Totally in love...

My eyes are on You
My hope is in You
I will follow You
All the days of my life...

God, I have a question...

Why do you choose me. I mean, see, there's this this and that that... why choose me. I am comfortable in my own corner. I mean I am not slacking. I just like my corner. So that no one notices me, and I do my own thing, for You. No one sees, but You see. Enough already. I am quite happy. I mean I am not a superstar, or can even do what You want me to do well.

But...

But you know God, since you insist.. I guess you are insisting... You keep looking at me... never say anything (that I want to hear) one... So long as You are looking, I will say yes. Cos whatever I am doing, so long as You are looking, I will do lah. Ar bo... :) ok ok, I think you are using the foolish things of this world to prove something. Can lah... will do. I'll be a fool for You. Anything. Of course lah... who ask me to love You... You love me I love You... it's like dat one lor...

You have called me chosen
For Your kingdom
Unashamed to call me Your own

Fully in Love with You...

[songs from the house of prayer...]

I just want to be found loving You
I just want to be found wanting You
I just want to be found knowing Truth
I just want to be found fully in love with You
Fully in love with You...

You put this hunger inside
You put this longing in me
(Tell me) Where can I find You...

Keep me without offense
Until the day I see You
Keep me without offense
Until the day of Christ
(Let Your love abound, so full...)

Fulfilling God’s destiny for our lives

(A) KNOWING OUR CALL

First of all, we need to recognize that all of us have a destiny in Christ.

Calling = what God has destined for us to be and to do.
To be – who we are in Christ
To do – what are we to do

Knowing our calling gives us HOPE, a sense of purpose.
Eph 1 – to know the hope of our calling.

Corporate (as the church) – Calling as a body of Christ and when Jesus returns

Specific (as an individual) – Calling in this life

(B) WHAT THE BIBLE TELLS US ABOUT OUR CALLING...
(1) Our calling is fixed by the Lord
Romans 11:29 For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.

(2) Our calling does not depend on our human talent or effort (works).
1 Corinthians 1:26For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called.
2 Timothy 1:9who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began...

(3) We need to be faithful to live out our calling
Ephesians 4:1I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called...
2 Thessalonians 1:11Therefore we also pray always for you that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of His goodness and the work of faith with power...

(C) WHAT IS OUR RESPONSE?
Two fold response - 1Chron 12:32

1. Corporate
Understand the Times - Revealing of the Mysteries of God (Bridal Paradigm, Israel etc) & The Message of End Times.

Knowing what to do - Well versed with what the Bible says about the Bridal Paradigm and End Times. Rise up as a forerunner and be a Voice of God.Build the House of Prayer as we see the Day approaching. Trumpet the call for the Anna’s, Mary’s, David’s etc to come.

2. Individual
Understand the Times - What is God’s season for my life now? Where I have come from? Where I am going?

Knowing what to do - How shall I respond? What do I need to do?

(D) OVERCOMING POTENTIAL PITFALLS
(1) Run to win
1 Corinthians 9:24; Acts 20:24Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it.

(2) Persevere till the end
2 Timothy 4:7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
Acts 20:24But none of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.

(3) Cast away every weight (cares of life, deceitfulness of wealth etc) and sin
Hebrews 12:1Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us...

(4) Guard Your heart (in the face of persecution, opposition...)
Proverbs 4:23 Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.
Learn the carry your heart like King David, who chose not to take things into his own hands, even when he is right and opportunity comes in his favour. Though he may not do things 'rightly' in our view, God says King David has a heart after God... that spells volumes, doesn't it?

(5) Rest in the Lord and be faithful
Matthew 11:29-30 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

Matthew 25:14-29 Parable of the talents...
‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’


(E) CONCLUSION
Serenity Prayer - Ask for wisdom
Rest in the Lord – Do not strive, know God’s grace and faithfulness.
Keep a pure heart...

I've got you covered

[the latest song playing in my car...]

I've got you covered
Philip Craig & Dean

A scene so familiar at the old five and dime
The little boy waited his turn in line
And with eyes so intent he proudly displayed
The candy he’d buy with the money he’d saved

The girl at the counter wasn’t sure what to do
‘Cause the money was less than the price that was due
Then a stranger spoke up from his place in line
Said whatever he’s short just take it and add it to mine

chorus:
I’ve got you covered, I’ll pay the difference
You don’t have to worry at all
Whatever the cost is, I’ll go the distance
If you fall, I will catch you
You know I won’t let you, feel like you’re there all alone
I’ve got you covered

Sometimes when I look back it’s hard to explain
Just how far I’ve come yet how little has changed
I still long to hold what seems so out of reach
Only to find out it’s not what it seems

I come to the Father alone and afraid
In need of forgiveness yet it’s so far away
I cry out for mercy a child so in need
With a voice of compassion the Father calls out to me

I know what you’re facing,
I see where you’re standing
I’m holding all the answers you need
‘Cause no situation will ever take you out of My reach

Friend of God!

[from one Ms Ng to another Ms Ng. God calls you His friend... He says, this one, she is Mine, this one, she is My friend... God of our universe is thinking of you! And he surely hears you when you call! ahh....]

See video here! http://www.phillipscraiganddean.com/media_01_wmv.htm

Who am I that You are mindful of me?
That You hear me when I call
Is it true that You are thinking of me?
How you Love me
It's Amazing

I am a friend of God
I am a friend of God
I am a friend of God
He calls me friend

Who am I that You are mindful of me?
That You hear me when I call
Is it true that You are thinking of me?
How you Love me
It's Amazing, so amazing, it's amazing

I am a friend of God
I am a friend of God
I am a friend of God
He calls me friend

God Almighty
Lord of Glory
You have called me friend X3

I am a friend of God
I am a friend of God
I am a friend of God
He calls me friend

James 2:23
"And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” And he was called the friend of God."

John 15:14-15
"You are My friends if you do whatever I command you. No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you."

I'm Yours!!!!!!!!!!!

songs from the house of prayer...

Light up my life with a love so bright
(That) I'll deny anything with a lesser glory than knowing You
Than knowing You..

(And) Unlock my soul in a way I've never know
(Won't you) Come into Your garden and find Your home in me
Find your home in me...

Cos I'm Yours
All Yours
I'm Yours
I'm all Yours...

Burn all the bridges
Burn them down behind me
Move every mountain
So nothing stands between my heart and Yours...

Rain or shine
I am Yours
You are Mine

You are the Way and
You are the Truth and
You are the Life
There is no other one...

No matter what the world may say
The promise of Your coming is near
Is near...

Please just talk to me... 8-)

songs from the house of prayer... 8-)

For men does not live by bread alone
You've got me hanging on every word

So speak to me
Talk to me
Please, please just talk to me...

Put Your strength in me
According to Your word

For just one word
Just one word
Just one word from You
Could shatter a thousand lies

So kiss my soul
Kiss my soul
Kiss my soul
Strengthen me according to Your word...
