9th September 2010
After a good rest, I had to wake up early the next day.
I was feeling very nervous to play the keyboard on stage, as that was the first time (erm, not the first time but it was the first time in this Church), I played a keyboard. I just try to relax myself and played in accordance to how God led me.
After the devotion, we had a brief session of PraiseDance! Well, I would not say I enjoy it, but I do not dislike it either. It was quite fun in the sense that I could move all my limbs, relaxing the tight muscles and yeah, after 30 minutes I did feel fresher :p
Breakfast time!
I was quite disappointed to have missed the first session of the message, as I was required to help to play the piano at the Children Service. Nonetheless, Praise the Lord! I got the notes from a sister =) Below was the summary:-
Session 1, 09:30 ~ Peter
John 21: 1-14 ~ Morning Miracle
Breakfast by the Sea
1 After these things Jesus showed Himself again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias, and in this way He showed Himself:
2 Simon Peter, Thomas called the Twin, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of His disciples were together.
3 Simon Peter said to them, “I am going fishing.”
They said to him, “We are going with you also.” They went out and immediately[a] got into the boat, and that night they caught nothing. 4 But when the morning had now come, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.
5 Then Jesus said to them, “Children, have you any food?”
They answered Him, “No.”
6 And He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they cast, and now they were not able to draw it in because of the multitude of fish.
7 Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment (for he had removed it), and plunged into the sea.
8 But the other disciples came in the little boat (for they were not far from land, but about two hundred cubits), dragging the net with fish.
9 Then, as soon as they had come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid on it, and bread.
10 Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish which you have just caught.”
11 Simon Peter went up and dragged the net to land, full of large fish, one hundred and fifty-three; and although there were so many, the net was not broken.
12 Jesus said to them, “Come and eat breakfast.” Yet none of the disciples dared ask Him, “Who are You?”—knowing that it was the Lord.
13 Jesus then came and took the bread and gave it to them, and likewise the fish.
14 This is now the third time Jesus showed Himself to His disciples after He was raised from the dead.
- we must create a kingdom value or culture
- God will bless our life abundantly ~ like a net which is not broken, although it is filled with fishes
- we must pray that God will bless our spiritual life abundantly
- we must make sure that the intercession has no emptiness, we must always confess
- if we leave God, we cannot have anything
- Peter lives in God, so he got all the fishes
- we must always open our mouth to proclaim ans declare
- Peter connects to Kingdom
- Jesus manifests to His apostles and He can manifests to us as well
- Hosea 6:3 [Immanuel]
3 Let us know,
Let us pursue the knowledge of the LORD.
His going forth is established as the morning;
He will come to us like the rain,
Like the latter and former rain to the earth.
- like Job, we must experience God
- God knows our needs, so He walked to us
- we live because of God's words, not due to miracle
- we must live to taste the grace of God, in order to have abundance in the Kingdom
- the joy of the Lord is my strength! we must live with joy!
