Zechariah 4:6 -

So he answered and said to me, "This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: 'Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,' says the LORD of hosts."

Hmm... Memory verse for today's young people meeting... A great encouragement indeed.. not only to Zerubbabel, the governor of Judah then, but also to me :) This verse was spoken in the context when Zerubbabel had led a group of Israelites back from exile to build the temple of God. Well, after they had laid the foundations for the temple, they faced a lot of adversities and opposition from the neighbouring countries and some 小人 to build the temple of God. So over the time, they gave up building the temple and one would also expect Zerubbabel to be very discouraged about the situation then.

It is then that Zechariah came in and spoke this word of encouragement to Zerubbabel to tell him to be strong and continue on the building of the temple because the LORD will be the one that is building the temple, as clearly stated in Zech 4:6. His Spirit will be there leading, guiding and completing the whole building of the temple.

Hallelujah for such a word! Recently, i had faced a situation similar to Zerubbabel in that i'm feeling quite discouraged about my living in hostel and how the gospel work in NTU is so not prospering and also the fact that I had become slackened in the giving out of gospel tracks and blah blah blah... all these things seemed to be discouraging me and i'm feeling so depressed all of a sudden... :(

But then during the meeting, the Lord miraculously spoke to me through this verse that actually I don't have to feel sad/discouraged/depressed when things don't really go the way I wanted, especially in the doing of His work; because it is He who will be doing ALL the work and all I have to do is to trust in Him, faithfully carry out all that He has said and let Him do the rest. Since it was He who put me inside of NTU to do His will, He will definitely do it all the way and makes sure that He does it through His supervision.

So what else can I say? But to give thanks to Him!!! Thank You Lord Jesus! Thank You Heavenly Father for such an assurance! Blessing and honor and glory be Thine forever! Amen!

Yipee... Today's the second meeting early in the morning with the saints at NTU. It's quite nice actually to pursue the Lord early in the morning coporately, although it may be tiring for most of us. But I thank God that He cause me not to be tired during the meeting because I slept real real late last night after watching some idol drama :s

ANYWAYS! Today, we pursue and pray-read John 3 for our campus pursue/morning watch. Then the take "home" verse for me was John 3:30.

"He must increase, but I must decrease."

Ok, the verse is quite short, but the impact is there ok!! Basically, this is the attitude that we need as Christians in order to follow the Lord closely and also to live out the fact that we are truly Christians.

AND also to my friends out there who have not believe in the Lord, the Lord has given us a warning with regards to that... may the Lord continue to speak to you all and soften each one of your hearts.

John 3:36
"He who believes in the Son has everlasting life, and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him."

Gesundheit!

John 2:16-17

And He said to those who sold doves, "Take these things away! Do not make My Father's house a house of merchandise!" Then His disciples remembered that it was written, "Zeal for Your house has eaten Me up!"

These are the verses that I enjoyed the most when the NTU saints (Rei min, Sze lang, Sis Shufang, Bro Bok woon, Bro Joachim, and myself) came together this morning to have our weekly pursue on John chapter 2.

Hopefully the pursue timing is finally fixed... :P
And we are all waiting for you all yvonne and jingfang... :pp

Tschüs!
