The Next Level...

Hi guys!

Seriously, our blog needs to undergo a major revamp in terms of contributors...what happened to when this blog was 1st created and everyone was so supportive and blogged?! Aei...say alot of times already laah, please catch the hint if you still call it one can? Let's be givers and sow to each other's lives with our revelations, testimonies and the likes! Or even your prayer requests etc!

Anyway, was just talking to Jamie and God spoke to me about 'the next level'. You guys are always in my prayers, and it really encourages me when I hear and see the effort some of you take to go beyond yourself to make things happen, or when you guys breakthrough in your walk with God. It makes my day, no exaggeration involved!

Things like when Cia came to me today saying that she is back in ministry and is happy about it shows the sermons are not just empty words...when Charles does so well in his NS and yet is so faithful in the KOG...when Val is taking steps to build a spiritual atmosphere in her workplace by initiating prayer groups that have materialized...things like these really make a difference.

Yep, the next level. We are 6 months into 2008. We all want to grow, but wanting is not enough. Like what B.Darren shared, knowing so much but not acting on it is not going to bring about any miracles. We got to reach out and step into the unknown, do the things that we fear most.

Question I want to ask you guys to think about: "What is the next level for me specifically?".

For some of us, it may be to be more diligent to follow through what we always speak but don't do, for others, it may be to join a ministry, yet for some, it may be to be a tither or come for CGM regularly. Whatever it is, I really believe once we all know our next level and take active steps to reach it, 2008 will be a year of transformation for E348. Let's end this year on a high for us yea?! Keep reinforcing the good habits for your breakthrough: the going can get tough, but that's when the tough gets going!

Cheerios,
Zoe

Challenged

Hi guys! Here to add some life to our blog before it grows mouldy!

haha well they say a good message should be preached twice thrice and as many times to the people who need to hear it right?? hahhaa

I especially like the phrase "if the shoe fits, wear it"!

anyway last sat we were very blessed to have Bro D preach such a great message to us and my heart goes out to those who couldnt be there to hear it! haha well but i'll probably be sharing it during bs with my girls this week so I decided to add in my two cents worth here!

haha you know whats the most scary part about sharing the same message? I'm scared that I dun do justice to it and to the original preacher!

haha so yes heres a disclaimer: its not just about the word... it was the spirit behind the word and the presence of God during cgm that cannot be replicated here!

So guys... get the hint. We really want bro D to come back to preach again this saturday because our friends need to hear the word! and its not exactly the same if you think you can share it with them another day if they dun come, because this saturday is going to be a miracle if we can make it happen! The breakthrough in the spirit is going to be sucha blessing to our whole cellgroup. Its time we move up the next level!! We've been hovering at the same place (number) wayy too long!

I guess one of the things that spoke to me the most was holy discouragement.

How did Elisha get the double anointing??

2 Kings 2:1-17

He had to make a decision to move forward..just like how our Christian walk is progressive...

From Gilgal, to Bethel, to Jericho and finally he had to cross the Jordon

But the main question is why did Elijah ask Elisha to stay where he was??

You see, sometimes God gives us circumstances and conditions to discourage us from moving on... only to challenge, test us! Do we want to stay in our comfort zone or do we really have a passion for God? Will we keep on following him even if our prayers dun seem to be answered? Do we still really really want the breakthrough when we are comfortable where we are?

Elisha chose to follow. No matter what.

v17:
Finally, when they came to the Jordon, there were some men standing at the distance. But Elisha stayed with Elijah, and when Elijah parted the sea, they crossed together on dry grounds.

The Jordon speaks of separation, crossing the line. Crossing the line means stepping into the unknown, the dangerous. It might mean leaving your comfort zone, your friends behind. But at the same time, it is a step to your double anointing.

I think in this season of reaping the harvest... the devil is not just going to sit back and do nothing.. especially when he knows the potential that lies within our friends, and at the same time, we might be experiencing a lot of holy discouragement..(haha with all the rejections by our friends >.< arghhh.) But lets all remember the picture of daddy God and us mowing the lawn! He's in control!

Cheers,
jme

I'm sure you caught the vision, gal! Thanks for sharing your heart. Yes, you truly are indispensible to us.

To Jamie and the rest of us: I know you guys are all giving your best shot to make the challenge happen. =) It can be disheartening especially when all our super potential friends cannot make it this week specifically, but let's look on with our spiritual eyes: something is happening in the spiritual realm! Let's claim upon our breakthrough!

E348, you guys are truly the dream team...I'm really very blessed to lead you peeps. Show the world what is called the E348 spirit yea?!

Cheers! =)
