ESP10sion 2012 (1-4 Dec)

It's another great encounter with the Lord and with His people :)

In the camp this year, we had 2 speakers. One is Ps Jacob and the other is Ps Edmund. The main theme for the sermons are on the 10 commandments. :)

The first sermon, we read through the first four commandments that God had given to us. And in this first session, we are reminded of 4 things that we need to do in order to stay in a healthy relationship with God. Firstly is to consider God's feeling first. It is because no matter what we do, God ALWAYS cares for us. SO, we need to let God be the centre of everything in our life in order to have His will be known and accomplish.. :) Secondly, there should be NO idols. There should not be any other god beside God. He's the only one that we should have eyes on. Money, Facebook, Twitter, or anything that overtakes God's place in our life is an idol. So be careful and aware :) Next is respecting God. We MUST NOT misused the name of the Lord our God. Even, by not giving or calling names to your friends shows that we respect our friends. So God deserves RESPECT from ALL of us, His children.. The fourth one is to observe the Sabbath Day.

Many people mistaken Sabbath Day as to hang out with friends and not doing anything. Partially is right.. BUT we must know and remember that the Sabbath Day is a day of SPIRITUAL RENEWAL. So, what does it meant? Think for yourself. :)

The second session, we discussed on the fifth commandment which is honouring our parents. This was the most touched sermon that I had experience..
F-forgive
A-All
M-Mistake
I-In
L-Loving
Y-Yield

The 3rd session, We learnt the sixth and ninth commandments. God says NO to suicide, mercy killing and abortion.. And lying (no matter whether it is a small lie, or white lie) is a SERIOUS SIN and liar WILL NOT enter the Kingdom of God..

The Fourth session, we learn the seventh commandment which was shared by Ps Edmund. We are being reminded that we should respect one another. Relationship should not be build based on SEX and it should not be rushed into. Sex is a gift of God to married couples and if a guy or even a girl who is dating cant have self control over their sex desires, then leave him/her because sex is not meant for people who are not married. Sex should be kept sacred in a marriage. :)
If one day any of you readers found your other half, and he/she ask to have sex, leave them!! they DON'T deserve u at all...

The last session, we learnt on the remaining 2 commandments which are Thou shall not steal and covet.

On the last day of camp, there's one special session where the pastors and elders washes the feet of few members while praying for them. And I'm one of them. It's so touching that I can barely keep the tears in me.         The actions might be showing me some hints from the Lord but I'm not sure. May He show and lead me in my future days...
