Well well well. What can I say. Today I learnt one of the best things in life.
& no, it's not those type of lessons learnt from some mistake I made.
It's what Pastor How told us today about Dreaming, Thinking and Imagination.
Uh huh, when I hear the word "imagination", the first thing that comes to mind it Spongebob! Yeah, remember that episode with Patrick and the box and...
..
Nevermind.
Alright. Anyway, let me share with you this phrase:
about it. You think about it. You can imagine it.
pro-drummer?" Then at that very moment, you scrap that thought, you scrap that
dream and you throw it away.
never bother to work towards that dream or vision you had.
So yeah,
It's not your ablilities that is stopping you. It's the fact that we keep scrapping these ideas hence we never work towards them.
"Whatever you can imagine, God is able to do EXCEEDINGLY and ABUNDANTLY and ABOVE it."
So you dream big. You think big. You have huge visions for the future but you don't work towards it and lose Faith in it, God will not work on it.
But, if you only just BELIEVE and work towards it, and just have all the faith in the world, then God will give you what you see, what you imagined, but except more EXCEEDINGLY, ABUNDANTLY and HIGHER that what you had initially saw.
Let me relate to you another story Pastor How preached to us today: (this is a true story mind you)200 years ago, there was this priest. He had a meeting with some big-shots like
the governor and president of some big company or something like that.
So
anyway this priest was telling the big-shots about the "end of the
world".
He explained himself by saying that "everything in this world is
already
created and made. Nothing left is to be discovered."
Mind you
this was 200
years back.
So anyway one of the big-shots argued back:
"What if 50 years
down the road someone enables Man to fly?"
The priest
replied: "If God
wanted Man to fly, we would have wings on our backs". The
priest got pretty
upset and argued that Man can never fly.
This
priest's name was Wright.
& at home, his 2 sons, the Wright brothers were
happily playing with each
other.
Little did he know that 30 years down
the road, Man first took flight
at Kitty Hawk.
The priest was right about one thing: that Man was not
born equipped to fly. HOWEVER, they were born equipped to be able to DREAM,
IMAGINE and THINK.
The Wright brother's dream enabled the world to be able
to move rapidly across the skies.
So yeah, the THOUGHTS, THE DREAMS AND THE VISISONS you have didn't just come into your head for no apparent reason, it was there cause God planted them there. He wants you to see what you are capable of and he wants you to work towards it.
But most of us just scrap the idea. We throw away these "seeds" He has put into our minds.
So next time someone tells you to "stop dreaming" cause you will never be able to "reach that dream" or when someone says "dream on", you can tell them to do the same, cause you know if you have this vision in you, and you work towards it, it WILL happen.

That's the colour of my life in the past. Black and White. Life's totally meaningless and boring to me. Life to me, is just time that is given to me to play computer games or soccer. I never really know any purpose in my life cause that had never crossed my mind before.
My concept about life is play - - - > work - - - > die.
That is why i never treated my life seriously before, everyday wake up 1st thing i will do is probably on my computer. Haha. Man, that sounds boring ! Most people will probably ask me to get a life. Well i sure heed their advice. And on Christmas Eve, i went to a place that makes me feel like home. A place where the presence of my Heavenly Father dwells.
And this place is called The Heart of God Church !
This is the point in my life that make a 360 degree change ! I was often seen scolding vulgarities at my friends for no reason. I will often flare up at the slightest thing. That includes losing a game. Many people will often see me online during holidays 24hr without fail. Cause my life is all about staying at home and rot.
When I first stepped into HoGC, the friendliness of people just makes me feel happy, all my troubles seemed to disappear the moment i step into the House of God. During service, the presence of God is very strong. I could feel the peace in my heart. And i could hear God talking to me, telling me that my purpose in life isn't all about gaming. He got a purpose for me in my life ! Many of you might not believe, but i'm sure you will feel it if you come for our service.
So now, its DIFFERENT!
Now, my life is filled with colours, and definitely more than just black and white. I stopped using vulgarities, i tried controlling my temper. And many more. Now the Melson you see is the makeover Melson, the past worldly Melson is gone. God definitely moved in my life and will continue to do so. God will mould me into a person with a better character, better lifestyle and better TEMPER.
Only God is capable of such miracles as He's our heavenly Father.

I AM BACK!
Muahaha. After 3 weeks of torture, I was finally back in church yesterday! Just a short 3 weeks yet it seemed so very very long. When I stepped out of that lift into church I could just feel that familiar energy surging through me all over again. That same presence of faith, hope and love... unmistakenable, like it was the first time I stepped in. I felt like a fish back in water. Those familiar faces, missed them so much! The whole atmosphere was like WHAM! into my spirit.
I felt really loved when a few people asked what happened to me. To think that church has so many people and they actually noticed my absence! Wow. This is really family. I'm never gonna get measles ever again! haha.
Thinking about yesterday, Pastor's sermon really opened my eyes to see things at a deeper level. I would never have thought that the huge and powerful Hulk that my cousin had always used to trash me in Marvel Capcom actually leads such a sad life. From the doctor to Hulk, then back to the doctor again - from explosions to condemnations and the cycle repeats again.. he was totally out of self-control of his own life. And it's sad, because he's alone when he cries out of condemnation. It's sad, because he has been so numbed that he needed to inflict pain on himself to feel alive again. I guess there's many many people out there who are like this...
They cut themselves with penknives, some with acid words like "I am ugly" or "I am stupid". It's sad, because they're not dead, yet not alive either. They look fine and alive on the outside but are actually dead on the inside; not living life but only existing... It's sad, because they don't love life, not even themselves.
Behind that strong front there was actually such a sad story, and like Pastor How said before, behind every face he sees there is always a story to tell. Everyone has a story, a story of their own. And at the climax of their story, I wonder what will happen. For the Hulk we read about, his saviour came, crossed the sea and passed all obstacles just to meet him. And when Hulk saw him, he ran to his saviour and worshipped him. From then on, he was free from out-of-controlness and condemnation and lonliness.
It only took one right decision for Hulk to turn his life over for the better, which was to run to his saviour, Jesus Christ, and worship him - that is also what will take you out of whatever mess you have in your life - as long as you believe. (:

I was a person who occasionally swears and gossiped about others. These actions were inspired by the emptiness and loneliness that was enthroned within my heart. I loved to mock others and jeer about their dismay and misfortune. I knew these were appropriate but I still continued .I tried to be a better person as I sought for security, happiness and peace but the efforts were in vain. As I sought for all these, curiosity murderered me . As I was plunged into the world of pornography , that was the moment I regretted the most in my life. It was an addiction that could not cease . I struggled every day trying not to touch these stuff but in the end I fell victim to my sinful nature. Life was an everyday battle for me. Listening to punk rock band Good charlottes hit single We Believe , really struck me hard . The lyrics made me searched for a new and unknown power. As I ventured deeper and deeper, searching for an new purpose in life. I found it in one of the churchs but i backslided. Life took a turn when I met this bunch of people, whose hearts burned relentlessly for the call of God. There was this person , who was one of them who told me these . Every time u have sinned against him , run to him not away from him . These astonishing words were the courage and confidence that brought me where I am now . Eternal gratitude for that person who told me these few words. Although I had backslided , he was the angel that lend me his hands when I was trapped in the fiery chasms of hell. His name is After attending church , I felt a peace and joy in my life . As I struggled with the sins of the flesh , I experienced his miracles as I prayed solemnly. My life indeed changed for the better . Now the addiction slowly fades away as everyday I gain renewed faith from my father. Life had a whole new meaning with him. Everything I do , I do for the sole purpose which is for the Lord. Glory to the almighty father and savior who sent his son, Jesus to die for our sins . After embracing Christ , I understood his love and the purpose of life. John 14:6 Jesus said to him I am the way , the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me". For those who had read my testimony , I challenge you to come to church. God blesses. There's a woman crying out tonight From: Sx
From an adolescent age of 6, I used to believe I was a Buddhist. From the mouths of my parents, they claim I was a Buddhist even though visiting the temple was not a frequent practice. I had doubts then but being in a Buddhist school, life revolves around Buddhism. I still vividly remembered that I had lessons of the Buddha when I was in primary 2. In school, we had mighty figures and statues of the Buddha placed at various spots in the school. Mainly, the school hall, classroom and corridors. Life before acknowledging Christ was indeed bleak. Pondering about the dreary future that loomed ahead of me, I saw only darkness. Day by day I indulged myself to the pleasures of computer games; life was so monotonous, some days I wondered...
Was my life just about studying and playing? During the school holidays, seconds ticked by agonizingly slow, the spiritless routine of play and sleep was the only thing that I could bring myself to do. Being rather sluggish, I rejected several invitations of moving out of my house. This phenomenon was indeed NO LIFE.
Her world has changed
She asks God why
Her only son has died
And now her daughter cries
She can't sleep at night
Downtown
Another day for all the suits and ties
Another war to fight
There's no regard for life
How do they sleep at night
How can we make things right?
Just wanna make this right
We believe
We believe
We believe
We believe
We believe
We believe
In this love
We are all the same
Human in all our ways and all of pain
(So let it be)
There's a love that could fall down like rain
(Let us see)
Let forgiveness wash away the pain
(What we need)
And no one really knows what they are searching for
(We believe)
This world is crying for so much more
We believe
We believe
We believe
We believe
We believe
We believe
In this love
We believe
We believe
We believe
We believe
We believe
In this love
So this world
Is too much
For you to take
Just lay it down and follow me
I'll be everything you need
In every way
We believe
We believe
We believe
We believe
We believe
We believe
In this love
(In this love)
We believe
(In this love)
We believe
(In this love)
We believe
(In this love)

Today's CG was great yet convicting. For sure, this day onwards we will never be the same.
Roy is right. If we want to change the world, the change has to start from ourselves.
We have to change in our character before we ever can say we want to change others.
The real HYPOCRITE will try to change others, yet he himself doesn't.
A revival is happening in the Secondary Ones.
And like Roy said, they really look up to us.
Because this revival was started by us. Without us, there wouldn't be them.
However, all of us agree, it's hard to let them look up to all of us now...
Insecurity, pride, character issues and attitude problems.
Disagreements, disunity, ungodliness and... just nonsense.
Things that seem small and things that don't seem to matter for a while.
Things that, however, the devil can use to hold us down.
All these things were never visible in any of the schools having major revivals.
Infiltrate all our ministries we have and tell me one in church that people have problems as such.
NONE.
So what's with us?
Isn't it weird?
That our culture isn't flowing with the church we are in.
That our thoughts aren't aligning with our pastors' and leaders'
Isn't it strange that things that are happening contradict the Word of God?
This godly and pure culture in Heart of God church has been built strongly by our pastors.
For years.
LET US NOT DESTROY IT!
WON'T THAT BE SO UNFAIR!?
Guys, can we all be Christians who are bold, influential and at the same time, GODLY?
Can we be people who will stand for what's right, and fight for what's right?
Can we serve not out of something in return nor the title or position, but out of reaction to God's love?
Can we be secure in who we are, and not in what we do?
Let's not be so selfish and divide the church.
We are here to add and to multiply the church, bring the Gospel to the world, to our school!
Not to fight a war with each other and be disunited just for small squabbles.
Imagine when pastors and us leaders go to Heaven, and God speaks to us:
1st Outcome
God: What happened to TK? How have you helped them and why are they like that?
Us: God, we failed to bring revival to the school for this second batch of youths.
God: Why not?
Us: Father, because they called us hypocrites for trying to guide and correct their character and attitudes.
God: What else did they do?
Us: LORD, They influenced the rest to follow their thoughts, and thus divided the church and led them astray and backslided, and now they didn't make it here at all... Some stayed, but never grew and remained unfruitful in church... Many non-believers hardened their hearts after knowing what has been happening between the TK people and thus they didn't want to follow us.
I tremble at such an outcome.
Will that be what will happen when Jesus returns to take His throne?
YOU DECIDE.
How do you think God feels about all these that are happening?
Any of you asked Him before?
I have, and definitely, God is disappointed.
But, one thing for sure. God still believes in us.
He is always faithful.
And He holds our future in His hands...
THE FUTURE OF THE TK REVIVAL!
So many problems may be happening now, but just like Roy said, FAITH is conceiving and believing!
Job, out of all his troubles and curses that he got, still remained faithful to God.
Throughout all these problems happening in the team, LET'S STAY FAITHFUL TO GOD!!!
Now picture this:
2nd Outcome
God: Wow! How have you helped the TK people?
Us: Oh Lord, we've raised up leaders and disciples, and many great men and women of God who love You and chase after Your heart!
God: Well done! What about the disputes and the corrupted culture?
Us: It was cleared... On this day, 2nd of November 2006, Roy challenged them and they decided to change their character and walk towards God and the direction of the pastors' and leaders of this church, and made a decision to stand for the truth and for our church! People who have offended us, repented and apologised to us, and decided eventually to follow us!
God: Well done! Where are they?
And when we step aside, we show the millions who were from the revived school.
What would God say?
Well done, my good and faithful servants.
This is heavy on hearts of pastors and the leaders.
Your insecure, proud, rebellious and insubmissive attitude is the greatest barrier of the revival.
So what if we grow to 40, if all of us remain this way?
Which outcome do you want it to be?
THE DECISION IS YOURS.
Choose wisely.
I pray God convict your hearts as you read this entry.
Against deceitfulness in the spirit.
I COMMAND YOU IN THE NAME OF JESUS!
DEPART! BEGONE! GET OUT!
