Thou Shall Not.....


Sweet dreams is made of these.
As we all agreed. Two is better than one.
Hi friends. Allow me to share with you what God has been doing in my life in recent months.


Last Dec, I attended a youth camp in Harvester AOG and God spoke to me during the camp. And when He speaks, life changed. And im no exceptional. That's how powerful our God is. Amen.


He shared with me on "stealing". And Holy Spirit led me to my downloading of music illegally. And also my part-take in buying and watching pirated dvds. Ouch...


I am convicted by the Holy Spirit. I confessed and repented. And my next action was significant. I threw away 2 pirated dvds which my friend just bought for me and brought to me while we were in the camp. (haha, yea, i invited this friend who is a pre-believer to the camp.)


I just tell myself tt if I want to listen to songs or watching movies, God will provide the money to get the real deal. And let's say if my hands is tight, I will just don't listen(to songs) or watch(movies). That's that. Man does not live on music and movies alone, but on every word tt comes from the mouth of our God.


And since then, by the grace of God, I am able to stop downloading music illegally and buying pirated dvds. And this move alerted my bro. He just dont understand why i stop dl songs and start buying cds, which to him is...foolish.


But i rather be a fool for Christ. Amen.


And start buying cds i did. And stil doing. And hope to stop or perhaps cut-down the rate. Haha. Cos you see, in March alone, it was Musical Madness March for me! I bought at least 4 cds and have been consistent in buying in following months. Perhaps its musical therapy for me or am i just addicted to buying and smelling the lyrics sheet. Ha. No la, i just like music. Judebox mah.


Anw, i am determine to at least cut down e number of cds to buy per mth to one. And i had just bought Weezer new red album. Ha. This is for june. For june.


So friends, I hope tt if u re reading this and u re like e old me, dl songs illegally, its time to stop perhaps. And start glorifying God.


And im going to leave you with this two verses to encourage you.


For those who feel tt illegal downloading help saves some money....

"But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ." - Phi 3:7


And for the rest of us.....

"He who has been stealing must steal no longer,..." - Eph 4:28

And yes, I was there when you bought the CDs, I also think it's a bit crazy but hey, it's all in the Lord's name!
