Mark 12- 27: 27 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are badly mistaken!”
What does it mean to my life?
- That our God is a living God -
Eternity, our citizenship is in heaven.

Mark 12- 28-29 .......“Of all the commandments, which is the most important?”
29 “The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.[e] 30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’[f] 31 The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[g] There is no commandment greater than these.”
What does it mean to my life?
-To love God first and love others-
Heart: Heart is the centre core of our body, to love Him with all our Heart is to place Him in the centre
of our being.
Motivation behind the things we do, will be to obey His will, Obedience to Him is a reflection of
our hearts turning to Him (Will)
Soul: Affection- Emotions
Strong's concordance defines it as: "a soul, living being, life, self, person, desire, passion, appetite,
emotion."

The choices you make.
Mind: Be transformed with the renewing of the mind, To renew our mind with the truth, with reality,
with what the bible says.
Bible Study, Reading Scriptures and Understanding it, Memorizing scripture, Believing in it
(Mind)
Strength: To be Passionate, All our energy be devoted in doing His good work, physically, mentally
To live is Christ, to die it gain. Devoting every moment doing His good work.
-Why love Him first?-
Because He is love
-Who is my neighbour?-
Everyone beside me is my neighbour.
For example - Tin, Wen, YT, Es, Fy, People in church, People I encounter everyday.

Today is a day of prayer, through fasting and prayer, not only the reality of God, the truth in this life is being painted out, there is a inexplainable connection that happened when we prayed as a church together.
I would like to jot this down as a reminder of how AWE some God is. How pure, how Holy, how righteous and merciful. He IS Love. And how real this message that is presented in the bible is. So many times, we settled for less. I settled for less. When there is something greater and beyond our enjoyment and pleasure. God. God is most glorified when I'm most satisfied in Him. This is true. While praying together with other people, it is just amazing that how, even though we are different individuals, but as we pray, we seem to be one. Even though I don't even know them, I feel part of this family, as brothers and sisters in Christ. It's amazing that how, when I have the urge to pray for this for example the youth pastor, someone would prayed it out as if we can read each others mind, we are all praying the same thing. I was utterly shocked by what is going on in that small room. This doesn't just happened once but each time, when I am about to pray for something, someone else would have the same thoughts and minds. Amazing. We are ONE body in Christ. unspeakable. unexplainably amazing. And I don;t want to be ignorant in this, but God has shown me that how pure and clean He can make our relationship when we fix our eyes on Him, even when we are sinners. He has washed away our sins with His precious blood. This is an ultimate truth and an amazing one.

Poem
Dear Lord, today is a day that is full of activities, but least of You.
Less in the prayerful heart,
and in the coming bac to Your truth.
Laziness, creeps in with slothfulness,
With contented, that is not in You.
Wow.. You have opened my eyes to see,
what great danger this can be.
A moment not spent with You,
is a moment less worth living.
For You alone are worthy O Lord,
You alone are God.
Replacing You can mean by anything,
From the way we think and the reason we sing.
From the way we talk to the navigations of our talk.
How far more our stubborn hearts can be away from You.
How far more our malices reject the hope in You.
Lord, as this prayer becomes a devotion, a poem, a song.
May You be the author and writer of this heart,
And You alone the centre of the Universe.
Romans 12: 9-13
Love must be sincere.
Hate what is evil, cling to what is good.
Be devoted to one another in brotherly love.
Honour one another above yourselves.
11 Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.
12 Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction,faithful in prayer.
13 Share with the Lord’s people who are in need.Practice hospitality.
