Worship…

September 27, 2008 at 4:33 pm · Filed under Life Situations

Well, last Thursday, I had mentoring with my mentor, Jared… He invited me over to his house. So, Auntie Kheng Hong, Jared and I went for dinner at Happy Garden Cafe(well, i think its spelled this way) =P

After dinner, we went back to His house… he asked me, ; Cal, what makes a good worship leader?

Well, as some of you know me… When i don’t know the answers, i’ll probably give the most straight foward text book answer i can dig in my puny brain. =P

So, i gave the answers;

  1. Can lead the congregation
  2. Good singer
  3. Strong in the Lord

So, Jared told me I was missing the most important thing… Ushering the spirit of the Lord.. A good worship leader is able to usher in the spirit of the Lord.. This not only applies to the worship leaders but also to the band members…

We, sang ‘Jesus loves me this I know’. Then he asked me ; What do you think of this song?’. Well, i just said.. ‘kindergarden song?’ Well, he said ; Yea… but think of it this way.. when we worship lead, we not only choose the song because its nice or in, but… we need to know what God wants us to sing to Him and we need to see what the song says’.

Well, I found out that night, just because ‘Jesus loves me this I know’ is a kindergarden song, doesn’t mean its boring or lame.. Its actually a really meaningful song.. Well, sure… we used to sing it last time when we were small lil’ kids.. But the real meaning behind it is that Jesus Loves each and everyone of us alot..Wow! I cried just singing that song!!

Well, lets just say, if we dun practice how to worship the Lord now, how will we be able to worship Him when we go to heaven? I am also speaking for myself… So, i pray, tonight that God will teach us how He wants us to worship Him.

 

God Bless… Please pray.. God is moving and He aint gonna stop till He’s done what He wants to do..

In Christ Alone….

September 20, 2008 at 1:44 pm · Filed under Uncategorized

Today…. My friend Lawrence reminded me about what God had told me around a month ago through him… God said, He’s always watching over me….. So, then today I heard this song, In Christ Alone.

It says;

In Christ Alone,

I place my trust,

And find my glory in the power of The Cross,

In EVERY Victory,

Let it be said of me,

My Source of Strength,

My Source of Hope,

Is Christ Alone.

 

I straight remembered the death of my uncle.. Every since my uncle died and at the funeral day, they sang this song… I regretted never getting close to him. Casue he loved me so much and as he was getting weaker and weaker, he would still go to church for prayer meetings, mentor his mentees and he was on a wheelchair.. He was so dedicated to doing God’s work… I felt so touched when I head the testimonies about him, I cried my eyes out… I regretted all my life I wasn’t really close to him… Although he loved me alot, i never even took the opportunity to get close to him…

 

So, lets stress on the verses: In every victory, let it be said of me, my source of strength, my source of hope, is Christ alone. I learnt that God is my strength… and in EVERY VICTORY. that means, In Everything that we are victorious in, let it be said of us, that God is our strength and hope… Just imagine how great it is to life God’s name on high in the world and to let people know more about Him.

 

Great is the Lord on high,

Psalm 121;

 I lift up my eyes to the hills-where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot slip- he who watches over you will not slumber; indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord watches over you- the Lord is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all harm- he will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forever.

God Bless,
