That was the sermon preached yesterday in youth service by one of the band members in ~alternate frequency~, a Malyasian Christian band.
Doesn't that name alone makes you look twice and wonder why?
It's a Malaysian Christian band.
When they shared with us about their experience, i was amazed at what God was raising up. A group of Christian in Malaysia. A group who's able to impact and save souls. A group dedicated to make his name known. A group dedicated to the work that God planned to have done in Malaysia.
As you all know, Malaysia is a Islamic country. For Christians to have open evangelism or to even have outdoor performances is highly prohibted and kept after control. All Christian related stuff are prohibted by the media. So, it was really a miracle when they told us that one of their praise and worship song actually got played on air!!! After which their band songs were banned from air, but guess what they were asked to perform and sing that song afterwards on a easter sunday!!!
How God is moving is really amazing, evident.
God's now moving in Malaysia. i never thought he would be there! afterall, Malaysia's still a predominantly Islamic country. How can anyone possibly do any work there? but i'm glad God has a greater plan. A plan of such magnitude.
Let us pray for God to continue his mighty work in Malaysia. pRAY THAT more Malaysians will come to be saved through the people he has called. Pray that Malaysians will turn to Jesus and acknowledge that he's the king of kings and the Lord of Lords. Pray that there will be a great revival in Malaysia. A revival and stirring of the people's hearts for God, hearts that are open to him. Pray that they will come to understand and know and love the only true and real God, Jesus. Pray that all Christians in Malaysia will be united in Christ's cause and press on despite persecution and difficulties. Pray that they will be rooted in God's word and be able to see God's greater vision for Malaysia and be part of it. Pray that they will have faith that move mountains and touch hearts, that they will experience God in all the circumstances they face. Help them be strong in you Lord. Thank you Lord. In Jesus's mighty name i pray, amen.

Do you think that you're a failure
That you cant study
Don't seem to excel in anything
Aint as good as others
You think you won't ever achieve anything you want
You feel that you've never done anything right in your life
and your life's a mess you can't handle
You feel so small compared to others
Others seem to dislike you
They tell you you don't get even a simple thing right
They say you do it all wrong
Are you feeling small today?
Do you feel you can never be someone great, do something great?
Do you tell yourself "i'm nothing."?
That's how you see yourself.
DO You want to know what God see when he sees you?
"yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become (you are)children of God."
"Be imitators of God, therefore, as (you are) dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God."
-Eph 5:1-2
"But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful night."
-1 Pet 2:9
It's only when you see what God sees, that you know He turns impossibility into reality.
If you think that you are nothing,
Let God make you something.
"..because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world."
