I am part of the "Fellowship of the Unashamed."
The die has been cast.
I have stepped over the line.
The decision has been made.
I am a disciple of Jesus Christ.
I won't look back, let up, slow down, back away, or be still.
My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, and my future is secure.
I am finished and done with low living, sight walking, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, chintzy giving, and dwarfed goals,
I no longer need pre-eminence, prosperity, position, promotions, plaudits, or popularity.
I now live by presence, lean by faith, love by patience, lift by prayer, and labor by power.
My pace is set, my gait is fast, my goal is Heaven, my road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions few, my Guide reliable, my mission clear.
I can not be bought, compromised, deterred, lured away, turned back, diluted, or delayed.
I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of adversity, negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity, or meander in the maze of mediocrity.
I am a disciple of Jesus Christ. I must go until Heaven returns, give until I drop, preach until all know, and work until He comes.
And when He comes to get His own, He will have no problem recognizing me.
My colors will be clear.

The economy of the Kingdom of God is quite simple
Every new step in the Kingdom cost us everything we have gain to date
Everytime we cross a new treshhold it cost us everything we now have
Every new step may cause us all the reputation and all the security we have accumulated up till that point
It cost us our life
A disciple is always ready to take the next step
If there is anything that characterizes christian maturity
It is that willingness to become a beginner again for Jesus Christ
It is a willingness to put our hand in His and say
' God, I am scared to death but I will go with You because You are the Pearl of Great Price'
- John Wimber
If you want to see the visible results of this level of demonic power respond to your authority
you got to do the hard work of preparation- fasting and praying
- Dr. A.R. Barnard
I believe in hardwork and in paying the price.

Haha I truely have no idea what happen to the photo on my blog but it seem to have disappeared.. but oh well, I am not really going to bother about it and hope it re-appears or something... hahaha.. got better things to do at the moment..
Anyway, it was really quite funny when I scrolled down my own blog and look through my achieves to see all the old photos and all the funny things I wrote last time.
Amused by them myself.
haha! we all look so different! Saw photos of Marcus and Howteng when they were younger. They have all really grown up man. Man and Woman of God now(:
Anyway some people really blew me away..
Firstly, it is Jerome. It was really so awesome talking to you on msn the other day and finding out that you were listening to Pastor's sermon cd on the 7 things I hate about christianity when you were taking a break from your study. Many people would have played games watch some shows or something. But you really hungered for the word of God! You are indeed radical!(: All the more when you had exams the next day. It really spoke much about you and your value system! Way to go!!(: Keep doing all that you are doing, keep hungering for more of God and his word. You will definately grow!
Seeing Jason See making a decision to use the best years of his life to serve God really touched me..(: days ago, I recieved a message from Jason telling me how he decided that he wanted to put his focus on God and believe that as he stays faithful to God, God would definately stay faithful to him.
While his peers in school and life are trying their best to succeed in life, get girlfriends and have fun all day long, this man decided to make a stand in his life.
Gotta think, he is already 19 this year. Normal for him to want to achieve more in life. But yet, he lives by his convictions.
Inspiring.
Not only that but I told him a few days ago to do a card for Jorine and he made it really nice! Put in so much effort drawing the card, choosing patterns that Jorine loved and drew them on. You gotta see it for yourself when Jorine recieved the card.
It was a priceless emotion.
You changed a life(:
Because you cared enough.
Truely proud to be leading you..
Stand guys, STAND!
