Prophecy from Pastor Jeremiah Yap - for NL Shah Alam
(just in case any of you didn't manage to read it)

“There is a sound in heaven of the coming of His rain and glory of God’s release of His work in your territory. The prayer of the saints in your church has been heard and the Lord is about to turn that bowl of incense and pour out His mighty strength and power of the Holy Spirit upon New Life in Kota Kemuning.

Souls will be saved and planted into His Kingdom and discipled by the church. Resources will be added to you as I see the unlikely ones rising up into potential and quality people added into your fold to help in extending the work of the Lord into the community.

I see people coming forward from the congregation having hearts for community children and families in strife and suffering and leading them into the House of the Lord. The children are pulling the adults to church! These kids are excited and the presence of the Lord is upon them. They are used by the Lord. Some of them are children of people of stature and high professions. God will use them to resource your kingdom work. God is merciful to them and giving them a chance in His kingdom. There is maturity in the place.

I see leaders rising from the fold of the faithful and claiming on the promise that the people of this church shall be the head and not the tail. I see a lot of activities on behalf of New Life Shah Alam in the heavenly realm. Your church is pushing through another barrier. The wall is coming down. More cracks in the wall have appeared. Those who had difficulty in finding jobs will see their breakthrough because the church has broken through. His glory will be revealed. Significance is coming your way. Resources and finance is coming your way. Souls are coming your way. Blessings are coming your way! Get ready for it by your faith and prayer. I see more and more are willing to pray. There is an army of prayer warriors the Lord is raising to make a tremendous sound toward heaven and heaven is now responding with its own sound of the works and marvelous deeds of God upon the earth – through your church!”

Let's claim this promise from God & believe that it will come to past! (:
God is indeed working in our church & in the lives of the people.

Mother-in-Law

George went on a vacation to the Middle East with most of his family, including his mother-in-law. During their vacation, while they were visiting Jerusalem, George's mother-in-law died. With the death certificate in hand, George went to the American Consulate Office to make arrangements to send the body back to the States for proper burial.

The Consul, after hearing of the death of the mother-in-law told George that the sending of a body back to the States for burial would be very expensive. It could cost as much as $5,000.00. The Consul suggested that, in most cases the person responsible for the remains normally decides to bury the body here. This would only cost $150.00.

George thought for some time and responded, "I don't care how much it will cost to send the body back; that's what I want to do."

The Consul, after hearing this, said "You must have loved your mother-in-law very much considering the difference in price."

"No, it's not that," says George. "You see, I know of a case many years ago of a person that was buried here in Jerusalem. On the third day he rose from the dead!


I just can't take that chance.

silence......... haha, is NOT always GOLDEN. >.<

I read about a court case that was lost because of the silence of an attorney. The distinguished lawyer Samuel Hoar (1778-1856) was representing the defendant. When it was time to present his case, he told the jurors that the facts favoring his client were so evident that he would not insult their intelligence by arguing them. The jury retired to deliberate and returned in a few minutes with a verdict of guilty. Samuel Hoar was astonished!

"How," he asked, "could you have reached such a verdict?" The foreman replied, "We all agreed that if anything could be said for a case, you would say it. But since you didn't present any evidence, we decided to rule against you." Silence had lost the case.

How often the opportunity to speak a word of testimony for Christ is lost because we remain silent. Those who need to hear the gospel may conclude that salvation is not important enough to talk about. - Source Unknown.



Do not be afraid to share the faith that is in YOU!! :)

Joke 3:16

When the new patient was settled comfortably on the couch, the psychiatrist began his therapy session.

“I’m not aware of the nature of your problem,” the doctor said. “So perhaps you should start at the very beginning.”

"Of course," replied the patient. "In the beginning, I created the Heavens and the Earth."

New Priest

A new priest at his first mass was so nervous he could hardly speak. After mass he asked the monsignor how he had done. The monsignor replied, “When I am worried about getting nervous on the pulpit, I put a glass of vodka next to the water glass. If I start to get nervous, I take a sip.”

So the next Sunday he took the monsignor’s advice. At the beginning of the sermon, he got nervous and took a drink. He proceeded to talk up a storm. Upon return to his office after mass, he found the following note on his door:

1. Sip the Vodka, don’t gulp.

2. There are 10 commandments, not 12.

3. There are 12 disciples, not 10.

4. Jesus was consecrated, not constipated.

5. Jacob wagered his donkey, he did not bet his ass.

6. We do not refer to Jesus Christ as the late J.C.

7. The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are not referred to as Daddy, Junior, and the Spook.

8. David slew Goliath, he did not kick the shit out of him.

9. When David was hit by a rock and knocked off his donkey, don’t say he was stoned off his ass.

10.We do not refer to the cross as the Big T!

11.When Jesus broke the bread at the Last Supper he said, “Take this and eat it, for it is my body”, he did not say, “Eat me.”

12.The Virgin Mary is not referred to as the, “Mary with the Cherry”.

13.The recommended grace before a meal is not: “Rub-A-dub-dub, thanks for the grub, yeah God”. and finally…

14.Next Sunday there will be a taffy-pulling contest at St.Peter’s, not a peter-pulling contest at St. Taffy’s.

Kids in Church

Six-year-old Angie and her four-year-old brother Joel were sitting together in church. Joel giggled, sang, and talked out loud. Finally, his big sister had enough of his antics.

"You're not supposed to talk out loud in church."

"Why? Who's going to stop me?" Joel asked.

Angie pointed to the back of the church and said, "See those two men standing by the door? They're hushers."

Plaster of Parish

A crumbling old church building needed remodeling, so, during his sermon, the preacher made an impassioned appeal looking directly at the richest man in town. At the end of the sermon, the rich man stood up and announced, "Pastor, I will contribute $1,000."

Just then, plaster fell from the ceiling and struck the rich man on the shoulder.

He promptly stood back up and shouted, "Pastor, I will increase my donation to $5,000."

Before he could sit back down, plaster fell on him again, and again he virtually screamed, "Pastor, I will double my last pledge."He sat down, and a larger chunk of plaster fell on his head.

He stood up once more and hollered, "Pastor, I will give $20,000!"

This prompted a deacon to shout, "Hit him again, Lord! Hit him again!"

Black and White

Attending a wedding for the first time, a little girl whispered to her mother, "Why is the bride dressed in white?"

"Because white is the color of happiness, and today is the happiest day of her life."

The child thought about this for a moment, then said, "So why is the groom wearing black?"
