Blessings of keeping the fear of the Lord

Hehe...sorry for late update guys. Well, here's the update for last week. Worship was lead by Wei Lim a.k.a Chester. Thanks a lot for worship leading. You did well dude!! Well done *claps*.

Lets just get to the main point. This is the best part which everyone wants to know. Have you ever wonder what will God gIve you if the fear of the Lord is in you? Guess what, God is going to bless you with many things if you have the fear of the Lord in you. God had called us to fear him. Here's what he says in Psalm 33:11, Come, my children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the Lord.

Blessings :
-Proverbs 10:27,
The fear of the Lord adds length to life; but the years of the wicked are cut short. ( You will have long life if you fear the Lord. If you don't then your life will be cut short!)

-Psalm 128:1-6,
1 Blessed are all who fear the Lord, who walk in his ways. 2 You will eat the fruit of labor; blessings and prosperity will be yours. 3 Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your house; your sons will be like olive shoots around your table. 4 Thus is the man blessed who fears the lord. 5 May the Lord bless you from Zion all the days of your life; may you see the prosperity of Jeruselem, 6 and may you live to see tour children's children. Peace be upon Israel. (God will bless you, your family, your wife, and your children. God will also make you prosper!!)

-Proverbs 14:26, He who fears the Lord has a secure fortress, and for his children it will be a refuge (God will protect not only us, but our family)

-Proverbs 15:16, Better a little with the fear if the Lord than a great wealth with turmoil. (God will give us joy and peace if we fear him that to have money but no peace and joy)

-Proverbs 19:23,
The fear of the Lord leads to life: Then one rests content, untouched by trouble. (We will have life when we fear God. There will be no trouble unless if God let you have trouble for other reasons)

-Proverbs 22:4, Humility and the fear of the Lord bring wealth and honor and life. (If we have humility and fears God, we will be bless with wealth, honor and good health)

-Proverbs 23:17-18,
17 Do not let your heart envy sinners, but always be zealous for the fear of the Lord. 18 there is surely a future of hope for you, adn your hope will not be cut off. (Do not be jealous of people who sins. Thus, God will surely provide a perfect future for you)

That's all dude. If there's more then I'll add in..hehe. Go and read the bible and you'll see the changes in your life!! Don't give up guys. Even the best falls down sometimes cause none is perfect in this world except God!! So, start carry the cross and go on with your journey. Remember, the bible is very important that can really build up your faith.

Lesson on Proverbs! 12th September

Tada~! Here we are again!

Today , the worship was led by Willert consisting team members, June, Kent, Andy, Wei Lim and Jeremiah for his first drumming in HG ( i think so)! XD

Andy!

Right after the worship session, 5 minutes break!
Pastor continued in his, Lesson on Proverbs.. last week, it's about Godly wisdom where we use our wisdom to apply in our life! Today, pastor shares about The Fear of the Lord. Hey, what you think about fearing the Lord?


If we have the wisdom of God, then we have the fear of Lord! But of course, first we need to read our bible lah!
So, understanding is to LEARN the bible and practicing what Lord teaches us!

Moreover,
And of course, if the Fear of the Lord is wisdom, what you understand from the wisdom must be practiced. And there shall be, Depart from evil. When you fear the Lord, you read Bible, then when you practicing what is written in Bible, you will depart from evil and sin!

It also stated here that, if we follow his precepts or ways, we will have good understanding.. It's just like Additional Maths, if you know follow way / formula your teacher teaches you, you will get understanding for the subject! Haha.. Wei Lim gonna hate this! XD


A lot of people, they don't fear the Lord, and just do their own things (ignoring God lah).. If we have that kind of perception, God will ignore us too and guess what? When you met problems and prayed to God, God MIGHT ignore you too..

Back to departing from evil, we also need to hate evil! What is the use if you depart from evil but loves evil and promoting it? It's like , Didn't do what is bad but make other people fall into doing wrong things.. Songs for example, a lot song has its own teaching, philosophy from the singer. Some songs give wrong teaching.

You might think "It just a song only what?" But, actually when you listen to it, your sub-conscious brain starts to pick what it contains! It's one kind of indirect hypnosis..

After the session, we had a new activity! Thru-out the sermon, pastor encourages us to read our bible. So, Bible reading it is! XD around 15 to 30 minutes we read the book of Mark first 2 chapter.. Good start for those hardly read Bible anymore!

Ye' gentlemen =D

Ye' gentlewomen =P

Ye' pastor XD

His Generation : 4th September 2009

Lessons on the book of Proverbs..

Hola dudes. Last friday worship session was lead by Chrsitina. Thanks for the wondeful time of worship. Musicians were June, Kent, Andy, Ivan and Chester. Thanks for playing^^. After the wroship session, we prayed for all His Generation alumni. We also collected offerings. Soon, we prayed for Wei Qin and Jeremaiah who are taking UPSR examination. Pls do pray for them and for the form 5 & 6 students.

Soon, pastor preached on the book of Proverbs. Guess what? This book really open my eyes. Its all about knowledge and the fear of the Lord. In Proverbs 1:2, the word wisdom is the ability to use knowledge to solve problems. It teaches bout having self-controll and discipline. We really need this to understand sayings with deep meaning. In verse 3, (for acquiring a disciplined and prudent life) Prudent here means wisdom to live discipline and successful life. We'll learn what is right and wrong. So we can make a good decision in everything we're doing. It also teaches us to be honest(very important). This is to ensure we dont cheat or lie in any situation. Fair is inculded too. We should be fair to everyone, but how? Think for yourself guys =)

Verse 4, so from these, an ordinary person like me and you all can learn to be smart. When we are smart, we wouldn't mess up our lives. This will help us to endure our hardship in this earth and in the end, we can say this " I have run this race well, I have keep my faith strong, Here I am waiting to see you Father". Young people can gain knowledge and good sense. Eg: "I had decided to do this for the following reasons..." , "he seems like a nice guy but i think he's only trying to impress me". This can help us to make a right choice and prevent us from falling into traps.

Verse 5, For those who are already wise, reading proverbs will make u even wiser. Verse 5-6, Let those with understandings receive guidance by exploring the meaning in these proverbs and parables, the word of the wise and their riddels. Guidence is really important in our walk with God and making decisions. We need to ask God to guide us in every area of our lives to make good decisions. Its really important. So those who need guidance, please pray hard^^.

Verse 7, So how do we start being wise? What are you going to do? Do you want to be a fool? Only fools reject wisdom and good advice. So what are you waiting for? Lets start being wise by Respecting and obeying God. Remember guys, keep his commandments safe.

After the sermon, we have prayed for the fear of the Lord to be in us. Then we sang a worship song and went out for dinner. Thanks guys for the great fellowsip at Mac Donalds^^
