In this world we live in, there are many things which we are well aware of. Things that we know cannot be withheld back, for instance natural disasters like tsunami and such.

But in this lifetime, there are in fact more things we are in control of than compared to things we are not in control of.

We're in control of the words that we speak. Your word frame your world, it can bring you either negativity or positivy. There is no lukewarm, if we want to be lukewarm what for we call ourselves Christians? Jesus said in the book of Revelations that if we're lukewarm, He will spit us out of His mouth. Words that you say can make or break a person; either you build up or destroy a person. Be very careful of the words you speak to your fellow members in the cell group, not saying that you have to be very cautious of the words you speak but pronouce those that Builds up, that Esteems and brings us back to the start of why we are a cell group.

Another thing we are in control is the thoughts of our mind. What we think is what we do. What we vision is what the result will be. It is essential and crucial to know that the thoughts we think will always reflect our lives. The Word of God says that His ways are higher than our ways, the thoughts He think is higher than ours. So, in whatever you do, seek God. Seek His answer, let Him show you the way. The thoughts of our mind is the desires of our hearts. Are your desires right? Are your thoughts right?

We're very much in control of the actions we portray. Pst Kong preached about Righteousness. The actions we do have to be righteous not just in the eyes of God, but even ourselves. If we do something and we know it is against not just the kingdom, but it is already against our own conscience, I believe there is a small voice in your heart that tells you not to do it. The voice of God comes when you're still and willing to settle your heart to listen. The voice of the devil comes when you're confused, messed and unwilling to seek God. You never know how powerful your unwillingness to seek God can magnify the "devil's kingdom". And the next step is that, when you hear this still small voice from Him, knowing once and twice that it is Him. It is a decision you make, to choose to walk towards it or away. Pst Kong, Pst CK and myself cannot force you to walk the narrow path, the legs are intact to you, the walk is yours, and the decision is yours.

I'm sure many of you will feel that, "Hey this expectations are so high.. City Harvest Church has such high expectations of their members.. Cannot do this, cannot do that. Always pray lah.. Read the bible lah.. Fast lah.."

Well, this is the church of the Living God. It is a church that will not compromise the standards to match your performance, but will raise the standards to meet God's expectations. Many may feel that this place is stressful, pressurizing, not fun and maybe even full of problems.

Well, for me, it is the closest place to Heaven I could ever imagine.

What about you?

Isaiah 55:9 (Whole Chapter)
For just as the heavens are higher than the earth,so my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.
