear, i just felt like my plans were ruined. After that i went to my room and started praying, and worshipping God. Found back my peace in Him, knew in my heart that He was in control. Truly, everytime we do something for God's Kingdom, there will be spiritual warfare, and we must be prepared for it, and fight on. The devil will try all means to make us give up. We must not let him win.

So my parents watched the Kelvin Soh video, i think my mom enjoyed it, but my dad was a bit uncomfortable. He's actually quite against Christianity one, cos of idol worshipping. So i kept praying against spirits of idols and pride, and anything that may stop him from being touched by Him...

After the video i shared my testimony, then reviewed the 100k blessings that they chose that last time, to affirm them that God has indeed answered every prayer. After that, i knelt down and apologized to them for all i've done tt's hurt them all these years, and for not being filial in the past. Following which, i attempted to wash their feet..My dad was super shocked, he jumped and refused to let me wash his feet at first...kept asking me to get up. But i insisted so eventually just dip a bit haha.

At the end of everything, i gave them Chinese Bibles. =) My mom is open, but i think she's not totally committed yet, mostly cos of my dad...i think he still doesnt know that she received Christ. But will be continuing to pray for them. I believe a seed is sown in my dad's heart too, against all odds.

Continue to pray hard for your families that are unsaved. It is the Lord's promise that if one in the family is saved, all will be saved. He will definitely keep His promise, if we are faithful in obeying all that He asks us to do. =)
