Hey all my Judah 4 friends!

The year has gone by so quickly and I can still remember the 1st time I walked in to Judah 4 care group. By the way, yesterday was our last CG as Judah 4 for this year and we shared about each other and the group as a whole. To those who are away.....actually almost half of u are away....here's a little thought on my part as we come to an end of another season.

When I 1st came to this CG, I remembered so clearly that everyone was so quiet and tame.... and I was thinking to myself wow....maybe its the Australian culture ....since the environment is so quiet...unlike back home haha! But then, as time passed by there were more and more people that came into our group and we began to know each other better. That's when slowly, little by little the group got a bit more lively, noisy and crazy! Haha!

I think eversince the Bribie Island retreat that we had, we got to know each other so much better ;) The hidden side of each of us were revealed and slowly we began to be more open and got more comfortable with the group.

I particularly liked the way the group functioned in caring for one another....like for me when I 1st came , have no friends and then suddenly I found you all! haha! Thanks to all those who cooked, faithfully transported people and doing little things to make Judah 4 a bright and cheery group.

To all those who are on a holiday, HAPPY HOLIDAYS and will see all of you again next year! To those who are studying, working, in army....(Hee!)....do your best and glorify Him in all that you do. To those who are not coming back......er.....sob! sob! will miss you!

Kelvin's thoughts

I like your entry JASON!

Faith is a very important ingredient in every team. If there is no faith in a team; faith in God or faith in team mates, the team will not survive.
Even more so for me as the leader, and i do have to admit that times are becoming discouraging and even draggy.

Assignments seem like they are never ending, and worst still, there is some many things to plan for and to prepare before i go back to Singapore for awhile.But after reading that entry of yours, I am really encouraged to see that everything is possible with God, even though it doesn't seem possible in my own eyes. Don't doubt, just believe!

I am excited to see what God is going to bring forth to this unit in the coming year, He has already brought in a harvest that the leadership team of Judah 4 is finding hard to contain. But we just keep asking for more members and even shepherds to rise up!God's blessing has indeed shown me that Faith accompanied by actions will bring a unit from 15 to 30 in one year. HAHA, all i can do is just look at the unit and say:"God YOU ARE AWESOME!"

I get really bloggish when i talk about the blessings of God, can't stop!!!! But i think, for the sake of the readers and also my assignments, i better head back to the books!

Thank YOU to ALL YOU WONDERFUL PEOPLE OF JUDAH 4!!! God Bless You all in Your exams and work too!!!!!kelvin mok

Team Faith

2006-10-22T21:38:00.000+10:00

TEAM FAITH

Quote - Deuteronomy 20:8 'The officers shall speak further to the people, and say, 'What man is there who is fearful and fainthearted? Let him go and return to his house, lest the heart of his brethren faint like his heart.

Eliminate the fearful from the war because fear spreads.

Team members speak faith into each other, not fear.

In a positive atmosphere teams do the impossible.

A leader must speak faith into his people.

Leaders who communicate fear kill their organisation.

Remember ten negative spies returning from Canaan? They died.

The other two -Joshua and Caleb - they spoke faith into the people. They lived!

How Much?

There once was a man named George Thomas, pastor in a small New England town. One Easter Sunday morning he came to the Church carrying a rusty, bent, old bird cage, and set it by the pulpit. Eyebrows were raised and, as if in response, Pastor Thomas began to speak...

"I was walking through town yesterday when I saw a young boy coming toward me swinging this bird cage. On the bottom of the cage were three little wild birds, shivering with cold and fright. I stopped the lad and asked, "What you got there, son?" "Just some old birds," came the reply.

"What are you gonna do with them?" I asked.
"Take 'em home and have fun with 'em," he answered. "I'm gonna tease 'em and pull out their feathers to make 'em fight. I'm gonna have a real good time" "But you'll get tired of those birds sooner or later. What will you do?"

"Oh, I got some cats," said the little boy. "They like birds. I'll take 'em to them."

The pastor was silent for a moment. "How much do you want for those birds, son?"
"Huh?? !!! Why, you don't want them birds, mister. They're just plain old field birds. They don't sing. They ain't even pretty!"
"How much?" the pastor asked again.

The boy sized up the pastor as if he were crazy and said, "$10?"
The pastor reached in his pocket and took out a ten dollar bill. He placed it in the boy's hand. In a flash, the boy was gone.
The pastor picked up the cage and gently carried it to the end of the alley where there was a tree and a grassy spot Setting the cage down, he opened the door, and by softly tapping the bars persuaded the birds out, setting them free.
Well, that explained the empty bird cage on the pulpit, and then the pastor began to tell this story.
One day Satan and Jesus were having a conversation. Satan had just come from the Garden of Eden, and he was gloating and boasting. "Yes, sir, I just caught the world full of people down there. Set me a trap, used bait I knew they couldn't resist. Got 'em all!"
"What are you going to do with them?" Jesus asked.
Satan replied, "Oh, I'm gonna have fun! I'm gonna teach them how to marry and divorce each other, how to hate and abuse each other, how to drink and smoke and curse. I'm gonna teach them how to invent guns and bombs and kill each other. I'm really gonna have fun!"
"And what will you do when you get done with them?" Jesus asked. "Oh, I'll kill 'em," Satan glared proudly. "How much do you want for them?" Jesus asked
"Oh, you don't want those people. They ain't no good. Why, you'll take them and they'll just hate you. They'll spit on you, curse you and kill you. You don't want those people!!"
"How much?" He asked again.
Satan looked at Jesus and sneered, "All your blood, tears and your life."
Jesus said, "DONE!"
Then He paid the price.
The pastor picked up the cage he opened the door and he walked from the pulpit.
Notes: Isn't it funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the world's going to hell.
Isn't it funny how someone can say "I believe in God" but still follow Satan (who, by the way, also "believes" in God).

Evening walk...what a small world.....

I went for a eveing walk to Guyatt park today. As i slowly walk back and appreciate the afternoon sunset and the sky, suddenly a man call my name on the in coming direction of the street. When i look at the front, he is a Africa man. As i look closely, this guy look like i saw some where before. That Africa man ask me "do you still remember me?" ......very obviously, My answer is..."No, i don't"......hehah....sound bad......^^....He just tell me , he is Ken, Bill's friend. Then i slowly remember how i know him.........

He is my classmate Bill's friend. We met last semester during one of the evening, while Bill and I doing group project. .....what a small world.....It is just a small chat. It is just a short met up time. but the impact to other people is so great. Sometime you may forget other, but other do remember you. The way you talk, the way you behaviour, and how is the first impression of the other. People will remember. You may forget. But I believe other will remember, just as God do remember all big and small thing in our life. If not, God will not let me met this person again on the street........

BBQ by the Pool

2006-09-23T20:52:00.000+10:00

Hey friends, here's an update about the BBQ last Friday, while some people were away at the Glorious Mountain and some others were partying elsewhere...hehe! Just wanna thank all those that came and helped out in one way or the other - cooking, preparing food, cleaning, hosting, driving, cameraman, posers (for the cameraman), all who ate, all who entertained with funny and not so funny jokes, modelled (ahem!...nice jeans!) and all who helped carry stuff.....haha!

For those who missed out.....its alright....you're just missing the juicy beef, peppery fish, yummy chicken wings, fat sausages, healthy salad, Winnie's special noodles, and complimentary mooncake by the host. After BBQ, we proceeded to play games at Winnie's and guess what????? We were entertained by the losers of each round with 2 Korean songs, 1 African song, and 2 Singaporean songs in Malay. The last entertainer, serenaded us with an emotional and expressive Korean song about "snail going out to the sea" with a figurative meaning about the challenges we face as we embark on our aspiration......i think....phew!!!.... so "cheem" (....meaning deep in meaning in Hokkien).

So, ya....we had food and entertainment for the night!.....Also, a very important lesson learnt.....please make sure you lock the toilet door if you don't want somebody else to open......Haha!

Image of God

2006-09-21T08:27:00.000+10:00

IMAGE OF GOD

Quote - 'Man is made a little lower than God himself'. - Psalm 8

Scripture makes clear that the image God has made us in, is His own.

Our destiny is to be His image in this Earth.

We are extensions of His character.

God's plan is to conform us to the image of His Son, Jesus Christ.

We are made in the image of a being that created the entire universe in just six days.

He did it with the words of His mouth.

You and I create our personal universe the same way.

Mark 11:23 'if you tell a mountain to be removed and don't doubt in your heart, it will move.'

God's way............

Seem like today is a happening day. after a long work in the morning. I am worry about some personal though and other thing in my study. I talk to my friend Calvin(he is a late person). He share his view to me. Before i sleep, i pray to God. What is your way?

When i do my devotion in the morning, he answer me by using 1sam 23:1-6. God remind me how he taught David to fight His battles, His way. God helped him information about the nature and strategy of the battles. God also remind me about what made David so successful in doing God's will. It is simply Obedience. When HE say go, David go.....

At the end of the devotion, there is a question. It is ....."What is God speakinf to you about fully relying in Him for all your plans?". I feel like God is challege me with a question. Honestly, i donot wish to answer this question, but.....in my heart i already have the answer.....The answer God want, as well as i have the answer i want. It is hard to choose...........

Thomas's 15/9

2006-09-15T17:46:00.000+10:00

Thomas here~ This morning i woke up at 5:45a.m., actually fell to sleep at 4:00, thanks to the 'coffee favoured milk' George bought, all Blames goes to George~ things are just amazing during morning time, as i am those sleep at a.m. and wake up rushing for school type, so i never realize that it's so refreshing, silent n peaceful during that period of time in a day. Coz i got physics test this morning, so i tried to revise a bit of it, after a while, i just felt so bored then just click onto my fdz blog n read. n i found this:
'For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal' 2 Cor 4:17-18
For myself, this is really touching, coz just this week, a number of problems which i hv been hanging there for a long time burst out, i really cant take it anymore, my emotion controlled me which resulted in hurting my fdz.....Althought most of them hv been solved by thur, i felt regret about what i hv been doin. And yes, i just realize that too much of my life hv been driven by studies, work, relationship dealing with people, emotions, worldly issue, instead of HIM, the one who love me more than everyone do. I know that God suppose to be the center of my life, but i just let go n let go n let go unconsciously. This should be something that i feel much more regretful, but anyway i found my focus clearly which shouldnt let go again and i just wanted to remind all our bro n sis in Judah 4, The world draws our attendion far more that we can thought, somehow, Life is so imperfect without HIM!

This 2 weeks ahead looks like its gonna be really pack. With so many assignments on the line, sometimes i feel that the course co-oridators should take some time and sit down together to try to spread out our work loads. But i guess, they run on the basis of assumption. So we are the ones having to suffer.
Well, after all; we are meant to be leading a suffering life yah? hahaha....nah... i still believe that God is wanting to bless us; even through these tough times. Strong characters are the results of perservering through tough times.

Jas 1:2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. 4 Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
James 1:2-4

What a privillage it is to serve Christ with You all because i know you guys will be there praying for me right? I will be too!!!

Its nice to see so many posts, keep it going.. Its all of us J4 responsibility, YES I mean YOU, to keep this blog alive..

Just wannna add on on what Rach has said on relying our Lives on God's strength, timing and wisdom. The word DISCIPLINE comes to my mind, so instead of watching animes like I always do during breakfast, I decided to read up on what Ps Wen An describe in Timonty class as a christian role model Daniel. A man of faith, a man of discipline, a man after God's own heart. Despite the harsh surroundings, where people plotted his death and where prayer is outlawed. He chose to trust God, he persevered on... and if u read on, God blesses him tremedously. He closed the mouth of lions in the den that Daniel is placed in, grant them fire immunity in the burning furnace(reminds me of the human torch in Fantastic 4). Hey not to mention the Good complexion granted by only eating vegetables and Great wisdom and understanding that surpasses the magicians and enchanters of the ENTIRE kingdom.(Now I need that wisdom!)

Well friends, we might not go through such extreme conditions like Daniel did, but let us discern, pioritize and relying our strength on Him to do things that are pleasing in His eyes.

Cheers,
-J

As we persevere, we grow...

2006-09-11T22:33:00.000+10:00

Yay! Looks like this blog is working out for most people in our unit, continue to spread the word around and share your thoughts, what you have learnt and feelings here. I added a new column today, its the prayer request corner, feel free to add your prayer request and please leave your name if not we don't know who we are praying for. News Flash is basically latest happenings and events for those of you who didnt know. HEH:)

This weekend has been a weekend packed with activities, and when I have too many things happening all at once, I tend to fall sick which I did today. My body tends to breakdown when I am super duper tired. As I was doing connect journal today, I was reminded of relying on God's strength, TIMING and wisdom. At times, we take things into our own hands, trying to solve and handling everything by ourselves, and we feel like the whole world is falling on us and when it does, we blame God without having any train of thoughts. It's funny how we always turn to God at the end and not the beginning. So I came into conclusion that we seek God from the beginning, knowing our human stubborness it sometimes feels so difficult. But as we persevere, we grow...

Oh and I thought the song that Ps Wenan shared today was really meaningful so here is the lyrics, sometimes songs are used as a good form of reminder:)

Verse 1:
Who am I?
That the Lord of all the earth,
Would care to know my name,
Would care to feel my hurt.
Who am I?
That the bright and morning star,
Would choose to light the way,
For my ever wandering heart.

Chorus:
Not because of who I am,
But because of what you've done.
Not because of what I've done,
But because of who you are.

I am a flower quickly fading,
Here today and gone tomorrow,
A wave tossed in the ocean,(ocean)
A vapor in the wind.
Still you hear me when I'm calling,Lord,
you catch me when I'm falling,
And you've told me who I am.
I am yours.I am yours.

Verse 2:
Who am I?
That the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
And watch me rise again.
Who am I?
That the voice that calmed the sea,
Would call out through the rain,
And calm the storm in me.

Bridge:
Whom shall I fear?
Whom shall I fear?
'Cause I am yours.
I am yours.

Hey thanx Rachel!!!! good job on this blog site!

Frankly, i m really not into this blogging thingy, but i think it sounds really really fun!!! expressing your thoughts in words and if you read it again and feel that it didn't come out right; you can delete and write it again!!! so cool!

So this is someone of a diary rite? more like a electronic one rite? sharing what i feel...hmmm...interesting...so people will get to read this too!!

Sunday is always the most eventful day of the week, but now as i m writing this, it also very much marks the END of my weekend, the start of the new week is here :D

Ever thought of what attending Prayer meeting meant to you? i need to admit that at the beginning when i first started, i didn't really consider the meaning and implications of prayer meeting. But i just attended cause my shepherd asked me to. (sounds familiar rite?)
But yah, now its my turn to ask people to come along!! hahaha.
I really recognise the benefits of it now. the ministering i receive on that day is always an awesome experience. It also keeps me "on the ball" in prayer as well. Haven't been to prayer meeting? Come and try it! you must experience it!!!

okies, back to assignments for now :D, still need to carry out my duties as a student (Being the best student i can be)!

Disobedience mind , disobedience heart , disobedience action.................why?

I am having a long week. I am busy with my design project. I start to do my design group project from tuesday at my house. We met as a group on Wednesday afternoon for feedback from Lecturer. We do last minites work at night. We presentation stage 1 part2b group design project on Thurday. But it is not a good respond. we felt Sad. i feel tired. I start another group project on Friday.It is a Tech project. My friend and I feel tired. But we still went on. We met again on Sat morning for Tech project. The whole week is busy. Time seem pass fast in this week. I hardly have time for other thing. As time go by, for what i done is not a joy but a burden.

This feeling bring to Sunday as well. Sunday is a rainny day in the afternoon. Most of the thing i plan out for my friend did not run smootly. I trying to introduct CDS to my friend life. But he did not seem the important of today registation. He focus on a lot of small thing....so....we late for CDS registation. My tirness of the whole week finally come out before the CDS lesson. Seem Calvin not showing interest to get himself for a good thing, so i don ot bother as well. In my mind, just go for lesson with out register donot care about other think. I just do it because i like it, just with out think. whether he likes the CDS or not, i am no longer bother. because i am in a angry of him for over looking a big thing. What so important of the small thing? But as i calm myself down, i feel that i am wrong. It is because other maybe stumble by my action. what i do, instead overlook on the big thing(other people in church)...while i so focus on a small thing(Calvin).........

How much do you think you are worth?

How much do you think you are worth?

Is a rich man worth more than a poor man?
A stranger worth less than a friend?
Is a baby worth more than an old man?
Your beginning worth more than your end?

Is a president worth more than his assassin?
Does your value decrease with your crime?
Like when Christ took the place of Barabbas,
Would you say he was wasting his time?

Well, how much do you think you are worth, boy?
Will anyone stand up and say?
Would you say that a man is worth nothing
Until someone is willing to pay?

I suppose that you think you matter,
Well, how much do you matter to whom?
It's much easier at night when with your friends and bright lights
Than much later alone in your room.

Do you think they'll miss one in a billion
When you finish this old human race?
Does it really make much of a difference
When your friends have forgotten your face?

If you heard that your life had been valued,
That a price had been paid on the nail,
Would you ask what was traded,
How much and who paid it,
Who was he and what was his name?

If you heard that his name was called Jesus
Would you say that the price was too dear?
Held to the cross not by nails but by love,
It was you who broke his heart, not the spear!

Would you say you are worth what it cost him?
You say 'no', but the price stays the same.
If I don't make you cry, laugh it off, pass him by,
but just remember the day when you throw it away
that he paid what he thought you were worth.

How much do you think you are worth, boy?
Will anyone stand up and say?
Tell me, what are you willing to give him
In return for the price that he paid?

(Graham Kendrick, 1974)

Note: Just thought of sharing this meaningful song by this great songwriter, Graham Kendrick, I've just read from "Behind the songs". Its quite an old song, but I've not heard it. I just like the depths of it. If you don't know who he is, his other hit songs include 'The Servant King', 'We'll Walk the Land', 'Meekness and Majesty', 'Rejoice! Rejoice!', 'Shine, Jesus, Shine'.

Every Man Wants More Faith, But Few Want More Of God's Word

Romans 10:17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. (NKJV)

Luke 17:5-7 And the apostles said to the lord, "Increase our faith." So the lord said, "If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, 'be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea,' and it would obey you."(NKJV)

As believers in Jesus Christ, we are called to walk by faith and not by sight. Our obedience brings Heaven no pleasure until it is first mixed with faith. Faith is not a magical powder Heaven showers upon those who ask for it. Faith is not something that one can pray for, nor does it come because we go through a negative experience. We will only find two ways in all scripture indicating how to increase our faith. The first way is by hearing the Word of God, and the other is through the confession of our mouth. Before we can understand why that is, we must understand that faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. God's Word is full of truths that many of us have yet to experience in our lives. The more we meditate upon the truths of God's Word and confess them throughout our day, the more faith begins to rise up within our hearts. We then possess the necessary power to overcome the giants in our life. Once faith is released through our mouth and ignited by our actions, we soon see the manifestation God's promises in our lives.

Confession: Romans 10:17; Joshua 1:8"I walk by faith and not by sight. I continually incline my ear to hear Your Word, and I meditate upon it day and night. I know that Your promises will be manifest in my life."
