Christmas Service!

Wahaha... just back from steamboat at chinatown and Christmas Service at The Rock Auditorium! It was a super fruitful time for me, cos i feel renewed in my relationship with Christ! The drama team put on a short performance, yet the power within the message is strong! It just reminds me of how much God loves me and everyone else. Indeed, God's love is the centre of everything that we are living for! Praise You O God!

Today is Christmas day, so i wish everyone a Merry Christmas! Even though times might not be so optimistic, but in God we have hope, we have faith, and we have trust in Him whose plans and promises will always hold true! That alone is enough for us to be joyful about.

(John 3:16)
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.


I felt that something is going to happen. Something not nice, a period of testing and trials are awaiting me.... And then i remembered this incident in the Bible...

Jesus Calms the Storm
(Matthew 8:23-27)

Then he got into the boat and his disciples followed him. Without warning, a furious storm came up on the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. The disciples went and woke him, saying, "Lord, save us! We're going to drown!"

He replied, "You of little faith, why are you so afraid?" Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm.
The men were amazed and asked, "What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him!"

The storm here symbolises a problem; a major problem in life that you might face. As we follow God, problems still exist in life. Sometimes, they could brew into a widescale storm that threatens to bring down your life and everything that you hold dear for.

Yet, as this incident shows, when we call out to God, when we share and pray to God for deliverance, God will answer us. He will "calm our storm". Yet, when we ask God for deliverance, we must have faith in Him to answer our prayers. A prayer made without faith is meaningless mumblings.

O but we are only men! Sinners! Doubt always rise its ugly head whenever faith is in the picture; Especially when we are being struck right in the face by a big big problem. A big problem always test our level of faith.

Yet with a little faith, God still helps us. It is His promise.

(Matthew 17:20)

He replied, "Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."

See how much God loves us?

Even when we are far from Him, He is already extending His hand to reach us

Even when we, sinners, cry out to Him, He saves us.

Even when we sinners doubt about Him, He still delivers us, inspite of our little faith.

This is my God! He is the Most High, the One who create all things.
Yet He listens to the cries of a particular type of creation He created.

Us.
