26-30 May: 2010 Asia Conference is simply awesome!
Here's some exerpts and new revelations from the sessions I've attended:
David Yonggi Cho
To run with the giant we need to be giants ourselves.
1. Powerful message.
5 fold gospel: salvation, fullness of holy spirit, devine healing, blessing, the second coming.
3 fold blessing: spiritual blessing, blessing of circumstance, physical blessing.
Through thinking, vision and dream.
2. Work of the Holy Spirit
Not have the attitude of slavery.
Eze 3:7
3. Importance of prayer.
Work is proportional to prayers.
Moves as God moves. By day the LORD went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud to guide them on their way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so that they could travel by day or night. - Exo13:21
Like the cloud.
Bring and welcome the holy spirit daily.
Depend on the holy spirit.
Together with the holy spirit desire for true future.
A form of enclosure.
Clothe our desire with reality and God.
See as God sees.
Speak as God speak.
Write the scripture.
Bring to realisation.
4th dimension by faith.
Faith is believing what the bible says and it will happen.
Keep proclaiming until it happens.
God is looking at what you have and what you don't.
God looks for willing and humble person, not able person.
When we're together with Jesus, we're everything.
Prince Guneratnam
If God has given the vision, it will come to pass. It is a promise. There's no need for others to agree with the vision. Believe. The Lord is looking for you who believes in what he is going to do through you.
2 elements of vision
Breaking is faith before making. God specialises in the minority. All you need is to have God on your side.
1. Make sure that the source of the dream is God. Don't follow others blindly. God will not fail me.
2. Let God be the resource of the dream. Depend on him. God gets the glory.
3. Use what I've got. Not hold back what I have. This is who I am, what I am, take all of me.
5 loaves and 2 fishes: The 12 baskets of bread crumps given to the boy!
4. Don't let the dream intimidate you.
When god gives the dream, it's always bigger than me, because it'll make me dependant on him.
It's either believe or have no faith to see it happe.
It's only shared between God and me.
Do not live by sight but by faith.
John Advancini
Reward motivated.
David would have never killed goliath if there's no reward (to be king).
It's in us so that God can move us out.
Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it. -1 Cor 9:24
God died for our abundance.
If you give little, you will receive little.
Look at the reward, not what what you give.
It brings more joy.
But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. -Heb 11:6
Phil Pringle
Seek Him, not what He can do.
Prayer is the key.
Faith is persistence prayer.
Do not lose heart.
Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing psalms. Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit. -Js 5: 13-18
First purpose of language is creation not communication.
"Let there be light."
God wasn't speaking to anyone.
Our words shape our world.
Psalm of David: transition from God, He, to you. The progress of intimacy of relationship with God.
Start every sunrise with prayer.
Reinhard Bonnke
Plunder hell to populate heaven- the effect of the glorious gospel.
God goes with the goes. He doesn't sit with sitters.
It's the testimony that was brought forth.
God has no maximum.
God is for us who can be against us.
The key is the holy spirit. The holy spirity has no substitude.
Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had appointed for them. When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some doubted. And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen. -Mat 28: 16-20
It's not a promise. It's a statement of fact.
"I am with you always."
It's the power of God. Jesus gives the anointing.
The flames on our heads represents the fire of God.
Dignity is not a fruit of the spirit.
Joy is the fruit of the spirit.
Joy of the Lord is our strength.
Heart of God
I will go and you will do the miracle!
My word in your mouth is just as powerful as your word in your mouth. The point is to obey the Holy Spirit.
Not what if nothing happen. The holy spirit is a healing spirit. Any miracle is possible.
The great commission, the supreme commission.
If you want to catch fish, throw your net into the ocean.
Be on the scene not just the screen.
Message we carry into the world- Jesus died on the cross- it's real.
Working relationship between the work of God and spirit of God.
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. -Gen 1:1-3
The Holy Spirit was waiting for something-spoken word of God.
Original message.
Original apostles.
Don't wait anymore. God's waiting for us to be ready.
Not us waiting for God's calling.
Our weaknesses attracts the holy spirit. Should we not be worthy?
Jesus prays for us.
A.R. Bernard
The cultural mandate is the theology of person and place.
Person in interaction of women at the well: Transformation of people, then they went on to the transformation of place, literal redistribution of wealth.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. -Jhn 1:1
Original intent of the mind of God.
Lack of focus that's why people go from the place to place, job to job, image to image.
3 things to be focused
1. Clearly articulated world view- cosmology- understanding of development of world- biblical world view.
2. Core values. Protects our thinking. Actions come from thinking. Gospel is link conscience and heart. Our conscience either accuses or excuses our actions.
3. Core purposes. Why we are here? determines what I am doing while I am here.
Don't confuse movement with progress. Else going in circles. These brings consistency then security then testimony.
Edward Gibbion- Success of Christianity in Roman empire.
1. Uncompromising zeal of the Christian conviction. Absense of a narrow unsocial spirit.
2. Doctrine of teaching of present and future life with improvement of the human condition.
3. Mirculous power experience in the Christian church.
4. The pure, moral and spiritual discipline.
5. Uniting presence.
Independent for in the heart of empire.
Agent of change.
Changing right here and now.
Self esteem- feelings
Self-concept- thinking
The closer the self esteem and self-concept, the more positive the self image.
Our self image: image of God.

Categories of people:
1. Myself.
2. Family.
3. Relatives.
4. Friends.
5. Friends' friends/ relatives.
6. People I don't know.
I admit that I am affected by how people think of me.
BECAUSE my life is surrounded by people.
And when I started my career as a financial planner.
Stigma. Rejection. Postpone. Having people leaving me or shun me. Discouragements.
~~~ coming my way.
PLUS I need to put up a strong front in front of my parents.
I'm so afraid I might go into depression.
Cried so much that I didn't know I had so much tears.
I need to be strong, cos I'm the only one my parents are counting on now.
Many said why be so stressed?
Or why don't I just go back to ECE?
But I will fight to be a different financial planner.
I just need to chance.
To not sell anything that can't be afforded.
To not sell anything that is not wanted.
To not sell anything that is not needed.
But who sees my intentions?
To bring love to serve, bring hope to help, bring perserverance to build lives and success.
Y is it so difficult?
Jesus, if you could draw all men to u, with ur unfailing love.
3000-5000 men to your meetings.
I pray for that anointing.
Just like how u preached, yet some don't believe.
Just when u died on the cross, yet still some deny you.
But u prayed to the father to forgive us still.
I'm eternally grateful.
Help me to be more and more like you.
That you don't give up under such circumstances.
Yet keep on keeping on.
Lord, I believe. I know you will make a way.
And without you I'm nothing.
I can only make it with u.
No matter what people will say.
Ultimately,
Who can resist the image of God?:)
How difficult can it be?
JIA YOU ADA!

The SOAR Training is simply amazing!
I've learnt:
1. Love myself more so that I can love others more. (I realised that I don't really write good things about myself)
2. I'm ENFP: the Most Optimistic. "Giving Life an extra squeeze", people oriented, creative, seeks harmony, life of party, more starts than finishes.
3. How much I want to help and make the difference. I'll never forget what Xavier and Zuby said, "If one day you are caught in the situation when something happens your love ones, you would want to be the one who is there to help them, practically- through finances, rather than having something to happen then take the guilt that if you were to protect them, they would be better off now".
4. A financial consultant don't just plan people's life, they change people's life as well.
5. Me vs. A stranger. I'm always gonna be the one who wants to help from my heart, esp people whom I love so much.
6. To be serious about myself, my life, my career, from there, I am serious about people's life and finances.
7. Objection ---> Objective.
8. Repect.
9. Appreciate and celebrate little things in life.
10. GIve real praises and tobjective suggestions.
11. Tell me MORE!
12. Child (feelings), Parent (concern and worries), Adult (what I can do now) in every conversation. STAY BLUE!
13. Stroke OFTEN and REGULARLY.
14. Ice Berg Theory (Who we are and who we are seen as is affected by how we portray ourselves to ourselves and others)
15. Scan, Opportunity, Act, Review.
16. Choose to undergo the painful transformation to change NOW!
17. Life is 10% of how you make it, 90% of how you take it.
18. When people like you, they take the opportunities to say YES.
19. Say GREAT over and over again!
20. SMILE!
21. Point my heart towards them.
22. Synchronize body language and pace of speech.
23. No matter how hard life is, as long as you follow your heart, it can't wrong.
24. Paraphrasing works in gaining rapport.
25. To accept who I am, love me!
& more to think about... LIVING.

Congrats Yvette Toh!
Have a blissful marriage!
Heard this song at the wedding.
Really very sweet.
I'm happy that you've found the right guy! I'm also super happy to see the Wheelockies! It seems that it has been sooooooooo long!
When God Made You
Its always been a mystery to me,
How two hearts can come together,
And love can last forever.
But now that I have found you I believe,
That a miracle has come when God sends the perfect one.
Now gone are all my questions about why,
And i've never been so sure of anything in my life
Oh I wonder what God was thinking,when he created you.
I wonder if He knew everything I would need,
Because he made all my dreams come true.
When God made you, He must have been thinking about me.
Ooo ooo,I promise that wherever you may go,
wherever life may lead you,
With all my heart I'll be there too.
And from this moment on I want you to know,
I'll let nothing come between us,
and I will love the ones you love.
Now gone are all my questions about why.
And I've never been so sure of anything in my life.
Oh I wonder what God was thinking when he created you,
I wonder if He knew everythin I would need,
Because He made all my dreams come true.
When God made you He must've been thinking about me.
He made the sun He made the moon,
To harmonize a perfect tune,
One can't do without the other they just have to be together.
And that is how I know its true,
Your for me and i'm for you and my world
Just cant be right without you in my life
He must have heard every prayer I've been praying
Yes he must've knew everything I would need
When God made you,
When dreams come true
When God made you,
He must have been thinking about me.
Tears welled up in my eyes as I listen to this song.
God, is the one I have now the right one you made specially for me?
I am still uncertain,
if I've found the right one,
why am I feeling this way?
*5 years soon*
I'm tired.
I'm confused.
I'm afraid.
I don't know what to do anymore.
I want to sleep.
AND
hide.

I can only get better:)
Sunday, May 9, 2010
I wanna thank God for true friends in my life:)
Friends who are willing to let me try and practice, even though I know that they do not have the finance to buy anything. It's fine with me. At least I get to try:) -Bestie Shing, Dawn, Izzah, Birdy friend, Marlena.... (believe more will come!)
Thank you Brandon! For your message which came on time.
It wrote: "Ada! Whenever things seems like its going no where, put your trust in God and He shall make a way for you. Be strong for His love is sufficient for you. Love you!"
Thank you dearestest! For your message which reminded me of God's promises.
It wrote: "We're limited. TIme time time.. Like we always say try out best! All thingd work out for good those who love Him, to those who are called according to His purpose! Things will eventually work out de. Keep your mental strength there!"
Thank you Dale for the word about the faith like mustard seed during offering message for cg.
It helped me think about seeing vs faith (things that are hope for), to see and have faith it's easy, but not seeing it doesn't mean tt we can't have the faith:).
Thank you Alvin for the word about Faith as not the absence of fear, but moving on even with the presence of fear. The process: Hearing, Believing, Praying, Receiving, Confessing, Visualising, Acting. I need to keep on keeping on!
Thank you Ningzi for being so encouraging:) I would have given up without what you said, "You will make it one day". This mean a lot to me.
Thank you Yvette for the post on your blog: Even if we are not meant to be together with someone in life, no one is gonna take your love away. You can always spread your love to other people! That's how I will handle the rejections:)
Thank you Dear! for being there for me always. You know that at home I need to keep my tears to myself. I need to be strong that's y I can only cry in front of you and secretly to God. Thank you for putting up with my emo-ness. I dunno what has come over me as well. I will and am learning to count my blessings.
Definitely, I must thank my biggest fan! My mama! Who supported me in this profession even it costs her insecurities:) 我会努力的! Happy Mothers' Day Mummy!
Thank you God. For being there to listen to me. Only you understand 100% for what I'm going through with the HS living in me. The emotions. The fears I have. The number of butterflies in my stomach. The things I dread. Help my helplessness, Oh God. I know this is a test of my faith as I've always been motivated by my love for people. But now, people do reject the love. And although I treat others like how I want others to treat me, that is always not the case right? I understand. Expectation management. I wanna fight for you in your bet with the devil. I know I'll be victorous at the end of the valley, like David, Job, Jesus. I know with every tear I drop and every step I take out of my comfort zone, you'll fight for me. Faithful God.
[ Be Patient and Persevering ] Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently for it until it receives the early and latter rain.

Dying >.<
I've started work for 2 weeks alr. And I can say it has been the toughest. Work is not as fun as I expected.
Well, I could say I only love the part where I get to meet my friends! Heh! Financial planning is not easy. Most people around my age would think that it's still early or it anything such as critical illness, disability, accident, hospitalisation wont happen (cos we are young). I dunno how to bring to their urgency about this, as it's really scary if it really happens and you're caught unaware.
Probably, because of my personal exp, that's y I really 'feel' it. My dad has heart attack and kidney failure beginning of last year. Today, he went hospital again due to a lump in his gum (I hope it's not cancerous). It made me feel really helpless about what's gonna happen. Plus, my dad is not covered by insurance, cos it's alr too late. We're paying $1450 at least just for dialysis, not including medication and transportation costs. Cos of this, I'm going into financial planning, instead of Ech. I seriously want my mum to retire soon. I know her knees are going to give away soon climbing 2 storeys to her office everyday. I dunno how long our finances can fund these health issues.
First, I need to learn and train about product knowledge and exams (which I have passed).
Second, I need to learn to handle rejections (which I know I can't). Life is not that easy (Izzah, 2010). I do wanna meet people with the heart to help them, it is not about selling products! Probably it's the stigma of the profession, that I get rejections. I certainly do hope that I don't lose my friends cos of my profession. This has led me into a daily emotional status.
I learnt something about myself through the DISC test which I did that I'm a counsellor pattern. WHY! I dislike it! Cos why do I always live for others and care more about others than myself. I was told I need to be more task oriented rather than being too concern about people's feelings. I dun wanna become selfish:(
yet, I need to do what I need to do, which is to get my quota of people to meet every week. Moreover, most of my friends are either in NS, not yet working, overseas.. where can I find ppl to meet. How? Save me God. I'm so burdened!
Third, I need to learn how to do a proper presentation and e-sub. Kinda dislike admin side of the job too.
There's lots I need to breakthrough and overcome.
I don't wanna feel like out of control and helpless.
ARGH!
Love Me for being Adalene
