Offering Message By Pastor Zhuang:


Isaiah chapter 43 verse 20
20 The wild beast of the field will glorify me, the jackals and the ostriches; because I shall have given water even in the wilderness, rivers in the desert, to cause my people, my chosen one, to drink,


wilderness means= Difficult time


If God can give Ostriches and animal water in the wilderness, God will give us our need also.

People say to Pastor Tan: "you don't know the economy is so bad, shares drop, out of job and retrench"


Friends.... God is not cutting cost because of all these, TRUST IN HIM!

Stock Market & Economy all these is not our source, but God is our Source. People like me draw weekly pay 200 or sometime 150 and below, and even there is a time I draw 71 dollar, I still tithe and give offering. And indeed God bless me more than I can think of. Praise the Lord!


If you have a need, plant a seed. And if God can multiply the 5-loaf and 2-fish, He also can multiply your money, wisdom and time. Don't you trust Him if you are His people??

====================

Anyway we also are proud to have Chloe N410 cellgroup leader promoted to
Executive Member in our church. Cause all these people who have promoted sacrifice alot of their time and life in church. In our life we must make 3 important decision.


1- Accept Jesus Christ as our Lord Saviour
2- Marry the right person
3- commitment in the church

Sermon share by Pastor Derek @ Jurong and Expo Service


Hebrews chapter 12 verse 1-2
1 So, then, because we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also put off every weight and the sin that easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,
2 as we look intently at the Chief Agent and Perfecter of our faith, Jesus. For the joy that was set before him he endured a torture stake, despising shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.


Father, I thank you for your Word, I pray that may you lead us to a higher level as we come into your Word, let us be more hungry and thirsty for Your Word, in Jesus Mighty Name I pray, Amen!


2 Timothy chapter 4 verse 6-8
6 For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the due time for my releasing is imminent.
7 I have fought the fine fight, I have run the course to the finish, I have observed the faith.
8 From this time on there is reserved for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give me as a reward in that day, yet not only to me, but also to all those who have loved his manifestation.


Prize not only for us, but those love His appearing. We need to enter 'Zoe' life, God's kind of life.

Remember: When the tough get going, the going get tough.


Don't keep looking back, for nobody ride a motor and keep looking back and never focus the front, if he did these, the next thing he will be is at hospital. And that is the same for us, stop looking back but look forward, so we will not fall easily. And also we live one time in a life, so let's live like Christ like and live a solid one by faith, so at least when Christ come and fetch us, we can tell Him "I have done my best, and this is all I done" and He will tell you "Well done, come in!"




2 Critical time when you run

1- Beginning
2- Half way point


1 Corinthians chapter 9 verse 24-25
24 Do YOU not know that the runners in a race all run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that YOU may attain it.
25 Moreover, every man taking part in a contest exercises self-control in all things. Now they, of course, do it that they may get a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible one.

Philippians chapter 3 verse 14
14 I am pursuing down toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God by means of Christ Jesus.


Tell yourself "I PRESS ON"


1 Peter chapter 4 verse 19
19 So, then, also let those who are suffering in harmony with the will of God keep on commending their souls to a faithful Creator while they are doing good.


We need to gone through a radical trial, then we will face radical change.
(Suffer for God will: temptation/trial & etc . . .)

1942 Gold Olympic Runner Horo'd Abraham says:
If you don't run, you won't win, If I don't win, I don't run.


Wow!!! What a motivation quote :)
========================

5 Key finish the race of life

1 Know what fills and drain your tank.
Because out of the belly flow living water

Fill= Every athletes got good coach to guide and fill them with the knowledge & etc
Drain=People never feed you with good things

IMAGINE: Imagine a cup is fill with water.
100% of water= Fill with God, life is full.
50% of water= Anxiety attacl. talk also stumble, very stress.
25% of water= Emotional breakdown
0% of water= If you are not careful, nervous breakdown.

Cell group is a good support system for every member, member care for members needs. Gossip can drain us.

2 Understand the law of balance in life.
Balance is the key to life

Daniel chapter 5 verse 27
27 “TE´KEL, you have been weighed in the balances and have been found deficient.

God is a God of balance. Everything is proper and in order. What goes up will come down.
Like a ruler, if we put our finger in the middle, we can balance it, if we put on the most left or right tip, it will not balance and drop. We must focus at the right time, where your energy and power are, there is the success.

From left to right belong to the Lord.
There is a "plate theory", one person to spin 6 plate at a time, but how to do that, he need to concentrate to put a few plate and spin it, and move to the other side and put new plate to spin it and go back to just now he just spin, and go here spin a bit and there to spin a bit. We need to balance our life just like spinning the plate. When you focus on the thing you need to, you will have balance in life, and God will flow from there.

CHC saying: If Jesus is not Lord of all, He is not Lord at all.
-We afre full time minister. Focus the thing God lead you, ask for wisdom!
-We also can ask Holy Spirit where we should focus. We can be a good wife/husband & etc, cause we can do all thing through Christ!

3 Lead, serve out of rest.

Exodus chapter 20 verse 9-10
9 you are to render service and you must do all your work six days.
10 But the seventh day is a sabbath to Jehovah your God. You must not do any work, you nor your son nor your daughter, your slave man nor your slave girl nor your domestic animal nor your alien resident who is inside your gates.

The 4th Commandment is for our blessing. A day to get recharge.
In Christ you serve, there is peace and rest.

We need to rest and find one day to charge our battery: sleep? play game or etc????
And this commandment are given by God after the red sea, it is given by God to let us know the value. If God rest, and you don't rest, are you trying to say you power than God??? :) hahaha.

Psalm chapter 127 verse 2
2 To no avail it is for YOU men that YOU are rising up early,That YOU are sitting down late,That YOU are eating food with pains.Just like this he gives sleep even to his beloved one.

Matthew chapter 11 verse 28-30
28 Come to me, all YOU who are toiling and loaded down, and I will refresh YOU.
29 Take my yoke upon YOU and learn from me, for I am mild-tempered and lowly in heart, and YOU will find refreshment for YOUR souls.
30 For my yoke is kindly and my load is light.”

4 Find a lightning rod

Proverbs chapter 11 verse 14
14 When there is no skillful direction, the people fall; but there is salvation in the multitude of counselors.

As you know our house roof got a metal stick to collect and absorb all the lightning when it is strike. So by letting go our problem is like lightning strike it out, and the rod is someone we confide to. It is unhealthy to store all the thing inside ourselves, we need to find someone to release.

5 Be discipline in your daily devotion
Everyone go for training

Marathon runner they go for training: Breathing, Pacing and etc
Christian also need to go for training: Study the Word of God and apply it. Holy Spirit is our coach.

Deuteronomy chapter 17 verse 18-20
18 And it must occur that when he takes his seat on the throne of his kingdom, he must write in a book for himself a copy of this law from that which is in the charge of the priests, the Levites.
19 “And it must continue with him, and he must read in it all the days of his life, in order that he may learn to fear Jehovah his God so as to keep all the words of this law and these regulations by doing them;
20 that his heart may not exalt itself above his brothers and that he may not turn aside from the commandment to the right or to the left, in order that he may lengthen his days upon his kingdom, he and his sons in the midst of Israel.

Psalm chapter 68 verse 19
19 Blessed be Jehovah, who daily carries the load for us,The [true] God of our salvation. Se´lah.

And I guess everyone of us need to bath, and when we bath we need soap. In our Christian walk, there is a SOAP theory.

Scripture = Read, Meditate and Daily Devotion

Observation = Observe the thing you read, so you can relate the thing you learn to people who need it. Write what the scripture you observe is telling you.

Application = How this scripture I read can apply in my life.

Prayer = Pray to God and say thanks to Him, if He can do all things for Jesus, Paul and many more other saint and prophet, He also can do for us.
