Heys all!
We had the ignite conference recently from the 11-13 March and I managed to go for the 2nd night! Good stuff. My thoughts on what I enjoyed? The music team really gave it their all and I was really led into a private time of worship with God. Something that I really felt God was speaking to me/one thing that I took away from the msg was that we all face really bad problems once in a while; usually making a huge fuss about it. However, we need to use them to glorify God! It's about how I impact others to see God in the situation during or after the problem. Instead of just solving the problem alone. Everyone has problems, and we get very bothered by it since we have to face it. But in order to be a testimony, we need to refocus from ourselves, to God and our friends around us!
The speaker talked about Paul and Silas in prison. (read Acts 16:22-34. yes. go read!) Even though they were persecuted, they managed to praise God and bring the jailer and his family to Christ! nice...
Yups. I was going through a bad time about my uni application and all.. And i probably was too stressed to impact others positively. But.. like i shared during cell group, God is still bigger than our problems and he really knows what's best for us. If you have time, check out my blog entry on friendster. It's really long.. but I want to praise God for his undeniable presence in my life! http://muackoz.blogs.friendster.com/my_blog/2007/03/job_uni_.html For all those who are stressed out there now.. Look to God and remember to use your problem to glorify God! Psalm 50:15 Call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honour me. And yes. Share your prayer request on the blog. We all wanna pray for you.

Join the friday prayer meeting!
Hey all! I'm sure all of you have heard about Friday Prayer Meetings for YPM yes? These few weeks, prayer min has spent a meeting each to pray for every cell group in YPM. Next friday, which is the 9th March 07, the spotlight will be on group Daniel! They have asked us for our prayer pointers, and also for representatives to join them in prayer as we ask for God's blessing upon our delightful danielitez.
We highly encourage everyone who can make it to pop down and support the group in prayer. It takes place from 7.30 to 9.30pm. :)
This are the prayer pointers that we have submitted for the meeting for your reference so that we can all start praying already!
1) To see members not conforming to the standards and desires of the world. That members be influencers and not the influenced. That their lives will be totally committed to God and that they will place God as their no. 1 priority in life and look to Him for decisions and answers.
2) A closer relationship to God · Prayer: Commit everything to God in conversational prayer · Word: Hunger for the Word, Also an increased belief in the power of the word.
3) Closer relationship with each other · That members will take the initiative to love each other · Speak edifying and encouraging words
4) That members will begin to discover their God-given gifts and abilities and find suitable avenues to use them. That the leaders will know how to nurture and help them out.
5) That God will continue to bless the core · Have wisdom, dilligence and love to lead the group · That they will not neglect their own spiritual lives but instead God will build them up and draw them closer to Him · That they will manage their time well and do well in all areas of their life (school, work, etc.) If you've got any questions, or any thoughts, just ask the core ya? We'll be more than willing to help you... :)
