A city on a hill cannot be hidden

With this destiny from the Lord, I will run with fire raging with passion for the lost, for the broken, I will not look to material, I will seek God's heart where there is an abundance of everything...






Tell me why,
Why you've got your secret locked inside?
Why you trying to keep it for your own
If he asks for bread
Tell me why, why you giving him a stone?

You know,
The reason for the hope
That runs your soul
The reason that you're sleeping peacefully
Wasn't meant to be undisclosed
Oh, don't you know

When you live in a city on a hill
You've got to shine your light
When you live in a city on a hill
You've got to shine your light

Go and tell
Go and bring them water from a different well
Running with your candle into the blackest night
To be salt and light
To the wide wide world

Cause when you live in a city on a hill
You've got to shine your light
When you live in a city on a hill
You've got to shine your light

Your heart is filled with wonder
Your cup is running over still
When you live
In a city on a hill

Shine your light...

Be lifted high

I will not let the devil win
spending a day worrying or being upset
about something that I can't do anything
to change.







'Those who went ahead and those who followed shouted,
"Hosanna!"......."Hosanna in the highest!" '

"The church 2000 years ago worshiped and so will the generations to come."

Aliens and Robots

Before I start, How Teng, the Freedom Fighter wants me to mention her here.

We were made for the purpose of having a purpose and serving it.
We were made not to not have a mind of our own, be sheep, follow crowds.
We were made to run, run the right race and finish to receive the eternal prize.
We were made by default dealing with supernatural realms whether we liked it or not.
We were made to serve someone so amazing but yet we constantly break His heart.
Aliens and Robots, two kinds.
We are meant for something so great, unimaginable, incomprehensible, to fight a race that was won
I can't wait!

Alien,
Bye (:

Bring Joy Back

 
We've all got problems. I mean, I could write for life about my problems but I know I still have a reason to praise Him. I'm aware of the consequences of not studying and writing songs all day long more than ever. The truth hurts but I can't do anything so I've decided to listen. After...I realised the swarming number people I love dearly but they don't know what's in store for them. Aw man, I could cry a bucket full of tears now but I have to do something otherwise I'll just be inhuman. Seriously there's no joy left in the world. I mean internal, eternal, permanent, not based on circumstance joy, unspeakable joy, your problems are still there but there is joy, joy. People need that. So I'm off to battle...I'll be back.

On my knees, I pray You help the blind see

Save them
The blinded, the discriminators, people who think you're nothing but just a story, a fairy tale.
Give sight to those who regard You as a slave of other gods.
Give strength to those who don't have any to accept the truth.
Let the seed be sown, as long as it takes, somehow.
Give us strength to harvest the crops.
Let the fruits grow, in us, in them.
You are very real indeed.
Save them

Gratitude

Worship is a divine privilege, and with that privilege comes a great responsibility
to show generosity to others in the body of Christ through all we do.
We should never leave worship to the pastors and worship leaders.
We all need to learn to be excellent, extravagant worshipers,
generous in our service to one another and generous in our expression
of love toward one another - it will change the dynamics of this harvest.





I am full of gratitude, because You saved me.
Though i've failed you so many times, You still answer me.
It's so relieving to hear Your voice echoing in the darkness.
To know that i am safe, I truly thank You.

It's so comforting to feel Your warm embrace
in the cold, I was so scared but now i know.
Nothing can ever cease You from moving,
nothing can stop You from saving us.

Though i long to give back to You what You've given to us,
nothing that i do can ever compare to Your everlasting ways.
I wait for the day we hear the trumpets roar, to see Your face.
I wait to fight the finishing battle together with You, triumph is on its way.

He brings salvation

But, in the end He will defend us
and right the wrongs that have been done to us.
He will bring us out to the light;
we will live to see Him save us.
There is no other God like you,
You forgive the sins of your people who have survived.
You do not stay angry for ever,
but you take pleasure in showing us your constant love.

I'm in total awe

Above us only sky


Thank God I'm not The One



What ever You're doing inside of me,
It feels like chaos, but somehow there's peace.
Though it's hard to surrender to what I can't see, 
I'm giving in to something heavenly
It's time for healing, 
time to begin again,
re-evaluate what I really am.
"Choosing to worship all the time,
My circumstance doesn't change that God is still God,
It doesn't change what I am called to be.
He's still at His throne."









I wonder why Your love is so great.
Why I feel you even when I'm about to break.
How genuine You are when care is concerned,
I've never felt such a warm embrace.
At darkest moments You are stronger than ever,
At my brighest hour, I lift You up higher.
There's no one else worth living for,
the one who died for my ransom.
I'll never comprehend and grasp the concept of love You provide,
You're the one I'll constantly abide in.
When all else fails I'll run to You,
You draw me back to You.

When all else fails...




If your negative emotions get on top of you,
pessimism and passivity sets in.
One of the worst effects of letting our negative emotions
get on top of us is that they make us feel
alienated from God.
Be joyful and glad regardless the circumstances
around you.
When all else fails worship Him,
there you'll find fulfillment.







JOKE TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


A police officer pulled over an older couple and said,  "You were speeding and you weren't wearing your seat belts."
The elderly man scoffed and replied, "Prove it. I just took off the belt to talk to you!"
Nonplussed, the officer turned to the wife. "Ma'am, your husband was speeding and he didn't have his seat belt on now,
did he?"
"Officer," she replied, "after forty years of marriage I've learned never to argue with my
husband when he's been drinking!"

I can't love You enough for what You've done

You're always my shield from danger,
You give me victory and You restore my courage.
I call for help from Your sacred place,
yet You take time to answer me
I sleep with such great peace upon my mind...
I know You'll protect me.
I am not afraid of thousands of enemies,
You leave them powerless to harm me.








Funny story

Three people Elaine, Jolina and Francis sitting at Pastamania having lunch.
Elaine and Jolina are eating, they got served first.

Moments later, * Stomach growls *  "Why is my food taking so long??? I'm sooo hungry
I KNOW!!!!!! Must be God testing me on my patience, I shall wait. " * Grins * says Francis.

"Go read John chapter 5's heading" says Jolina.

*Flips....*        

John 5, 'Jesus heals the LAME man.'
