the stories
Didn't want to blog but smths just can't be contained!Though much has been said in Marcus's and sunny's blog, i still wanna blog bout it!Ytd 10:30 Marcus Hosea called me. I was like 'studying' cuz want to please my mother den after that can watch Euro 08! But Marcus suddenly tell me to go meet hmi at pp mrt! I look at the time, look at my mum, den reaplied no cannot! But marcus was like "this concerns life and death!" And so after a minute of persuadin i decided to go! I told my mum my church ppl meeting me den i just rush out of the house. Haha they was like wah u so late goin where? Den they tot of stupid things that i may be doing like wat meeting some gangster or wat... So i just left la. Took 1 Mrt stop reached Potong pasir! Den while waitin, me, Chester and Gabriel was like wa if they testing me i will like...ahemm haha. (Note: We repented!)When they came i saw all their looks. Suddenly felt must be God did smthing to them! When they reach they showed us a video- THEY SHARED CHRIST ON THE TRAIN! This is the second time but i believed from wat i hear and saw, this time is with much more conviction! I really felt something strong in them. They started talking to us bout wat happen. After awhile i sense it! I caught it! How can it be 3 jokers jokin den suddenly tot of the same thing and a serious thing while jokin? They suddenly realised there is only 2 mths left to the completion of Cg 08 and the importance of completing the Great commission! They've got the same burden from God! It must be God which told them this! Cant be human mind thinkin bout it rite? Den they started sharing bout wat they felt and how are they goin to act on it! Using the verses,Hebrews 12:1-2, 1 Corinthians 9:26-27 and Proverbs 28:9. Den it left a burden on us the Coreteam!Wow. If u have not notice, its just 2 mths left! Our Neb vision of G.M.S is not yet even half COMPLETED! I went home with much burden on me for Cg 08, GMS and the Great commission. Plus due to the suddeness of goin out so late, my parent was very angry and many things happen. I faced strong opposition! Den ya i have no choice but to seek God. I immediatly apply wat i learn ytd. We bound to face opposition if we want to follow God strongly! Den plus suddenly my sheep call me! Again another problem appeared! Wah i was like....I *cry out to God immediatly! As in i really cried out. I was like crying why why why and why God, WHY? After cooling down(though still got lots of 'aftermath' until the next day when i called marcus and sunny...haha..), i repented! Haha why am i blaming and questioning God??? I always rmb this sermon on relieving stress- God would not give us anything we can't take! And oso rmb watever is it, when we face prob cuz of following God, God will back us up! Anyway just spoke to Marcus Hosea not long ago. He said a very common sentence which i forgotten while i was whining- "nothing is too big a problem for God!"(Thank you Marcus Hosea, Sunny, Chee Hwee and my sheep! for giving me encouragements!)So i went to do my QT reading the book of Acts with the burden i have, with the strong spirit in me after the meeting and the desperate prayer, i really absorbed lots of things from the QT! Acts1-2. I reallly admire the spirit of Peter! I WANT to be like him making a big step forward to speed up God second coming! In a speech, he reached out to 3000! To think 3000! wont it be a bigger step to speed up it's coming??? It says in 2 Peter 3:11-12 " 11Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of ppl ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives 12as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming." Amen man! I want to live a life that is for God. And i want to speed it's coming!"All in all, we are going to believe that NEB is going to grow! NEB is going to be never the same again! NEB is going to be the place where people are going to be dispatched to the world! NEB is going to be the most Godly group! NEB is going to be the most Word-centered group! NEB is going to set the benchmark for all guys and girls in church/the world! NEB is going to hit 100!!! We are going to be the first to do so."-Marcus hosea's BlogBy setting the Bench mark, we will be the Salt and light for everyone! We will influence the others by our conviction, comitmment, experience and our fruits! this will spur on ppl to work harder for God and soon this phrase "The great commission is goin to be completed in our lifetime." Will not be seen as impossible. IT WILL BE POSSIBLE! IN OUR LIFETIME! I want to be the one which will proudly say "that i've completed the race. I'm in the generation that completed the Great commission." I've recieved the 'baton' from moses from joshua from paul. I'm now running towards the finishing line. And soon i will shout out (from 2 Tim 4:17) "I've fought the good fight, I've
finishED the race, I've kept the
FAITH!"
So marcus yea 50 for SA!Hope this isn't NATO! :)
