this week's praise report...

Isaac Chong speaks...
My primary school good friend committed suicide on 3rd March. Two weeks prior to his death, we saw each other in a pool parlour. We hadn’t seen each other since 12. I was someone who’s shy to invite people to church and one who lack confidence in sharing the gospel, afraid of saying something wrong. Lacking courage, I missed the opportunity to share with him.

I was doubly shocked to hear he wasn’t a Christian and he had leaped from my old house. It was then that I got a wake up call and realized the importance of sharing the gospel. I felt that God was speaking to me through him, urging me to make disciples and spread the gospel. His voice was further confirmed after sharing my experience with Estella a few days later. That week , she happened to visit the prayer link blog and after reading the blog, it occurred to her that the post on 7/3 by Moses applied to me.

I read the post and was amazed by God’s timing. “The first step in obeying the great commission is to spread the gospel. If we can’t even pass the first hurdle, how could we expect ourselves to be used mightily by God?”– This struck me most and showed me that He was real and my faith increased. Because of all this ‘coincidences’, I know that when I try to share the gospel, God will put the necessary things for me to say.Praise God!

i realised tt with this blog, i can't really be creative because many things cannot be explained verbally...so..

this week's prayer pointers... is actually to pray for the next 4 commandments.

If u didn't get last week's prayer pointers, let me explain.

For 3 weeks,we're going into the 10 commandments as we felt tt in this modern day generation, the 10 commandments speaks more den wat is stated. Eg...do not worship any idols or make any idols bla bla bla...
yes, we do not worship in the form of statues anymore...

What has become our idols?- computer, celebrities (even christian celebs when we go all the way to the different concert to chase em, get thier pics or autograpghs) tt's a form of subconscious idoling. Let's pray agst tt yeah?

This week, we pray tt

1. We'll rest on the Sabbath.

2. To honor our parents.
we may be obeying em on the outside, but wat abt our hearts and minds? Does it agree with ur actions?

3. Do not commit murder
Do you hate someone? or are u cursing someone hoping tt this person who irritated u will get knocked down by a car or tt he or she will be ostracised? tt's murdering...

But do u also know..tt gossip kills?WHen u gossip, u're murdering. SO watch ur tongue

4.Last but not least, Do not commit adultery
haha..u're wondering,how is tt possible when we're christians eh?

Now,committing adultery doens't mean going to bed with someone who's married whatsoever.

Do u like someone who's attached and is wishing and hoping tt this person breaks up so u'll get a chance to be with him or her?

Or are u attached but still have a longing for someone other den ur partner?It cld be someone u once like and when u're attached, u still have feelings for this person? Well den, pray and ask God to help u to guard ur hearts. Since u've chosen ur current partner..LET GO of this other person no matter how much attention he or she is showering u.This person may have treated u better now tt u're attached so u wun get the wrong ideas anymore.So..pray tt no such thing happens yeah?

Well..tt's abt it for this week's prayer pointers. I hope many of u are praying alongside us! i hope to see u joining us one day.

May u be blessed!
