Doaku (A song for the nation)

DOAKU (Original singer: Ariffin G.)

Ku datang padaMu

Sujud dihadapanMu

Betapa kurindu

Diam dihadiratMu

Kau yang mulia

Datang ditempat ini

Penuhi setiap jiwa

Yang rindu jamahanMu

Ini doaku untuk neg'riku

Pulihkanlah, kembalikan pada kami

Ku berlutut dihadapanMu

Pulihkanlah bangsa kami

Saat ini

Ku menyembah, Nama Yesus

Bertaktahlah disini Kaulah Raja

p.s.- Sorry klu sound x brapa clear ya...  :)

Be blessed, sis! :)

What's next?

...is a question I've been questioning God since.

"Wait on Him. Wait on His voice."

Its been a pretty amazing days, these past few days, I felt the fear of the Lord is awakening like never before. Never had I felt so scared with what's coming. We had couple of prayer meetings few days back and I remember just crying out and prayer in tears. You know why? Here is what I'm about to share. 

While listening to Pastors's message in church, one of the intercessors hand me over the programme book for 16Sept'12 morning service. Yes, the one with Eagle and Lion on the cover. She said to me "Keep this. 50 years later we won't be able to witness this anymore." Of course, she said it casually. I laughed lightly as well. But something strikes within me deeply. I don't know what is it. I was just fearful. How is it gonna be 50 years later? Its a long way to go but that's what I was thinking at that moment. 

The next thing I knew, the burden came from IDontKnowWhere. I was crying out for the younger generations. How many out there are God fearing? I don't know. But I'm positive there is! 

My fear is that we're gonna burn passionately but only for some time and then the disease of being lukewarm will come and infect us. 
My fear is that we'll lose our patience in the process of waiting on God's voice and act on our own. Too many of 'actions' but less of 'praying'.

I committed everything to the LORD. No matter what people might say, let Him lead the way and just follow Him, shall we?
Prophet Jeremiah was spreading God's word to the people, but they don't listen.
A list of prophets came after that and not all hear them out and obey. There is a 400 years of silence before the times New testament starts. Not even one prophet. There must be a reason for that. Let's set our focus right, made right with God and start to care for the younger generations.

Let's pray for the strength to be patient and wait upon the LORD.
Let's keep on praying and crying out for the younger generations, the current generation, the body of Christ, the country, more revelation from above and let's walk hand in hand until we experience breakthrough and beyond, that reaches to the ends of this earth!

Be blessed!
Nethy.

A day to bless Malaysia!

Last sunday, 16 September 2012, the whole body of Christ in KK and beyond witnessed and celebrated Malaysia Day together in two big, significant venues - Padang Merdeka & Stadium Likas.

Different venues with the same purpose - A day to bless Malaysia! =)

The morning service starts at 8AM in Padang M.

The praise & worship team, all dressed in their respective traditional attires, led the congregation into deep worship. A very meaningful, solemn morning service I would say. Because exactly 8AM, 49 years ago (16 September 1963), a very meaningful, solemn event has taken place in the same venue.

It was a very touching moment when Pastor Jerry prayed for the land and ask God for forgiveness for our past leaders. I thought I was the only one who got emotional on that. It turns out most of the others felt the same thing! And with so many young people who came and join together in prayer, worship and sitting under the hot burning sun was delightful as well. We even took the Lord's supper together at the end of the service! 

Watching the native leaders to take the lead and made strong, firm declarations of God's words upon the land and the people (everyone!) moved me into thinking - "This is gonna be historical. And we're all watching history in the making." 

Heaven watched. Angels watched. It was awesome!

The evening celebration was joyful and awesome as well! Energetic and passionate worship team. Tambouriners. Banner bearers. Flag bearers. Drummers. Shofarers. God is moving people!!

We had a scary weather the night before and we had some disturbances technically. But praise God! He is able to do all things! We had a great night of celebration and fireworks. =)

Witnessing different churches joining in together is simply amazing...! 

Over 10,000 people came. And I'm sure everyone is blessed to be a blessing.

All glory to God. Forever and ever. Amen.

Ian & Elda

The wedding ceremony has taken place in Maranatha church more than a week ago.
I hadn't got the time to blog about this up 'till now and here I go about their BIG day!

Congratulation to Mr and Mrs Ian & Elda on their wedding day (8sept2012) !!
I am sincerely happy for you guys. ^^
I've known her since forever. She's one of my closest cousin, sister and bestfriend. We shared things together, stories, secrets, food (it depends), accessories, clothing (erm no, not really), car (i drove hers and she, well, don't drive mine. hehe!) and etc. I love going to her house and play when we were small. She was the quiet type during those times but playful as well (remember Datuk Harimau??;)). I recall back when I was celebrating my birthday in my house, she had this really really short hair and skinny back then!

All the ups and downs, tears and laughters... 
It has been a long way down the memory lane.
Now she's married! To Ian the man! =)
I have to say that their wedding is the best wedding I've ever witnessed. I was already tearing up when she was handed over. I guess I was very happy for her. 
I love the ceremony. I love the atmosphere. I love the meaningful vows they've spoken to one another. Its like, heaven stopped, and everyone is watching them. I know God has blessed them. =)
And the wedding is exactly like how I imagined a wedding should be. 
Schoolmates. Now turned husband and wife. Talking about destiny huh. ;)

Congratulation again guys!

Humility (Part 1)

Without humility, you can't see God/ hear God/ feel God. 

When your pride is getting the best of you, you are on your way to deceiving yourself. 

You wondered why you feel weak and not progressive.

You wondered what went wrong.

You wondered what makes you so oblivious and "duh".

Pride is the answer.

Whether its subtly hidden or loudly expressed, it is pride.

Pride is attitude of thinking we can do without Christ.

Humility is so important in our lives, especially to those who were made alive in Christ. Those who are in ministry, humble yourselves before the Lord. Do not boast, do not be proud, give the glory to God. 

Do not wait until the Lord Himself humble you down. Check your heart and pray to God with fear of the Lord. For the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.

Jesus is humble. He's our greatest example. Let's learn from Him. ^^

Deb’s friends from KL, Lyd and Wai Yan, is in Sabah for holiday so Deb brought them to places around KK today. I tagged along since they plan for a tour in UMS. So, being a UMS student (I am still legally a student yah.tengkiu). I proudly showed them the beach  a.k.a. ODEC next to the marine research institute. I must admit, though, that it is my first time being there as well. Let me repeat that. My FIRST time being in ODEC. Yes, I know I know…

We went to the crocodile farm in Tuaran after that. Its my second time there (3^rd time in a crocodile farm, to be precise). The coolest moment is Wai Yan feeding the chicken meat to the crocs. We were excited to see them fight or even move a bit (crocodiles are very lazy reptiles in terms movement). No wonder they’ve gotten fat, dirty, stinks and scary. But no, no crocs fight for today, they were just anxious waiting for food. Seeing the crocs move somehow thrilled us. An applaud goes to Lyd for not hiding behind Deb’s back. I understand how you felt as I did with you-know-what. ;)

We headed to Lokan bakar and oh boy, it was very ‘zelicious’. Filled with Lokan and kelapa pudding, we watched the sun set peacefully. I THANK GOD I get to see the sunset. I mean, really! I love to watch sunset and to be blown away by its beauty.

“A sunset on this side is another sunrise 

on the other side of the globe.”

This was one of the thought that popped up in my mind as I watch it sinks in. I tell you, I am always amazed at the art of how fast the sun set, how beautiful it can be, how the colors of the clouds reflected from the sunlight blends in together and create such a beautiful, serene scenery (ok, I’m getting poetic here. Gah.)

-peace out- 

Movie night with the kids

Tonight is one of those nights where I get the chance to bring my nieces and nephews to the cinema. 


Oh boy, they were really excited. And I mean reeeaaalllyyy exxxciiiiteeed... I went to Kolops to pick them up around 7PM (The movie starts at 7.20PM but i already bought all tickets hours earlier) and the moment they saw my car light, they were jumping in the air, shouting with joy. It was dark but i can see clearly their jumps and shouts. Haha. Cute. The moment they got into the car, they were all talking about what to expect and what to do in the cinema. On the way to our destination, Phoebe and I explained to them about rules, the dos and don'ts in cinema. They were excited to obey too! They were telling each other to listen to us and behave well. The laughing and talking doesn't stop until we entered the cinema hall. The excitement of the children is really something you know. I mean, I don't show such excitement going to cinema but boyyy, they are really looking forward to it! :)


We watched "Brave" and its really a nice movie. I would rate it 4.5/5. Its one of the movies I would suggest for children and families and everyone to watch it. The kids enjoyed it. :) I'm glad we watched it together.


No wonder God says how important it is to be like children (not childish!) in order to enter His kingdom. 

Jesus loves the little children...

Children sees things differently and they are very passionate. Things that are normal to us, are extraordinary to them! They are dependent, while we, sometimes can be self-dependent! And most important of all, children do not doubt. Once they trust someone, they would trust them to the fullest!


Be blessed!
