Unto You by PLANET SHAKERS

Unto You by PLANET SHAKERS

I live for You
All of my days belong to You
You draw me toYour tenderness, You make me new
Into the secret place I will run
Where my heart can be free in the
Grace that I found in You

Unto You
Be all Glory and Praise
How my heart seeks Your Face
As I’m waiting on You

Only You
Are my strength and my tower
Fill my life with Your Power
As I stand here in awe of You
I stand here in awe of You


beautiful song...it show us how much God love us and only through Him we are complete and whole once again...one challenge here is not just stand in awe of Him but adore Him and eventually know Him more each day... the know here is not Adam knew Eve but it means an intimacy with God...How much do you and i noe Him? How willing are we to wait upon His promise of life wen life seems to be in a storm? How assured are we in His love and guidance? is truth really set us free?

lovey dovey...=P

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.

If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

The instruction of God for gift of prophecy and tongues

Gifts of Prophecy and Tongues

Follow the way of love and eagerly desire spiritual gifts, especially the gift of prophecy.
For anyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God. Indeed, no one understands him; he utters mysteries with his spirit.
But everyone who prophesies speaks to men for their strengthening, encouragement and comfort.

He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the church. 5I would like every one of you to speak in tongues, but I would rather have you prophesy. He who prophesies is greater than one who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets, so that the church may be edified.

Now, brothers, if I come to you and speak in tongues, what good will I be to you, unless I bring you some revelation or knowledge or prophecy or word of instruction?

Even in the case of lifeless things that make sounds, such as the flute or harp, how will anyone know what tune is being played unless there is a distinction in the notes?
Again, if the trumpet does not sound a clear call, who will get ready for battle?
So it is with you. Unless you speak intelligible words with your tongue, how will anyone know what you are saying? You will just be speaking into the air. Undoubtedly there are all sorts of languages in the world, yet none of them is without meaning. I then I do not grasp the meaning of what someone is saying, I am a foreigner to the speaker, and he is a foreigner to me. So it is with you. Since you are eager to have spiritual gifts, try to excel in gifts that build up the church.

For this reason anyone who speaks in a tongue should pray that he may interpret what he says. For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful. So what shall I do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my mind; I will sing with my spirit, but I will also sing with my mind. If you are praising God with your spirit, how can one who finds himself among those who do not understand say "Amen" to your thanksgiving, since he does not know what you are saying? You may be giving thanks well enough, but the other man is not edified.
I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you. But in the church I would rather speak five intelligible words to instruct others than ten thousand words in a tongue.

Brothers, stop thinking like children. In regard to evil be infants, but in your thinking be adults. In the Law it is written:
"Through men of strange tongues
and through the lips of foreigners
I will speak to this people,
but even then they will not listen to me,"says the Lord.

Tongues, then, are a sign, not for believers but for unbelievers; prophecy, however, is for believers, not for unbelievers. So if the whole church comes together and everyone speaks in tongues, and some who do not understand or some unbelievers come in, will they not say that you are out of your mind? But if an unbeliever or someone who does not understand comes in while everybody is prophesying, he will be convinced by all that he is a sinner and will be judged by all, and the secrets of his heart will be laid bare. So he will fall down and worship God, exclaiming, "God is really among you!"

Orderly Worship

What then shall we say, brothers? When you come together, everyone has a hymn, or a word of instruction, a revelation, a tongue or an interpretation. All of these must be done for the strengthening of the church. If anyone speaks in a tongue, two—or at the most three—should speak, one at a time, and someone must interpret. If there is no interpreter, the speaker should keep quiet in the church and speak to himself and God.

Two or three prophets should speak, and the others should weigh carefully what is said. And if a revelation comes to someone who is sitting down, the first speaker should stop. For you can all prophesy in turn so that everyone may be instructed and encouraged. The spirits of prophets are subject to the control of prophets. For God is not a God of disorder but of peace. As in all the congregations of the saints, women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the Law says. If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church.

Did the word of God originate with you? Or are you the only people it has reached? If anybody thinks he is a prophet or spiritually gifted, let him acknowledge that what I am writing to you is the Lord's command. If he ignores this, he himself will be ignored.
Therefore, my brothers, be eager to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues.
But everything should be done in a fitting and orderly way.



From this, u can c dat God is a structred God and He want everything in orderly.... He command the instruction becoz at dat time the people missuse the gift of tongues and prophesy. They even talk to each other in tongue. Speaking in tongue is a way we communicate with God and dat devil will not understand wat we are telling God.The Lord is also concern about non-believers as He is worried dat speaking in tongue might draw non-believers away and even scared them...God is concern also dat we dun stumble our brother or sister in Christ. For example in 1 Corinthians 10 - So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. Do not cause anyone to stumble.

1 Corinthians- Be careful, however, that the exercise of your freedom does not become a stumbling block to the weak

But God do want us to have the gift...He want us to use it for His glory...=)

holidays

I am on holidays...whew....but i still in kdu....never get one day of free from kdu... bz with chirstian fellowship and campus friends (basically both abreviation is cf haha) cf camp is coming so we have planning to do (some problem occur but by God grace it is overcome d and we are raring for the camp) God will alwiz be with us, Emanuel! Everything is able in Him as God say, is thr anything big enough for me? for Christian Fellwoship, prayer meet is on as usual at 5pm...we also have to set up booth to promote fri christian fellowship meeting...nowadays i on9 alot as i m waiting for the booth and prayer or commitee meet time to come...was quite tired and discourage at the booth wen thr is no one to help me...but God alwiz encourage me and He nvr forsake me...oh ya..i have anxiety over my exam result as well...(scary, result is coming out soon and i am really worry) I remember this verse at this time- in the multitude of my anxieties, God comforts light up my soul.. well, nowadays as i focus on God and receive Him, He show me more of His holy, perfect and unconditional love...i now realized the importance of soaking (receiving God love and presence) He is really working wen u surrender urself unto His hands, wen we decrease, He increase =p God love is holy as in He is above all the creation and He hate sin...He is never associated with anything unpure or sinful...that is why when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, "Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord." read Luke 5:1-8 for the whole verse.. why peter responded like dat when Jesus net is overflow with fish? peter can ask Jesus to teach him the way to catch fish like Jesus do instead of asking Jesus to leave them...This is because peter came to realized dat God is holy and God hate sin. of course we are sinners and yet God love us so much dat He give us Jesus, His only begotten son. peter kneel down and confess to Jesus dat he is of a sinful man...it act a sermon from covlife church (youth retreat mission camp)...

Some people claim dat they find it hard to receive God or how to receive Him or feel dat He is far from us... wat u can try is open some worship songs and sing...let the song prepare your heart to ponder on His love and den slowly invite holy spirit to come into your hearts (God is our gardener, He will plant seed in our heart, nurture it, water it and let it become a forest) one very important thing is u can't reasoned too much about God, u received Him with a child like faith...God also says that faith is something u dun c but believe in...thr is one verse- blessed are those who doesn't c but choose to belive in me...btw, God is nvr far from us but it is us who are far from Him..constantly communicate with God, He wan to hear u =p God also remind us of the importance of choosing the right friends. A righteous man is cautious in friendship,
but the way of the wicked leads them astray.As iron sharpens iron, so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend." (Proverbs 7:17) "Do not be deceived: "Evil company corrupts good habits." He who walks with wise men will be wise, but the companion of fools will be destroyed." (Proverbs 13:20) read the article for more understanding- http://www.bible-knowledge.com/bible-friends.html

=) Ps: Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. hoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. (1 John 4:7-8)Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
1 John 4:11

btw..can't wait for my next semester =) my final semester...times flies! wish i can strive more for God
