Thank You,Lord

1 Timothy 2:4 (God) Who desires all men to be saved and to come
to the full knowledge of the truth.

Thank You, Lord for the year 2010.
Updates are, I went to Ipoh and Sabah during my holidays in December. I went to Ipoh for a Upper-Secondary Youth Preparatory Training and i went to Sabah for Youth Blending. It was really joy unspeakable and full of glory. I've noticed how much i need to consecrate myself to the Lord and give Him the preeminence in my heart. How i need to consecrate my education, and my whole life to be trained by Him that i can "be a vessel unto honor, sanctified, and useful to the master." I really need to be always in my spirit and experience Him everyday.
When i went to Sabah, i visited the churches in Sandakan, Ranau, Keningau, and Penampang. Being with the saints really made me grow in my spiritual life because i not only learned to serve but to "give thanks in everything" and have the burden to preach the gospel. The Lord's move is really taking place in Sabah. All we need to do is to let Him work through us. The condition there was different because i had to preach in Malay. It was actually what i would consider a REAL gospel preaching because i never really felt it happening when i thought i was preaching the gospel. But this time, it was different. Our sole purpose was to only preach the gospel, well, my group actually went to propogate gospel books.It was really my first time that i bought Malay spiritual books to give it to people. When i gave all out,i felt happiness from deep within, that i gave it out from the love of God. Of course, there were people who rejected and accepted them,but the important thing here was that we went forth.That's how the Lord uses us.

Dear friends, you may not understand what i'm talking about but i'm telling my experience of the Lord working through me. When we all went out to preach in Malay, it was then we noticed how lack we were in our language. We were briefed and took some time and effort to learn those Malay spiritual words that we don't even know they exist and mean. It was really an enjoyable trip. I've learned a very important word, 'wadah' which means vessel. Vessels are like containers to contain or to be filled with something. We are all created by God as vessels to contain Him. Have you ever wondered why nothing in the world satisfies us?That's because we're all filled with the wrong thing. We all have three parts. Our body, our soul, and our spirit. You may think the soul and the spirit belongs together but there are actually not. The spirit is the deepest and most important part in us because that's where we use to contact the Lord. That's where we have fellowship with Him. We are all sinners, He died for us to cleanse our sins that we may receive Him. After He died, He resurrected and became the Life-Giving Spirit that He can enter us and be our life, that we may express Him and be His testimony on the earth. The baptism has its significance. When we enter into the water, our old, fallen, and corrupted man is buried together with the Lord, and we are lifted out from the water, we are a regenerated new man. For it is written in 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us from our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. I really really enjoyed the Lord a lot in both of these trips. But our enjoyment of the Lord should not stop there but should continuously be our enjoyment in life.

Of course,I had an enjoyable time there too. I went for canopy walk, hot spring, gardening, and snorkeling too. But the enjoyment of the Lord was the most important of all.

For your information, yes, i'm no longer studying in R.E.A.L International School. I'm currently studying at home, having some tuitions for some subjects, and that's all. I don't know where i'll go after my exams but i believe the Lord has it all set for me. Trust in Jehovah with all your heart and do not rely on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight, from Proverbs 3:5-6.

Oh,one more thing, from now on, all my header pictures will be credited to Ms.Yap, yes, the one in the office, as these are the pictures she took on her trip to Australia.

Romans 3:23
For all have sinned and fall short
of the glory of God.
