~2 Timothy 3:1-4
~world -> people are self-centred (well...so sry about that)
~called to serve
~got to serve God's house and our house
~Jesus died on the cross to save the lost
~through us, we show that Jesus is alive (Holy Spirit)
~2 Timothy 3:5 => Christians but are lovers of themselves (self-centred Christians)
~by being unselfish, it will develop your character
~Colossians 1:16
~whatever we do is for God (God-centred)
~you are called to be different/distinct
~simply need to DECIDE to live for Christ
~Mark 10:43-45
~need to move out of your comfort zone (comfort->discomfort)
~4 directions of servanthood
1) servanthood is about serving god
#Hebrews 12:28
#Jesus pain the price for our freedom, so serve God!
#God gave us the choice whether we want to serve
#Abraham Lincoln bought a slave and gave the slave freedom to do whatever she want to do. the slave answered that since she can go to wherever she want, she would choose to stay by him to be his slave forever.
#must have the same attitude: Jesus died on the cross for us, we must serve Him!
2) servanthood is about serving leaders
#Phillipians 12:22
#flow with the leaders placed above you
3) servanthood is about serving each other
#Gal 5:13
#Jesus is an example to us
#no BUTs, but YESs...in serving
#serving others->greater relationships->succes
4) servanthood is about serving all
#1 Corinthians 9:19
#fellowship with all kinds of people: Jesus fellowshipped with the tax collectors
#visible love opens up invisible heart!
~servanthood enables you to find meaningfulness in your life
~violin made of good wood is in good condition when used. but when the violinist decided not to use it anymore, it will decay!!!
~life without service rendered to others will decay->lose visions, dreams, destiny
~Romans 1:1, James 1:1, Peter 1:1, Jude 1:1 => "servants of Jesus Christ"
~a servant is not the same as a volunteer. a servant ALWAYS chooses to serve, do it out of commitment. a volunteer picks and chooses, ONLY serves when convenient
~1 Peter 2:16
~serving will not make ourselves a servant, but it will make you become a servant

sry god...ytd when my aunt pointed out that my parents and her are not very happy that i am active in church (as in cell groups, fellowships all those--not even ministry)...i doubted if loving you more and more every day is a mistake. thanks for those encouragement that it is worth it anw. yarh i know that serving you can never be a mistake. but i wonder why the devil so creative one. can come up with alot alot of ways to prevent me from growing closer to god. yearh devil. you have outwitted me. but my heart remains steadfast :):) and cos of that, you have lost, devil. WUAAAHAAAHAAHAA!!! ya la stupid devil. when i am ready to give up my relationship and time on god, he made use of my parents. HOW DARE HE!!!
i realised that i am loving god more and more each day. his presence is just so real in my life!today's cell group talked about servanthood. since i cant serve in a ministry in church, what i should just do is to be good to my friends to touch them :) cos visible love opens up invisible heart! :):)
ewww...i love god and i am not embarrassed to declare it XDDLabels: CHRIST, iloveyougod, iloveyouholyspirit, iloveyoujesus

yesshhh ytd hv make up cell grp. presence of god was so strong. yarh its the time to let go. he's way past me...hear that??
i am really determined to move in the spirit...move WITH the spirit. before the breakthrough last year, i was a christian...yet not a christian. well, it was kinda forced into it. my mother is a christian and my father is a buddhist. i was not given any chance to choose. i didnt really have the childish faith people often says that a kid have (at least i dont remember it). but i followed my mum to church, pray when she reminded me to. but it was different...there was no fire for god, no knowing of Him intimately. last year when he encouraged me to go to church (well...i have to thank you for that,still...), i went. but it was a totally different experience altogether. i really felt the presence of god, for the first time in my life. i am changed from then on. i have the deep desire to know god more intimately. another breakthrough came when i started going for cell group (i hope my guardian just dont see this). i got to know friends who really motivated me to grow closer to god. and now...i really want to grow spiritually. not gradual growth or negative growth, i want to experience an EXPONENTIAL and POSITIVE growth!!!
just like this :) 
and in christ i grow :)Labels: CHRIST

god i wanna help people...why people still see me as a child? see me as incapable to help???
once, i wanna be a listener. in most relationships, people choose to let me talk. they rarely shared with me. they would rather be the listener. yeah i think that i should be more mature. hehex... XD and i think that i should pray :) and god will change things...I BELIEVE :):)Labels: CHRIST

on fri, hexing pointed out to me that i should b less dependant on others. hmmm i think that i should to also. its just i dunno how to go about doing it. i also dont want to b totally independent on others. i really hate those friendships in which i feel that i cannot help.
went for service just now. pst kim sanghae came to preach. yuupps she is the wife of the world's largest church. amazed at her liveliness, tho i dun really get her. at least i got the main points ok!!
1. holy spirit guides us the power to have good relationship with others
2. holy spirit gives us heavenly wisdom
3. holy spirit gives us the power to cast out demons & diseases
4. holy spirit makes us good witness of christ
yuppss i totally agree.
studying ONLY=40%
studying VERY HARD ONLY= 60%
studying + praying= 80%
studying VERY hard + praying VERY HARD= 99.99%
:):) my personal experience tells me so. that i need christ
and christ is love :):)
