My Ministry

Being Different

2010-04-06T14:41:00.000-07:00

Well, this was the post I posted on my blog with the intention of starting a ministry in 2008, and now my definition of Being Different is now in social life - Crossing Boundaries, Extreme, Different, Goody Shameless, more things I discovered, sometimes when I read my blogs, I say it's totally out right now, I doesn't rhyme to my life right now.

We have the advent of Lady Gaga these days, and I love her. But she's not spiritual. Not advocating any spirituality yet. She mentions in one of her interviews she IS going to talk about religion or stand for religion, But. she feels that she is not ready yet. Oh well. She is an influencer.

About my more things discovered, sometimes when I read my blogs, I say it's totally out right now, I doesn't rhyme to my life right now. I'm backslidding. And it's not good. Sigh. I need help. If you'd like to just email me found at my page click My Complete Profile.

This is the innocence I need right now.

And man. I write alot. I should stop blogging or what? my posts get deleted my com crashes.

Being Different

I just know something yesterday, apart from Christ we can do nothing.

We indulge ourselves in worldly pleasures, throughout the week etc, and all was good and pleasing to us when we finally reach a stop point on the last brink of fleshy-overindulgence.

It was the Clean and Green Week 2009 30 Oct 09 - 1 Nov 09 at HortPark. I was at Queenstown, there were skin care vouchers of $50 to be won, there were free ez link cards to be gotten, there were a dragon queue of people queueing up for a lucky DRAWl for a free Mitsubishi Aircondition and Fridges.

All around me was clambering to get prizes.

I can feel they are hungry for things in their lives. Better things, more money, better facilities etc.

Not saying this is not allowed man!

These are all good having good things.

I was stinking badly in my shirt, and I saw that Jack n Rai, the band members performing we sweating in the sweltering heat because they were just merely tents and booths with lots of games in it. It's a good way to attract people here. With all the offers that it has. Sucked me in too.

And when I reached there at 2pm, (the first thing I did in the morning) I lazed around till about 4.40pm. And the event was still ongoing strong with throngs of crowd trying to get their chance till 9pm. My thoughts were okay at that period of time. And I felt I need to go for service, or church, I want to hear Jesus being preached! I want to know more about JP ministries and listen, know more.

So I left the hustle and bustle, but when I look at the aunties, the store tenters, I feel for them, did they fulfill their hunger on this Sunday morning? Where the whole of the 6 days we eat, sleep, forget about God, eat too much, sleep too much, ignored the good things of life too much, ANND on the 7th day, eat, sleep, forget about God, eat too much, sleep too much, ignored the best thing in your life. Hmmm. So therefore this ministry I want to set up is the

Bridging Ministry

Sorry if my thoughts are pretty here and there, I must say I cannot escape being a random person. As said, when it was 4.40, my thoughts was okay, but when after I went to service and missed the draw at 8pm, my thoughts were whirling. Right, you don't understand what I mean now right? It's move on and get the big picture.

Bridging Ministry because as said, I sit and wonder what's going on on the other side of the country.

Here I am knowing what's on, there are good sermons being preached in some megachurch but some other churches may be doing some others things, but we are just waiting when they are Free. Not doing anything.

With this we can see a divide in resources, sharing of ideas, coming together in the segregation of Christian communities and most importantly, the deprivation of a good sermon about God that one church is preaching, and another good Bible study that the church with good sermon lacks.

I see I can bridge the gap and be that agent of change that has always been missing out on things which are REALLY beneficial for you.

The aircondition, fridge, and the "tahan-ness" in the heat to get prizes is GOOD. To live a better life. But the BEST thing in life is JESUS. And all people needs to know that, and I want to reach out to them. Just like you may be ignorant of some thing, you'll appreciate when some one tells you that's something good for you out there and you can do something good for them.

I am an explorer, I do things differently and even conventional people cannot take it sometimes. I venture out into different territories and things that people do not dare to take the grr First Step. I take.

And in the meantime of doing that, I discover some things in this world and in my life and understand people's lives better, I am living for the purpose of my life.

And though those ignorant people would look at me in laughing eyes that I do stuff that 'normal' people don't usually do. Well, 'normal' is a a boundary. A slim woman is normally beautiful in Singapore, but a fat woman is perfectly longed after as beautiful in Africa. Because. They don't have much food to eat.

Let me tell you my true story. When I was discovering all the new stuff about church, already, my mind was telling me "Go out to the ends of the world and Tell them these stuff! Things are happening on this side of the earth, and the other side of the world just waits to rot!" Hmm. cld get deeper into my life to understand me better.

Okay, my mind was telling me that. But I am going to be the first crazy woman to be preaching about cults, John Todd, music and on the Bible-Ministries denomination, HOW AM I GONNA START?!. Start a website? Hm, still a struggling student. Need monthly cash. Do this and that? That that this this from other people. Opposition? A Poem?

So this is what I did. I brought people WITH me to the new ends of the world. The experience. The sight. Things that conservative churches wouldn't see themselves, some saw, they understand. Some things that the affluent charismatics wouldn't see in small, uninflencing Bible churches, they saw the Bible that they need to know about.

Sigh. The long drawl of life when you don't see results if you help Bridging. But, every small little ripples counts! I am rippling the Christian community. Know more about the Word of God. and Worship the Lord in New Songs! The Bridging of the Gap between the utmost good-in-worship Charasmatics and the Really-Good-Hope-You-Can-Realise Conservative-Traditional Churches. Or they believe in the fundementals.

the rest of the msg got cut off by blogger, suddenly dint save . grrr.

okay, add ons

My life has taught me to accept who I am. To be different is perfectly normal. It is an avenue to express myself and voice my emotions and opinions easily where previously you don't have to be constraints by what people calls or what Society calls 'normal'.

We are the Lord's Servant that move forward with God's Plan and Direction. We share great joy, love and hope to the people around the World as God love the people so much. Praise the Lord!

I want to Live By this Mission.

Dear all! Man, this is God sent! I was searching for pictures of Lady Gaga's coffin at Bad Romance to put on my Facebook picture, cos it was cool, and chanced upon this website! Didn't know and didn't want to know that Lady Gaga is part of the Illuminati, sigh. The Bible says "the treasure on earth would be eaten with Moth and dust" Dear all God's people, believer Christ-ians, wondering what you have to do? What to do with all this sh*t cr*p? Look unto Jesus.JESUS. Rite. Cos I also chanced upon this really good ministry - check it out http://josephprince.org/aboutus/missionstatement/missionstatement.htm,tho I might not fully argee with JP's teachg abt tongues..

Jesus is the answer. Jesus said "You are worried about all things, but Mary has chosen what is better" Really just hide into the save place in Jesus! Yes and He warned in the last days there will be false prophets arising and "lovers of themselves, lovers of money" etc Sigh I was thinking of going into the music industry etc, becausE I din't find much to do in stagnant life, you noe mayb the reason why I go into it, it's because I Want To suck off all the money from the music industry and give it to the church. Which means, the church should be wealthier and prosperous then this fleeting MTV scene. Hmm, as in be famous, but, when I'm famous, I'll tell everyone about Jesus! For the purpose and good of Jesus, not worth it for everything temporary, I'll get tired. Well, there are things we can accomplish right now, aside from the MTV scene, keep getting to know Jesus, keep getting to know what God has to say in the Bible, really help the church, do Bible studies for those ppl. Just like a contrasting scene with the rich and famous, REAL HELP IS HELPING those homeless people, those street old blind, scraggy people that we choose to ignore when we walk past everyday! I think with all these knowledge about the Illuminati and stuff it's good, but from the Tree of Knowledge, drink and eat from the Tree of Life. Possess peace. PEACE. Hide safely in Jesus while in this mess, and don't forget to share the good news with others too. Lol, by writing this, it brings on a revelation to me too, haha, it touches my heart. Till then, Cheers alot!! Christ in you and you in Christ in His Secret Place of the most high. God Bless, Gen, wldn't hv tot, Be a small voice coming frm a country lik Singapore! christopherkollynsgen.blogspot.com peeps really cool if ya wanna talk ta me drop me an email ta geldastrizchurch@Hotmail.com! yahoo

Hello! Pastor Jack!
Im the newcomer Gen here!
Would like to share with you this!

(can a forum be set up on maranatha's website?)

i found out that most of yr resources on cults and occultism infiltrating the church targets the church themself..
recently, i found out the source and sole source it came from

from the testimony of Christopher Kollyns - christopherkollyns.blogspot.com
and a friend - http://holyspiritvictorious4ever.blogspot.com/2007/12/golden-ratio-phi-1618-exposes-order-of.html

Ive went to The Mrmn Church and visit the Freemasons Lodge in SINGAPORE (yes there is)

Just a suggestion to target and help the leaders of the society - the source instead .

Cheers!
Gen!

Subject: Sharing Joy: Today's Tracting

Amen!

There are far more people who we can reach out to

I am reaching out to people who are in churches that has the wrong doctrines, Mormons or JW

There are people like that that we haven't touch yet

In pentacostal or spirit falling down churches, I'm reaching out to people there

First to be a friend, understand why, how they are there in the first place, and then, share your life and testimony to them, being in a Bible centric church etc

Do not make the teachings in the church be confined to only a church's walls!

We are living people and needs to bridge this gap that is within the Christian society that we can bring in more Non-Christians when they see our flourishing Christian community.

Amen.

Subject: Sharing Joy: Today's Tracting

Hi All,

Just want to thank God for the tracting today. I thank God and thank those who remembered the tracting today in prayers and for those who have availed themselves (the whole family of Dn. Terence).

We went to Pasir Ris St. 21 and covered 3 blocks. Dn. Terence and Tabitha went to cover Block 275, Sis. Sally, Sarah and Deborah (one group), Madam Kim and I (another group) went to cover Block 271.

It was a triple blessing. Firstly, because I thought no one would join the tracting but the Lord sent Dn. Terence and the whole family. I was so glad and grateful to the Lord for He heard prayers. So together with me, we had the strength of 4 adults and 3 children (Hannah went out with her friend). God is gracious! :D

Secondly, because I was able (God gave me joy and wisdom) to talk to a Singaporean Chinese man who was sitting alone, smoking in the void deck. His eyes were red and when I passed the track to him, I asked him whether he could understand English (because I wanted to tell Him about the track). I told him I couln't speak Chinese. So, he replied with with casual tone that He didn't read Chinese (because he was reading the pamphlet). So, by the strength of God, I started to tell him that the pamphlet is from church. His reaction was as casual as before. So I continued. I told him that this is a very special invitation. It is a program specially arranged. I told him, "Uncle, do come if you are free. Find out for yourself the true meaning of life in God. Life is short and if you cannot have a meaningful life, you will live a miserable life." I told him certain buses that he can take if he want to travel to church. Then he asked me where is the church. I told him it is near Changi Village.

Then thirdly, Dn. Terence came back with a note he passed to me, telling me the need to follow up because he met a China national guy and there were few people staying in one house. Blk 275 #02-530.

A less than 1 hour tracting has brought so much spiritual blessing and thanksgiving for me personally to see how God could work His marvelous work, because He is faithful! :D

Words of Encouragement: So friends, if you are doing the ministry of reaching out somewhere out there, wherever the Lord leads you (workplace, etc), I'm sure there are "surprises" that you experience or maybe will experience. Perhaps you never expect certain people to come, but they can make it. Or you expect certain people to turn out, but they are the ones who can't do that. Or any other similar surprises out there.

The lesson for us is, don't be discouraged! :D

God, through His faithful servant, Apostle Paul, reminds us, not to be weary in well doing (tracting, inviting people to hear God's Word, sharing Christ, be kind to those who are not kind, be forgiving, be loving to our enemy, etc) for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not (Galatians 6:9).

Life Application Study Bible comments on Galatians 6:9 this way, "It is discouraging to continue to do right and receive no word of thanks or see no tangible results. But Paul challenges the Galatians and us to keep on doing what is right (I add: what is commanded and what is pleasing before Him) and to trust God for the results. In due time, we will reap a harvest of blessing."

Yes, the reward of well doing can come in tangible form. But surely, the immediate blessing is that when we seek God, His ways and His wisdom while doing His commands in our prayers, then our faith in God and His Word will be strengthened, joy overflowed, much thanksgiving and surrender! :D

So, don't faint! :) The literal meaning of that word faint in this particular text is "to have one's strength relaxed, to be enfeebled through exhaustion, to grow weak, grow weary of the mind (not the body)."

Finally, I should add that I got actually quadruple blessing! The fourth is I got a good Greek Website that helps me to study the original language while I do this sharing to expound Gal 6:9. I haven't searched all the context to check whether there is suspicious stuffs inside hahah... but for personal consummation, it'll should be alright. I'm very excited!!! Thank God!!!

So, may the Lord bless everyone who reads this short sharing! Be blessed and bless others by your testimony wherever you are and whatever your occupation/commitment is! Life is short. Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good or whether it be evil. Ecclesiastes 12:13

God bless you all!!!

Wiwin

NB: a helpful info when I write this short sharing on how to call numbers arrangement in English :D --> 2 = double, 3 = triple, 4 = quadruple, 5 = quintuple, 6 = sextuple, 7 = septuple, 8 = octuple

The Mayonnaise Jar

When things in your life seem, Almost too much to handle,
When 24 Hours in a day is not enough,
Remember the mayonnaise jar and 2 cups of coffee.

A professor stood before his philosophy class

And had some items in front of him.
When the class began, wordlessly,
He picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar
And proceeded to fill it with golf balls.

He then asked the students, if the jar was full.
They agreed that it was.

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured
them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly.
The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls.

He then asked the students again
If the jar was full... They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand

And poured it into the jar.. Of course, the sand filled up everything else.
He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded
With an unanimous 'yes.'

The professor then produced Two cups of coffee from under the table
And poured the entire contents Into the jar, effectively
Filling the empty space between the sand.
The students laughed.

'Now,' said the professor, As the laughter subsided,
'I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life..
The golf balls are the important things - God, family,
children, health, friends, and favorite passions –

Things that if everything else was lost

And only they remained, your life would still be full.

The pebbles are the other things that matter Like your job, house, and car.

The sand is everything else --
The small stuff.

'If you put the sand into the jar first,' He continued,
'there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls.
The same goes for life..

If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff,
You will never have room for the things that are
Important to you.

So...

Pay attention to the things That are critical to your happiness.
Play with your children.
Take time to get medical checkups.
Take your partner out to dinner.

There will always be time
To clean the house and fix the disposal.

'Take care of the golf balls first --
The things that really matter.
Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.'

One of the students raised her hand
And inquired what the coffee represented.

The professor smiled.
'I'm glad you asked'.

It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem,
there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend.'

Please share this with other "Golf Balls"

I just did......

The Child

2009-11-06T00:37:00.000-08:00

the ability to put ourselves in someone else's shoes; to see the world through the eyes of those who are different from us -- the child who's hungry, the steelworker who's been laid-off, the family who lost the entire life they built together when the storm came to town. When you think like this -- when you choose to broaden your ambit of concern and empathize with the plight of others, whether they are close friends or distant strangers -- it becomes harder not to act; harder not to help.

Bridging Ministry

Bridging Ministry because as said, I see these people spending their days on a sunday morning here at a Park, ANND then a sermon or message is given somewhere else in Singapore, and for example, a Presbyterian Church can be having a elder sermon and it ends at 11.30am, while another event is happening at a Megachurch preaching about Jesus and living life.

I see that after the Presbyterian/Baptist/Methodist/etc ends their service, they would hand around in the period of 3 - 5pm, and for me, my family just went home. And after a morning we sit and wonder what's going on on the other side of the country.

I see I can bridge the gap and be that agent of change that has always been missing out on things which are REALLY beneficial for you.

And in the meantime of doing that, I discover some things in this world and in my life and understand people's lives better, I am living for the purpose of my life.
