New Things - New Passion

What are the NEW things you want to see happen in your life this year?

Isaiah 43:18-19
Forget the former things;
do not dwell on the past.
See, I am doing a new thing!

2 Cor 5:17
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation;
the old has gone, the new has come!

New is always exciting. New generates anticipation.
New captures attention. New is not boring.
New is just simply fun by it nature.

Today I went to "Da Yau" with our HUSc guys. It is a song composing concert organized annually in UM. The crowd was huge. The cheers was certainly loud! The atmosphere was indeed warm and loving too!

I can see that this "DaYau" thing has indeed sparks wonders in people's lives.
In "DaYau", new songs will be sung either by the composer themselves or by a talented singer.
A chance of opportunities for the younger generation to express themselves in creative ways.
A voice from the inner soul to the outer world.

New song just excites people.
In fact, new things just by it nature turns people on!

God also wants to do new things in our lives too.
He asks us to leave behind the old things and go for the new!
Perhaps a new vision in God. A new breakthrough in our relationship with Him.
A fresh start of falling in love all over again with Him!
A new passion for God.

God wants to start new thing in us individually.
Forget about the past failures or even successes.
Take a new adventure with God today!
And see how He turns your life in a new way!
Ways that you never expects before.

So start a new day with new expectations in God.
He will be doing new things in your life today!
And start to experience that excitements in your life!
Greater things are yet to come!

What is Your Passion?

Passion.

Indeed, it's been a great one this time for BC. Been blessed in so many ways! Wow~~~ PTL!

Firstly, the wonderful inspirational teachings from all our pastors speakers.
Ps Moses >> With Joy of the Lord, you'll have no pimples! (no wonder my face is so...)
Ps Simon >> He can speak Indian slang! :D

One thing we did practically about discovering & confirming about our passion is by asking these 2 Questions to ourselves about Passion:

1) What are we passionate about?
2) Who are we passionate about?

For these questions, we had a group sharing among the HUSC brothers, and most of them are confirming about my passion:
Motivational Inflluence towards Students - that's so true! :)
Thanks guys!

Secondly, been blessed by the fellowship and fun we had in the ministry houses as we are hosting some cool brothers from Hope Ipoh.

Listening to their life stories of they come to know Christ just reminded me of how God is working strongly in this new young Gen-Y generation.
(How a bro eventually come to know Christ in Prayer Meeting because God spoke to him in his dream is really amazing - that God is working 24hours! Cool!)

Just inspired me to keep on investing in the lives of the all the future leaders of the nation from UM/UTAR/MAHSA!

>> To know more about these cool passionate brothers, check out their blog too: http://www.witheverything.blogspot.com/

Thirdly, I joined the intercession on Sat morning. Bro Peter shared one thing about the word Passion. That the word Passion consists of the word Pass. Passion is suppose to be infectious. It needs to be passed on to the others! What a truth about Passion! Let's pass on the passionate fire to others as well! Amen!

Fourthly, the testimonies! Angie Kong (Hope Kuantan) and Auntie Stephanie (PKC teacher). Their testimonies of how they dedicate their lives to serve the Lord is just a great example for us to follow.

Angie Kong>> God can use us even when we have no experience or much knowledge about a particular ministry. Just do it for the Lord.

Auntie Stephanie>> Her conviction is the one thing that makes her to be passionate! And the story of how she was being inspired by a living testimony of a Christian during her school days in Australia. Being different and stand for the truth she believed in. Nice!

Fifthly, the Worship. Somehow the Holy Spirit just touched me when I was singing the song: Come to my Rescue. Tears again poured out from my eyes.

Oh Lord, may You be lifted high in every fibre of our being!

Check out the link for the song:

Sixthly, well my mum is here again! This is the second time my mum is joining Bible Conference (in 6months?) since she accepted the Lord! Well, not to mention about the MNC in Penang too of course last Dec 2010. God is just great! What else can I say? :))

Finally, the Word of God.

Hebrews 12:2

Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. (NIV 1984)

Jesus is the perfect example of how we should be living our lives. Knowing His calling and conviction, he lived is such a way to fulfill His mission on earth, regardless of anything. Let's us draw strength and inspiration from Him, through the power of the Holy Spirit!

That's all for now, what a fruitful and memorable BC this time around.
May all of us catch the fire of the Spirit and burnt passionately for Christ!
Amen!!!


Life is about doing and living for the things that you are Passionate about.
