A Report to My VICTORious King

This is an account on what happened on 25/9/04

I, Ng Kian Kee, son, prince and servant of God report to Your Majesty. Holy is thy name, the heavens declares.

Niap was once the most hardcore skeptic I have ever met.Seriously. "I want to earn my own merit to go to heaven." and blah blah blah skeptics' viewpoints. But now, Christ has entered his life. I was compelled to write this entry even though in my tag board, I mentioned I was so pressed for time. Heart of steel, I must say of niap's past. Now a heart of passion and faith for the Lord. Continue to thirst for Him man, way to go. Deuteronomy 4:29 -"But if from there you seek the LORD your God, you will find him if you look for him with all your heart and with all your soul."

Actually, I've discovered the best comes to those who least expects it. It just happened, too serious too soon. I didn't really catch up with his progress in this path of salvation. God works miracles. Praise to God. Seriously, I wasn't expecting his heart to be moved so soon. I thought it would takes years to move him. God touched his heart, He sent His everlasting love deep deep, down down, deep down in his heart. Oh yes, deep deep, down down, deep down in his heart. I was thinking of all the B.o.m.B members, he was the most extreme and difficult case. Little did I know, God planned Him to be seventh member to accept Christ. 7 down, 3 more to go. Ruilin, wen bin and wei kean. It just feels so much like counting down, and when it is zero, a blessing will "explode" into this group of friends. Niap is changing, one day, he will not be what he was in the past. A great testimony for You, My LORD. Continue to mould him.

It was service. When Ps. Mak prayed for the unsaved people, our eyes were all close. But I was naughty. I peeked. I peeked at niap. Once Ps. Mak finished saying his invitation, niap's hand shot up in a flash. wow, so enthu sia. Ya, he was consolidated and so on and so forth, got his bible, registered his particulars. There is the baby christian fire, burning within him. He took the Word and started reading on the bus, in the past, he wouldn't believe what the Word says is real. I was so touched by God. Oh God, You work mighty wonders. He smsed me a few days ago, "God rocks! I love praying." wow again. God's already answering his prayers. That's the assurances He gives to the non-Christians. Thy will be done in him.

I want to share my experiences. Facing a hardcore skeptic(anyway, hardcore is a relative term for you and me) requires tonnes of patience, gentleness and compassion. At times, I really want to smack him, rejecting me all the time. I don't like rejection anyway. I want to knock some sense into him. His teachability level was low last time, ignoring every word I said. Sometimes I just felt like giving up, it was just like talking to a sack of potato but the difference is that the potato debates with you. Kept on insisting he was right, always. I always wanted to reason and share the good news with him but I just don't have enough knowledge to counter his disbeliefs or perfect my argument. All I can do is just sigh, "how long more, Lord?" Sometimes, I feel like I'm wasting an sms just by inviting him to come church or wasting my saliva or getting unnecessary hurt. But melissa told me before, all that you had said will not be void. When you feel prompted to speak, respond to God's call. Pray for the power to speak, in Jesus' sweetest name. Sometimes, too much preaching spoils the brain. It will irritate people. There must be gentleness. Oh ya, never forget prayer move mountains. Matthew 17:20-21 "Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."21 But this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting." And if that doesn't move that mountain, fast. Have patience. It takes time. "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven."Ecclesiastes 3:1. Oh well, Mission accomplished my King. But that's not all, still have to follow up with him. Don't forget to THINK BIG too. P.U.S.H harder.

Dear Father in heaven, I want you to bless the new christians. Bless them with Your presence. I pray that You'll water the faith plant within them and watch over them. I pray that You will bless them with understanding of Your will and they will continue to grow in Your loving hands. Assure them Lord with Your promises and draw them closer and closer to You. I pray in Jesus' most High, Precious, Holy and Sweetest name. Amen.

Song stucked in my head:
Evermore my heart, my heart will sayAbove all, I live for your glory. Even if my world falls I will sayAbove all, I live for your glory. ----Hillsongs(Evermore)

Thought of the day:
One who seeks to understand others will never get understood by others.(Tell me if I'm wrong because 'never' may seem an absolute term)

P.S: I like this song. It's like the intermediate between very rock and the R&B kind. Mild rock, whatever you call it. I hope there's a genre for mild rock.

haha kiki. i am amazed at the simple faith and your great love for God. sometimes i feel parallel to a baby christian even though i've been a christian for years. perhaps it really takes time and patience and gentleness and all that before someone so hardcore can come to Christ. I love ur blog. It gives me more faith and always reminds me that our God is an awesome God when i'm down at the shit pits. Niap's testimony is exactly what I need to pray somemore for someone whom i've been praying for, for ages. Lord provides and answers indeed! Praise the Lord. =)
