there is never the issue of time not being enough. we set the deadline, we set how much time we need to accomplish something.

it is always about the heart wanting to make use of the time we had allocated to accomplish the task by the deadline.

time constantly runs. the factor is only ourselves.

yesterday had a fun time fellowshipping with one of the great racers I've seen in the ministry and for God. shared and crapped on a lot of things but one which hit me was this: The Great Commission.

As the verse says:

Matthew 28:19-20 (NKJV)

19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.

So he was asking me what was the great commission all about and my answer was really about making disciples. For you to make disciples, you have to start loving them, care for them and build relationships. And it needs to be cultivated to be a lifestyle.
Ministry is just another platform or a word for most of us to serve in a different arena for God but looking at the whole picture, all things lies down to the basics and it's really making disciples and building relationships. If you are serving in the ministry to exercise and grow your talent, to help out in other areas of the ministry, it's fine. But will all these count if we start to lose the passion for people?
And loving them ain't just asking them how they are doing, week in and out but it's deep down fellowship of wanting to bless each other, to teach each other what we learnt etc...
It did hit me in the back, reminding me as I'm more into ministry, I shouldn't sink too deep and forget about the essence of the entire organisation: people (be it ushers or members or friends).

So i'm pretty gladful for the peeps that had been in my life and their presence makes the difference! :)
Well, that's what friends are for! :)

till next time~~~ :P

Gen 28:10-22 (Jacob's Vow at Bethel)

This falls in the time when Jacob was on his way towards Haran and as the sun had set, he found himself a resting ground and as he slept, he dreamt of God in the heavens with the angels singing and dancing before him.
That's when God had revealed and promised Jacob things similar to what He had promised Abraham in his days as quoted in v13-15: "And behold, the LORD stood above it and said: "I am the LORD God of Ahraham your father and the God of Issac; the land on which you lie I will give to you and your descendents. "Also your descendants shall be as the dust of the earth; you shall spread abroad to the west and the east, to the north and the south; and in you and in your seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed. "Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land; for I will not leave you until I have done what I have spoken to you."
As Jacob woke up after that dream (which he found it too amazing to be true still), he anointed, dedicated the place to God and proclaimed God as his LORD God (v21).

I was just writing this summary of that portion of the book.. I won't say it's really random but I was feeling down quite a few minutes ago and God just pointed me to this passage. Pretty cool, coz' from the dream God had given Jacob, from Jacob's point of view it might had been big and had probably questioned himself if it could really be done. People around him had done so but there were still doubts in his heart if it could really be accomplished.
I think I'm quite like Jacob in this case where I think some dreams are a bit too big to accomplish and with the setbacks around, I tend to think if it was the right route for me though He had blessed it for me. Otherwise I will be thinking if I'm the right person for the right job coz' there hasn't been any remarkable results for myself and I seem to be dragging the other people down. Surely if it's from God things should had been more progressive than this right?
(P.S. the above are the thoughts I had, they do not composite to anything more than thoughts)

Then as I was typing, God revealed the word 'time' to me. Time is an indication, a measurement for us to guage in terms of us doing things, or waiting for a matter of fact. As quoted from http://dictionary.reference.com, time (noun) refers to the following:
Time is finite, means it is measurable. And from the time someome promises us something to the time the promise is fulfilled, it is considered a period. And usually during this period there are processes involved in having that promise fulfilled, with external factors involved as well. So I sort of got this revelation that feeling down, getting anxious etc are all part of this process in this period of time. They don't mean the end!
It just means to continue walking, walking, and walking, doing what is necessary until the time the promise is fulfilled. Similarly to Jacob again, it took a period of time before the promise was fulfilled for him and who said that walking with God is like a bed of roses? Haha!
But the key point I'm getting is continue to rely on God no matter how good or bad things are, coz in the point of dedication of ourselves to God, it means we are willing to consecrate ourselves to God and believing for the promise He had given us to come through.

Amen~~

Oh man i sounded like i was preaching.. back to work.. haha.. *hope it's not considered too random for someone, haha*

it kills to be sick.. dun like being sick... haiz....

Wednesday, November 11, 2009 @ 11:11 AM

i dun like falling sick seriously... waking up with headaches and it's never a fun thing seriously...

feel like knocking my head against the wall at times but thank God I don't! Haha!!

this wk so far had been fun!

Sat had fellowship with CG in PS and celebrated Mel's bday. Pretty fun of how we sabotaged her but a bit too quick to do it. Haha.. Followed by Starbucks till 2.15am. o.O I think this cg is good at this, hanging out at starbucks till wee hours! but it's fun! haha.. crappy jokes on how Roy never washes his jeans till 3 months later etc, oops! But going home at that timing means 3 hrs of slp before ministry the next day... Haha but it's worth it! :)

Sun was ministry and it was like a bit of mess but thank God for people standing in the gap, but it's like the best day for me personally. Felt that day was the start of a greater breakthrough in the department personally as I'm on the way to change someone's life. Not talking about who but I'm really seeing changing a person through discipleship, one by one. To personally impact them and train them up to be as good or better than me! Though the effects are not great as it is to one, but it is something. Guess i'm discovering a new talent in this area? haha...
Had a talk with 80 as well and he gave me an unimaginable target which i had my jaw dropped for 10 seconds. Will need faith to believe that it will come but i'm more amazed by how blessed I was in my talk with him.
*Difference between a feedback and a complaint lies in the word "attitude". Good attitude gives constructive feedbacks for one to improve but bad attitude detests others with complaints*
How cool is that? :)
Followed which I had a dinner treat from Jenn! haha.. thanks so much for the treat :) next time we go out to eat my turn to treat ya k? :P

Mon and Tue were pretty okay except I found someone which I had known for sometime but didn't realise we got similar interests in history and arts? it's so amazing really! LOL... anyway, more fellowships to go! haha..

so that's all for now... tata!! :):):)

@ 10:00 AM

recently have been falling sick and getting 'sick' of gg to work literally at times.. but i need to persevere on.

i need to buck up, buck up, buck up!! Face the reality of life, it's not a foam party but a life full of thorns and you get hurt when you are not careful! of course there are still amazing things ard like friends and family and God.

set things lying around, and you are doomed for death. people will warn you before hand of the danger ahead, you still don't listen, you are on a faster track to death!!
*okok sounds too serious * haha...

just finished helping Mel do up the slides which she had difficulty in.. Haha.. back to work!
