Inter-School Christian Fellowship

The good old days

2010-11-24T00:29:00.003+08:00

So happen to stop by the blog and found out what shaun has written is truely inspiring. I wonder always and ask could just if He could turn back the time to these good old days. Wouldn't reliving it be good? Now we could only reminisce the times we had. Oh well. let me share my memories with you.
My history wasn't as long as shaun's. Just a very short one. Barely 2 years i guess. I firstly didn't even know the existance of ISCF until i was elected to help out in SMI christian fellowship. You can call me a noob or anything but seriously, i didn't trust it would work the way it has been. Differences has already set it apart. So when Kar Mun (SMI cf president 08/09) ask me to go for ISCF meeting, i was like cool why not? Then got to meet new faces like shaun, shas etc. etc.
And for the camp for 2008, i was ask to be a helper in the camp. I was pratically the telephone operator for most of the campers. Your parents phone me first before directing them to you guys. I know it's hard to get a line in the campsite.
The camp went on as a start of a revival to most of us, a really life changing and eye opener to me. I am more committed and on fire to serve than before. Mini revolutions and stuff like that. CF in most of the school just grew bigger than ever before. Fridays was like the happening day.
We serve God like what the prophet Joel in the bible prophecied. Prayers has been happening in school every morning. Kudos to those who participated especially those in Anderson who woke up and prayed at 5am in the morning before school.
As the transition went by from 2008 to 2009, it was time to pass the baton in ISCF. The next in line was serene. During the time, 2008 iscf camp was the benchmark and most of us wanted it better. Shaun, me and serene took the first steps, which is prayer. Three of us gathered to seek God first and like a jigsaw puzzle, things started to piece together. People start coming in. Things started to happend. So we had mamak gathering, pasar malams, outing and even an overnite prayer in vineyard church. .
In the camp 2009 was even greater than before. You people are like so crazy for God like never before seen. I can see that with God nothing is impossible. There are some setbacks in the camp but God is always gracious to carry us through. You people even requested for a gathering after the camp and we managed to do it at Jenny's house (thank you jenny =) ).
Finally, it was for each of us to go separated ways. Time to pass the baton to the younger generation. Sad though it may seem but it was truely a great memory. To some you might have grown cold and revert back to when you were before. To others you might have lose heart and lost your faith. To some others, you might be serving everstronger. Whatever it is,if you ever lose heart or lose fatih in yourself and God, lose the Consuming fire burning in your hearts, look back to these two years. How God has blessed you. You have planted and water the seeds in Ipoh by the time you spend in prayer, with bruise knees and lots and lots of tears.
I still do get news from Ipoh. RECESS revolution, High praise.. these are the things you guys have paved ways for through the two years of interceding and praying for Ipoh. YOU ARE PART OF IT knowningly and unknowningly.
I wouldn't mind actually if we could once again gather for fellowship, as for thanksgiving for what God has done. It would just be too awesome. You people have been a blessing to me and i thank you all for that. And whatever you do, seek God first and he will prosper you along the way until you overflowth.=)

Blessed,
-aaron-

Its been a long time

2010-11-01T00:05:00.003+08:00

Just hope someone still visit this blog, its been dead for a year. This is just a small tiny revive. Anyways, its been a long time since anyone here last posted, but thats not important anymore. This post here is not about any of the inspirational post. Just a personal post from me. Again, i don have a specific title of it, just some randomly important information or whatever u may call.

I will just start how we started by iscf. I don have a specific term to name the group, to me this is not a club, society, youth group or a church. More like family, but not just a family(sorry for the confusion). Anyways, i still remember 3 years ago, that was 2007 few weeks before my spm. By that time my old fren shas (who was the leader) came back from KL and started his form6 around that time before the exams. Some of u might not know, iscf has been existed for quite sometime, just that it disbanded and revive back again a few times. Currently i don know what happen to iscf now(the present), heard from some people that is already disbanded due to some reasons. Back to the point, so i was discussing with shas to start back iscf and we did 2 weeks after the discussion of our 1st meeting somewhere around september 2007.

That time the group was still very small, just few of us. Shas,karmen, charis, wendy and myself. I still remember the 1st meeting we did nothing more, just praying for vision. It was wonderful, as months went by, this group began to increase. Though i left for college on january, but my heart was still with this group very much, i come back for meeting whenever and however i can. Prior to that, the camp was intiated(that was for yacf camp 08), we formed the committees though some already left, but i still remember the time we had worked together. And this how the family grew.

Up to now, sometimes when i got free time i will just view some of the blogs that posted about their experinces in camp on 08 and 09. Is not so much about the camp, is about the time we spent together in 8 days. Friendships were built, some of the guys had some crush, etc etc. And very sorry for those who are not fitted in this family, maybe u belong somewhere, i don know, again thats not important. Its been great knowing everyone of u. Now some of u guys are my best frens i ever had, i still keep in touch with u guys(sorry for those who are not,i only can focus a few at the same time).

Iscf had/has been the great part of me during 08/09. Part of me still live there and part of me still died there(not sure whether is still alive or not). I still remember at the end of the year 08 and 09. U guys are the only companions i have, where i hang out with u guys the most occasionally and frequently. I didnt go back to my formal church due to my 1 church policy and lotsa things about it that i don wish to go back. There u guys were, some of u still with me. I appreciate that, i am glad that i am part of your life, hopefully now still is, u guys actually took away my boredoms, U might not know up to now i got nothing left in ipoh. The only reason why i still wanna go back to ipoh during 08 and 09 was mainly because of my family. Thats all i have left there, nothing much, partly of the food as well :-) But besides that, there were u guys still in ipoh, thats the big bonus and another main reason which gave me the reason to go back. Thanks so much.

I don know about u guys how u all feel, but to me that was everything at the moment. The pasar mlm time, sometimes lunch outing,sleepover,party and prayer meeting(was during 2008, intiation for the camp 09). It was fantastic, there was the bond still link(i don know about now). And ya, the caroling for christmas.

What i wanna say, things might have change, sometimes is painful for the memory to live on and is very hurt to hear that iscf is dead(just my assumption). Currently, im in elsewhere, still reflect back about the time alot. Is hurt at the same time is joyful. Significant moments still live on and will forever live on. I do realize some of u have changed alot that including me. But lotsa things i still cherish which was and is forever the same. End of this year(2010), not gonna be in Ipoh, will spend time here, not gonna spend time with u guys anymore.gonna be working, is actually the 1st time for so long that u guys are not here with me for my holiday. But what is the most significant at the same time heart breaking is the memory. I don think i gonna be any happier than be with u guys (whoever u are).

Thanks for letting me be part of your life and to those who made my days in ipoh wonderful and awesome [u guys know who u are :-)] I haven't been so expressive, everyone has their 1st. God bless u guys, to those who having problems and troubles, He is watching, something is wrong doesnt mean is wrong all the way. Continue to trust Him, ever feel like slacking just know when to come back and know how to stand back up.

Regards,
Shaun(ah Nien)

The Prophet, the Widow and the Miracle

2009-09-28T01:02:00.002+08:00

Taken from

2 Kings 4:1-7 (New King James Version)

2 Kings 4

Elisha and the Widow’s Oil

¹ A certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, “Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared the LORD. And the creditor is coming to take my two sons to be his slaves.”
² So Elisha said to her, “What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?” And she said, “Your maidservant has nothing in the house but a jar of oil.”
³ Then he said, “Go, borrow vessels from everywhere, from all your neighbors—empty vessels; do not gather just a few. ⁴ And when you have come in, you shall shut the door behind you and your sons; then pour it into all those vessels, and set aside the full ones.”
⁵ So she went from him and shut the door behind her and her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured it out. ⁶ Now it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said to her son, “Bring me another vessel.”
And he said to her, “There is not another vessel.” So the oil ceased. ⁷ Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, “Go, sell the oil and pay your debt; and you and your sons live on the rest.”

1) God's people is not exempted from needs. (v 1)
You see, we are still humans. We have needs to fulfill. There is no one in the bible who does not have needs to be fulfill. The basic daily meal, for instance, bread for lunch or dinner is a need. In v 1, we see that the widow is being chase by creditors and her sons are about to be taken as slaves. Slavery is actully permitted in Old Testament but it's very humanely dealt with in God's eyes and law according to the Book of Exodus (Exodus 21 v 2). The question of why does she owe people money we don't really know and we don't want to speculate anything but she needs the money to fufill meet the her and her family needs though her husband is a prophet. God's people are not exempted from needs.

2)God's desire is always to meet the His people's needs. (v 2)
God do care about us. Elisha didn't ask the woman to go away but to know how can her situation be helped. God do provide to our needs but many a times, we never see it through God's perspective. We are always complain that God never give me this or God never give me that and God is very bad don't give me everything I want but note, is it really a need? Our earthly parents can be the best expression of how God is. Our earthly parents doesn't give us everything we want because they know what is best for us and what we really in dire need of. God could be express through this and many times better than what our earthly parents is because humans have flaws but God is perfect. God always answers in 3 ways:
YES I'll give you now.
WAIT I'll give you later. You are not ready to handle it.
NO I'll give you BETTER than what you could ever imagine.

3) God's miracles always requires our partnership and effort ( v 1 - 6 )
We have to first make known our needs to God. Although God knows what we are thinking and what we really need, we have to ask also (Matt 7 v 7). Secondly, God requires our partnership in the process. Like the widow, God ask her to borrow vessels from her neighbours. She went obidiently and do it but put yourself in the shoes of the widow, people knows she owe creditors money and most likely will turn her away emptyhanded. She will face a lot rejections, mocking and even maybe being beaten up.
Like the kid in New Testament who offered the 5 loaves of bread and 2 Fish. Maybe it is the only meal he have for the day before he return home but he step up, have faith and offered it all to Jesus and the miracle of feeding the 5000 people came through.
It's never easy but the first step of doing it is the step of partnering and giving our effort into it. We always say we wanna change this and that in Ipoh and Malaysia but we have to have faith, obediently step out, offering fully whatever we have though we are lacking and just do it when God calls you to.

4) God's provision should be utilized accordingly.
(v 7) Look at the instuctions given by Elisha:
a) Sell the oil.
God knows the widow needs money to buy food to live on. To buy, she needs money. Selling off will generate the money. (Coverting the miracle to fit our necessity -God is very specific)
b) Pay the debts.
The widow could have just runaway with her sons with the money from the oil. But Elisha specifically told her to pay the debt. It is a just debt (fair debt plus interest).
"Render to Ceaser what is Ceaser's, Render to God what is God"
God wants us to be righteous and just people. Pay your bills, pay your income taxes, pay what you owe people, pay what you owe the bank, PAY YOUR TITHES- don't rob God. This is a reminder for the future, don't runaway and cheat taxes and debts. No bribes, no kopi money, no under table money. You think you can get away now but wait till you face God. How righteous will you be? How just will you be?
c) Live on the rest.
Don't indulgence the rest leftovers. Use to the optimum of it. Don't misuse what God has given regardless of money, talent etc etc.

Revival(part 2)

2009-08-14T03:18:00.002+08:00

But what seems to be the problem today? it seems that things have gotten worse in the past centuries.
• Despite increased funding for law enforcement and stricter laws violent crime has increased 500%
• Sex education programs have proliferated and at the same time illegitimate births have increased over 400%
• The divorce rate has quadrupled
• Single parent homes have become the majority
• More than 200% increase in teenage suicide
there are so many more things in general that can be listed on, name it u have it.

Today there is still hope!!
Revival is possible as long as God is God. Jonathan Edwards argued that God grants light when the darkness is the greatest.

When there was disinterest in religion, gross immorality, rampant unbelief, God poured out his undeserved, gracious blessing.

Do it again God!

1. IF MY PEOPLE WILL HUMBLE THEMSELVES

God has said, "If my people will humble themselves." God will visit us when we reach a point of desperation. When we surrender that pride, when we give up the idea that we can do pretty good on our own, and we get down on our knees and admit things are not as they should be, then God will come to His people. God says that the first thing I am looking for in my people is a spirit of humbleness.

David said in Psalm 51:16,17, "You, O Lord, do not delight in sacrifice or I would bring it; you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart..."

Jim Cymbala in Fresh Wind Fresh Fire: “When I was at my lowest, confounded by obstacles, bewildered by the darkness that surrounded us … I discovered an astonishing truth: God is attracted to weakness. He can’t resist those who humbly and honestly admit how desperately they need him. Our weakness, in fact, makes room for his power.”

James 4:6-10 – “God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.” 7Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. 8Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. 10Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.”

The next thing we must do to attain revival is that we must pray
2. IF MY PEOPLE WILL PRAY AND SEEK MY FACE

Are you pretty satisfied with the state of the church today – with the devotion to God in your own heart? Revival will not come that way. "If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face." God never sends revival to those who don’t want it enough to even bother asking for it in prayer.

The king in Nineveh said, "I want you to put on sackcloth and I want you to call URGENTLY on God." Urgently – that means with a sense of emergency and with intensity. People who pray revival prayers are those people who pray long, hard, intense, and unyielding prayers from the depths of their hearts. One person calls this full-throttle praying.

Jeremiah 29:11-13 says, "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." That is Full Throttle praying and that is exactly what God is looking for!

One person said, "I prayed for revival in my marriage for a whole week and nothing happened." That’s not revival praying. Some say, "I’ve been praying for a whole month for revival at my church and nothing’s happened." That’s not revival praying either. Those who pray revival prayers are desperate, whole-hearted, never-ending petitioners of God. They never give up. They never quit.

Dwight L. Moody, that famous evangelist from Chicago went on vacation to England. He wasn’t planning to do any preaching; he was on a sabbatical. But he met a pastor there who said, "Mr. Moody you’re so well known, would you come and speak at our church?" So he went to preach the next Sunday morning.

That afternoon Moody wrote in his journal that they were the deadest crowd he had ever seen and that the only thing worse than preaching to those people was that he had promised to go back that night and preach again. But as he preached he noticed that the atmosphere had changed, he did not know just why.

At the close of the meeting, he was led to give an invitation for those who wanted to be saved to stand. Something amazing happened. A great crowd of people stood. He didn’t know what to do. So he said, "Maybe you don’t understand what I am asking. So when we are dismissed if you believe you are unsaved and you need to be saved come over to this little room and meet with me." When the service was over, he went to the room it was packed!

He left the next day for Dublin Ireland. Shortly after arriving there, he received a telegram from the church to return, “Come back. Revival has broken out." So Moody got back on the train, went back to that church and preached 10 straight nights. And hundreds of people came to Christ.

Not long afterwards, he learned the secret. An invalid lady, who could not attend the church, was praying for a mighty outpouring of the Spirit upon the church. She prayed for months. Once she saw in the papers accounts of some of the Moody meetings in America, and although she had never heard of Mr. Moody before, she began to pray that God would send him to her church in London for a revival.

One Sunday morning, her sister returned from the service and informed her of Moody’s presence and his preaching.

She spent the whole afternoon in prayer that God would make that night a night of power. And God did!

Charles Spurgeon – “Whenever God determines to do a great work, he first sets his people to pray.”

We need to be like Jacob. Remember when He saw an angel of the Lord at the brook Jabbok, and he wrestled with him all night. The angel in the morning said, "Let me go." What did Jacob say in Genesis 32:26, "I will not let you go until you bless me."

The preacher challeges us to pray that way. pray that God will send revival to whatever place it is and to say, "God I’m not going to give up until it comes."

3. IF MY PEOPLE WILL TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS

Repentance is not only for the hardened sinner on Skid Row. Repentance is often required of those of us who have accepted Christ and are inside the church. Our Lord said to the church at Ephesus, "Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works" (Revelation 2:5).

Real repentance involves confession of sin and turning away from it.

When Paul preached at Ephesus, the Bible says that "many came, and confessed, and showed their deeds" -and not only that, they turned from their sins, and made a bonfire of those things which should not have been in their homes.

Our sins need to be confessed, and if we have wronged another person, we need to confess (like Zaccheus in Luke 19), and make restitution.

If you have spoken unkindly to a brother or sister in the church …

If you stole something from the place where you work--for the sake of honesty and for the sake of a clear conscience, get those things made right! It won’t take long.

We need to go to the person who has been wronged and say, "I have sinned; I’ve done wrongly toward you; I apologize; will you forgive me?" We must never be ashamed to do that.

Jacob was told that he had to put away the idols that were in his household and be clean before the Lord if he wanted to experience the blessing of God and his reviving power (Gen. 35:1-4).

Joshua commanded the nation of Israel that they also had to “throw away the gods your forefathers worshipped beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the LORD” Joshua 24:14.

Isaiah said, “Take your evil deeds out of my sight! Stop doing wrong, learn to do right!” (Isaiah 1:16-17).

God wants us to be clean persons, channels through whom his blessings, witness, and interventions in this world can flow.

If we are to be clean we have to renounce all bitterness, wrath, malice, harshness, unforgiving spirits, filthiness, and immorality; in short, anything that would “give the devil a foothold” (Eph. 4:27).

Revival(part 1)

2009-08-06T03:18:00.003+08:00

THE MEANING OF “REVIVAL”

The word ’revival" means "to make fresh and strong again; to bring back to a good condition.” One of the keys to the true meaning of the word revival is found in Psalm 85. In the first three verses of Psalm 85, the Psalmist recalls the way God worked so majestically in the past history of Israel: “You showed favor to your land, O LORD; you restored the fortunes of Jacob. You forgave the iniquity of your people and covered all their sins. You set aside all your wrath and turned from your fierce anger.” Then in the following verses he says, “Do it again God!” Verse 4,6: “Restore us again O God our Savior … Will you not revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you?"

It is the nature of all created things to wear out and to wind down. It is the nature of a fire, to go out; of sheep, to wander; of love, to wax cold; of the church, to drift; and of people, to forget.

As a result we need to be revived and restored to the early devotion we had for becoming loyal disciples of Jesus Christ.

Acts 3:19 is a good definition: “…times of refreshing from the Lord”.

There is a difference between a revival and an evangelistic campaign. An evangelistic campaign is something the church decides to do. Revival is something God does. Revival is a work of GOD! (“Will YOU not revive us again…”).

Stephen Olford writes: “Revival is the sovereign act of God in which he restores his own backsliding people to repentance, faith and obedience.”

At the same time, a true revival will result in the church having a greater impact in society as Christians become serious about living lives of full devotion to the Lord Jesus Christ before a watching world.

EXAMPLES OF REVIVAL

There have been examples of extraordinary movements of the Spirit of God throughout history.

One example is the tremendous movement of the Spirit of God in Korea (1906-1910) with 80,000 added to the churches. Since the Korean War, 15 million have come to Christ in a nation of just over 40 million.

Another example is China. There were less than one million Christians in China prior to 1950. Primarily in the last 25 years the Spirit of God has added 70-90 million believers in a nation that contains one-fourth of the world’s population

In our nation’s history we have experienced three major revivals:

FIRST: The Great Awakening about 1740 in the time of George Whitfield and Jonathan Edwards. All of society was dramatically affected. Thousands came to Christ. The Great Awakening became probably the major unifying factor among the American colonies at that time. Laid the spiritual foundation for the beginning of our nation.

SECOND: The Second Great Awakening at the beginning of the 19th century. 1785-1820. Taverns were closed, families were reconciled, young people became serious in their pursuit of God. Thousands came to Christ.

The Gospel came to Hawaii during this period. Henry Opukaha’ia was the first Hawaiian Christian. In the late 1700s his entire family was killed during a tribal war on the shores of Kealakakua Bay on the Big Island. As he fled from the battle with his baby brother on his back, someone threw a spear and his little brother was killed. In his grief, he pled with the captain of the Ship Triumph, harbored in the bay, to let him come on board and leave Hawaii. Eventually he ended up in the home of Timothy Dwight, the President of Yale College and the grandson of Jonathan Edwards. There Henry came to faith in Christ. He attended Yale College, learned Greek and Hebrew and became a scholar and an evangelist with a passion to go back to Hawaii to tell his own people the Good News of salvation in Christ.

But Henry Opukaha’ia died of Typhus fever before fulfilling that vision. Christians on the East Coast of the United States read his memoirs and said, “If Henry can’t go, we will go.” That led to the arrival of the first missionaries to Hawaii in 1820. Just six months before the missionaries arrived, in God’s wonderful providence, the Hawaiian people had overthrown their idol system and rejected their gods. They realized their gods were false and unable to rescue them from the many diseases they were dying of as a result of foreigners coming into Hawaii at the time – eg. the sailors on the whaling vessels. For that six month period the Hawaiians were a people without a religion. The Chief Kahuna of King Kamehameha prophesied that someone would come to tell them about the true God. Then the missionaries showed up and the rest is history!

The spiritual awakening in Hawaii between 1820 and 1840 is considered to be one of the greatest movements of the Spirit of God in the Western Hemisphere. Thousands of Hawaiians turned to Christ. Titus Coan, an early missionary on the Big Island would baptize 500 converts at a time with a broom! Churches were started all over the islands.

The missionaries gave the Hawaiian people a written language and taught them to read and write. Within 18 years the ENTIRE Bible from Genesis to Revelation was translated and printed (10,000 in the first edition – a copy of this original edition can be viewed at the Mission House Museum Library in Honolulu). Hawaiian churches today celebrate the third Sunday in February as “Henry Opukaha’ia Sunday”, recalling how God used his testimony to bring the Gospel to the islands.

Heart Of A Servant

2009-08-03T13:20:00.002+08:00

Verse:
Standing in awe of Your grace
Setting my feet in Your ways
Entering into Your presence
To behold You face to face

Lord of all heaven and earth
holding me in Your embrace
Unfailing love that surrounds me
Oh God I stand amazed.
Chorus:
My Jesus My Lord You're the love of my life
Wherever You go wanna be Your side
No longer I but Christ living in me
Serving You for all eternity

My eyes set on You in this race that I run
No longer my ways let Your will be done
Make me a servant my heart's ever true
Clinging to the cross I'll follow You
I'll follow You.

I don't think i need to post any further about this post, you can check out the song in youtube.

the ISCF encounter

2009-07-26T00:00:00.003+08:00

This blogpost was suddenly inspired.. I was about to sleep and dis just came dat's y is so late at nite..

The best thing about ISCF is not the place but the people. ISCF ppl hav experienced God in a different and much more out of the ordinary. When I first came to noe about it, I thought : It's just another movement or christian association wannabe. But countless times I was proved wrong; the reason is bcoz the people in it are much more mature in terms of walks with God. My most memorable moment was not the camps (sorry to dissappoint), it was just before the TNT concert. Though the concert wasnt much of a success, I still remember vivdly the moment the call for prayer before the event starts. It was the best time ever actually when those serving dat day gather to pray, united as one, on the stage. Believe it or not, God was there in our midst. And when the team on the stage starts praying, the people who where present but werent in the team started praying along on the floor. Prayer makes alot of difference and I believe every christian will agree on dat. And when christians unite and pray, stuff do happen though we don't see it in the natural, though the concert wasnt very much of a success in terms of number of people accepting Christ. But that moment with God, praying, surpasses everything. Sometimes events doesnt work out as successful as thought bcoz God is in control. He has His ways and plans which are absolutely higher den ours and we couldnt argue on dat wid God. God knows the best.
Note: For those who werent there and haven heard of dis, do join in whenever, where ever there is a prayer going on. Maybe the person in charge will call u to join, maybe not but I could say u r most welcome 2 join actually in any prayer. More people, more prayer, more power. It's something u couldnt be shy of and it will determine how ISCF is gonna be.
For those who always stand at the sidelines when a prayer is going on, it's time 2 step in and pray together.

THE CHANGE HAS COME. are you ready to seize the moment and make a difference?

2009-07-24T19:51:00.000+08:00

In Exodus 19, God called Moses up to Mount Sinai and told him that if the children of Israel would obey Him and keep His covenant, they would be His special people. He then gave them “The Law,” which is also commonly known as the “Mosaic Law” or the “law of Moses.” Although the name was attributed to a man, we must be mindful that the One who gave it was God Himself. Moses was merely the “messenger boy.” James 4:12 makes it very clear that there is really only “one Lawgiver”—God.

The law consists of various parts. The most important portion is the Ten Commandments, also known as the “moral law,” as they express the morality, values and character of God. The commandments were engraved on stone tablets and are recorded in Exodus 20: 2-17 and Deuteronomy 5: 6-21. Because there are ten of them, they are also commonly called the “Decalogue” (Gr. dekalogos), which means the “ten words” or “ten pronouncements.”

I. You shall have no other gods before Me.
II. You shall not make for yourself a carved image.
III. You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain.
IV. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
V. Honor your father and your mother.
VI. You shall not murder.
VII. You shall not commit adultery.
VIII. You shall not steal.
IX. You shall not bear false witness.
X. You shall not covet.

Apart from these commandments, God gave Moses further instructions that governed the ethics and rituals of the Israelites. Augustine (354-430) divided the law of Moses into two parts: the moral and symbolical. For example, “you shall not covet” is a moral law; “you shall circumcise every male on the eighth day” is a symbolical law. To Augustine and the early Church fathers, the moral law of the Ten Commandments is still binding while the symbolical law is no longer binding. Besides circumcision and the sacrifices, Augustine categorizes as symbolical law the tabernacle regulations, the dietary laws, the feasts, etc. Because they are non-binding, he interprets the rules against blended clothing (wool and linen) and the mixed yoke (ox and ass) allegorically.

As always, Scripture must be compared with Scripture to avoid misinterpretation. It is clear that Jesus brought to an end the observance of the symbolical laws by His redemptive accomplishment. The entire sacrificial system and ceremonial washings were “external regulations applying until the time of the new order” (Heb. 9:10). These symbolical or topological law was “only a shadow of the good things that are coming—not the realities themselves” (Heb. 10:1), its regulations were set aside once the realities had arrived in Christ (Heb. 7:18-19, 22). Jesus ushered in the new order that made the ceremonial rituals redundant: “In that He says, ‘A new covenant,’ He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.” (Heb. 8:13).

This moral/symbolical distinction eventually gave way to the more precise three-part analysis first worked out in detail by Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274). Aquinas says that the law of Moses is made up of moral, ceremonial and civil precepts. From the days of Aquinas to the Reformation, to our time, the Church has been consistent in teaching that only the moral law is still binding, all ceremonial and civil laws are no longer applicable to believers.

Yet, there is always the vocal minority who feel that since we are in the age of the Gospel, when we are justified by faith alone, the law is now “abolished,” or in theological jargon, “abrogated.”

* In the June 21, 2009 issue of The Age, Cleric Francis McNab, the executive minister at St. Michael’s Uniting Church in Melbourne, Australia, says, “The Ten Commandments is one of the most negative documents ever written.”

* In a recent May 11, 2009 blog entry, a prominent megachurch pastor says, “When you come under the law by trying to keep God’s commandments in order to be blessed, it will lead to death. There will be deadness in your marriage, ministry, health, career.”

The message is clear: the Ten Commandments are unnecessary, oppressive, and maybe even downright evil.

Then there are those who wrongly speculate that the Old Testament teaches “salvation by law” while the New Testament teaches “salvation by grace through faith.” Nothing can be further from the truth. Justifying faith originates in the Old Testament. The phrase, “the just shall live by faith” (Rom. 1:17), which became the rallying cry of the Reformers in the 16th century, is really a concept that first appears in Habakkuk 2:4, an Old Testament Scripture. In Romans 4, Paul went through extraordinary length to explain that both the greatest Old Testament patriarch, Abraham, and the greatest Old Testament king, David, were themselves saved by faith, not by the works of the law.

This may come as a shock to you, but the whole purpose of the New Testament is to establish the law—the moral law of the Ten Commandments. Jesus says so Himself: “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill” (Matt. 5:17). This statement does not mean that Christ has come to merely fulfill the messianic predictions contained in the old covenant. The Greek for “fulfill” is pleroo which means to expand, establish, strengthen, make firmer and fuller. Jesus wants us to have the true meaning of the law so that our understanding of it is not shallow or erroneous. And He demonstrates that masterfully in the Sermon on the Mount when He broadens and deepens what the commandments really mean when they say “you shall not murder,” or “you shall not commit adultery” (Matt. 5:21, 27).

Like Jesus, Paul says faith and law are not mutually exclusive. One doesn’t invalidate the other. Paul affirms the words of Christ by saying, “Do we then make void the law through faith? Certainly not! On the contrary, we establish the law” (Rom. 3:31). And how is the law established? It is established “not on tablets of stone but on tablets of flesh, that is, of the heart” (2 Cor. 3:3). Herein lies the difference between the two covenants. In the old covenant, the Ten Commandments was a set of external code written on stone tablets. But in the new covenant, the Holy Spirit writes those commandments in our hearts, and gives us the grace to live them out in our daily lives. This is not an afterthought of God but His original plan for the law from its very inception.

But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people (Jer. 31:33).

The New Testament repeatedly confirms this. One such example is:

For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the LORD: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people (Heb. 8:10).

This is really what the new covenant is—to have the law written in our hearts. And the way God does that is through the Holy Spirit, who Himself gives us the power to obey them.

I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them (Ezek. 36:26-27).

You are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read by all men; clearly you are an epistle of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of flesh, that is, of the heart (2 Cor. 3:2-3).

Think about it, if the moral law is unimportant to us in the new covenant, why then would the Holy Spirit even bother to write it into our hearts?

This is the whole argument of Paul when he says, “So now we can obey God’s laws if we follow after the Holy Spirit” (Rom. 8:4 TLB). So in the new covenant, we are still serving the law, but we are serving “in the newness of the Spirit” because we want to, not because we have to! We serve not out of fear because the law is our burdensome master, but out of love because Christ is now our Lord. It is no longer a hope of obedience leading to salvation but rather, salvation leading to obedience.

To confirm their validity, all the Ten Commandments are expounded time and again throughout the epistles:
Commandment I 1 Corinthians 8:6
Commandment II 1 John 5:21
Commandment III 1 Timothy 6:1
Commandment IV Hebrew 4:3-11
Commandment V Ephesians 6:2
Commandment VI 1 John 3:15
Commandment VII Galatians 5:19
Commandment VIII Ephesians 4:28
Commandment IX Romans 13:9
Commandment X Colossians 3:5

The Reformers made it a point to emphasize the need for the Ten Commandments in Christian growth and discipleship. John Calvin (1509-1564) says that “even the believers have need of the law.” Calvin teaches that the moral law helps the believers in two ways: (a) to make daily progress in doing the will of God, and (b) to encourage the believer how to live a life of obedience. Calvin quotes Psalm 1:2 that a Christian’s “delight is in the law of the Lord” and Psalm 19:7 that “the law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul.”

Martin Luther (1483-1546), the original pioneer of the Reformation, fought with those who despised the Ten Commandments. He coined the term, “antinomianism,” which the Oxford Dictionary defines as “a belief that Christians are released by grace from obeying moral laws.” This was the first major theological controversy in Protestant history. In 1577, to counter the antinomians who were rubbishing the Ten Commandments, the Lutherans wrote in the Formula of Concord the following statements:

“Thereafter the Holy Ghost employs the law so as to teach the regenerate from it, and to point out and show them in the Ten Commandments what is ‘the good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God’ (Rom. 12:2) and ‘what good works God hath before ordained that they should walk in’ (Eph. 2:10).”

To the Reformers, the Ten Commandments was an absolute necessity for sanctification and discipleship. As such, its validity and importance was repeatedly emphasized in documents like:

* Helvetic Confession of the Reformed Church of Zurich (1566).
* 39 Articles of Religion of the Church of England (1571).
* Irish Articles of Religion of the Church of Ireland (1615).
* Methodist Articles of Religion (1784).
* Westminster Confession of Faith (1647).
* Savoy Declaration of the Congregational Churches (1658).
* Baptist Confession of Philadelphia (1688).
* French Confession of Faith (1559).
* Belgic Confession (1561).
* Scottish Confession of Faith (1559).
* The Wittenberg Confession (16th Century).

As you can see, the Ten Commandments are viewed as vitally important to practically all mainstream, orthodox, Bible-believing churches—Lutheran, Reformed, Anglican, Methodist, Congregational, Baptist, Evangelical, Charismatic and Pentecostal churches.

The truth be told, supporters of the Ten Commandments are in the abundance. In his June 21, 2009 interview with Seattle Post, Dr. Billy Graham gives his view on why we need the Ten Commandments. Dr. Graham says, “We don’t keep the Ten Commandments in order to be saved; we keep them because we want to please God and bring honor to Him by the way we live. Jesus said, ‘If you love me, you will obey what I command’ (John 14:15).”

Well said. I rest my case.

HEARTBEAT

2009-07-20T16:46:00.004+08:00

TAKE a moment... breathe in and breathe out...Take your hand, put it on your heart...
You can feel it beating..If not please see a doctor.

What is your heart beating for today?
-Money?
-Love?
-Materials?
-God?
-Yourself?
-Desires?
There are more to what your heart can beat for..But take a moment.. Think of your creator..

Ecclesiastes 12 v 1:

¹ Remember now your Creator in the days of your youth,
Before the difficult days come,
And the years draw near when you say,

“ I have no pleasure in them”:

He is the God who created you. Without him, you are nothing... ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AT ALL..

So in whatever you do, in the midst of what you think is kiosk, God is still in control. In the midst helplessness, God is helping. In the midst of loneliness, God is always by your side.

Things might seem good, God is forgotten. When things go bad, we proceed to seek God, praying earnestly day and night for answers. That's hypocrisy.

Our God is suppose to be the center of our lives, regardless of what, where and when.

Imagine this: God is like our oxygen. We breath in everyday to live. God is our lifeline so to speak.

In this last days, God is raising a generation, far greater than what He had raised before. You will either be caught in the flow or just get swept away by it.

DO NOT GIVE THE EXCUSE THAT YOU ARE JUST TOO YOUNG, God has use mighty young people to change the face of Israel. Look at Joshua, Caleb, David, Daniel, The little servant girl of Naaman, The boy who gave 3 loaves of bread and 2 fishes. These are the people, out of no where, out of nobody, they are willing and God used them.

Don't worry of how or when or what should you do. All you need is a wiliing heart, a heart beating for God, hunger for Him and praying without ceasing. And true enough, the PROMISED HELPER, the Holy Spirit shall come and you'll be used mightily.

Isaiah 11 v 1 - 2

¹ A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse;
from his roots a Branch will bear fruit.

² The Spirit of the LORD will rest on him—
the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding,
the Spirit of counsel and of power,
the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD -

Wisdom, understanding, counsel, power, knowledge and the reverential fear of God.. these are the Spirit that rest upon Jesus, which is the Holy Spirit sent to us.

Jeremiah 50 v 25

²⁵ The LORD has opened his arsenal
and brought out the weapons of his wrath,
for the Sovereign LORD Almighty has work to do
in the land of the Babylonians.

God has not only grant us a Helper, the Holy Spirit but also has even open up his arsenal to let you wage warfare with the devil whenever required. That's why we need to get in to the word and promise of God, grab it and start praying and fighting for what belongs to ours, what the devil had rob and short-changed us. Our promises, our blessings.

Align your lifestyle, according to what God wants, not what you want. And you will fulfil what He wants which is the GREAT COMISSION. Then your heartbeat will be beating for God.

So, what is your heart beating for today?

CONNECTED??!

In a marathon, what comes first in your mind? Track and Field? Stadiums? Athletes? Champions?

Champions. We see them as winners, extraordinary bunch of people. Champions no overnight winners. Hidden from the eyes of the world, they toil and train hard enough till they are ready to be the strongest. Being the strongest is not having strength or ability at the peak of performance, but being the hanging on, staying sharp and focus to the finishing line, having the endurances to excel in the midst of weakness.
In a marathon, The first 100 metres sprint and the last 100m dash for the finishing line does not count if one falls short in the middle of it.

How is this applicable to our lives?
ISCF camp 09' had concluded about 3 months ago. This is the time when we are back to our own lives. Camps can get anyone excited about God and after the camp, most of us will tend to fall back to how we live our life like how we live it before the camp. Most of the time, we get so connected with life and the world till we get disconnected with God.

What can WE do to keep the fire, keep connected and stay on, sharp and focus?
-Prayer
-Devotion
-Diligently seeking and reading God's word.
This is will be the training to stay sharp and focus.

WHAT IS PRAYER?

For true Christians, prayer is "communion with God".
Through prayer we actually experience relationship with God.
The quality of our prayer life then determines the quality of our relationship with God.
Prayer is talking with God. Prayer is listening to God. Prayer is enjoying the presence of God.
It can take many forms - for example: worship, confession, thanksgiving, praise, petition (asking for things), waiting (silent, listening and sensing of God) and warfare (command).
If we are baptized in the Spirit we can pray with the spirit, in languages unknown to us but not to God. (1 Corinthians 14:2,14).

Prayer is not simply saying words. It is not repeating formulas.
God is looking for heartfelt relationship. We are told by Jesus not to make meaningless repetitions of words when we pray. (Mathew 6:7). Tongues may be meaningless to our understanding, but it is not to God. In a future lesson we will give more attention to this subject.

WHY PRAY?

1. We pray because we love God. We spend time with God in prayer and communion because we love him. Just as a man and woman in love desire to be together and communicate, so we - if we love God - will desire to be with Him and to fellowship with Him in proportion to our love for Him.

2. We pray because we depend on God. God is our source. He is our life (Colossians 3:4). Through prayer we receive the comfort, the strength and all the other resources that we need in life - both naturally and spiritually. Prayer - relationship to God - is as necessary to the spiritual life as air to the natural life.

3. We need to pray in order to resist temptation. "Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation." (Mt. 26:41). Much sin is the result of the sin of prayerlessness. Through lack of prayer, we are weak, others are weaker and Satan gains the advantage in our lives.

4. We need to pray because it is necessary for men to invite God to act in salvation. God gave the earth to Adam and his descendants. We must invite God to work here. If no-one invites God to work here, Satan (the god of this world through man's universal rebellion - 2 Corinthians 4:4) will dominate the affairs of men and eventually the judgment of God will come. By inviting God often and specifically, multitudes can be saved that would otherwise be lost.

5. We need to pray because God commands us to pray. "Continue earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it with thanksgiving." (Colossians 4:2). "Then he [Jesus] spoke a parable to them to this end, that men ought always to pray and not lose heart." (Luke 18:1). The need to pray is as great as the authority of God which commands us: "Pray without ceasing." (1 Thessalonians 5:17). Prayer is so vital to all that God wants to do on the earth, and so essential to us, that God commands us to do it all the time. We should even deny ourselves sleep and food at times in order to pray more and with greater power. (Matthew 6:16; Luke 6:12; Luke 21:36; Colossians 4:2; 2 Corinthians 11:27).

What Makes Prayer Work?

It's all about a relationship!

God has created mankind so that we naturally hunger for a relationship with Him. He has built that yearning for Himself into our frame; He has encoded eternal longings in our spiritual DNA structure. The Scripture says, "He has also set eternity in the hearts of men" (Eccl. 3:11). The famous theologian, C.S. Lewis, wrote "If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world." (Mere Christianity)

Prayer is the bridge between Heaven and Earth. It is the conduit through which the spiritual realm is brought into our everyday lives. Prayer is the way our spirits breathe. Just as our lungs require oxygen and are designed to seek it out, so our spirits require the presence of God and are designed to seek Him out. Without His presence, we are left gasping for meaning and desperately seeking our purpose in life. We find ourselves trying our best to pray because it is as needful as air for our lungs. Prayer is the method God uses to provide not only our daily needs from food to shelter but also comfort, strength and guidance. The late E. Stanley Jones, missionary and preacher, wrote, "Prayer ... is the opening of a channel from my emptiness into His fullness." (Abundant Living)

Answers depend on the relationship!
You find yourself drawn to prayer, curious about prayer, or even desperate for prayer. Maybe you've tried prayer and prayer has failed you. Maybe you can point to unanswered prayer after unanswered prayer, proving that prayer doesn't work.
Does that describe you?
Welcome! You are at this Web site because God wants you to understand how you can have a fulfilling relationship with Him that will turn prayer from a fruitless exercise to an exciting adventure.

Prayer = Love
Prayer works in the context of relationship. Once the relationship is established, you will find that prayer is its natural expression. It is simply speaking and listening to your Heavenly Father. God wants to answer our prayers. Answered prayer is how He manifests Himself in our life and makes this relationship personal "For the eyes of the LORD range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him." Prayer is the intimacy that flows spontaneously from a loving relationship.

Imagine that you went into a restaurant with your father. Imagine that you and your father ordered your meals, and when the waiter brought them to your table, he said to your father, "That looks delicious. I want to try a bite of that!" Then imagine the waiter picks up a fork and helps himself to a bite from your father's plate. It would be inappropriate. You would be offended. You would demand an apology.

Now imagine that you and your father ordered your meals, the waiter brought them to your table, and you said to your father, "That looks delicious. I want to try a bite of that!" Imagine that you pick up a fork and help yourself to a bite from your father's plate. It would be natural. Your father would be happy to share his meal with you. It would be an accepted intimacy.
What is the difference between the two scenarios? Not the words. Not the actions. Not the intention. The difference is the relationship. The child has access to the father that the stranger does not. (Adapted from Live a Praying Life by Jennifer Kennedy Dean)

Prayer starts with the relationship.
We need to get re-connected. This will help us go on and on, staying sharp and focus to the finishing line, having the endurances to excel in the midst of weakness.

God bless =)

Luke 18:18-22

Basically this talks about sacrifices. Yes, indeed from the scripture we know that the rich inside the passage has not abused the law at all. But, what Jesus really requires is his sacrifices of his most treasured wealth. In the end, we know that this guy became sad.

In todays term, is not really about our wealth or the question of being able to give up everything for the cost of following Jesus(though, this might be the calling for some people). Is about able to let go what is really in the flesh. I know this is quite simple, but this can be the greatest struggle from what i can see and experince.

When exam time comes or whatever it maybe, we often struggle to go to church, pray and devotion and so on. We let the stress takes over us rather than we manage it properly, we begin to stop serving. I know it sounds good, studies! Then what? when everything begins to settle back to its original state then we begin to serve again and so on or whatver u can name it.

This kind of situation is just lk u treat God with contempt, just like when we were young(4-5 years old), the food that we dont lk to eat we give it to our parents or we just give people things that we dont want. I hope i am making sense. If this can be our attitude now, it might be worse.

Let's say next time u have a career, u have a wife,children and u are elder of the church. U go to yr wife or husband and said,"honey i am just gonna give 20% to u",next u go to yr children and do the same thing maybe in the range of 20% again. God,hmmmmm 35% and the rest is our career.

But thats not the way. Lets give our all to everything we do, 100% in everything we do, i know this is hard, Jesus never said is easy. Infact there is always comes with a price and what is really our priority. To be able to give our best in everything we do sounds insane, but how are we willing to pay the price?Abide in Him! Luke 12:48 says that when someone is given much,much will be requred in return, and when someone has been entrusted with much even more will be required. (I hope i am making a point here, or u can vote this post out.)

And another thing is that alot of us want the goodness and riches of Christ can give. We want so much of the anointing but we are not willing to pay the price of just praying. Is lk u want to do something to help a person yet u are just looking at it without taking any actions. But here is the truth. Romans 8:17 says that And since we are his children, we are His heirs. Infact, together with Christ we are heirs of God's glory. But if we are to share His glory, we must also share His suffering. Here is the thing that we need to understand fully as children of God. See the word suffering, it doesnt mean u will be in pain or sick, it talks about bearing the cross.
