Everyone needs compassion
And love that never fails
Let mercy fall on me
When everyone needs forgiveness
Kindness of the Saviour
The Hope of the nation
Saviour, He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave
So take me as you find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Everything that i believe in
Now i surrender
Shine a light in and
let the whole world see
Singing, for the glory of the risen king
Jesus, Shine a light and
let the whole world see
Singing for the glory of the risen king

Dear beloveds,
Here's a short summary of what was preached on Sunday by Pastor Brian Houston. For those of you who missed the service or sat through but didn't understand, he was basically saying that God has given to each of us a certain amount of influence (may be through our gifting or position) and not to despise it but be faithful to it because He can use it to bring glory to Him. He also reminds us not to lose sight of what God has placed in our hearts when we are faced with distractions in the form of opposition or attacks but to stay faithful to it. When what we are doing lines up with the dreams that God has put in our hearts and the words that we speak about it, great things will happen.
- Neh 8:4-6
- You have a platform – don’t underestimate the platform that you have
- Be a steward over the platform God has given to you
- Even an attack can become a testimony for God
- You have a platform:
- of purpose,
- of stature (elevated platform),
- that brings glory to God (being faithful to the platform) and
- has great impact and influence (a place where great things can happen)
- God uses people so don’t undervalue what is in your hands
- The statue of your platform will grow when you are faithful to it
- There is always a Hitler (represents opposition) in the crowd – don’t come down to his level or let his voice determine the way in which you live
- Jesus fulfilled God’s purpose by staying on the cross even when people were mocking and questioning Him
- “If you are the Son of God..” – the people questioned Jesus’ authority. Don’t let your authority as a child of God to be undermined.
- Neh 6: 1-3 God had given Nehemiah a dream to rebuild the wall but there were people trying to get him to come down.
- Distractions may come in the form of mindsets or values to cause you to stray from the bigness that is in your heart
- Some people never stepped up into the opportunities that they have
- Don’t let the fear of making a mistake stop you from taking the adventure of faith
- Psalm 45:1 When what you have in your heart, your platform and the words that you confess line up, it is powerful.
Be blessed! =)
Love,
Coach Mel

Hello my BELOVED R.A.D.I.C.A.L.!!
Blessed Blessed New Year!! =) I’m really excited for this year because of the new things that are happening in my life and the expectancy of GOOD THINGS that I know God has in store for me and all of you as well. I’m already hearing some of the good things that are happening to some of you and I know that God is positioning many of you in your schools in leadership roles or opening doors for you to take part in competitions and so on. Know that it’s the favour of God at work and that same favour will equip you for the work that is to come. God will use you in these positions of influence to show forth His glory so go and shine for Him!!
For those of you whom I haven’t gotten to catch up with yet, know that the favour of God is going to be so strong in your life and God’s blessings are going to hit you left, right, centre and everywhere. Just picture a giant magnet (that’s you) and the many pieces of metallic objects that are drawn to it (God’s blessings). That’s how it’s going to be this year, a year of MANIFESTED BLESSINGS!
Some of you might know that I am currently looking for a new job and while waiting for it to come, our Daddy God gave me TWO openings for a temporary job in a single day. I’ve already started working at one of the two places so He is really faithful to take care of our needs. The best part is, I’m really enjoying what I’m doing though I’m given rather tight timelines and I look forward to going to work! I pray that it will be the same for all of you going to school as well, that it’ll just be so good that you’ll look forward to it! If you find that your year hasn't started off too well, don't be disheartented. Know that it's just gonna get better because the BLESSINGS of God are upon you!
We’ll be having our very first DG session this Friday evening at Cressebella’s house!! Come expecting to receive from Daddy God and be blessed by one another.=) Details are as follows:
Venue: Blk 99C Toa Payoh Lor 2 #08-21
Time : 7.30 – 9.30pm
Meeting info: Braddell MRT Station Control @ 7pm
Remember to sms me to let me know if you are coming so we’ll know whether to wait for you.
See all of you soon and have a FAVOUR-FILLED week ahead! The dew of heaven be upon you! Daddy's beloved princess,
Coach Mel
Deut 28:2 And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you if you heed the voice of the Lord.
(Jesus has obeyed so that the blessings will be yours today!)

Good day everyone, how was school today! Its the third day of school and is everyone getting settled alright or are you recovering from the shock after being in holiday mood for so long and nearly forgetting there is something called school work.Our of curiosity, how does it feel to be 1 year older, and with another badge of juniors under you, (referring to all new sec 1s)and for some, how is it lugging your bag an extra level to your new classrooms? Well whatever it is, hope all the people here are doing well and looking forward to a great new year saturated with god's blessing.
HAHA all that prep talk. Always wanted to do that :)
Well if you aren't settled down as yet, you'll have the entire weekend to do so and chill, so yippee!
Greatest apologies to all you toons. I probably will not be able to come for many dare and Dg sessions now that school has started... in addition I'll be going to main service with my parents now but yeah what is one to do? *looks resigned* I'll try to stay on track and will pop in from time to time but thats more or less all. Yup yup BTW you all rock! Keep me updated okay? Thanks.
Cheers
