i believe the northeast blog has not been 'active' enough. Brothers and Sisters, let's turn the blog to be a happening place for both believers and non-believers. Amen? Let’s see posts updated regularly and not once every fortnight, turning the blog into a 'must see' website for everyone so as to check for the affirmations and posts everyday. Let’s use this webby to touch people' hearts, sharing testimonies to encourage believers and to spread God's love to the world.
Okay. This handsome young man (me...hehehe) gonna share with u guys wad i discovered recently. I got into west blog few days ago and saw this story that touches my heart.
There once was a man named George Thomas, pastor in a small New England town. One Easter Sunday morning he came to the Church carrying a rusty, bent, old bird cage, and set it by the pulpit. Eyebrows were raised and, as if in response, Pastor Thomas began to speak..."I was walking through town yesterday when I saw a young boy coming toward me swinging this bird cage. On the bottom of the cage were three little wild birds, shivering with cold and fright. I stopped the lad and asked, "What you got there, son?" "Just some old birds," came the reply. "What are you gonna do with them?" I asked. "Take 'em home and have fun with 'em," he answered. "I'm gonna tease 'em and pull out their feathers to make 'em fight. I'm gonna have a real good time." "But you'll get tired of those birds sooner or later. What will you do?" "Oh, I got some cats," said the little boy. "They like birds. I'll take 'em to them." The pastor was silent for a moment. "How much do you want for those birds, son?" "Huh?? !!! Why, you don't want them birds, mister. They're just plain old field birds. They don't sing. They ain't even pretty!" "How much?" the pastor asked again. The boy sized up the pastor as if he were crazy and said, "$10?" The pastor reached in his pocket and took out a ten dollar bill. He placed it in the boy's hand. In a flash, the boy was gone. ! The pastor picked up the cage and gently carried it to the end of the alley where there was a tree and a grassy spot Setting the cage down, he opened the door, and by softly tapping the bars persuaded the birds out, setting them free. Well, that explained the empty bird cage on the pulpit, and then the pastor began to tell this story. One day Satan and Jesus were having a conversation. Satan had just come from the Garden of Eden, and he was gloating and boasting. "Yes, sir, I just caught the world full of people down there. Set me a trap, used bait I knew they couldn't resist. Got 'em all!" "What are you going to do with them?" Jesus asked. Satan replied, "Oh, I'm gonna have fun! I'm gonna teach them how to marry and divorce each other, how to hate and abuse each other, how to drink and smoke and curse. I'm gonna teach them how to invent guns and bombs and kill each other. I'm really gonna have fun!" "And what will you do when you get done with them?" Jesus asked. "Oh, I'll kill 'em," Satan glared proudly. "How much do you want for them?" Jesus asked. "Oh, you don't want those people. They ain't no good. Why, you'll take them and they'll just hate you. They'll spit on you, curse you and kill you. You don't want those people!!" "How much?" He asked again. Satan looked at Jesus and sneered, "All your blood, tears and your life." Jesus said, "DONE!" Then He paid the price. The pastor picked up the cage he opened the door and he walked from the pulpit. Notes: Isn't it funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the world's going to hell. Isn't it funny how someone can say "I believe in God" but still follow Satan (who, by the way, also "believes" in God). Isn't it funny how you can send a thousand jokes through e-mail and they spread like wildfire, but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, people think twice about sharing? Isn't it funny how when you go to forward this message, you will not send it to many on your address list because you're not sure what they believe, or what they will think of you for sending it to them. Isn't it funny how I can be more worried about what other people think of me than what God thinks of me. (copied from west blog)
I pray that everyone will put God as their first priority in life as He is the only one who knows you totally and love you without any condition. Lastly,since we are moving into the stage of evangelise. I want to urge brothers and sisters that never treat evangelism as a task given by your shepherds or leaders but evangelism is always a lifestyle. Love the non-believers in the world just as Jesus did and share Christ with conviction so that they will be saved too. In this way, the purpose of Jesus's death shall be fulfilled to the fullest ---> saving the whole world. Let's advance the Kingdom of Heaven in one spirit as a church, building lost souls back to their Heavenly Father.

Lyrics
It Is Your Love
Nothing in this world can satisfy me
Jesus You alone can fill me up
I could gain the world and all its treasures
But all those things would never be enough
It is Your love
It is Your goodness
It is Your kindness and compassion
That fills me up inside
It is Your grace
Your tender mercy
It is Your presence in my life
That satisfies
I Give You My Heart
This is my desire
To honor You
Lord with all my heart
I worship You
All I have within me
I give You praise
All that I adore is in You
Lord, I give You my heart
I give You my soul
I live for You alone
Every Breath I take
Every moment I'm awake
Lord, have Your way in me
Shepherd of My Soul
Shepherd of my soul
I give You full control
Wherever You may lead I will follow
I had made the choice
To listen to Your voice
Wherever You may lead I will go
Be it in a quiet pasture
Or by a gentle stream
The Shepherd of my soul is by my side
Should I face a mighty mountain
Or a valley dark and deep
The Shepherd of my soul will be my Guide
Your Beloved
Lord it was You who
Created the Heavens
Lord it was Your hand
Put the stars in theirs place
Lord it was Your voice
Who commands the morning
Even oceans and their waves
Bow at Your feet
Lord who am I
Compared to Your glory, oh Lord
Lord who am I
Compared to Your Majesty
I'm Your beloved
Your creation
And You love me as I am
Have called me chosen
For Your Kingdom
Unashamed to call me Your own
I'm Your beloved
I'm Your beloved
More of You
Come to me Lord
Here is my heart
Can't live on my own
Can't live without You
I want more, more of You Lord
I want more, more of You Lord
I wanna hold You, love You, not let You go
Renew this fire that's within my soul
I want more, more of You Lord
I SET MY MIND ON YOU
Verse
I set my mind on you Lord
I choose you every time
Focus my eyes on you Lord
And dedicate my life
Chorus
Here I am use me
Come into my life
I want to be more like Jesus
Until the end of time
Sing Of Your Great Love
Verse 1:
All that is within me Lord will bless Your holy name,
I live my life to wor-ship You alone.
You brought me out of darkness, and in-to Your glorious light,
Forever I will sing of Your great love, Forever I will sing of Your great love.
Verse 2:
I love to see You glorified, to see You lifted high,
I yearn to see all na-tions bow their knee.
Itâs You alone Lord Jesus who can cause the coldest heart
To find Your love and everlasting peace, To find Your love and everlasting-peace.
Chorus:
Ho-ly, Ho-ly, Ho-ly is the-Lord
Ho-ly, Ho-ly, Ho-ly is the-Lord.
Bridge:
And Your trumpet will sound, And all of heaven will know
That the time has finally come, For the bride to take her place.
And weâll hear the angels sing
Follow
where can i hide, where your love cannot reach me
where can i go, where your arms, they're not here for me
where can i run to, where i cannot feel your love
'cause Jesus Your love rescued me
so i'll follow after You
wherever you take me, i'm following you
i'm gonna follow you
in everything i say, in everything i do
i'm gonna follow you
in every step i take, i know you're with me
i'm gonna follow you
i'm taking up my cross, i'm following you
i'm gonna follow you
You're everything that i live for
i'll follow after you
everyday of my life Lord
i'll follow after you
i'm gonna follow you
i'll follow after you
We Are the Reason
As little children
We would dream of Christmas morn'
Of all the gifts and toys
We knew we'd find
But we never realized
A baby born one blessed night
Gave us the greatest gift of our lives
We were the reason
That He gave His life
We were the reason
That He suffered and died
To a world that was lost
He gave all He could give
To show us the reason to live
As the years went by
We learned more about gifts
The giving of ourselves
And what that means
On a dark and cloudy day
A man hung crying in the rain
All because of love, all because of love
I've finally found the reason for living
It's in giving every part of my heart just to Him
In all that I do every word that I say
I'll be giving my all just for Him, for Him
We are the reason
that He gave His life
We are the reason that
He suffered and died
To a world that was lost
He gave all that He could give
To show us the reason to live
He is the reason to live....
Shout To The Lord
My Jesus, My Saviour
Lord there is none like you
All of my days, I want to praise
The wonders of your mighty love
My comfort, My Shelter
Tower of refuge and strength
Let every breath, all that I am
Never cease to worship you
(chorus)
Shout to the Lord, all the earth
Let us sing. Power and majesty, praise to the king.
Mountains bow down and the seas will roar
At the sound of your name
I sing for joy at the work of your hands
Forever I'll love you, forever I'll stand
Nothing compares to the promise I have in you
(chorus)
My Jesus, My Saviour
Lord there is none like you
All of my days, I want to praise
The wonders of your mighty love
My Comfort, My Shelter
Tower of refuge and strength
Let every breath, all that I am
Never cease to worship you
(chorus)
(chorus x2)
Nothing compares to the promise I have in you
Nothing compares to the promise I have in you
Nothing compares to the promise I have in you
Come Holy Spirit
Come Holy Spirit fall on me now
I need Your anointing come in your power
I love you holy spirit
Youâre captivating my soul
And everyday
I grow to love you more
Iâm reaching for your heart
You hold my life in your hand
Drawing me closer to you
I feel your power renew
Nothing compares to this place
Where I can see you face to face
I worship you
In spirit and in truth
How Could I Live
How could I live without You
How could I survive
Without Your love
Without Your touch
You're the One that heals me
And cleanses my heart
And sets me free
Now i come right before You
With my hands lifted up
With my heart humbly bowed
At Your work on the cross
As You hang there and die
You were paying the price
For my life, For my life
For Your love is higher than the heavens
Deeper than the seas
And all I want is You in my life
Noone else can satisfy my soul
Can make me feel this way
Only You Lord, only You
Emmanuel
Together in this place of worship
Your greatness we proclaim
We stand as one in giving You
All glory and acclaim
To You our hearts are open
To You our hands we raise
Come take the place of honour in our lives
Emmanuel
Our God is with us
Prince of Peace Mighty One
The Ever-living God
See the praises of our Saviour
Rise to open skies
With the dawning of redemption
Your glory will arise
For You alone are worthy
Here in Zion you are praised
Our Lord and King forever
You will reign
Draw Me Close
Draw me close to you
Never let me go
I'll lay it all down again
To hear you say that I'm Your friend
You are my desire
No one else will do
Cause no one else could take Your place
To feel the warmth of Your embrace
Help me find the way
Lead me back to you
You're all I want
You're all I've ever needed
You're all I want
Help me know You are near

That seeks Your face, O' God of Jacob

How Great is our God
by Chris Tomlin
album: Arriving (2004)
The splendor of a King, clothed in majesty
Let all the earth rejoice
All the earth rejoice
He wraps himself in Light, and darkness tries to hide
And trembles at His voice
Trembles at His voice
How great is our God, sing with me
How great is our God, and all will see
How great, how great is our God
Age to age He stands
And time is in His hands
Beginning and the end
Beginning and the end
The Godhead Three in One
Father Spirit Son
The Lion and the Lamb
The Lion and the Lamb
Name above all names
Worthy of all praise
My heart will sing
How great is our God
How great is our God, sing with me
How great is our God, and all will see
How great, how great is our God
The Heart of Worship
When the music fades
All is stripped away
And I simply come
Longing just to bring
Something that's of worth
That will bless Your heart
I'll bring You more than a song
For a song in itself
Is not what You have required
You search much deeper within
Through the way things appear
You're looking into my heart
I'm coming back to the heart of worship
And it's all about You,
It's all about You, Jesus
I'm sorry, Lord, for the thing I've made it
When it's all about You,
It's all about You, Jesus
King of endless worth
No one could express
How much You deserve
Though I'm weak and poor
All I have is Yours
Every single breath
I'll bring You more than a song
For a song in itself
Is not what You have required
You search much deeper within
Through the way things appear
You're looking into my heart
I'm coming back to the heart of worship
And it's all about You,
It's all about You, Jesus
I'm sorry, Lord, for the thing I've made it
And it's all about You,
It's all about You, Jesus
I'm coming back to the heart of worship,
And it's all about You,
It's all about You, Jesus
I'm sorry, Lord, for the thing I've made it
And it's all about You,
It's all about You, Jesus
