4 THINGS YOU PROBABLY NEVER KNEW YOUR MOBILE PHONE COULD DO
mobile phone can actually be a life saver or an emergency tool for survival.
Check out the things that you can do with it:
1. Emergency
The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is 112. If you find yourself out
of the coverage area of your mobile; network and there is an emergency, dial
112 and the mobile will search any existing network to establish the
emergency number for you, and interestingly this number 112 can be dialed
even if the keypad is locked. Try it out.
2. Have you locked your keys in the car?
Does your car have remote keyless entry? This may come in handy someday.
Good reason to own a cell phone: If you lock your keys in the car and the
spare keys are at home, call someone at home on their mobile phone from your
cell phone.
Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have the person at
your home press the unlock button, holding it near the mobile phone on their
end. Your car will unlock. Saves someone from having to
drive your keys to you. Distance is no object. You could be hundreds of
miles away, and if you can reach someone who has the other "remote" for your
car, you can unlock the doors (or the trunk).
Editor's Note: It works fine! We tried it out and it unlocked our car over a
mobile phone!"
3. Hidden Battery Power
Imagine your mobile battery is very low. To activate, press the keys *3370#
Your mobile will restart with this reserve and the instrument will show a
50% increase in battery. This reserve will get charged when you charge your
mobile next time.
4. How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone?
To check your Mobile phone's serial number, key in the following digits on
your phone: * # 0 6 #
A 15 digit code will appear on the screen. This number is unique to your
handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe. When your phone get
stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them this code. They
will then be able to block your handset so even if the thief changes the SIM
card, your phone will be totally useless. You probably won't get your phone
back, but at least you know that whoever stole it can't use/sell it either.
If everybody does this, there would be no point in people stealing mobile
phones.
This is the kind of information people don't mind receiving, so pass it on
to your family and friends

10 things God won't ask:
10 things God won't ask:
1. God won't ask what kind of car you drove; He'll ask how many people you drove who didn't have transportation.
2. God won't ask the square footage of your house, He'll ask how many people you welcomed into your home.
3. God won't ask about the clothes you had in your closet, He’ll ask how many you helped to clothe.
4. God won't ask what your highest salary was; He'll ask if you compromised your character to obtain it.
5. God won't ask what your job title was; He'll ask if you performed your job to the best of your ability.
6. God won't ask how many friends you had; He'll ask how many people to whom you were a friend.
7. God won't ask in what neighborhood you lived, He'll ask how you treated your neighbors.
9. God won't ask why it took you so long to seek Salvation; He'll lovingly take you to your mansion in heaven, and not to the gates of Hell.
Read Carefully
Happy moments, praise God.
Difficult moments, seek God.
Quiet moments, worship God.
Painful moments, trust God.
Every moment, thank God.

The Pastor and his son
Short Talk:
All the best to all the Students who will be sitting for their final examinations. To all the Swinburne students study hard and study hard for the upcoming final examinations. All the best to all of you and God bless you all.
..........................................................................................................................................................................
A good reminder of God's Love.
Every Sunday afternoon, after the morning service at the church, the Pastor and his eleven year old son would go out into their town and hand out Gospel Tracts.
This particular Sundayafternoon, as it came time for thePastor and his son to go to the streets with their tracts, it was verycold outside, as well as pouring down rain. The boy bundled up in his warmest and driest clothes and said, "OK, dad,I'm ready."
His Pastor dad asked, "Ready for what?"
"Dad, it's time we gather our tracts together and go out." Dad responds, "Son, it's very cold outside and it's pouring down rain." The boy gives his dad a surprised look, asking, "But Dad, aren't people still going to Hell, even though it's raining?"
Dad answers, "Son, I am not going out in this weather." Despondently, the boy asks, "Dad, can I go? Please?"
His father hesitated for a moment then said, "Son, you can go. Here are the tracts, be careful son."
"Thanks Dad!"
And with that, he was off and out into the rain. his eleven year old boy walked the streets of the town going door to door and handing everybody he met in the street a Gospel Tract.
After two hours of walking in the rain,
he was soaking, bone-chilled wet and down to his VERY LAST TRACT. He stopped on a corner and looked for someone to hand a tract to, but the streets were totally deserted.
Then he turned toward the first home he saw and started up the sidewalk to the front door and rang the door bell. He rang the bell, but nobody answered. He rang it again and again, but still no one answered. He waited but still no answer.
Finally, this eleven year old trooper turned to leave, but something stopped him. Again, he turned to the door and rang the bell and knocked loudly on the door with his fist. He waited, something holding him there on the front porch! He rang again and this time the door slowly opened. Standing in the doorway was a very sad-looking elderly lady. She softly asked, "What can I do for you, son?" With radiant eyes and a smile that lit up her world, this little boy said, "Ma'am, I'm sorry if I disturbed you, but I just want to tell you that *JESUS REALLY DOES LOVE YOU* and I came to give you my very last Gospel Tract which will tell you all about JESUS and His great LOVE." With that, he handed her his last tract and turned to leave. She called to him as he departed. "Thank you, son! And God Bless You!"
Well, the following Sunday morning in church Pastor Dad was in the pulpit. As the service began, he asked, "Does anybody have any testimony or want to say anything?"
Slowly, in the back row of the church, an elderly lady stood to her feet. As she began to speak, a look of glorious radiance came from her face, "No one in this church knows me. I've never been here before. You see, before last Sunday I was not a Christian. My husband passed on some time ago, leaving me totally alone in this world. Last Sunday, being a particularly cold and rainy day, it was even more so in my heart that I came to the end of the line where I no longer had any hope or will to live. So I took a rope and a chair and ascended the stairway into the attic of my home. I fastened the rope securely to a rafter in the roof, then stood on the chair and fastened the neck. Standing on that chair, so lonely and broken-hearted I was about to leap off, when suddenly the loud ringing of my doorbell downstairs startled me. I thought, "I'll wait a minute, and whoever it is will go away." I waited and waited, but the ringing doorbell seemed to get louder and more insistent, and then the person ringing also started knocking loudly. I thought to myself again, "Who on earth could this be? Nobody ever rings my bell or comes to see me." I loosened the rope from my neck and started for the front door, all the while the bell rang louder and louder.
When I opened the door and looked I could hardly believe my eyes, for there on my front porch was the most radiant and angelic little boy I had ever seen in my life. His SMILE, oh, I could never describe it to you! The words that came from his mouthcaused my heart that had long been dead, TO LEAP TO LIFE as he exclaimed with a cherub-like voice, "Ma'am, I just came to tell you that JESUS REALLY DOES LOVE YOU." Then he gave me this Gospel Tract that I now hold in my hand.
As the little angel disappeared back out into the cold and rain, I closed my door and read slowly every word of this Gospel Tract. Then I went up to my attic to get my rope and chair. I wouldn't be needing them any more. You see---I am now a Happy Child of the KING. Since the address of your church was on the back of this Gospel Tract, I have come here to personally say THANK YOU to God's little angel who came just in the nick of time and by so doing, spared my soul from an eternity in hell."
There was not a dry eye in the church. And as shouts of praise and honor to THE KING resounded off the very rafters of the building, Pastor Dad descended from the pulpit to the front pew where the little angel was seated.
He took his son in his arms and sobbed uncontrollably. Probably no church has had a more glorious moment, and probably this universe has never seen a Papa that was more filled with love & honour for his son... Except for One.
Our Father also allowed His Son to go out into a cold and dark world. He received His Son back with joy unspeakable, and as all of heaven shouted praises and honour to The King, the Father sat His beloved Son on a throne far above all principality and power and every name that is named. Blessed are your eyes for reading this message.
Heaven is for His people!
Remember, God's message CAN make the difference in the life of someone close to you.

Here is something meaningful for all of us. Something we can learn and apply it in our daily life.
Don't feel the work that you do is pain, because there will be always a reason for that pain or work. So face the pain, for the pain you face, there will be definitely happiness ahead.

10 extra things you should know about studying technique
1. Start by tidying-up it’s therapeutic! A neat study desk or space will le you feel more in control and confident.
2. In the morning, your body is more refreshed and capable to absorb more information – so, take that time to concentrate on subjects that are more factual in nature e.g. Biology, History & Economics. Switch to more relaxing subject like Mathematics, English & Arts as the sun gets higher in the day.
3. Some may study better sprawled on the floor, sitting across-legged or walking about. Find out what studying posture suits you the best. However, never study lying on bed. It makes you feel sleepier and damages your eyes.
4. You need about eight hours of sleep on the average. If you tend to have a nap in the afternoon, be careful not too nap too long, as it can disrupt normal sleeping patterns. If you must have nap, make it less than an hour.
5. Avoid Maggie Mee and sweet stuff (Chocolates, ice cream and candies) at least a month before any major examinations. They contain chemicals that affect your blood flow to the brain.
6. Eat more fish and banana. They are your brain food.
7. Divide your assignments or homework into 4 categories by priority: important and urgent, not important but urgent, important but not urgent and not important and not urgent.
8. You need to practice/repeat a routine for at least 56 days consistently before it becomes a habit or something you would not forget until you die.
9. Music and mathematics are inter-enhancing because they are located almost opposite to each other in your cerebrum. Theoretically, listening to soft music will help you to do calculations easier and vice versa. Hard metal and rock music are an exception.
10.Memorize and meditate Matthew 6:33 (Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be given unto you as well) Don’t let studies become your god, but let Jesus be the God of your studies@
Our brains are our important asset and valued gift bestowed by the Creator. Therefore, as Christians, we aspire to be good students because we display a good witness to others and we please God by working and fulfilling the potential that God has made for us. Put in our best efforts in studies, and then leave the result to Him.
