It all started when he shared the dream he had with his brothers and father. A boy who was his father's favorite which was openly displayed by the Multi-colored coat he received from his father. He became a slave sold to Midianite merchants (took him to Egypt) by his own brothers. He was thrown into jail despite his faithfulness and righteousness. Whom I believe have learned that size is nothing; substance is everything. If you are thinking if this is Joseph son of Jacob, you are absolutely correct.<br /><br />We live in a culture where the greater we are the better, where size or position is the measure of success. I believe Joseph had a great perspectives on life; he did all things in an excellent manner, one who of integrity and served the people around him. From a slave to Chief of the household. From a prisoner to the Head of all those in the prison. From a mere commoner/foreigner in Egypt to a man in charge of Egypt (2nd in command under Pharaoh). His righteousness, in the short run, seemingly was not rewarded. <br /><br />His life went from lows to small highs. Yet, his faith in God remained remarkably matured. It was clear by the manner he interpreted the dreams of the cup bearer, baker and the Pharaoh when he said 'it is God who can interpret dreams' and gain no credit to himself. He walked in an unwavering faith, a heart which was not filled with criticism, unbelief, and doubt. Could he have been able to interpret his own dream and knew God's destiny for him. Thus holding on to the very promise from God even when all else seems to be at war with him. Has God forgotten suffering Joseph? He was hated, betrayed, sold, seduced, accused and even jailed. God who cares for us never loses track of us. God always made him prosperous/successful where ever he was.<br /><br />The appointed time came for Joseph to rise up when he needed to interpret the pharaoh's dreams and wisely gave a strategy to save the nation from famine. A man of character formed in the depths of betrayal and conspiracy by his own brothers, ripped away from his own family, falsely accused by his Master's wife, subjected to an unfair punishment by his own master and forgotten by the man he comforted in jail. He never asked 'why does all these happen to me?' He was not depressed, never grumbled or murmured. He never questioned the benevolence of his God. Then one day, he rose to Power, Prestige and Fame. God had vindicated him and raised him up to an exalted position. He stored up corn during 7 yrs of plenty, married into the Priesthood of On, fed people during the seven years of famine, wisely instituted a income tax of one fifth except over the priests, it was he who brought the Twelve Tribes to Egypt, where in time they would grow to nationhood. Thus his entire family had joined him there in Egypt, to share the best of that place. Was this just a remarkable turn around or what God intended from very beginning when Joseph shared his dream. The brothers intended it for evil (selling him as a slave) but God intended it so that many lives can be saved. Yes, God didn't turn the situation around for Joseph, it was exactly how He wanted to bring Joseph into Egypt.<br /><br />The end of a story signifies forgiveness and grace, family re-united and from which the blessings of God were appropriated and the remarkable fulfillment of God's promises and word. At 110, Joseph displayed a greater act of faith which extraordinary when he believed God's promise about the land inheritance. And his instructions and made the sons of Israel swear an oath to carry his bones out of Egypt to the promised land. He was later put in a coffin in Egypt. Then the next book of bible (Exodus) begins some 400 years later which God spoke of in Genesis 15: 13.<br /><br />(FAST FORWARD to Joshua's time) Joseph's bones which the Israelites had brought up from Egypt, were buried at Shechem which today is known as Israel (the promised land). Joshua was Joseph's descendant and what a privilege it must have been for Joshua in fulfilling Joseph's desire and witnessing God's faithfulness generations after generations. <br /><br />The chapters in the book of Genesis also reveals the importance of Joseph not only to the history of Israel, but also to the history of Egypt. That's Joseph's legacy!

They may not admit it, but I certainly saw many red eyes! This is a powerful show which I believe will touch the hearts not just of married couples but also teach our youth how to treat their future partners with love and respect the way God has intended us to.

Kirk Cameron stars as Caleb Holt, a fire chief in a small town who gets respect from everyone except his wife. Katherine, played by Erin Bethea is the public relations officer of the local hospital. Caleb and Katherine fight about everything. Their marriage seems to have no hope, but Caleb’s father asks him to take 40 days to work through a personal journal to change the way he treats Katherine. Caleb agrees, but Katherine is already interested in a doctor at the hospital. Only faith in Jesus Christ and repentance can save their relationship.<br /><br />The ending to FIREPROOF is powerful, emotional and in many ways unexpected. The Kendrick brothers, who also made FACING THE GIANTS with help from their church in Albany, Georgia, display an incredible amount of talent. Their story is perfectly plotted. Kirk Cameron does an excellent job turning Caleb into a real person. Despite its low budget, FIREPROOF is a stirring presentation of the power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the power of God’s amazing grace.</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05212808497130811778noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1143775303461656872.post-57324236635107334882009-07-13T15:47:00.005+08:002009-07-16T15:21:30.764+08:00=) What if His People Pray- Casting Crowns<div style="text-align: center;"><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/AutK7PvUX6M&hl=en&fs=1&"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/AutK7PvUX6M&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></div><br /><span style="font-size:180%;">A beautiful song</span> to bless your heart, as we go through this season of 40 days of prayer and fast.<br /><br />Let's lift up and dust our sword; and PRAY<br /><br />Be blessed and be a blessing.<br /><br />=) Ps SanUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1143775303461656872.post-24403595496437249542009-04-17T15:39:00.006+08:002009-04-17T16:34:57.553+08:00Eunice's Wedding 18 April 09<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWq2HZBcBkQSw3P0zyAS0C3p8LGkaCM_68bPljxPf8ENTUhoqeuaGJ0iozfA45E6DzYizSeSP2OZc9_a6anp51TZrfNsDFzvnDvXGVCvqol8sh2DZXhCnL7bBnyMmIw3hP-ATfXCg3IHg/s1600-h/Wedding+Card_Cover_Web.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUk_hPaA8xW1FbuaFOhyi8UegyZTKJxqLe6Y92oFanjBZwSE5bn5fhbor-YNYV1nVrY6Hm8zPpTTDB9wxD3D1P0dBSi6Bw5bFz2fBCoVtalpCK4FT6ytuaoIKKBBTNXfM_RKlVibUpIbQ/s800/Wedding+Card_Cover_Web2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325574559603475858" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:180%;">Weddings are always special </span>as they symbolise the love and commitment that two people are prepared to give to each other till the end of their days. Of course, it becomes even more special when the groom is one's brother, and the bride, a close sister-in-Christ. For both Eunice and Sebastian, I believe weddings are also about the community of friends and relatives. Most of you would have heard Eunice inviting you to her wedding tomorrow. If you didn't, know that you are! (from Eunice) Join me in sharing in their joy and celebration tomorrow. :)<br /><br />Cheers,<br />JoshuaAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05212808497130811778noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1143775303461656872.post-12870679875931722652009-04-12T12:04:00.001+08:002009-09-02T08:51:09.417+08:00Session 12, Pastor Lawrence Khong<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in -15.2pt 0pt 0in;"><b style=""><span style=" Tw Cen MT";font-family:";font-size:16pt;color:red;">Destined for the throne (the blood of the crown)<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style=" Tw Cen MT";font-family:";font-size:11pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style=" Tw Cen MT";font-family:";font-size:11pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><b style=""><span style=" Tw Cen MT";font-family:";font-size:11pt;">Blood at the crossroads</span></b><span style=" Tw Cen MT";font-family:";font-size:11pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 1.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style=" ;font-family:Wingdings;font-size:11pt;"><span style="">§<span style="Times New Roman"; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;font-family:";font-size:7pt;"> </span></span></span><span style=" Tw Cen MT";font-family:";font-size:11pt;">Because we believe God for greater things and therefore we choose the blood at the crossroads.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 1.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style=" ;font-family:Wingdings;font-size:11pt;"><span style="">§<span style="Times New Roman"; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;font-family:";font-size:7pt;"> </span></span></span><span style=" Tw Cen MT";font-family:";font-size:11pt;">Every decision we make to do certain things to glorify Jesus instead of satisfying our own will (which goes in the opposite direction), we’re claiming the power of the blood shed at the crossroads!<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style=" Tw Cen MT";font-family:";font-size:11pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style=" Tw Cen MT";font-family:";font-size:11pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><b style=""><span style=" Tw Cen MT";font-family:";font-size:11pt;">Blood of the crown<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 1.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style=" ;font-family:Wingdings;font-size:11pt;"><span style="">§<span style="Times New Roman"; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;font-family:";font-size:7pt;"> </span></span></span><u><span style=" Tw Cen MT";font-family:";font-size:11pt;">THE CROWN OF FRUITFULESS!<o:p></o:p></span></u></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 1.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style=" ;font-family:Wingdings;font-size:11pt;"><span style="">§<span style="Times New Roman"; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;font-family:";font-size:7pt;"> </span></span></span><b style=""><span style=" Tw Cen MT";font-family:";font-size:11pt;">Romans 8:30 </span></b><span style=" Tw Cen MT";font-family:";font-size:11pt;">“And those He predestined, He also called; those He called, He also justified; those He justified, He also glorified.” = <u>GOD WANTS TO GLORIFY US</u>!<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 1.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style=" ;font-family:Wingdings;font-size:11pt;"><span style="">§<span style="Times New Roman"; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;font-family:";font-size:7pt;"> </span></span></span><b style=""><span style=" Tw Cen MT";font-family:";font-size:11pt;">God is exceptionally proud of you!

Purpose<br />2. Strength<br />3. (eh, not mentioned?)<br /><br />Romans 8:9-10 <span style="font-style: italic;">“You, however, are controlled not by the sinful nature but by Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ. But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, yet your spirit is alive because of righteousness.”</span><br /><br />When you go through hard times, just rest in God -> then you’ll see the miracle.<br /><br />Rest in God = trust Jesus = knowing He has everything under control!<br /><br />You might feel discouraged and feel like giving up = this is normal! However, you should NOT really give up! Press on NOT depending on your own strength but on God's strength.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">3 issues that prevent us from going in the Spirit and doing God’s work:</span></span><br />1. Thinking that God will use someone else better, not me!<br />2. Thinking that God will never use me given that I am nothing at all!<br />3. Using my own strength instead of depending / resting in God!<br /><br />Know that God’s love and blood <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">NEVER FAILS</span>, because <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">IT IS DONE</span> at the cross…Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05212808497130811778noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1143775303461656872.post-36728481810269426132009-04-05T02:33:00.005+08:002009-04-05T02:46:16.666+08:00Session 5: Not Just Pure Blessings, Those Who Can Do It Really Do Have Skills! (Ps Lawrence Khong)<span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" >The Cell Group Agenda</span><br />1. To love one another (part 1)<br />Inside cells we must minister <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">(EDIFY)</span><br />- That we see God’s answered prayers<br /><br />2. To love one another (part 2)<br />Outside cells we must multiply <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">(EVANGELISE)</span><br />- If not we’ll just keep focusing on our own problems, or worse, we start focusing on others' problems i.e. gossiping!<br /><br />3. To train each other to love<br />Cells must mobilise <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">(EQUIP)</span><br />There are 3 levels of learning:<br /><br />a. Cognitive (Knowledge) - you have to KNOW HOW IT’S SUPPOSED TO WORK<br />b. Psychomotor (Skills) - you have to KNOW HOW TO DO IT<br />c. Affective (Values) - your heart has to be transformed and WANT TO DO IT!<br /><br />You impart it not by sending people to class. You need to create a culture in the cell that everyone in the cell does it! Then when new people join, they see that it is the only value/option that everyone does, therefore they will do the same too!<br /><br />John 13:34-35<span style="font-style: italic;"> “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35 By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">Reason for cell gatherings</span></span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">MINISTRY AND EDIFICATION </span>must be the explicit, main reason of cell groupAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05212808497130811778noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1143775303461656872.post-47976219501733998282009-04-05T02:00:00.003+08:002009-04-05T02:32:47.559+08:00Session 4: When I Change, Everything will Change (Ps Cesar Castellanos)<span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">TREND:</span></span><br />A rejected/wounded soul -> has a BRAND MARK on them -> attracts other rejected/wounded souls!<br /><br /><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">SOLUTION:</span></span><br />Jesus was rejected too and He overcame the cross, so that you too can break free from this trend/mark/past of rejections! What do you have to do? REMOVE THE OLD, TAKE IN THE NEW. Not to integrate with the old, but to totally REMOVE THEM ALL.<br /><br />2 Corinthians 5:21 <span style="font-style: italic;">“God made Him who has no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.”</span><br /><br />When you worry, start with <span style="font-weight: bold;">TRUSTING GOD </span>and His power over all things, and not whether you have the resources to solve the problem.<br /><br />When God made Adam, He made him a king of the world. Yet when Adam fell, he lost his kingship, he lost his crown. The ground was cursed, and the curse is represented by thorns and thistles.<br /><br />Therefore, when Jesus wears the crown of thorns and thistles, Jesus’ blood that flowed washed away the curse. <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">BELIEVE, CLAIM AND DECLARE</span> that power in the blood of Jesus! The power of conquest.<br /><br />Isaiah 54:2 - <span style="font-style: italic;">God will enlarge your territory if you believe you can do it. YOU MUST WANT THAT SUCCESS. Arise!</span><br /><br />How much time do you need to be a man or women of God to create an impact on your nation?<br /><br />It is not a matter of time, it is a matter of WHETHER YOU BELIEVE.

A church with cell and a cell church are <span style="font-weight: bold;">DIFFERENT!</span><br />- Traditional church - Cell ministry is a only a department, just an option<br />- Cell church - Cell IS the church<br /><br />2. Cell church<br />- Acts 2:46-47<br />- The church is in the lives of the community, not just a ‘Sunday thing’<br />- Hence, nothing competes with the Cell<br />- All resources will support the Cell, not activities that will take people away from the Cell<br />- It is a Vision-driven movement, not just another programme<br /><br />There are 2 kinds of small groups in the G12 cell church:-<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">1.

If you were there throughout, I pray too that the notes will remind and impress upon your heart again the things God was speaking to you about, so that you might live your life differently today.

Why? Because it is prayer that allows us to draw near to the heart of God. In prayer we commune with our awesome heavenly Father. Prayer gives us access to the ear of God, enabling us to fulfill His purposes in the earth! And in prayer, He actually shares His deepest desires and purposes with us.<br /><div style="text-align: right; font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Alice Smith</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Co-founder and Executive director of the U.S. PRAYER CENTER</span><br /></div><br /><br />This week as we pray, let’s learn to:<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">1) Bless the Lord</span> - Acknowledge the goodness and greatness of God<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">2) Inspect the Walls</span> - Allow the Lord to open our eyes to see the conditions of our lives<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">3) Claim His Promises</span> - Rebuild the walls through His promises<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-size:180%;" >Bless The Lord</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">Acknowledge the goodness and greatness of God</span><br />Declaration:<br />Declare and thank God for His goodness in our lives<br />Proclaim His goodness and greatness using Ps 103<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-size:180%;" >Inspect the Walls</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">Allow the Lord to open our eyes to see the conditions of our lives</span><br />Listening & Intercession Time:<br />Let’s learn from Nehemiah, to inspect the walls of our lives, individually and corporately, and ask God for revelations over the areas of lives that are broken and destroyed.<br />As you seek the Lord for His revelation, jot down the points and start to ask God how to pray over these broken walls.<br /><br />Nehemiah 2:11-13<br />Nehemiah Inspects Jerusalem's Walls<br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">11 I went to Jerusalem, and after staying there three days 12 I set out during the night with a few men.
