Hey. It has been quite some time since Emerge is over. How are you people doing? hmmm.. Just wondering how many of us still keep in contact with each other? Hope we still do. We shall all go for JC outing after our A levels! Breakthrough is ours to get. wonder how many of us are still holding on to the visions that God had given us during emerge or even our daily quiet time. still remember during the period of "emerging", all of us had one united vision of seeing revival in JCs. How many of us are still believing it?
I remembered my subzone once had a prayer meeting with pastor yk and he said something which is really true. If we want to see revival in our schools, we must first have revival in ourselves. We must carry the passion and fire for God before we will be capable of doing what God wants us to do. If we lose the fire halfway, how are we going to carry on? Do we still have the faith and tenacity to hold on to all the visions?
I blogged before in the older posts, Matthew 24 :12 And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. It seems to be so true. Even as the Day of the 2nd coming is drawing near, I see my friends one by one turning away from God instead of turning to Him for solutions. It's really sad to see friends that once was on fire together for God and now one turning away when the other is still holding on. I see backsliders coming back to God, and I also see people backsliding from God. Guys and girls, let's continue the race together! Hebrews 12:1-2 Let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
God I pray that all of us will hold on to you, not just the visions and dreams that You 'd given us, but also the relationship and the promises that we have with You. Continue to be so real to us. Love You Jesus.

Emerge is over, so is POS. i'm sure for many of us, it's a wonderful experience, a time where we learn and grow. and i'm really very proud of everyone in this JC Cluster, for all the hard work and sacrifices we've put into our performance. also, i think we really did a great job during POS. the energy level that we bring forth is amazing. even though we may not come in as champion, we still have 400dollar marche voucher!! we can still go and celebrate after our mid years.
i'm really very thankful for every single one of you for giving me such a great experience this emerge. i really treasure the fellowship that i could have with u guys. there were lots of fun and laughter in our mist, and they never fail to brighten up my day no matter how terrible i felt.
even though EMERGE may be over, but it's really a new start for all of us, a new start for a greater revival in our respective junior colleges. let's not forget the work that God has done in our lives the past few days, but do keep it close to our heart, and let's desire even more for a JC revival!

This is a post I actually wrote in my blog for a friend who was going through a rather tough time in his Parental Objection, but I thought it was something that I should share with all of you as well because I feel it is true for all espects of a Christian walk: be it PO, evangelism/outreach, your christian walk itself, etc. So Yup, here goes:
If what you're going through now feels like an uphill battle, well, it is. We're not going to deny it. Becoming a christian doesn't mean that life from the moment of salvation onwards is going to be smooth, on the contrary, it's going to be tough, a tough battle against the evil one who will try his hardest to take your soul back to be with him in his final fall into the abyss. He's going to fail, and he knows it, and he wants to take as many souls down with him as he can. You have to keep fighting; keep on keeping on, and don't give up. If you quit now, you're only letting the devil win.
You see, the way of the world is broad and easy, but the straight and narrow road is the only path to salvation. Remember how we said a Christian's life is like an uphill battle? Well, here's why we say that:
When you climb up a mountain, oxygen becomes scarcer, and you depend more on your oxygen tank for survival. The higher you go, the more you need it - this is like your walk with Christ. The higher you go up in spiritual maturity, the more you'll realize you need to lean on the strength of Jesus in order to continue on in your daily walk.
And then there's the increasing difficulty the higher you climb. Not only will you depend more on your oxygen tank now, you will need to breath harder to climb higher in the next step, and each step becomes more labourous. Each step will become more trechrous because the higher you go, the lesser people have ever explored these 'unchartered' parts. Because higher, means harder, and less people are willing to push themselves to keep on going. It's the same in a christian walk. The more mature you want to become, the more you'll realize that there will be less and less people supportive of you or who are there with you because not many will have the strength to go on, and not many will have the endurance to brave the unknown. If you think back even further, sometimes even right at the very base, you will find that there will be friends and even family members who oppose to your convertion to christianity in the first place and will have many 'freak stories' to tell you and discourage you. Don't let that happen, trust in the only every lasting truth - God - and keep pushing on.
Sometimes you will feel like you're losing; that you can't see even a peek of the sunrise you wanted to see, and it looks like nothing but fog, avalanches, blizzards and snow storms line the way, but trust me, the end result is very much worth it. Afterall, ask any of the climbers that have braved mount everest or any astronaut that has landed on the moon. It wasn't easy to get there, and not many people could do it, or even wanted to do it. But in the end, the view from the summit of it all was worth it. And besides, even in the world of the natural, if it was not for these brave men and women who were willing to risk everything to discover more or our unknown world/universe, we would not have access to such a broad bank of knowledge that mankind so heavily depends on today. And we would not have succeeded as far as we have if not for couragous explorers who sacrificed their comforts for the betterment of the rest of humankind.

Heya one and all, Amanda here. Currently stuck at home instead of queuing outside Hall 8 as I usually am by this hour cuz of various illnesses... anyway, not the point of this entry lol Just suddenly thought of this song when I read the title of this blog so yup, here's the lyrics:
Light of the world
You stepped down into darkness
Opened my eyes
Let me see
Beauty that makes
This heart adore you
Hope of a life spent with you
Here I am to worship
Here I am to bow down
Here I am to say that
You're my God
You're altogether lovely
Altogether worthy
Altogether wonderful to me
King of all days
Oh so highly exaulted
Glorious in heaven above
Humbly You came
To the earth You created
All for love's sake
Became poor
Here I am to worship
Here I am to bow down
Here I am to say that
You're my God
You're altogether lovely
Altogether worthy
Altogether wonderful to me
I'll never know
How much it costs
To see my sins
Upon that cross
Here I am to worship
Here I am to bow down
Here I am to say that
You're my God
You're altogether lovely
Altogether worthy
Altogether wonderful to me

Hosea 4:6 - My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will rejecr you from being My priest. Just a verse to share it with you guys. I do not know the knowledge mentioned here refers to Biblical knowledge for the actual knowledge we learn in school. Whatever it is, any of them is equally important to us for us to walk in His light and to excel and shine for Him. Amen? Left by Bay²

Revival in JC. This phrase has been on our lips for the past one year. This is what we want for our schools. Let's have the burden for the lost, our friends who is not saved yet and that we may bring REVIVAL to pass. Erm... aniwaex.. Let's work hard for our A' level and Glorify God.Ken```
