UYMG Sep 2007 (Day 2)

Wow, I'm blessed !

Got a book from Dave Lakhani titled "The Power of an Hour" by dashing on stage. Sometimes, to seize opportunities in life, you need to take action. What Dave demonstrated on stage was how to persuade people to doing extraordinary things. He gave a lot of insights of how to use Squidoo to generate traffic too.

Verse for September 7

James 1:17 writes

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.

Father, thank you for the good gifts that you give us everyday. We don't take for granted who you have put in our hands and as we enjoy your blessings, may we not forget the source of all these gifts !

A date with destiny (Part 3)

Well, like Trinity, there's always 3 parts.....

And man, Stephen Pierce is just superb ! I learnt so much from him during the last conference that I fully supported my wife to go for his training. Just can't wait to see and meet him personally during UYMG in Kuala Lumpur at the end of this month !

Something good is going to happen. Can you feel it ?!!!!!!!!!!

A date with Destiny (Part 2)

I have heard so much about this man - saw pictures of him walking through fire with his "students" - are they crazy ?!

Anyway, this man had so much energy in him that he is simply irresistible ! And his emotions are so "mesmerizing". Some of his notable quotes today

If you don't use it, you will lose it !

90% of muscle development comes in the 11th repetition.

80% of success is physiology and 20% mechanics

He also shared about 5 key performance factors:
1. Raise your standards.
- Turn your "shoulds" into "must"

2. Change your limiting beliefs.
- Feel with absolute certainty via repetition.

3. Model a Strategy that works.
- Success leaves clues.

4. Increase your emotional intensity to train and build your emotional muscles.
-Lance Armstrong started winning Tour De France after knowing he had cancer. (To me it also meant don't give up due to BALI.)

5. Give much more than you expect to receive.
- Secret to Living is giving.

After hearing what he shared, I made 3 commitments which I'm stating in this blog so that I can also remind myself:

1. Spent excellent Quiet Time with God.

2. Workout ! (So that I can live long and enjoy the good things God gives !)

3. Be financially independent so that I can get out of the Rat Race. For the records, my aim is to be a US$1 Mil millionaire by Spring of 2010.


Anyway, the image that stuck to my mind was when he spoke about his F1 driving experience and how his instructor will push his face to focus him on the right direction to prevent his car from crashing.

Well, 3 decisions that we need to put into practice is our own "F1 circuit":

1. What are you focusing on?
2. What does this mean to you? The Beginning or the End?
3. What are you going to do?


For me, there is no retreat.


May God be the one that pushes me there !

A date with destiny (Part 1)

Wow, What a day !

Anthony Robbins, Stephen Pierce, Allan Pease and Dr Chiang all in a single day ! Meaty stuffs. More on this later.

While doing my Quiet Time today, I prayed to the Lord that whatever we sowed, we pray that we will reap in due season. You know what ? The meditation today was from Acts 14:17.

The NIV version says

He has not left himself without testimony; He has shown kindness by giving you rain from heaven and crops in their seasons; he provides you with plenty of food and fills your hearts with joy.

The verse speaks that God himself shows his kindness by giving us rain (water - word) from heaven and crops (fruits) in their seasons. Thus there is a cycle of sowing and reaping which we are all under. But more than that, it says in the following verses that He provides us with plenty of food (abundance) and fills our hearts with joy (joy from knowing that His kindness and love is with us).

There is a joy as we abide in Him. Don't dismay when sometimes you don't see results overnight. More importantly, let His joy be our strength !

A Day of Promise (1 Sep 2007)

My meditation this morning brings me to Proverbs 8:17-21.

In the KJV version, God wrote:
I love them that love me; and those that seek me shall find me. Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteouness. My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver. I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgement; That I may cause those who love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasuries.

Wow, God's promises contains so much guarantees ! And you know what ? It's a double promise - durable riches and righteousness. God's promises are with those who walk in righteousness !

It's also a double judgement. And that's why righteousness have to go in parallel with judgement too. However, knowing that we are living in a new convenant of grace, God gives to us righteouness that comes from faith and not by observing law.

What is God speaking to us today? May God reveal to us as we seek Him (early) 'cos He says we will find Him and when we do that ? !
