Kinda got a revelation from yesterday's cwbs hope you guys don't mind if i just share some stuff(: hahas. oh and there's a pm later, 10 at jacq's(:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1 Corinthians 13:4-8 says,

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no records of wrongs.Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.Love never fails but where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues,they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.

God is my giver of life, He is full of devine revelation and understanding.
We are called out of the darkness into God’s wonderous light.
Maturity, is looking like an army of God.
When the Lord calls you, He wants you to be a lover.

Loving is the process that leads us to maturity.
The work of holiness can take the place of Christ.

Learn to walk in balance, that is the key to your christian life.
Holiness is obedience.
Your flesh can never understand the purpose of God but your spirit can.

When you come out of your shelter into the real world you will get bruised and hurt in different ways but if you hang on to Christ you are a TRUE believer.

-VERENA NATASHA SCHONENBERGER CHEW WEI EN(:

Philippians 1:28-29

Don't be intimidated in any way by your enemies. This will be a sign to them that they are going to be destroyed, but that you are going to be saved, even by God himself. For you have been given not only the privilege of trusting in Christ but also the privilege of suffering for Him.

I've looked up the meaning of "privilege" in the dictionary and it means:

1. a right, immunity, or benefit enjoyed only by a person beyond the advantages of most others
2. a source of pleasure granted to a person

Insert definitions 1 and 2 into the verse, it'll be:

1. ......... the benefit (enjoyed only by a person who has beyond the advantages of most others) of suffering for Him.

2. ......... the source of pleasure for suffering for Him.

So let's all REJOICE when we're going through any trials/difficulties in life because we're suffering for the Lord! And BELIEVE that He'll save you from what you're going through instead of showing your enemies that you're going to be destroyed. God bless :)

Loves, Cheryl

prayer requests

hey guys!!
okay i've got some prayer requests from people and please do pray for them!
here they are:

1) Angeline just had her wisdom teeth extracted and is experiencing a lot of discomfort and side effects, do pray for quick recover and complete healing by next week.

2) all the university students applying for their respective schools to be succesful and for wisdom/direction for their next step in life.

and lastly,
3) all the friends that every member intend to reach out to this easter.
for number 3 i will post their names once i get them(:

so let's all pray specifically and persistantly!!(:


(:Verena,

ALOHA! hello all beloveds of N441-both young and old.
just wanna share a bit of sth with you guys.



you know we all know that God is Love
and we always talk about God's blessings as well as the abundance of joy we can experience in God's kingdom.


but what happens when things just dont go as smoothly?
or what if we keep believing but the end result is totally different from what we want?
i feel that the reason behind it isnt just-"oh, didnt have enough faith to believe this time round"
but its something more.
because our Daddy allows everything to happen for a reason!
both the good and bad.



HEBREWS 12:5-6 reads:
"my son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord, nor be discouraged when you are rebuked my Him; for whom the Lord loves He chastens, and scourges every son whom He reveives."

[chasten]- doesnt just mean punishing alone but also to put someone through a test to purify and refine.

VS 7-8 goes on to explain that:
even our earthly fathers n mothers correct us and allow us to go through hard times to teach us. likewise it is the same with God and us! Daddy uses the exact same way to mould our characters or to teach us something.

therefore, our heavenly Father goes on to encourage us in VS 12:
"therefore strengthen the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees, and make straight paths for your feet."


YUPPSIE, so everything really happens for a reason.
when the potter moulds the clay, it isnt a very easy process for the piece of clay to go through. but afterwhich the clasy is refined and made perfected into a beautiful piece of pottery for all to admire. likewise the same with us (:
i hope that you guys have some revelation from the short passage above!


HUGS n KISSES!
(:

HELLO EVERYONE! (:

just thought of sharing a personal testimony that occurred this week.

as you guys know, im working as a waitress. and theres this particular assistant manager whom i dislike, he isnt very pleasant you see.
so everytime before work i would just say a short prayer, hoping that he wldnt be working on the same shifts as me.
haha i know it sounds a lil dumb but still, better than not praying abt it right?
so guess what? we really didnt have any similar shifts.
time flies.
and before i knew, i realised i havent seen him for TWO WEEKS!
so while working 2 days ago, i decided to ask my friend about this assistant manager and why we dont see him around anymore.
my friend replied that he has Resigned. !?
i was Speechless.

blown away by the power of our prayers!

haha well im not saying that we can pray for bad things to happen.
and i Didnt pray for him to quit his job.
but i think its Super Amazing how God works in wonderful ways, how simple prayers like this can even be answered.

this incident reminded me of how close and real Daddy is to our lives!

hope you guys are having a great week (:


-FIONA.

Hey... you feeling down?? here's something for you!!!!

Heya.... if you are feeling down, you can watch this.... hopefully it will cheer you up!!!! I understand how you feel.... dont worry AND BE HAPPY!!!! forgive and forget... dont look back at your past, you dont want to be a pillar of salt like Lot's wife right.... Lift ALL your troubles, burdens etc to GOD and just thank him for his grace and mercy!!!!! LIFE"S GOOD!!!!!




Your Loveable N441 Buddy,
Bryan Lim :) ;) :D :P

Hello all!

Have you all been reading Matthew, which is according to the bible reading chart that was given out last week? :) Well if you do, I hope the verses in this book will make a great impact on you and bring you revelations! :)

Matthew 11:28-30

Then Jesus said, "Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.

However, only Jesus can meet our ALL spiritual/emotional needs and bring peace to our hearts. Be assured that God will never reject you when you seek him and He is not always wanting to punish us just because we have sinned. Instead, He is gentle and warm, always knocking at the doors of our hearts, awaiting for it to open up, so that He can step into it.

Coming to my last point, Yes its true that God gives us burdens. But God knows how much we can take and does not give us a burden which is too heavy for us to carry. The only solution is to ask Him to help and guide you in each step that you take, let the Holy spirit lead you in every decision you make. We really got to rely and be very dependent on Him! Only then, you will find that the burden is light as our Perfect and amazing God is walking along with you :)

Thus, after saying much, your first step is to have FAITH in carry out these actions.

If any one has received a revelation recently, please share it with the cell group and bless all the readers :) You can Verena for the username and password of this blog. :)

Have a great week ahead! :)

With much love, Cheryl.

VERENA(:

:)

I was just reading Fiona's blog which got me very interested when she mentioned about Ezekiel so I went to read up on it... I was really touched by the story/verses which appeared before me a few nights ago.

Ezekiel 1:25 Then there came a voice from above the expanse over their heads as they stood with lowered wings. 26 Above the expanse over their heads was what looked like a throne of sapphire, and high above on the throne was a figure like that of a man. 27 I saw that from what appeared to be his waist up he looked like glowing metal, as if full of fire, and that from there down he looked like fire; and brilliant light surrounded him. 28 Like the appearance of a rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the radiance around him. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. When I saw it, I fell facedown, and I heard the voice of one speaking.

Ezekiel had such an attitude of brokenness and such a contrite spirit that he observed every vision that God gave him in great detail and fell facedown when he saw the Glory...
When I read this book, I really desired to be like Ezekiel, to be able to experience such an amazing presence, to see the visions that perhaps many would not be able to...

Because we do not heed from the Holy Spirit, sometimes we end up being so busy doing the unimportant things rather than what's truly important. We do not hear what God wants us to do, we simply do what's there for us to do. Lets really not forget that beyond all that we are busy with, we got to keep desiring for revelations from the Lord, it is what keeps us going in the right direction... in our destiny.

He's our God, our Lord, our Father and definitely is our friend who loves us so much he died on the cross without any complains/regrets/bitterness.
Lets desire more of God and be closer to Him and Love Him more than ever before N441!!! :)

Do feel free to share encouragements/revelations to inspire one another!

Love, Nic.
