Get ready to LEVEL UP

Haggai 2:9 (New International Version)

9 ‘The glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former house,’ says the LORD Almighty. ‘And in this place I will grant peace,’ declares the LORD Almighty.”

EAST B ONE shall grow from Glory to Glory,Strength to Strength.

For greater things have yet to come
And greater things are still to be done in this LIFEGROUP
Greater things have yet to come
And greater things are still to be done here

much is received, much is expected! Its time to use our HANDS and FEETS to match the Faith that God has placed in our hearts. We need to constantly renew our minds through the WOG and keep praying for our convictions to grow stronger and stronger everyday! not forgetting, our LOVE for Jesus, it has gotta be more than tomorrow, less than yesterday!(:

SELF-DISCIPLINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No use responding, crying buckets and not doing anything about it or making effort to change our old lifestlye cus we are God’s NEW CREATION, the old has gone, the new has COME.

I’m so excited to see how God is going to move. I’m so glad God met not just my expectations, but also the expectations of my lifegroup’s members! so that, together, united as one body of Christ, we can function to our fullest potential! I’m also totally amazed by how God can really use anyone! i mean literally anyone to speak and encourage and edify(: and one of the anyone is of course ME(:haha! wanna thank God for working through me, it’s indeed a privilege.

-Gonna stand strong, stand tall cus Jesus Christ is Lord of ALL-

Praise the Lord

Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like you have loved me
Break my heart from what breaks yours
Everything I am for your kingdoms cause
As I walk from earth in to Eternity

 yeaterday’s service was awesome.

i was reminded once again about God’s heartbeat for the world.

therefore, i want to learn to have more compassion for the people out there who may be wierd, scary, abnormal people or even  the handicapped. Cus EVERYONE should have a chance to come and know JESUS!

A recent reminder that i had….

Many a times, we have gotta guard our hearts cus it’s easily deceitful and our hearts tend to go astray when we focus on the wrong things os when we feed ourhearts with the wrong things. everything starts from the heart and therefore we have to guard it well and not let Satan have a foothold of it.

Proverbs 4:23 (New International Version)

 ²³ Above all else, guard your heart,
       for it is the wellspring of life 

Anyways, God just heard me!haha

You will enjoy the new insights that Rick Warren has, with his wife now having cancer and him having ‘wealth’ from the book sales. This is an absolutely incredible short interview with Rick Warren,  ‘Purpose Driven Life ‘ author and pastor of Saddleback Church in California. 

In the interview by Paul Bradshaw with Rick Warren, Rick said:   
People ask me, What is the purpose of life?   
And I respond: In a nutshell, life is preparation for eternity. We were not made to last forever, and God wants us to be with Him in Heaven..   
One day my heart is going to stop, and that will be the end of my body– but not the end of me.   
I may live 60 to 100 years on earth, but I am going to spend trillions of years in eternity. This is the warm-up act – the dress rehearsal. God wants us to practice on earth what we will do forever in eternity..   
We were made by God and for God, and until you figure that out, life isn’t going to make sense.   
Life is a series of problems: Either you are in one now, you’re just coming out of one, or you’re getting ready to go into another one.   
The reason for this is that God is more interested in your character than your comfort; God is more interested in making your life holy than He is in making your life happy.   
We can be reasonably happy here on earth, but that’s not the goal of life. The goal is to grow in character, in Chris t likeness.   
This past year has been the greatest year of my life but also the toughest, with my wife, Kay, getting cancer.   
I used to think that life was hills and valleys – you go through a dark time, then you go to the mountaintop, back and forth. I don’t believe that anymore.   
Rather than life being hills and valleys, I believe that it’s kind of like two rails on a railroad track, and at all times you have something good and something bad in your life.   
No matter how good things are in your life, there is always something bad that needs to be worked on.   
And no matter how bad things are in your life, there is always something good you can thank God for. 
You can focus on your purposes, or you can focus on your problems:   
If you focus on your problems, you’re going into self-centeredness, which is my problem, my issues, my pain.’ But one of the easiest ways to get rid of pain is to get your focus off yourself and onto God and others.   
We discovered quickly that in spite of the prayers of hundreds of thousands of people, God was not going to heal Kay or make it easy for her- It has been very difficult for her, and yet God has strengthened her character, given her a ministry of helping other people, given her a testimony, drawn her closer to Him and to people.   
You have to learn to deal with both the good and the bad of life.   
Actually, sometimes learning to deal with the good is harder. For instance, this past year, all of a sudden, when the book sold 15 million copies, it made me instantly very wealthy.   
It also brought a lot of notoriety that I had never had to deal with before. I don’t think God gives you money or notoriety for your own ego or for you to live a life of ease. 
So I began to ask God what He wanted me to do with this money, notoriety and influence. He gave me two different passages that helped me decide what to do, II Corinthians 9 and Psalm 72.   
First, in spite of all the money coming in, we would not change our lifestyle one bit.. We made no major purchases.   
Second, about midway through last year, I stopped taking a salary from the church.   
Third, we set up foundations to fund an initiative we call The Peace Plan to plant churches, equip leaders, assist the poor, care for the sick, and educate the next generation.   
Fourth, I added up all that the church had paid me in the 24 years since I started the church, and I gave it all back. It was liberating to be able to serve God for free.   
We need to ask ourselves: Am I going to live for possessions? Popularity?   
Am I going to be driven by pressures? Guilt? Bitterness? Materialism? Or am I going to be driven by God’s purposes (for my life)?   
When I get up in the morning, I sit on the side of my bed and say, God, if I don’t get anything else done today, I want to know You more and love You better. God didn’t put me on earth just to fulfill a to-do list. He’s more interested in what I am than what I do.   
That’s why we’re called human beings, not human doings.   

Happy moments, PRAISE GOD.   
Difficult moments, SEEK GOD.   
Quiet moments, WORSHIP GOD.   
Painful moments, TRUST GOD.   
Every moment, THANK GOD..   

 

HE ARRIVED THIS MORNING, WE HAD PRAYER; SPENT SOME TIME JUST TALKING, AND HE HELD ME FOR AWHILE BECAUSE I WAS HAVING A BAD MORNING… THEN, HE WAS ON HIS WAY TO YOUR PLACE. 

Renewing my Covenant with God

today’s service was just so awesome. though projector had some problem, i thank God that iw as able to fully concentrate on what the preacher is tslking about. continuing on, was East Revival Meet in the evening. It was a life changing one, we learned about things that only we ourself can do for ourself like our Walk with God and our heart attitudes. and God spoke to me about changing my lifestyle. because to reap a different results, we cant be doing and living the same way we are. otherwise there will be no change. and my whole cg made a pact with God too! we want to walk close with Him and experience many breakthroughs and growth in our personal lives.

All Glory goes back to you, Lord

 More of you and less of me

East B1, lets GROW big time! Fellow east brothers and sisters, lets all GROW too! lets move together to where God wants to bring us to(:

Long awaited Cg

Had our long awaited cg today at Rat’s house.

ate popcorn.crapped loads and more than all these things, met God.

But it was really sad that Teh cant join us because she is still chionging for her O’s.

God used Jac to speak words of encouragement(:

IT was from the passage of Joshua 1.

Joshua 1

The LORD Commands Joshua

¹ After the death of Moses the servant of the LORD, the LORD said to Joshua son of Nun, Moses’ aide: ² “Moses my servant is dead. Now then, you and all these people, get ready to cross the Jordan River into the land I am about to give to them—to the Israelites. ³ I will give you every place where you set your foot, as I promised Moses. ⁴ Your territory will extend from the desert to Lebanon, and from the great river, the Euphrates—all the Hittite country—to the Great Sea ^[a] on the west. ⁵ No one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you.

⁶ “Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their forefathers to give them. ⁷ Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. ⁸ Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. ⁹ Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.”

and so on…

But it really encourages me a lot as well.

Its not easy when all the circumstances and thoughts comes to u, and whats more is that, you still gotta face the reality.

But with God’s assurance, this race seems easier and i can run it with much joy.

FATHER! Thank you for always been so faithful in my life, showing me how much u really really love me and how much i really matter to you(:
