Character

Ever wonder what is the meaning of character ? John Maxwell illustrate character is just like ice berg. 4 % of the ice berg on top of the water represent our talent. 80 % to 96 % of the ice berg which is underneath the water is our character.

Character is describe as part that is unseen or our real self when no one see what we are doing. We need strong character to hold our talents and gifting. If we have great talent but lousy character, our talents and giftings will not last.

3 practical ways to build our characters :
a) Best use our adversity
Hellen Keller : character can't be buld in normal time. Only through suffering, it will create
character and vision.
b) Do the right things
Choose to do the right things. When we do the right thing, it will cause you everything. Our
choice will determine our character.
c) Take control of our life
Edaward Young : Doing thing you need to do, then you will do the thing you like to do.

Some of the scientific facts of Ice Berg
Because the density of pure ice is about 920 kg/m³, and that of sea water about 1025 kg/m³, typically only one-tenth of the volume of an iceberg is above water.

Life Is Short ...

My plant engineer came into my room this morning. He informed me one of the staff was not coming to work due to his twin brother had met with an accident. I think it is surely hurt for him to lost someone so dear to him. I had this experience before and I truely understand that kind of feeling. It was not easy to overcome and move forward.

It reminded me that our life is short. We will never able to predict what is going to happen next. But we can always ensure that we live our life worth for His calling. Never look back what is already pass. Focus what is in front of us. I been reminded by Kong Fu Panda quote :

Life is what we create for, yesterday is history, tomorrow is mystery and today is gift.

Phi 3:13-14

13Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

Wonderful Saturday Morning ( 6.6.09 )

How you normally spend your Saturday morning ?

Last Saturday morning was a wonderful morning for me. I woke up at seven then did my quiet time. 8.30 am, I fetched a sister from ministry house to eat curry mee near by the beach.

I always enjoy eating curry mee in one of the famous shop there. Not because it taste extremely good. But I enjoyed spending my time near by the seaside.

We purposely ate our curry mee in that shop because this sister had never tried the curry mee there even though she had been staying in Kuantan for a long time. Good to know that she enjoyed eating the curry mee.

When we were going to pay our money, I met one of our youth that got converted many years ago in Hope Kuantan. He is working now....going to open his own design studio in KL. All the best, friend...

So many wonderful things happen in this Saturday morning. Thank God.

Special Morning ( 3 June 2009 )

This is a special morning for me. Even though, the water filter of my aquarium was working very hard to pump the water……But for me, it is still a quiet morning. I know God is here and He is going to speak to me.

I am asking God. What can I expect for tonight healing teaching. God showed me a picture of a small tree. On the tree there are lot of dews. What are these dews represent?

God said new things and time of refreshing. God I will wait for you to come and refresh the church.

Deu 32:2 My teaching will drop like the rain, my sayings will drip like the dew,1 as rain drops upon the grass, and showers upon new growth.

In the afternoon as I checked from the online bible dictionary for the meaning of dew; I noticed that dew representing time of refreshing. Please see the explanation below :

Dew is the means of refreshing and reinvigorating all vegetation. Many Scripture references carry out this idea. The song of Moses says, "My speech shall distill as the dew" (Dt 32:2). "A cloud of dew" (Isa 18:4) refreshes the harvesters. "My head is filled with dew" (Song 5:2). "Like the dew of Hermon" (Ps 133:3). "Thou hast the dew of thy youth" (Ps 110:3). "Thy dew is as the dew of herbs" (Isa 26:19). Job said of the time of his prosperity, "The dew lieth all night upon my branch" (Job 29:19).

God's Calling

June 3, 2009. Prophesied by PT again. “God’s calling” appear again in the prophecy. I though prophecy 1 ½ years ago about God’s calling in my life was just a coincident. I told God, You must be calling the wrong person. I don’t know anything about leading Your church. I have nothing special that I can offer to You. You must be kidding.

But tonight, God confirmed again. Not only confirmed but rebuked me as well. At first I though it was just a prayer to receive more power and anointing to do His work. But PT started to prophesy. He first prayed for a brother. Then he came to me and prophesied for me. I still can remember vividly what God said to me through him.

“Do not look at your inability, do not look at your inadequacy or talent. Do not look at your circumstances. Look at God. Look up to God. Tap on God's power. Be faithful to God’s calling. Be faithful to God’s calling”

God… You are so understand and so personal. Even to the little though I have… You know. I can’t run away from You. You can see through me.

I can’t sleep after back from the prophesy session. Overwhelmed by what God wants to do in my life. Where shall I start ? How shall I prepare myself ? It is a big task. I might not able to do it. I have fears. I have insecurity. I have no ideas at all….

God speaks to me :
Exodus 4:10-16 (New International Version)
10 Moses said to the LORD, "O Lord, I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to your servant. I am slow of speech and tongue."
11 The LORD said to him, "Who gave man his mouth? Who makes him deaf or mute? Who gives him sight or makes him blind? Is it not I, the LORD ? 12 Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say."
13 But Moses said, "O Lord, please send someone else to do it."
14 Then the LORD's anger burned against Moses and he said, "What about your brother, Aaron the Levite? I know he can speak well. He is already on his way to meet you, and his heart will be glad when he sees you. 15 You shall speak to him and put words in his mouth; I will help both of you speak and will teach you what to do. 16 He will speak to the people for you, and it will be as if he were your mouth and as if you were God to him.

I waked up from my stubbornness. Lord, let Your will be done. Let Your kingdom come. Use me if I am the choosen one. Not according to my way but Your way.
