usually mondays are full of blues. but this monday wasnt. there was high and low tides.
gotten emo in the afternoon.. as you noted* in the previous post.. well.. proclaim: im fine now. but it was tough during that particular period..
i actually cried in front of gideon. bet he was at a loss of what to do. he tried badly to make me laugh. and ask me why. thank god for you lar. but i did try to squeeze them back into my eyes. dunno why it flows out.
it was my family. at a peak where troubles rings. felt better after SIR gideon treat me with some nice DINO chicken chop.. and XUE who tries so hard to comforts me.. then her being my medium to ZUL, which was damn funny.. i was sitting next to zul, but i talk to xue to talk to him on msn for me, then he too ask xue to talk to me thru msn. diaoz. we are MAD.
soon after a session of guitar and singing together... with gideon, edmund, kelvin and elisha.. the beginning part was fine... fun and nice.. with kester around too, glad that she is getting more involve together with the unit! then when edmund arrives, things turns SIAO. gideon and him tries out the "tuneless session" together... then goes the GUYS singing out of tune(purposely)..... they tried all sorts of stunts, the "BASS" style, the "HIGH NOTES" keying, the "PPG" voices (powerpuff girls, get it?)....
too irritated but i still love the brudders.... so i took my guitar start worshipping myself. but they never gives up. gideon and edmund came over. and disturb me. squeeze me and start singing BADLY into my ears. cant stand.
finally! lennon arrives.. for meeting.. my ears can take a break. we travels around trying to look for good spots.. then arrives at the hall area at the administration building.. in the end, lennon says, "randall and jorris ah, you girls can dun join us lor? later then come back.." cause guys shepherding, OK. we went to the aircon area of the building itself.. with randall.. starts to sing.... the place was awesome.. great echo effect.. we sing like some powerful singers.. lol. shared with her problems.. we cried together. and there it was fine le.
joella arrives shortly and we teach her how to do scaling and breathing exercises to learn how to sing better.. YUP! after that.. we went to MAC to have some food together... with the guys.. meeting with lennon individual. haha. very funny.. suddenly felt easy to talk to him nowadays, therefore! SP is growing! my leader grows!
anyway, something for somebody:
im waiting. just wait.
Genesis Jorris 11:40:00 PM

she hates me to core....... am i that horrible in her eyes? i suddenly dun feel like entering poly anymore... give her the chance to enter rather than me. she thinks life here is that easy? im angry.. but im sad the most. my family seems so distant. even she... i thought she will know. but she dunno.
DUN WAN TO TALK ANYMORE. CANT CONTINUE.
Genesis Jorris 2:42:00 PM
lakehouse stuck in my mind.. the sweet love story lingers in my heart, bringing forth the sweet old days and the young love seed in the minds of the passioners of love. its the love season i realise.. the time where heart easily get stirs and pump really hard. over that person. who knows what im talking about?
its the type of creepy sensation that crept into your heart when your eyes met. you smile.. shy* you can talk everything under the sun, and when everything have been said, you just cant bear to hang up that phone of yours.. when that person walk faster than you, your heart sinks a little.. when your phone beep to inform you of new smses, you quickly refers and wonders? is it her? pray hard.. ha.
falling in love is no mistake. but letting it take overs your heart will lose your focus. love is hazardous.. yet love is unbearable. you cant stop yourself from loving. you cant control the emotions hidden inside from erupting like a volcano.. love is creeping into my heart.. refreshing all the old times that i used to have. but i long not for that. i long for my very one god will send...
lord.... i'll wait. like how kate waited for him... never forgets. though i know not who is the one to be send down by you.. but i long for him to come one day! persuasion shares: waiting comes with fruits. my fruit of love, now you drop this seed in me, i'll just wait patiently for it to sprouts and see it myself clearly the man of my life.
lakehouse. it plays your heart. beware. it will bring back memories.
guard my heart. not let it wanders over.. not to you.

Genesis Jorris 10:45:00 PM
hmmm... in love?
your heart will pump faster and more healthier. your face will flush like nobody business. you want to be there everywhere the person goes.
i dunno what there's to fall in love besides that it drives your adrenaline around your body twice the speed the usual rate. But i do know the feeling is something humans pursue. that we desires to own.
yet love is confusing. love comes with alot of committment. love makes you blind, only seeing the one that you love, and turning a deaf ear to the people around you. it weakens your focus point. shrinks your love for others.
so what's so good about love?
love is something god gave to a couple when they come together. there will always be a fateful one god chose to be our partner for life. and on and off along the way you question about the one who makes you feels pink is it the fateful one? many times. love tempts. and it really tempts badly.
but thank god he gave us far eyes and clear ears for us to look and listen to the bigger picture in the future. love comes for a long run. dun focus on the pleasure of love you get from now. but devote onto god to receive the love that shall comes by god grace and choice.

"The atheist"
An atheist was walking through the woods one day in Alaska, admiring all that evolution had created. "What majestic trees! What a powerful river! What beautiful animals!" he said to himself.As he was walking alongside the river, he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him. Turning to look, he saw a 13-foot Kodiak brown bear beginning to charge towards him.He ran as fast as he could down the path. He looked over his shoulder and saw that the bear was rapidly closing on him. Somehow, he ran even faster, so scared that tears came to his eyes. He looked again and the bear was even closer. His heart pounding in his chest, he tried to run faster yet.But alas, he tripped and fell to the ground. As he rolled over to pick himself up, the bear was right over him, reaching for him with its left paw and raising its right paw to strike him."OH MY GOD! ..."Time stopped.The bear froze.The forest was silent.Even the river stopped moving ...As a brilliant light shone upon the man, a thunderous voice came from all around..."YOU DENY MY EXISTENCE FOR ALL THESE YEARS, TEACH OTHERS THAT I DON'T EXIST AND EVEN CREDIT CREATION TO SOME COSMIC ACCIDENT. DO YOU EXPECT ME TO HELP YOU OUT OF THIS PREDICAMENT? AM I TO COUNT YOU AS A BELIEVER?"Difficult as it was, the atheist looked directly into the light and said, "It would be hypocritical to ask to be a Christian after all these years, but perhaps you could make the bear a Christian?""VERY WELL." Said God.The light went out.The river ran.The sounds of the forest resumed....and the bear dropped down on his knees, brought both paws together, bowed his head and spoke: "Lord, thank you for this food which I am about to receive."
Genesis Jorris 4:37:00 PM
yesterday was my first anniversary choir practise..
250706. mark this day.. it was a fruitful day indeed.
Before that had a meet up with lennon and randall coming with me too. we have a meeting, the BOSS and his ARMOUR BEARERS. lol. very funny.. i have a bad stomachache and i came out very relieved.. was telling randall tt it was indeed WONDERFUL that finally it came out. lol. we went to purchase some MAC stuffs and my burger was very small. dunno why the MCSPICY that day shrinks. nvm... perhaps god is helping me to diet.
Lennon was in the SHATECH uniform.. as usual, he looks like a salesman. i kept repeating that*.. we come together to discuss and break news to each other.. and all of us are convicted of the harvest! amen! Lennon didn't forget to bring the teaching notes for me, GOOD! haha. finally i can read more and learn more now.. then teach my sheep. haa. Soon after the fruitful meeting, lennon brought us over around clementi to buy something for me. MY BDAY PRESENT. very funny... i want shoes, then there is only AHMA shoes.. lol. then i say dun want buy lar, EX lar. in the end.. i say i want NOTEBOOK for my sermon notes... REALLY! then he say i too HOLY. lol.
After that is Choir Practise!
Before we start we have a worship together... the prayer and the people was powerful.. can feel the intense of the fullness of voice singing loud to God. YES! finally, this is what i long to see! The choir is very vision centered... thank God for Hope in building up strong disciples as ministers for God in this area... The practise start off with warm up exercise, learning how to breath and doing scaling exercising.. was tough for my FIRST time, but it was fun.. thank God i can hit the notes yesterday cause my THROAT recovers!
We sing HIGHEST. a majesty presentation song.. it was a supreme time listening to the combining of the voices and hearing this united harmony of all the powerful voices.. the tenor and alto added up to the melody, it was really near to perfection.. the singers have this tendency to what we call "muo qi".. lol. Everytime one team starts to sing the others will go along at the same time.. then everybody though spilt into groups will end up singing together..
We learn WITH YOU.. a HIGH praise yesterday.. indeed a high praise, cause the KEY very high.. (quoted from cherish) lol. in the end, the key has to drop lower in order for the tenor to reach.. but well, it stills sound very nice!
Went home together with Ming Xiu, Aifang, and Edmund. lol. the RED LINE GANG. great time sharing about our courses that we are studying in and mingxiu study in this very interesting course call: occupational theurapy. Left me and aifang in the end... and we had a great time of fellowship together.. were discussin about our desires and passion for music.. she was sharing her vision of becoming a guitarist for God in church, but joining the TWAM will means detach from the pastoral areas. For me, i know god have not yet call me yet. IM WAITING.
Reach home and there it goes: MSN.
Saw lennon and we had a great time MSN fellowship there.... some really good conversation we have over there.. PRAYER TO GOD ANSWERED! u know what?
We were both very hungry at that time and is really tempted to eat!!! he wanted to order MAC and im tempted by my dear mum's cookings and my dad eating right in front of me.. THE SMELL. yes that! so we prayed for each other after requests over the internet.. and there it goes! i feel much fuller and the PAIN in lennon stomach was gone!!! amen!!! BUT WELL.. here's sumting for SIR LENNON TO LISTEN:
Never drink coffee again when you are fasting! you know coffee boost the secretion of acids in your stomach resulting the acidic level to increase! and when you're not eating anything, too much acid in your stomach will results in gastric pain! and yesterday night most probably is due to that... SOOO! do take care of your temple of God and dun drink coffee, drink MILO enough. sumtimes SWEET occasionally can helps too. and your MSN nick! dun tempt yourself with that mouth-watering TIRAIMISU! change it to something like: water is the nicest item that one can consume~.... lol. anyway, I WILL continue to be a STRONG armour bearer de. for God sake~
Soop, there is goes today i got to wait till evening time to eat.. cause only to have one meal per day.. and tonight we're going to have NS farewell dinner! thus i must persevere! God gives me strength and a full stomach so i can hold on till i reach marina BAY! hope that tonight will be fruitful.... EDMUND AND ZHANHONG did well.. continue to grow in God.. Randall jiayou.. continue to lead for God.. Esther be focus! expand team HOPE to great HEIGHTS! Evan rest well... JUGGLE your studies and ministries well, you been a good UA! Jasmine strives hard! CONTINUE to be consistent in being a active servant for GOD!
Last But Not Least! Lord! Bless the Land Of SP!

But for your grace. i can sing like this.
God allow me a new insight of all that belongs to him, none that belongs to me. yes, hallelujah!
this experience of losing my voice was really terrible.. for my voice is something i cherish.. i was very sad when i couldn't sing at a period of time and i do not know why all these things happen.. and further more.. it took place when i was about to go for audition! for the anniversary choir..
Was asking God.. Why? Why to me? i long to sing.. sing for you.. but why is it me? But well.. God enable me to understand one thing.. only for his grace that i could sing and i could use my voice. None belongs to me from the beginning, why talk about letting go and giving up? Since i have nothing to give up?
And God assured me of his grace.
I got pass the audition thou i did not sing in my best fit!
You know.. it enable me to understand one thing. Im nothing. God is everything.
Thanks!AUDITION ANNIVERSARY CHOIR. PASS.

Amen.Amen.Amen.Amen.Amen.Amen.Amen.Amen.Amen.Amen.Amen.Amen.Amen.Amen.Amen.Amen.Amen.Amen.Mark 4:26-29 (The Message)
Never Without a Story 26-29Then Jesus said, "God's kingdom is like seed thrown on a field by a man who then goes to bed and forgets about it. The seed sprouts and grows—he has no idea how it happens. The earth does it all without his help: first a green stem of grass, then a bud, then the ripened grain. When the grain is fully formed, he reaps—harvest time!Mark 4:26-29 (Amplified Bible)
26And He said, The kingdom of God is like a man who scatters seed upon the ground,
27And then continues sleeping and rising night and day while the seed sprouts and grows and increases--he knows not how.
28The earth produces [acting] by itself--first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.
29But when the grain is ripe and permits, immediately he sends forth [the reapers] and puts in the sickle, because the harvest stands ready.God assurance is so comforting.. As this verse came upon to evangeline, and she shared to me what god has drop into her heart.. i was amazed and really am glad. Thank God for speaking thru her.. Im encouraged. really! Lord.. nothing would be done unless you works among the hearts of all.. Only you can bring forth the harvest! amen!

Genesis Jorris 12:18:00 AM
today is the day.
My audition day.
Well, i wake up in the morning to attend yuhui's shepherding with a throat that is dry and sore, and with a mouth full of ulcers that feels so irritating.. nearly overslept but i was late for shepherding alright. But anyway, she and joella have not started. went to eat sum very nice "ayam baker" and after that it was a fruitful time of shepherding..
Approaching nexus my heart begins to beat harder.. because im not in my best form! Voice is cracking like ducks under water and i cant hit notes because its painful. The throat is dry and at certain times, no sound came out! OMG... We went into the auditorium when the second adult service ended.. heart beat faster* at that time i really fear that i cant get pass the audition.. with such situation and circumstances.. cant speaks even for this..
Was asking God... God, is it really true that you going to strip this away from me? my longing to sing, my passion to sing for you to be postpone totally? GOd answer me this. "perseverance". You need to persevere and have confidence in me, declares the Lord.. i immediately turn silent. Yes.. alright God! all to you all to you.. no matter what is your plan for me i'll follow.. i'll serve..
i typically flung the audition in the last section.. the first two was okay.. scaling part, my range was G#. Rhythm part i catch it in one beat. its the choice of songs! firstly i was really panicking because the keyboardist do not know how to play the songs i picked.. alright never mind, he says do without the praise song... so directly into worship! singing toyou.. yeap. i flung it. you know why? i start with a key too high.. lol. but the auditionists were merciful.. they know i have sore throat and ask me to go rest my voice..
God.. i long to sing for you.. u know my heart.. i dun no what lies in the plans that you have for me but i trust unto you that your plans are the best for me.
He says this, "encouragement". it will be in the expected end. Ok God, what's next now? what is the expected end!!! haha.. im so curious.. Oh father you're so mysterious. but its ok. i love you. alright! no matter what may come i will still obey your plans for me. Jus guard my heart oh lord.
Amen!
Genesis Jorris 10:59:00 PM
hallelujah.
I feel fuller and fuller each day as i commit myself to make an effort to read. People out there who know me well know i HATE reading.. really! i mean like, usually i will fall asleep when reading books.. the only story book i complete was harry potter order of the phoenix.. you know why? cause my friend challenge to finish in three days.. and I DID.
i remember i got this book, the fruit of the spirit from BOSS lennon last time when i was a new believer.. and now 1 year old in church, i still at half of it.. cause i didnt touch finish it! but recently god drops more and more promptings into my heart to go and learn more things so that i can be more equipped with the word and be more convicted of the truth and my faith. yeap.. and i started to read up on gnosticism..
i ignited the habit to research online for articles and read up, and debate it myself with the supporting bible verses to identify whether the article is valid or not.. found many unbiblical articles online, and thank god the word is assuring enough to provide with the answer.. i borrow this two book call "gnostic gospel" and "the gnostic religion".. well, i believe its good to have the habit to dare urself to challenge your faith by reading up on many heresitic articles... because then you will found out the realness of GOd is indeed superb and overwhelming.. nothing can overcomes the truth.. AMEN!
Like to takt this chance to people who visit my blog and saw this post to read. and ask from god the gift of knowledge.. god will answer your prayer so long your heart and soul is aligned and correct! never stop learning for there is countless of things we can learn for god and about god.
Jia you! have the drive to learn! learn with WISDOM!
Genesis Jorris 2:36:00 AM
Quiet! God is speaking.
Habakkuk 2:20
"But the Lord is in His holy temple; let all the earth be silent before Him."
The last part of God's answer to Habakkuk is as forceful as it is brief. It is that He knows what He is doing even when circumstances appear to be out of control. The instruction 'let all the earth be silent before him' is for everybody - the godly as well as the heathen. Eugene Peterson words it in this way: "But oh! God is in His hole temple! Quiet everyone - a holy silence. Listen!" The point God is making here is that just as the idols are silent before people (v.19) so the people of all nations are to be silent before the true and holy God. If i understand this verse correctly, God is saying in effect, "stop asking endless questions such as 'why does God allow this?' and why does God do that?' Understand the fact that I know what i am doing and that i am the Lord of history."
Once we make up our minds that God knows what He is doing then all confusion vanishes. And that applies not only to personal issues but to the global ones as well. The same word that brought illumination to Habakkuk's heart can, if we let it, comfort our hearts. If you look at almost any day's newpapers you will find reports of terrorist activity, murder and corruption. But if you will find yourself looking at the Ultimate, the Absolute. And what will happen? Instead of your heart being filled with fear it will become strangely peaceful. Why? Because you will realise that God is at the centre of His universe and is working out His purposes. Things will go no further than God sees fit.
As Christians we simply must hole on to this fact. The greater our understanding of the truth that God is allowing things to happen for a purpose, the less we will need to ask 'why?'
Gracious and loving heavenly father, help me this day to catch the sweep of your purposes and become a part of them. Deepen my conviction that You are in control, for i sww that then I will focus more on the 'What' than the 'Why?'. Amen.
Genesis Jorris 8:43:00 PM
No prayer Unanswered.
Psalm 130:5
"I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in his word i put my hope."
As we have seen, once Habakkuk had made his complaints he said, "I will look to see what he will say to me"(Hab 2:1). This brings me to the next thing we need to do to ensure spiritual surefootedness: always be willing to let God answer not only in His own time but also in His own way. Even if Habakkuk's words were said more in a spirit of resignation than acceptance, at least he was moving in the right direction. Learning how to wait quietly for God to answer prayer and bring about His purpose is one of the hardest in the Christian life, but it can mean the difference between peace and panic.
I myself am not quite sure which is the more difficult situation to be in - receiving an answer from God that one does not like or having to wait a long time for the divine reply. I once put this question to a group of Christians: which would you find harder among this two situations above? Surprisingly, everyone choose the latter. They were unanimous in saying that waiting is by far the most difficult thing to endure. In reality, of course, no prayer goes unanswered for the answer will come in one of four forms:
1) YES
2) NO
3) Here is somthing better
4) Wait to see what i will do
God has sometimes to save us by hard refusals. Therefore, God says no. Wait - may be most difficult to handle, but again, though we may not be able to perceive it, it is just as loving as the others.
O father, I know in my mind that the waiting time can prove transformation to my whole being, but i confess that i find it so hard to endure. You have helped me before - please help me now with this. In jesus' name. Amen.
Genesis Jorris 8:28:00 PM
The silences of God.
Before going any further in our meditations we pause to consider the fact that Habakkuk was not the only person in the Old Testament to express concern over the silence of God. The psalmist speaks of the same feeling of abandonment in the verses before us now.
psalm 6:3
"my soul is in auguish. how long, O Lord, how long?"
How strangely silent and inactive God appears to be at times.. If you are confused about God's silence in your life at the moment then you will have some sympathy for the psalmist and Habbakuk and understand how they felt. After years of listening to people and sharing their deep concerns about spiritual things I have come to the conclusion that confusion over the way Gof deals at times with his children is, as I have already said, a major spiritual issue. It requires great honesty to confess that one is spiritually confused. Far too many Christians, when they feel confused, pretend they are not in the mistaken belief that by doing so they are being spiritual. But pretence is not spiritual; in fact it is deeply unspiritual. Honesty requires us to admit that things are as they are. We don't have to remain at that stage bue we have to start there. It is not unspiritual to confess that that you are confused as to why God doesn't answer you or give you some sign that He has heard your prayer. When Habakkuk cried out , he was demonstrating his integrity, for integrity requires that whatever is true must be faced.
Living by faith is a bewildering adventure. We never know what's coming next, and if we think that because we are followers of God He will never allow us to be confused then we are in for a surprise.
O father, whenever i feel you are silent help me, i pray, to hold on to the words You have spoken to my soul when there have been no silences. Teach me to trust You when i cannot trace You. In Jesus'name, Amen.
Genesis Jorris 4:21:00 PM
Whee!!!
had a long time sharing christ to a person i get to know just yesterday.. a fruitful time and a great testimony to share in relevance to how god assist me to share to her about my conviction and the relevance of the bible!
Wow.. it was really a powerful time of sharing and fruitful time of exchanging our knowledge about gnosticism.. it was great, and awesome about the work of god!
well.. this particular lady i realise used to be a believer in god, but because of many things that happen in her previous church, her faith was diminished and she drifted away from god.. well, she speaks with alot of beliefs in god's principle and her perspective of life is indeed like a christian.. but she was filled with doubts about the prophecies in the bible that was seemingly exaggerated and the relevance of the gnostic gospels towards the bible accuracy..
WELL! god knows this time will come for her to clear her doubts and he make it a plan in my life! here's a powerful testimony!
today as i leave my house i took the davinci code notes that was given during that time of a talk that was given about davinci code, truth behind fictions.. suddenly have an urge to read up on that issue and so was intensely reading up on the facts on the notes and the understanding of gnostic gospels.. at first i do not know why i took this note to read up, but was really filled with a heart to learn something today, and so decide to read it up and gain more knowledge..
till the way back home during evening time, i complete the entire notes explanation about the gnostic gospels, in more exposure to the issue over Mary and Jesus.. when i reach home not long after, my contact just called me up and chatted with me! i was surprised of course, cause i just get to know her for only a day with 3 smses and she called me like if we were good old friends! suddenly, i was filled with the spirit to share with her about my conviction in christ, and my faith in god.. in relevance to my life transformation story..
then it began with the part where she really ask me alot about gnostic gospel! thank god hours before i did read up on articles in relevance to it and really understand better in these areas! the time of sharing enable me to use the knowledge that i gain to identify with her the accurate facts and the truth.. well, it really help her to think about these topics all over again and have a new view towards it!
well, it was a fruitful time of sharing and thru the talk we have jump from a S stage contact to a W stage contact! she may be considering to come to this week service provided she completed her projects! pray for me that she will have the heart to let god come back in again!
AMEN.

reason why it is number 6:24-26?
god's blessings.
Yes god is here to claim this land of dryness in SP!
i was praying to god really hard yesterday night about the defeat in SP multiple times.. i was crying to God of these period of dryness and what is it that we should really do in order to receive by the moisture that God has for in store of his people and his kingdom..
Why? Why? i was shouting loud to God to have mercy on us.. are we meant to remain in this dryness? when are we going to see breakthrough and the revival of the Land?
God gave me this..
Numbers 6:24-26
it means...
Blessings. YES.
Blessings!!!! God assures me of his peace, his keepings, his giftings, his blessings, his grace, his guidance, his kindness! the smile suddenly hanged on the corners of my face when it came to me..
God's assurance was really comforting.. i look forward for that day with a heart of expectancy now! God pours, pour in more!
SP GLORY. amen.

Genesis Jorris 8:20:00 PM
father.
i know that my heart are weaken by many circumstances surrounding me.. the defeated spirit in many eyes, the faithless souls in many bodies, the weariness of humans have drawn me to the bottom of the well, casting darkness in the hollowness of the hideous walls in the well, bringing me to a dimension of worries, discouragement, weakening, flustered hearts and inferiority..
There's just so much things that i hope i can do for you Lord, but all that i lack is of your perfectness.. asking for your assistance badly now, to enter the hearts of all those who are weak and beaten, who hear the voice of the devil, who spirit are no longer fervent, who hearts are bruised, who minds are blanked and empty... Lord fills these emptiness in many of them with
the love, the strength, the spirit and the courage of yours.. Allow all their bodies to be replenish with your supreme flow of your holy presence, and encourage us with your breath of word.
Father! im not discouraged, but im burdened.. burden to encourage and spur the people with the excitement that you have driven into my heart! wanting to go there and there and there and get to know more and more people to introduce your kingdom to them! hope to install the conviction towards you into the minds of many others! to spread my joy for you and adds strength to the followers of yous!
I long for tha sensational infilling fo the holy spirit.. God pours in more.. i need the comfort from you to carry on carrying this cross of burden for the people.. i need more of your love to share with the people around me more abundantly!i need your wisdom to help me straighten my thoughts and to learn to be burden positively! Lord let your guidance bring me to your paradise and assure me of your leading.. i trust in you.. you will be in control of all these.. thank you god..
amen.
learn something today about giving thanks to God in all circumstances.. many things happen in our life, both good and bad, we know it is by god's plan that things take place.. if everything run smoothly and all our prayer is answered, wun it be scary to know that we will take god for granted and god is like a servant to us instead of us being his servant? No.. god is all powerful.. i honour god. i respect his authority. and i thank him for all that he have done, is doing, and will do for me.. its all about giving thanks! amen!
Genesis Jorris 9:37:00 PM
im now in SP, with the edmund's lappy on hand, and just now we had a great time talking about evangelism.. we planned for the survey, the details in it, then we set our goals for this week, evax on wed and fri, targetting to witness 20 visitors this week in service, YES! we're going all out for the lost souls.. we're realy desperate..
Saw the urgency in lennon's eyes and the prompting of the spirit to go, NOW, and reach out to the people in SP! why delay, and wait, as if people will come and tell you I WANT TO KNOW GOD. God been saying, we need tomake that effort, to move out of our comfort zone, to dare ourselves for him, then can he bless, and help us to move on!
Really have the burden to witness visitors and converts every week.. SP shall grow.. we'll never remain defeated, I TRUELY BELIEVE. We have the heart for God, yes, we really want to come before God! But it doesnt takes just what we feel and think and want, we need to take that leap, make that move, get it done.
Alright, im really convicted about this. Im moving now, not going to continue to remain and lay there. yes. we will move. and God will pours.
AMEN.
Genesis Jorris 5:36:00 PM
well, though im tired now.. but i promise to share something today.. alright.
let me share something about the teaching by lennon i just attended.. we were learning about progressive commitment, particularly the journey of abraham before God bless him with descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and the sand on the seashore.. Abram undergoes many stages where he have to sacrifice things he cherish, out of his comfort zone in order to commit to God.. Five areas he committed:
1. leave his country, to a foreign land, out of his comfort zone.
2. leave behing his relatives and father.. letting go of people he cherish, his father Terah, to leave the fact that terah always "delay", so that abram can move on to God's plan for him.
3. Seperate with Lot, his nephew, and his humility to go to the left if lot go right, and go ti the right, if lot go left..
4. Send Ishmael away. His son, and yet to send his son away.
5. Risk his only son, Isaac, as a offering.
Look at the journey of faith he have undergo for God, and the blessing pours when he have overcome the path God set in for him.. actually, God already path out solutions to our struggles, we do not need to struggle with struggles, but all we have to do is to follow God, obey God, and he will path out the journey to righteousness.. all we have to do is to react, and make the EFFORT.
last but not least. not be condemned. not be defeated. we're gonna do it. yeah!
Genesis Jorris 12:01:00 AM

OMG! the money was not suppose to be taken in CASH de, if we miss out class outing then it will not be counted le.... and furthermore, i happens when i just spend around that amount in order to bless! OMG.. God really bless.... and he saw my heart! hellelujah!

Genesis Jorris 4:03:00 PM
July 16th.
Its the day that marks this season waterbaptism.. really so glad to see four of us getting water baptised, burying our old self and committing to God with a new self! Today marks the day of revival and resurrection! hallelujah. Seeing garmeng, edmund, evangeline, and shuxing baptising to obey God's command for us was really encouraging.. thank god you guys have commit to God to fulfil this route of our life journey!
An interestin day i can say.. many things happen and it was really enjoyable and fruitful.. Initially we waited for everyone at the bedok MRT station to gather, but well, something expected, PEOPLE were late.. haha. Shuxing was the last person to reach.. But by that time, me, zul, edmund, garmeng and evan have already left with the bus 401. the journey was disgusting.. the bus stinks, the air con was like no air con, oxygen was lacking, really uncomfortable and the sun was shining bright into the seats.. Yet the time in the bus was great, was interviewing the baptisee their thoughts that they going to be water baptised soon! We also share about the significance of water baptism.. and have some time getting to know garmeng better as well..
Reached splash! Immediately when we register for them, the water baptisee, we rush off to the reception to eat the bee hoon like some hungry ghosts of the seven month.. it was really funnie. we keep stuffing our mouths full with beehom and saying: "its nice! its nice!" then there goes first round, second round....................................... soon after when pastor ben started to take the mike, we proceed to the corner to sit down and listen, and cool down, to prepare our heart.. THEN! it begins! the water baptisee proceed to the pool.... but the funny thing is, the rest went over to eat BEE HOON again.. we couldnt stop, we were really hungry!!! Until i say, go liao lar!! then we went down..
There, when i reach, thank god evangeline was about to get baptised.. believe she was really glad and excited for God at that time.. she was really growing.. thank god! the picture was complete, because there was OBEDIENCE. to GOD. amen..
Well.
July 16th.

Genesis Jorris 10:20:00 PM
I cant sleep without saying this.. cause my heart is really burdened.. for people. for you guys. brothers. sisters. God is impressing in my heart tons and tons to remind people to lead their life carefully.. flashes of images appears in my mind.. many things that we do, its not about whether we cant do it or not, its not about it is wrong to do all those things, but it determines your priority and your positioning of your time over your best effort to serve him better. You knows, we really need to go out of our comfort zone.. We need to take the cross and MOVE. yes, that's what God wants to say, MOVE. we need to exercise our faith in the things we do in our life, exercise is MOVING. a couple of sentence for the peopl around me.. to tell you guys to do something.. and also some who im inspired by, like to take this chance to affirm you for your god-honouring lifestyle..
Esther: I got to say you need to refrain from the serangoon gang.. dun be easily tempted! its really fun to mix around but you know, you have been losing sleeps from it, your studies can be given more time if you miss out those outings, and your health could have been better.. i can say your weekly basis activity with the serangoon gang has gone beyond the acceptable range worx.. hey! come let's quit the addict together! Use that time on something more fruitful and worthy!
Randall: Likes to encourage you to take a bigger leap. You are growing strong as what i see, but i believe you can trust onto this challenge to make a bigger step for God.. our DMM seems not to be in operation, do revive it.. BURN your caregroup with your passion and conviction! share your vision, your plans with them regularly, and GROW together! I believe larina is a great armour bearer, use her well and wise!
Alvin: Need to learn to be mature and focus. Dun only ask for fun! and things that you like! learn to do things not of your interest and making the effort to learn and change and do it for God! Your sheep is waiting for you to give shepherding, give sparingly! then can God allows u to receive sparingly! Place your focus on God and treat authority he have given to you importantly alright? Dun procrastinate, dun delay, if you have the heart, do it NOW!
Zul: Own the burden from God. You know better of what im going to say.. Be really focus on his plans for you.. and learn to obey what God has in store for you.. Dun be distracted by other thoughts; fun, passion, love, and anything in your life that you values, LET GO. Sacrifice for the kingdom and God will give you back what you gave ten times fold back! You need to mature in Christ and learn to serve him out of your comfort zone.. take the cross NOW and lead! God is calling out to you, listen carefully. He has a calling for you.
Evan: So glad that you took up the UA role with great conviction! saw you first time carrying out your job to collect the HQ funds, great!!! you make initiatives to approach and listen to my suggestions and apply.. it was a great job done! And thank God i saw a faithful heart, who is responsible for her tasks despite she have to rush home! Can really see that you are learning to find the balance point between church, families and friends. glad to see that effort, and im proud of you! Like to ask you to dare yourself even more.. for God is waiting to use you even greater!
Lennon: Saw how you lead your life since your school starts.. wow, i have to say i really thank GOd for you for impressing in my heart a life lead closely with God and carefully.. saw how you restrict yourself not to be tempted to go watch movies.. and not to go clubbing till too late with the contemporary church people.. How you organise your time for the people and plan for the WFL lesson well and in advance despite you have a hectic timetable for your shatech. Im impress. Impress about how much God can bring a person to do so much for Him. Im proud of you my leader.. and really am touched when you says when four drops into the sea, you will not save any, but you will jump in and die with us! thanks lennon for your great sharings and encouragements and teachings and mentorings. appreciate all that. will lead my life carefully too!
Jasmine: Saw your spirit today and your intiative to approach the contacts, that's great! continue to grow in this spirit and taking an active role in the caregroup! you can be our dear support too! SP2 shall work together in strong activated bond and we shall witness fruits pour sparingly over us! Like to thank God for your effort make to spread your joy to the people around.. and i hope you too can join me to lead our life better and carefully! let's supervise our life with GOd and learn to change in line with God!
Edmund: Im worried about saying and not doing.. affirm you for your understanding of the word and many sharings by our leaders.. really thank God that you know alot of values.. and share many of your understanding with us.. but need to learn to apply! and we need to learn to be a role model! sometimes we need to understand the full meaning of all those principles and theories by happening it in our lifestyle.. if not, we are not credible to lecture another on that issues.. sometimes, we need to know what does our heart really is speaking.. when we affirm and when we share a principle to follow, is our heart really meant to help and assist? or is it just to say and express what we have learn? Guard our hearts and grow in maturity. God is growing you.
Alright... i hope all of us, can lead our life carefully.. really leh, God is dropping that into my heart. ME and YOU. LEAD LIFE CAREFULLY. BE WARY AND ALERT FOR THE ATTACKS OF SATAN. HE IS JUST ARD THE CORNER WAITING FOR US.
Genesis Jorris 4:46:00 AM
Its another saturday.. consider quite fruitful, when God makes the picture a complete one in the end..
typical saturdays will surely be SERVICE and then dinner together and then have some fun! well, today we went to watch pirates of the caribbean.. yeap, it was a nice movie.. Baked cookies for people, thank God it was successful, and many of them says it taste really nice! but well, there was this two very discouraging brothers, hinting* kok hao and EDMUND, kept comparing it to famous amos.. i mean, HELLO! i make the effort to bake for you guys till 4am in the morning and still say stuffs like, "it taste totally no taste".. must be your taste buds got problem.. impossible all others was enjoying it rite, and you guys also kept eating it. But well its alright, i understand you guys de. sweet rite.
today praise and worship was weird.. i could somehow sense really obviously what went wrong over there on stage.. yeah. quite clearly.. the praise started off really weird, because i sense a strong spirit that God is not in the picture... it was like a presentation.. it was high, the music was good, the voice was really fantastic, but i realise really leh, a non-god honouring session of praise and worship would really be meaningless... Well, jasmine intervene too, i believe she felt the same way and led back the people to focus on God... and it was better towards the end.. Well, at that time, God drop something into my heart, HOPE.
I learnt alot about hope today.. and i found this unknowingly joy in me.. yes, i found the spot, and now i will know better of what to serve God in his kingdom with more might.. HOPE is someting we need to have, to hope in God and find ourselves on eagles wings.. When jasmine poon aids over, it shown hope to me.. it means our church knows what are the dos and donts, and we are in a position where we humble to the truth and repent, change the fact and actions to go aline with God! And it refresh my hope to see purpose of hope church to grow stronger in SINGAPORE! yeap.. gave me new insights to HOPE in my caregroup, my sheep, my core team members too..... we're going to see CONVERTS! yes, god promise his ministration over us!
Had a great chat with weibin when we were waiting for night riders to come and take us home.. was challenging him to plan badminton activities for us to go play with them, yeah, he seemingly agree the idea! looking forward for more SOWING to come! i truely believe a time will come where he will receive god into his life, because he will see our CONVICTION! Suddenly my heart is really burdened heavily to help people take care their lives well, to lead their lives more carefully and precise.. dun no why... perhaps u may realise i become more naggy and more lecturer-type, but i really sense and impress deep in my heart we should change the way we lead our lives leh.. dun delay and procrastinate, make your time fullest today! and not only for today, but for everyday!
Take the cross. Take the lead.
Genesis Jorris 4:02:00 AM
OOO yeah.. some funny photos we took back then with the serangoon trip at alvin/shulin/patrick house. LOL. it really look retarded. We saw a monster. at alvin patrick house. so stunned. adn FAKE. LOL. Hope you guys enjoy the photos. and make you smile today!
ME, highly retarded.
Genesis Jorris 4:02:00 AM
Alright, today we're going to learn positivity.
Realise i been talking about something to learn every day? because i truely believe God have alot to impress in our heart everyday.. it is whether we make the effort to go and listen.. to give ourselves ears to hear and eyes to see! So, im practising this effort to learn something everyday.. and to share with you guys my learnings!
Positive. what is it about being positive?
Its not about being an optimistic person, because we need to know the burdens of consequences that didnt turn out right.. Positive is also not only standing firm on things that were right, positive is standing firm on things that were done out of a right heart. Failures are meant to be look upon positively, but remember it is nto about being optimistic. Optimistic is about learning things that didnt go our way and escape from it with a smile, with a smile that it will come to a pass and it is okay.. Positive is learning about the pros and cons of results and when things happen not of our expectation, we make actions to learn from mistakes with a cheerful and spontaneous heartand not let it pass, but remember the failure that will contributes to our success in the future..
We really need to learn to carry off a positive burden.. If not we will never learn what it really means by conviction.. you know, conviction is like determination, we have to pull thru the entire journey.. it will never be a bed of roses, and we will always face lots of obstacles along the way.. But why can so many people survive the walk with such great Joy, great spirit? Like i mention earlier on in my posts, about Joy.. Joy and being positive are linked.. Its all about having that inner satisfaction in God... Its all about we know it is pleasant in God's eyes.. This Joy, positivity, strength, spirit all derives from the Spirit.. We own the love, that God gave sparingly.. We just have to know God more, and understand that he loves us..
I heard many people saying and asking they do not know God well, they want to know God well.. But i think it should not be the case of spirituality and maturity level! U know, God is only 30cm away from us.. measure your brain and your heart! Sometimes, it is us who kept looking outside but we forget to look inside our heart.. God been living strong in our heart, longing to have a chat with us, to connect with us, to let us know him more! We need to learn to look inwardly, learning to let go and focus on the tiny little things we have in our hearts, and we will see that God is actually so much nearer than we think..
Be positive For God. God longs.
Genesis Jorris 9:39:00 PM

Genesis Jorris 9:34:00 PM
Today, was flipping thru all my pictures in my computer.. realise i have went thru alot.. with this bunch of people in Hope.. lennon was sharing this with me, he will be loyal to the church, to hope.. even if he have to leave, he will not join other church.. even if all of his leaders fall into water, he will not save any four of us, he will jump in and die with us! indeed.. many things have pass.. it would not have happen without hope, without you guys.. thanks alot.. Love ya.. Urban Groove SP group photo.. CL Retreat at Chinatown Jing Jing dessert shop! yummy! Evo retreat! Washing my disciple feets.... (memories sia.) Lovely photos isnt them... realise im in this church for one year already.. this saturday marks my spiritual birthday.. reflects back for all that i have done, indeed, many things unexpectedly i have gone this far already... From a anti-christ to a CL today, many things i learn as i fall, and come back to the Lord.. decide to take this time to share my life testimony.. I came to Hope church Singapore at the day of July 16th 2005, amazingly i actually make the choice to receive in the first place because i was touched in the service but i deny, and in the end i succumb to the truth that was shared by lennon and joella.. The song, "amazing love" touched me.. because two years ago, i visit the same church and it was the same song. i did not devote to GOd because i believe its not yet time, and God really allow me to experience many issues along that two years till that fateful day i said the sinner prayer.. The route to being a CL today is not easy.. i have to really deal with my issue of pride and knowing leader for GOd is all about servanthood, and i need to learn to sacrifice and understand the parable, that one seed dies, many seeds is produce.. The process was indeed increases with many tests and trials, where GOd really mould me in many areas and im really grateful for the transformation that he have beought me to.. I really learn to be genuine to people and to let go of many things.. I learnt to place my focus on GOd and not myself.. I learnt to lead life in humility. Pride is my stronghold.. I tend to try to outshine people and claim glories.. Thank God he never fails to guide me or forsake me.. Lord is my strength to persevere in my conviction in him.. Something to share with you guys is obedience.. when we obey, GOd will bless us... Remember God declares, "the meeks will inherit the land"? Meek means humble.. We need to obey God in his plans and not pray to GOd to make our own plans to happen.. Then can God bless us.. God longs to bless us, and sometimes it is not because he dun want to bless us, but is because he cant! we need to lead our life in righteousness for him to pour out more opportunities and blessings.. So let's put on the armor of God in obedience today and do it for hIM! GOd is Great! Love the Lord.
Some photo to shares about those golden memories...

Genesis Jorris 8:30:00 PM
Alright.. today we're going to talk about Joy.
what is joy all about? many people says having joy is a personality (joyful), joy is doing things that you like to do, joy is having fun, joy is a feeling, joy is a satisfaction to go against sadness, joy have something to do with people that you love, joy is all about being happy. But let me tell you, joy and happiness there is a great difference in their definitions and their meanings in our life and walk with God.
Joy comes from beneath and happiness comes from within. We need to learn to to have joy in our journey of walk with God and to forsake our pursue to be happy in things that we do. Spirit of joy, what is it then? It is to be contented with how God have plan us to be and to do in this world and making the fullest of what he have bless us with by reacting with JOY. We need to have that joy to know that God have created us and gave us so much today from the beginning when we were only dust. We need to have the joy to do everything in our Life to God.
But how to own that Joy? Very simple, do it for God.. Many times we do it for the people around, we do it for ourselves, we work for things that were for the benefits of the world, but we never realise all things that we do we do it for God.. Therefore, know clearly that everything you commit to lead your life is for GOd, and you will find that strength, that wisdom, that JOY in leading life.. Take heart, and take JOY to serve God in all areas of your life..
many may ask, then what is happiness? Happiness is self contentment.. Joy is God's contentment.. So as long as you know what you do is pleasing to God's eyes you will be filled with Joy, but when you know what you are doing is filled with your personal satisfaction you know that it is just simply happiness. Not to say happiness is not biblical, take note here, But it is a indication for Us to lead our life with Joy In God.
Thus, start today to lead your life with Jesus and Take JOY in everything that you do.. in your career, in your studies, in socialising, in evangelism, in serving, in attending activities, in doing sports, in fellowship, in duty, and all areas of our life, Take JOY.
JOY shall be the supplement of our LIFE. IN GOD.
Genesis Jorris 3:27:00 PM
what is passion?
passion to me is about your conviction towards letting it roam in your life.. we are passionate about christ, and we have that passion to allow jesus to take control of us, depending on it, serving christ with evangelism and fellowship, passion to be more like him. be christ-like.. But what about passion for arts? passion for socialising? passion for psychology? passion for eating? and passion for music?
I have the passion for music. im passionate to people who share the same vision with me, to witness our vocals, skills and music to be share and appreciate together.. Passion for music is very hard to understand.. because it is complicated, and involves alot of factors to be fulfiled in order to attain that passion biblically..
TO spread the passion for music in God's kingdom, we need alot more than spirituality.. We need to learn alot, and therefore many times people are held back by their mentors to take part in cases regarding such exposure.. the person need to know it is about servanthood.. actually, many people started out with the right intentions, but along the way, people fall short of God's glory and went their own way.. We need to build the foundation of serving before we can ever fulfil our passion.
I bet all those music passioners would felt the same as me. Whenever there is an opportunity to fulfil your dreams and it was taken away, you felt like you are being stabbed in your heart and it is painful. But i share to you not to feel lost and disappointed. Because i learnt that there will always be a time for everything.. if your passion to music for God shall remains and be rooted, God will definitely bring forth the chance when it is time. Never doubt your leaders credibility. God place them over for a reason.
I learn something recently.. quoted from gideon: " some times we need to learn to let go of things we want, and not to catch it so tightly.. then it will come very naturally.. because u learn to let go for God, and let GOd take control and help you to fulfil with his blessings." yes! learn to let go is what i like everyone of us to learn, many things are in our life that we can never satisfy even till the time when we are at our death bed. We need to learn to stay focus on GOd, and let go of all worries.. THen can God intervene and assist Us.. GOd longs to bless us, you know?
Another thing to share about those who likes to play music for GOd.. quoted from David(TWAM): "music is created to serve GOd.. And there are many people who comes and go in church because of passion because when they reach the limit to developing their skills in church they will go out there into the world to search for other sources that meet their needs.. therefore, we need to know we are servants when it comes to playing music, and not playing for our own passion and satisfaction." Yes indeed! i know many times we are just so sure that we are on the right track, but we need to know we are never God, we cant know what will happen to the future.. Its only when God's calling come and things are set apart for you to fulfil your dreams and vision, then it is time.
Music is passion. Music is created to worship God. Therefore, GOd shall be ye passion. thou shall be passionate for God. Amen.

Genesis Jorris 1:33:00 AM
come people, let me pour out a little of what i have to share about many things in our lives that we need to consider and applies!
Was sharing with my sheep, evan and my daughter, nemo about WWJD. actually, when we lead our life by applying this tag, things would be so much clearer and easier! many times things happen and we do not know what to do, we are confused, we are mad, we are jealous, we make wrong decisions, we feel guilty, we are so mess up.. i mean come let's face it together, these days of imperfections sometimes really filled our life! But nevertheless, there is none such life that it can be perfect.. let's consider the arts of the imperfections.. actually people, to counter to all these lives that we do not pursue, its simple. WWJD.
what does WWJD means? it stands for two meanings:
1. what would jesus do
2. walk with jesus daily
They bring forth the same meaning.. actually, to live each day to the fullest and to be assure that our life is led biblically we just have to follow "WWJD"! imagine this with me, we have one way towards god's kingdom, its a single path straight till we reach heaven.. God walks in that direction, and when we walk with jesus daily, it means we are assuring a walk with GOd that will be perfect! God is perfect and following his ways are the best plan that we can have in our lives.
Our lives are filled with many intervals, countless of them where we have to stop and decide.. make a decision.. choose something.. do something.. manytimes we are stuck with making the decision, because we lack the wisdom to make perfect decisions all the time.. we lacks the knowledge to identify with the situations and unable to analyse the final decision to make.. But sometimes, worrying for what? WWJD. think what would jesus do! know God and you will know what he wil do at the point of time when you are dealed with a dilemma. Think of many things you did in your life, WWJD? if it dun align, then stop doing it! revert and return and do the right thing. Make the right choice..
God impresses in my heart that it is never too late.. not because what we did are never too bad.. its because he is gracious.. God will always welcome us back to his arms.. COme on, we all know we are sinners! and we even cause the death of Jesus! But GOd is gracious, because he loves us badly.. Do you love God hard? Everytime i fall and step up, i love him more.. loving him really hard. Life in God is everything..He loves. And all he do is to Love.
Like to encourage you guys to start this chain of WWJD. spend your day encouraging your brothers and sisters to WWJD! and make it a propaganda or a campaign, believe it is powerful, and it strikes many people! all it takes now is a faithful actions from everyone of us and be genuine to God.
AMEN!
