Another great song by Hillsong United, Hosanna. Enjoy :)

Verse 1
I see the king of glory
Coming down the clouds with fire
The whole earth shakes, the whole earth shakes
I see his love and mercy
Washing over all our sin
The people sing, the people sing

Chorus
Hosanna, hosanna
Hosanna in the highest

Verse 2
I see a generation
Rising up to take the place
With selfless faith, with selfless faith
I see a new revival
Staring as we pray and seek
We're on our knees, we're on our knees

Bridge
Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like you have loved me
Break my heart for what is yours
Everything I am for your kingdom's cause
As I walk from earth into eternity

Hosanna

Hey guys! Wow.. be ready for a long entry !

Back track a little. . .

Just wanna say I am truly blessed by what a great and positive man Nick Vujicic is. He used his disability as an opportunity to give glory to God! The more we should be positive and a mighty conqueror having placed our joy in our salvation. So guys whatever you are going through, always be positive and be strong, don't give allowance for doubts and thoughts of impossibilities to get you down.

God is a sovereign God.
Rest in His joy and peace.
Trust in His faithfulness.
BURY THE CROSS AND CARRY ON!

-

As we are all getting busy each day with our commitments and personal agendas, don't forget to seek God daily. Encounters will only come when you seek after it. Bible says seek and you will find.

I feel so blessed so blessed so blessed by the word this weekend to prepare us to give for Arise & Build. Now is really a good time to start saving up and give your best with guidance and wisdom on your managing your fianances from the Lord. I say NOW!

Build an altar that will cost you something.
Maybe for some of us, there will be tears rolling down, on bended knees for open doors as we give, or some might have endless mucus (eew!) ha ha kidding, whatever it takes, build an altar before God which cost you something.

For me personally, I am not a good manager of my finances. The previous Arise & Build really trained me and moulded me to be wiser with my finances. At times I failed, but God kept supplying as I kept giving. The amount might not be great in many's eyes, but my harvest is and continues to be great. Greater than I gave.

God is really faithful and good, all glory to my King :)

Face the brand new week with positive confession of His promises. His word will never fail. Claim the promises and make them come to past in your own life. I am looking forward to the brand new week though its gonna be OT and OT and OT every night to hit another $14M sales target, doing legwork is never easy. But God's grace is sufficient and it comes in ABUNDANCE.

So everyone lets JIAYOU okay!
For the O levels students , the Sec students, the A levels student, the Uni, the Poly and the YOUNG working adults + everyone else la (ha ha!)

Trust that God is gonna make provision, give you strength to overcome the impossibles (I-M-POSSIBLE!), and most importantly confidence in God that He will carry you through :D

Agape Love From God.

Hey Yaohui, it's so good to see you visiting our cellgroup blog. Hahaz. If you wish, approach Peggie, our wonderful blog administrator, for access so you can post on the blog also. Please bu yao ke qi.

'Unite our hearts to fear Your name' actually came from Psalms 86 : 11. It says ' Unite my heart to fear Your name.' I believe it means every part of the heart coming under the authority of God. And personally I think that every part of the heart is equivalent to every part of one's life that means something to one's heart. So it kinda means that whatever that is dear to us, our relationships, our finances, our interests etc, we submit them to God. And in that sense, we can also say that we cause our whole heart to be focused on God and His kingdom. Hahaz. I believe Bingren will be able to explain it much more better than me bah.

One interesting fact. I did a bible search on G4C just now to find this verse. And I realise that the word 'Unite' appears in the whole bible only ONCE. So can I say of all the things we wish to see unity in, the first and the most important thing we have to 'unite' is the heart? Hahaz. Even now I'm reminded of a verse Bingren shared in CG today. Revelations 3 : 15-16 'I know your works, that you are neither cold or hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you our of My mouth.' So indeed let's not be lukewarm (and of course not cold) towards God. But unite our hearts to fear the Lord.

Cheers!

I'm pleased to post a new song that I've written. This song was written yesterday night and the whole song, including the chords, took me about 10 minutes. Hahaz. Praise God! It's really a simple and straightforward praise song but what was so special (and surprising) about it was that it came really smoothly to me. I didn't have to crack my head to write it out and I am so very grateful to God for it.

Verse
We shout to the Lord
We shout out His praise
We shout to glorify Your name

We shout with a voice
A voice that will break
The ropes that the devil's binding us with

Chorus
And now we are free
Freed by Your love
A love that brought the Son to earth

The whole heavens shake
When the veil was torn apart
Come God, as we lift up our hearts

Verse
Stir up our hearts
Stir it up we pray
Stir it up with fire and with grace

Keep our hands pure
Let them be full of faith
Unite our hearts to fear Your name

Chorus

Have a blessed week ahead. Remember to be sons and daughters of encouragement.

Nick Vujicic- Life without Limbs


Nick Vujicic - Life without limbs

Living Inspiration .........read pls...
My name is Nick Vujicic and I give God the Glory for how He has used my testimony to touch thousands of hearts around the world! I was born without limbs and doctors have no medical explanation for this birth "defect". As you can imagine, I was faced with many challenges and obstacles.
" Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds."




....To count our hurt, pain and struggle as nothing but pure joy? As my parents were Christians, and my Dad even a Pastor of our church, they knew that verse very well. However, on the morning of the 4th of December 1982 in Melbourne (Australia), the last two words on the minds of my parents was "Praise God!". Their firstborn son had been born without limbs! There were no warnings or time to prepare themselves for it. The doctors were shocked and had no answers at all! There is still no medical reason why this had happened and Nick now has a brother and sister who were born just like any other baby.

The whole church mourned over my birth and my parents were absolutely devastated. Everyone asked, "if God is a God of Love, then why would God let something this bad happen to not just anyone, but dedicated Christians?" My Dad thought I wouldn't survive for very long, but tests proved that I was a healthy baby boy just with a few limbs missing.

Understandably, my parents had strong concern and evident fears of what kind of life I'd be able to lead. God provided them strength, wisdom and courage through those early years and soon after that I was old enough to go to school.

The law in Australia didn't allow me to be integrated into a main-stream school because of my physical disability. God did miracles and gave my mom the strength to fight for the law to be changed. I was one of the first disabled students to be integrated into a main-stream school.

I liked going to school, and just try to live life like everyone else, but it was in my early years of school where I encountered uncomfortable times of feeling rejected, weird and bullied because of my physical difference. It was very hard for me to get used to, but with the support of my parents, I started to develop attitudes and values which helped me overcome these challenging times. I knew that I was different but on the inside I was just like everyone else. There were many times when I felt so low that I wouldn't go to school just so I didn't have to face all the negative attention. I was encouraged by my parents to ignore them and to try start making friends by just talking with some kids. Soon the students realized that I was just like them, and starting there God kept on blessing me with new friends.

There were times when I felt depressed and angry because I couldn't change the way I was, or blame anyone for that matter. I went to Sunday School and learnt that God loves us all and that He cares for you. I understood love to a point as a child, but I didn't understand that if God loved me why did He make me like this? Is it because I did something wrong? I thought I must have because out of all the kids at school, I'm the only weird one. I felt like I was a burden to those around me and the sooner I go, the better it'd be for everyone. I wanted to end my pain and end my life at a young age, but I am thankful once again, for my parents and family who were always there to comfort me and give me strength.

Due to my emotional struggles I had experienced with bullying, self esteem and loneliness, God has implanted a passion of sharing my story and experiences to help others cope with whatever challenge they have in their life and let God turn it into a blessing. To encourage and inspire others to live to their fullest potential and not let anything get in the way of accomplishing their hopes and dreams.

One of the first lessons that I have learnt was not to take things for granted.

"And we know that in all things God works for the best for those who love Him.
That verse spoke to my heart and convicted me to the point where that I know that there is no such thing as luck, chance or coincidence that these "bad" things happen in our life.
I had complete peace knowing that God won't let anything happen to us in our life unless He has a good purpose for it all. I completely gave my life to Christ at the age of fifteen after reading John 9. Jesus said that the reason the man was born blind was "so that the works of God may be revealed through Him." I truly believed that God would heal me so I could be a great testimony of His Awesome Power. Later on I was given the wisdom to understand that if we pray for something, if it's God's will, it'll happen in His time. If it's not God's will for it to happen, then I know that He has something better.

I now see that Glory revealed as He is using me just the way I am and in ways others can't be used.
I am now twenty-one years old and have completed a Bachelor of Commerce majoring in Financial Planning and Accounting. I am also a motivational speaker and love to go out and share my story and testimony wherever opportunities become available. I have developed talks to relate to and encourage students through topics that challenge today's teenagers. I am also a speaker in the corporate sector.








I have a passion for reaching out to youth and keep myself available for whatever God wants me to do, and wherever He leads, I follow.

I have many dreams and goals that I have set to achieve in my life. I want to become the best witness I can be of God's Love and Hope, to become an international inspirational speaker and be used as a vessel in both Christian and non-Christian venues. I want to become financially independent by the age of 25, through real estate investments, to modify a car for me to drive and to be interviewed and share my story on the "Oprah Winfrey Show"! Writing several best-selling books has been one of my dreams and I hope to finish writing my first by the end of the year. It will be called "No Arms, No Legs, No Worries!"





I believe that if you have the desire and passion to do something, and if it's God's will, you will achieve it in good time. As humans, we continually put limits on ourselves for no reason at all! What's worse is putting limits on God who can do all things. We put God in a "box". The awesome thing about the Power of God, is that if we want to do something for God, instead of focusing on our capability, concentrate on our availability for we know that it is God through us and we can't do anything without Him. Once we make ourselves available for God's work, guess whose capabilities we rely on? God's!

These bones were better off as dust
Wretched they were
You could have just burned them in the fire
But a light You shone

My face it was covered in shame
Guilt was untold
Now my God You ignite me with a flame
Redeemed my soul

You have saved me
With You everything's alright
Jesus my King
With You everything's alright

I walk through the valley of death
But it's not death I fear
Though I could be the only one left
Of this I'm sure

You have saved me
With You everything's alright
Jesus my King
With You everything's alright

You are the Light
You are the Light
That ignite my bones
You are the Light
