WHEN YOU HAVE THE SPIRIT OF GOD YOU WOULD DRAW PEOPLE

27 March 2009. Kuala Lumpur- Today during my science lesson, my teacher suddenly asked "Who would always surf the internet and search for things? Can you all help me to do that ? "

I responded by asking my teacher what she wanted to search for, but she just blurted “something”. So, I continued on with my work and didn't bother to find out more. Furthermore I could see a big crowd of students surrounding her. Suddenly, my teacher said.

SEE YAN, you don’t want to help me ? "

I have always noticed that this teacher would not remember her student’s name. She normally addresses all her students as "YOU”. I was very surprised that she remembers MY NAME therefore I agreed to help her. I was totally surprised that in the midst of the crowd she called me out and wanted help only from me!

This incident remind me that what Sis. Kim Suan taught us in S.O.I.L. (School of Impacting Life) that is “When you have the Spirit of God, you will draw people to you!!

IT'S A NEW DAY

20/03/2009, Friday, 6.45am. Kuala Lumpuer - As I was waiting for bus to work, God gave me 2 songs: "It's a new day" and "Prophesy". I was mentally and physically tired as my job is very challenging. The God of peace in me gave me godly peace as I sing these two songs in my mind. God spoke to me from the lyrics. He not only make me feel happy but also make me feel afresh. Even though I still need to go back to my daily routine and responsibilities, my perspective of life has totally changed into His perspective of life. I can be His mouth, think with His mind, see with His eyes and live a life which He has destined me to live.

I CAN PREVAIL


God always tell us to love our enemies, no matter is a boy or a girl. When I was in standard 5, I’ve got a classmate of which I hate very much because he would always call me gorilla. Then after a few weeks, our class teacher decided to change our original place. My teacher just placed him, my enemy sitting beside me! Then I said to myself that this is going to be a lot of trouble for me. Then for about two months, he kept calling me gorilla. But I remembered that I’m a breakthrough believer and that I should not allow all these to intimidate me therefore I just hold my peace and refused to respond in a negative manner. Within two months, he got tired and stopped calling me names. Yes!! Breakthrough believer can always PREVAIL through every situation.

I’M GOD’S APPOINTED LEADER IN SCHOOL!

Hi there, I am Amy. If you all had been to Sunday Service on 25.01.09, Sis. Kim Suan had mentioned about a girl. She said that she gave her a Christmas card and inside she told her that she’s going to take over the school. And she PROMISED it.

I supposed that you all really want to know who “she is. Well…it’s hard to believe, but it’s actually me. Hey, who says that a small sized, 11 year-old girl can’t take over the school?
If there isn’t a girl who had done this, then lucky me, I’m the first one!

Well to let you know, I’ve already fulfilled my promised that I’ve made. After the 1st week of school, I went to the library to check that when I’m on duty. I looked high and low for my name on the duty list, but I just can’t find it. So I went to ask the “madam” of the library. She said: “Oh, you can’t find it because; you’re the head of the Friday librarian on duty group!”
I was shocked because you’ll have to be standard 6 only then you can be the head, but I’m only standard 5! Of course there’s still another girl which is also standard 5 and also the head, but at least I’m the head too.

To let you know, being an 11 year-old girl but commanding 12 year-old librarians what to do is great! But of course, I command them in a polite way. I don’t have to do anything except commanding them and replace them to do the work if they’re absent because that’s my job.
My mother was so proud of me when I told her the news.
So…here it is, I’m a leader now and you can do it too!

I'M CHANGED

My behavior before I accept Christ and now is totally different! I’m not trying to say that my behavior is perfect now but what I’m trying to say is that I’ve changed. Last time I used to be a rude boy, I responded rudely to my parents, scolded my siblings although they just did a small mistake. Sometimes, I’m worse then them but I just scold them without thinking about myself. Changes don’t have to start off perfectly, we may fail but at least we had tried and it’s a lot better than doing nothing. I’m changing now, and it is for the better!


The glory doesn’t come to me but to God and all my leaders.

THANK YOU!!

I AM HEALED!


I was having bad flu slight fever on Monday. So sick that I can only sleep. Marcus just declare to me that I will be able to go work the next day and it happen! Unfortunately my nose was still stuck with thick mucus that cause me to have difficulty in breathing. This would normally lead to sore throat and I started to have dry cough on Wednesday.


On Friday, I was exhausted. I rushed from work to The Rock, in KL for Prayer Meeting. I wanted to home because my body feels weak. During worship, I push through my physical limitation (Sore throat, stuck nose and tired body) to sing, worship and enjoy in His presence.

I was touched by the Holy Spirit. Tears fall then I feel my mucus is flowing out. I took the tissue paper and give a great hard blow. After that, my nose is totally mucus-free and my throat is healed even as I scream and shout to praise Him!! I AM HEALED!!


How GREAT is our GOD!!!!

TRUST IN HIM

Before my examination, I prayed a lot knowing that God would help me.

But I didn’t even touch my books although the day is coming closer and closer, instead I kept playing computer. During the exam, I was very nervous because I didn’t study at all. And after the exam, I realized that I got very bad results.


After my school recess, I stayed at the canteen doubting God saying that He’s bad.

Then Amy came and asked me some question, but I just scolded her like she has done something wrong.

But then during the cell group, God spoke to me. He said: “Do not doubt Him for He knows what is best for me.”

After He had told me this, I began to realize that I must do my part to study and TRUST in Him.

From that day onwards, I learned that as I do what is required of me which is to STUDY, GOD will cause all that I do to prosper in my hands.

JESUS HEALS

On 8th March 2009, I was serving as a drummer. But, when I reach church and started to pray in the pre-prayer service, I felt unwell, so I prayed to Jesus and asked for healing.

Then as usual I just started to play my drum. After a while I felt well again and I knew that I’m being healed.

I’m so happy therefore I just wanted to share this news with everyone!

JESUS HEALS


On 18.03.09, we were having a class in church. And it’s from 9.00a.m to 5.00p.m. But you will have a 10 minutes break and an hour of lunch break. And I was there.

After sitting for about 2 and a half hour, I suddenly felt that my back was very painful. I wanted to bend it or find someone to massage it because it was very painful! I tried walking to the toilet and bend it but nothing happen. So I told Jesus: “Help me Lord, I want to go back to class and concentrate!” then I walked back to my seat, sat down and the pain went away. I was able to concentrate again. I thank Jesus after that.

Truly, He is a God who heals and look after us!

GOD WILL GIVE YOU THE BEST

During one of the Youth Meetings, Sis. Kim Suan told us that God will take away all the friends which aren’t benefiting you and give you new friends which are better than the old ones. But I never believed that.

This happened to me when school reopened not too long ago. I’ve got plenty of friends which make me laugh and were always playing with me. I was very happy indeed! But not long after, my friends suddenly dumped me aside. They never wanted me to join in their clique. They turn to me only when they are going through struggles or family problem because they knew that I was very good in giving people advices and consoling them. They were bored with me. I was lonely during that period. That’s why I’ve never believed that god will give me new and better friends.

But then, the girl sitting beside me slowly became my friend. We didn’t bother each other at first, but then we started to hang out together. I felt that I really don’t need my old and bad friends anymore. I’ve got a new friend now, and a better one! She treated me as though I am her sister. We were there for each other. I like her very much!

I want to thank God and on the other side also apologize to Him because of my unbelief before. Jesus knows what’s best for you, believe and trust him!

GOD HELPS THOSE IN NEED


This month is the month for the monthly test. Although it’s a test, which isn’t recorded in our report card , but I still study and do all necessary preparation . Normally, the teacher will choose a date and inform us, but some teachers would surprise us. This happens to be my History/Sejarah teacher.

History/Sejarah is a pain in my life. As in Form 2, History is filled with all kinds of details on all the "Agreements/Perjanjian". We have to remember where, who, when, what is the effect after they sign all the agreements and the conditions of it.. This made me blur as I study it. But I tried my best to remember all the details of it.

When my teacher came in and tell us today was the test, I felt so nervous because one of my friend from another class told me the test was very difficult . Before I did my test I prayed and asked God for the wisdom to finish the test. Then I think and think and think, write and write and write . Finally I finish it . In fact, I was the first to finish and hand up my paper.

When the result came out, I score the highest among the my class . I was so surprised. I thank God for He had granted me the wisdom and the knowledge . This proofs that when we have done the necessary preparation , God is there to help us .

OBEDIENCE


Last time when I wasn’t practicing much on my guitar, God spoke to me about serving in church and asked me to practice more. I didn’t do it… Then after a few weeks, God remind me again to practice more, this time I changed my mind and decided to bey what He says. After a month or more of practice, I started joining the Sunday service practice team. The second time I join them, BROTHER Bruce suddenly ask me if I want to join them to serve tomorrow, I was surprised and yet happy as well, and I agreed. I really thank God for this wonderful opportunity that He gave me. It’s really awesome to see things fulfilled in our lives when we start following and OBEYING Him.
