How Could I Live

This is one of my favourite song from my favourite album (Paradise - Joy Unspeakable). I don't think you are able to find it anywhere now because it is a VERY VERY OLD album and I love it to the max. Hahaha.. It is by far for me, the most anointed album ever heard in my life. It draws you to God. Seriously!

How could I live without You
How would I survive
Without Your love
Without Your touch
You're the One Who heals me
Cleanses my heart
And sets me free

Now I come right before You
With my hands lifted up
And my heart humbly bowed
At Your work on the cross
As You hung there and die
You were paying the price
For my life... for my life

For Your love is higher than the heavens
Deeper than the sea
Cause all I want is You in my life
No one else can satisfy my soul
And make me feels this way
Only You Lord... Only You...

This song reminds me of my teenage years of small beginnings. Know nothing but only to pursue God with all of my heart as a young chap. As you grow older, you gain more knowledge. When you have more knowledge, you have more responisibility. When you have more responsiblity, You will have lesser time... But my prayer is, no matter how much responsbility we have as a person or a leader.. this desire and heart must never leave me.... Just like King David, even when he was a King and was given big and heavy responsibility, he is still the same shepherd boy who love God, and run after the very heart of God..

I need You Jesus...
My heart yearns for more of You in my life..
Take me deeper in You.
Never let positions and responsibility take my time and heart away from You...
Keep me close to You...

Yearning for Him,
Jason Chua

11 Years since sec 1...

This photo really bring back lots of memories of my school days. Oh man.. I MISS THEM SOOOO MUCH... Well, try to find me if you can. Seriously, time passes soooooooo quickly that I thought this picture was taken just few years ago...

Some I still stay in contact with them, but some I dunno where they are now. And I know of one of them is no longer around on earth anymore. But I thank God she received Christ 8 months before she leave this earth.

My prayer is for all of them to come to know Jesus and His love..

I regret not doing enough when I was in Secondary School days.. It is so true that today, I have to say this words, " HOW I WISH I HAD..." If you are still in Secondary Schools, I beseech you to do whatever you can to simply just shine His light in dark places, your school. =)

Don't live in regret, and say 'How I wish I had..." 4 years or 5 years later.. while you are still there.. live it to the FULLEST!

Live the Life of No Regrets!

Make my life a prayer to You

Make my life a prayer to You
I wanna do what You want me to
No empty words and no white lies
No token prayers no compromise
I wanna shine the light You gave
Thru Your Son You sent to save us
From ourselves and our despair
It comforts me to know You're really there

Well I want to thank You now
For being patient with me
Oh its so hard to see
When my eyes are on me
I guess I'll have to trust
And just believe what You say
Oh You're coming again
Coming to take me away

I wanna die and let You give
Your life to me so I might live
And share the hope You gave me
The love that set me free
I wanna tell the world out there
You're not some fable or fairy tale
That I've made up inside my head
You're God the son and you've risen from the dead


This is my prayer and let my sole pursuit in life be You
This life is not my own, but it is for You and You alone
Burn within me a passion that will burn others to passion
Take this life of mine to serve Your purposes and plans on earth
Let me be like a 'Dead Man' walking on earth

These few words have become rare..

"As we humble ourselves...
Seek Your face...
Fall on our knees...
Turn from our ways..."

God...burn within my heart such passion, desire, and desperation to pray and seek Your face...

Late night post...

Firstly.. I don't know why am I up at this hour.. and I don't think I am setting the right example..(please sleep early people.. I want to sleep, but my mind too active..=S)

Secondly.. I think it is dreadful to stay up late at this hour.. unless you are having an overnight prayer meeting.

Thirdly.. I think I should go sleep now and stop thinking..

Goodnight World!

Kinda miss the morning nags..

Morning have been rather quiet...
No nags, no bangs, no lectures...

Evening have been rather quiet...
No Karaoke, no songs, no singing

Home have been rather quiet...
Only left with me and my Dad...

Please heal and save her Lord I pray...
Use me to share the love You gave...

Before I can change the world...
Let me first change my world...

Kinda miss the daily nags...
All I need is faith every lap...

A Pure Heart

Is what I long for...

Give me a heart that is pure..so that I may walk in this highway of holiness..

Why are there so few who will walk in this highway...?

Give me the grace so that I can be part of the few who will walk in this highway...

Please forgive me for those time when I am weak and frail...

Once again I looked upon the cross where You die

Help me to walk through this narrow path

I need Your grace, I need You...

I Believe In A Miracle Working God

As I was randomly playing through my library, and heard one of my all time favourite song (When You Believe) from the soundtrack of Prince of Egypt (Which is also my all time favourite show).

As I was listening through the lyrics again, somehow I felt faith was build within me to believe for great things to happen in 2009. God is a Big God! There is nothing impossible that He cannot do! And through Him I can do all things! I simply just want to believe!!! =)

So as usual, I sat at my desk in office and started dreaming (Opps!) Dreaming to take new ground for Jesus. To pioneer new school outreaches in a few new potential schools! (Tampines Sec, Junyuan Sec, School of Arts and many more.) Forming the East Alliance Movement for Jesus to combine all the High School Outreach in the east to fast and to pray for their Schools, to stir up prayers and burden for this generation to take responsibility of their own generation and wage a good warfare against the Kingdom of darkness!

If God can use Moses to deliver the Children of Israel out of the land and the hands of the Egyptians, I believe God can also use us to deliver this generation of young people out of the hands of the DEVIL who so want to steal their potential, kill their dreams and destroy their destiny! Raise me up Lord!!!

I believe in a Big Big God! Who can do anything! I want to be used by You like the way You've used Moses.. I am pressing in..

When You Believe

Many nights we've prayed
With no proof anyone could hear
In our hearts a hopeful song
We barely understood
Now we are not afraid
Although we know there's much to fear
We were moving mountains
Long before we knew we could

There can be miracles
When you believe
Though hope is frail
It's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve
When you believe
Somehow you will
You will when you believe

In this time of fear
When prayer so often proves in vain
Hope seemed like the summer birds
Too swiftly flown away
Yet now I'm standing here
My heart's so full, I can't explain
Seeking faith and speaking words
I never thought I'd say

They don't always happen when you ask
And it's easy to give in to your fears
But when you're blinded by your pain
Can't see your way clear through the rain
A small, but still, resilient voice
Says help is very near

4 Days of Rest, Now back to work!!

Past 4 days was wonderful.. why? Because it was holidays all the way! In that 4 days I think I did alot alot alot of things.

I stayed over in church with some of my youths in the zone. Catch a movie with some of them! Went for my brother's house warming. Lim Teh with Karen and Daphne at Starbucks!

Went for a run @ Tampines Stadium (I ran 8 rounds!! Signify my walk with God for the past 8 years, and I walked 1 round which signify my coming walk with Him this year!! ). Met up with my zone core for a good dinner at Sushi Tei after our run and spend time together at starbucks talking (Great Fun!)

Then WZ, Cons and I went to watch 'Australia' with Edwin Lim, Jason Lee, Rachel Yang, JJ, Jeremy, and Emma (The show is SOOOOOO long that I reached home at 5am in the morning. I can't believe I still can Chiong!) And my favorite character in that show is KING GEORGE! LOL!!

Went to Cons' cell and shared. Then we decided to go for shopping. I bought 2 tight tight Tees and 1 brown hoodie.. I tried wearing skinny jeans requested by cons.. It was horrible to the max.. I felt that my leg hair has no room to breathe. LOL..

Yesterday we had an awesome service. Great message from PD that gave me a good reminder to put on the whole Armour of God everyday of my life. Our life is always in a constant battle, if we neglect any part of the armor, we may just get wounded by the enemy. My prayer is many of us who are still in church today will STAND STRONG even if times ahead is difficult.

After service we plotted to 'kidnap' Terry and HY. Hahaha. You want to know what we did to them? Come for their wedding then. hehehehe =) After that we went to celebrate Peh's birthday at fish and co. Well, I purpose in my heart that if ever people gonna ask me to celebrate birthday at fish n co.. I'm so gonna reject it. Try going there to celebrate if you want to know why.

Now, I'm back in reality of life. Work! I really thank God for friends and family. They add colours to your life. Without them, life will really be plained boring and lonely. Worst still, if without God, I may as well not live on this earth!! Hehe..I'm serious. =)

In Reality,
JC

Hello 2009!!

Happy New Year to all!

Indeed 2008 was another eventful year (Every new year will surely make this statement.). Many changes and event took place in 2008. Such as changing of a whole new team of leadership, many new ministries, many people been promoted to Saturday Life, personal mountain and valley experiences in 2008 as well. Mum got sick in 2008. New Presidents, many fallen ministers and MANY OTHERS.

But I do looked forward to 2009. I was quite excited when I was at the Watchnight Service (though it was not as fun as the previous watchnight). There was something in me just want to give to God my best praise, to thank Him for all the Mountain and Valleys Experiences of 2008. Somehow deep in my heart I just want to praise through 2009. Though things ahead may not be certain and unsure, just like what Pst Yang shared, to live closely to Ps 91. And my next year theme is Flexibility and New Wine Skin!!! Hahahaha. No la. I just want to flow with the river.. LOL.. ok ok fine.. forget about my theme. LOL

I believe 2009 will be a year of explosion for the youth ministry. Indeed we are in the best time and shape of this youth minsitry. Everything is just so in place and we are set for growth. I believe new school outreaches will be pioneered, communities will be impacted and many lives will be transformed and changed. Geners, my challenge to you is to go for God in 2009. Go for His presence, and Go for the souls out there who are yet to be saved! Get hungry for Him and get compassionate for the lost!

Anyway, had a fun time staying over in Church. Remembering the good old days with Donovan by singing some of our ANCIENT SONGS that we hardly hear now adays. It really brought back lots of memories and tears of our small beginning. I thank God for all that He had done in the past 8 years of my life and in the youth ministry and Church. (Some photos will be uploaded in Facebook. Check them out soon!)

Had a good talk with Cons as well. Hehehe. Dont worry, everything will remain as secret within that 4 walls. =) And Peh, thanks for helping me wash cup and make tea for me. LOL I'm honoured. We should spend more time together and dream for His Kingdom. =)

And I think my zone people are simply just crazy.. they didn't sleep at all, talk through the night! Then left Church in the morning to macdonalds for breakfast, then after that we went to catch a movie!!! And I think I am also crazy enough to join them to watch a show at 11 30 and the show that I've watch before (Ip Man). Then we go for our lunch at TM Foodcourt and then we went separate ways. After lunch I went straight to my brother's house for his house warming and I just slept from 3 pm all the way to 5pm. Came back home sleep from 5pm to 9 pm. LOL What a day!!!

Hahaha. Well. Its a brand new year, a brand new start. This is what I love about New year.. Its a clean page for us. Put all those bad memories and experieence behind, and start anew. Just as what the bible says, " His mercies are new every Morning..."

Thank you Jesus for all that You have done.. give me a brand new passion and hunger for You in this year 2009.

iPraise,
Jason Chua

New Year's resolutions can be bad for you: mental health charity

Before I post anything else, I thought this article is quite good. LOL

Well guys and girls who wants to set 'losing weight' as your New Year Resolution, READ THIS BELOW!! LOL

I have decided.. to put not that in my NYRL (New Year Resolution's List)



LONDON (AFP) - - Making self-improvement New Year's resolutions often leaves people feeling worse, the British mental health charity Mind has warned.

Mind urged people not to make resolutions focusing on physical imperfections -- such as attempting to lose weight -- because they create a negative self image and lead to feelings of low self-esteem, hopelessness and even mild depression.
And when such optimistic resolutions fail, that could spark feelings of inadequacy and failure, the charity warned.

"New Year's resolutions can sometimes focus on our problems or insecurities such as being overweight, feeling unhappy in our jobs or feeling guilty about not devoting enough time to friends and family throughout the year," said Mind chief executive Paul Farmer.

"We chastise ourselves for our perceived shortcomings and set unrealistic goals to change our behaviour, so it's not surprising that when we fail to keep resolutions, we end up feeling worse than when we started.

"In 2009, instead of making a New Year's resolution, think positively about the year to come and what you can achieve."

Mind suggested resolution-makers focus instead on being active, connecting with nature, learning something new and working for one's community.
