wow wow wow! Praise the living God!
so y am i so happy?
well my mother always told me to change the way i act and treat my parents and stuff or God would teach me himself, that was like years ago and i was like meh whatever. BUT ...

i had a flu kind of thing, but then it like evolved into some weird throat nose infection thing. to save u guys the details, i basically couldn't breath through my nose at all and my tonsils were swollen, no its not tonsillitis. anyway, its Tuesday now and i still have it but its all subsiding. ok, big lesson here. during this whole thing, i realized how my mom takes care of me, and trust me, for me to look at my mother in that way means alot. like she would go down and but stuff at any time just so i could eat what i wanted coz i was like bed ridden for a few days.

anyway, basically i had to learn a life lesson the hard way, so trust me guys, learn and change before God teaches you the hard way. like now I'll never look at my mom like the way i used to, i have a much deeper appreciation for her and I've learnt that I should be nicer and more respectful to her. thats got to change in my life. and thanks to all of u guys out there who have been praying for me through this whole sickness period.

well now i have to go and take my medicatin haha.. thank you Lord.

rite, so this is more like a personal entry, but i will try and link it to something that I believe we should all put into practice. on the way to Church this morning, i lost my phone in a cab. this particular phone wasn't exactly a cheap phone so i felt the pinch pretty hard. anyway, i only realized it was gone about after an hour after i arrived at church, so calling the cab company wasn't exactly helpful.

anyway that was that, so a few minutes after i realized that i had lost my phone, it was time for worship. now, i was very upset, but i made a decision that i wasn't going to let this incident affect my worship.
see, the thing is that no matter what is going on in your life at any given time, even right before worship, you shouldn't let it affect how you worship. why? because God is still worthy no matter what. yes i lost a very expensive phone, and yes my parents won't exactly be pleased with that, but the fact is, God is God and he is worthy at any place, at any time and no matter what circumstance you're in. so i put everything aside and worshiped God.

so yeah the point of this entry? never say that you're not in the mood to worship God because it is not about YOU at all and it doesn't matter if you're in the mood or not. the point is that GOD IS WORTHY! so worship HIM always no matter what. today was one of my lowest days but i worshiped and i believe that i was blessed. SO WORSHIP GOD AND BE BLESSED!

just got back from a youth rally! if you're reading this and u were there, then u would know why I'm so excited...this entry is not going to be me sharing, but its just simply an encouragement to all those that heard the word today. be strong guys! WE ARE the chosen generation. its hard i know, but one day every knee will bow and tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord. so be strong and let us all ground ourselves in His word so that we will see a revival in our generation line no other has ever seen. AMEN!!

first of all..thanks 2 everyone thats been behind me on this so far, i just hope more and more people will start to read this blog.

in my previous entry, i talked about how God desires obedience from us more than he desires sacrifice. today, I'm going to talk about something completely different. this morning was the first time i ever did quiet time. for those not too familiar with what this is, its when you sit in silence with a worshiping heart and you wait for God to speak to you, be it through his word or directly.
anyway, i woke up early, listened to some worship music and then waited on the Lord. I must admit that it wasn't easy waiting for 20mins, but the word that I got just blew my mind. i opened my Bible and found myself in the book of Ezekiel chapter 2 verses 16 to 19. The heading of verse 16 in my version of the Bible is Ezekiel Is a Watchman. basically these few verses talk about how Ezekiel had been made a watchman over Israel by the Lord and how he was to deliver the words he heard from the Lord to the people. in verse 18, God begins to speak to Ezekiel about the responsibility that he now has, if God tells his that this wicked man shall die, and if Ezekiel doesn't warn him from his wicked ways, then that man will die and his blood will be on Ezekiel's hands. however, if he does warn the man and he does not change his ways then he shall still die BUT Ezekiel would have saved his own soul.
i feel that this teaching applies to us just as much as it applied to Ezekiel. If we are the servants of the Lord and we were put on this earth to expand His kingdom, then surely we are watchmen, which would mean that if we see our friends doing or going to do something that is detestable to God, then it is our duty to say; "Thats not a good idea man", or just say stop!. if we don't, then according to the word, we will one day be accountable.
its very easy to do, i am practicing it myself. just try it, the worst they can do is to not follow your advice. be a true friend to the people around u. don't be a stumbling block, help them find the light.

ok...so its been ages since i've updated...dunno y, well basically no time, but hey! ive learnt new things and hopefully i can share what ive learnt with u and it will help. ok, so lets get started.

so, in 2006 i recieved a word saying obedience is what the Lord desires, not sacrifice. ill be building on this in this entry because it took me almost a year to figure it all out. in the past, when i just started developing a relationship with Christ, the thought that i had in my head was that God looks for those that are willing to give their all even if it means dropping everything. this is true! BUT thats not what its all about. c i grew up in Uganda because my parents were sent there over 20 years ago as missionaries. over time my dad grew to love the place and we ended up staying there because he started his business over there, so i never had 'church friends' or a youth fellowship at all. so when i move to Singapore in 2004, it wasnt exactly easy for me, but the church was a great support to me and some of the friends i made then have become my best friends now. anyway...all this links in because growing up overseas, i never had a real relationship with God therefore, i didnt know what he wanted me to do or to be like, so i started making "sacrifices" for different things and always found a way to link it to serving God.

In the meantime, my relationship with my mom was deteriorating very quickly. i was becoming rebellious and i eventually started living a double life, one to please the Church community, and one at home. then the word came. and slowly it was revealed to me that thats not what its all about.

c the point of me saying all this is that we can sacrifice averything we have, money, time, friends...everything that we see as important and simply put a label on it saying.."Lord all this I give to you, let your will be done" and yes! its what we should be doing, but if we, as the children of God, dont listen to him and obey him, then all our 'sacrifices' mean nothing, yes you may see blessings in you life...and thats because giving is a way of God, but it doesnt mean ur pleasing Him. i dnt want u all 2 get tired...so ill cut it short for now...think about it...r u being obedient...to ur parents, elders, GOD?? or r u sacrificing thing and labeling them?

God bless.
