For do I now persuade men, or God?

Acts 4:19 NKJV
But Peter and John answered and said to them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you more than to God, you judge.

******
Shalom and good Wednesday afternoon.... Taken your lunch? Well today, again God us reminding us - are we God pleaser or man pleaser? Father bless Your. Let it change they way we do things in the ministry. In Jesus name, amen.

You know this may be a short sharing. But i believe its a wake up call for everyone. Sometimes, when God speaks and ask us to do something, we tend to delay. But when human ask to do, we do it faster. Why? To get promoted. To be recognized. And many other things. Some people even will go to the extend of betraying one another just for speaking up the truth. It is better to obey God and do His will then to obey human and die.

In obeying God and doing His will, there are consequences that you need bare with. People sometimes tends to despise any Word from the Holy Spirit. When a prophet releases a Word, people believes. Yet a normal church member reveals a word they tend to despise it. Why? Because he/she is just a normal person. So if this normal person releases the Word from the Holy Spirit, later, there are consequences that he/she had to bare.

Whether to obey God or not to? It is your choice. If you firmly believe it is the stirring of the Holy Spirit, then you need to say it out. As Peter said.. Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you more than to God, you judge.

Going to the NEXT LEVEL is about pleasing God totally and not men. Which category are you? Are you dare enough to stand up for what you believe in and stand up for the cause? Or you feel, its better for me to shut my mouth and play it safe? Be bold! Be aggressive! Be radical! Do what God has spoken to you. Do not hold back.

Galatians 1:10 NKJV
For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ.

That times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord,

Acts 3:19-21 NKJV
Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that He may send Jesus Christ, who was preached to you before, whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began.

******
Shalom and good Wednesday morning! This morning we will have a refreshing breakfast from the Holy Spirit. Father bless Your word as we partake of it. Let it refreshes our spirit and soul, and restore us from inside out. In Jesus name, amen!

Times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord. To be able to step into the NEXT LEVEL... Our spirit must be refreshed. It only happens with true repentance. Here, Peter says, "Repent therefore and be converted." Repent and be converted from our old self to a new creation. Again Peter wasn't teaching a new religion. He was telling them to repent and be converted from unbelieve to believe in Jesus Christ.
Times of refreshing comes when we truly repent with all our hearts. Leaving the oldself and stepping into the newly created being. After repentance, there is a time - times of refreshing. Whereby God refreshes us, renews us, restrengthens us and revives us for His purpose. Now is the time for repentance and to experience the times of refreshing from God.

Next, times of restoration. As we allow God to deal with us from inside out, He will restore everything that we have lost. He will restore it double. The greater the sacrifice in the ministry, the bigger the blessing that God has prepared for everyone of us. Restoration is all about everything that we need in order to do His will. 1st He refreshes us the He restores us. He restores the strength. He restores our soul. He restores everything and place us in His perfect will.

Time spent in the Lord is never a wasted time. Waiting time is never a wasted time. Therefore come to God with all your heart. Miracle begins with a humbled heart before God.

One Accord.

Acts 2:46-47 NKJV

So continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.

******
Shalom and good Tuesday afternoon! Taken your lunch? My food is bread. Therefore lets break the bread together. Fathet bless Your word, the living Bread of life that it may feed us as we hunger and thirst after You more. In Jesus name, amen!!!

:::NEXT LEVEL::: begins when we are one with God. Not that i mean for us to be equally as God, taking His position and so on. NOPE. What i meant is, being united with God. The apostles were in one accord. And they prayed in one accord. And the Holy Spirit came down and filled them all. There is power in being One. Power of the Holy Spirit is manifested when His people are united and be ONE.

When the body of Christ are united, great massive power of the Holy Spirit is being released and signs and wonders will take place. We must be ONE as Jesus and Father are ONE.

Revival only happens when people of God breaks the mentality and the walls of denominations that's been a stumbling block all this while. JESUS DID NOT BRING DENOMINATIONS. JESUS DID NOT BRING RELIGION. JESUS BROUGHT LIFE AND LIFE MORE ABUNDANTLY. He did not ask to start this denomination and that denomination. Unless and until we realized the power of unity amongst the brethren, we will not be able to see revival.

Let us come together, break the bread together, pray together and step into the revival together. And as we do this, the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.

But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you.

Acts 1:8, 14 NKJV

But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and  you shall be  witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and  Samaria, and to the  end of the earth.”  These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers.

******
Shalom and good Tuesday! Today, the Holy Spirit prepared something new. Its delicious, yummy and mouth watering. Come lets partake of it. Father bless Your Word. As we partake of it we pray that You will open up our heart to receive the power and all the nutrition that our spirit needs. In Jesus name, amen.

Next level... A Christian without the power of the Holy Spirit is a powerless Christian. Why we need power? It's funny though some times i think myself as "power rangers." The power of the Holy Spirit enables us to go further and deeper in the ministry. Without the power of the Holy Spirit, we are just useless. The power of the Holy Spirit is not only for pastors, evangelists, preachers and so on. It is available for every believer that hunger and thirst after it.

What the power of the Holy Spirit do? How it comes? The Power of the Holy Spirit and the Holy are inseparable. They are one coz they belongs to One. Without the Holy Spirit in us, we are not able to move in the Power of the Holy Spirit. And the power of the Holy Spirit are manifested through the gifts of the Spirit that produces the fruit of the Spirit. Holy Spirit comes when a person yearns for it, hunger and thirst for it. Not looking for selfish gain, to use it appropriately in ministry and life.

It comes like a rushing wind from heaven when the believers was in ONE ACCORD. And they were filled with the Holy Spirit. Jesus said that they may be ONE as We are ONE. When we are  ONE, His people are united, then we can see the power of the Holy Spirit being manifested and revival happens. Therefore in order to move to the NEXT LEVEL, we must be in ONE ACCORD and feel, experience, and being used by the Holy Spirit and move under the power of the Holy Spirit.

Do not be unbelieving, but believing.

John 20:27, 29 NKJV

Then He said to Thomas,  “Reach your finger here, and look at My hands; and  reach your hand here, and put it into My side. Do not be  unbelieving, but believing.”  Jesus said to him, “Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

******
Shalom.... Good Monday all!!! This morning God revealed one of the keypoints  to touch God. Father bless Your Word. As You revealed this truth, i pray that You may open up their spirit to believe and to receive from You, our spiritual supplements for today. In Jesus name, amen.

The secret of touching God is A BELIEVING HEART. When you believe with pure heart, you shall see God. Pure in heart, hmmm what does it means? Well it simply means a pure heart is a heart that established firmly on His Word and Truth.  A pure heart is the heart that worship, serves, and does the things of God in Spirit and in Truth.

Eventhough His disciples had witnessed all the miracles that God has done yet still there were a few with unbelief in their heart. We are called BLESSED because we believe though we haven't seen Him yet. To see God, do not use our intellectuals, but go with a pure heart and touch Him in Spirit and in Truth.

And immediately a rooster crowed.

John 18:27, 40 NKJV

Peter then denied again; and immediately a rooster crowed. Then they all cried again, saying, “Not this Man, but Barabbas!” Now Barabbas was a robber.

******
Shalom and blessed Sunday! This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it! The Holy Spirit taught me something new and has a deep meaning to the Word that i read today. Father bless Your Word. Let it bring us into a realization of the importance of having Jesus in our lives. In Jesus name, amen!

In order to move to the NEXT LEVEL - are we living a life thats denying Jesus? Which means, when we are surrounded with our friends, are we portraying Jesus through our lives, or we deny Jesus and pretend as though we do not know Him? NEXT LEVEL in our character and attitude. When Peter followed Jesus from far after He was captured, a servant girl recognizes Peter as a follower of Jesus, but Peter he was afraid that they may take his life as well and yeah he then denied of knowing Jesus. Sometimes when we are surrounded with our friends, and we know the things they do are wrong, yet we are afraid to stand up and say "hey it is wrong" instead we join and do it together. We have denied Jesus through our characters and attitudes.

Not only we deny Jesus through our characters and attitudes - we gave life to the devil and we have murdered the Life giver. Not this Man, but Barabbas! Now Barabbas was a robber. We allowed the devil to be freed and we sentenced life to death.

We must acknowledge Jesus in every ways of our lives. No matter what people has to say about you, the QUESTION is are you willing to STAND UP, STAND OUT AND SHINE FOR JESUS? Are we willing to honour Jesus through our attitudes and characters? Dare to be witnesses of Jesus. Dare to be followers of Jesus! Think different, be different. You dont have to be same like other people. You are created to honour God through our lives.

Sanctify them by Your truth.

John 17:15, 17 NKJV

I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but  that You should keep them from the evil one. Sanctify  them by Your truth. Your word is truth.

******
Shalom and blessed Saturday! This morning, the breakfast is  prepared deliciously for us. Father bless Your Word. As we partake of it, let it sanctifies us according to Your truth. In Jesus name, amen.

NEXT LEVEL requires a sanctification to be made. Sanctification means to be one with God. The bible says in

Joshua 3:5 NKJV

And Joshua said to the people, “Sanctify yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you.”

NEXT LEVEL happens when sanctification is involved. If we are expecting great and mighty things to happen in our future, we must sanctify ourselves with the Lord. Sanctification means intense concentration on God's point of view. It means every power of body, soul, and spirit chained and kept for God's purpose only.

The reason some of us have not entered into the experience of sanctification is that we we have not realized the meaning of sanctification from God's standpoint. Sanctification means being made ONE with Jesus so that the disposition that ruled Him will rule us.

Although we are in the world, but we are not same like the world. To be sanctified means to be separated fully for His purpose. Jesus prayed, Father keep them from evil. If we are One with Christ, sin has no dominian over our lives, because we have the resurrection power living within us.

How to be sanctified? Well again Jesus said, "Sanctify  them by Your truth. Your word is truth." The Word of God is the TRUTH that sets us free. Sanctification only happens when we realize the power and the truth of the Word of God! Jesus is the Word of God. Now, if you have an extremely intimate relationship with God, you will flee from the lust of the flesh and give in yourself to be sanctified by His Word.

Sanctification is needed inorder to progress to the NEXT LEVEL. Leaving and totally cutting off our fleshy desires and stepping in to the purpose and the call of God. Wonders, great and mighty things happens in ministry when we are willing to give ourselves into sanctification.

I am the way, the truth, and the life.

John 14:1, 6 NKJV

“Let  not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. Jesus said to him, “I am  the way,  the truth, and  the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

******
Shalom and good evening!!!! Have taken your dinner??? If not, then let us have together. Father bless Your Word. As we partake of it, let Your reveals the way, truth and life to us. Thank You Father. In Jesus name, amen.

Is your heart troubled today? Troubled by the things that you are going through? Troubled in the relationship that you are attached to right now? Or are you troubled in believing that Jesus is the only Way, the Truth and the Life?

We have a blessed assurance and a hope to live because He lives. Jesus went through everything that we are going through now and hey He said, Let  not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. I have overcome everything. The heart that believes in Jesus, not just believe, but firmly believes and not be shaken in faith, will be able to go through every situation because of the heart that believes firmly and strongly in Jesus.

Now a mystery of His word. Jesus did not say that He is the way to heaven. He said... He is the way to Father. No one comes to the Father except through Him. Jesus came to world not to show the way to heaven, but to show they to Father and to restore the intimate relationship between us and the Father. Many religion are concern abt going to heaven but is concerned more about our relationship with the Father to be restored 1st. Jesus did not come to world to bring a new religion but He came to world that we may have an intimate relationship with God the Father. Many people think that Jesus is the way to heaven... He is the way to the Father... He is the Life of the Fathe... He is the Truth of the Father. Therefore let us come to the Father through Jesus. If you have Jesus, you have gain the access to our Father.

Now the Son of Man is glorified, and God is glorified in Him.

John 13:31-32 NKJV

So, when he had gone out, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man is glorified, and  God is glorified in Him. If God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself, and  glorify Him immediately.

******
Shalom and good after. Have you taken your lunch? Food for your Spirit i mean. Father bless this Word and as we partake of Your word, we pray that Your glory will reside in us and shine through us. In Jesus name, amen.

Jesus said, "Now the Son of Man is glorified." Is our lives, ministry, character, attitude, etc, shining out His glory? Jesus said that Now the Son of Man is glorified.. Is because His conduct glorifies God. His ways glorified. His life that He lived glorified God. Jesus did not seek for His glory, but everything He did, he did it so that Father be glorified through Jesus.

Therefore, as we serve God and His people, let us make sure that we are not seeking fame, name and glory for ourselves. But in everything we do, let Him alone be glorified. When we bow before the Almighty God, He will lift us up. Servanthood begins with a humble heart.

::: NEXT LEVEL ::: Begins with humility in heart.

He poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet.

John 13:5-7, 12-14 NKJV

After that, He poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe  them  with the towel with which He was girded. Then He came to Simon Peter. And  Peter  said to Him, “Lord, are You washing my feet?” Jesus answered and said to him,  “What I am doing you  do not understand now, but you will know after this.” So when He had washed their feet, taken His garments, and sat down again, He said to them,  “Do you  know what I have done to you? You call Me Teacher and Lord, and you say well, for so I am. If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.

******
Shalom to all the blessed one of God. This morning again Holy Spirit is reminding us the basics of a ministry. Father bless Your word as we partake of it today. Let Your word teach us today of Your characters and Your ways. In Jesus name, amen!

He poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet. Jesus poured out the Living waters into the lives of His disciples. Are you willing to be poured out into the lives of others? Are you willing to spend and be spent; not seeking to be ministered unto, but to minister? Are you willing to be offered for the work of the faithful - to pour your life blood as libation on the sacrifice of the faith of others? If you are, then this Word is for you!

As I prepare myself to embark the journey to the NEXT LEVEL, Holy Spirit is teaching me personally not to forget the basics of ministry. In Embarking the NEXT LEVEL, it starts from the humility of our hearts. Jesus portrayed a great humility in this verse that we read.

One day, I was talking to my friend and were sharing some thoughts regarding The Faceless Generation Band. And he told me, the reason he was moved by the Holy Spirit to join TFGB is because this statement that he said- "serving God and His people means its not about us. A faceless servant. Which means, though people doesn't recognize us, but they see the fruits of the ministry and glorify God, that's the greatest achievement a servant of God can have." This is what he said. And i agree to it. People who Serving God just to get recognition, fame and a name does fit into the category of servanthood. No matter how great Jesus's ministry was, yet He remained humble to the end.

Why did Jesus washed the feets of His disciples? Because He is teaching them, no matter how high you progressed in the ministry, do remain humble as I am. Jesus showed an act of servanthood here. Why He has to change His clothes? He removed His clothes and girded a towel around Him. This is almost like a slave. And He washed their feets. Again its not about how great you are in the ministry, but its about how humble you are.

And Jesus said, "You call Me Teacher and Lord, and you say well, for so I am. If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet." Therefore let us serve one another in humility and love.

I am the resurrection and the life.

John 11:25-26, 40 NKJV

Jesus said to her, “I am  the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may  die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?” Jesus said to her,  “Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would  see the glory of God?”

******
Shalom and blessed morning! Come and awake oh my soul that i may believe in Him. Are you in a state of where you doubt and at the same time you believe? Father bless Your Word. Let Your Word give us strength, faith and courage for this day. In Jesus name, Amen.

Are you going through a difficult situation now? A defeated situation? A death situation? Are you being attacked by the devil from every corner? Are you spiritually feeling down? This is the word for you.

Jesus said, “I am  the resurrection and the life." The secret to overcome all this situations is by acknowledging the Resurrection power and putting the Resurrection power into practice. Resurrection means life and that life can only be found in Jesus. The Resurrection of Jesus defeated all the works of the devil. Therefore if you are going through this situations, apply the Resurrection power and you will see the situations be changed! Have a revelation of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ! He gives life and He gives it abundantly (John 10:10).

If only you would believe in Jesus with all your heart and put the resurrection power of Jesus into practice, then you will witness His glory. No matter how death the situations can be, the Resurrection power of Jesus Christ will bring life into everything. You will witness His manifested power as you react according to His ways.

Spiritually you are feeling down? Spiritually you are feeling dead? Numb? I speak the Resurrection power of Jesus Christ into your spirit now! Be awakened and come out of your tomb! In Jesus name!

I have experienced His glory! How about you? Even Jesus said to me " as long as i live, i will be witnessing His glory if i believe." I choose to be His vessel of Glory!

Do you believe in the Son of God?

John 9:35-37 NKJV

Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when He had found him, He said to him,  “Do you  believe in  the Son of  God?” He answered and said, “Who is He, Lord, that I may believe in Him?” And Jesus said to him, “You have both seen Him and  it is He who is talking with you.”

******
Shalom good afternoon. Let have lunch together. This word is a wake up call to every believer. Father bless Your Word. Let it pierce deep into out hearts dividing our spirit and soul. In Jesus name, amen.

Jesus heard that the blind man has been cast out by the pharisees and so called religious authorities. Yet Jesus went back to this blind man asking him, "Do you  believe in  the Son of  God?” People who stand right before God, and people who testify for God, most of them are being persecuted, some stoned, some even beheaded because they stand for what they believe in. Yet in the midst of the chaos, Jesus is asking us today "Do you  believe in  the Son of  God?” Do you believe the God that called you out of darkness into His marvelous light will just abandon you and see you being persecuted, being stoned, being accused of what you did not do? My God does not sleeps. He is widely awaken and is watching after us.

Are you willing to put all your trust- let me say it again - ARE YOU WILLING TO PUT YOUR 100% TRUST IN JESUS AND GO THROUGH THE SITUATION? It is not about Jesus's faith that healed the blind, the lame, the leper, the women with blood issues. It is our faith in Him that has made us whole. The 100% trust comes when we are totally crushed and broken from inside out then again a transformation begins from inside out. And the miracle happens.

In this case the blind man doesn't know who is the Son of God because he was blind. But then, the moment Jesus revealed Himself to the blind man, he begin to believe and accepted Jesus in His life.

You will witness miracles when you put your total trust in Him. Your faith has healed you.

You are His disciple, but we are Moses’ disciples.

John 9:28 NKJV

Then they reviled him and said, “You are His disciple, but we are Moses’ disciples.

******
Good morning people of God! Arise and shine! Grace and mercy from our Lord Jesus Christ to you. As i was reading this passage, God showed something that's really opened up my eyes as a follower of Jesus. Father, i pray that You will touch those who read this and Holy Spirit that You may pour out Your wisdom, knowledge and understanding so that we will be able to see the truth, understand the truth and allow the truth to set us free. Bless Your Word Father. In Jesus name, amen!

Whose disciple you choose to be? Jesus? Moses? As i was reading this, onething that He revealed was life and death. This pharisees, they had an argument with a blind man that got healed. Then they reviled him and said, “You are His disciple, but we are Moses’ disciples. Ok now, this blind man, his sin was forgiven, he received sight and he received Life. Now the pharisees, though they observed the law of Moses, yet they did do as what it is said.

Sin and death came in the world by one man, Adam. Life and Grace came through one Man, His name is Jesus. Jesus is the New Covenant of love, grace and mercy. We live no more under the law but by His grace. Even when pharisees accused the lady of prostitution, the one question Jesus asked was, "if any of without sin." The grace of God convicts us to repentance. And it is by grace we have been saved.

The church of God has to know this truth. The 10 commandments only brings death, but Jesus brings grace and life. Those who are bound to the 10 commandments are forced to live accordingly but there is no willingness to do with all their hearts. Those who are bound to the 10 commandments - if you do not obey then you cannot get to heaven. But the grace of God, whoever admits His sins before God, He is gracious enough to forgive us. Yet, the grace of God is not a licence to sin. As we live in His grace, it means, we are no longer subjected to sin but we have overcomed it by His grace. Sometimes we may feel at peace after or during committing sin, beware it is the lie of the devil and it is a fake sin. Even before we sin, the Holy Spirit reminds us by His Grace, do not commit sin, but we still do. Yet God is gracious. But there is a time limit for His grace. Do not let God to take His hand away from our lives, if it happens, then we are vulnerable to the attacks of the devil and easily fall into the trap of sin.

No one is ever united with Jesus Christ until he is willing to relinquish not sin only, but his whole way of looking at things. The Grace of God enables us to discipline our lives to enter into this closest relationship with Jesus. Unless and until we have the revelation or the Redemption of Christ, we may not understand what grace is and what Christ has done for us at the Cross.

The subject of grace is deep. I can go on talking about grace because i have experienced it. The grace of God doesn't puts a yoke at our neck but it surrounds us and constantly reminds of His love towards us.

I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness.

John 8:12, 32 NKJV

Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who  follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” And you shall know the  truth, and  the truth shall make you free.”

******
Good afternoon. Peace and blessings to you from above. Lets have brunch together. Father bless Your Word. Let it gives us strength for our Spirit as we walk and abide in You. In Jesus name, amen.

The Word says "He who  follows Me shall not walk in darkness." The Bible did not say that "if you follow Me, you will walk in darkness." It is us that chooses to walk in darkness. But, when God brings us through darkness, it means, be quick to listen, learn and obey the things that He reveals in the dark.

- Matthew 10:27 NKJV
“Whatever I tell you in the dark,  speak in the light; and what you hear in the ear, preach on the housetops.

- Psalm 105:28 NKJV
He sent darkness, and made  it  dark; And they did not rebel against His word.

When a person is going through the darkest hour of his life, God's light is shining upon him that he/she may not stumble and fall in the darkness, but listen, learn, obey and do the things that He has revealed in the dark to be made known in the light.

When you go through the darkest hour, close your ears to everyone that speak negatively and speaks against you or even accuse you of the things that you did not do. Instead be quite, listen what God is telling you, receive it, obey it and reveal it to the light. In the darkest hour, it is not time for us to rebel and to fight. But a time to be renew, refreshed, refilled and to rise again and fly like the eagle.

It is in the darkness that God reveals His divine purpose, revelation to us. We can choose either to do His will in the dark, or to be like the dark. Either to shine in the dark or to live in sin and committing sin. REMEMBER anything that is done in the dark will be revealed in the light.

And you shall know the  truth, and  the truth shall make you free. The truth that He reveals to us is the one that will set us free.

For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will...

John 6:38-39 NKJV

For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will,  but the will of Him who sent Me. This is the will of the Father who sent Me,  that of all He has given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day.

******
Shalom! Good morning! Today as i was reading this passage, one question came to my mind. On whose will am i standing and doing? I believe the Holy Spirit is reminding us today, whose will are we doing? Father bless Your Word let it constantly remind us of Your love and calling in our lives. In Jesus name, amen.

Our calling is not primarily to be holy men and women, but to be proclaimers of the Gospel of God. God sent Jesus to do the Fathers will. Yes indeed Jesus was 100% human and i believe that He too had His own dreams. Yet He choose to do the will of the Father. Am i doing His will? Am i trying to put my will above His will?

The moment God touched my life and saved me, it is no longer i that lived, but He through me. And if He is in me, then, i must live according to His move, guidance and to the way He orchestrate my life.

How many of us are willing to spend every ounce of nervous energy, of mental, moral and spiritual energy we have, just to do His will? Are you willing to be offered for the work of the faithful - to pour out your life blood as libations on the sacrifice of the faith of others? Are you willing to spend and be spent; not seeking to be ministered unto, but to minister? This is what Jesus did.

We are separated unto the Gospel. Only when we have the revelation of the redemption work of the Cross in our lives, then we will say Hineni Lord! Because of love, we will choose to do His will gladly.

The revelation of Jesus Christ in us.

John 5:17, 19, 22-23 NKJV

But Jesus answered them, “My Father has been working until now, and I have been working.”  Then Jesus answered and said to them,  “Most assuredly, I say to you,  the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner. For the Father judges no one, but  has committed all judgment to the Son, that all should honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.

******
Good morning. Selamat pagi. This morning i believe that the prepared breakfast for us will give us an insight of the reality of Jesus in us. Father bless this Word. Holy Spirit give us wisdom and understanding as we feed our spirit with Your precious Word. In Jesus name, amen.

The divine revelation of Jesus Christ. In this passage that i have read, i've found 3 divine characters of God. If we have Jesus in us, therefore whatever power and authority that Jesus possessed, we to have it.

The divine nature of Jesus. We should be like Him. Even till this very hour He is still working. He is still interceding for us. He is still working miracles in the lives of the people. As we prepare for the NEXT LEVEL, let us allow God to recreate in us the passion to do His will with eyes focused to Jesus. Never cease doing His Will and His work. We are to have the nature and the characteristics of God.

The divine powe of Jesus. The power that Jesus have, we have too. When we have accepted Jesus as our personal Saviour and Lord of our lives, therefore when Jesus said "all power and authorities have been given to Me" it mean if we have Jesus, we not just have Him as God in our lives but we have the power as well. As we prepare for the NEXT LEVEL, let us allow the Holy Spirit to establish the power of the name of Jesus in us and the power of the Holy Spirit in us.

The divine authority. The same authority Father has, Jesus has it too. With the same authority Jesus used to cast out demons, that same authority has been given to us. The authority of the name of Jesus and the blood of the Lamb.

Therefore let us allow God to transform us according to His likeness and nature as we prepare and take time to fast and pray for the next phase of our lives, ministry. Get to know Him more. And allow the revelation of the reality of Jesus be installed in our lives and spirit.

I who speak to you am He.

John 4:26 NKJV

Jesus said to her, “I who speak to you am He.”

Good afternoon. Im juz back from the Tent Of Meeting wit God. Wow, a revelation thats all needed, to step into the NEXT LEVEL. Father bless this Word. Give wisdom and understanding to us as we study Your word.

Do you really know who you are serving? Do you really know the Person of Jesus? A divine revelation of God, thats it and thats all we need. Take sometime to get to know Jesus.

The only reason we doubt whether is God capable or not is because we dont have the divine experience, divine revelation of Who Jesus id in our lives. If we have experienced that divine intimacy with Jesus, we will never ever doubt God.

As we take time to fast and pray, allow Jesus to reveal Himself to us. The reason Apostle Paul was so fervent in spirit is because that one encounter he had with Jesus at the road to Damascus. And his life was changed totally.

Where then do You get that living water?

John 4:10-11, 13-14 NKJV

Jesus answered and said to her, “If you knew the  gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you  living water.”  The woman said to Him, “Sir, You have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. Where then do You get that living water? Jesus answered and said to her,  “Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again,   but  whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him  will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.”

Gud morning friends. This morning, out of the blue moon, suddenly i felt so thirsty and that i must drink a glass of chilled water. And after drinking, as usual i reading this passage and it answered why that sudden thirst. Holy Spirit come and teach us, give us wisdom and understanding as we partake of the breakfast that you have for us. Father bless this Word and let it bring Life into our lives. In Jesus name, amen!!!

The only reason that we take time to fast and pray is to be refilled, renewed, refreshed, refocused, and received a new revelation from God so that we would know what to do next. Getting to the NEXT LEVEL, is all about coming to God and surrendering our lives totally and doing His will. When i was thirsty, i drank a glass of water, if our spirit is thirsty, come to God and He will give us the LIVING waters! If we know the gift of God... What gift? The gift of SALVATION. And Jesus asks give Me a drink means, give Me your life in exchange for My life. If you have My life, you have everything. Let Me live in you and you will experience the abundance of life.

You have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. Where then do You get that living water? Most of the time we reasoned God. The Bible and God Himself said "I am able" yet we always limit our expectation of God. God says "I have the solution" but we say "but God... You have nothing to draw with." Each of us thinks about Jesus in this way in some particular. This doubts about Jesus start from the amused questions put to us when we talk of our transaction with God. Or they start from ourselves when we tell Jesus that our case its a bit too hard for Him to handle.

The well is deep - and a great deal deeper than the Samaritan woman knew! Think of the depths of human nature, of human life, think of the depths of the "wells" in you. Suppose there is a well of fathomless trouble inside your heart, and Jesus comes and say - "Let not your heart be troubled"; And you shrug your shoulders and say, "But, Lord, the well is deep; You cannot draw up quietness and comfort out of it." No, He will bring them down from above. Jesus does not bring anything up from the wells of human nature. We limit God by saying, "of course I cannot expect God to do this thing." The reason this thing happens because we tend to forget the Almightiness of God because of our doubts. We look to Jesus as our Comforter and Sympathizer, but we will not come to Him as Almighty because of doubt. We are incomplete in one way or another, therefore the well of our incompleteness is deep, but make the effort and look away to Jesus. It can only be done if we look to Jesus alone as the Almighty God!

Stepping into the NEXT LEVEL with doubts in our hearts is a thing that we need to deal with. Do not limit God for the things that He can do in our lives. Let us allow His to purge out all the doubts as we take time in seeking Him. Lets surrender our lives totally to the Almighty God.

Fill the waterpots with water.

John 2:7-8 NKJV

Jesus said to them, “Fill the waterpots with water.” And they filled them up to the brim. And He said to them, “Draw some out now, and take it to the master of the feast.” And they took  it.

******
Praise the Lord! Are you hungry? Come lets eat lunch! The Holy Spirit taught me something that i did not really understand earlier. Father bless this Word, Teach and reveal to others as how you have revealed to me. Give us strength. Renew us. Revive us. Refill us. In Jesus name, amen.

Most of us always experience shortage of strength, power, wisdom and so on in the ministry as we serve. Our energy, strength, power being drained out from us. We tend to do things beyond our abilities and yet Jesus is telling to us today "Fill the waterpots with water."

We are like the waterpots. We tend to get empty. Emptiness is not good for our spiritual lives. Emptiness is capable or crippling us from moving forward. Emptiness weakens our spirit.

Jesus said "Fill the waterpots with water." The only place that we can be refilled, renewed, revived, refreshed and regain our strength and vision and refocus to Jesus, is at our secret place. The place where we meet God. The Tent of Meeting. We go to Him in emptiness, and He fills us to the brim! Hallelujah!

And when He had filled us, He uses us to do great and mighty works for the glory of His name! So friends, if you are feeling tired and spirituality drained out, you know what? ITS TIME FOR YOU TO GO TO YOU SECRET PLACE!

I send the Promise of My Father upon you...

Luke 24:49 NKJV

Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city  of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high.”

******
Today's breakfast is prepared by Holy Spirit, especially for us. Father bless this Word, and as we meditate upon this Word, we ask of Your truth be revealed and let to receive the power and strength to our spirit. In Jesus name, amen.

Obedience is the key to receive and to experience His promises. In this case, Jesus said "tarry in the city  of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high.” Inorder to go to the NEXT LEVEL, we must obey His commands. The word "tarry" mean to stay or to wait. Now, waiting time is not a wasted time. It is only through waiting in the presence of God that we receive power and strength, vision and focus, to the NEXT LEVEL.

Even as we go through a time of fasting and prayer, take time to wait upon the Lord and allow Him revive, refresh and renew our spirit, commitments, focus and vision.

The Bible says "But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew  their  strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint." "But you shall receive power  when the Holy Spirit has come upon you."

With the renewed Vision, Spirit and Strength, it enables us to be focused solely on Jesus and step into the NEXT LEVEL with all power and strength of the Holy Spirit.

Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.

Luke 23:34 NKJV

Then Jesus said,  “Father,  forgive them, for  they do not know what they do.”  And they divided His garments and cast lots.

******
Good afternoon. Today's lunch is from Luke 23:34. I learned this after i went to my secret place. Father bless this lunch. Let this Word search our hearts and help us to release forgiveness as an act of Love. In Jesus name, amen.

For Jesus to say this Word, it must come out from His heart out iof LOVE. Jesus, been through many persecution, being spite, beaten, mocked and He experienced the indescribable death. Yet, He chose to Forgive them all. Because of LOVE and because of LOVE. He forgave them...

Before Jesus can step into His glory, He must forgive those who have sinned against Him and moving forward to the NEXT LEVEL. Unforgiveness is a destructive spirit. It binds you and hinders you from moving forward. Roh ketidakmaafan boleh melilit dan melemaskan seseorang itu sehingga dia tidak terdaya utk bergerak maju.

Inorder to move to the NEXT LEVEL, we must identify any unforgiveness in us and release it out of love. Unforgiveness creates bitterness creates hatred equals to a cancerous spirit that cripples us spiritually and kill us eventually.

The root cause for strive amongst Christians is unforgiveness. From that small seed it grows and becomes a big tree. Many people ruined their health and lives by taking in the poison and feeding on bitterness, resentment, hatred and unforgiveness. Many people say, i can forgive but cannot forget. Forgiveness must come with action that is love. For love covers a multitude of sins.

How to forgive?
Many ways.
- Allow the Holy Spirit to search our hearts.
- Allow Him to bring life and love into that area.
- Allows Him to bring healing into that area.
- As you receive more love from God, the same amount of love must be put into action in forgiving a person.
- Finally, learn to love like Jesus, He is a good example of love. God is Love.

Pray that you may not enter into temptation.

Luke 22:32, 40, 46 NKJV

But  I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned to Me,  strengthen your brethren.”  When He came to the place, He said to them, “Pray that you may not enter into temptation.”  Then He said to them, “Why  do you sleep? Rise and pray, lest you enter into temptation.”

******
Praise The Lord! Good morning! How are you today? Today's breakfast is served with all love and prayer. The Holy Spirit continues to feed us daily as we yield ourselves to obey, to learn, to do, to listen as we prepare for the NEXT LEVEL. This is what i learned today. Father bless this breakfast from Luke 22:32, 40, 46. Let Your Word give us strength for our spirit and faith in You. In Jesus name, amen.

Do you know that Jesus is praying for us even before we commit a sin, or even before we do anything. We may forge to PRAY, but NOT Jesus. But  I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; in the midst of our daily work routine, or study routine, we may forget to PRAY but Jesus not. As we are alive and living, we will neve forget to do our daily activities. But sometimes we forget to take care of our spirit. Our spirit needs nourishment as our body. Dia berdoa supaya kita insaf dan berbalik pada Dia dan memperkuatkan sesama kita dgn apa yg telah kita lewati. Kita berdoa supaya kita tidak jatuh dlm pencobaan dan roh kita menjd makin kuat serta peka kpd Tuhan..

We pray because when we do the spiritual thing, God will perform the supernatural thing.
Praying is :
1) To bring us closer to God. Bersekutu selalu dengan Tuhan. It will make us to realize our calling and also grow in intimacy with God.
2) So that our faith may not be easily shaken as we put our hope and trust in Him and go through all trials and testings.
3) To feed our Spirit so that we will have a healthy Spirit. And our Spirit continues to grow and take root in Him as we pray. The more we pray, the stronger our Spirit is.
4) Prayer keeps us away from temptations. Since we are praying, therefore the Holy Spirit will continually watch and guards our hearts and warn us from falling into temptations.

Sometimes, we are so tired and hv no time to pray. The reason we are tired because our Spirit is exhausted. We work from 8 till 12 hours per day, busy with work, and go back home tired. Physically we are tired because we neglect the spiritual thing which is Praying. Disaat kita berdoa biarpun secara fizikal kita merasa penat, tetapi Roh kita akan menjadi kuat dan physically we are refreshed, renewed and revived. That is the POWER of prayer! Let us PRAY... You may not know what to pray, but as we obey Him and pray, Holy Spirit will intercede on our behalf. And no one understands the utterances of the Spirit. We can only get the supernatural things done when we do the spiritual things. PRAY. Therefore, i encourage everyone that reads this, LET US BE NOT WEARY IN PRAYING, but LET US CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR IT IS THE ENERGY AND STRENGTH FOR OUR SPIRIT.

God of the living.

Luke 20:38 NKJV

For He is not the God of the dead but of the living, for  all live to Him.”

******
Hallelujah! Praise the Lord! Dear friends, we have reason to celebrate the Lord. Lets come into His house with thanksgiving in our hearts.  This is what i understood from the Holy Spirit!

As i mentioned just now, we have a reason to rejoice and celebrate the Lord! For He is alive and He lives forever more! Dia adalah Tuhan yang hidup! Bukan Tuhan kepada yg mati, tetapi Tuhan kepada yg hidup. Kenapa yg mati tidak mengenal dan mengaku bahawa Dialah Tuhan dan Juruselamat? Kerana mereka sdh mati secara rohani dan tidak dpt mengenal yg mana satu kebenaran dan tipu muslihat iblis.

Tuhan adalah Tuhan kepada yg hidup kerana roh yg hidup mengenal siapa itu Tuhan dan mengaku bahawa He is God and Savior! Ia bukan Allah orang mati, melainkan Allah orang hidup, sebab di hadapan Dia semua orang hidup."

And that's why we have a reason to believe, to put all our trust, to put our hope and also to celebrate our God and Savior because He lives and we can face tomorrow, there is a hope for living just because He lives!

Lord teach us to pray...

Luke 11:1 NKJV

Now it came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased,  that  one of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.”

******
Today's lunch is provided by the Holy Spirit from this passage. Come let us eat together.

What i learned from this passage is about leadership. Now days people are finding answers for questions such as how to be a great leader... Or how to lead and so on. From this passage i will point out 2 of other requirements that a person needs to know before even he can lead. Some can be a born leader. Some learn through experience. Some copy others.

To be a true Christian Leader is
1. A godly leader.
2. A learning leader.

A godly leader. What is it? Whether you are a church leader or youth leader or cell group leader, 1st you must have a godly life. A godly leader builds a godly characters and have a godly actions. A leader must have a prayerful and prayerfilled life. Jesus is a good example. Even before He starts to do anything, He seeks the counsel of God the Father. And Jesus portrayed and excellent leadership example. A leader dats willing to lay down His owb life. Meaning to say, a leader that willing to go through the problems that a follower is having and together finds a solution and settled it. A leader must be spiritually strong. Jesus, He spend most if His time fasting and praying. Being constantly refresh and refilled.

A learning leader. A learning leader adalah seorang yg selalu maju dalam kepimpinannya. Kenapa? Well its simply because he has a heart to learn new things. Sepertimana murid Yesus berkata, "Lord teach us to pray." Mungkin mereka sudah tau caranya utk berdoa, tetapi mungkin tidak mantap. Dan mereka meminta Yesus utk mengajar mrk. We may think the way we lead people is right, but it may be also wrong. A learning leader learns from mistake and do something about it to improve the leadership skills.

A leader must not be drained of his capability and knowledge. Inorder to make sure he/she is always up-to-date, be a praying leader - coz you receive your vision from God and the Holy Spirit constantly renews and refill you to achieve the vision and to mobilize and to encourage the group that you lead to catch the vision and run with the vision. And also to learn from one another. A leader must have a heart to leqrn and receive ideas and suggestion from the followers as well. This is what i say a "Functional Leadership." Able to input and to output.

Today Salvation has come

Luke 19:5, 9-10 NKJV

And when Jesus came to the place, He looked up and saw him, and said to him,  “Zacchaeus,  make haste and come down, for today I must stay at your house.”  And Jesus said to him,  “Today salvation has come to this house, because  he also is  a son of Abraham;   for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.”

******
Good n blessed morning. Today our breakfast is from Luke 19:5, 9-10. A breakfast that will makes our spirit to continually hunger and thirst for Him. I was hungry this morning and Holy Spirit taught me and fed me this Word. Father, bless this breakfast for my Spirit. Let it bring life and strength to my spirit. In Jesus name. Amen!

It is written that Jesus looked up, at the tree top and called Zacchaeus down. What makes Jesus to call him down. What did Zacchaeus do that attracted the attention of Jesus? Well, Zakius dia adalah pemungut cukai, dan pada masa itu memang pemungut cukai tidak disukai oleh ramai. Tetapi disini Yesus berkata, hari ini saya mau tinggal dirumahmu. Wow... Jika kita mempunyai hati seperti Zakius ini, an earnest heart. A heart that's earnestly seeking The Kingdom of God and His righteousness, we too can have His visitation. Zakius dia sedar bhw dia seorang yg berdosa namun, dgn ketulusan hatinya dia mencari Kerajaan Tuhan, dan Kerajaan Tuhan mulai memerintah atas kehidupannya. Earnestly, with all our heart, seek the Kingdom of God, and the King Himself will come with His Kingdom and be established in out hearts and lives.

Apa akan terjadi disaat kita mencari kerajaanNya? Well, and Jesus said to him,  “Today salvation has come to this house," Salvation will come into your heart, lives, family work and so on. Praise The Lord! Sanctification will take place. Now sanctification is not as what we understand. Sanctification or pengudusan means being made one with Jesus so that the disposition that ruled Him, will rule us. Amen! The moment Zacchaeus seeks Jesus, it caught His attention because Zacchaeus was seeking Jesus with all his heart. And the presence of Jesus sanctified him to be one like Jesus. Jesus sanctified us to be like Him for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.

What do you want Me to do for you?

Luke 18:41-42 NKJV

saying, “What do you want Me to do for you?” He said, “Lord, that I may receive my sight.” Then Jesus said to him,  “Receive your sight;  your faith has made you well.”

******
Praise the Lord for a wonderful lunch set or maybe late lunch. This is what i learned from blind Bartimeus. A few characters that the Holy Spirit points out from the life of Bartimeus. Father bless this Word and let it give strength to our Spirit. In Jesus name, amen!

- Dia adalah seorang yang buta Seorang yang berinisiatif .His weaknesses did not stop him from getting close to Jesus.

- Seorang yang tidak mudah mengalah. Biarpun ramai orang yg menghalangi dia, tetapi dia paksakan dirinya dan berseru sekuat hatinya until he gets the attention of Jesus.

- Seorang yang mau bergerak mencapai Tuhan Seorang yang mau dijamah oleh Tuhan. Kecatatanya tidak melumpuhkan Roh yg ada didalamnya.

- Seorang yang meninggalkan cara hidupnya yg lama dan masuk kedalam cara hidup yang baru.

Yesus tertarik dengan kepribadiannya. Yesus sedar akan Rohnya yang berbeda –Bilangan 14:24, Joshua 14:12. He was not like the other beggars. He was different in Spirit. And Jesus recognizes it. And He asked “What do you want Me to do for you?”  What do want God to do for you? Do have a different Spirit like Caleb? Maukah engkau sembuh? Miliki karakter yang membuat Tuhan kagum dgn kita.

Let God fight for You....

Luke 18:7-8 NKJV

And  shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them? I tell you  that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?”

******
A message for a correct timing. Thanks Jesus. Something wonderful, a blessed assurance. Come lets have breakfast. Holy Spirit provides our breakfast from Luke 18:7-8. Lets eat together. Father thank You for this Spiritual food, bless this Word. Let it bring life into us. In Jesus name, Amen.

Biar mcmna pun kamu tertindas, ditikam dari blkg, difitnah, being persecuted, being blamed, always remember that vengeance belongs to the Lord. Commit whatever matter you are going through into the hands of God and let Him deal with it. And  shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him?

God the Father is our only help in good and bad situations. Like King David, whenever he is in distressed situation, he runs to God in prayer. He prays until God answers Him. At times of trouble, hold on to God and never let Him go or else you will began to give in to the schemes of the devil and loose Faith in battling in pray. Each battle, each problem, each attacks of the devil is just making me stronger.

Those who hv a strong faith in God are the ones that will remain faithful till the end. Stand strong stand firm. Let the vindication begins. Biar Tuhan yg membela melindung dan menaungi kita.

Got LIFE?

Luke 16:22 NKJV

So it was that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels to  Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died and was buried.

******
Its still early for lunch. Time now is 11:15am. My lunch is Luke 16:22. Lets feed our spirit. Thank You Holy Spirit for teaching me and providing lunch for me. Bless the Word and as i eat the Word, let it bring life into my Spirit. Amen.

What i have learned from this passage is two words - carried by the angels and was buried. I ask God why the poor carried away and the rich was buried.

And He answered, though the begger, a poor man, but he was rich in spirit. And lived a God fearing life. He had LIFE in him and thats why he was carried away the moment his body died.

The rich man with all richest he had, he neglected LIFE, he was spiritually dead, therefore the moment he died, he was buried.

Thats why there is a scripture in the Bible says,"better for a camel to go through the needles hole than a rich man going to heaven." People want to be rich but neglects the life Giver. They think money can buy anything, yes but No. Money can't buy salvation for you. It happens when a person repents wholeheartedly.

Both rich and poor can go to heaven if they have LIFE in them. If they have JESUS in them. We receive His blessings and know His word, but do we know Him?

Let the vindication begins

Luke 16:15 NKJV

And He said to them,  “You are those who  justify yourselves  before men, but  God knows your hearts. For what is highly esteemed among men is an abomination in the sight of God.

******
I received this fresh food for my Spirit from the Holy Spirit.

Let the vindication begin. When something goes wrong, we try to justify it and will do anything to prove that we are right. Thats human nature.

God knows your HEART. He knows every bit of it. And, He knows whether you are right or wrong. We may trying to prove ourselves right before man, but God says let Me handle this.

When God defends you, the chances of winning is 100%. When human defends you, the chances of winning may be 50 - 50%. Let the vindication begins.....
