Water baptism

2008-06-26T09:20:00.000-07:00

Water Baptism

Water baptism is a symbolic burial, by which the new Christian publicly declares they have died, and are now beginning a new life, in Christ.
Baptize is the English form of a Greek word which means to immerse: to place something into something else.
In Christian water baptism, the believer is put completely under water, then immediately raised out of the water.
Water baptism is a statement of faith: my old life is behind me -- I am a new person, with a new life.
Water baptism is a sign of repentance -- repentance means change -- a change so drastic that the old person is "buried."
It does not make you acceptable to God. As a work of righteousness, trying to obtain a good standing with God, it is worthless.
Water baptism is a way of giving testimony to what has happened inwardly, and a clear commitment to turn from the old life.

Art of leadership

2008-06-25T09:38:00.000-07:00

I read this and felt it was rather impactful

For all aspiring great leaders

read this...

The art of LEADERSHIP

A good leader is one

- who dares to make the first move

who is able to translate vision into reality

who is able to sense the winds of change, and points to the right direction

who inspires and motivates his people

who develops people- ADDS

who develop leaders-MULTIPLES

who is able to keep cool under pressure

who is a MAN OF ACTIONS not just words

who gives HOPE to others

who appeal to the HEARTS of his people not their minds

who is a MAN OF INTEGRITY

Songs

2008-06-23T08:31:00.000-07:00

Songs has been always a form of self expression of arts, a universal language (you listen to animes like Doreamon's opening song even you don't even know what they singing about right?) among mankind. Imagine a world without music, like a silent black and white protrait that moan of despair and destruction.

Imagine integrating songs into your daily prayers. I felt so peaceful listening to this new worship song introduced by Pastor Kong. It is like a beckoning from Jesus himself. What more I got to say? Listen more and be blessed! Here are the lyrics.

Hati Hamba
Standing in awe of Your grace

Setting my feet in Your ways

Entering into Your presence

To behold You face to face

God of all Heaven and earth

Holding me in Your embrace

Unfailing love that surrounds me

Oh..God I stand amazed

Chorus

My Jesus, My Lord

You're the love of my life

Wherever You go

Wanna be by Your side

No longer I

But Christ living in me

Serving You for all eternity

My eyes set on You

In this race that I run

No longer my ways

Let Your will be done

Make me a servant

My heart's ever true

Clinging to the cross

I'll follow You

I'll follow you

It not by chance that we are together as a cell group. Just to love to see everyone bonding with one another thru the thick and thin. Thank Lord for all of you. Love you guys W350! :)

Just reached home from the 3-day NEOS CAMP! It is the best camp I have ever been. I mean where you can get adam khoo camp(motivational) + school orinetation camp(fun) and serving our Heavenly Father at the same time? This camp has changed my perspective about prayers being dreading and tiring. (But listening to people preaching and lecturing is a different matter) I didn't know you can use the different verses in the bible and form a powerful analogy about Sin, You and God.

The night where we play the games really lift the whole camp spirit level UP! Three different zones united as one. (I don't even know they existed in the 1st place, geez.) As I was typing this, I was unconsciously humming "As we walk to the left, as we walk to the right..." Ivan, thanks for praying for me these 3 days. Your explanation of the drifting bottle and the sea really amazed me cause it is just...me. Work something on your bad cough, k? Shall keep you in prayer on your health.

Everyone! Let's continues our 21 days prayer fervently till the very end. Only the ones that can persist shou enjoy the harvest. As Luke 11:8 mentioned, "I say to you, though he will not rise and give to him because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence he will rise and give him as many as he needs"

From Yunsheng

2008-06-04T22:32:00.000-07:00

This 21 day prayer has made me grow into another level! (:

Usually, we make excuses that our friend is not free. Maybe our friend doesn't have the potential, maybe he/she is not free that day, maybe he/she dislikes coming to church.

In John 4 : 35, Jesus says that " Do you not say, 'There are still four months and then comes the harvest'? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest."

We shouldn't make excuses to ourselves that our friends are not ready and they still need time, because the fields are ready for harvest and we can go out to harvest them now! So stop making excuses as every week is the week of harvest! (:

Love,
Jeslynn aka Polar Bear! (:

blessed!

Hi guys

I am really very blessed by this 21 days prayer. And i really feel my capacity in praying has increased so much! Sometimes, i myself feel that i might be too busy doing my stuff, such as school work and other acivitites, but its only when i actually made effort this round to make it 1 hour every single day, that God has really given me new fire and passion for the things of God!

Today he told me about walking upright with God, just like king David:

1 chron 29:17: and know also, my God, that You test the heart and have pleasure in uprightness.

I had a vision that if we are people that walk with a focus on God, our eyes fixated upon heaven, then nothing will distract us, such as things from the side or anywhere else , in terms of our worldly concerns!

I checked te dictionary: Upright: Means standing straight vertically
Isn;t that what is all about? We look to heaven and we have a positive and a vertical relationship with the most high. we are assured of our confidence in him and also we are blessed cause we can look up to him as our helper/friend!

We look unto God, the author and finisher of our faith!

Hey everyone! Everyone can write revelations or anything (ermm, correction. Must have some link with cg or someone is going to strangle me). As long you find the link, you can post in this blog. If you really got nothing to write about, you can bypass the requirements just by posting random cg members' name or cg inside your quirky post such as "Nice day W350!" as your signing off.

This blog is for everyone to post and keep everyone update on what you are doing. Maybe you just visit a bakery or coffee shop and found the food taste delicious, you can tell us about it and who knows, you might even get a treat from our Ah Gong! Or you may be shopping and found you need to get another friend of yours to enjoy the discount you needed. That is where we come in also! In case you didn't realise, there are numerous grammatical errors in this post. It is fine with us. (My English is not that bad ok, I am just illustrating a example. Someone is going to say, "ya, right...*roll eyes*) Remember to prepare in advance for your NEOS CAMP. (Especially for those you know who you are).

Type until so shiok that I didn't realise you guys are going to have headaches reading it. (Don't find me for medical fees, read at your own discretion). Have a nice day! W350! :>

Happy 21st Kelvin!

NEOS CAMP! SPECIAL REPORT

2008-05-28T00:23:00.001-07:00

NEOS CAMP UPDATE:

Total friends confirmed 5
Target-10

Question: WILL YOU BE ABLE TO CONTRIBUTE AND BRING YOUR FRIEND?

YOU_______________FRIEND

INVITE

Just a simple SMS, MSN, PHONECALL would do

Simple as ABC

YOU INVITE!

Worried how to invite? here is how...

YOU- Hey, you free this coming 7th June to 9th june? My church having this camp which is at jurong JC.

FRIEND-Huh... Fun or not? later go there boring how?

YOU-No la, we have midnight games, campfire, station games.. etc

FRIEND-ohh ok, sounds fun. But only your cell group ah?

YOU-No lor! We have 500 members, means 500 brand new friends for you and i to know!

FRIEND-Wah! so many! ok sounds good. But i cannot possibly know so many right?

YOU-Maybe? But we'll have CLANS and Teams, means we'll be spilt into camps, and that means we can build really strong bonds!

FRIEND-OK! But what other things can interest me?

YOU- We have 4 meals provided! Breakfast to supper! PLUS aircon sleeping environment! PLUS a FREE Camp t-shirt! ALL FREE FOR YOU!!

FRIEND-ohh okies, so how do i get there?

YOU- Oh, you want to come sat EXPO, we having a church svc before that, then we'll have a shuttle bus direct to Jurong JC! How cool is that!

FRIEND- tee hee... SET!

SEE? Its that SIMPLE!

5 reasons why they would come, in no order of importance.. (maybe to some only)

1. Its free, and being typical cheapskate singaporean, yes they would come!

2. Camp got pretty girls and handsome guys or not? Have! plenty! Somemore holy and attractive! ( Ps: at this moment, can be bhb and say you're one of them)

3. Got food or not? later hungry how ( another typical singaporean syndrome, like someone i know) Got 4 meals! more than enough! want extra??? go order macs yourself.. bleah

4. There is an aircon sleeping environment ( For people who think they are the paris hilton and boyband wannabes, want puurrffect skin, OH PURLEASE)

5. Jurong so far! Relax, we've got that covered.. Got shuttle BUS! Somemore 1 dollar, cheaper than bus and MRT. At this time.. another typical cheapskate reply would be, got return bus trip?

(PS: You think we own singapore SMRT and SBS is it, be independent and wake up your idea)

Note: The writer is a freelance writer, and any resembalance of characters/persons involved is really INTENTIONAL.

Most importantly, be smart in replying, after all we are called to be light and salt, we are meant to be God's gifts to the world. Use them!

LIKE PCK SAYS: USE YOU BLAIN LAH!

Ask yourself, "Are You Happy?"

I am (: Because i found my joy in the Lord. Happiness cannot be bought with money. Even though you may have the best material possession in the world, but you don't have happiness, what's more in having those material things?

It was during the usher training when i realised i serve God because i love him and i can find joy in him. Is the joy of serving (: Last time i was sort of reluctant whether to serve or not, but through the first usher training, i know that serving God is out of joy and love and not out of duty.

When you find joy in the Lord, you'll bring happiness to the people around you. And when people see you, you'll brighten up their day (:

"Rejoice in the Lord always, and again i say rejoice." Philippians 4:4

SMILE (:

Prayer

2008-05-02T11:04:00.000-07:00

James 5:16 (New King James Version)16 Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much..

Effective- Hearing from God and ACTING upon it!
Fervant- Passionate
Righteous- Being right with God, holy, pure

Then our prayer becomes much! It will avail.

Lets focus on this...
Meditate
PRAY

Be Blessed!
Ivan

Complaining

2008-04-30T01:05:00.000-07:00

READ!! You going to be blessed!

COMPLAINING
Quote - 'When your ears hear your lips start to sing the song of the weasel, you must learn to immediately slap the weasel within.' - Roy H Williams, "The Wizard of Ads", Bard Press. 1998, pg 162

When a kettle boils, steam whistles through the spout.

When we reach the threshold of what we can cope with we complain.

This means we need to increase our capacity in that area

.Complaining is the language of victims.

We complain when we feel we have no control over negative circumstances.

Leaders cope with more than the people they lead.

They don't complain, they give thanks and see the upside.
To the positive mindset solutions appear.

The negative complaining mind fails to see any way through.

'In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.' 1 Thess 5:18-19

God talks about us being a blessin to our dearest friends and loved ones, and that includes those in our CG

The word says...

Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.

Lets all encourage and know more about your fellow members whom you meet who week in week out! Lets pray for them and their loved ones!

Stepping out with you

Annoucement!

Hi dearest W350 family!

Hope we can build a strong family cg and be closer as we fellowship and get to know each other better through these months ya.
I hope that through this blog, we can share more about our personal walk with God and talk more about our personal revelations with God daily.How often we get to hear about members speaking about God's intervention in their daily lives? You know its really amazing how God can speak to members through your very own personal tesimony and how YOU can encourage and spur fellow members to read more about God and experience him personally for breakthroughs!
I pray that all of us will contribute something weekly even though all of us are either busy at work or in school. Bible talks about us being a blessing and a giver, for indeed it is more blessed to give than to receive. So lets all blog and start the ball rolling amen?

I am really looking forward to reading all about God's goodness and his grace upon your life weekly! Thanks in advance for the breakthrough word and exciting news that you will be bringing!

Stepping out together with you,
mr-van
