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 =)

A prayer need at this time is for my exams. Now i'm not sure if you all knew this about me, but before I came to UK I was a very lazy person and did not enjoy studying at all hence all my tuitioning. Well since I've came to UK i've learned how to be self independent and to self study. So this exams that i'm about to take is the first time in my life that I actually self studied for and feel fairly prepared for it.Although I am one day behind in my preperations so I hope to catch up. Anyway I would like to ask for you all to help pray for me to do well. Here is my exam schedule as follows:

5th June: Electrical engineering

6th June: Thermofluids

12th June: Enjineering Mechanics

17th June: Engneering Insight

18th June: Mathematics for Mechanical engineering

Yeah as I typed that out I suddenly felt very worried hahha I should be going off to study soon. Anyway I will put up another post after my exams about my life and friends here. I think that one is long long long overdue.But you'll get to see alot of cute guys (cough cough er Puiks) and maybe some really hot girls (cough cough Gor). Sorry I dun think I can bring them back for you all but er maybe next time you can come up to UK to claim k?

So I hope you all are doing great, I'm really happy that CG is growing really fast. Aaron toold me there are now twice the number of guys in CG.hehehe. see Kee Wee, Gor, we are no longer that out numbered hehehe. Anyway, Kee Wee I know I promised you an e-mail but I think I will keep posting updates when I can and if I need something more personal then I will e-mail you =) I hope you stay well and good luck to those with exams coming up or are sitting for exams now. Good luck to Mr. Titanium, i'm sure you are going to win it. I am supporting you spiritually. Oh Good luck to Gor I hope this is not too late but for your Learders training and stuff. Good Luck Ya Wan for the modelling thing. Let me know how it goes alright? I'm missing you all!!!

Love,

Jons

My NeW CoNnEct (head jerk) Group!

ellooo this is my first time writing a post for the blog.I'm excited.hehe...sorry for being MIA for a while.I've been so busy with exams.Just to let you know I still keep thinking bout you guys alot and I miss you guys very much.I miss you too Kee Wee...and everyone else!Lee Choo,Cher,Pui,Gor,Gor's sexy sis ,and mum,Har,Regina,Jessie,Harukajukuka,Sara,Regina,Gossip Boy,PANG!my favorite,the new guys,"hello:)" looking forward to meeting muscle guy..and not forgetting Jon...and er..Tim??hehe.Forgive me if I've missed anyone.

ANYWAY..yeah so just wanna tell you bout my new connect group and everything.Back then I was still scouting around,I went to hillsong church at first..went to their connect a couple of times.So yeah this is a picture of some of them


..most of them are singaporeans and malaysians.I can really relate to them..I mean,our jokes are the same and everything.Haha..But nothing beats our w22jokes.We're the best.

Here's a picture of the church...back home in KL we're like whoa....HILLSONG.But over here it's like...oh ok.Normal..hehe.Few Sundays back Hugh Jackman was at Hillsong attending the service..HUGH JACKMAN..apparently his nanny goes to hillsong.Gosh.Wish I was there..my friends saw him.


And they have their own bus as well



Well anyways I was still deciding...I went to CCC Oxford Falls the first week I was here. Esther's (Pastor's wife) brother and mum brought me there.It's really really nice..the place is SO HUGE.They have an Art Gallery there,with all Phil Pringles paintings...they all look so professional and they sell it for a very high price.If some of you don't know how his paintings look like,one of it is hanging on Pastor's office wall..the picture of the cross.Really nice..Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures of it.:(Sorry guys.But NVM....I ended up visiting their satellite church instead.It was mind blowing..the atmosphere was so spiritual and everyone was into the heart of worship.The pastor was really so so good.He's very inspiring,funny,energetic and Passionate.He is really a person of substance.He's a lebanese but he grew up in Australia...His name is Anthony Shalala..yes...funny I know!

Meet the Shalala's



..that's his wife...very pretty.Such a powerful woman of God.I do want to be just like her...she's like a Joyce Meyer!She preaches sometimes.Really inspiring..!

So yeah after lots of prayer and asking God which Church I should be planted in I knew in my heart that this was the church I wanted to be in:)Every Sunday I feel like my faith is being challenged and taken to a higher level.It brings me so much out of my comfort zone..somewhat uncomfortable..But exciting.I've learnt to really look fear in the eye and command it out of my life in Jesus name!So I've learnt so much from living away from home.


So..this was on my way to Central City Church (a satellite church of CCC)

nice maple leaves...It's now the end of autumn.



And meet my new CG leader..Rita Lahoud


...she's very friendly,understanding,spiritual and a very good leader.Very blessed to be under her.

and of course a few of my CG members...I don't really have a picture of all of them.Will get one and show you guys soon.

*Yawn..well it's like 2.30AM here.I think I'll stop here.Will post up other stuff soon about my Uni life and friends..Just for the record,my math tutor's name is David Crocker.Man,first time I heard it,I kept thinking of the song...gimme gimme..and kept laughing to myself.

Last but not least I do miss Abel..haha
Sorry la..have to add that in...

..and yes we're still the lamest couple in the world...hehe

He's coming in 15 days and I'm counting down.Can't wait...

Taipoh's 22nd Birthday!

So, on thursday we celebrated Yvonne's birthday after cell group.
It was meant to be a surprise, therefore we tried so hard to cover it by using other excuses such as shooting Jonson's birthday video, discussing, planning stuff and all...
Phew~
she didn't expect anything

Then, we brought out the cake and switched off the lights
Yvonne loves the little "happy birthday" balloon that Michika got for her =)
Happy 22nd Birthday
Yvonne aka Taipoh!
W22 loves you~

Dear W22, I'm back!

I've started class yesterday, Monday actually, but I missed it.

2nd year of Psychology Major is getting much harder I would say. Imagine getting handful of assignments on the second day of class. And I'm always the one who struggles to stay awake during lectures =p

So yea, this holiday is great! Not really perfect timing and all. At least I had enough rest to prepare myself for this new semester. The trip to Hello Kitty land wasn't as interesting I would say. But I got some blessings tho. Will share bout it later, just read on.

One thing I miss the most at home is my daddy's cooking, the taste of home. Even some normal steam fish can taste like heaven. My dad can cook really well! (Girls who are single, better find a husband who can cook! I'm finding one as well...pray about it! haha.)

I have an M.P.R (Major Praise Report). Its about the financial condition in my family. Previously one of my dad’s businesses was losing money I guess its because the lacked of experience in running F&B business. Therefore they were kinda stressed because they have to use the money from other businesses to cover the expenses and stuff... After praying and praying and praying, they finally found someone to take over. My parents are obviously super happy. Praise the Lord~

Ok, move on to my grandma, who has Alzheimer. She bathes like 5 times and above a day then she said that she didn’t bathe for 3 days. Something that really impressed me was, she reads the bible everyday and look forward to every week’s church service, and prayer meetings. She remembers the exact date and time for each services and prayer meeting. Its indeed a miracle for an Alzheimer patient.

Then finally, M.P.N. My uncle in Fukuoka, mum's brother, recently lost his job as a professor in the University Hospital. He was sick and hospitalized for one whole month due to unknown virus infection, its really bad. Hundreds of ulcer in the mouth and even down the throat, so he couldn't eat any solid food, even drinking water is very very torturing. He cried because of the pain.
And the politics in the workplace was really bad. The other assistant professors sort of forced him to resign while he is sick so that they could climb up to his position. Therefore he resigned and hes now jobless. Please help me and my family to pray for his speedy recover and also a better job (hes just claimed some unemployment insurance they have this thing in Japan, so yea, currently he still gets financial income but it only last for 6 months.)

Last but not least, the big blessing that I got from Hello Kitty Land.
