Our 1st CCT is already over. I'm sure everyone agrees it is hard and think many of us/some of us will fail. Recently, I found out that my friend decided not to believe in God becuz he spent 3 hrs praying and did not get good marks. I was thinking... If I pray for very long, I study, and I still do not get good marks, will I still believe in God? Will I be angry with God because he did not bless me with wisdom? Will we give thanks for what he have done? Or will we feel 'buaysong'(bu shuang) to continue praying, worshipping and giving thanks?

It reminds me of the book of Job. God tests us time and time again. I've been through of many of God's test. Mayb tis is 1 of de test, if he does not bless you, will u still believe in him, praying, worshipping and giving thanks to him?

God can use this to form us also. Suffering produces character. Samson had great anoiting but no character. God wants to rise up more pple with character, thus using these opportunities to form us.

If our marks is not what we wanted/expected, will we feel sad, or will we continue to give thanks to the Lord for all he has done? Mayb we don't feel like it, but let's come back to the relevation of the cross - he has died a cruel death for all our sins. He loved us so much. Isn't that much more important than CCTs? Let's not reject Christ's love for us because of small matters(compared to the cruxifixion of christ).

At this, Job got up and tore his robe and shaved his head. Then he fell to the ground in worship and said: "Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked I will depart. The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away; may the name of the LORD be praised." - Job 1:20-21, NIV

Week 1

The man asked him, "What is your name?" "Jacob," he answered.

Genesis 32:27, NIV

A name says alot of the purpose in life of that person. Jacob means supplanter, and of course he didn't want to be that anymore so he asked god to bless him and god changed his name(which changes his purpose in life) ...etc.(gen 32:22-28)

I was thinking:"What is my purpose?" Joseph - God will add.

There are 3 Josephs in 1P, which means God wants to add much more in 1P.

So this prayer is for God to add in 1P and then through 1P.

Prayer pointers this week:
- Pray that these prayers will be answered and this prayer thingy will be effiecient
- Pray for salvation in the class, that the non-believers will open their heart to God.
