Father

WOOOHOOO! IMPACT'S GOT TALENT JUST A MONTH AWAY! COME COME COME! Remember to get your tickets from either Jordan or me at RM2 per ticket:) And don't forget to tell your friends about it and make this event a HUGE SUCCESS! And of course not forgettin' the most important thing, PRAYER! Please pray for this event and Impact as a whole too okay ;)

Moving on, the "sign" game was finally introduced to the form 1s and form 2s. A pretty fun game indeed! *coughshernweicough*

And I did devo this week, I hope i did at least a decent job but I know I talked TOOO FAST - I will slow down next time- but I hope you guys got the gist of it which is to forgive those who have wronged you and apologize to those who you have wronged :)

Worship by Tian Xi and AV by Yi Fen. HMMM. Sounds like the worship team and the AV team needs some recruiting all right, so do join the worship and AV team kay! Big or small, surrender your talent to God and He will work wonders through you :) But worship was really really good and it was really heartfelt worship.

The Jon shared and he emphasized that we should really give our all to God from this short 4.30-6.00 period. And we really ought to do so because that's the MAIN reason why we come to Impact, so let's make it a habit to listen to the devos, worship the Lord, hear the announcements and message without flickering around with our phones or tablets(unless your bible is in there).

Jon shared about the perspective we have on God. Who is God to you? Is He a loving God, a merciful God, a jealous God or a fatherly God? The way we see God is important because it will reflect on how we treat God. So Jon shared about God as our Father and a father is someone who loves us and will give his children get what is the best for them. So when God answers your prayer about something that you want, it most should be good for you but if He doesn't answer it he may be asking you to wait for the right time, or even if He says no, He said it because He wants and knows what is best for you.

So that's all for this week and remember to check out the Impact's Got Talent page once its up for more info kay :) God Bless!


 

Valentine's Day

Everybody knows what day today is! IT'S VALENTINE'S DAY! :D It's a time when all the couples go dating while all the forever-alone's just stone at home. But, why am I talking about this stuff when I should be telling how IMPACT WAS!

This week's prayer meeting was DA BOMB. We had the highest 'attendance' so far. But, it would be even better if EVEN more people came for it YA? ;)
This week, Leon did devo about us Christians being the salt and the light of the world and how we must never cover this light of ours but let it shine for the whole world to see.

After that was an awesome worship session which was led by Reuel. OH OH OH and Elijah Chua played the guitar. *ROUND OF APPLAUSE*

Since this week's impact was about valentine's day, Jon had us break up into 4 groups and come up with skits for 4 different scenarios which were : The Overpossesive Girlfriend/Boyfriend, The Unreasonable Girlfriend/Boyfriend, The Stalker and What Not To Do On A Date. Sounds like title to movies rite... :P
At the end of all the fun and laughter, Jon gave a short sharing based on Valentine's Day. He said that if anyone is thinking of getting into a relationship, he/she should sit down and think it through and always remember how it will benefit his/her relationship with God. :D

It Ain't Gonna Fit

Wow! Trisha gave us an AMAZING time of devo this week, didn't she? I feel that all or most of us can relate with her, we shouldn't just love our friends because don't the tax collectors do that too? It's not wrong but we should really try to make a more conscious effort to love our enemies. It is never easy to love your enemy but it is a move you wont regret taking, at least you know you took the first step :)

Worship was nothin' less than Spectacular too! It was a great job by Yi Qian who was worship leading for the first time! WOOHOOO! *CLAPS HANDS* It was really good to see that the AV's Open Song was functioning (in case you didn't know, it was down for a looong time) Well God does have His way and we must always trust him :)

And the IMPACT'S GOT TALENT forms has been passed out so do paricipate and invite your friends, and let's make sure we work hand in hand to make this event a success!

Session, once again by the beloved JONATHAN NGAN! Here's my take on what I understood from Jon's sharing. GOLIATH BIG, David small. Goliath challenges Israel, David insults him by calling him an uncircumcised Philistine. They fight, David throws a rock, Goliath looks at the incoming stone and *stones*. Goliath GG.com, David takes his head :O

Goliath: Ready or not, here I come!
David: WHEEEEE! I have airy pants, what size are yours?

Nahh, that wasn't the jist of Jon's sharing. I missed out the main part, where Saul hands his Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious armor to David but David decided if he was going out to meet an uncircumcised Philistine he would do it his way, LIKE A BOSS!

So yea, you don't need to conform to the world or be what the world wants you to be. You must be who God created you to be. God made each and everyone of us special and He has different plans for all of us so the world shouldn't be deciding our future when God has already decided on what we're wearing tomorrow, what we're eating and whatever we're doing. So trust that God has THE ULTIMATE PLAN for you and don't forget He is your creator :)

God Bless! See you on Valentines Day Special this week :) #neveralone Cause God is always here for us! :)

Cows and Bees

Wow CNY was a whole lot of fun! And what better way to end the week by having Impact! :D First and foremost, you guys must commeeee to prayer meeting before Impact, because... prayer is important, no? :) So yup we had a small discussion of what we woud like to see happen in Impact and various answers were given like more united, have more passion for God, be more welcoming to newcomers, so on and so forth. And we must always remember that if we want to see Impact change, we must start with the Man In The Mirror. So why not begin by coming to prayer meetings eh? :P

Anyways, Yi Fen kicked start Impact by having icebreakers :) Grape, Mango, Apple. And we had a clear winner in our midst, LEONG SHIN KEAT!
Shin Keat: Grape, right. Mango, me. Apple, left. Grape, right. Mango, me. Apple, left.
Mango!!!
Shin Keat: ME!!!!
-.- Your supposed to say your name lar.

Looks like a traffic light to me :P

Haha anyways, devo this week was led by Mr. Kevin Tan. Matthew 5:5 "Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth". A very nice skit by Kevin, James and Han Jiang summed up Kevin's sharing perfectly.  Meek = humble and submissive. We must be obedient to God and let him take control of our lives, let him sit in that throne in your heart and we will surely be blessed :)

Worship this week was led by Tiffany 'Starbucks Queen' Chua. And it was good to worship the Lord for all the good things He blessed us with during the CNY. Especially the ang paus. Haha kidding!

Announcements: IMPACT'S GOT TALENT! Invite your friends to come either to participate or hang around:) It will be EPIC! ;)

Jon: I have a dog named Spot. Say Spot!
Impactors: SPOT.
Jon: I have a dog named Spot. Spell Spot!
Impactors: S-P-O-T
(this event was repeated twice)
Jon: What do you do when you see a green light?
STTT-EP ON THE PADDLE!

Milk and Honey. Cows and Bees. 'Stuff' and Stings. We cannot go through life without having a few 'stuff' and stings. But if we don't make that effort to persevere through all the 'stuff' and stings in life, the cow will just be walking on further and further and we will never reach our goal. Remember it's not about who you are, it's about who He is:) So trust God that He will be able to pull you through those 'stuff' and stings :)

Cow: "Finally! A title with my name in it! Aren't you happy bee?"

Bee: "COW PLEASE."

Do comee next week for prayer meeting ya? God Bless :)
