Gosh 2009 had just zoomed by at such a super FAAAST speed!
As I sit here now to pen this down, I realized year 2009 was a year of stretching for me… so many unfamiliar grounds and learning happened. I must say I’ve grown much in the year 2009.
1. I’ve read more books than the year before – that is amazing, with the limited time that I had I managed! I’ve read 4 books and half way thru my 5th book now..BTW these are not stroy books k...
2. I’ve experience a total low in my life – that was a scary experience BUT PTL that I was quick to realize so I when off for a quick break to regain myself.
3. Never had worked so hard and still enjoying myself a lot – with two businesses indeed I would be kept busy add on with the need of moving into the new church building THAT is even busier! This was a totally new challenge to me and I’ve never worked so hard in my life time! Phew….
What I’ve learn from all these? People always have this common phrase “no time” and you can always read from successful and famous people’s books or write up they will say TIME is made by you! This phrase is so so true! Indeed in times like today, time seems to be super limited! BUT you can make a difference still with it, it is all up to YOU! And somewhere in the limited time we must make time for a break (away) – holidays.
For year 2010, I’m entering it with confidence that God’s promises to me will come to pass in this year! Will at least some of them….So I believe and know the year ahead, 2010 is going to be a prosperous year to me in all areas of my life! Yea! Because my God is a faithful God and all things will happen thru Him! What I’m able to do in year 2009 is all because of Him – the grace and strength that He has given to me! All glory to Him!
Is going to be a great year ahead! 2010 here I come to possess you so that my God’s Name can be glorify!
Blessed New Year 2010 to all my family and friends!

Bearing Fruits?
I was doing some watering on my Mom’s garden or rather vegetable farm hehe… And I realized wow!!! There are so many different kinds of fruit that can be produced and all of them are drawing from the same piece of land! This reminds me of 1 Cor 12:14 – that in one body there are many parts. So that is fine… means we will have different functions and talents tho’ we may be drawing from the same source!
So I’m satisfied and it’s true we will produce different fruits in the ministry or in our life time.
Then I realized hmmm… to ensure all these different plants produce their respective fruits different treatment and attention is required! Some may required more attention than others during certain time of the year. This brings me to Ecc 3:1-8, there is a time for everything! Means there are times when the plant will require more attention and other time no and it’s left to grow on its own. There is a time when pruning is required. Which brings me to John 15 – the wine tree story :-) Understand that for a tree to bear much fruits it needs to be prune John 15:2b.
Here it states that all trees are to bear fruits – John 15:16!
So watering… watering… I go then I came across a tree.. it’s pretty big by now… and I realized that I’ve never eaten any fruits from it! Why didn’t my Mom cut it down? BTW my Mom had cut off all the papaya trees which produce lots and lots of good fruits. So, why? In John 15:2 – it states if fruits are not producing, it shall be cut off.
So why didn’t my Mom chop it off? I wondered for quite awhile and I asked the Lord about it too. Then the Lord showed me this Bible verse Luke 13:6-9. This shows that all is given a chance! Don’t chop off something just because we think it’s not going to produces fruits or bring benefit! One may just need a little more fertilizer and some digging in deep to understand and to move on to the next level!
However, the connection of that fertilizer and digging in deep must involved God and His Word as our guidance. If we are drawing or connecting from the wrong source and has been digging from the wrong soil then we will missed out on the things and plans of God. This also means NOT all fertilizer fits us!
Good fertilizer will become bad if we do not know how to handle it. This teaches me so much about having an open mindset and heart to learn what is needed so that we are in the position to be upgraded! And not all fertilizer is for us to draw from. We need to be focus. Too much fertilizer can also kill the plant – this also taught me that too much information may kill us if we do not know how to take in the right amount for ourselves. Or information that is release to us too early will also kill us! Because we are just not ready for it as it maybe too strong!
All of us need to be upgraded first than only we can continue to bear much fruits for the Kingdom! But in being upgraded, do we know what to do with all those that are being downloaded or released into our life! If we do not know how to handle it, that “good” will become “bad” to us. So folks know how to receive and also how to digest so that you can continue to be a useful vessel for the Lord and one that is found to be bearing much fruits!
From just doing some watering in the garden the Lord has taught me so much! So always talk to the Lord and be open to the Spirit for He may speak and teach any time.

2nd Nike Shirt
Whoalau eh! My God just doesn’t STOP! I just managed to blog about my 1st Nike shirt before I went off from office and when I got home what a SURPRISE!!!
I had dinner first before I even when up to my room and when I got to my room ta-ta!!! I saw another Nike Shirt laying with the rest of my clothes! Wah!!!! I was so overwhelm with the Lord’s goodness! My 2nd one!!! This is just too awesome! I thought it was a 2nd hand shirt hand down from my Dad and I was still super happy and glad!
But then I think to myself I’ve never saw my Dad wore this shirt before and never knew he had a Nike shirt! So I asked my Mom and my Mom told me it belongs to my Dad but its new! He never wore it before! I was like what?!!! So is another brand new ORI Nike shirt!!!
Then I told my buddy, SF, and she said hey… that was an inheritance for you! I went “OF Course it was!!!” My Dad had always wanted the best for me and when I was young he wasn’t able to provide it for me and gosh! He is fulfilling them now! Mine! God is just showing me how bless I can be when I follow after His heart and walk according to His calling!
I’m truly overwhelm and excited!!! I may not have the desire of my heart when I was young BUT hey… My God is ever faithful and is fulfilling it one by one and not just what I desire when I was young BUT is double or triple the portion! Just as promised!!! All glory and honors goes to my God!!!!

1st Nike Shirt
This year my birthday was one of a memorable one. Well… I must say every year my birthday has been very memorable and I’ve lots of people to thank for! People around me has been the one that has been making my birthday memorable and unforgettable year after year!
This year I received a surprise gift of a Skyblue Nike Tshirt! Whoalau eh! That was like my dream shirt! See… all my life I’ve always wanted a Nike shirt BUT er… its abit expensive I would say…So never got one.. I’ve been wanting a Nike shirt since the age of 8 or 9 and I’ve even got myself an imitation one at the aged of 17 and felt great about it liao!!! This year! Gosh is for real k?!!! I was so touched because my God is ever promising and is fulfilling my dreams one by one! I’ve forgotten how much it meant for me to have this Nike shirt. Since young I’ve always envied people having nice shirts to wear and nice gadgets to play with and I usually get the 2nd hand or the cheap cheap ones to use due to my family financial situation is not that strong then.
When I received this Nike Shirt I literally heard God said more will come my child you just stay faithful and I will prosper you! Wah!!! You tell me! Will you not have tears in your eyes? It was the promise of God that yes… I may not have the best when I was young BUT He will pay it back to me in triple portion! I just need to stay faith to His call J Gosh…
For those of you who have seen the beautiful video clip done by one of my disciple JW you would now understand why it bring tears to my eyes! Those are tears of JOY k? And joy of LOVE! BTW it still bring tears to my eyes! Hehe… and I’m a proud owner of a Nike shirt today! Hey… an ORI one! Thank you for making my dreams come thru! Thanx most to my buddy SF, for I know it was you who suggested that gift for me! Really thank you to you all (SF, BT, JP & JW)!

Passing it on..
Ps 78:4-6
This Bible verse has really touched me the pass week on the importance of passing it on. God has place much effort in how He has build us to be who we are today and it would be a waste if we don’t pass it on and ensure that the gospel is being spread!
Little did I know that I’ve learn this principal at the very young age of my leadership. I saw the importance of building another life so that this life can be of one that God can use. That’s why I always carry a motto in me that is “We are to build life and not to kill life” in how I lead.
Being a leader is NOT easy as lots of weight is place on us. BUT that doesn’t mean that Y-O-U cannot be a leader. Anyone can be a good leader if they are willing to be that vessel of God. All of us have experience, went thru situation/environment or challenges of life that other may not have. So.. that permits you to impart into another life by sharing your life challenges!
So be that someone who is passing it on with what God is doing in your life so that the next generation will continue on with what God has place in your life and bring the glory of God to a higher and greater level!

GOSH!!!!
Haiyo! It has been almost 10 months that I didn’t blog at my own blog! Well.. lots have happened throughout this short 10 months.
I must say lots of things are not the same 10 months ago and today. I belief even how I talk today and 10 months ago is different :-0 BUT for your infor my laugher is still the same as ever! Hehe… sorry… that one no change – my trade mark bah…
In this season of preparing to crossover I truly feel the excitement in my Spirit. Because when I crossover is not just in term of church that is crossing over BUT every aspect of my life will experience a crossover! I’m bless to be a part of what God is doing in this City and I pray that all believers will be able to experience the “prosperity” season that God has set for us.
We are called to rack in the wealth of the enemy and use it to build the Kingdom. Now when I say enemy it doesn’t mean that it gives us the liberty to go out and earn without following the principal of God and just simply push even by means of corruption, not abiding to the law etc. Rack in the wealth of the enemy means we shall earn our profit not from within believers only. If we are just focusing on profiting from our own brother and sister than the wealth of the Kingdom is not increasing BUT is just rolling within the Kingdom. To increase this wealth we will need to go out to the market place and hit it hard so that the enemies profit and earning will be capture by us instead!
This practice of going out to rack in the wealth of the enemies is not for the faint hearted for it’s a war out here in the market place! The market place is tough! If we are looking for love, you most likely will never be able to find it in the market place because its all harsh out there! We therefore need to prepare ourselves well especially our Spiritual status! It is ever so needed in today’s environment! With a strong and firm Spiritual status is where we are able to overcome the worldly system and practice Godly system! A firm Spiritual status will also allow us to be the victor and the world knows it! When we practice that, that's where we see the grace of God working through and in us!
So let us continue to hit the market place knowing why we are out there and what our mission for the Kingdom is!
