Thoughts as I ate Shui Jiao (dumpling) one day...

Father God, I am clay in your hands
Help me to stay that way through all life's demands.

Have you ever made Chinese Dumplings (Shui Jiao/ Shao Mai) before? We usually put a dampened towel over the skins to keep them moist because when the pastry dries up, it is hard to wrap the goodness inside it as the skin will flake tear. You also use water to seal the skin and keep the goodness within.

The same thing - as believers we need to remain mould-able so that Christ can wrap all of His grace in our lives! =)

Whenever we become dry, we flake at the smallest trial and become easily discouraged.

Remain soaked in His blessings and His Word under the cover of His anointing!

And let the Holy Spirit seal His joy and manifold blessings in you! =D

    Hi Geri,

    Really edifying to read your blog ... a great refreshing compared to the frustration i got sucked into at blogpastor.

    I read the comments relating to blogpastor's entry about a Buddhist monk's simple lifestyle, and couldn't resist rebutting some of the ridiculous comments (about tithing, NCC, and Pastor Prince). Before I knew it, I descended into a spiral of arguments and counter-arguments with people who don't even understand or don't want to understand what I'm trying to say.

    It's your fault (and Mal's too) because you guys haven't been blogging for the last few days, causing me to wander into a pit of quicksand due to boredom ;-)

    Joking lah, just wanted to let off some steam :-) Really appreciate your uplifting entries ...

    Thanks Angie and Stanley! =D

    Sorry for the drought in blog entries ^.^" I was rushing out some scriptwriting. Hoping to rest from work soon to focus on spending time with Christ, preparing Kae's room for him to move in as well as to help out in ministry. I am currently serving in Pastoral Care (Funeral Services), Music Ministry (choir) and Performing Arts Ministry (scriptwriter). All glory to Christ! =D Hallelujah!

    I know how it is like to fall into that quicksand you talk about. =) My dear sis, Andrea, always reminds me not to let the Enemy reel me in by barbed comments. Jesus doesn't need us to fight for Him, and Pastor is under Christ so Jesus is the best advocate. =) Letz just keep in prayer those who are struggling to accept the msg of grace fully. =)

    I used to get so incensed, worked up and affected by this other blog by a guy who hits out at our Pastor and is very works-based. I decided to just stop going there and reading the crap, focusing instead on messages that can edify me and deepen my understanding of the grace of our LORD Jesus Christ =D

    Maybe you should blog too! =) One short para a day filled with thanksgiving for Christ's work in your life for that day. It will be encouraging to us all to read it and also help you to remember all the big and small blessings dished up to you by our generous Abba Daddy every single day. =D

    Abide in Him always bro! =D

    Shalom!
    Geri

Sermon 31/08/2008 - Pastor Lian (NCC)

By -
Pastor Lian has been in NCC for 20 years!! Joke- There was this really old obese lady who was so fat she had serious heart problem. One day she had heart attack and brought her to hospital and she died on op table. She came face to face with God and said sheepishly I guess my time is up… and God said no you are still young you are only 50 plus and you are a NCCer - u can live till 120 years. She woke up and told the doctor and told the doc she just want to have something else done. So she had an extreme makeover. It took a few mths and as she stepped out of the hospital, a car knocked her down and she died - God was as surprised to see her as she was to be back there. Just then, the angels sheepishly admitted - they could not recognise her. Lol. ---------------------------------------------------------- From young, Pastor Prince has always said - "God said", "God can" - he has always possessed a good opinion of God. 14 years from moving to The Rock location - 2 x 7 ...

What the Anointing Oil is & Prayer for the Anointing Oil

By -
Pastor Prince from New Creation Church has recently called upon the church members to use the Anointing Oil to bless every area of our lives. He had gone to Tiberius Church in Indonesia and seen how the anointing oil has made a difference to the Christians there. The senior pastor of Tiberius Church, Pastor Yesaya Pariadji, had been led by the Father to get his church to use the anointing oil radically. He had a vision of a biblical quotation when he was still not yet a Christian - he had no idea what it was. When he became a pastor, he finally understood what it meant. He felt very led to get his church to use anointing oil so they went ahead and used it; their testimonials are plentiful and amazing. Pastor Prince being a huge believer in Sola Scriptura, decided to discern further, pray about this and read up on the scriptural references on Anointing Oil before telling us to use it. He believes in doing things biblically - meaning we can be radical in our faith (for example our churc...

You have Comeback Power - Joel Osteen (Transcript) Pt 1

By Daughter Of Sarah -
I like to start with something funny - I heard about this pastor, he decided to skip church one Sunday and go play golf. He told his assistant he wasn't feeling well and he drove to another city's gold course there so no one would recognise him. He teed off at the first hole. All of a sudden a huge gust of wind caught his ball, carried it an extra hundred yard and blew it right into the hole for a 421 yard hole-in-one. The angel looked at God and asked, "What didcha do that for?" God smiled and said, "Who's he gonna tell?" Alright. Hold up your bible. Say it like you mean it - “This is my bible I am what it says I am, I have what it says I have, I can do what it says I can do. Today I will be taught the Word of God. I boldly confess my mind is alert, my heart is receptive, I will never be the same. In Jesus’s name.” God bless you. I want to talk to you today about how you have Comeback power. We all face situations that seem like they could bury us - the...
