Updates on the recent me.. Hehe

Long time didn't post liao..

Just to update..
I'd started my new job for 1 mth and 1wk le..
Things are doing well.. And im still doing as a purchaser.

This company is more of a local company, dealing with automation & OEM.
So Im the only guy in the procurement department.

During the first mth was really boring and Im literally doing nothing.
Every morning reach office, turn on email which hardly anyone emails me.
Then followed by reading all yahoo news, posting comments in my future hse forum & playing facebook. Even spend the whole afternoon doing my school assignment.

That was really really free. Not that i have nothing to learn, but those they taught me i already know within the first week.
Then they say slowly you will be busy. But i was like, you got to teach me or guide me first then i could know more abt the processes.
They can't expect someone with zero background in automation to pick up something when they didn't teach or have something expose to me. Haha

Anyway, i keep on asking question lah so not so blurr now.
So far, im quite happy working there as there's not OT yet. Not like most of the previous jobs that first day i kanna OT liao.. LoL

Also the politics in this company are not that much or maybe not that obvious.
But last friday i start to hear underground politics.. haha
Which means they do politics abit within their own and not publicly potraying it which i think is still acceptable.

So gonna make a difference over there. And hopefully future prospect comes faster and sooner.. Hehe..

Thanksgiving svc w Pst Kong & Sun

Had a wonderful night over at thanksgiving svc just now.

It was very heartwarming. It do brings back lots of memories and also a boost in my faith & walk with God.

Personal refelections on The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian

After watching The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, i was feeling alot abt the movie. I felt I'm like the character Peter. For me, there's always a past that is ever glorious.

Victories upon victories on battle against my fleshly nature & roaring with Christ during my walk in the earlier days. However, that was when I'm a "babe" in Christ just like Narnia Part 1, when Peter are still young in age. Able to trust in God more due to the realm of protection being a teenage kid.

However, when we are older in Christ, our hearts are being drawn away by the cares of the world but still trying to convince ourself that we are full of faith & the HolySpirit like before. Which every fight we had against sins is mostly a losing battle. This scene is similar to Narnia Part 2 when Peter is fighting in the subway. He thought to himself that he is still the valiant king he used to be in Narnia. But the fact that he has already lost the old ways of finding his oldself.

That's why we keep having this saying, coming back to the heart of worship, back to the basics of christian foundation. It is really necessary and essential for all christian to keep their faith in God.

Moving on with the movie..
The horn summoning them back to Narnia are the chances of repentance or rededication, which could be found anywhere & everywhere when we enter the presence of God.

The story that struck me is that when they return to Narnia, the place is in a dead state or wreck condition. Animals couldn't talk & trees could not dance.
It's like when we are on the way back to repentance, God will always bring us back to the starting point where we fall or to start over again.

Talking abt it, i remembered the first time i heard this is when im having personal BS with Pst Aries. He mention that our walk is like a stairs, levels and levels of obstacles to climb over, but there's also a period of flat ground. If we walked the flat ground for a long time, that means our walk with God starts to get no where.. The only way is constantly moving up. So when we failed to overcome the obstacles at that step of the stairs, we'll need to go back to the start point of that steps to climb all over again. Ofcos I'm not talking abt our walk with Gods going down all the way to the very start.

So in Narnia, Peter and the rest start over again to meet with danger & also rescue from God's deployment. They manage to get back their equipments and found support from the Narnians. But later to find that their enemies are already coming to wage war.

If some of you could still remember, in Getting Started book, one of the lesson we learned is to build our foundation in a repetitive way. So rebuilding back our faith or spirituality are not a day event. It is thru repretitive action in praying, bible reading, seeking, fasting, etc...

So feeling a bit of the presence of God (getting back of equipments) or contribute to the ministry work (Narnians) will not changed us totally, but bit by bit, day by day we will be strong in our spiritual lives.

But most of the time, problems or obstacles will start to come when we are getting back on track with God. Reason very simple. Satan will not want as to have any chances to go back near to God for even a single day.

So when we are not spiritually strong yet and problems comes, we tends to go back to our worldly oldself of taking matters into own hands then keep on seeking God, due to the lack of faith. And thats is why we are back to the start point to redo the whole obstacles again.

So Peter & the Narnians prepare for a surprise attack in the night at their enemies without waiting for Aslan. By looking at what Peter said at the scene tells how much he had been drawn away by the world. Peter said: We have waited for Aslan long enough for His return.

Think back, the words he said may sounds bad & heartbreaking if Aslan heard it. But never did we know, we are also doing so when we start to act to the situation or taking things into our own hands without seeking or considering God in the situation.

So the story continues by showing Peter and the Narnians was being defeated by their enemies once again. It was a strong blow to the faith & morale.

Again it was another classic scene coming up..
After every defeat, the devil will try to speak discouragement or lie to us again that we are nobody or gd for nothing. Negative thoughts always swelling up in our minds to give up in our walk with God.

So Peter, back at Aslan's How was approached by the White Witch (Satan) to go back to his worldly ways. He hesitated and his faith starts to waver. But God is good, He never fails to provide us a way to overcome the problems we faced. On Peter's hand, was his sword and he could attack the White Witch, but he didn't. So Edmund shatters the ice wall and destorying the Witch.

Notice i mention that Peter has the sword in his hand and to me, it represents the Word of God (Double edged sword). So we do have the ability to attack or overcome the problems, but we are so caught up in the nagative things till we forgot that we had the weapon to destory the problems.

This whole story are too long..
I think it should be enough for the moment.

1 week into my new job

1 week into my new job, kanna unpaid OT for 3 days.. Sigh

I dunno what is happening.. My first day of work sure kanna OT de..
Dunno why sia.. Haha

Anyway, environment still ok..

So hopefully, things will get better when i start to pick up the process and the basic foundations.

New Environment, New Job

After resting for about a mth plus, finally im back in action.

This time round, im even desk bound.. Haha
However, OT is not "required" if all my work doe the day is done.

This is also a fresh new position for me being in a purchaser role.
Im quite interested in this job scope but i think my maths had to be somewhat strong.

The company is a US-based MNC which specialize in distribution for security and networking point. So im really looking forward on what i could learn and received thru it.

So wish me best and pray for me..

Cheers

Life's puzzle

Life is a mess..

Things are getting tougher and more overwhelming every single day..

I myself have many flaws and imperfections..
Why i just can't get myself thinking right or doing the right things?

Days are hard..
Problems, situations are everywhere..
Think there'll not be a day without problems..
If there is, i should have rested in peace..

If days could turn back to the naive days where worries are lesser.
But turn back time also have bad days to go thru..

Life is a puzzle and i've never really able to comprehend an inch of it.

Same old words.. Keep on keeping on.

Sermon by Pst Aries during Overnite PM

Went for Prayer meeting today and Pst Aries message really hit many of us present over there.
Today sermon is abt Grace and Trust which is this week's cg sermon.

*Below are the message that i received under my perception:

He was mentioning that even though we, Christian always say that we walk in grace, but never did we know that by just walking in grace is not enough.

It is great to know God is graceful to us but its another thing to know God deeper.
Therefore we are to move from Grace to the truth of God/God's Word.

He carries on by saying abt the 5 loaves & 2 fish story in the bible.

On that day, 5000 men were being fed with only 5 loaves & 2 fish which all of us know that it is nothing more than a miracle.
So after the miracle, Jesus went to another city and the 5000 men who experience the miracle followed. At the second part of John6 onwards, it mention that Jesus speaks to the multitudes and talking abt the partaker of His flesh and blood.(I'm getting very brief over here as that's not the main highlight)
So many who heard that and left Jesus as they(multitudes "Christians") couldn't accept what Jesus had just spoken.

Ask yourself why those 5000 men followed Jesus?
They followed bcos of the miracles that Jesus performed and they are expecting it again.
But to Jesus, His intention is not for them to follow after the miracles but to let them look behind the miracles and know who is the miracle performer.

So just like Pst Kong always mention during service.
"Dun just look at the blessings but rather look at the bless er"

So the Grace and truth thingy is really talking abt knowing the Grace(Miracles) is good and beneficial to us, but we got to look beyond the Miracles(Grace) and see Jesus(Truth of God) is working on it.

Truth of God is also = to truth of God's Word. (The Word is God and the Word was God)
We are to have the WOG in our life by hearing and meditating on it.

So the story mention that those who experience the miracles soon did not follow Jesus at the end. That means when we walk under God's Grace, we might experience backsliding as grace can't keep us spiritual in God. Grace is something that reflect on how God is graceful and merciful to us and that's all.
So to keep us from backsliding it all comes back to the WOG = truth of God(God's Promises).

So when we speak the WOG it will bring life back to us. Amen.

In the last part, Pst also shared abt his revelation he had today.
As he was listening to audio sermon, a preacher was talking abt the Hand of God brought Ezekiel to the valley of dry bones. Ezekiel did not know what to do with those dry bones in front of him and then God told him to speak forth life(the WOG) onto the dry bones and the bones start to join back and flesh starts to grow.

So this story could be link to some of our current condition on Christians or CG.
Pst was mentioning that the (valley = CG's not growing), (bones represent the dead = spiritual "dry" members) and (the word "dry" could represent no presence of God during CG).

So if a CG that is not growing, members starts to backsliding and worse, when there's no presence of God during CG, could you imagine how the CG leader and members will feel...

So coming back to Pst revelation, he was mentioning that the preacher says that even when we are in the valley with dry bones, God grace is still there for us and the revelation part is the "dry bones" are not yet buried.
Funny right.. Bones by right should be buried and not just left onto the ground.
So the point is that no matter how worse our situation is, as long as we are not dead and buried, the grace of God will be there for us.

And all we need to do is to speak the WOG(life) into our lives and we'll be revived once again.

Guys, even in the mist of trials and problems in life, we still have the grace of God over us and all we need to do in our part, is to live on the WORD OF GOD and turn back to Jesus.

I've just received mine a few hours ago.
Thank you Jesus.
