tze teng is back for blogging! =)

whoa!!! it has been ages i didnt blog at simply blog.. well, one of the main reason is due to my LAZINESS to post something up..!!! hahaha
lots of events and lots of things have been happening in the past months.. for eg, started my year 2, my results, trip to aussie, my uncle passed away, my lecturer passed away, have been eating out and taking swimming classes, my 21st party, gaining weight and etc..

i've back from aussie bout a month ago.. time flies..my sem 2 has begun.. =( this will be my last hol in this whole year..

okay, i would love to blog about my vacation in sydney and not to forget what i've learnt from hillsong conference which deeply impacted me.

frankly speaking, it was the most awesome conference that i have ever attended before. yep, the conference + the airticket+ the expenses have cost me a bomb, but what i got in return was far more than i can imagined. God is indeed really good, He sent me there and fed me well with His spiritual food. i know in my heart i was there for hillsong not by accident nor by chances but truly by the divine appointment from God.There 10 night rallies and we actually missed one of it, cause we were totally flat out by the 2nd day. incredible speakers like pastor brian, Bishop Td Jakes, Jentzen Franklin, John Bevere, Ed Young, Louie Giglio were all there to preach the Word of God.The crowd was estimated to be 35000 people and what really impressed me was the logistic in hillsong. it was fantastic and is unexplainable, they are 4000 volunteers who voluntered themselves to help out in the conference. i felt it was like no waiting time if we need to get into our respective gate before the rallies start, cd and dvds of the sermons were produced in less than 10 mins time, not to forget, they are really helpful and cheerful when comes to assisting you. we all feel so welcomed by them. Praise God!! =)

i really enjoyed the worship led by Chris Tomlin, Darlene Zachech, Israel Hougton, steven curtis chapman and Hillsong worship team. The presence of God was very evident, really, words cannot express the powerful time i had in hillsong conference. thousands of people came to Christ and rededicating their lives back to God. i enjoyed my workshop too,let me tell you guyz what happened, i got lost when i was heading my way to the workshop!!! it was at the other building across the road, i was told by ps lee choo before " if u need to walk to ur workshop place, very far u know, u have to walk and walk"..so ya i kept that in mind. so after i came out from my lunch break session, i asked rachel " rach, where is southee( my workshopplace), she pointed, i think urs should be there( her pointed finger made me think the place is very far away from where we stood, so with the map i had, i thought i will get there punctually, okay, i walked and i walked, crossed the road and crossed the road again. i felt something wrong, i couldnt see people anymore, i couldnt see the word Sounthee,i don't know where i am, lots of cars, construction going on, i was alone! guess what? i walked till the main road and i started to get panic!!! i knew i was lost!!! the weather was freezing but i was sweating!!! i was like oh dear!! where am i now? should i call phing?then i u-turn back and bumped into a pair of couple, i showed them my map and they directed me back to the place!! thank God!!!! i've walked for 45 mins and i was late for 20 mins for the workshop!! at the end, i found out the building was just opposite the stadium and is only 5 mins walking distance!! guess what, rachel also got lost on her way to her workshop place, but at least she lost with a crowd of people, unlike me, i was alone all by myself, pretty scary!!
haha, it was really tiring during the conference.. ask lindy!! poor her, she had to walk so much!! hahaha...thanks to phing for accomodating me, picking me up from the airport and taking me around.. it wasnt easy for us to get up 6.30am every morning to prepare breakfast lunch and dinner for the conference. alarm clock rang for more than 3 times till phing saw it was almost time, we quickly woke up and get ourselves prepared. i've been trained to be punctual by her super hurry shouting" quick tze teng!! we are late"!!! i quickly dashed out from the house( swallowing the hot coffee), grabbed my food, my winter jacket, chucked my lipgloss into my bag and got into her car, then she zoom zoom her car to pick up rach, her mom and aunty chealsan to the olympic stadium.. thank God i didnt get heart attack, it was very rushing!!!! serious!! the moral of the lesson is get up when the alarm clock rings, dont off it!! wahahahhahaha

okay.. i would love to share something briefly here which i learnt from hillsong conference.
it deeply impacted me..=)

Ed Young Junior
God is always cheering! YOU GOT IT, YOU USE IT!! (really sounds good huh)
creativity is totally from God,your choice, your style, make sure you will flow with creativity. creativity is all about change( conflict --> growth) and if we want to get deep with Him, we got to get " comforatbly uncomfortable".
so as we continue to stay with change, getting ourselves "comfortably uncomfotably", we will experience an explosive growth in our lives, so GO into the world, exciting to change!! God wants to unleash the creativity on us( trough prayer) and He wants His kids to match to His rhythm.

John Bevere ( driven by eternity)
- believe in eternal perspective.

2john 8: ' look to yourselves that we do not loose those things we worked for, but that we may receive a full reward '.
Christianity is not a sprint, it is an endurance.
phil 3:14 ' i strain to reach the end of my race and receive the prize
read 2timothy 4: 6-7 " for i am already being poured out as a drink offering and the time of my departure is at hand. i have fought the good fight, i have finished the race, i have kept the faith.
what is prize?= full reward

* know that we have to run*
2 corinth 5: 8-10 " we are confident , yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord. Thefore we make it our aim, whether present or absent, to be well pleasing to Him. for we must all appear before the judgement seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.

what we do with the cross will determine where we will spend eternity...
we are in charge of being pleasing to God.That is up to us. Evrything we are building in our lives is either for temporal or the eternal.

1 cor 3:9 - for we are 1. God's fellow workers
2. God's field
3. God's building

Believer's judgement can be divided into 2 major categories:
1. our involvement in building kingdom of God
2. how we build individual lives.

we must know we ARE ALL born with a calling of God on our life.
ps 139:16 " you saw me before i was born. everyday of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed
ecc 3:11 " He has made everything beautiful in its tine. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except no one can find out the work that God does from the beginning to end. - ( He puts in ur heart)-
ecc 3:14-15 " i know that whatever God does,it shall be forever. Nothing can be added to it. And nothing taken from it. God deos it, that men should fear before Him.That which is has already been, And what is to be has already been; and God requires on account of what is past. "

You will not be judged according to what you did but rather according to what you were called to do.3 keys to know your calling
1. seek God earnestly( hebr 11:6, pro 20:5)-seek God diligently
2.being planted in the local church (ps 92:13)- if u planted in a local church, it will grow into the destiny
3. not being entanged - for eg: pleasure, wrong realtionship, money.


ps brian (senior pastor of hillsong)
ps 48.8 - as we have heard, so we have seen
we cant live our lives by just hearing it, but see it, everything change not by hearing but by seeing.
we are living on what we have seen. we've heard what God can do but we've not seen it yet!
ps 48:13-14
serve God and live Christian life by hearing and seeing by yourself.
acts 3:14 when they SAW....( People cannot deny it from whatthey see, God is real , God is truth)
live a life when seeing generation rise up and what God has done in them, we're His people we wont be silent.
so, move forward, live out so that people can see, live in the environment of faith, BUT.. to let people see on our lives, we must be an example, of course there will be challenges. ( predictable to unpredictable)
BELIEVE THAT WE SEE THINGS TO COME!

Joseph Prince ( i got the cd, if u wanna borrow can ask from me)
but one of his message struck me
"CHRISTIANITY IS NOT ABOUT RIGHTDOING, IS ABOUT RIGHT BELIEVING THAT WILLLEAD YOU TO RIGHT LIVING"

Ps Christine Caine( i got the book " stop acting like a christian, but just be ONE", but i'm still reading it, highly recommended to you all to get it cause it absolutely good- is not out in malaysia yet but emilia said can order if i not mistaken. =)
is mainly about how we live our Christian life. most of us are tiring to be a Christian, acting like one, not wanting to be ONE. This cannot transform the world.we are always being into religious activities but our heart is not in at all.for example, we just argued with our parents,being then we go to church for 2 hours( holy for the two hours) the n back home we are back to our real selves. do all these things, i dont smoke, i dont mix with bad company, i dont drink, i dont do this and do that, etc,makes you holier? it doesnt mean it is wrong but it will just make Your life more boring instead.if is only our outward behaviour has transformed, we are not fully transformed yet cause our heart is not transformed from inside out by God. for for eg, we couldnt love God if we still clothe ourselves with greed, bitterness, unforgiveness, bitterness, angry, envy, lust, hatred..etc.. so protect ourselves with spiritual heart! LET GOD DEAL WITH YOUR INSIDE OUT!
blood of Jesus gives you life beyond the past, He fixed the area of brokeness and put all the broken stuff back together. so, we have to understand God wants to heal us and transform us,know the truth so that we are able to shape the future! STRENTHEN YOUR SPIRITUAL CORE, DO NOT JUST DO VISITATION TO GOD BUT KEEP YOUR HEART GOING WITH GOD!
okay.. these are some insights i got!! there are more to learn and more to know!! r u excited???! it is extremely good!! believe me!! =) i love it so much!!


okay, there are more to write and more to tell..i cant afford to type it all cause is really quite alot to share! these are some which i hope you can get something from it. God is really really gracious to all of us!! i shall encourage you all to go the conference at least one time, is worth than what you pay!! u will never lose but you will gain!! i'm not promoting hillsong but i've experienced and saw it, it is undescribable!! =)i'm not sure what i've written up there is absolutely correct but that is what i got and heard. lindy..plz correct me if i'm wrong at somewhere, it can be quite dangerous if i mentioned something wrong.. hahaha..

love,
tze teng
