Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the bright and morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours

Who Am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
and watch me rise again
Who Am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me

whom shall i fear
whom shall i fear
i am yours

Even as last week sermon has just pasted,

Let's us all take some time off this week to begin to evaluate our own lives

You can ask yourselves these questions

(1) What are your main desires?
(2) In what extent do you control how i live, relate to others or my own stewardship of money?
(3) What are my priorities?
(4) What should they actually be?

Reflect upon it all:)

I noticed that it's so true when Pastor Daniel mentioned that the more I have the more expensive things I want. When we covet, we won't be contented. I will learn to desire the right things – that is equivalent to heavenly treasures. I'm doing techniques of advertising this semester and I'm supposed to do an ad to promote for state of NY tourism board…Ah! I'm encouraging people to covet.

Joey

Yes we need contentment. All you need is contentment. It will bring you joy, love peace, and all the fruits of the Spirit. Contentment is free of charge. You can purchase it at the prayer counter, when you buy the precious item. Place contentment at your heart, then mind. Nest use your will to activate it. When it is activated, you'll feel spiritually wealthy. When so, you send blessing and obey the principle, "freely receive and freely give". When that takes place, you bless others. God is pleased and gives you more contentment. Here we see a perfect contentment. Here we see a perfect contentment economy model.

Verlyn

Coveting is so serious. God doesn't allow it because He knows that it will destroy. This kind of desire is destructive! Contentment can only be filled by God and no one else. No Arabic uncle can help. Only God and Him alone.Q

Hui Wen

Today's sermon is very chim. I don't really understand the sermon, but I find it very true about something that Pastor said. That when we covet, we are never satisfied with what we have. We would want more and more and at the end, we find that what we have owned is meaningless. Ecclesiastes 1-3 really taught me alt that contentment is found in God, chasing after things that do not last for eternal is really just chasing after the wind.

Anyu

Hmm, seems a little similar to 40 days of purpose. If we don't live according to what God created us for, we are really wasting our time. I liked the 'analogy' on the rich businessman and the poor fisherman. We can enjoy life or live a purposeful and contented life with or without materials/possessions. Today, I really questioned myself: "Am I a millionaire/billionaire in heaven?" I seriously hope so that I am. So today's sermon really pushed and encouraged me to start working on my relationship with God, because that's worthy! That's what I should "covet"!

Muxin

Coveting, this sermon is really impactful. Converting is really dangerous; I didn't know it can lead to o many sins. I am determined to place God first, and then everything will fall in place.

Edwin

Ha, seriously I was coveting during sermon, concluding the "ten tablet truths" makes me really glad that God had even given us such joy rewarding laws. Jesus even come and 2nd it to boost its importance. I will be contented with a bugatti, no need Lamborghini

Xingyu

Today's sermon was very packed with anecdotes and explanations. Just makes me wonder, how would we know for sure what we do is it coveting or not. It is very not sticky issues when it comes to coveting, for example is it coveting if you go against the grain of the world which is to covet for a laugh. But in particular, I like the ST Augustine quote. It's cool

Shi Ping

Today pastor preached on the 10th commandment, which is do not covet. The sermon was a but deep. Some parts I think we will need more time to digest. To conclude the whole sermon, one very important thing I have learnt is to make my life count for God. With so many stories shared by pastor, the one that I found most impacting was the one that they ask a bunch of 90-years old a question (what would you do if you live your life again?) it really opens up and awaken me. To hear such things from people that had already been through so much.

JingWei

Today service was awesome; God came down in a different aspect than what I expect. God touched me and I felt it very strongly. God spoke to me that, I need to push on and nothing is greater than Him! So live for God and glorifying Him!

XiaoYe

Covetness will take God's place in my life. I'm allowing covetousness to reign over me unknowingly when I long to get something so bad that my focus is shifting away from God. But I never get meaning if I keep on coveting, I'll end up like Solomon, acquiring everything on earth but save nothing in heaven. Studying is also a form of coveting and that is something I didn't know in the past. I can be greedy in my studies sometimes and I got the whole rationale wrong. Looking back, the satisfaction I get didn't last long each time so I'm always craving for more. And I'm falling into satan's trap in the end. I shall stop coveting and let God control my desires.

Zhonghua

I realized through what God spoke thru Pastor is that I am often in want. Coveting of what others have and their abilities at times. I rather be contented with less things rather than discontentment with much things. For Solomon to say that everything is meaningless when he have everything a person wants means having much doesn't leads to contentment. And one of the very thing that is spoken to me is for me to give. =) I am blessed so I can bless others!

Alright! Fellow Nissi Elvin-s.... This is the prayer and fasting goals we have set with God for this coming week (for the least).

As we pray for our own spiritual breakthroughs, do refer to this list and prayer for one another during our QT and fasting and praying as well... haha yapz... here they are...

Jingwei: N’level, studies. His health too.
Xiaoye: for Xiaohan to be able to come back to church and stay on fire for God
Huiwen: Righteous life. A heart of giving.
Shiping: Family’s salvation
Anyu: For breakthroughs in new areas of her life.
Verlyn: Family’s salvation and for Xiaohan to be able to return to church.
Sangeetha: breakthrough for a heart of forgiveness and free from bitterness.
Xinyu: less tension between school mates esp. project mates. Rid off bad habits of laziness and hunger( esp. during fasting)
Zhonghua: to know Holy Spirit more, to this personal relationship with God even closer.
Joey: Fruitfulness and productivity in his work.
Edwin: to speak in new tongues
Elvin: to know Holy Spirit more and get closer to Him.
Phyliss: Breakthrough in health. The Ability to hear God clearer (lifestyle) to discern better.

Draw near to God... and He will draw near to you. James 4:8

The Lord will perfect that which concerns me. Ps 138:8

Be assured that God will speak to us so clearly and He will reveal so much to us (=, so do pursue Him with the fullest expectations you can possibly have!
You all are highly encouraged to write down what you have experienced with God over the week ( at least) ... there’s no such thing as too many testimonies....! Our God is too generous to limit our breakthroughs as long as we are hungry for His Foot and Handprints all over our lives, as well as the lives of those we love and concern.

Looking forward for awesome testimonies (= let us thank God beforehand!!!!
