Talk About the B*** of the Church

There was something about the Church, which is the Body of Christ, that has been on my mind for quite awhile, and that is: if the butt (buttocks) were a part of the Church, I wonder what kind of people are they?

At first, I sometimes jokingly thought "You know those more difficult people in the church? Someone's gotta be the butt." 
No doubt, there ARE difficult kinds of people in the Body of Christ who are, sad to say, just a pain in the bumbums. And sometimes I do briefly think, hmm why ya? Why do these "butt-people" need to exist, or what kind of role do they play?

If it is just because of the fact that no one is perfect, and there is no perfect earthly church, so I guess maybe those are the more "imperfect" parts of the church? But still, no matter what, we are still one body so.. *shrugs~

1 Corinthians 12v12, 18:

12For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ.

18But as it is, God arranged the members in the body, each one of them, as he chose.

Boy check out verse 18, so.. the Bible meant to say that God is the one who hand-picks whoever is which part of the body? Even the butt? 

*whistles...~ O-kay... 

However, when I give more thought to this, I realised, and was reminded of how crucial the butt is. Rather than being the troublesome poopie-holes, they are the ones who actually get the s*** out of the body. 
They are the ones who work hard and with utmost urgency to keep the bad out of the Body of Christ. 
Or rather, DUMP out the bad that was produced inside the body. 

Now that I think of it, maybe being the bumbums of the Church isn't so bad after all. In fact, it is somewhat noble and too many a time, the Body of Christ lacks members who are in this position...

Helping to keep the peace between members...
Being there to reconcile and help resolve matters...
Willing to just clean up the mess, remove what is unhealthy, restore a "clean and clear" environment...

I am sure there are many more functions but my brain could not think of any more for now. 

 1 Corinthians 12v24-25: 

...But God has so composed the body, giving greater honor to the part that lacked it, that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another.

Indeed, no matter what role you play or what you are in the church, let us have the same care for each other, because

26If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together. 

-- 1 Corinthians 12v26

I am not a cause of suffering, I am a blessing.

Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, "Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain." And God granted his request.

1 Chronicles 4v10

I am not a cause of suffering, I am a blessing.

My condition is able to change, God is able to change my condition.

Can He heal me? Can He speak to me like how He did to this person?

Yes, He can. Can He only heal colds but not heal critical illness? Can He only speak in a certain way and not speak more? Is that all God can do?

No, He can do more. A lot more than we can ever imagine. He can make miracles, then why do you think that He can't help me?

How can I be a blessing if I don't feel blessed? How can I change my situation and feelings to feel blessed?

Its not over yet, my condition does not stop here.

I am blessed to bless.

I am not a cause of suffering, I am a blessing.

Frozen Hair Girl

Frozen Hair Girl

The picture depicts a girl with frozen hair, so long its frozen to the ground of ice all around, she has a strand of gold hair and appears to be praying but its hard to tell what is her expression because her mouth is not clearly visible. 

Words are expressions of the heart, in this picture the frozen hair represents words that are cold and self-centered. These words are usually expressed from a hardened heart, but it would only make one stuck at a place,without freedom and alone. In the picture the girl's hair is starting to thaw from the top of her head, indicating a change of heart.

As the girl's hair thaw her gold hair shows. The gleaming gold strand shines beautifully, like words that are decorated beautifully and nice to listen. But they come from a heart stubborn with pride, expressed in such a way it is covered up to make them sound nice it is almost convincing. It is not natural, anyway, gold isn't hair, it's metal. 

The girl is kneeling, showing humility and looks as if she is praying, probably sorry for the unpleasant words she had said, hoping to change her character for the better. Words are versatile expressions of the heart whether helpful or not, good or bad. Who knows what the mouth is capable of and what will it say next? After all, it is not drawn in the picture.

Again, I Cry for Malaysia

Okay~ it’s been a really REALLY long time since I posted/ blogged something long. I have no idea what’s taking so long for Blogger to load the “New Post” page, but anyway, back to the reason I’m typing this. Hehe~

Alright, so I’m typing some thoughts sempena (in conjunction with) Malaysia’s 13th General Election. Nothing really political in this post actually, just thoughts and some personal experience, any info on what’s going on in my country you are welcomed to Google Search. XD *ching smile~

So here goes…

A.S.H.: “Celina, don’t you read the news?? You should learn to read the newspaper, watch the news… there’s so much going on out there and so many problems, if you don’t know, how are you going to pray for the nation?”

Me: “erm… ehheh~”

I don't really read news, I'm not really interested in politics and stuff, and I admit I'm ignorant to some extend concerning nation, world, bad or ANY news that are always reported. Hmm...Yeah happy-go-lucky Celina…

No. I do read news. Not a lot but yeah, I can’t really remember what I read though, sometimes >< Many think that I don’t care, matter of fact is I don’t like reading the news because often times if I do read and THINK about it I feel very shaken and sad. I don’t like feeling sad. Even small news like bullying in school would make me come to tears when I pray. So I read, then I try not to think about it, and life moves on. I know I shouldn’t be like this, oh God forgive me.

Hearing the stuff about what Barisan Nasional (especially the ex-Prime Minister) had done I was like “What~??! That’s just so ego!” I mean, come on if you really care for the people you would’ve realize you’re not doing so much of a good job and let someone else take over. It’s just selfish and obviously you don’t really love Malaysia enough to let Malaysia be in better hands. That ego will definitely bring any leader down, as the Bible says

“Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.” (Proverbs 16:18 [ESV]). 

Indeed, 

“For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. And some people, craving money, have wandered from the true faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows.” (1Timothy 6:10 [NLT]).

Again, I cried for Malaysia. Just the last Thursday night we had prayer meeting at church, Freda let us watch a video of prophecies over Malaysia from a group of brothers and sisters in Jerusalem. I just can’t hold back my tears as I hear of God’s mercy and grace over Malaysia, that there will be great change, so much so that I myself couldn’t really believe it. Besides things considering about our government, there is also declarations of Salvation in Malaysia and alliance with Israel, only God’s people would understand the magnitude of this significance.

The ring I wear is a commitment to God to be a Prayer Pillar, however much I don’t like to cry and feel heartbroken I will say yes to Him to feel His heartbeat for Malaysia and to use my tears, lament and travailing for His glory. Not just a Prayer Pillar but also a Gatekeeper. So cool, Gatekeeper~ haha XD
Was Google-searching “prophetic word for Malaysia” and look what I found ^^ check out these links:

Be encouraged everyone. God bless Malaysia!

The Real Thing

When I hear the thunder

I think of You, God

Standing on the plains

Where all I can see is just the work of

Your Hands

The sky, the land,

With no man, nor man-made thing in

sight

This, is the real thing

This, is my God.

Amplified:

 

When I hear the thunder

I think of You, God

I know that I’m okay

That I will be okay

For my life lies in the Hands of Powerful Almighty God

Standing on the plains

Where all I can see is just the work of

Your Hands

In the centre of Nature

Your creation

I am in awe and wonder of the beautiful landscapes,

Flora and fauna

The sky, the land,

With no man, nor man-made thing in

sight

When the imperfections and exaltations of man

The distractions of the world with its lights

Are no more

What’s left are the things that exists from the dawn of time

Moreover the One whom existed before the beginning

This, is the real thing

This, is my God.

《那些年》读后感

1。九把刀真的很会说故事，有些地方形容地很优美

2。不过一开始就很多粗活，第一个印象有点被破坏 ><

3。主角很厉害，追的时候真的太多手段了，连自己也差点给他骗掉

4。但我不能顶的就是虽然刚开始还蛮主动、有勇气地追，却到最后还是没主动地告白 *唉~

5。主角的好朋友好像比他还要有智慧，又有义气，弄得主角看起来更“傻傻”

6。对噢。。主角有没有父母的？><

7。我认同主角好朋友说的，主角或许喜欢的是那“热血恋爱的感觉”而不是对方本人

8。故事很精彩，只是到最后。。。我不会再读这本书 ;)
