wow! today's zone F service was the best ever. I was totally blown away. Pst Lia is the person when it comes to generations. 

Even after 10 years of listening to Pst Lia, today, it made me feel like a 12 years old boy once again, listening and learning every bit that she preached and just catching her heart. For those people who say that zone F is too childish, I just feel that you are too complicated. 

If we are still below 20 and we cant hang out with a 13 year old because they are too childish, then you ain't seen the 13 years old in the zone because they are one of the most mature people I have met in my life. They are logical, not emotional and very very spiritual.

One came to tell me about his strongholds and how he wants to change. Some came to share with me about their revelations that had in God while others told me about the revival they want to bring to their class. 

Pst Lia says..."I just love to hang out with young people. Adults come ask me to go in to build their ministry but they do not know that there is an army that is about to be build in the youth! I thank God that never was there a thought in me that I was sowing into something that was unprofitable, but in fact the youths were the most fun to hang out with and they were the most exciting people. I enjoyed every moment of it and never regretted doing the things I did." 

I remember the first idea of zone F came when I was in BMT about 3 years ago. stuck in camp, Pst Lia called my hp to tell me about an idea of going back to the next generation. At that time, I had to be in camp everyday and I did not have an 8-5 posting. Pst Lia shared with me about starting a new zone of young people and it was going to be called Zone F. I prayed to God about this as I knew I could lead my generation in D zone but I was never sure about leading the next generation. I felt i was the worse when it came to relating to younger people because i was a very impatient man.  I was once a teenager and received lots of discipleship but I was never a discipler to a teenager. I had little knowledge about what a 13 year old needed as when I was 13 years old, all i remember was I spent everyday trying to sort my life out that till today I cant remember much about what I went through. All i knew was Pst Lia believed in us and told us to do the same thing that she did with us 10 years ago. With faith we went down to the nxt generation! 

The past 3 years was a whole lot of ups and downs, learnings abt young people, time spent loving and hating even. There were times we just didnt understand why things happened but there were times where we just really celebrated! There were times we felt like giving up, there were times where we felt high up on the mountain. However, I must say that I really really enjoyed every moment of it because these young people constantly allowed me to see how I can push myself beyond my own limits and they often inspire me to continue to be idealistic. Just as much as I teach them about the word every weekend, they taught me about idealisms. Just as much as I stand with them in their times of need, they have always stood by us and have been the most loyal people. 

After spending 3 years of my life standing with the next generation, I wont say that I know all abt them, but I do know about them more then an average 22 year old. But above that, I feel exactly the same way Pst felt. I really love hanging out with them, love every moment of it. Its a privilege to stand with them...Tk you Pst Lia....

Once again, if you have not been in zone F service today and you are in secondary school, pls go get a recording of it from the bookstore. It will change your life.

DECISIONS 
You know, there are just so many decisions you got to make in life. 
At every level, the decisions gets harder and more challenging but you make it and you just got to try what results you get, if its bad, you learn, do it better the next time if its good you tell yourself, got to do that again! 

There are decisions that we know that it will be wrong when we make them but we still do it at the end of the day, miss the opportunity and rationalize and try to reason it out. Sometimes we want to save or salvage the situation, but it gets a little too embarrassing to do so or it may be that we just want to keep it status co and not complicate matters damaging any relationships.

Then there are decisions that are pre decided. You felt convicted in your heart to do certain things in a certain way because of certain experiences so we pre decide on them when we are all sober(emotionally, mentally and physically). These decisions feels the best when you make them and when you are at the end of the journey looking back. 
For these decisions, the middle of the journey is worst. You just got to hold on so tight and not ever let go. For these decisions, at times it makes you really tired, really hard to hold on to and really guilty but the key is to HOLD ON. Sometimes you might even feel that you made a wrong decision but guess what, what we are feeling are most of the time only 1% right. HOLD ON! 

Then you got decisions that has no right or wrong. These decisions are the hardest to make because you can't weight out the positive and the negative points and you never know where it will bring you to. And guess what? These are also the decisions that most of the time affects you the most as it ranges from daily life matters to lifelong decisions. 
What to do with such decisions? 
Its easy...WHAT ELSE CAN YOU DO WITH DECISIONS? DECIDE! 
We just got to decide. 
Don't blindly decide but we just got to follow our heart and decide! 
Read your bible. Pray?  Get right opinions.
DECIDE! 

Please also note...decisions should never be made by someone else then it becomes not you already. its someone else's decision. Ask for opinions, its the most important thing, but you got to decide at the end of the day because that is who you are. I rather you make the decision that comes from your heart then make a decision that is there to make somebody else happy because we got to be real at the end of the day. Thats what the world is looking for and that makes people easy to work with because at least you know where they are and you can bring them towards somewhere. The worse thing is to be somebody we are not, then things get really complicated. 

There are a 1001 things that I got to decide on. I am learning too! Its a journey, got to learn to enjoy it. Time to do some decision making...
NIGHT!

"Sow the word in us and sow us into the world!"

Pasir Ris Secondary School

-          Had an outing at East Coast on Tuesday

-          Played soccer, cycling etc

-          3 new friends joined them; one of them really enjoyed spending time with the rest. During the soccer game, our people kept speaking life to him and telling him how well he played. This new friend was quite surprised and touched because he has never experienced anything like that with his other friends. Later on his way home with some of our regulars, he tried to recall and remember everyone’s names whom he met earlier!

 

Saint Andrew’s Secondary School

As promised...
We were on to PRAY, PRAYING and PRAYED series...

When we are prayed up...
we will experience God's 

Provision 
Moses Prayed and God provided for the Children of Isreal. 
There were mana from heaven that fed them.  
God parted the red sea. 
Feel a lack in your life today? Got to pray then! 
Trust me...you will experience His provision. 

I needed some energy to stay awake, I prayed and He revived me. 
I needed some motivation to study, I prayed and He motivated me. 
I needed some dream to die for, I prayed and He enlightened me. 
I needed some alternative lifestyle to overcome sin, I prayed and he provided me. 
I needed some love to get rid of depression, I prayed and he poured out to me. 

Trust in God's provision today.

Redemption 
The 2 people that died on the cross beside Jesus were the worse of worse sinners. 
Only the worse of sinners were crucified on the cross.
One of them asked Jesus if He would be able to go to heaven even though he did the worse of sins. 
He did at the end of the day. 

No matter how bad your sins are today, God will be able to redeem you as long as we repent and PRAY. 

Abundance
God will bless you exceedingly, abundantly above all that we can think or imagine. 
We got to PRAY and ASK today! 

Youth
He is the God of our youth! 
If we are loosing our idealisms, trust me, once you come back to prayer, you feel that the idealism will come back automatically. 
Its tested and proven! 

Enlargement
God will enlarge our tents when we pray. 

Jude 20 says building up yourself when you pray in the holy spirit. 
When you pray, you are build up. 
Your spiritual territory expands!

Deliverance
Feel that you are in bondage by the enemy. 
When you are prayed up, God will set you free. 

Keep praying guys...
Don't be too busy and forget about praying! 

Did a logo of church! hahaha...hope you like it! :)
