When i was studying in sec 4, i contracted pneumonia and was hospitalised for about 2 weeks. During tat period one of my grandmother visited me and said when i grow up, i must not be like my parents. i thought it was ridiculous, bcos how can a child not resemble his parents? but now tat i'm older, things happen pretty much like what she said, although not in a way that she had anticipated. I'm not saying my parents are bad, but I had this strong resolution in my heart that i'll not inherit the things which i don't want to inherit.  Excessive worries, fears, lack of planning, lack of foresight, lack of wisdom, love of money, etc... I will only inherit 'good things'. Today I asked myself why. I guess its bcos i'm sick of the kind of life i'm living in right now. I want to be rich. I want to be successful. I want to be influential. I want to leave behind blessings for my children. Seng Lee says ' the only reason why man changes, is bcos he's uncomfortable.'

I'm glad Jesus is in my life. Bcus of Jesus, I have power to change things and to change my life. Bcus of Jesus I know I have a future waiting to be embraced. And there are 12 things the Lord revealed to me about G12:

1. It is the Revelation of the Cross
2. It is about Discipleship. Can a man effectively disciple 1 000 000 000 people? The ans is no. But thru G12 he can. That's why G12 is the key to winning the nations for christ. Win! Consolidate! Disciple! Send!
3. It is Spiritual Fathering/Mothering. Prepares you for family life as you serve it.
4. It is about Family. G12 strengthens the family, contrary to what many pple think. Just don't think this in your mind. Think of it outside.
5. It releases the Women into ministry. Just think about it. Women has greater capacity for growth. They are co-heirs with men. Lord give me a wife.
6. It is about 3-Generational Fathering. You dont seek to just build 12; You build 144. 144 is the key to multiplication.
7. It is the fulfilment of Scriptures: "Be fruitful and multiply. FIll the earth and subdue it."
8. It believes in every individual. Everyone is capable of becoming a G12 leader. God will use anyone who is willing.
9. It is supernatural. Everything that is supernatual invites us into the presence of God. You are not going to make it yourself. Not by power, not by might, but by my Spirit, says the Lord Almighty.
10. It is about the Father's Love. This is something that will take eternity for me to fully understand.
11. It seeks to develop the God-given potential inside everyone.
12. It makes sense. Even Jesus did not try to establish God's kingdom in one day, or in the multitudes. He focused on 12 guys. He knows it is something manageable for us. And he did so for 3.5 years. And after the first revival, they just concentrate on their 12 to help their 12 concentrate on their 12 to help their 12 concentrate on their 12 to help their 12 concentrate on their 12 to help their 12 concentrate on their 12 to help their 12 concentrate on their 12 to help their 12 concentrate on their 12 to help their 12 concentrate on their 12 to help their 12 concentrate on their 12 .....

SOL3 make up

Had to beat my body up early in the morning again... 
For just one lesson of SOL 3 that I missed and due to some screw-up, had to re-attend it (the 2nd time!!). But its always good to hear from Seng Lee. Always very refreshing and very inspiring.

Today's topic is on leadership, or rather supernatural leadership:

Leadership=Influence -> Person who leads People to achieve a (moral) Purpose

Character Transformation
Identity Redeemed (Read "Eros Redeemed" by John White)
Potential Developed

Leader must:
Direct Growth
Destroy Hindrances
Develop Inner Life
Demand Greatness
