Becoming of a man...
Hi guys!
Remember the question bout 'do you 16 to 26 years old is time you'll experience the most dramatic changes in your life?'
Well, as i have share with some of you, for me personally, it has been the most life changing time. From going to school with uniform to wearing street wear trying-to-look-cool clothes in college to dress down beggar-style in uni to shirt and pants while working. Its been verydifferent in each stage, aqnd in the 8 years, i have basically went through at least 8 different major phases of life. And that does not include the Christianity aspect of it.
Oh no...wanna go eat, hope i can update later

Armour of God
Hey guys,
Been a while since we last met, anyway, just a little update, i'm gonna get the book today, and we will probably start doing the book together on this coming friday. So hope you guys can make it this friday. I read through the first few chapters, and i can tell you, it is really exciting. Hope to get you guys into the mood too! So, this friday, is gonna be the first time we will actually run the cell like a cell. We are gonna have ice breakers, worship and also reading and using the book! So, hope you all will be excited! (Russell, pls try to make it this friday ok? Be a good boy la! AHahahhaha)
Ok, anyway, so i went for post encounter yesterday, and pastor mentioned something very true, DHL, so what is DHL? Discipline ----> Habit -----> Lifestyle.
Basically, in simple terms, for a human, it is a routine, we must first start with discipline, and this means forcing yourself to do something, then after a while, it becomes a habit, something that i will feel a bit uncomfortable if you don't do it, and finally, it is a part of your life that you cannot afford to live without.
So guess what, i thought about it and told myself, ok, i wanna change my style of quiet time. I wanna have like a solid 1 hour quiet time! But, as usual, it didn't happen, the positive side of it is, i had 45 min of quiet time!! Woohoo! And also, i really had to force myself to wake up at 5 just to do it, and if u do the math, if you wanna do for 1 hour, u wake up at 5, so if i did 45 min, means? I woke up at 5.15 am lo!aahahah, geuss where the other 15 min went to? hehe..snoozing the alarm clock. So, gonna try again tomorrow morning.
Ok, just a short sharing of my quiet time, Besically, it comes from Ephesian 6:10-18
And from this verse, i learn that satan can only have a foothold in youe life IF you allow him to. Because, we are not struggling against man, but against the dark forces (Wah, like star wars). So, when we struggle against things that happens daily, like whether or not to finish your homework, whether to go arcade or quarrel with parents or siblings, we are not struggling because these things are out to find trouble with you. But you are struggling to fight against the dark forces to live a Godly life!
So, from the verse, 3 points to help us overcome and prevent satan from having a foothold in our life.
1. Be strong in the Lord and His mighty power.
Know that God is above all, and since we are His son and His heir, we can draw power from God. Sometimes it is not easy to fight against thigns we know is wrong, so what can we do? Easy la! Ask God to help lo! You will realise after a while that prayer is very powerful, especially when overcoming temptation!
2.Put on the full armour of God
Belt of truth - truth sets us free, and holds us accountable and allows our life to be in one piece and not crumble and fall.
Breastplate of Righteouness - To have righteouness in our heart, the breastplate protects our heart and vital organs (in real terms). So having righteouness protects our heart from the evil one aso!
Shield of Faith - Faith allows us to move forward and fend off negative thoughts because when you have faith, you are believing in what you do not see, and therefore faith comes as a shield as it allows us to fend off the attacks of the enemy because we believe that God has already overcame sin for us.
Sandals of peace - When we have peace, we can move freely and not be tugged down by negativity of life! Woohoo!! dont you want it!
Helmet of salvation - The helmet guards our head and the salvationthru Jesus sets us free, so when we battle evil thoughs in our mind, know that the salvation thru Jesus allows you to be free and to overcome the evil thoughts!
Sword of the Spirit- The word of God is our weapon. We must have the word of God in our life to be able to charge agaisnt the enemy!
3. Be prepared!
Put on the armour of God so that when the enemy comes, you may be able to stand your ground! We need to be prepared with the armour because if we only wear it when we see the enemy attacking, we might be oo late and the situation may be chaotic. Imagine in a war, when you see the enemy charging, then only you start to get ready, what will happen??
So, Are you wearing the armour of God today?
Are you allowing satan to have a foothold in your life?
Which areas are you allowing satan to have a foothold?
How do you want to overcome it?
So, hope this will inspire you guys a little!!
Gotto work now! Lol..see you guys!
