Today marks the last day of the trial for the time being, for City Harvest Church.
Despite the very awkward headlines i saw on the Chinese tabloids and how twisted the reports were written ( according to my Aunt who read the news on Xin Ming), these 2 weeks was really good for the 6.
I would rather say, God has been very good for the righteous these weeks.
I was away from church for approximately a year? After backsliding for a year, i went back to church with nothing.
I was sucha wreck, i lost my job, i lost my health, i was badly abused by an ex…
That particular service, Pastor Phil invited those that have not receive Christ to go forward, as well as those that has been away from Christ and would wish to go back to Christ. I remember dashing out despite being very embarrassed and lost (i have been away from church for sometime and was very unfamiliar).
Pastor Phil then stretched out his hand to shake mine, and asked for my name. He told me that Jesus is very happy to have me back again.
I teared immediately.
I remember that moment so well.
Is like…he can ask anyone for their names, there were approx 100 over people who went out to him. (altar call) But he asked for mine first and honestly, the way he looked into my eyes and told me Jesus is very happy to have me back, really touched me greatly.
Anyway
Till the day that Truth to be set free, we give thanks to Jesus and His love and mercy.
Romans 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose
You probably see this piece of news or worse reports on Sun Ho using the Church funds for her unsuccessful singing career.
I do not know how to react to such nasty remarks made by the local mainstream media, i seriously dont know.
Frankly,i understand how much we are lagging behind when it comes to Gossipy/ Newsworthy Entertainment News.
But i never expect the local journalists to be writing such remarks of personal attack, in order to be like another paparazzi of the INFAMOUS Apple Daily.
Right, you are saying that i am speaking up for my Pastor’s wife but i make sure i am stating reasonable reasons when i speak up for her.
1) How do you measure Success?
My Mum has been asking me to buy the newspaper these days (she is recovering well, and i believe God is still with her. 🙂 so thanks all! )
Mum is rather concern about the recent CHC case as well. However, i did not buy a single copy of papers.
To be honest, i feel very pissed off when reading the one sided and lop sided reports of the local papers.
It doesnt help when the content is always repeated.
Whats worse is that the repeated content is always so ridiculously warped and frankly, they are more like assumptions of ignorance than facts.
I lost faith in the papers.
After they have lost all ideas on what to write, they compare Sun Ho with Stephanie Sun, they personal attacked Sun Ho and judged her success.
I do not know how they measure success. Perhaps the easiest way to determine success is the number of trophies and prizes and the album sales of a singer.
But Success, in my opinion is the ability of a person to influence others.
Whatever you said of her, you cant deny how many people she influenced right.
I mean, spiritually, and frankly, i seen people turning to God and leading a better life after salvation through her Crossover projects.
How to deny that?
Of course, if you are not a believer, there will be tons to argue.
You would ask me why would she spread about Jesus if it is a secular singing career.
I can only say, that is why we call it the Crossover.
We do not believe that Hollywood and the entertainment industry can only contain Drugs, Fame, Sex and Money.
We believe Jesus can crossover to the ‘lost world’, we believers of Jesus need not be boring.
We believe that Christians need not be singing hymns all the time to be holy and proper.
Besides that, as a celebrity, she has done her part as a performer and i dont see how she is not successful.
She sings better than most of the singers nowadays anyway.
As a Celebrity of ability to influence, she did more than what a singer does.
You cant deny the good works she did, the various foundations she has under her name, the various schools and care centers and etc…
Then again, you might not know. Because the local media were busy reporting the comparison between Sun Ho and Steph Sun.
It is that important to compare, really?
Nevertheless, you may still see the numerous contributions of Sun Ho here:
For China Wine lovers and haters, sorry but that is really not the only song she has.
You really have to stop being ignorant if you KEEP HARPING ON THAT 1 MTV because i personally was touched by this song (below) that describe my Savior JESUS CHRIST thoroughly :
2) Why isnt Sun Ho talented?
I seriously do not understand the headline (in the papers) above. Is she really sucha terrible singer or performer to deserve that criticism?
She is talented. She is beautiful. In what way is she not? (again, subjective lah)
She sings beautifully, she doesnt croak like some singers. She can dance and she doesnt move like some puppets like some performers.
Having said that, this topic is debatable and is vry subjective.
Most importantly, she touches me and many people whenever she is worshiping.
Anyway,
I pray that you can read updates and news with discernment and wisdom thus you may also differentiate NEWS and GOSSIPS.
Lai confirmed that Sim’s concerns stemmed not from his doubts about the genuineness of the Xtron bond investments, but from possible conflict of interests, given the relationship between Xtron and CHC; it appeared that Baker Tilly did not have an issue with whether the bonds were bona fide.
The use of the building fund for investments, including into Xtron and Firna bonds, was disclosed to the auditor, the board and to executive members, and no concern in relation to this had been raised.
The trial of City Harvest case will continue on Monday.
The court is closed today due to internal event.
Meanwhile, the discerning Christians from all over the world is praying earnestly for our dear leaders.
Had a fruitful meeting with my leader Eng Han last night.
I really salute him.
Having going through tremendous stress in the day, he can still preach to us in the night. (nothing much about the case, focus is on biblical knowledge and biblical preaching, if you ask)
Such an amazing professional.
He told me to have constant faith, looks like he knows my weakness before i even say anything.
Yes, i have fears in me (towards my own personal/career matters) and he gave me a rhema word yesterday.
Except that, this time, he specifically speak to me, calling my name.
