decisions, decisions.



Another fireBRANDS youth service update just for youuuuuuuuuuuuuu.

Yes, YOU :)




Started off with prayer led by Ms Sarah Wong.

Everyone was divided to groups of four/five.

Right after that, 5 minutes for everyone to pee/poop/drink water/chitchat/camwhore/etc.


and of course its.....

PEMECAH AIS!
(ice breaker)



and because Tania Loke didnt exactly prepare/thought of a proper ice breaker, she came up with a LAME game for all of us.


Stand on one foot......

and turn around.
*awkward silence.

and suddenly a bright lightbulb appeared right next to Pastor Victor's head as he had another (better) idea.



ARM WRESTLING!

Selepas itu, time for some praise & worship, led by Eulene and her team.

Samantha Tan :)
our new firebrands worship team member.




A short time for some announcements
(yes, we somehow, still managed to listen though we dont look like we are in this picture xP)


Without wasting any time, it was time for the second episode of BREAKAWAY.



belief -> decision -> outcome.

God wants us to breakaway, to no longer conform to the patterns of this world.

The way for you to have a different outcome is to retool, renovate your thoughts.

Why? because our belief system is our operating system...

Which impacts impacts ALL of our outcomes.

Basic truth : God knows whats best for you.

Have we ever been so certain that the decision made was the right decision and suddenly it didnt work out? and we look back, thanking that it didnt happen?

Many times, there's a BIG gap between the decision made and the outcome experienced.

He not only knows whats best for you, He ALWAYS knows whats best for you =)

Proverbs 3 : 5-6

Trust in the Lord with all your heart,

- dont trust your heart, trust your Lord WITH your heart.

And lean not on your own understanding,

-Gods command triumphs your knowledge/reasonings, even if you can come up with a 4987498543875 reasons for the decision you made.

In all of your way, acknowledge him.

-Bring your trends,thoughts, patterns in submission to Him

and He will make your path straight.


If we truly acknowledge Him and to know that truly He knows whats best for us,

chances are that our greatest regret... could have been avoided :)

Because when we trust on our own heart and start to lean on our own understanding, then the outcome is gonna be predictable.


Discussion time, led by Le Roy :)

Questions.

1. Has your heart ever mislead you into any bad situation?
2. What role did your emotions play in that decision?
3. Looking back on your life, are there any decisions you are glad you did not make?
4.Describe a time when you chose God's reasoning over your own.
5.Do you agree that God always knows whats best for you? Why or why not?
6. In what areas of life, is it most difficult to choose God's reasoning over your own?
7. In what area is it easiest?
8.What decisions can you make right now regarding God's reasoning to lead a breakaway life?


Remember, the right outcome comes from the right belief.

Doesnt it look like he's asking "wasn't the video an awesome video?" xP



Stay tuned for our next update, readers!

See you again this Saturday, same time, same place.
