Be Strong and of good courage!!!
Hi guys,
I am awaken well partly due to the fact that they are renovating my block early in the morning but also by the many stuff that are happening in the CG!!
Please really keep Vincent, Li Yun and Cyra in prayers- the devil is not happy we are doing so much to see people getting saved and bringing people to the Lord.
- Vincent's family they are going through some transition in their family business. Pray for Vincent's dad to find a good job and that the family will have a financial breakthrough. Pray that the family will get stronger as they go through this together!
- Liyun's parents are unhappy and not going to let us use the house for CG but on top of that, they also not happy with liyun coming out for Cg and events. Pray for Liyun's parents- Pray for favour and pray that God will intervene on our behalf against the lies of the devil.
- Cyra's mom burned her bible and locked her up at home so that she cannot come for church. pray for breakthrough and pray that God will make a way.
On top of all these, Pray for the 3 of them as well, pray for strength and courage as they go through these.
guys, i know that you guys would be reading this- be strong and of good courage, realise how all these are after we talk about and make a decision how we want to grow the cg, grow the connect group, how we want to reach out to the polys. this is not coincidence, this is WAR!! but always remember that
God works in ways we cannot see- let's believe God that in the midst of all these, He will turn things around for us and everything will be alright!
Also, let's keep the 'O' levelers in prayers- Kenneth, Xiu Yuan, Wui An, Chloe, Jia Wei, Jia Cheng, Alan, Wan Hong and the many friends that came before!!
and for the rest, let's pray that God will keep us strong and protect us always!!!
Take very good care of yourselves!!! loving you guys lots!!!

STEPPING STONES TO GOD
An aching heart is but a steppingstone
To greater joy than you've ever known,
For things that cause the heart to ache
Until you think that it must break,
Become the strength by which we climb
To higher heights that are sublime,
And feel the radiance of God's smiles
When we have soared above life's trials.
So when you're overwhelmed with fears
And all your hopes are drenched in tears,
Think not that life has been unfair
And given you too much to bear.
For God has chosen you because,
With all your weaknesses and flaws,
He feels that you are worthy of
The greatness of His wondrous love.
So welcome every stumbling block
And every thorn and jagged rock;
For each one is a steppingstone
To God, who wants you for His own.
For discipline in daily duty
Will shape your life for deeper beauty;
And as you grow in strength and grace,
The clearer you can see God's face;
And on the steppingstones of strife,
You reach at last eternal life.

Aight!! Here to put my 1st entry & I still don't know how to add colours.. LOL..
In point form, Here is the Sermon from Saturday's service, 13th Sept.
"Son/Daughter-ship" - By Pastor Kong
God
- Builds HIS churches by Generations and through Mature Relationships.
- These Mature Relationships are built by having Sons and Daughters throughout the world.
A Son of God.- "Son" in Greek, means a Mature Person who can be established with Responsibility.
- He is Capable and has the Capacity to carry the Passions of the kingdom.
- Has the ability and responsibility to build the house of God.
The House of God
- Can only be built by Sons and Daughters, not by servants or members.
- This is as a Son/Daughter carries the specific Genetic Code of the house of God.
- A Son/Daughter of God can be seen from the resemblance of the elements from the house of God.
Difference of a Son & Member
- A Son shares the heart of His Father while a member or servant listens to instructions from his superior.
- E.g. A Servant serves when told, A Son serves without being told and without question.
Requirements Of Son-ship
- Son-ship requires unconditional love
- As being a Son, ADOPTION is a Two-Way Street cause Love works both-ways.
- Process of Discipleship is like feeling in Love.
- With Faithfulness comes Promotion
The House of God
- Is a place of Visions & Dreams
- The Gate of Heaven
- The Altar of God on Earth
With Son-Ship
- God will be faithful to his word
- Blessed life
Bible References
Psalm 127:1-5, Romans 8:14, Hebrews 3:1-6, 1 Corinthians 15, Philippians 2:19-22, 2 Timothy 1:7, Genesis 28:16-17, Genesis 12:1-8, Genesis 13:1-5, Genesis 28:11-20.
The topic on "Son-Ship" will be continued next Service.
Love, Laurel
