Congregation meeting was one that refreshed my spirit. As Pastor Eve shared about her testimony about praying blessings into the life of her colleague, I reflected and realized that indeed as long as we do our part to be a blessing to someone, to pray or even share Christ, God is already working among and within us.
There are times where I felt really dejected why I could not be that vessel for God to use and bring people to church, but through this I was reaffirmed that so long as I give my best to glorify God in my actions, He is pleased. Pastor Danny also gave some pointers regarding Faith, which is the focus of the meeting. As I pray and seek God to renew that faith in my heart, especially in the area of my family, He spoke and said,” take my hand and follow me.” It was simple sentence yet I struggled at the first instance! But as I reflect on the way home, I answered a firm ‘yes’ as I know that everything will only fall in place when we choose to follow God and give in to Him.
Liangming sent this SMS a few weeks ago that goes like this:
Fear imprisons, faith liberates.
Fear paralyzes, faith empowers.
Fear disheartens, faith encourages.
Fear sickens, faith heals.
Fear makes useless, faith makes serviceable.
Most of all, fear puts hopeless at the heart of life while faith rejoices in God.
Love,
kriss.

I used to have bad digestive problems in the past until I realised in sec 3, that the cause of it was because I had a jaw problem. Dentist said that I wasn’t able to put on braces as my case was a serious one. I was then referred to an orthodontist.
During my first visit at the orthodontist in Jan 2008, he said that my case was a very complicated one and I needed to go for operation. I took X rays and was scheduled for an operation in Jan 2009. I started off with braces first as my teeth needed to be straight first before I was able to go for the operation. It was said that my jaw would be more emphasized after my teeth are being straightened. Still, my parents committed me to the Lord and believed that a miracle would happen. I told God that no matter what, operation for me is a No.
By September 2008, my teeth were completely straight already. There was improvement in my jaw as compared to previously. My orthodontist was amazed but still, he said that if I’d stop improving, then I may want to consider going for the operation due in another 4 months.
However, God is awesome! My jaw continued to have vast improvements under the treatment of my orthodontist. I was asked to put on rubber bands in my mouth in order to move my jaw to the left since it’s crooked to the right. The treatment was an uncomfortable yet encouraging one as I see the hands of God upon me. By December 2008, my jaw was totally straightened but both the upper and lower jaw still wasn’t able to meet. By December, my orthodontist was very pleased with my improvement and said that I no longer need to undergo operation. Hence, operation plans was cancelled. Healing still continued with constant prayers. By May, I was able to have a perfect bite and my jaw is now completely healed!
I was the first miracle case to my orthodontist. He said that it was near impossible that such a complicated case like mine is able to avoid operation. Little did I know that my orthodontist’s a Christian too. I believe that it wasn’t by mere coincidence that I was referred to him. I believe that God was using his hands to heal me. Praise God! God truly answers prayers!

E-Tribe Congregation Meeting at Pastor Eve’s house

No matter what the level of your ability, you have more potential than you can ever develop in a lifetime.
- James T. Mccay
The girls from DE-Tribe had a wonderful and powerful congregation meeting with Ps Eve. Ps Eve shared with us on the topic of the potential. All of us have a potential within us that we have to discover this potential and realise it.
Potential is defined as a latent excellence or ability that may or may not be developed.
Yes, potential is something undiscovered, something that we need to spend time to realise it so as to make it real in life.
But, how can we realise it?
- Believe and go do it with FAITH.
- Willing to explore all opportunities: Dare to say: “Yes, I will do. I can do!”
- Experiment the area: Don’t get into the habit of “Huh, cannot lah”
Three seemingly simple steps but requires time and the spirit of “Yes God, I will do my best of the direction you have given me.” Potential does not come overnight, but it requires time and most importantly, it is the God-given purpose that determine the potential.
Eph 2:10 “For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do so.”
It is not about how small, weak, good you are, it is all about how great, how wonderful God is. Are you willing to let God turn your situation around and fulfil His purpose? What we have are we willing to serve God? Are we putting the “I” bigger that “GOD” in our hearts?
These are a few questions that God placed upon my heart. And I responded. It is not an easy route. But it will be a wonderful and fruitful route and journey. God says, fix your eyes onto Me, fix your mind on My word.
God is willing to mould us to the person with the potential He has placed within us long before we are born, may we too be willing for Him to be moulded by Him.
God bless you,
Kwai Hoong

TGIF is often thought of as an outreach event to bless pre believers and I agree that it is very much. At the same time though less often mentioned is that it is also a time of blessing for believers.
This TGIF, I was richly blessed by the Lord because of a few reasons and here I would like to give thanks… I would like thank God for the unity the cell displayed in pulling the event through.
I thank God for 
Clar and Val, without their creative ideas and energy the planning and preparation phase for the event would not have been so smooth. Also, thank God for Pastor Danny and Lionel for lending their support and encouragements. Valerie, Candice came and helped to prepare the food. Others came by to help out later. Chantel, together with Clar, Jia Jing and Dinali led us to play some interesting icebreakers. It was a good time spent that allow us all from various groups to engage in some good clean fun. Then Clare came to lead us into worship. God was using her mightily. God came and ministered to us and really set the stage for the testimony sharing.
I
thank God that in the midst of sharing, God came and communicated the message to the guests in ways that mere mortal words can’t. I believe in either big or small ways, the seeds have been sown.In the latter part where we broke into small groups to share, each and every member made an effort to help the guests to settle down and mingle. In such a holy setting, food is a must. And everyone settled in to eat and well… all was finished…
Through it all, I felt God’s reassuring presence not just in His presence but also in the community that He has provided. I thank God it’s Good Friday because of Him and His people…
