Self-examination

I love this song, and the video is awesome! Wont you take a look =)




Another day another day another day, as each day passes by I realize how much closer I am to my goal, but how distant it is from achieving it first hand ~sigh I'm leaving next week.. I have to admit I am a little bit intimidated, I am not sure what to expect.

I remember back then when I was a little younger, I wondered why do people have to feel intimidated or afraid of going overseas, its suppose to be a thrill! so i thought. So I guess now I realize they were just 'kia su'

I want to come back being empowered more than ever before, because this is my life, I can't afford to fool around, THIS IS MY LIFE! I want to learn and receive as much as I can in Singapore.

This is serious stuff. But gotta have fun! =D




I want to share a little something with all of you, examine yourself and be bless.


As important as spiritual qualities are, natural leadership qualities are important too. Most of the time we think that we need to work a lot on our spiritual gifting, which is true; however, Natural leadership qualities are important as well, but too many times we think to ourselves our Natural leadership qualities are good enough, but that is far from the truth. What we go through in our past experience doesn’t necessarily mean our natural skills are well developed.


Too often these skills lie dormant and undiscovered. If we look carefully, we should be able to detect leadership potential. I am not saying you picking up bible verses to share with your cell group is one of those qualities, the truth is anyone can do that routine, but it’s much more than that! And if we have it, we should train it and use it for Christ’s work. Here are some ways to investigate your potential from a book I read:

• How do you identify and deal with bad habits? To lead others, your must master your appetites.

• How well do you maintain self-control when things go wrong? The leader who loses control under adversity forfeits respect and influence. A leader must be calm in crisis and resilient in disappointment.

• To what degree do you think independently? A leader must use the best ideas of others to make decisions. A leader cannot wait for others to make up his or her mind.

• How well can you handle criticism? When have you profited from it? The humble person can learn from petty criticism, even malicious criticism.

• Can you turn disappointment into creative new opportunity? What three actions could you take facing any disappointment?

• Do you readily gain the cooperation of others and win their respect and confidence? Genuine leadership doesn’t have to manipulate or pressure others.

• Can you exert discipline without making a power play? Are your corrections or rebukes clear without being destructive? True leadership is an internal quality of the spirit and needs no show or external force.

• In what situations have you been a peacemaker? A leader must be able to reconcile with opponents and make peace where arguments have created hostility.

• Do people trust you with difficult and delicate matters? Your answer should include examples.

• Can you induce people to do happily some legitimate thing that they would not normally wish to do? Leaders know how to make others feel valued.

• Can you accept opposition to your view point or decision without taking offense? Leaders always face opposition.

• Can you make and keep friends? Your circle of friends is an index of your leadership potential.

• Do you depend on the praise of others to keep you going? Can you hold steady in the face of disapproval and even temporary loss of confidence?

• Are you at ease in the presence of strangers? Do you get nervous in the office of you superiors? A leader knows how to exercise and accept authority.

• Are people who report to you generally at ease? A leader should be sympathetic and friendly.

• Are you interested in people? All types? All races? No prejudice?

• Are you tactful (considerate)? Can you anticipate how your words will affect a person? Genuine leadership think before speaking.

• Is your will strong and steady? Leaders cannot vacillate, cannot drift with the wind. Leaders know there’s a difference between conviction and stubbornness.

• Can you forgive? Or do you nurse resentments and harbour ill-feelings toward those who have injured you?

• Are you reasonably optimistic? Pessimism and leadership do not mix. Leaders are positively visionary.

• Have you identified a master passion such as that of Paul who said, ‘This ONE THING I do!’ such singleness of motive will focus your energies and powers on the desired objectives. Leaders need a strong focus.

• How do you respond to new responsibility?

Now leaders don’t take this likely, don’t deceive yourself, and look hard into those measurements.

How we handle relationships tells a lot about our potential for leadership R.E Thompson suggests these test:

• Do other people’s failures annoy or challenge you?

• Do you ‘use’ people, or cultivate people?

• Do you direct people or develop people?

• Do you criticize or encourage?

• Do you shun (keep away) or seek the person with a special need or problem?

These self-examinations mean little unless we act to correct our deficits and fill in the gaps of our training. Perhaps the final test of leadership potential is whether you ‘sit’ on the results of such an analysis or do something about it.

Concentrate on those areas that you are weak in =) with the help of the Holy Spirit, you slowly see yourselves getting better and reaching to that Goal =)

With great love..
