Thanks for all the care and concern. Received quite a number of smses from people who are concerned about my well-being. Just wanna say I love you all very much! :)
Feeling a lit better now, got up of bed and start to blog. (since I told you peeps I will share some of my tots on the blog, here it goes!) Been thinking a lot about the CG, quite burden about certain issues, esp the coming arise and build.
Most of you are very young in the Lord, many of whom has not participate in such an event before (or know very little about it) But its very important that you are not ignorant of the things of God and not go through arise and build as if its just a fund-raising programme for the church. It's not about building buildings, its always about building lives. Building YOUR life and my life.
Having said much, its time to put aside our "hype", and get into serious business with God. We are going to pray like never before, fast like never before, read the bible, serve in ministry, reach out and bring friends like never before. Most of you are going to help me more and more in the CG, many of you will be raise up to be leaders in the church, all of you are going to be extremely successful in your school and workplace. In short, we are all going to be the head and not the tail Amen?
But you know rising up for God also means one more thing... more advarsaries in your life, more challenges, so you cannot afford to take things easy. There is absolutely no room for spiritual laziness and complacency. If you don't get on with the flow (of God), you will bow out in defeat. When I formally took over this group (ard Jan), the vision I have for this CG never change til now - that not only will we grow in quantity, we will grow in quality, grow in strength and glory. Not just one or two members, but I expect much from everyone. So...
Time to put aside childish things, time to be serious for God. W300, are you with me?

Felix's Testimony
Hi everyone...just want to shared with you all how I got saved in church. Some of you guys have heard of this testimony while the others haven't. Anyway, it's a great honor for me to share what God has done for me when I first got saved in church. So, hope you will take some time to read through it and be blessed by it.
I remembered I was being pestered to church by a certain wonderful sister called Samantha. Upon arriving at the church, I was immediately amazed by the church building, the church auditorium, the svc and the members...then came the altar call, when Pstor Phil had asked for those people who had put up their hands to come down to the altar, I was felt suspicious and quite reluctant to do so coz in my heart I don't want to become a Christian and the only reason I put up my hand is because I admit I am not perfect and have sins in me(I know nuts about altar call or anything to do with Christianity at that time)...anyway, I was easily persuaded by Samantha to come down to the altar call(at that time I still don’t know the true meaning of responding to the altar call) and it was until I went up from the altar call then I knew that I have made a decision to accept Christ to be my Lord and savior…so there I am, saved for my first time in church but without anyway emotions, commitment and faith in my salvation but rather someone who is quite reluctant and downhearted about it…but I decided to give God a chance and this church a chance to prove to me why all these people can be so fervent about their religion...
For next three weeks or so, whenever anyone ask me how I was being saved in church, I would answered them that I was saved by luck and chance, that my salvation is really a funny one and it cant be any lamer...I mean, where got people get saved so unknowingly and unwillingly as me??...but little do I know, God has already shown His grace and mercy towards me on that day I was saved..
One night, after a makeup cell, I was home getting ready to sleep...lying on my bed, my mind was going through all the things that happened on the day itself…my mind then came up a recapped of what happen after the makeup cell where I was waiting for a bus with a sister call Hengling. We had a brief conversation regarding my salvation..
Hengling: "Felix, tell me how you get saved in church lei."
Me: "Oh, aiya... it was by luck one la... "
Then all a sudden, a voice spoke in my mind "Hey Felix, you are not saved by chance" I was stunned and my eyes were wide opened now, I knew it was not my voice and I was afraid (I mean who wont?? Don’t tell me you are not afraid when you heard a voice and there is no one around…) but all the fears were quickly swept away now as a strong and thick wave of love started to descend upon my body and in my mind, a vision birth forth…it was the day of my salvation, I can see God’s Spirit hovering across the sanctuary looking for souls, and He saw me, and He knew me, that why He purposed in His heart to let me got saved unknowingly so I may have the chance to know Him and experience His great love towards me...
Tears started to stream down my cheeks as I caught hold of this truth from the vision God had revealed to me…and in the awesome presence of His love, grace and majesty, what else can I do than to rejoice, dance and kneel before my great King.
Haha...sometimes I wonder is it because I am been so faithless in my salvation even after so many people have told me it was by God will I am saved that God has to come down personally to show correct me…so my friends, I don’t want you to make the same mistakes as I do, I just want to assured you all that your salvations are no fake!! No matter how you see your salvation as "unspecial" or you feel unworthy that God would actually want to save you (like what I felt when I first got saved), know that you are very significant to God. :)
