How Jesus took his exam?
To start off…
Ecclesiastes 7:2
Better to go to the house of mourning
Than to go to the house of feasting,
For that is the end of all men;
And the living will take it to heart.
Death is the end is to be taken to heart…
The end of everything is a good thing and it should be taken to heart.
Do you feel like dying each time you comes to exam period?
Is it like knowing death is near you and you can do nothing about it?
So should you also consider that to be a good thing and take it to heart?
Today, I want to share about a story of Jesus Christ going for his examination.
Matt 26;
36 Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to the disciples, “Sit here while I go and pray over there.” 37 And He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and He began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed. 38 Then He said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch with Me.”
39 He went a little farther and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, “O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.”
40 Then He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “What! Could you not watch with Me one hour? 41 Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
42 Again, a second time, He went away and prayed, saying, “O My Father, if this cup cannot pass away from Me unless[e] I drink it, Your will be done.” 43 And He came and found them asleep again, for their eyes were heavy.
44 So He left them, went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words. 45 Then He came to His disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners. 46 Rise, let us be going. See, My betrayer is at hand.”
A few days before Jesus goes to examination, he studied very hard…
Just like everyone he feels weak, sorrowful and stressed.
But I do need you guys to take note the things he did during that period of his study – he study 1hr and then he constantly reminding himself not to fall into temptation by praying. He also found rested after an hour of study.
Then when he studies finish, he tells his disciple to go for his exam….
For all knows Jesus did went into the examination halls, and had his Death (exam) taken.
And 3days later, he had his result back….
So did Jesus pass his exam? Yes/No..
I nt sure he pass or not.. but I know he had overcomes it, and done with it already.
Matt 28
18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore[c] and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.
After getting the result, Jesus said that go make disciples, teach them what you have observe.
Another example, if now you have to go back to take your PSLE… will u have fear like now for your exam?
Luke 24 (NIV)
44He said to them, "This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms." 45Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures.
Just like the starting verse
Ecclesiastes 7
8 The end of a matter is better than its beginning,
and patience is better than pride.
Study is something to gain knowledge, result is second, have faith in the lord is 1st. at the end of the day you will realize all things you worry about is just like a fool chasing winds… but if you have gain patience with what God had put you through…. Rejoice coz you are ready to teach another open up their mind to understand.
Sometimes is not really about the result, of coz getting a good grade is awesome, but there also a reason why you did not get what you wanted… but you must have patient to realize and understands why this happening to you, so that one day you will also succeed.
Jiayou all students.... Wendell, Wenkai, Xiuhui, Alex Love, Cally and Agnes

Hey still remember those day when I was still in primary school. Remember those composition title we were told to write. Some famous topics are, "It was just a dream", "When I grow up", "It was a stormy afternoon....", "A close shave"

Hi people... I was really very excited seeing all my old old classmate. Those were the days when the best fare was only 25cents and my pocket money was only 50cents. Can you see how time fly.....
Hi... Last week sermon was awesome sia... See how Pst bring two sport brand coming together. When you believe.... Nothing is impossible. That the 1st step of our Christian walk.... But when we want to grow into maturity.... We just need to "Just Do It"....
When God is with you, Nothing else matter!!!! Let really see we ending with God well in 2009 and 2010 will be a year of breakthru!
"When we believe, Nothing is impossible, Just do it!"
Quoted by Alvin Isaac Koh
Anyway Tx Kai... For the good encouragement.... Being trying very hard to improve my Ang Mo.. So please talk with me more...
Story 1 (The boy and the rabbit)
Have you even came across this experience? Once there was a young guy. He was being given to him a rabbit as a birthday gift. At first, he was think.... Why did he receive this gift as a present? He totally not a very animal person. (He used to own a pet hamster for a long period of time, but due to some mishap the hamster die)
So he didnt really care about the rabbit much. Just provide it with his necessarity. Occassionally he will play with the rabbit. And soon, the relationship between this too became cold. "The rabbit was so cold that it die..." The young guy was deeply in pain and sad... Now he understand what had he done.
3 yrs later.....
His dad brought him to the same old pet shop. This time his dad as him to pick a new pet. He saw a cute white rabbit looking at him...
"WILL HE CHOOSE THAT RABBIT AGAIN"?
Sometime the past cannot be rewritten... It can either be an excuse or be a learning experience for you to decide your future...
People... we can either let our past hurt become an excuse for us not to face it again, or we can make it as a learning experience to make our future better.
2000 yrs ago, He die for us, so that today we can make this decision....
In the end, the boy choose the rabbit and left the place.......
Story 2 (6 x 6 = 18)
Is 6 x 6 = 18?
To a normal person, 6 x 6 is 36 never 18. But if you really go and think hard and look at it hard. 6 x 6 is 18.....
flip the equation up side down....
81 = 9 x 9
Sometime things cant be look at 1 perspective... but you must look it from another person point of view.. This is the world we live in....
Till next time... Gonna carry on with my designing of the new HDB project... Wish me luck =)

Last Sunday went shopping with my best bro... Adrian and Bum. He was looking for a bed frame at IKEA. Seem like most people like to go to IKEA to get their stuff.
Anyway, I came out with a theory, buying your bed is like choosing the right partner. Haha.. If you buy something too hard, you get a hard time with her. And if you buy something too expensive, you will have a hard time trying to let it acustom to your humble surrounding.
Take a look at what Adrian choose...
Look pretty cool right? And it pretty cheap, $249 only. This bed is "power", it too me only a spilt sec and I am gone. lying down thinking of "WaWa" Land.
Thinking about bed frame, I think its time for me to showcase some of my proud collection, that i had alway dream of having it.
1. My all time favourite (Solid Bed: Cfm no back ache)
2. My Crush (Yo-Na)
3. My Dream
That all people. Hope you have find yourself a right partner too....

Luke 5:36-45
Then He spoke a parable to them: “No one puts a piece from a new garment on an old one; otherwise the new makes a tear, and also the piece that was taken out of the new does not match the old. And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine will burst the wineskins and be spilled, and the wineskins will be ruined. But new wine must be put into new wineskins, and both are preserved. And no one, having drunk old wine, immediately desires new; for he says, ‘The old is better.’”
Wine = God’s grace and truth
Wineskins = our mindset
Jesus is basically telling us that there will always be a need for new structures (wineskins) to contain new life (wine).
He is referring specifically speaking about the eternal truths in an ever-changing world.
Methods will tear or burst if we try to fit the new things that God is doing into the old. To say, "This is the way that we've done it before" becomes an old wineskin or garment fast.
Our responsibility is to see what God is doing in our generation and do the best that we can to facilitate new methods for truths that never change.
1. Wake Up!!
Decide to have a good day.
"This is the day the Lord hath made; let us rejoice and be glad in it." Psalms 118:24
2. Dress Up!!
The best way to dress up is to put on a smile.
A smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks.
"The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart." I Samuel 16:7
3. Shut Up!!
Say nice things and learn to listen.
God gave us two ears and one mouth, so He must have meant for us to do twice as much listening as talking.
"He who guards his lips guards his soul." Proverbs 13:3
4. Stand Up!!
... for what you believe in.
Stand for something or you will fall for anything.
"Let us not be weary in doing good; for at the proper time, we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good..." Galatians 6:9-10
5. Look Up!!
... to the Lord.
"I can do everything through Christ who strengthens me". Philippians 4:13
6. Reach Up!!
... for something higher.
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not unto your own understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge Him, and He will direct your path." Proverbs 3:5-6
7. Lift Up!!
... your Prayers.
"Do not worry about anything; instead PRAY ABOUT EVERYTHING." Philippians 4:6
A POSITIVE THOUGHT:
If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it.
If He had a wallet, your photo would be in it.
He sends you flowers every spring, and a sunrise every morning.
Whenever you want to talk, He'll listen.
He could live anywhere in the universe, and He chose your heart.
What about the Christmas gift He sent you in Bethlehem; not to mention that Friday at Calvary.
Face it, He's crazy about you.
Faith, Hope and Love. Let Love Abound the most...
Proverbs 3:9-10
Honor the LORD with your possessions, And with the firstfruits of all your increase; So your barns will be filled with plenty, And your vats will overflow with new wine.
Bringing our firstfruits to God is simply a way to honor Him. When we do so we are proclaiming that He is Lord of all of it.
What a coincidence that those who honor God from their wealth are usually found not to be in lack. In other words, if you feel you don't have the money to give you can't afford NOT to give to God. Don't let the over exaggeration of the "health and wealth" preachers take away from the Biblical truth that God promises to materially bless those who honor Him. He wants to bless His children, but He wants them to give that blessing back to him.
Each tithe and offering is a deathblow to the idolatry of materialism.

Hi...
Things being going pretty slow in my life. Being very busy with LoveAbound. Coming up with the latest issues. I promise you reader, this would be yet another issues that will blow your mind off.
Recently being doing alittle bit of bible reading. Came across 2 King 6:1-7, talking about the floating axe. Do take a look at the passage to have a better understanding of it. The axe head and the stick represent the our belonging. some time we are alway willing to use this belonging to do the things of God. Our money for tithing, offering and even building fund. And when crisis happen, we withhold it. Just like in the passage, when the axe head was being lost in the river. The servant stopped and ran back to Elisha.
People this sound like some of us here, for a stay we maybe so passionate in giving God whatever that he had installed in our life. Our talent, our gifts and our finances. But when things happen to us, we withhold from God.
See how Elisha, due with the problem. He threw back the axe stick into the river. A miracle happen, the axe head and stick started to surface above the water. Friends sometime our answer to our solution is just a stick away. So when you face any difficult in your situation. You have being sowing for a breakthru, but instead of breakthru u find urself in even more debts. God is testing us, whether are we willing to throw in our Axe stick into our problem too.
Anyway thank for staying throught with me. Must really force myself to write more..... looking forward to stay a new fellowship grp. Called the MakaSuTrine grp. DO STAY TUNE on more inform about it. Till next posting See ya
Faith Hope and Love, Let Love Abound the Most.

It ALWAYS depends whose hands it's in.

Hi all... its really being a long long while since i last post. To be exact it was 320 days since i last post.
Things are going from bad to worse, worse to bad, bad to worse, worse to bad.... Sometime I really felt that why have this things gonna happen to me. But I know, no matter what gonna happen to me, I know for sure, He will be standing at the finishing line waiting for me.

The Holy Alphabet
Although things are not perfect
Because of trial or pain
Continue in thanksgiving
Do not begin to blame
Even when the times are hard
Fierce winds are bound to blow
God is forever able
Hold on to what you know
Imagine life without His love
Joy would cease to be
Keep thanking Him for all the things
Love imparts to thee
Move out of "Camp Complaining"
No weapon that is known
On earth can yield the power
Praise can do alone
Quit looking at the future
Redeem the time at hand
Start every day with worship
To "thank" is a command
Until we see Him coming
Victorious in the sky
We'll run the race with gratitude
Xalting God most high
Yes, there'll be good times and yes some will be bad, but...
Zion waits in glory....where none are ever sad!
Gtg... See ya in the next post.
