INFUSE

About Us

Infuse is the youth ministry of Full Gospel Assembly Ipoh.
We believe in saving and leading the next generation of believers through praise and worship, prayer and the Word of God.
Young people need inspiration through the language they speak to reveal their values and propel them into God's plan for their life.
This year our theme is "Dare 2 Share". We INFUSERs are going all out to share the gospel. One youth reaching out to one youth a month. 30 infusers x 12 youths a year = 360 youths. Hence, INFUSE REVOLUTION 360!
We meet up every Fridays at 8:00pm.
Come and join us for an awesome time with God!

The news :

Kelvin spoke about 'Image and Likeness' during the Friday youth service.

Genesis 1:26-27, 31
26 Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground."

27 So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them.

31 God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning - the sixth day.

The bible states that man is made in the image and likeness of God.

- Image -

Image is a word taken from sensible things and denotes likeness in outward form.

Therefore, it means that we look like God on the outside.

Psalms 139:14
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.

That's right, people. God did not just simply created us without effort and care. We are fearfully and wonderfully made!

So the message here is, do not be ashamed by how you look. Other people might say that you're ugly, deformed, fat, etc., but do not be affected by it.
Must guys have six packs and huge bulging muscles to look good?
Must girls have the curves and a pretty face to look good?
That's the worldly way of rating whether you look good or not.

We should not follow the worldly ways. The bible says that we are wonderfully and fearfully made, and God's works are wonderful. We are wonderful people, because God made us! We should not be ashamed of how we look, instead we should be praising God for creating us in His image.

Here's a question you should ask yourselves :

Who do you compare your beauty to when you evaluate your body features?

- Likeness -

Likeness means resemblance in any quality, external or internal.

This means that we have God's characteristics in us!

Ephesians 3:16-19
16 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being,
17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love,
18 may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ,
19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge - that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

1 John 4:16
16 And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him.

The verses speak for themselves.

Ask yourself this question :

Do you compare the strength of our character based on how popular we are?

In conclusion :

Are you evaluating your own looks and character the Godly way or the Worldly way?
