Testimony by Wendy Lee (19/7/2011)
Yes, Blessed is the man who has God in His life! Today, I would like to share my testimony.
One day, twenty years ago, I suddenly found several bruises on my body. I went for a medical check and discovered I was suffering from lupus....

Prove Him in 2010
As the new year and a new decade dawns and
I respond to His call to the challenges in 2010 and beyond
* Am I ready to experience
His love has no limit, His grace no measure,
His power no boundary known unto men
For out of His infinite riches in Jesus,
He giveth, and giveth, and giveth again!
* Am I willing to work till I experience
He giveth more grace when the burden grows greater,
He sendeth more strength when the labors increase
To added affliction He addeth His mercy
To multiplied trials, His multiplied peace!
* Dare I work till
I have exhausted my store of endurance,
When my strength fails ere the day is half done,
When I reach the end of my hoarded resources,
To know that the Father's full giving is only begun!
(Verses from Song by Annie J Flint)
Prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. Malachi 3:10
Will I prove Him in 2010?
When trials come will I call on Him and unleash His power or depend on myself and my mites? Will I know He is able to meet my every need?
Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not. Jeremiah 33:3
Will my faith be reinforced by fact? Not just mere belief. Will I be convinced, persuaded, rooted and grounded, firmly established in my faith by the proof that He is my real God: real in my soul, real in my every day life, real in meeting my needs?
Will I trust Him enough to say to Him, "Father, do whatever You need to do in my life"? Or will I cave in and fall apart over the unknown? Will I know that I serve a God Who knows everything and controls everything? Will I have enough faith in Him to trust Him to do the best thing for me? Or will I insist and retain control,
and then make a mess of things?
Will I humble myself before God and rely on Him, not on myself?
Will I remember that in testing, God is trying to strengthen me and to prove that He is my Almighty God through lessons of faith, correction, endurance, peace that passeth all understanding?
Will I believe it is all for my good? And know that " all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to His purpose.."Romans 8:28.
Will I know that I am "an heir of God and a joint-heir of Jesus Christ"?
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with Him, that we may be also glorified together. Romans 8:14-17.
Come end of 2010, will I lack that indisputable proof of God in my life?
Will I still be in the nursery - refusing to pray and study the Word of God, will I be drinking "milk" instead of enjoying "meat" of it?
Will I keep requiring the same old lessons,
over and over and over again and not grow in my relationship with Him?
Will I have advanced in Him?
Will I be led by the Spirit of God in 2010?
O Lord, please be my Leader!

Only One Life
Author Unknown
Two little lines I heard one day,Traveling along life's busy way;
Bringing conviction to my heart,
And from my mind would not depart;
Only one life, 'twill soon be past, Only what's done for Christ will last.
Only one life, yes only one, Soon will its fleeting hours be done;
Then, in 'that day' my Lord to meet,
And stand before His Judgement seat;
Only one life,'twill soon be past, Only what's done for Christ will last.
Only one life, the still small voice, Gently pleads for a better choice
Bidding me selfish aims to leave, And to God's holy will to cleave;
Only one life, 'twill soon be past, Only what's done for Christ will last.
Only one life, a few brief years, Each with its burdens, hopes, and fears;
Each with its clays I must fulfill, living for self or in His will;
Only one life, 'twill soon be past, Only what's done for Christ will last.
When this bright world would tempt me sore,
When Satan would a victory score;
When self would seek to have its way, Then help me Lord with joy to say;
Only one life, 'twill soon be past, Only what's done for Christ will last.
Give me Father, a purpose deep, In joy or sorrow Thy word to keep;
Faithful and true what e'er the strife, Pleasing Thee in my daily life;
Only one life, 'twill soon be past, Only what's done for Christ will last.
Oh let my love with fervor burn, And from the world now let me turn;
Living for Thee, and Thee alone, Bringing Thee pleasure on Thy throne;
Only one life, "twill soon be past, Only what's done for Christ will last.
Only one life, yes only one, Now let me say,"Thy will be done";
And when at last I'll hear the call, I know I'll say "twas worth it all";
Only one life,'twill soon be past, Only what's done for Christ will last.
He moved my car
by Evelyn Goh
"Behold He that keepeth Israel neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord is thy keeper, the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: He shall preserve Thy soul. The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, even forever more." Psalm 121:4-8.
The Lord knew before I knew that I was going to black out while driving and turning a bend at Upper East Coast Road on Tuesday May 19, 2009 at 11.15am on my way to fetch my niece from her kindergarten.
I was driving in the centre lane of the two lane road and was manoevering the road bend when to my astonishment my car was practically "dragged" to the curb-side by the Lord. When the left front wheel hit the curb, I hit the brake and immediately felt the car in motion, spinning as if the left wheels were losing air and the car was landing on its left side. Then it was dark all round. While this was happening I breathed the name of Jesus and claimed protection under His precious blood .
Thank God for His protection as the car on the left lane behind me gave me way and the vehicle behind me in the centre lane honked and overtook me. I could hear other cars blaring their horns (as in a distance in my semi-conscious state) as they passed, for my car was parked at an angle by the curbside and was in the way at the road bend with double yellow lines.
When I felt better, I looked at my rear view mirror and got into gear to continue to my destination. Then I saw a traffic cop on his motor cycle approaching. He could have given me a hefty fine for parking at the double yellow lines. It was time for me to move on to my destination without any harm to others, self and car and no hefty traffic fine.
Praise the Lord - my Protector never slumbers nor sleep. I thank God His Word is ever true. He saves and He really saved my pocket too from a hefty fine and any cost of repairs for my car or third party claims in these times.
