We want a palace for our KING!
Hey BREADers! Roti Boys & Girls!
Happy 2006! This will be my first post here and I hope the BREADers will continue to read the blog frequently for LG updates! I also wanna encourage you all to leave comments and responses to each post we put up either in the comments section or tag board. This way, we can have a discussion on what has been said and use it to spur one another to live out our talk!
Blog matters aside…..this entry is about last Saturday and some things that I felt I needed to share with you guys but did not have the time to. More on that later....first a recap!
LAST SATURDAY we talked about the BIG “D” word…….any guesses? Sorry no prizes this time round for people who can guess correctly! We also unraveled our way thru the RGEN Mission Statement, which I hope is going off in your head now even as you read this….

BREADers, how have you been spending your time in the past week? What are the things/ thoughts that occupy your time in the week? How bout in the day? Or in a single hour of your day? Is it school work, CCA, tests, friends, computer games? How much of your day do you spend thinking about or talking to God?

Try answering these questions honestly in the privacy of your room now, between you and God and think about how much time and effort actually goes towards God. This is between you and Him.
What you spend your time thinking about and doing reflects your priorities and whether King Jesus is sitting on the throne of your heart. An idol is something sits on the throne of your heart instead of Jesus. It’s something that we spend more effort in maintaining, than maintaining our relationship with God. An idol is something you love more than God.
An idol is not just a golden statue that some of your parents pray to, or a pop star who looks cool dancing on stage, singing trendy tunes. It could be a computer game, your studies, CCA etc. You could be worshipping an idol in your life now. Let God search your heart as you read this. And ask God for forgiveness if he shows you areas in your life, then ask Him for strength not to go back into it. “If we confess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” I John 1:9.

Don’t be afraid to share with James, Gerald or myself if you need help overcoming an idol in your life.
Lastly,
to place King Jesus on the throne of your life and keep the idols out, you need to FIX your eyes on Him. This means that He has to start to occupy more of our thoughts and actions.
“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” Hebrews 12:1-2
Some practical ways you can do this..
1) Begin the day with a prayer/ QT.
2) Yak away to God during the day. Exp. When waiting for the teacher to come in b4 your next lesson,

“Wah God, i feel very sian, please help me to get thru the next period with your strength!”
3) Think about a verse from the Bible throughout the day especially when you’re tired or need recharging.

Ok BREADers, dats all.
My prayer for us as an LG is dat God will take the throne of our hearts, consume our vision and displace our idols.
Let’s Build a House Fit For the King to Live In!
But before that He has to live in our hearts first.
