15th MNC 2010 Experience~

It’s my first time in MNC, I longed for it since November before my finals…I was so excited to go this convention. Praise the Lord, 15th MNC 2010 held from 4th tp 7th December 2010, in Komtar Dome Penang didn’t turn out to be a disappointment, but it’s a blessing for me! Hallelujah, I bet everyone had fun while learning and receiving the word of God. The MNC for this year has a theme of ONE which really imparts a major role in every aspect in Kingdom of God.



Proclaiming My Identity
“We are, we are the army of God”
“Burning, burning the fire of God yeah...”
Sounds familiar? The above lyrics are from the song Army of God. Well, through this I’ve realised that this is another identity of mine beside than the children of God and HIS servant. I realized the importance of the being an army of God. This is because we are going to have war; not with the world, but having spiritual warfare all the time. Being an army itself carries significant values; bold, courage, sacrificial and be prepared for war. Bold and courageà this will encourage me to share gospels with the non-believer often. Sacrificial à We need to know what it takes to follow Jesus closely. Every Christians should know that we might need to make some sacrificial in life in order to follow Jesus Closely. I’m sure you wouldn’t want to be like the Rich Young Man in Matthew 19: 21~24 who want to follow Jesus closely but don’t want to sacrifice his precious. Preparation à I need to be ready in a few fields; spiritually, mentally and emotionally to be involve in spiritual warfare and also to wait for Jesus’ Second Coming. Jesus’ second coming is one of the motivations to keep Christians to continue to live in lives.

Poor and Lost Souls
It’s sad to say that we living in a world where wrong seem right. It’s pretty disappointment and sad to see youths today spend most time in cyber cafes rather than in churches. Near Elden’s church, Vineyard Church Community [VCC] lays many cyber cafes around it. What I see is the cyber cafes are full of youth during weekends but churches seem not filled by youths? But why is that happening? It seems that youths today has lost the vision of God in their eye sight, they rather seek virtual world and to walk in the darkness to fill their emptiness, to mend their pains and sorrows rather than seeking God. The people need the Lord badly; therefore Christians should start giving our lives to reach out to this people to tell them how great our God is, how God shines light through the darkness through our prayers and cries by giving us hope, HIS agape love for us by receiving the word of God and share them out boldly. **Dear Christians, we must remember that only WE can share the Living Words of HIS, not others!**I’ve learnt in the convention that we do not need much knowledge, but just trust and believe by faith the work of God through Holy Spirit that will guide you.  Let’s try our very best to help them to find their way back to God again and let them taste the gift of salvation. “They will never know the sweetness of the honey unless they taste it themselves.”

Roar of the Lion of Judah
RWAR~ Of course Jesus is the our King of our lives, the ruler of our lives and Kings of all kings; just like the analogy of lion rules over the whole jungle. To testify this, Jesus is the King of all Jews as discuss in the book of Gospel; Mathhew. I believe the King has chosen us for purposes. Therefore fellow brothers and sisters, I believe it is time to rise up as ONE and work with the lord to expand the kingdom. I use the word with because; only by His grace and the others Faith, people can be offered salvation. Besides, it is important to obey His words; listen to His commands and voice NOT your emotions! Sometimes, we may be confused by our emotions; being “toyed” around by the devil. If we did  not follow His commands and do as our emotions, God will be not be with us and displeased because we are not doing according His will. Then, whatever we do will not be successful if God is not with us. It is essential to read bible constantly so that we can differ which is from God and which is from the devil. Furthermore, we must have the Kingdom Mentality. Everything is we accomplished is for our King; to honour Him and to glorify HIM. It is important to have a “servant heart” to serve HIM full-heartedly; no matter in a big or small tasks because HE sees your heart & motives [sincerity] not based on quantity.

Therefore, what’s best for us is to seek God so that we can ensure we are doing things according to His Will. Well, I hope everyone enjoyed reading this pretty long article, perhaps I should write more XD. I would have regretted if I miss out this MNC 2010 because it’s a marvellous experience! Remember, our God is Love; may HIS love takes us deeper to continue to praise and worship HIM. God Bless~
