Look. You have in your hands, right now, an incredible opportunity to touch the world. What you hold is immense power to reach the billions, via the road called “Social Media”. What would you like them to know, with your pictures you post, your words you write, your videos you film? That you’re good-looking? That you’re smart? That you’re funny? That you’re kind? That you’re an amazing human being that’s deemed worthy of attention and love and all good gifts that the heavens has to offer? What if I tell you that you’re already all of the above, and more? That you’re loved. That you’re special. That you have something that ONLY YOU can offer to this world. That you have no need to earn all the above from walking down this road. That you don’t need to prove to anyone, not even to yourself, that you are a beautifully and fearfully-made masterpiece. What if you post not from a place of seeking, but instead from a position of possessing and offering? How would that change what you post? How would that change how you view what you have in your hands? How would that change how you live? You are in for an amazing 2019! After all, it’s the first time in all of history that the year 2019 A.D happens :p #keiwview https://www.instagram.com/p/BskZjQIln04HUOzYgnyxYNbBBfIY3HqXMO67H00/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=xij8021oghhv

2018 came like a whirlwind 🌪then a earthquake 💥 then a fire 🔥 After the fire, came a whisper, the sole thing that we were after: Him. 2018 was many things. I’m so thankful there’s photos to remember them by, because my memory and heart became so so full. 2018 was a year of learning to walk worthy of the calling that we’ve received from Him. No more 4/10 lifestyle and expecting a 10/10 destiny, but 10/10 habits and consecration for this 10/10 calling. Soon it also meant learning how remaining and abiding in Him was not passive, but entirely active, for the troubles of this world constantly attempts to pull one away into its ebbs and flow. He led me to build a home in John 15, not a hotel. 2019, I’m reminded to remain in my “where” of John 15, and to build my “why” in Phil 3:8-10, and to live my “how” in Eph 5. Everyday is just an adventure and I’m enjoying every single “when” and “what” :’) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsZFN48ltJssObR-6aCnU7V436Y0YSs1PIvWMU0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1qa9f20m3a8rn

“For this reason, because I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints, I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers,” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭1:15-16‬ ‭ESV‬‬ Dear N500, you’ve got a love that’s steady as a rock and as constant as the river flow. You’ve got a heart that’s as big as the hands that you serve with. You’ve got a confidence that’s assured of yourself in Him and a swagger that none could match or replicate. Most of all, you’ve got each other, whose faith in Him and love for each other inspires me to see a new paradigm of how we “do church”. — “That’s the Greek word koinonia. It comes from the adjective koinos that means “common.” Koinonia bears witness to what we have in common and what we share as Christian men and women and young people. It bears witness to two complementary truths. First, koinonia expresses what we share in together, what we have received together, what we participate in together. That is the grace of God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. So the apostle John, at the beginning of his first letter, says, “Our fellowship [koinonia] is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ”… But koinonia also bears witness to what we share outward together—not only what we receive together, but what we give together.” — Thank you for being my koinonia. In 2019, let it grow deeper, wider, closer, stronger. 🌊 #thankeiw https://www.instagram.com/p/BrZHiQWHNqqIMTGYXsFUJXujsPnMxiWJsRSxFI0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1gpfi4bi4cd8e

Three. “Fathered by God” - John Eldridge - “All masculine initiation is ultimately spiritual. The tests and challenges, the joys and adventures are all designed to awaken a man’s soul, draw him into contact with the masculine in himself, in other men, in the world, and in God, as Father. I make no distinction between taking a boy or a man on an adventure and, say, teaching that man to pray. The adventure — rightly framed — can be a powerful experience of God. And prayer or Bible study — rightly framed — is meant to be the same. Most boys and men share the perception that God is found in church and that the rest of life is . . . Just the rest of life. It’s the old Gnostic heresy, the division of the sacred and the profane. The tragedy of this is that the rest of life seems far more attractive to them than church, and this God seems removed and even opposed to the things that make them come alive. But as Christians, we believe God embraces the physical world, that he loves Creation as we do, pronounced it very good, that he speaks through it and uses it to teach us many things. . We have got to recover the wildness of spirituality.” - There are books where quotes stand out, and then there are books where quotes make you stand up. This is an adventure of a read. John Eldridge has a knack for stirring the man in you to rise up, deny yourself and pick up your cross. . He brings men on a journey of initiation, painting picturesque imagery as he takes you through each stage of a son to our Father. He patterns observations and details practicality. Most of all, he points you back to the heart of our Father. . Father, as You call us sons, take us on the adventure that only a Father can for His son. Do not just teach us to be men after You, but initiate us into Fathers just like You, yet always resting in our knowing of sonship in You. Father this generation of sons. Father us, Heavenly Father. #keiwreads https://www.instagram.com/p/BrJ-eEeHnNKThQkQ-MtVUBiXnI93dsIME80mX80/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1jizknfv6vtin

“wHeN yOu rEaLiSe yoU wERe nEVEr mAdE tO fiT iN” - Had a couple of conversations the past few days regarding this.. There are so many angles to go at from this thought, but the most prominent one for me right now is that He makes us each all so beautifully and INTENTIONALLY different, that there is such power in your YES in recognising how He sees you. When you start to be the you that He made you to be, you’re walking in destiny. You are not your past, your mistakes, your sickness, your pain, He dealt with all of that. You are greatly and deeply loved, and even if it’s gonna take your entire life, He’s gonna take it just so you can see it. Just like trying to get out of a pit of foam cubes, it’s gonna take awhile to get out of old mentalities and ways after you realising this. But the good news is, even if it’s gonna take your whole life to get out of a pit of foam cubes (lol noob), He’s gonna take that journey with you ❤️ https://www.instagram.com/p/BqjNHbLnqAWsQ2nhGnkanQPKnhcupx9mZo4Res0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17yxqzrolfsqr

Was totally AMPED up to go to the trampoline park, I totally FLIPPED when I heard we were gg to a trampoline park. My heart JUMPED for joy! There was a BOUNCE in my step as we went there... Distasteful puns aside (chehhhh), it’s been awhile since I laughed at things other than memes (the sedentary life would do that to u) and laughed with treasured people ☺️ There’s little words to express the experience of when old friends gather, share old stories saying “Remember when...?” Like for last night, remember when we all ganged up on @ceceliatayyy in dodgeball? 🤪 Remember when the only thing @lesterrrrrr wanted to do at @ampedsingapore was to spear and RKO people 👺 Or remember when @jaimehan did a flip and kneed herself? 🤐 Remember when we discussed about apologetics even though I had been awake for 27 hours? 🤯@pragmatic_asthmatic Some of us may not be old friends (yet), but here’s to walking this adventure of a life together and many more “Remember when?” moments to come 🥰 Missing those who couldn’t make it 😭 https://www.instagram.com/p/BqRLacbHK8DpaSAhbtndSJjcmYGxMExNe00u940/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1pea7zpllz8zp

“I am a simple man, I see mountain I climb.” — Having finished 2 weeks of reservist and witnessed a memorable end to it, there was lots of time for observation and reflection while ironing bedsheets (which for some reason is never straight no matter how I long I iron them, strange) . People have different definitions of what it means to be “Christian”, “Holy”, “officially Baptised”, impressions of which I was definitely surprised by, because a) It’s been a while since I’ve to explain myself, b) these societally/culturally/individually perceived standards are impossible to match up to because they were never intended to be matched up, it’s an ever ascending mountain with no peak, and are basically not what believing in Jesus is about, so here’s a short-form reminder to myself and anyone who’s interested: I’m Christian because I know I’m not “holy” or perfect, and that I need help, so don’t be surprised when I mess up or show bad habits just like any other person. Living in close proximity, every part of our life tends to get amplified. We’re all works in progress, I just happen to believe in a divine being helping and guiding and shaping me through this adventure we call life. I believe in Jesus precisely because I know that I’m imperfect and that life is imperfect and that I need a Saviour to change all of that. . So if you have a Christian friend who doesn’t seem as “Christian”, know that they’re trying just as hard as you are, just albeit in a different way. Think of it as trying out a different hero in Overwatch/Dota or going for a different build in an RPG game. . And if you’re Christian, don’t be so hard up on yourself when your friends don’t understand and keep “judging” you. The standards you have to meet are not defined by them but by the Bible, and Holy Spirit sets your pace of growth, not them. Continue to seek excellence but know that you will mess up. Victorious living is not from never messing up but rising up with Him every time that you do. Be set free to celebrate this path you’ve chosen, where it’s not easy but where you never walk alone.

He remembers your dreams. Every child-like, seemingly insignificant dream, He holds them steady in the palms of His hands, and keeps them ever before Him. He never forgets, even when we do. Such is the Father who wants our best, more than we want our best. — This was a full circle moment for me. When I was a young Christian, I remember sweatily baring my heart out in small room in the dusk of many a night. I had many dreams, many of which are coming back to life for me this season. This is one of them. Waking up on the morn before this portion of the trip, I remember that as a 18/19 y.o kid sharing that one day I wanted to praise and worship God on a mountain (no not Bukit Timah)(but yes I’ve done that), and I remember that it was also because of this song. “Did you feel the mountains tremble? Did you hear the oceans roar?” Back then, this song bore no remarkable significance other than me being a kid wanting to sing to God a song having the word mountain in it while on an actual mountain. I’m not kidding on this 😂 So as I stood there and sang over His chosen people and land, overlooking such a vast expanse of open space that brings such sweet release to a Singaporean’s soul, these many years of adventures dawned on me, some of passioned destiny, and many of joyful exuberance born out of child-like desires to simply enjoy this life He has given the way He intends it. This was a full circle moment. This was the culmination of a dream and the seed for many more. You are who You are, and You are so faithful. You’ve been so and You won’t stop now 🏔 — #levisrael #keiwview #thankkeiw https://www.instagram.com/p/Bokd3tqlQUlNTv2UoQc8kqoZgPUmeaEYbDSR4M0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1teque34veys5

k e i t h L E V I w o n g — Levi (Hebrew) - Joined/Attached (English) — “Keith, the tribe of Levi was not given an allotment of land, because their lot was with Me. . They were given access to My presence anywhere and everywhere in a time when My presence only resided in the tent, the cloud, the temple. . Likewise, no land I have given to you, except that My presence is always with you, wherever you go.” — Deut 10:9 “Therefore Levi has no portion nor inheritance with his brethren; the Lord is his inheritance, just as the LORD your God promises him.” — The story of how this name came is a Long one, so I’ll just share this: In your name is His identity for you, and identity is linked to His destiny in you, all of which have been written and planned since before the foundation of time. To me, this name made sense of my entire life in ways I never knew until this trip. — What’s your name? — #levisrael https://www.instagram.com/p/BobVtcLnIFHWUdNmXdsgAisuxF_iTkm2VrxzNg0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1sdijixzko64i

If this adventure doesn’t leave you at a loss of words... then I ask for an even grander adventure for each of you. And then I ask just as a kindred spirit shared, that these are the kind of experiences that stay with you forever, that when we go back home, this is what we sing of and this is what we speak of, and asked that God give us language that we may relive this experience again and again and let this revelation evolve, so that when we share, people immediately catch the spirit and the heart behind it (@electropopsicles, Israel, 2018/5778). — Abba, blow us away, sweep us off our feet, leave us breathless and wordless as we gaze upon the awe and majesty in child-like wonder of You. And then, give us Your Language, to tell Your Story, and build Your Kingdom here. — I half-joked that I was going home to the Fatherland. So why was I so surprised when God took me seriously and showed me how Kingdom Family looked like? . He calls His Prodigal Children to come home, He is calling for fathers and mothers to receive them. He is calling for families to reconcile. He is calling for generations to unite unto Him. . He is calling the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers (Malachi 4:5-6). — Even as we touched down from the airport yesterday, I commented to @carmewawa, “It feels like this Israel trip hasn’t ended yet,” and she just laughed. . What a familiar emotion in us all. #levisrael https://www.instagram.com/p/BniVQOzBvtY1eptuJjwj2SSt1UhzChz35baTLI0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1d4nh2xsf184a

~Where all the streams flow as one river~ ~To wash away our brokenness~ Israel, oh Israel, Come home, sweet child Come back from the wild You’ve been fighting on your own for too long Come home, sweet child — So surreal that it’s hard to believe it’s all real, but fortunately it’s Israel so it’s most definitely real. — Where do we go from here? Only Abba knows And it is beautiful. #Levisrael https://www.instagram.com/p/Bndtq2QnHQ5DCl0TJbNRD28itDlLeff9kqaNOc0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1otgtrskelnak

When thoughts become dreams and dreams become words and words become acts and acts become destiny... This was a sprouted seed from late night conversations, and again became another seed sown. How exciting a time we live in! From the Upper room to the lowercase. Never thought working with friends would be so conflicting different and passionately empowering at the same time. This is a season that definitely left a mark. For what reason, I’m beautifully finding out, more and more ❤️ Thanking God for this adventure with y’all @sweetaeration @locolocaloy To learning Kingdom Family/Business/Community/Living! 🔥 https://www.instagram.com/p/BnI2YwZhffKrq8pHTiG1pTd6LYQs5ATTM9gEDU0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=11b33pimf9htc

xiii. “You don’t choose family, family chooses you.” Thank you for choosing me, again, and again, and again. Thank you for showing me that cell group (or for some of you out there, life group or small group), is not mainly about achieving objectives and goals and numbers, but about living life together. When the goal is a process in itself, then the very act of coming tgt becomes the summation of its purpose. Everything else is in overflow of that. Heb 10:24-25 “And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.” Thank you for teaching me what commitment looks like. Thank you for showing me what valuing one another looks like. Thank you for showing me what life with Christ, looks like. #keiwview https://www.instagram.com/p/BnIsHJhhGVPCFs9wilkAbwTOs-x6VvMOUsJ_mw0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1wddoy2k8w6g4

Two. “Culture of Honor” - Danny Silk — “Honor creates life-giving and life-promoting relationships. The key here is “ACCURATELY ACKNOWLEDGING WHO PEOPLE ARE”. We can only do this when we recognise their God-given identities and roles. This is what we see in the statement of Jesus: “He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward. And he who receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward.” Names and titles are important. Mother, Father, Son, Daughter, apostle, prophet, Christian, human being - such names define a person’s role and identity and, when used correctly, establish God-designed relationships in which specific rewards are received to build and strengthen us.” — I laughed when I read that verse, because what came to my mind when I read that was: “He who receives a CGL (@ceceliatayyy) / ZS (@vienyap) in the name of a CGL / ZS shall receive a CGL / ZS’s reward.” 😂😭🙏🏻 — When we recognise that ALL parts of the Body of Christ are important, from the mighty brain to the delicate pinky toe, that none are insignificant and deemed more “important” in this great race, we channel Heaven on earth. This book phrases it all too aptly, not seeing each other as more or less, but as who they are in the eyes of Abba, as WHO HE MADE THEM. Even if they’re not there yet, we are to “accurately acknowledge who people are”, calling out their identity and destiny that He already laid out from whence before the foundations of this life. This changes what honor means. Honor is for EVERYONE, from the senior pastor to the pre-believing friend, to recognise and affirm the VALUE and WORTH that God placed in them. Reading this changed my outlook of this earthly walk. Great books deepen you, and great teachers enlighten you. I’m left desiring for more on how this Culture of Honor looks like from society to society, and how do Biblical standards come into play practically? What does honor look like today? #keiwreads https://www.instagram.com/p/BnIjilJBQASHbz25HRqD2nM4hsz_N2q3ob8hLc0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=bulkt88pwp3n

C A M P C O N N E C T 2 0 1 8 (Long overdue reflection) (Last photo is definitely one for the ages) — Everyone has their favourite moments from camp, here are some of mine. I’m sure tho, that the real favourites are those that went unrecorded, only captured in the heart of the moment with all the memory space our five sense could muster. This year was just... different. At this point, two and a half months after, the fruit of how powerfully different it was, is so much more apparent. What’s the purpose of a “zone” camp? I don’t mean any of this in the belittling sense, but in the “is there more”, holy dissatisfaction sense. Are all these merely for evangelism, for a fresh fire to fall upon individual walks? As heart-wrenchingly important it is to form a rallying cry for lost sons and daughters to come home, and as passionately important it is to receive fresh revelation of His face, this year’s camp showed all this and MORE. If the measure of a person’s walk with God is how it looks like on the weekdays, then the measure of a zone camp’s fruitfulness is not just the number but the consistency and longevity of lives transformed in the months to come. Good seeds bear fruit, and good fruits bear more good seeds. This year, and from the months after, beyond the divine stories of encounters, the atmosphere shifted and a culture is being... cultivated. Walls between members of this Body fell, as out of the love we have freely received, we freely give to build bridges in this Body. To me, this renewed what zone camp is about. It’s important to run with the cell, and it’s JUST as important to learn how to run with the Body. This walk was never meant to be a lonesome one, though there may be seasons so, but I’m learning that the purpose of fruitfulness and favour was never meant to be self-consumed/enjoyed. Fruitfulness and favour are meant to be FOR the benefit of others, thus the call to be fruitful is the call to bless others, to be favoured is to be positioned to bless. I’m in nostalgia and anticipation for more. God won’t just “do it again”, but because He always moves from glory to glory, He’s gonna do it BETTER and MORE! 🔥❤️🌊 https://www.instagram.com/p/BnG9sMyhVw5XMkYCtj3mJqjTx3HzYAbnNUqy1U0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=bfmaiuxfllno
