we will be sharing marvellous stories
and exciting testimonies when we come
back. =)

P.U.S.H!

pray hardest when it's hardest to pray.

PUSH! Prayer Warriors!

dear Godchasers,

wanna say you guys did a great job during
mission trip fundraising for the past 2 weeks!
1 more week to go! ;) keep the momentum
going. God is Jehovah Jireh, the Provider!

when we do out best, He will do the rest.

do you all know that we are about 120 hours
away from mission trip? anyone sending us
off at the airport on wednesday? =)

our flight is at 3.25pm on wednesday. we
will be meeting at the airport at 12pm for
lunch. we can all have lunch together before
flying off.

keep the whole mission trip team in prayer.
especially the leaders, Pastor Daniel, Sister
Wanping, Brother Rixiang and Sister Nana.

pray that God's anointing will be upon them
as they lead the teams in the 3 areas.

pray for spiritual alertness.

pray for courage and submission to leaders.

pray for open doors and grab every opportunity
to share.

pray for safety at all times.

pray for team unity.

pray for strong and healthy bodies.

pray for good rest at night.

pray against spiritual attacks, fear and
discouragement.


why do we pray?
are we scared of the devil attacking us?
the answer is no.

if our life with God is right,
satan can never lay a finger on us.
he can try to scare us but he can never get us.

the bible says very clearly,
"greater is He who is in us, than he who is in
this world."

we pray because, right now,
we are not on defense mode.
we are on ATTACK mode.

we are attacking into the enemy's ex-territory.
yes, though we know that God has won,
we must not be complacent and ya-ya don't pray.

every soldier who goes into battle uses his
best weapons! he goes into battle,
confident that he is a warrior.

so as God's army,
how can we go into battle without using
our best weapon, prayer?

we would be fools not to use our
most powerful weapon!

so pray, prayer warriors!

whether you are in Thailand or in Singapore,
you are part of the mission team,
because we are one body in Christ!

you have a part to pray for us,
cover us with prayers.
we are at the frontline, so PUSH for us! =)

lastly,

i wanna say Godchasers Mission Trippers,
give yourselves a clap, you guys did well
today. but, we can be better.

you've improved in your skits.
remember to keep your focus on God.

constantly be praying,
whether you are acting or not.

let's not aim for our own standards,
but God's standards.
His ways are always higher than our ways.

i pray that we will rely on God moment
by moment. not only when we remember to,
but every second, every breath we take,
we rely on Him.


a story to share,

**Purifier of Silver**

Malachi 3:3 says:
"He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver."

This verse puzzled some women in a
Bible study and they wondered what
this statement meant about the character
and nature of God.

One of the women offered to find out the
process of refining silver and get back to
the group at their next Bible Study. That week,
the woman called a silversmith and made an
appointment to watch him at work. She didn't
mention anything about the reason for her
interest beyond her curiosity about the
process of refining silver.

As she watched the silversmith, he held a
piece of silver over the fire and let it heat up.
He explained that in refining silver, one needed
to hold the silver in the middle of the fire where
the flames were hottest as to burn away all the
impurities. The woman thought about God
holding us in such a hot spot; then she thought
again about the verse that says: "He will sit as a
refiner and purifier of silver." She asked the
silversmith if it was true that he had to sit
there in front of the fire the whole time the
silver was being refined.

The man answered that yes; he not only had
to sit there holding the silver, but he had to
keep his eyes on the silver the entire time it
was in the fire. If the silver was left a moment
too long in the flames, it would be destroyed.
The woman was silent for a moment. Then she
asked the silversmith, "How do you know when
the silver is fully refined?" He smiled at her and
answered, "Oh, that's easy -- when I see my
image in it"

If today you are feeling the heat of the fire,
remember that God has his eye on you and
will keep watching you until He sees His
image in you.

16th post

Dear Godchasers,

it's been a while since i wrote an entry.
i've been reading the book of Isaiah for a while.
and i asked God what He wants to say.

He replied, do not fear, my child.

in Isaiah 51:6-8, it says,

"look up to the skies above,
and gaze down on the earth below.
for the skies will disappear like smoke,
and the earth will wear out like a piece
of clothing.

the people of the earth will die like flies,
but My Salvation lasts forever.
My Righteous Rule will never end!

listen to Me,
you who know right from wrong,
you who cherish my law in your hearts.

do not be afraid of people's scorn,
nor fear their insults.

for the moth will devour them as it
devours clothing.

the worm will eat at them as it eats wool.

but My Righteousness will last forever.
My Salvation will continue from
generation to generation."

many times as a christian,
i get mocked at, insulted and shunned
because of my faith.

friends and cousins stopped
talking to me and left me.

because they felt that i was different.
they wanted to look for the old me,
because the old me was like them, very similar.

but they knew that somehow,
the old me was never gonna come back.
so they left me.

last week at the altarcall,
i prayed and wrestled with God for my cousins.
i needed God to show up so badly.

i knew i was gonna meet them on sunday.
i pleaded with God to intervene.

that they will not tell me to shut
up when i speak about God.

the Holy Spirit took over the whole situation.

usually, i would find it so hard to start the topic.
but on sunday, words just flowed out of my lips.
and there was no interruption for 1 hour plus.

usually, i would be cut off halfway and face
some really, really nasty comments, but not
on sunday.

i knew God had showed up. =)

i shared about mission trip and what God
has been doing, in Thailand, in Singapore,
in Godchasers, in my life.

and they listened intently.

they were really open to listening.
i took the opportunity to invite them
on saturday, as well as christmas bash.

they will let me know by tonight,
and i'm still wrestling with God.
they have already agreed to come
for christmas bash!

praise God!
previously, they would never even think,
about stepping into church.

in the past,
they would get so angry at the word, church.
but i did not let fear stop me.

i told myself that i will not let fear,
stop me from inviting them,
stop me from sharing with them.

because i know, one day,
these insults and reproach will stop.
God will cause it to cease.

and their hearts will be open.

we need not fear when people insult
us for our faith because God is with us
and truth will prevail.

if people make fun of us or dislike us
because we believe in God, remember that they
are not against us personally but against God.

God will deal with them,
you should concentrate on
loving and obeying Him. =)

in closing, i want you guys to read Isaiah 50:7.

it says very clearly,

"because the Sovereign Lord helps me,
i will not be disgraced, therefore,
i have set my face like a stone,
determined to do His will.
and i know that i WILL NOT be put to shame."

i will not be ashamed!
