Moving On... to EXPO
Monday, December 12, 2005
it's really cool man~! my church is going to EXPO~! haha.. so happy about this.. last saturday was the first service.. haha..
i reached there at 3 plus.. when i reach.. there are already many people queueing up outside hall 8. it's so crowded.. waited outside the hall for an hour i think..
then when we're waiting outside the hall.. i saw the sky turning dark. at first i was very discouraged. i don't want rain during service.. cause i heard from pastor that if it rains, the rain will fall on the roof. and i create alot of noises and will disturb the service..
but i don't believe that it'll rain during service. i declared to my CG members that, ' hey, the rain will not come.. hmm.. now still got 30 mins to service.. can only rain till that time.. hee..'
i believe that God always answer prayers.. hee..
true enough, rain stopped before service starts... hooray~!
anyway.. before service, we booked 2 rows for our CG members. alot of them are late.. really very difficult to book seats.. and many problems came and sometimes find that it's so difficult to stay my cool..
and we're sitting right in front, facing the stage.. so blessed to have this kind of seats. then someone brought her girl friend here.. but shortly after they settled down, they say they need to leave early.. my first reaction in my mind was,'hello?? we're sitting right in the middle of the hall?? you want to leave half way??'
after that someone's girlfriend say she need to go for piano lessons. fine.. talked to her for about 15 mins.. still the same result.. getting frustrated. don't know what to do. she's kinda rude, honestly... really .. when i talked to both of them, telling them don't go off half way, if possible, stay throughout the service.. she insisted she need to leave early. then when i stood there didn't say anything.. thinking of what to do.. then she will 'whisper' to his boyfriend and say,' see, she couldn't find any solutions le.. ' she talked so loud.. it's very rude loh..
anyway... after that they sat at the back..near the entrance of the hall..
then after that.. people start coming in.. and the service started..
the praise and worship was good man! i could really sense the presence of God so tangible in that place.. and never been done before that we could have long worship like that in a normal church service.. i love it man..
Rev Kong shared a really powerful message.. he talked about our heart, besides the brain, our heart can feel, can think and also can remember things.. our heart is the motivating factor of your life.
one example would be when you are shocked, your heart will feel the impact, and not your brain.. anyway.. the main part of the sermon he talked about emotions.. he talked mainly on one of the emotion - fear.
1. Fear is the first emotion experienced by man after he sinned
2. Fear is the chief emotion used by Satan to rob you of the potential inside of you
3. Fear paralyses you
4. Fear makes it easy to blame others for your own failures
Rev Kong mentioned that in 1 John 4:16-19.. that your love will never be perfect when you continue to be fearful.
And he said that there was a time when his son, Dayan had rashes. Dayan could not talk, he's feeling terrible.. and also he sufferes from jet lag very frequently. for a young boy like him, he's confused. and he cried.. and his father Rev Kong, saw him, he will feel so sad in his heart and he hugged him.. and Dayan stopped crying.. although he still felt terrible, but his father's love comforted him..
then Rev Kong mentioned that everytime when we cry, or feeling life's difficult, there's always God to be with you.. He'll always extend His arm over your life, to comfort you and to protect you.. whatever fears you have, cast it upon to Him.. He'll give you the breakthrough that you need..
during the service.. i was ministered.. the presence of God was so strong..could really felt the fear that i had within me being released.. after the service, really had a peace came within me.. a special peace that i never had before.. have a special courage to take on anyone and anything.. i know that everything that i do, God will be there for me.. :)
