notes.

Some things from daddyGod. Good to note down.

“Just have fun – forget yourself, lose regard for yourself and plunge into Jesus. Lose the rules, break the box, reinvent the wheel – Do what DaddyGod does: Call out light when there’s none, Laugh among tax collectors and societal misfits, calm the storm and walk on water. DARE to do the impossible, impermissible and unbelievable.”

“If you’re happy, it spreads. You control the atmosphere. You have Jesus, you have Favour. You CAN change Lives”

and Lastly “SHINE – Don’t Chase. Shining is not hard for children of Light. Lights don’t ‘try’ to shine, they simply do.”

grace, the face.

I always remembered Jesus being the calm and intense man, yet meek and warm.

A man who maintains grace under fire. A man who stares back at the storm and commands it to cease.

Yet He is that warm and gentle face whom the blind first see when their eyes open and the face which comforts the woman bowed over whom He heals.

Jesus never chides a broken person or the sinful man. He restores the broken and forgives the sinful.

This is the face to remember. The face of Grace.

Repeated mistakes are not condemned by grace. Will the well of the forgiveness of God run dry? Will His tender mercies ever cease?

On the cross, all sins were dealt with, with one fell swoop ALL unholiness have been purged.

Remember only the tender face of Grace. Your God is not angry with you.

casting of the bread.

Ecclesiastes 11:1 (NIV)

Cast your bread upon the waters,
for after many days you will find it again.

We always think that letting go is a tough and painful decision…

But sometimes.. letting go is the one decision that will bless us the most. When we cast our bread, upon the waters of His word and promises, it will return to us… and it’ll return to us better.

Jesus said..

John 10:17 (NIV)

The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life—only to take it up again.

What do we stand to lose when we surrender our lives and our loved one’s lives into HIS hands…

It won’t return to us void… no, for God is faithful. (:

the need.

(: we can never stop receiving. and we can never be entirely filled.

in daddyGod’s eyes we’re either being filled up or overflowing, he’ll NEVER stop pouring. (:

daddyGod will never let us come to a place when we are entirely filled and independent from HIS Grace. there’ll always be something that we need to trust God in. (:

there’s always be a need for grace.

greatness for a cause.

like the man who said this.

indeed greatness is not without a cause;
so as power without purpose.

I don’t want to be great. But I want a cause, I don’t want power but I want purpose.

But with a cause comes greatness.

And with purpose comes power to fulfill it.

humility is not being humiliated, rather humility is being simply human; but being human casting your cares upon the Lord. Humans have cares don’t they?

Greatness with a cause indeed.

failure.

failure doesn’t make you any lesser a person or man.

failure only proves we’re simply human.

if not, why is Grace so amazing?

Don’t be shocked that you fail, but be amazed over and over again by the grace of God.

hope.

Something we all need.

Every crisis stems to the lack of it. Hope’less’ness.

Hope is the moisture to the parched and arid grounds of our heart. It is the soothing oil and the healing balm to the broken heart.

Without hope, there can be no future, no light at the end of the tunnel.

Every bitterness arises because the sense of hope is blinded from our eyes.

Where is hope when we need it?

They say faith and hope comes together. From faith stems hope.

But actually faith, hope and love comes together – and the greatest of the three is Love.

It ain’t fair eh? Having receive a massive blessing – you face a massive opposition and discomfort.

Just keep on trusting God, He has never failed and he’ll never fail.

Just yell help..

HELP DAD!!

HIS-tory Maker ‘09

Just realised the version we sang of Arms Open Wide is wayyy cooler than the original version.

Simply because of this verse:

“Take my all, my History;

Make your call, my Destiny

That I may walk in all You have for me”

The original version was:

“Take my hands and make them clean

Keep my heart in purity

That I may walk in all You have for me”

How apt for a History Maker camp.. Beautiful.

~~

If i were to give a short summary of this camp i’ll say this:

We’re often told to come to camp expecting – come with an empty cup and God will fill that cup, come with a ocean and God will fill that that ocean.

years back in Teenzeal (the youth ministry name then) the leaders taught us to always come camp expecting.

a few years back daddyGod showed me a greater revelation of expectations.

“Come with an empty cup and God will OVERFLOW it with blessings, come with Universes and He’ll STILL OVERFLOW those universes. Because God always exceeds our expectations”

But in this History Maker 09 camp it’s different. In fact it’s the best camp I’ve ever been to (This is my tenth plus camp I think)

So why is it different?

Because the move of God went beyond exceeding expectations to healing broken and callous hearts which feared expectations.

Just recently God spoke to me about the cup revelation afresh.

“You don’t have to always come with empty cup to be filled, you don’t need to empty your cup;

Come to me with whatever vessel you have, it doesn’t matter if it’s filled with dirty water – come to me and I’ll fill you with waters of my love till all the dirty water flows out and ONLY my waters of love remains – think of it like pouring sprite into coke.

Eventually the Sprite will displace the coke. So does my love for your hurts.. If you can’t empty yourself… Come still… If you only have a small vessel, come still… Even if you only have a small vessel full of hurts.. Come still…

As long as you don’t cover your vessel – I can heal every hurt and every bitterness, I’ll pour out my love till all the pain cease, till all the hurts flow out. I’ll pour out my life till yours is restored.

Just come as you are – Give me who you are now. You don’t need to be anything to receive from me, just be yourself.

Because I already love you

as

you

are.”

And God just did that – I saw my whole care group LITERALLY transformed. For those who have expectations – God’s exceeded them, but for those who didn’t know what to expect but just a touch from Him – He did more that that, He restored them and GAVE them expectations, a new and fresh fire for Him.

Amidst the strong worship and the powerful word spoken and the amazing ministering. One thing was constant – God pouring and pouring out His love and choice blessings.

And we just needed to be who we are at that point of time to receive it.

This camp I saw lives changed, eyes opened and hearts healed.

Next time I’ll be that channel to see lives changed, eyes opened and hearts healed. I have a call and I’m ready to let God carry me through my journey. (:

Being Elmo.

You gotta love this mans…

earnest desire.

Lord, i gotta be honest with you.

I desire something solid, real, permanent and personal from you.

I have enough of cliches and holy-moley stuff.

DaddyGod. I believe in you. But I don’t believe in religious processes. I don’t believe in redundant, irrational, impersonal jargons packaged as holiness.

Correct me if i’m wrong. I’m ready to be corrected. But there must be more than what I see, Lord let there been righteous correction, not religious zeal, and legalistic nonsense.

I don’t have it altogether. But I embrace your grace, I know I will be changed.

I’m letting you do your thing Lord, even if I resist, help me let you do your transformation? (:

But there’s too much nonsense out there. Be real to me now daddyGod. Show me your true love.
