Matthew 3:15 And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him. [KJV.]
This verse came to me during arrangement to have psychological test. Frankly speaking I don't really like all these things and felt irritated at time before. I took this verse seriously as my foundation to stay on. Do every thing as they say and live my month enjoy what come by. I am even not thinking about what to do next untill the church really finished the procedure they have to do. I prayed that " If the work is not really what God want us to do I am not even to touch it. Every time I called back to those co-workers who are in the field I was assured from the Lord that the work's we're doing is really His ministry as I recieved many revelation and good news of God works through them. I know not only believe but trust in Him that He called and prepared His people. I do not want to do the work of God. I have just tried to empty myself from the old man.
Matthew 3:17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
The message from the preaching confirm that we are His beloved sons through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Silent Retreat Saturday – Robert’s Cluster
“Where are you going?” asked John Lim and Paul Low.
We were driving by and just when we stopped at the traffic light near PLMC, John & Paul, who were jogging happened to stop by our car. We lowered the car window and called out to them excitedly. That’s when the question of where we were going popped up. We shouted our reply above the traffic noise: “We’re on our way to a silent retreat!” John shot back: “Then why are you so noisy?” … er…???!
That set the tone for the day ahead, where Andrew Mak & Roland Teo’s CGs attended a combined silent retreat on 29 Sep 07. The idea came from a member who approached Soo Hoong to help organize and facilitate the retreat. About 18 cell members including Robert Chan attended the full day’s event with different expectations. Some shared that they were expectant to connect & hear form God, some were apprehensive about having an intense encounter with the Lord and some were there to find rest.
Soo Hoong shared the story about the explorer who made such good progress in his expedition on the first day, who woke up to find the whole team missing the next day. The reason being, his team believed that after the hectic pace on the first day, they needed time for their souls to catch up; hence they rested the next day. This was the objective for the retreat, that is, to take time away from our hectic lives, to reconnect with God.
The morning slipped away very quickly when we were spending time with the Lord individually, writing letters to Him in response to “How are you my child”. The silence continued over lunch but since we came as a CG, the inevitable happened…we started catching up.
Before long, we were back in the room, refocusing on the Lord and reflecting on Psalm 23. Many of us were amazed how it spoke to us when we focused on the Lord. When asked how the Lord spoke to us, some replied: The “is” in “The Lord is my shepherd…” meaning that the Lord currently and continually shepherds us. Some felt the Lord saying …restores my soul… while some felt strongly about rod & staff. All of us agreed that we never felt this way about Psalm 23 before.
At the day’s end sharing session, all participants were blessed by the Lord in different ways. Some basked in His restfulness (fell asleep…), some received answers to major decisions facing them, some received directions for their life through bible verses revealed to them and some even received a poem. Li Tze (Boon Chiaw’s wife) received the following:

“Don’t cry my child, it is alright.I am your Lord, and I know your sorrows
Look up and see a better tomorrow.
Rainbow in the skies and the open green fields.
A gentle breeze that will ease your pains
Don’t cry my child, it is alright.
Put each battle with pride,
‘Cause I am with you to help you fight.
Don’t cry my child, it is alright.
Because it is you which is my creation
That I love you with all my pride.”
Yes, the Lord is faithful. “…seek and you shall find…” Let us remember to recharge, renew and reconnect with the Lord.
