Dear my Lord,
Thanks for bringing me to you again today. Sorry that I am late today – by the time I discovered it was already past 1pm and then with the subsequent discussion with Celine and Elise it was well beyond 1:30pm already. But, truly, I could choose not to continue with that discussion so much so I could get to you much earlier. Sorry about that. And I don’t know, though I did keep asking Holy Spirit but I think I might still have said or done something which you don’t approve fully.
My Lord, I’d first like to pray for #3 in the SIC prayer list: i.e. 興起祭師 分別為聖
Lord, I pray to you to cleanse my mind and motives and tongue and behaviour. Lord, let me really be sanctified so that I can be your 祭師 and serve before you in my every day life. Lord, I know sanctification is a process and it’ll never be completed during our life on earth. Nor that we can do anything on our own. But Lord, I do know that you have great gift for us and you do like to see us embark on this journey – to be sanctified, to be more like you. And you have so many blessings you wanna pour upon us that only if we are really to be purified (more) so that we can accept more from you. Lord, thanks for that blessings and the desire in my heart to live more like you. Thank you Lord. Please continue to have HS in my heart to alert me, whenever I sin, or inappropriate thought or action or attitude or speech is formed in me. Yes as said in Bible, HS will tell us ourselves to repent for sin, for rightousness. Lord, please continue to help me to do so so I won’t be a self-rightous arrogant proud person which is exactly what you DON’T like.
Lord, I pray to you for the same desire for other b/s in SIC to go the same way after you, for a renewed life, sanctified life in you. Lord, because it’s such a blessing to their own life. And because once that get started in a church, your revival and your power would come. Lord, please have HS filled each and every one of our hearts, so that we all cry to you to repent for our own sins and to repent for not fulfilling your rightous way. So that we can come to you.
Lord, I’d also like to pray for #4 as in the prayer list, i.e. 全民皆兵 站好崗位
Lord, it’s so important for us to know who we really are in you. What you have designed and desinated us to do. Lord, it’s more than to just understand what spiritual gifts you have for us, but more, who we truly are in you. Lord, may you give wisdom to us and clarity in our mind, open eyes and a quiet heart so we can see and hear what you’ve been telling us about it. And pls give us an obedient heart so that when we know what we are asked to do, we’ll do according to your will.
Lord, especially to pray for CL for this.
And Lord, I do pray to you about our spiritual gifts. Lord, let us be more aware what great power you have given us when we walk closely and be filled with the Holy Spirit. Lord, let us have a bigger stomach on what spiritual gifts we would wanna receive from you so as to serve you, for your kingdom and to establish one another. Lord, and let us be thankful and clear on what spiritual gifts you have already anionted to us and let us be responsible and faithful as to USE such gifts to serve you lord, and others. I know it’s useless if we just ask for it but don’t put it to use. Even if we once had it but if we don’t keep on using it, we’ll lose it.
Lord, I pray to you for the leadership gift which I once had. Lord I pray to you to revive it and help me to work for you more with it. Lord I pray to you to strengthen my healing gift – most importantly not only to heal myself, or even just my family members, but also others. Let it be a great tool to spread and share the gospel. Lord, let me continue to have the gift to give, but to give generously. Lord, I also pray to you for the words of knowledge and words of wisdom so that I can work more for you at work place but also at personal level for others. And last but not least, I want the gift of worship. Lord, and let me do something concrete to make it happen – I wanna do it for you, Lord. It’s just such a great thing to worship you.
And Lord I also pray for the leaders, both in church and at work. For the leaders to be good at division of labour and sending people to do different work but they should all be coordinated and contributed to the same good result. Lord, I particularly pray for my workplace testimony, pray for the vision team, pray for the different teams within SIC, so that things will be coordinated and done in a way which gives glory to you.
Lord, I believe that you have started to do lots of good works in many of our lives. Lord, I thank you for the Cleansing Stream Course for me. I believe many more other b/s also enjoy the blessing and good works you are now doing in their lives. Lord, thank you. Please keep us going as a group, as your trope. Lord, let us be your troup of sharp soilders! Lord, keep us continue in you, renewing in you, being filled with your spirit, walking with you day by day. Lord, and let your blessing and revival and big plan for SIC and the churches in HK and your whole church body on earth arrive. Let us prepare ourselves for that.
Thank you Lord.
In name of Jesus Christ I prayed. Amen.

an amazing day
Today really is an amazing day. So amazing that I don't know how to start, apart from praising our Lord.
It started when I first woke up - I have never experienced such urge in my life before, that I really wanted and needed to get close to God. Though Wesley and I needed to wake up early to attend Sunday School at 9am, I still took half an hour to have some personal quiet time with God before we left home.
There were two verses that specially came to me then. The first one was:
And the second one is simply "我的良人" (my beloved) as in 雅歌 (Song), expressing how much love and how deeply I felt for my Lord then. I didn't do much this morning: not much bible, not much prayer. I just felt so deeply that I needed to get close to my Lord and my heart really cried for Him and His presence. Just felt that Holy Spirit really drove me and urged me to get close to my Lord.
On our way back to church, I asked Wesley to pray for me today, as after attending the Sunday School I then needed to leave for a photo shoot for an upcoming ad campaign so I couldn't join Sunday Service today.
When I left for the photo shoot, I got this stirring in me again. I kept praying to God and kept praying and praying. I didn't know why my spirit was stirred so much. I just kept praying, and I prayed for God's presence for the shoot today and his blessings to all those involved today.
By the time I arrived the venue, I felt so strongly that my own prayer was not enough. I didn't know why but I really felt that it was important that God's presence be there today. So I sent an SMS to Wesley and Sui and Gela asking them to pray for us as well. Then I walked into the studio.
God is so faithful. I felt really relaxed and peace of mind when I walked in the studio. And then I also got the very encouraging SMS from Wesley and Sui on how they were praying for me and bless me with God's presence.
The shooting went well and a few of us, from McCann the agency and myself then left for lunch so the production team could prepare for the next shoot.
God has prepared everything already. After lunch and some chit chat chit chat, Sylvester and Sally needed to go back to work with the photographer first, leaving me, Johnny and Cecilia at the restaurant to go back later till they were ready.
And there we were, from a simple question from Johnny, "did Angela have anything to do with your believing in Jesus?" It carried on to be a lengthy heartfelt discussion on Johnny's exploration on his way to God.
Praise our Lord! God has already done so much work in his life! And I have never, ever thought about he would have such thought and needs in his life! But God has already started work in him and I just need to be there to share what wonders what God has done in my own life. It's just that simple but once again, I have experienced God's truly amazing work.
Lord, you are to be praised. You are just awesome! It's so great to be able to join you in your amazing work in people's life. It's just so great to be used by you in saving people's live. My Lord, thanks for preparing me in advance. As you called me to you, I can totally feel that I was fully filled with your presence and your love when I left for the photo shoot today. As the brothers prayed for me, I could truly felt for your presence and the peace and protection from you when I walked into the studio. When Johnny was sharing his thoughts and doubts and past and experiences with me, I could see how much work you have already done in his life and how much you love him and want him back. But at the same time I have also seen how hard Satan is trying to hold him back and to put lies and accusations in his mind to keep him from returning to you. And I have also seen God how you want to use me to encourage Cecilia and to foster her faith in you in walking a life fully, fully in you. Lord, thanks so much. It's just so fulfilling and amazing to be involved in your plan. Ir's truly my honour and your grace to me and I am most grateful for it. Lord, thank you.
And here I pray to you again my Lord, for your protection for Johnny and your guidance to Cecilia. Lord, please have mercy for Johnny and have your Holy Spirit continue to work in his heart. To clear his eyes and heart so he can tell what are the lies that Satan has put into his heart. Lord, he has already seen your love in b/s he has already seen the difference you can make in life. Help me, Lord, help him to make the right decision in his life in choosing you instead of way of the world.
Lord, I also pray to you for Cecilia. Please bless her with the gift of faith from Holy Spirit. Please continue to guide her steps as you have always done in her life. So that she remains on your path, firmly. In every single day and every decision she needs to make in her life, she not thinks of ways of men but ways of You, Lord. Help her to have a full and fruitful life in you. Fill her life with your blessings.
Lord, thanks again for such an amazing day. And thanks for using me in it. And going forward, please give me sensitive ears and obedient heart, so I can hear your voice and be responsive and adjust my life to carry out your great plan.
Thank you Lord. In name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

popo: Battle on.
(as posted in popo hompy)
It has been so long since my last post! The popo wave at the Chinese New Year Parade was so strong that it seemed to sweep us all. Yet a lot has taken place since then - after all, public holiday was only up to "Nin Cho Sam" and office and work has started again for some weeks already!
I think the happiest thing for me is to have a new colleague joining the department - a fresh graduate, just joining the company, as the big boss's assistant. Of course he's sweet and just like most new joiners, eager to learn and eager to help out. But the sweetest thing is that in him I can so frequently see popo spirit at work!
Well, he himself is lovely, of course. But I think the main reason for him to bring out so much popo spirit from people around him is exactly because he's just new to the department. I don't know for others but for myself, it's much easier to popo a new person, a person with less "love hate complex" or "history" with me, and a less experienced person so I can always play "big sister" and "teach him something".
It's such a contrast when I look at myself when facing another colleague. She is my counterpart in a different team. I have never thought that I particularly hate her or dislike her. I just thought that our characters were not particularly alike and that we didn't get along particularly well.
But then this one day, it's like I suddenly saw myself clearly the first time: that actually I had always been having grudges against her and I had never, ever, tried or thought about popo her. And it was for such a small thing as she mentioned something to my boss previously, instead of talking to me directly...
I was so shocked that day. When I was thinking I have been doing pretty good and popo others, I suddenly discovered the truth that actually, I didn't do half as good as I thought I was...
But I remain hopeful. The fight was more difficult when one doesn't know what kind of situation one was fighting with. At least, I know it now and can start over again and choosing to popo her, once more.
It's a war to truly live out the popo spirit, every day, and we need to win battle by battle. Let's battle on.

Weekly Prayer (4)
My Heavenly Father,
Your name is worthy of all praises. People all around the world should praise you. All knees shall bow. All mouths shall sing to you.
Dear Lord, thanks so much for such a great morning. Thanks for taking away the busy thoughts in my mind and give me peace. Thanks for taking the headache away and give me health. Thanks for even taking the lub lub away from my face which really bothers me. Lord, you are such a faithful Lord who listens to our prayer and answer us in our faith. Thank you Lord.

Just putt down herself and accept EVERYTHING from you, EVERYTHING. To praise you and be grateful for EVERYTHING you give her in her life. Everything, herself, the good, the bad, the ups, the downs, the love, the hurt, the difficult time. Lord, just accept everything from you so as to rest in peace in you, in your presence. No Lord, it may not be bible class or many learning in our mind. Well, actually it definitely no the source. But the only source which would liberate us and free our soul and give us rest and true peace, is in you: our own personal relationship with you, our own quiet time in you. Lord, enlighten her so that she see, soften her heart so she'll open up. Lord, help her.

Weekly Prayer (3)
Dear my Lord,
Good afternoon. Thanks for giving us such a sunny day today. Though it’s a bit smoggy, but thanks for the "smogginess", too.
Lord, thanks for giving me the time to come to you again for prayer and for intercession. I must first confess and apologize, as I am late for our appointment for our time together! Though Holy Spirit has reminded me not to write that email any longer but to come to you, I didn’t really listen but let myself be driven by my soul again and didn’t go until I’m done with the email.
Sorry Lord. I just need to make up my mind to really follow you whenever you speak to me! It’s so clear that it comes from you, just that it’s such a small small voice. Just like what you always do: you’d never scream at us or give pressure for us to do anything or force us to make any decision. You give us the free will, you remind us, you give us the strength and power to make a free decision (once we believe in you). But you will just let us choose. And I am so thankful for that, Lord. On one hand I’m really sorry that I failed you again; on the other hand I also know you’ll help keep me going and it’s a process and I won’t make it once and for all but I’m definitely growing and being made perfect in you. Thank you Lord, for you never give up on us, no matter how many times we fail.
1. Cleansing Stream Course
Lord, may I first pray for the Cleansing Stream course for our church, for all participating brothers and sisters, and for other church, and for the organization who is now running the course in HKG.
Lord, thanks so much for all the teachings and truth in this course. Thanks so much to use this course to bless and build and develop so many of us. The course is indeed a blessing to my life – and I can see that it’s a blessing to Wesley, too, so as other b/s.
Lord, please continue to bless this course so all of us who take part in it can walk closer in the Spirit, in You. So all of us can commit ourselves wholeheartedly to you. So all of us are being made perfect in you. So all of us can win this battle in our mind. So not only all our spirits are revived and ourselves saved, but our souls are free in you.
Lord, please protect all the leaders and helpers for the course. Protect them and cover them in your precious blood so no attack from satan will prevail. Protect their body so they are healthy to lead the group, to attend the class, to care for their group members, and to learn your truth. Protect them so spiritually they are strong and healthy, and with faith they can shield any fire arrows from the wicked. Lord, please also give them wisdom so when sharing with us the truth from the course you yourself enlighten them so what they share is truly from you.
Lord, please also grant your blessings to all the students of the course. Help us all with the homework: the time to do it, the heart to do it, spiritual gain in doing it, wisdom we learn from you we get from it, reflection in our own heart when doing it, walking closely with Holy Spirit as we progress in it. Lord, bless us all so none of us, not even one of us will loose heart during the course. Lord, give us strength so all of us can continue in the course, no matter how tired or busy we are from work or school or family. Give us the persistency to go on even if at times some of us can’t finish their homework. But Lord, please forgive those who can’t finish them and take away the guilt or accusation in their hearts. Lord, let them know that no matter how little they’ve done, you still appreciate. Lord, let them know what no matter how little they move towards you, you still want it happen and that you appreciate what they’ve put up. But Lord, also please pour out your blessings to us so more of us can spend more time in the course material so we can receive more and more blessings from you, as this is really what that course has been to me.
Lord, may I also pray for the churches and the organization who are organizing this course. Not only the churches in Shatin but around HKG. Lord, please protect them so the course can be run smoothly in each and every location. Please bless them so the course can in next term be expanded to bless many more others. For if members from the church benefits from the course, Lord, please make use of them to bless their own churches, and make use of these churches to bless many other more.
Thanks again Lord, for such good learning in you and that I’m able to enjoy your presence so much as I learn in this course. I wanna continue to walk in you, Lord. Please give me your blessing so I’ll continue on my way to walk in Holy Spirit and to commit EVERYTHING in my life to you.
2. Helen
Lord, and may I pray for Helen. Lord, thanks so much for the ceremony this Sunday as Helen became pastor of SIC. Lord, thank you for giving her such vision in SIC to lead us forward in prayer and intercession. Lord, I thank you again for Helen for she has been taking care of me since day 1 I joined SIC. In some way, in seeing her being "promoted" as pastor I not only see how you’ve expanded and developed her but me as well. We really grow together, as individual and with SIC.
Lord, please continue to make use of Helen. Please widen her horizon. Please protect her from any attack from the wicked. Please foster her faith in you. Please guide her steps carefully so she follow tightly where you lead her to be. Please keep on fueling the passionate fire in her heart, her passion and love for you, lord. And please continue to protect the gentleness and kindness in her heart to love and take care of us all.
3. The TUE class
Lord, tonight is the first lesson for the Tue SIC class on "leaders training". Lord, please give wisdom to both pastor Mok and pastor John (!) to prepare for the class. Lord, please also protect the steps for all of us who has signed up for the course. Lord, to bring us back to 501 safely and prepare our hearts to wait for you. Lord, let all of us to grow in you and to mature in you and please give your blessings to the class and be there with us tonight.
4. Pastor Mok
Lord, and I would like to pray for Pastor Mok and his whole family. Lord, thank you for giving us such a lovely and loving and such a different pastor. I don’t know how but I kind of agree with Sui that pastor Mok is quite different. Lord, thanks so much for giving Pastor Mok to lead SIC.
Lord, please continue to fuel with hearts with your vision, for SIC, for HK, for unity of different churches in your body, for missionary in China, for worship, for prayer… Lord, please show pastor mok clearly what your will is. Please reveal your plan to him so he can lead us all to follow you. Lord, please also protect him from any attack from satan: be it bodily health, temptation, financial need, relationship wise with others in SIC or his family. Give him strength so he can win his battlefield in his mind. Give him peace so his spirit remains strong and healthy in you and always close to you. Give him a health body so he can dedicate all his time and focus in loving you and serving you (but loving you first and is more important). And please pour out your blessings to Mok c-mo and Rachel particularly. Let them be Pastor Mok’s strength and support and the gifts you have prepared for his life. Let them be a family of harmony and peace and love in you, full of the joy from you.
5. CCF
Besides our church, Lord may I also put CCF in front of you. Lord, thanks for the many brothers and sisters now attending the gathering quite regularly. Lord, please take care of them yourself so they all have personal and close relationship with you. For those who don’t, please reveal to us so we can go do something.
Please give me the strength and wisdom and time to finish off the 2006 plan – if this is what you indeed intend to do! Please give us a quiet heart so we can listen to your still small voice so that we can be sure what in the plan is indeed what you want, not what we want.
Lord, as we move forward, please continue to guide us and protect us so we will keep a loving heart among ourselves and always put unity in you as an important item. No different thought should separate us from one another, just as it won’t be able to separate us from your love.
Lord, as we move on please provide to the new team your vision. Please reveal to us what plan you have or what position we need to fill in. Entrust all that into your good hands and let us just follow your lead.
In particular I’d like to pray for the worship team. As Jesse has left and Mary will soon be leaving as well, Lord please prepare for us and for yourself a good worship leader who plays music instrument but is also passionate in establishing your throne here in CX/CCF thru worship and prayer. Lord, I trust that you’ll provide. We continue to look up to you to lead the right person in to the group and to prepare the us all for the Power Assembly session. Lord, let us, more and more of us, sing hymns and give praise and to use our worship to establish your throne in CX City, in Auditorium, in this company, in marketplace, in the Biz world, in the whole world.
Lord, at the same time may I also pray for the evangelical meeting tentatively scheduled for APR6? Please bless Frank when he talks to his pastor Stephen. Please open the path so Stephen can come join us and share his witness with us on the day. Please prepare the hearts of our b/s so we have the passion and courage to invite other colleagues, and to pray for them in advance! And please prepare the hearts of those not yet accepted you to come on that day and be touched by your own self so they’ll get to know you and establish personal relationship with you.
In particular may I pray for Ian, John, Anthony, Manual, Winnie.
Lord, may I also pray about the idea for an "alpha course" or any other course which allows such "interested non-believers" to get to know you better. Lord, I don’t know if it’s your will to have it happen if there is no one else in CCF in running such a course. Lord, I don’t want my "rationale" talking but if it’s really in your will and you really intend to have it happened, can you please send me a partner or a teammate so we can make it happen, together? Lord, if this is indeed your will, please open the door and path the path for us so not only a partner will show up, but we’ll also get positive feedback from potential joiners, and right material will also be available.
Lord, I pray for this group of interested non-believers again. I can really see that you have already started work in their heart. Lord, if alpha course is the right way for us to response, please please please let me know –
well, in fact, just this episode comes to my mind: only Mary saw Aslan when they ventured into Narnia this time, and Peter and Susan and Edmund couldn’t see Aslan and they didn’t believe Mary. But Aslan said, even if just you alone, you need to come with me.
And I know the calling from my heart, that it’s so important to answer God’s calling in these people’s lives. Even if no one else in CCF answer God’s calling, I have heard it clearly from our Lord and at least I myself need to do something about it.
So my Lord, let me choose to obey you and do something about it. Please lead my way, give me wisdom, give me a quiet heart so I can hear what you say, and a willing heart so I look up to you for all things and rely on you for all things, to the end of what this course will finally become for this group of potential b/s. Lord, please bless them and may your will be done and your kingdom come.
Lord, thanks again. It’s really great to have such intercession session and really, it’s never too hard to find topics to pray about! Because your spirit is with me and you reveal to me what I should be praying about! Thanks so much, my lord. It makes such lunch time session and prayer session so enjoyable and so fruitful and so peaceful in you. Lord, and I’ve got so much blessing out from it.
Thank you Lord. Thanks for giving me this chance to join you regularly here, and to lead me and guide me and be with me all the way.
In name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
