Gratitude..meet IVAN MAK:)

surprised with the picture on your left? :)

This post will be dedicated to my dearest brother Ivan Mak Mun Wai.(this is NOT an obituary post! lol) A guy that I met 5 years ago in church, haha, never knew we would grow up to be this close.

From a playful boy, growing up to be a man of God.

A guy saved through Jesus Christ despite of his sinful past and present trials and future falls(if there is any, hopefully not).

A expert drummer-to-be for God.

A man that is obedient and willing to cling on to the desires of the spirit.

Hates exclusivity!

Willing to point out people's mistake and telling them the truth, like a prophet who speaks the truth in the past, and not like those false prophets who speaks just to please men.(This I can truthfully testify and I thank him for that)

A man trying to run the opposite way.

A strong and humble person who is willing to walk two miles with you when you just asked for one mile.

Willing to sacrifice for others.

Willing to lay down his life for Jesus.

My brother, Ivan Mak:)

No excuse..

Guys and Girls, have you ever felt the urge or temptation to do something bad and sinful before? I am sure everybody do. But have you ever come to a point where you felt like saying things like, "God, I can't do these, I just can't do it, I am just too weak, I'm just tempted beyond my capability." or thing like that? maybe yes maybe not. But, honestly sometimes i feel so.

However, is that the truth? that men will keep can't stop sinning till the day men dies and have new restored body? Hmm.. I do wonder but i give no comments, except-read the verse below and think for yourself:)

“No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.”-Corinthians 10:13

Prayers

I started off my school's morning prayer session this week. For the first 3 days it was just me alone but as i prayed for more people to come, 2 of my dear friends came along for Thursday and Friday. So i really want to thank God for that answered prayer:)

I really wonder what's so special about morning prayer. I mean, each time i go to the place we meet up for prayer, a feeling of freshness just come to me, and as I read just a small portion of the bible, it just sticks with me the whole day. Of course, that comes with a price of a chance getting caught by the school authorities for this "illegal" meeting. So far so good though:P

So, guys and girls (who are still in school) , if there has not been a prayer meeting in your school, i suggest you innitiate one too. Even Jesus when He's on earth often prayed right? There's just something really powerful and special about it.

Yet, always remember that the purpose of prayer is not that so people can see how holy we are, nor is it to fulfill a "duty" if you are starting one:)

Thanksgiving:)

First of all, before i post on anything, I would like to thank Joel Lee for speaking last Saturday for WinGS, about are we "drifting to salvation" or "fighting for life". It teaches, reminds, and encouraged me to fight on this war that all of us Christians are to face. Thanks Joel.

School.. School.. School...

2009 is the last year for me being a student in Victoria Institution, my last year to serve my school. It is also the year i will be sitting for my SPM. What a year.

As i stepped into my school on that early morning, so many good old memories of my school just comes to me. Memories that i know i will cherish it though i don't know why. However, as i walk into the school, God also put the desire in my heart to see my school turn back to God.

Being responsible for my club/societies/sports/board/class and having to take SPM at the end of the year, I really feel the stress and tiredness that is being aroused by it. So as you read this post, i really hope that you will help me to pray for the items below.

1) That God would pour His grace and mercy upon my school and there will be a revival in my school. That students will begin questioning about their faith and one day turn to Jesus and really cling on to Him as their God, Lord, Saviour and Treasure.
2) God would help me to stay humble and strengthen, me as I do His will.(I really do feel very drained sometimes)

I really appreciate all those who has been supporting me all these while. Thanks alot:) May God be always glorified in whatever we do:)
