Lion for God.

During my BMT phase of life and One sunday morning In the MRT, going to SOL1.. When I sense God saying:

"A Lion is indeed a roaring creature. Full of majesty, power and poise. I am calling you a lion for me not for the world. And it is you is gentle. Remember your place in me. And with the spirit of the lion you can/will fight for me. You are victorious in the Lord Jesus Christ. You now have started this journey of roaring for me mightly now!" - How to roar? "Roar with intergrity, whole-heartedness, word, honorability, strength, power" An Ang Mo came in wearing a black shirt with a tiger and its cub- for 1 station. And i sense God saying, "You are indeed a cub, but i shall help you grow".

But as people in church prayed for me (190904), they prayed for 'confidence and courage, God is with you'. 2nd time- 'God is with you and Have confidence'. Then (260904) someone prayed for me 'Spring of water that will come forth from me with the Power of Holy Spirit'.

This "Lion for God" was a name God called me by. This restored my heart tremendous! And built my spirit and confidence..

The word of God is like a lion; you don't have to defend it, just turn it loose." - Charles Spurgeon

Jonathan Edward's own conversion in the spring had given him a inward 'sweet' sense both of Christ and of the way of salvstion. "My soul" he reminisced, "was led away in pleasant views and contemplation of them. And my mind was greatly engaged, to spend my time on reading and meditating on Christ and the beauty and excellency of his person, and the lovely way of salvation, by free grace in Him"..



Yes, My goal is to go deeper into the word. For This is how one should regard us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God. - 1 Corinthians 4:1. I want to sink in deeper saturation of the Word. I want to let the scripture read me. I wanted to cultivate as a discipline but never really achieved. So i wanna try this method of 'blogging' to help me. The texts Below are not really mine (Ref: From web pages and another person blog.. hahaa)

WORD IS JESUS CHRIST
Know who you are in the WORD....know the WORD completely....and you will find all the answers for eternal life in the WORD.... "He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels." - Rev.3:5. If you do not and can not believe the WORD - you are lost forever. "But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them" - 2nd Cor. 4:3-4. To understand the WORD of God, you need the Holy Spirit - "For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ." - I Cor.2:11-16. Religion does not know Jesus Christ -".....they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch" - Matt. 15:14. Ask the Holy Spirit into your heart, believing that He will teach you all things....then live what He has taught you by the WORD....keeping the faith in Him.

The Sufficiency of Scripture

The uniqueness of Scripture is that it is axiomatic, self-evident truth. Psalm 19:7-9 gives us the most comprehensive statement on the authority and sufficiency of Scripture found anywhere in the Bible.

- The law of the Lord is perfect, RESTORING THE SOUL.

- The testimony of the Lord is sure, MAKING WISE THE SIMPLE.

- The precepts of the Lord are right, REJOICING THE HEART;

- The commandment of the Lord is pure, ENLIGHTENING THE EYES.

- The fear of the Lord is clean, ENDURING FOREVER;

- The judgments of the Lord are true; they are RIGHTEOUS ALTOGETHER.

.

People whose minds are saturated with God's Word and submissive to His thoughts have a wisdom that in eternity will prove superior to all the secular wisdom in the world. -John Piper

my day of baptism

After my baptism on 26th March 2005 ... taken with e mighty Band of Brothez .. durin their cell time! - Ken, Lance, Jonathan, Benjamin, Jun wei, Jedd and ME...

ken was experimenting with his new olympus camera! n i remember that i left my nasi lemak at the void deck aft taking the picture..

Hahaa... today was very interesting along with that my feelings were like so super mixed. But definately being obedient to God was the most joyful experience in my life.

Why should we be baptised? It has nothing to do with Jesus loving us less, if we havent get baptised. Dont mix all the principles up. Its like you want to eat chicken rice, and sounds like someone asking you- Huh, So you dont like duck rice? Whats e link, man? But then again consistent delaying in getting (apart from facing obstacles) baptised, is suspicious of the person's salvation.

1. We are Christ's Disciples (Matt 28:19)
2. Christ gave us an example (Matt 3:14-15)
3. Expression of our faith (James 2:17-18)
4. Public testimony of our salvation.



Thats my Baptism Cert and something with my name 'Narasimman' -Joshua Teo bought for me!



Matthew28:19 "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy spirit,"

Blessing of being baptised. Btw you wont mystically become holy (Personal experience). Sinning or Not to sin is Your Personal Choice.

1. Heaven Opens Wide- Divine Recognition.
2. Holy spirit come upon my life- Divine Empowerment.
3. God's voice comes to the heart- Divine Revelation. - "You are my son!"


In and Out. Cold man! BAPTISED IN NAME OF JESUS CHRIST.

What is Baptism? - Its a symbolic event in a christian's life. Its external expression of an inward change.

1. Sign of Initiation into Christ.
2. A command in the Great Commission (Matt 28:19).
3. Identification of ourselves with Christ in His death, burial and resurrection (Romans6: 4).
4. Willingness to be dead to our sins (Roman 6:11-14).
5. An initiation into the Body of Christ and submit to it (1cor12:13, Eph 4:3-5).


Hmm this is right before dipping in man. On ur right, is Angus. Abit about him- He was my 1st ever cell leader. He is younger than me but sounded older than me (most of the time). Hahaa. An interestingly friendly guy and has special qualities that make him who he is. Now he is my G12 brother...


Hahaa taking a quick snap, before going to the baptism pool! On ur right, with big fat smile (haha) is Joshua Teo, my G12 leader- Spiritual father. Dunno why we looking at different directions. On ur left is Tian yu, the artistic guy who designed my invitation card... In yellow at the back is Clarence Chan, a fellow buddy of mine- NDU (ahaha)/Amazing race khaki.


And so here i am, getting ready to get baptised. Felt it was powerful. Even though its my personal choice of obedience to God's word, it was great to have friends supporting/ blessing me in what i was about to do.

Requisites to be Baptised.
I believe (Mark 16:16)
I'm Willing to live for the Lord (Romans 6:12,13)
I'm Willing to function as part of the body of Christ (1Cor 12:13)

It was just an invite Tian Yu did for me. He is just great and full of ideas. Although he worked on the idea i gave him, he did a great Job... Dont you think? Simple and yet insync with Good friday- Thats what i wanted. My baptism was rite in the smack of Good friday and Easter. Felt it was significant for me. For i know, He died for me and He resurrected for me.


Before my baptism, Jedd took a photo for ken and me!

This guy is Kenneth. Great inspiration and model after christ. As he runs after God's heart, there's so many things i learn from him. Lovely character to be with. Thank God for blessing so many people like him in my life. And i Thank God for him.

My parents were late for my baptism (was Scared they wont make it in time to see me). Thats a typical indian thing- to come late (haaha)! So i called ken (1st person who came to my mind), and he told me not to worry. So many things were going thru my mind!!! He went to the bus-stop to bring them over. BUT They made it! At that time during worship, "And i'll walk with you in my heart, and i'll walk with you in my heart- find me at the cross down on my kness- I thank you Lord for saving me! Hallelujah x4~ ". That really 'hit' it! It was one of those songs God used to touch my heart with always.. When it was sung, God's faithfulness, forgiveness, face revealed itself once again. And i'll trust in Him.

Today Teck horng blessed me with a book Titled "Holiness". Will read it someday!
