Gracia: Today, God really spoke to me about being offensive and defensive. sometimes we get so caught up with doing stuff for God and everything, we forget to defend ourselves against the devil's schemes and we may end up fighting in the wrong direction! that's terrible! so God taught me today to be more self-controlled and alert so that i would not be deceived by the devil. and that it's important to be unified! yeah, when one works alone, it's really hard! we should always remember the partnership we have with God, and cherish the fellowship with fellow cellgroup members.
Annabel: service today taught me that if god opens a door, you have to walk through it. and the devil's way of attacking us. so we have to remain in one body. for a person receive christ, God has to draw him or her. as tools of God, our job is just to be little christ to our friends, for so that we can live a life pleasing to God.
Caoyu: I feel that today's sermon spoke to me, especially the part about attacking and defending at the same time. i want to keep this a 2 ways approach thing. so that i will be able to defend my own faith and reach out to others at the same time.
Grace: it's true. satan is defeated. i must recognise that in everything i do. and i've learnt that defense is very important, so we must make sure whatever i think is pleasing to God: i must seek God more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chengyu: sometimes i wonder, how come i don't grow closer to God on a daily basis. however, today's sermon taught me that if we long and are always in the presence of God, we will naturally grow closer and be more like him. question answered (:
Jaclyn: this service reminded me to draw back to God and to keep him in focus. it also taught me how to fight satan better. i also learnt that prayer should be the base of everything. because it is only through prayer we can express our need and reliance on God.
Yifang: i've learnt to be more alert to satan's way of deceiving us. and also we should be a christian who not just attack but also defend.
Sufan: Great sermon! very engaging and interesting. learnt a lot too. i love today's sermon.
Ken: todays' sermon was exacally what i needed from God. i had some thoughts within me that caused me to be in distress to a point where i almost wanted to leave church before sermon starts. somehow God attracted me to back and i sat through the sermon. throughout the sermon, i felt uneasy but when pastor spoke about satan deceiving us, causing us to divide, i come to realise that God is speaking to me over my unrightful misconception thoughts. and i also realised that satan is working around me, wanting me to leave without hearing God. i have never ever felt so amazed by God's words through sermon that today.
Alex: i prayed for God to speak to me and he did. i was very distracted recently, i was also very discouraged and God turned me looking at my failures, something would crop up and i end up feeling in a bad state. at least this time, i've a clear awareness that its satan at work and this puts me more on guard. i can't guarantee that things will change but i've decided to have God as Lord over my life, entrusting my every problem to him, i'll have faith in his directions. i thank God for his love and faithfulness.
Chapmen: i learned about the ways of satan, and how we can defend ourselves from satan. i learned that doing your quiet time daily and not sinning would make yourself invulnerable to the devil. and if you don't do quiet time daily and keep sinning, you will be very vulnerable and the devil can attack you anytime. so we should spend our time being more committed to the Lord.
Eugene: service today really spoke to me, about the thinks of the devil and that he doesn't mind us doing our part for God but he want us to be as ineffective as possible. he wants to keep us distracted! that is so true! we focus so much on the methods sometimes than on the relationship with God. while focusing on the method, we lose focus on God, and then we let our guard down and that's when the enemy strikes. never be discouraged! what will Jesus do, an awesome reminder of what our actions and attitudes should always be. that is the best testimony of the gospel, that we don't have to day we are christians, but people can observe from our actions.
Karyn: wow, sermon was a huge reminder from God that i am in a spiritual war which involves me fighting the devil. i love it that i just need to look forward and face the enemy; not turning back bcos i know God is with me. i was also reminded that i just have to stand my ground and know EXACTLY what i fight. bcos i know that with Christ in me, the Hope of Glory, i HAVE the victory and i will fight with that in mind.
Wenning: the part abt discouragements spoke to me a lot. I learnt that it is important to encourage the people around me, especially my close friends. God reminded me about a particular classmate of mine, who struggles hard with her studies, but yet has made not much improvement.God told me specifially to start encouraging her not just once but everyday ! Another thing that struck me hard was the part about the defending, we ought to realise that it is also important to know the tactics of the enemy, and pray against it ! (:
