this is it!!!

hey everyone.. for those who are jsut checking this page out.. if you wana have a full day of praise n worship.. head out to our church..

well, i’ve heard some people saying.. erm, people are losing the very basis of worship by doing all this.. n saying its all publicity.. church, i urge you not to listen to these lies the devil as put in some peoples heart.. all music belongs to God!!! if there are musicians who insist on perfection.. its because they wana give thier all best to our God.. *if i have a talent, do i want to give the best?? * if i know how to play cool guitar solo’s.. i would love to do it in de house of God..

so, chill.. relax n enjoy the presence of God.. while he visits us when we worship him.. imagine how 7 hours of worship will be!!!!! wooohooo.. cant wait!!!

from a question from joel,

hi guys,
well, i was just hit by a question on this blog abt whether “taylor swift’s change” is a christian song..
i think by my understanding, that it can be and also can be a pop song.. or what ever you want it to be.

Alot of artist nowadays know the importance in living in our Lord Jesus Christ.. and because of thier profession, in the recording labels and companies, they are not fortunate to write worship songs like for example -planet shakers, hillsongs.. ect ect..
we must ALWAYS remember.. that everyone is put where they are by the PERFECT planning of OUR God.

So, now, as it is written, we should always give glory to God in all that we do.. hence, these artist also would want to do the same.

We’ll be abit surprised that we do have extremist in our daily church life that have the mentality that if you are in the entertainment world, you are a sinner! which is WRONG!!! yes, the argument is, “you cant be in the world and follow God. ” but then my question is, who gave you this tallent??? who allowed the opportunity to arise in your way.. who allowed you to be so famous??? -another argument may arise when they say.. “who allowed mettalica to be so famous… but that is a totally diffrent topic.. i believe all music comes from God! coz He is the creator and whatever is done with music, that person shall be held accountable for his tallents..” ok ok.. getting back to our topic..

I read a blog from the lead singer of “the fray” which has also the same kind of music like lifehouse and ect… he said, now, my profesion is a singer, i would love to do my job but that doesnt mean i cant sing about love n life’s troubles.. he gave an example of a plumber… is a plumber going to fix the plumbing in christian peoples houses only or for everyones houses..?? same goes for a singer or a band.

Hence, as we open our minds n see the bigger picture.. we wont be so blinded.. these bands like “lifehouse, the fray, switchfoot, taylor swift, carrie underwood, keith urban, rascall flatts ect.. ” are seeing the big picture.. yes they are planted in the music world, but as you can see in thier dressings, in the way the carry them selves, and the lyrics they write, they also are glorifying God..

So, the question, is it a christian song???? i’d say hmm, depends on how you wanan look at it… if i were to read those lyrics just like dat, i’d say yes it is.. is it singing about JESUS?? maybe… if you wana sing it to jesus, no problem.. im sure he’d enjoy it..

Just for your info, the song by lifehouse-everything…is also sang in churches.. so, once again, it depends on how u wana see it.

A word of encouragement to others, if people say, that song is not a c’tian song, you say.. well, up to you.. but i’d like to see it as one. and you’ll find music spicing up your life in so many ways.

SO, anyways, im realy sorry for not posting anything up for so long.. its been awhile, hv been busy with work and all.. but, no doubt, ive been checking the website regularly… replying when possible..

well, im quite hooked on the song “healer” from hillsongs. the “this is our God” album. i just find the words massively superb!! ..it goes..

Verse:
You hold my every moment
You calm my raging seas
You walk with me through fire
And heal all my disease

Bridge:
Nothing is impossible for You
Nothing is impossible for You
Nothing is impossible for You
You hold my world in Your hands

so, anyways, i was just thinking, do you know that, just by singing this song with your heart, i truely believe that God will heal you.. im serious! He is my God. i know Him. he is more than enough for me..

speaking on healing, some people have a problem when, if they pray, they expect, God will n must heal!! and when God doesnt heal or chooses to allow you to go through your problem, they backslide n give up.. expecially when a loved one is affected.. my condolences go out to those who go trough this..

but, yes, nothing is imposible, God is great, i believe You’re my healer! so.. wats the problem here!!! why isn’t my loved one healed!??!?!?!?! the answer that i believe is in those words itself..

nothing is imposible- you can get over the situation( God will never put u in a situation that you cannot handle)

God is great- yes! He is great! let God plan who He wants to bring back Home. let God decide the path of your life. this is our temporary home.. ( a song by carrie underwood.. check it out), well, God is God! He knows whats best! His ways are not our ways.

i believe Your my healer- Yes!!! He can heal. ok, now understanding that whatever circumstances we went through, is God’s plan.. we know that He can heal us.. those who are left in sorrows.. the word “heal” can also be for the broken heart..

yes!!! i know!!! but why isnt my loved one healed!! after fasting and praying… why!!!!!

i believe it is up to God… im sorry for the pain n cry you have.. cry out to God, He’ll answer you’re cry.. on why He allows things to happen. i urge everyone to not turn away from God in hard times.. but turn to Him, although you feel betrayed, He did not! He did not!!! in Him you’ll find rest!! God is peace..

so, in those words that we talked about in the above paragraphs, you can find the ANSWER.. that it is God’s world, He owns it, He Loves you n your loved one!! He is in control!! dont worry about a thing.. it is not Gods will that one should be sick!!

i cant tell you why God allows this! i really cant! if it’s your problem.. i am not God to answer.. CRY OUT TO JESUS.. He’ll answer you..

everyone.. just to highlight, this also can be used for broken relationships.. sickness.. death.. ect.. Gods word stands.. thats all we have to know..

I TRUST IN YOU.. YOU ARE MY EVERYTHING.. MY FAITH IS IN YOU. YOU KNOW MORE THAN ME!

jason..

Our relationships are precious, valuable treasures from heaven. We should handle them carefully, and instead of focusing on being right or focusing on what the other person should be doing for us, we should always focus on building bridges to each other’s hearts

Oftentimes, it’s the people we are closest to that can hurt us the most, and the enemy is always looking for a way to deliver a package of strife and division. If we are going to be all that God has called us to be, if we are going to fulfill the destiny God has for us, we can’t do it alone. Life is a group experience, and we need to recognize the value in the relationships we have. When others hurt or offend us, it is so important that we choose to focus on the long-term effects of our decisions instead of the gratification of “getting even” in the moment. Remember, disappointments are for a season, but relationships are for a lifetime.

I often hear people say that it is actions and not words that matter most. But really, I think both matter, especially when you consider that God spoke the universe into existence. His words have creative power. In the same way, we can create or destroy with our words. It is important to understand that our words—simple puffs of sound—can have a deep and permanent effect on our relationships. By choosing our words, we either choose strife or we choose love. It is that simple. Handle your words and your relationships with care because they are all that matter in eternity.

Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing (Proverbs 12:18; NIV).

This message is most trustworthy . . . so that those who have believed in (trusted in, relied on) God may be careful to apply themselves to honorable occupations and to doing good, for such things are [not only] excellent and right [in themselves], but [they are] good and profitable for the people.
— Titus 3:8

What an awesome thing it is to be good to people. The Bible says that God anointed Jesus with the Holy Spirit and with strength, ability, and power; and that He went about doing good, for God was with Him (See Acts 10:38). Jesus spent His days being good to people—all people. He helped and encouraged people everywhere He went.

We are anointed to bless people as Jesus did. God has given us the strength, ability, and power to do awesome works in His name. Do good all day—today.

When I was a child, I remember learning about the Golden Rule—do unto others as you would have them do unto you.I recently read a children’s book that put a new twist on that old saying. The premise of the story was that everyone carries an invisible bucket. It’s an emotional bucket, and when your bucket is full, you feel happy, satisfied, and encouraged. When your bucket is empty, you feel down and discouraged.

In this world there are “bucket fillers” and “bucket dippers.” A bucket filler is a person who adds to other people by encouraging them and investing in them with kind words and actions. When bucket fillers pour into others, they find that their own buckets are filled up, too. Bucket dippers, on the other hand, are those who take away from people by using harsh, critical, or negative words. They not only deplete other people’s buckets, but they also diminish the contents of their own.

God intends for us to be bucket fillers. He wants us to use our lives and resources to help people be the very best they can be. I think about Peter, one of Jesus’ disciples. Peter was impulsive; he said things he shouldn’t have, and he needed to grow in a lot of areas. In spite of Peter’s personality drawbacks, Jesus referred to him in surprisingly positive terms. He said, “Peter, you are a rock.” Peter’s very name actually meant “pebble,” and I wonder if he felt like a tiny pebble at times, especially after some of his foolish blunders. Nevertheless, Jesus reminded Peter of what he was becoming—a solid, stable rock. He spoke potential and confidence into Peter’s life, and we should follow that example in our relationships.

Today, let’s look for ways to be bucket fillers not bucket dippers. Instead of reminding people of their failures and faults; let’s see the solid rock in them and speak positively about what they are becoming. Let’s pour into others the way God has called us to.

But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called today (Hebrews 3:13, NIV).

hi guys, its been somewhile since i’ve sent something.. mainly due to work related “bussyness.. ” if that is even a word.. lol.. but yeah, just writting something up for fun.. so, last week, pastor Monica prayed for all of us, n also prayed for a new youth pastor to lead us all.. n i was very touched.. it was a great prayer meeting we had.. pastor even anointed us with oil n blessed us..

im happy to hv known most of you, n honestly, coming to this church has brought me out of the “all c’tians are perfect humans mentality.. ” lol.. but yeah, its been real intersting being here.. i just want to ask all of you guys to please suggest to me atleast what should we do abt trying to meet up for meetings..

honestly guys, i understand.. having another meeting on sunday is just not happening la.. we’ve just finish a full meeting with one hour plus of worship, n sermon and all.. n we are all tired.. the worship team is tired too.. then we have to go up, practice another song before de youth meeting starts.. no time to eat n fellowship.. honestly, how many people wants to come back upstairs after half an hour n start again with another sermon and all.. how many parents would just stay back for the sake of the youth staying for a youth meeting..??

the fact is, we’re just to tired for another meeting.. hence the turn up is not always great.. pls guys, i just want to help Noel out, what do we do?! what can we all do?! i was thinking we have a meeting on another day.. just for de youth meeting.. we’ll be more wanting, n expecting.. ice breakers aint gona be fun if the same people are gona come up with games..

so shoot at me guys.. tell me yes or no.. what do you want.. where do you want.. coz the youth doesnt belong to just a bunch of people.. its all of us!! all of you!!! we can change this guys.. we can hv RnB nights or Rock nights or wat.. it can be like a party.. dress up n come.. stuffs like that..

how to shoot at me?? just click the comment box under this comment n comment.. guys, once again, i just wana say, have a open heart, do not get angry if people were to disagree with your idea or anything like that. its a discussion.. lets chill n be youths..

When our daughter, Alexandra, was just a little baby or maybe a year old, I’d go and get her out of her crib in the morning. When she’d hear me coming, she’d get so excited that she would start jumping up and down. She’d give me a great big hug with her arms and legs and a big kiss. Why was she was so excited? What was the occasion? Was it her birthday? Were we going on vacation? Were we headed to Disneyland? No, it was simply the dawning of a new day. She was excited just to be alive and have another day to enjoy.

That’s the excitement that God has placed on the inside of every one of us. We should never forget how to celebrate each day. But so often as we get older, we allow the challenges of life to push us down and sadden our spirits. We have to stop ourselves and realize that every day is a gift from God. Once today is gone, we can never get it back. If we make the mistake of living it negative, discouraged, grumpy and sour, then that is a day that’s been wasted.

I’ve made up my mind I am not going to waste any of my days. I’m going to celebrate each day as a gift from God.

Remember, happiness is a choice. I like what Abraham Lincoln said, “Most people are as happy as they’ve decided to be.” When you wake up in the morning, you can choose what kind of day you’re going to have. You can choose to be in a good mood, or you can choose to be in a bad mood. You can choose to live this day happy, excited, and expecting God’s goodness; or you can choose to be irritable and sour and just try to make it through. The way you live your life is totally up to you. It’s not dependent on your circumstances. It’s dependent on your choices. Choose to celebrate each and every day and look for the blessings God has in store for you!
