Coming to a End

Yo,

Have you thought of how we would go Home? like when would tribulation is going to happen? I have been thinking of this all the time. Since i was a kid. i was and always very interested on when is God coming to take us home? When i was a kid i only use to read Revelation, Daniel, Isaiah, and of course the Gospels. But i read the most is Revelation and Daniel. Since these two books are some how connected with each other. Tribulation is so exciting and scary at the same time.

Back in the years, where i use to be a kid. i thought God will come anytime soon. Cause i saw the world being so corrupted and i thought the 666 will be here soon. i always imagine that i won't be in college or University cause the beast has come already(but it didn't happen). When 1999 happen, everyone in church was quite fearful, cause the world say that all computers are going to crash and economics going to drop like crazy. War will rage all over the world, ally and non-ally turn each other, nuclear holocaust, every disaster you can think of, thought it will happen on 1999. At the end of 1999, turning to 2000, it was just a small glitch on the computers. Every thing was fine.

Then on 2001, where the World Trade Center was crash by two planes. Every one again thought it is the end of days. Well pretty much didn't happen except for a lot of wars going on still. I guess is just the starting of tribulation. I can't wait for the world to end. I want to see Jesus for real. When i was kid i use to think, that is ok to take the mark of the beast, as long your heart belongs to God, so can help those who need food and other stuff. Cause without the mark, you can't buy or sell anything. Every thing is control with that mark on your hand and fore head.( please do Not take the Mark ok, is just a Thought, God say No, so don't do it). Imagine with me, we all Christian will be fugitive every where you go. And during this time also, i guess we still be doing outreach. I still believe that those who got the mark are still able to convert them to Christians(just a thought). So Christians let us be equip. Maybe i might want to take survival lessons on how to live in the jungle or in the mountains. I can surely say this that we will be hunted down like animals and be shot on site. If we get caught, the person will question us like 'deny that Jesus is God and receive the mark and all is forgiven, if not prepare to be die slowly' it will be the test of all believes and your faith being tested. Imagine the person with the gun on your head, ready to pull the trigger, saying those words to you, in the end What would you say? now is easy for you to say that i won't deny Christ but just imagine it, picture it, put yourself in that situation. That person has no mercy, no grace for you, he will surely pull the trigger, he will not hasted. Think about it

We can plan what ever things to escape the person, but they will snift us out like animals, not hasted to shoot us if we don't deny. Only way is to pray and continue to run for your life till Jesus comes as the Mighty Warrior for all Christians. The test of time, tribulation, end of days.

Jesus Christ told all of us to always be ready, to keep watch, He can come like a theif at night, He comes in a blink of an eye. He told all this in our only Bible. read the Gospels. Don't live in fear but Live with full of rejoicing. Cause everyday is a step closer to the coming of Christ. Till He comes, I'll be waiting faithfully.

Can't wait

Warriors for Him,

God's Plan

Hi lovely,

Well things with my applications are going according to plan. Is really smooth sailing all the way to America. Just need my mom to sign some documents and some financial documents need to be send. And hopefully i'll be going at early January. I can't tell you, how excited i am to go there to study. It is early spring and is going to be flopping super cold. Cause winter is just over by then. I can imagine meeting new people and staying there for many many years there. I'm planing to go to the many sites and place to eat there. And i get to meet real color hair like blondes, brunette, red heads, and so on. But the cool thing about my school is that, the school itself has a church inside. So i won't be missing church on sundays(i'm sure that i'll miss cbc subang)

Just outside my school is a shopping malls, train station, and is super near the airport. (i don't know how to do a snap shot of my screen, so anyway i give you the map where i'll be)

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Liberty+University,+1971+University+Blvd,+Lynchburg,+VA&sll=37.37043,-79.168167&sspn=0.1236,0.2211&ie=UTF8&ei=L6_XSIGJDozIugPnoKTiCg&view=map&attrid=

To many of you who still don't know which part in the world of America i would be in. I'm going to Virginia. It is just below New York. It is northeast of America. When i'm there, the first thing i might do is get a iphone 3G(i know this phone is overrated, so what), i know i have to sign up for at&t for two years, hopefully end of the two years, i can use Maxis again. (i promise i try to call back to Malaysia as many time, i'll get the lowest package, ok). Wow, i'm going to experiences winter, spring, summer, autumn. It will be great. i try to bring back snow ok.

Hopefully i get to play basketball for Liberty. It will be awesome. Get to travel around other states just to play basketball. But now, i must train to dunk, is the main mission. Must be a great player. Must master the jump-shot, passing, and dribble. Over there i hope that i can be involve with ministry work there too, be in like the music ministry or missions or just someone does background work for the church.( i know there are surely better people than me, but God is truly wonderful, He will always help His people). It will be a good thing if i could do the PA there in their church.

I must study well there, knowing how much my parents are going to pay. i only have one shot at this. i must get a job there too, went i can. Maybe work in the school. i believe that God will help me financially. i believe it. Better things are yet to come.

Praying,

What Joelpaul Means

You are fair, honest, and logical. You are a natural leader, and people respect you. You never give up, and you will succeed... even if it takes you a hundred tries. You are rational enough to see every part of a problem. You are great at giving other people advice. You are well rounded, with a complete perspective on life. You are solid and dependable. You are loyal, and people can count on you. At times, you can be a bit too serious. You tend to put too much pressure on yourself. You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together. You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow. You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily. Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is. You are influential and persuasive. You tend to have a lot of power over people. Generally, you use your powers for good. You excel at solving other people's problems. Occasionally, you do get a little selfish and persuade people to do things that are only in your interest. You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality. You are a very lucky person. Things just always seem to go your way. And because you're so lucky, you don't really have a lot of worries. You just hope for the best in life. You're sometimes a little guilty of being greedy. Spread your luck around a little to people who need it.

What's Your Name's Hidden Meaning?

Worlds Apart...

Hi,

Sunday, day of joy and fun and God given time. Only i wish that everyday we can have church service. Anyway, church today was great, is always a great experience. i'm beginning to see people are willing and already rising up to awesome leaders. Today, i purposely come to church slightly late. And to my great pleasure, seeing everything all well set up. There were minor hiccup here and there but every thing went smoothly. Great job guys, is one step forward for all of us.

Today sermon was simple. And Ps. Mal deliver it well. Actually is good to live simple for God, and is best not to complicate our love relationship with Jesus. Keep things simple. =) But i got a huge confession to make which is i didn't really listen much to the sermon. Cause i was busy talking to a friend that came to church today. And he wanted to be in the know in some thing. basically like mentoring him at that moment. But is good to know that he is doing fine. So after church, many of us waited for Ps Beng...opps... i mean Elder Beng to come to discuss about the Holy Spirit. And is exciting to see man people going for it. What he was talking i have already learn at Tung Ling. But i'm not saying that i'm a expert in that area but i know these stuff. Is cool to see people are wanting and willing to learn more of God, to understand Him, what He wants in this love relationship we have with Him. Cool.

So after all that, went to pin kee for lunch with Zach Siow and Daniel. During lunch Daniel realise that he left his wallet with Esther. And yesterday, he use a bit of my money, and me became slightly broke. Only having 15 bucks. Also Zach Siow only had 12 bucks. So we thought our meal is going to be like around 24 to 27 bucks. So i think all three of us end up praying to God that the lady to charge us less. And it turns out to be just 20riggit. Which i think i not bad for one lemon chicken, fish buttermilk, something buttermilk(daniel order) and two chinese tea. Not bad right?

So your hearts were calm...but when we went out, we saw the sky turn dark blue. And we all sign at each other. Cause no basketball. But all thing are possible. We still manage to play basketball at around 430pm and still had fun =). And our basketball games just got longer like playing 11points now instead of playing 7 points. i'm not complaining. just thinking why. i guess that is so few of us, so that is why we play 11points. Can't wait for day that we might play full court and playing like 35 points. Seeing everyone getting strong and better at their game. Time for me to train up my game. My blister is still floaping painful, and i'm scare that i burst my blister during basketball. But thank God for making cold water and aleo vera.

In end, i thought there was going to be a meeting at suku at what don't know time to watch the match. But it ends up with nobody going. Oh well, nothing can do about it. Try calling so many people but hardly anybody pick up their phone. stress. hehe. Other than that, i had a great dinner by myself. Order burger from Ramil. It is good malaysian food. bought it went home and add on chesse to the burger with two slices in one burger. Yummy stuff. And watch a good movie on HBO. the movie is Freedom Writers. Is real a good show and it is basic on truth events. Not going to tell you about the movie. The idea is for you to watch it went it is on or just download it. =P. Tomorrow is going to be quite busy. Have to finalize my documents for Liberty University. Really like to thank God for this chance to study overseas and to study in what i like. And hopefully that i can play in the NBA or EURO ball. i'm really excited and over joy to go there. Can't wait. I know i will be miss and i starting to miss everyone every day now, been praying for all and each of everyone of you guys to grow up to be great and awesome and always chasing after God's heart.

I know i been slacking off, trying to be in the shadows to allow you guys to shine. i have clean my shoes and ready to pass it on. And just step back and see the seed grow to Big fruitful tree. Ready to take on new roles. Awesome!!!

Dearly miss,

Life is worth riding

It Burns.

Heyo,

Today i had a rude awakening the sound of my trusty little cellphone, the sony ericsson T610, beeping away with my ring tone X-men theme song at 10.3am. Hearing a sweet voice of a aunt asking me whether i'm awake. Well pretty much a awake by my phone ringing and vibrating away. So that ask me to awake up and come to church to open the church, cause no at that time had no key to church, to help bring tables to City Harvest for Shaohen wedding. Horrible. And yes, being me i would hardly say no. So i woke up, took a quick shower and rush to church with my big powerful van.

So bring the tables to City Harvest was ok la. But to my amaze, no one from City Harvest help us to take down the tables from my van and none of them help set up the area for the food. Hmm....must be no bondservants in that church, hehe. sorry. I was really tired cause yesterday i slept really late again. So i have to put up a happy face and slowly walk away to Medan/Rock Cafe for breakfast with Zach Siow.

In the end, i guess Shaohen just couldn't remember me. But i just couldn't be careless. I just don't like people a member of the church leaving to another church cause of whatever reason. God is God. So i went they finish i quickly get all the tables and put it back in church and went straight to Pyramid to see Daniel, Esther and Carmen. It is to help Daniel to find a good looking shirt to wear for choir. Just see him on this sunday. So after buying the shirt, we went walking around to shop for people for Christmas. So we know what to buy now and hope no one else buys it for that person. Anyway, the highlight in Pyramid was when we had to walk through this place of hair standing moment to go to the digital area, where we have to walk through Asian Avenue. And we pass by inside this creepy place a shop selling so weird stuff. like shocking people with those shocking pen or lighter and so on. So me being curious of this interesting lighter in that store. So i thought i know how the fire was going to come out and it turns out the fire i thought is going to come out of the other end, ends up buring my fourth finger. it was bloodly frecking painful. I couldn't tahan and we didn't eat lunch somemore. So we rush to McD for lunch and i quickly put my finger inside my coke drink. To cool it off. It is so painful that the pain is so intense. Cannot tahan. Grrr....Now i got a blister on my finger. Hate Shit that happens.

Then somemore after Pyramid shopping going for basketball. with a injured finger to play ball is not funny. is floaping painful. i think i got a second degree burn...i check it in a medical book i have at home. So i have to put my finger in really really cold water for 10 mins. And have to put Aleo Vera on blister. I think today is some what fun day la. after basketball had a great time in murni, where our friend Sze Jiun spent dinner on us. Which is a good thing that he has done. Well also had a small talk to Sze Jiun on responsibility. Cause he left his wallet at the basketball court and i was at Zach Mok house ready to do Murni. So i and him had to go to TP to get his wallet. Anyway, i'm happy that he spent on us la. thanks Sze Jiun.

We had a talk about Pokemon, i didn't play Pokemon at all, didn't play the card or the gameboy. The only think i know is Pikachu and the Pokemon movie. So i'm going to take my left now. Get ready for sunday church.

New experiences,

Back to Fundamentals

Hey,

So today was somewhat a great day. i had a very late night sleep. i slept at 5am, you know why, so watching movies. hehe...so i woke up around 2pm today and had a weird headache. Anyway, i shower and went for lunch and watch some tv. And tv today had quite some interesting on apparently. I watch like Oprah(i know, why JOEL!) and mythbusters and some movies. But the more insideful show i watch today was mythbusters. The show was showing about whether a normal citizen could fly a aeroplane without any experiences and of course with help from the flight tower on ground control. And the answer is YES. it is plausible that we can fly planes with help from ground control. But this is very unlikely to happen cause no way that the pilot and the co-pilot end up dead or something wrong with them. if it happens also there is a Marshal on board the plane which Marshal also fly the plane. But is cool that they prove that a normal person without any experiences can fly a plane porvided there is a helping person on ground control to guide you through it.

Anyway, my day didn't end up just like that. i was preparing Word for my lifegroup today. And was thinking through what to say to them. I know that i sat down with Jay to discuss what topic to discuss on. So i pick Acts 2:40-47. Which i'm glad that i pick it. Cause we need to remember why we meet as a lifegroup every friday night at 830pm. After think a lot, i realize that it is easy to give Word. My Word or the Word of God that i got is simple, which comes down to just 5p. The 5P is Peach, Prayer, Power, Provide, Praise. and these 5P all put together as two main purpose which is edification and outreach.
Acts 2:40-41, tells us that many people wanted to follow the apostles and are hungry for more. And Peter gave it to them, why peach? i mean not that we should just blare out to people, telling them that they should receive Christ on the spot. Peach as it is a live life in life. Let our talk and action be messages of life to people around us. This peaching is like planting a seed into life around us. So let peach for God. Peaching is a form of outreach. Lets plants seeds
Acts 2:42, tell us that they were devoted to God and they pray daily. Prayer is powerful weapon forge from our God. to have marvelous communication with God to help us in your lifes. Is a form of edification. When all things are dark and evil, look upon Jesus as the source of to edify us. And prayer is also watering the seed we planted. Lets pray
Acts 2:43, tell us that when we pray, God will surely give us power. Power to use for His glory. Power to tell the world that Jesus is real. the people in the bible were see wonders and signs done by the apostles and them. Power is like the sun that is given to shine on the plant to grow to a big tree. Wonder and signs doesn't mean that God enables us to fly or walk on water or to change the weather. But power to change lifes and believe hopefully to heal too. Power which is the Holy Spirit working in us to help others around us. So Flame On!
Acts 2:44-45, tell us that they had everything in common and 45 tell us they sold everything. Which means they Provide. Provide. They had everything in common which means they teach each other, they tell each other secrets with one and other. They are transparent with one and other. They help each other. They provide whatever need, they need. To be strong as one big fortress for God. When one is down, they build each other up. Time of edifying. The seed that became a big tree, now growing fruits. Cause of the fellowship, the person mixes with. He learns to have a powerful relationship with Jesus. I'm not saying also that we must sell our stuff. No, that is God's bless upon us. For us modern time, it is offering. So lets us Provide each other with what we need for God's kingdom.
And finally Acts 2:46-47, tell us about them praising God for what they done in their lives. How that God gave them what they needed and even blessing them. We should praise Him daily, thank Him for what He has done. And i believe there will be a time that God will bless us with numbers daily to the church.
So Peach, Prayer, Power, Provide, Praise combine it and it comes out to be two items which is Edification and Outreach. Let us be gear up. Take on our cross and follow Jesus. 1 John 1:7, read it. Let us be commited to Jesus as He is already commited for us.

Sincerely,
