Today is someone's birthday,someone very special and close to my heart...non other than my bestest...est..test....friend cheryl!


(don't kill me for putting up these pics..:P)

You're turning 20 already...!All grown up now..I'll never forget how our friendship started...back in those school days...

I was lost in this world,discouraged,broken,insecure and always looking for acceptance...

Till I met you,you seemed pretty,smart and all that.You talked to me,started being interested in my life..and most of all cared about me..


I thought to myself why would you wanna befriend me,I weren't who you think I was,I had such low self esteem.BUT you continued to never give up on me,praying for me and always telling me to 'forgive others' when I felt bitter.You led me to Christ and constantly told me about His unfailing love for me.










We were been best friends ever since!We were young,crazy and passionate for God....


So much memories and fun times together..I'll never forget!


I remember how you always fall asleep in class they call you the sleeping girl..and Puan Seah thought you have some kinda 'night' job..


I'll never forget the fun times we had with our homies...where we'll just keep laughing non stop because we were crazy





..remember how on IU day ,you worked so hard for it to be a success,when it was over..I told you "you did it cher!".You never gave up even though Mrs Mah told us that we couldn't have an IU.But in the end,you fought your way through,nothing was impossible..



You've achieved so much in school with your talents in school...I remember how you got 2nd place for the 1500m race.Your lips were blue!It scared me...



Our BEST FRIEND rings from diva...haha it was weird.It left a green stain around our finger..i think it was some kinda moss...


For all these years of friendship we stuck through thick and thin,cause even when we fought...we became closer..

I can't thank God enough for a friend like you who understands me more than anyone else,cares about my deepest fears and worries and made my burden your burden...


...you completely change my life and taught me how to be a person of character.Just wanna tell you that even though I'm here in Sydney,I wish I was there to celebrate with you.I know there will be many more birthdays we will celebrate together in years to come because I know our friendship is one that will always last..!

An Unclean Spirit Returns

__________________________________________

Matthew 12:43-45

43 “When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none. 44 Then he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when he comes, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order. 45 Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it also be with this wicked generation.”

__________________________________________

You guys remember when we had a long super after cellgroup and we shared about ghost stories? And between that Kee Wee mentioned that when on evil spirit leaves, it'll bring back 7 evil spirit?

Here's the verse that he was talking about. But it is not as scary as it sounds. Basically when someone is delivered from an evil spirit, the evil spirit will have to find another place to dwell in, most likely looking for humans. "Dry Places" it meant there was people who are spiritually dry or empty, meaning without Jesus Christ and God in their life.

And when the same evil spirit can't find anyone else to dwell in, it will go back to the first person where he was first casted out from. "he finds it empty, swept, and put it in order" That means if the evil spirit finds that the previous person is still the same as before (without Christ in life), no changes, no protection and everything is in order. Then the evil spirit will bring in seven more evil spirit who is far worst to corrupt back the person.

So basically if someone is delivered from an evil spirit and do not go back to Christ, keep him/herself clean, or avoid committing sin. The person will not grow better but get corrupted and trapped into sin.

So be aware and careful of what you do even after you're being delivered from sin/evil spirit/traps.

God bless you w22

A reminder for everyone...

To remind you how great is our God, how big He is...
Its a sermon by Louie Giglio during Chris Tomlin's Indescribable Tour
I believe this adds on to the video about earth that Jessie shared with us.
All together 5 videos are going to take up to about an hour.
So prepare the time and concentrate while watching.
Multi-tasking is not recommended (e.g. facebook-ing, MSN chatting etc.)
A lot of Maths and Science involved, and of course indescribable ones!!!
Enjoy, and be amazed!!!

Part 1


Part 2


Part 3


Part 4


Part 5


Sometimes we felt that we are getting dry in the walk with God, drifting away from Him and have a lot of doubts...
But remember this, when we wait upon the Lord, its a promise from Him that He will renew our strength. When we're out of breath, He will give us enough air to carry on and on and on... Even when we let go on Him, He will never let go.

I hope it spoke to you as much as to me and my friend who told me about this.

Michika ♥

Ps.Mike Connell- Father's Day, Sat (14/06)

Actually you guys can and should here the sermon yourself if you missed it due to any various reasons...you can find it on the website..this is a short summary of the points
Ps. Mike gave a lot of illustration and examples..so its best to listen..its all a long continuous story and too much good stuff to type

Victim Vs. Victor
Victim mentality- way of viewing oneself as powerless

Case Study
Jephthah (Judges 10 , 11)
- suffered tremendous injustice
- difficulty in parents relationship
- mother wanted to get rid of him
- hatred from step mom and step brothers
- thrown out of the house
- eventually ran away from home

What is our initial purpose? (view genesis and the story of Adam)
1)....
Gen 1:28
2) We are designed to win/excel
- Consider that one always feels good/satisfied in wining/achieving something
- One can use lost/defeat as stepping stone
3) We are created to choose
- Each of us have free will and the power to choose
4) We are created to take responsibilities for ourselves
- Take ownership of your choices
- Every decision has a consequence
- Challenges should be seen as opportunities

Symptoms of Having a Victim Mentality
1. Avoiding/Shifting Responsibilities
2. Blaming Others
- Failure to connect consequence to choice
- Too busy being bitter/hurt about something
3. Focus on Negativity/Problems and Complaining
4. Reactive
- Don't seek help from people
- Often angry when there is feedback
- Often think they are being attacked
5. Resentful, Bitter About People Around Them
- Running everyone down
- Angry and dissatisfied about other people doing better
6. Frustrated
- Always waiting for God/breakthrough instead of finding out how to position oneself to get a breakthrough
7. Passive
- Always hoping for something
- Never stepping out
- Full of unbelief

How we can become a victor & What we must do
Jephthah- "one who breaks through"
- He refused to be a victim
- He resolved the grief of injustice (even though he was treated unfairly he got over it)
- He developed his giftings when no one was looking
also
- Reach to the Lord to let Him heal
- Forgive whoever
- Get busy for the course of the Lord

Hi guys..this is the map to my house as requested by mr.summit/titanium finalist haha..most of u guys already know my place but just in case of the occasional short term memory lost as of similar to Krys'...hehe...and sorry for the amateur map sketching!..see u guys later!

(*click me*) 

Who is He?

"Before i formed you in the womb, I knew you, before you were born I set you apart.."

Jer 1:5

"Can a mother forget he baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne?
Though she may forget, I will never forget you!" declares the Lord
Is 49:15




Elohim, God our creator..
.
.
.

For His wisdom is so profound, his power is vast



He commands the sun not to shine



and shuts off the light of the stars.



He alone stretches out the skies


(taken by pui,gor and cher june 07 at npe)


and walks on the waves of the sea.



He does wonders that cannot be understood;



He does so many miracles they cannot be counted
by Job, in relentlessness..


God's greatest disappointment is when He is being doubted..
-Ps.Rob

Before you doubt, think twice and know that He is God
-Psalm 46:10

Cher

Blessed by Ps. Robb Thompson

This special Excellence Conference was really amazing and I'm 100% sure that everyone who went (even only for one night) are blessed.
I must say it is so relevant to my life especially I'm now in the season of changing and growing.
I totally cried out during worship on Tuesday night. I was so touched. And after I got home, I just set everything aside, clear my mind and played "Heart After You"(CHC-Cross) & "Surrender All"(Parachute Band) on my iPod, and just worship Him and prayed. I had never experience God so much before this. He just keep talking to me. Telling me in order to move on, I need to be strong, forgive and to let go of the sadness, disappointment that some of my friends brought to me last year and so much so much more.
I know choosing this Narrow Way, this walk with God is not going to be easy, but I will be strong and run the race of life together with all of you and shine for God!!!

Quite a number of you guys couldn't make it for both Monday and Tuesday night. Aww~ dont feel sad.
Here I'll share the points that Ps. Robb talked about (you guys who went can please help me add in some notes if you think there are more to share? and also can help those like Sara, Jessie, Yew Jin, Aaron they all to understand better. thanks!)

Keys to Unlock God's Abundance
Monday (2nd June 2008)

1. The most celebrated demon in all of Hell was the one assigned to convince you that God wants you poor. Ps. 65:11 ; 35:27 Gen 13:2 ; 14:23 Prov 10:32 Acts 30:25
   
2. Prosperity is having more than enough provision to fulfill what God requires. Deut 8:18, 2 Cor 9:12-16; Phil 4:11-19 (God greatest pleasure is when we believe in Him)
   
3. God will not give you a future that make Him unnecessary. Deut 8:7-17; Prov 3:5-6; Phil 1:29
   
4. Poverty is not the lack of money, Poverty is the proof of misguided money. Prov 11:24-25; 3:9-10; 28:22 (Giving is a proof that we have conquered GREED)
5. We all get 24 hours a day. The only difference between any of us is how we spend them. Col 4:5; Prov 21:5; 28:20 (Time is greater than money)
6. A life without a harvest is proof you have invested in the wrong people. Luke 6:38; 2 Chron 20:35 (Quality of your soil determines the size of harvest)
7. Giving to God what belongs to Him, guarantees God giving to us what grace provides. Lev 27:30; Mal 3:6-10 [Give Him what he ask for(tithe) & Ask from God a seed that we can sow]

Tuesday (3rd June 2008)

1. Abundance is the reward of the sower, while lack is the consequence of the hoarder. Pro 11:24-25; 3:9-10; Luke 6:38; Phil 2:3 (Be humble, and think other people are better than us & TRUST Him) **(Our life will never be based on the verses we like!)*
2. Obedience is the master key that unlocks heaven's abundance. Is 1:19-20 ; Deut 28:1-2; Deut 28:47-48; James 1:22-25.
3. The greatest test any man will ever face is the fearsome test of "prosperity". Deut 8:11-17; Prov 11:28 (Never allow money to be the protector in our life, remember the Lord always) 1tim 6:7-10 Greed has no power over us!
4. Everything in your future is created by something in your present. 2Cor 9:6-7; Gal 6:-7; 1Kings 17:6-7; 1Chron 29:11-12. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, bring the seed to God, let him multiply it, and harvest is on its way to our life. The proof of love is the seed we sow.
   

Much love,
Michika =)
