Don't Fret

Psalm 112: 6-8

⁶Surely the righteous will never be shaken;
    they will be remembered forever.
⁷ They will have no fear of bad news;
    their hearts are steadfast, trusting in the Lord.
⁸ Their hearts are secure, they will have no fear;
    in the end they will look in triumph on their foes.

My Protector and my Saviour Declaration

Prophetic Declaration - Discovery

Heavenly Father
I come before you and boldly confess Jesus Christ as my Lord and my Saviour
The Lord is my light and my salvation
He hears my voice and upholds me with His victorious right hand
In the name of Jesus, I come into full agreement with God's prophetic word for my life
and boldly declare that; This is the year of DISCOVERY


In this year, the Lord shall open the eyes of my understanding;
And show me the riches of His glory
I will call upon the Lord
He will answer me and cause me to experience great and mighty things.
In the name of Jesus, I reject every word of failure spoken against me and release God's favour over my life.


I commit myself to walk uprightly before God and His will;
Therefore, the Lord shall surround me with His presence and give me peace.
His glory upon me shines brighter and brighter.
When I sit in darkness, the Lord shall be my light;
When I dig in a dry land, the Lord shall give me water.


He will restore the missing pieces in my life and make me whole
In this year, the inspiration of the Almighty shall give me wisdom beyond my years
the Most High shall magnify Himself in my life and smile upon me.
He shall guide me into new territories and strengthen me to possess my portion.
With ordinary tools I shall achieve extraordinary results.


In the name of Jesus,
I receive a fresh anointing of wisdom, revelation and understanding.
My spirit is open to God's Spirit,
My mind is filled with God's ideas,
My eyes are alert to new opportunities.


The God of Heaven will prosper the work of my hand and make me fruitful.
I am fully persuaded
That this year is my year of DISCOVERY
I believe it, I receive it, and I have it... right now, in Jesus name,
Amen!

I am God's Favourite

This is my toastmaster speech no. 6


Would you believe if I tell you that among the people here right now, I am God’s favourite? Not you but me! No? I insist. Do you want to know why? I’ll tell you why.

The Message is Clear

Trouble and distress have come upon me, but your commands give me delight. - Psalm 119:143

But how can we access God's command in times of trouble and distress like ST Yolanda gave? no communication, no electricity, no food, no water, almost everything are wiped out. No bible book, or even notepad where we used to write his Words. ST Yolanda aftermath is just a light example of what has to come in the end of the world. 

Count your BLESSINGS

Ayiiieee! Its our 3rd year JCTD anniversary and am waiting for Bha to fetch me. I just downloaded the blog app.. hmmm.. what to do while waiting? I dont have plants vs zombies app and my candy crush is waiting for tickets!

My teacher and director... my God!

This is what the Lord says— your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: “I am the Lord your God, who teaches you what is best for you, who directs you in the way you should go. Isaiah 48:17 NIV

 

Tithe to Fast

Gee.. this article was in my draft more than a year ago.. time to publish it!
This article is inspired by our third week of Friday Worship Service last January 20, 2012.. when I was scheduled to exhort tithe and offering.

Tithing: Bitter-Sweet

I will consider tithing as "bitter sweet". It's like eating bitter gourd. So FEW EAT it and MANY DEFY it because they dont know the BENEFITS they can get by consuming it, or even worse... they knew.. they just DONT like the "BITTER" taste. We normally like sweets which give toothache and triggers the famous diabetes.

A Promise of Restoration

We just came from our bible study. Everytime our Pastor will say "Be ready for you will be filled with Holy Spirit", it makes me excited because that is the only time I truly pray.. not by my own language but by speaking of tongues. But tonight was different. Why? Because I didn't pray for myself. That's true. From call to worship song:

Who is greatest in Heaven?

Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 18:4)

Many who are first will be last, and the last first.

Matthew 19:30 "But many who are first will be last, and the last first"

 Prior to this verse, the disciples asked Jesus of who will be saved. Jesus said that all who followed him, everyone who has dare to leave his house, his family or his great possessions, for His sake, will receive hundredfold and eternal life.

And this verse followed.

Dont Be Afraid

" And the Lord said unto Jasha (Joshua), Be not afraid because of them: for tomorrow about this time will I deliver them up all slain before Israel: thou shalt hough their horses, and burnt their chariots with fire" - Joshua 11:6

I Am Joseph in Genesis 39!

Why??? Read it^BOLDLY.

¹ Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt. Potiphar, an Egyptian who was one of Pharaoh’s officials, the captain of the guard, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had taken him there.
 ² The LORD was with Joseph so that he prospered, and he lived in the house of his Egyptian master. ³ When his master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD gave him success in everything he did, ⁴ Joseph found favor in his eyes and became his attendant. Potiphar put him in charge of his household, and he entrusted to his care everything he owned. ⁵ From the time he put him in charge of his household and of all that he owned, the LORD blessed the household of the Egyptian because of Joseph.

Why Bible has so MANY Versions?

When I had a discussion with my colleague who is Muslim, about the bible, he asked me why christian bible has so many versions? Compare to Muslim which is only one. I didn't answered, for honestly, I only knew few and KJV is the most popular among them all.

What is LOVE??

1 Corinthians 13 

The Greatest Gift

1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.

2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned,[a] but have not love, it profits me nothing.

4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up;

5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil;

6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;

7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

8 Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away.

9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part.

10 But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.

11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

12 For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.

13 And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is -------------------------.>>>

Conflict and Confusion

January 12, 2009

I can't help to smile while reading this.... its been a while...


I am in state of dilemma. For I thought I already know my capacity in handling conflict situations. I do actually, except for one thing that I cant handle very well… which I’m still “gaga” when it comes to it.
I was not shaken when I am being laid-off in our project. I gave it to the Lord, for I hold on His words, I hold on his promises. I know that He has plan for me (Jeremiah 29:11). So I didn’t mind if I was one of those whom affected by what we so called “global crisis”, I didnt mind if I have so many dues to pay, cause I know all God’s works are  good with those who love Him, those whom he has called according to his purpose (Roman 8:28). I know God will provide.

Well, that is ok. But prior to that, I did something against God’s will. I broke somebody’s heart. And now I’m starting to break mine. I thought I already surrender ALL to the Lord. But I still did silly things. The guilt is within me because I know its wrong, I shouldn’t.. but I did. Its true that the more you want to be obedient in God’s law, the more you are prone to commit sin.  I remember the Romans 7:15 says: “I do not understand what I do, for I dont do what I would like to do, but instead I do what I hate.”  It is manifesting now on me. The evil is chasing me by using my heart, for that is the part I cant handle properly. Its like I’m playing a tug-of-war, but my opponent is no other than but myself too. The guilt is more because I know it will not please God if I do it, if I will choose to proceed for my own sake of happiness… if I can call it “happiness”.
Its quite funny because that sin is still just a temptation . Its quite funny because its only I, who is confused, bothered and struggled. I am ahead of the problem which is about to arise.

I want to lift it up to the Lord… so help me God.
