Be a faithful servant.

1 Corinthians 4:1-2 NKJV

Let a man so consider us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God. Moreover it is required in stewards that one be found faithful.

******
Shalom! Its tremendous Thursday! Wow i believe, God has a surprise prepared for you today! Remain faithful to what He have asked of you to do. Let us pray. Father bless Your word. As we partake of Your power giving word, we pray that You will help us to remain faithful till the end. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

You and i are the chosen and the called of God. Unto us is revealed the mysteries of God. Therefore let man consider us as the servant of God for we are being the bridge between them and God and between God and them. The doors of a servants heart who wants to be His way. Let it be through us, You pour out Your power and and revival. Got has entrusted to us His mysteries. Let us bring His people to know Him and to make Him known.

Finally brethren, remain faithful to what you have been called to do. Do not despise the little things but be diligent and faithful in doing it.

No eye has seen.

1 Corinthians 2:5, 9-10 NKJV

that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,  Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” But God has revealed  them  to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.

******
Shalom. Good morning. Its wonderful Wednesday! Get ready for the wonderful things which God have prepared for you and i today. There is a surprise coming your way today, a good one. Let us pray. Father bless Your word. As we partake of it, let our faith grow as we acknowledge Your power which is at work in our lives now. In Jesus name, we ask and pray. Amen!

Your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. Our faith is not built upon humans wisdom, not by humans words, not by how they explain the Bible, but by His power. Not by my might and power but by His Spirit. Faith grows when we experience the power of God in our lives. Let God turn your prayers into reality. The power of God is at work the moment your start praying about your situations around you, about your financial problems, and etc. Prayer activates faith to see the power of God being unleashed.

Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,  Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him. Faith enables us to see what our eye has not seen. Faith enables us to hear the good news which our ears has not heard. Faith enables us to conceive the things of God in our hearts even before it is birth. For the unbelievers, they may not see because they don't believe. They may not hear because their spiritual ears are not open. And things are not conceived in their hearts because the land is dry and hard.

But for us, God has revealed  them  to us through His Spirit. And thats why we can firmly stand on the solid Rock and believe. Paul said, "i speak therefore i see." He speak by faith and he see it happening. He speak it in spiritual realm and he see it happens in reality. We do the spiritual thing and God performs the supernatural thing.

A little testimony which i would like to share with you. As you know, The Faceless Generation Band (TFGB), was birth from the seed which God planted in my heart. I have not seen, have not heard and have not conceived. Yet, the moment the name was released to me, i took hold of it. Prayerfully and with much effort, i bring it before God. And He revealed to me what this TFGB is all about and what is the calling of TFGB and how it will function. I still remember a few years ago, a servant of God prophesied, and he said "be ready brother God is giving you a band." It did not happen in one day. It took many years and few months back another servant he released the name of the band to me. I grab of it, and now, it came to past. Now God is the Orchestrator of this TFGB. And He revealed the path which this TFGB will be heading. Next year, 2013, wow... All i can say indeed He is good! I just want to thank God for His masterplan for TFGB.

Now, you too can experience this. For God has revealed  them  to us through His Spirit. Therefore as you pray and praise in spirit, God will reveal it to you.

It is the Power of God.

1 Corinthians 1:18 NKJV

For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

******
Shalom. Grace to you and peace from our Lord Jesus Christ. It's tremendous Tuesday! Well how was your weekend? Have you listened to the life transforming message? Come let us pray. Father, bless Your word. As we partake of Your word, let Your power being demonstrated in our lives through the Cross. In Jesus name we ask and pray. Amen.

You know, the world will never comprehend the things of God even salvation. The power of God is demonstrated at the Cross, when Jesus said "it is finished." It means every demonic activities and power has been nullified and broken. We who are saved are the living witness of this power. The power of God which is at work in our lives now.

The world may not comprehend what God can do. But for us who are being saved, it is an opportunity for God to unleash His plans and purposes and power through our lives. Two things happened at the Cross. The demonstration of His love towards us and The demonstration of His power. We accept Jesus as our Lord and Saviour because of the work of Love which He demonstrated at the Cross. And as we are being saved, the power of God is demonstrated through our lives so that the world would see the transformaning power of the Cross is at work in our lives and through our lives.

That's why the Bible says when we are in Christ, we are new creations. The power of God is able to create a new spirit in us and live according to His ways. Being knitted and wovened into His perfect plans and purposes. We are not some modified version, but a new creations! The power of God is at work now!

Who are you to judge another’s servant?

Romans 14:4, 10, 13 NKJV

Who are you to judge another’s servant? To his own master he stands or falls. Indeed, he will be made to stand, for God is able to make him stand. But why do you judge your brother? Or why do you show contempt for your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. Therefore let us not judge one another anymore, but rather resolve this, not to put a stumbling block or a cause to fall in our brother’s way.

******
Shalom! It's Superb Saturday! How are you'll doing? Im recovering. Today, God is teaching us something from this verse. Lets pray. Father, bless Your word. Let Your word teach us not to judge or complaint against one another but to love and receive one another. In Jesus name, amen.

Who are we to judge one another? We are His servants and as a servant, we do not judge one another but love and receive and encourage one another. A servant, whether he stands or falls, it is up to the Master to judge, not us. Whether he does wrong, or does good, God will judge. God stands and enables the servant to stand as well.

Let us not judge one another and becomes a stumbling block for his/her growth in Christ. But let us love and receive. Let us not complaint or gossip, for what we sow is what we will reap. By complaining and gossiping about a person does not make us to be a perfect human. We are all in the same boat, therefore let us love, pray, encourage and receive one another.

Jesus did not complaint, but He love, pray, encourage and receive the disciples that God gave Him.

Wednesday, November 21, 2012

For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things.

Romans 11:29, 36 NKJV

For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be glory forever. Amen.

******
Shalom. It's wonderful Wednesday! Oh who knows what surprise God had for us today? Give thanks to God for everything that He has given to us. Because everything is from Him, for Him and by Him. Let us pray. Father in the name of Jesus, we pray that You bless this word. As we partake of it, let us be grateful for the things that You have gave us. Let us use it to glorify and magnify You name. In Jesus name, amen!

God does not give and take back what ever He has given to us. Sometimes, people do ask me, "last time i was able to do this and that bur now i cant. May God taken back what He gave me." I answer them back,"it is not God who takes back everything that He gave us, but the devil. The comes to steal, kill and destroy. Our calling and the gifts which God gaves is irrevocable. It means God, once He give, there is no taking back. The question now is, what are we doing with the gifts and the calling? If we are not doing anything about it, well the devil comes and commence his mission.

For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things. Our lives, calling, gifts, ministry and everything is from Him, for Him and by Him. Therefore use it wisely in bringing glory to His name.

Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Romans 10:17 NKJV

So then faith  comes  by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

******
Shalom. Happy Thrilling Tuesday! How are you going to or how did you start your Tuesday? If you've started the day by hearing the word of God, i believe, you shall prosper. Let us pray. Father bless Your word. As we read it and hear it, let it gives faith to believe and trust You for the unseen things. In Jesus name, amen.

What do you want to see happen in your lives? What or how do you want your 2013 be? The method is simple. For  “whoever calls  on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” The action that comes out from a believing heart. Faith comes from hearing the Word of God and Faith grows when we put into practice what we have heard. Whoever "calls", the word calls is an action of confessions. When you confess the right word of God into you future, your situations, your problems, you will see the desires of your heart is unleashed according to His will ans purposes.

When we do the spiritual things, God will perform the supernatural things.

For this very purpose...

Romans 9:17 NKJV

... “For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I may show My power in you, and that My name may be declared in all the earth.”

******
Shalom! Its marvelous Monday! Have you been asking God, what is the reason you are here? What is the purpose of my life? The answer can only be found in Jesus. Come, let us pray. Father, bless Your Word. As we partake of it, let us understand the divine calling and purpose that You have designed for us. In Jesus name, amen.

Have you been asking God, what is the reason you are here? What is the purpose of my life? The answer can only be found in Jesus. The Bible says, in Colossians 3:3 NKJV For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. If you are searching for the meaning of your life well then you have to find Jesus 1st. Why? Because our lives are hidden in Him. Therefore we must seek God 1st, seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness. Then you will understand the purpose and the will of God for your lives.

The only reason we are here is that He may show His power in you, and that His name may be declared in all the earth.

But according to the Spirit.

Romans 8:1 NKJV

There is  therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

******
Shalom.. It's superb Saturday!!! How are you all? Wow i had a wonderful extraordinary Friday nite.. Praising and worshipping God!! Wow!!! Friends are you feeling condemned, rejected, or people saying things about you? Come lets pray. Father bless Your word. Teach us not to walk in the flesh, but in the spirit. In Jesus name, amen!

Again, friends, are you being condemned? Are you feeling condemned? Are being rejected? Are you feeling rejected? Well then, this word is for you. People who walks not is the Spirit, will always feel this and go through this because it is the flesh thats ruling their lives. When we live according to the Spirit, we will not have place for condemnation. Spirit brings life and not death.

When a fellow believer condemns you, beware he/she is not walking in the Spirit but flesh! When flesh controls out lives, there comes destruction and death.

Spirit gives us spiritual power to be manifested in the natural realm.. Spirit empowers us to live abundantly in Christ Jesus. Spirit enables us to experience the extraordinary communion with God. Therefore let us live in the Spirit and eliminate the fleshy desires.

But we also glory in tribulations.

Romans 5:3-4 NKJV

And not only  that,  but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope.

******
Shalom. It's Thursday! Come on celebrate with me! Celebrate what? Well celebrate Jesus! He is the hope for our living! Let us pray. Father, we pray that as we partake of Your word this morning, give us a persevering heart, a character and renew our hope and trust in You Lord. In Jesus name, amen.

We also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance. Wow.. This is the 1st time i hear this. No matter how hard the trials and tribulations that you go through, do not lose heart. Yet train yourself to give thanks in and through the tribulations. The tribulations, the testings, everything that I've gone through my life, did not crippled me but it made me to grow stronger and healthier in the Lord and in the Spirit. The devil by all means will try to bring me down but he doesn't know that i am not that easy to be attacked, because God is with me. Therefore i glory in tribulations because i know no matter how hard my situation is God, He is there always there for me.

Tribulation produces perseverance. This is true. Tribulation produces perseverance in two ways. Either persevere to win or persevere to give up. In my case, i choose to win. To reach to the finishing line and to attain the winning prize. We persevere in and through hardship and the result is extraordinary miracles from God. In tribulations, you can choose to win or give up. Make the right choice. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

Perseverance produces character; and character, hope. Through perseverance, a persons character is moulded. A character that will never say "i give up" even before stepping in to the war. A bold character that takes the challenge to make a difference. Serving God is about taking the challenge to make a difference in someone's life. Bold faith results in bold action. Character builds hope in us. That we may put all our hope and trust in God as we go through tribulations. If we do not put our 100% hope and trust in God, no matter how hard we try to come out of the tribulations, we will fail. Christ in us is the hope for glory.

... And calls those things which do not exist as though they did.

Romans 4:17, 20-21 NKJV

... and calls those things which do not exist as though they did; He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform.

******
Shalom. Happy Wonderful Wednesday! Hows your day? I believe if you have confessed and spoke rightly of the living Word of God, you would have a wonderful Wednesday! Let us pray. Father bless Your word. As we partake of Your word, teach us to daily speak forth Your living promise as walk and serve You our Master, Adonai. In Jesus name  amen!

Friends, i was relieved when i read this portion of the Scripture. It says "and calls those things which do not exist as though they did." As a believer of Christ, we must firmly hold on to the promises that God has spoken to us. Daily speak the promises, speak out the healings, speak out His powerful Word, speak out the things that you to ser happen in you life according to God's will and purposes- as though they exist. This is radical faith!

Let us not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but be strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully convinced that what He had promised He is able to perform. God is able to do what He had promised if we choose to believe. If we keep on whining upon the things that is not happening, it's because of unbelief in us. If we still haven't receive your healing, well stop whining, start to praise! Confess and claim His promises! Remember, IT IS YOUR FAITH THAT HEALS YOU.

For all have sinned.

Romans 3:23-24 NKJV

for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,

******
Shalom. Greetings! Wonderful Wednesday! Exciting Wednesday it is. Let us pray. Father bless Your word. As we partake of Your word, let us have a revelation of the redemption that took place at the Cross. In Jesus name. Amen

The only way for to shine His glory on us is, live a righteous life. Sin separates us from His glory. Light cannot be mix with darkness. It is a deep topic, i pray to God that i dont share it wrong. Every little sin - white sin, black sin- is still a sin! Being yoked with unbelievers in a relationship, is a sin. Telling lies its a sin. Adultery is a sin.

Jesus Christ travailed in the redemption to redeem the whole world, and place it unimpaired and rehabilitated before the throne of God.

The 10 commandments brings death to us. Because if we sin, there must have a blood sacrifice to clean the sins. But the Grace of God through Jesus Christ brings live for everyone who confess their sins and believes in Him. It was and is the Grace of God through Jesus Christ, that's saved us and not our good deeds and works.

Separated to the gospel of God.

Romans 1:1-2, 16-17 NKJV

Paul, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, called  to be  an apostle, separated to the gospel of God which He promised before through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures, For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written,  “The just shall live by faith.”

******
Shalom. Happy Tuesday! Thrilling Tuesday! Hows your day? Let us receive what the Lord has for us today. Father bless Your word as we partake of it. Bit by bit, word by word, helo us to understand and help us to live it out. In Jesus name, amen.

Do you know that you're called  to be a follower of Christ, separated to the gospel of God which He promised before through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures? Yes! God selected Each and everyone of us specifically with much fearfully and wonderfully crafting our future in His palms. Each one of us has a calling being placed in our lives through the Holy Scriptures. You have been chosen specifically for a certain task. Different person with different giftings to complete the whole structure of the body of Christ and the ministry. Have you discovered your calling?

You and i are called to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ for the gospel of Christ  is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes. The revelation of the Cross is the power of God to salvation. No matter what, the work of the Cross must be preached to every human beings. Why? Because the work of the Cross frees every human beings from bondage, slavery to sin, pain, sicknesses, addictions and the Power of God brings healing, restoration, freedom, chains broken, breakthrough and victory!!!

And the righteousness of God is restored to every human beings that believes in Jesus as they live from faith to faith. One level to the NEXT LEVEL. Oh glory to God! Hallelujah!

What is forbidding us from doing the works of the Lord?

Acts 28:30-31 NKJV

Then Paul dwelt two whole years in his own rented house, and received all who came to him, preaching the kingdom of God and teaching the things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ with all confidence, no one forbidding him.

******
Shalom! Happy Monday! How's you day as for now? Well you know, no matter how your day is, no matter what kind of situations you are going through, the works of the Lord must progress. Lets pray. Father bless Your Word. As we partake of Your living Word, let it give us the strength to carry out the works, not because of being forced, but because of love. In Jesus name, amen.

What is forbidding us from doing the works of the Lord? Paul, he stayed in his rented house for 2 years and received all who came to him, preaching the kingdom of God and teaching the things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ with all confidence, no one forbidding him. Even he was house prisoned, nothing stopped him from doing the works of God. His determination to preach the gospel, his attitude of not giving is to reasons, his radical actions that produces much fruits. Friends, we must learn something from Paul. I tell you, the persecution, the hardship, the things that are happening now is nothing compared to the days of apostles. When we go through little hardship, we began to waiver. Sometimes i even think whether does the church of God have a clear revelation of what is goinh to happen and what is happening now.

The lack of seriousness in ministry will take us no far. The lack of responsibility will just shattered the trust that God placed in us. The lack of ferventness in spirit will just hold us back and when the second coming of the Lord, the people in this category will be the left overs. Some people just going to church just to warm the seats and never take part in any other activities of the church. Youths especially, it is hard to get their engines start and to bring them to youth fellowships and so on. Are we living in the Word of God? If yes then where is the fruit? Some people go to church because there is a pretty girl or a handsome boy, they will tend to do anything, follow every meetings just to impress him/her and to get into a relationship with him/her. This is wrong! Dead wrong! They are just living what they want and not what God wants.

Paul, he can choose not to go through the difficulties, - being shipwrecked, beaten, prosecuted, persecuted, - yet he choose to do so because he realized of what Jesus did for Him at the Cross of Calvary. Unless we have a revelation of what Jesus has done for us at the Cross, we will continue to live this life just anyhow. No seriousness, just be church seat warmers.

Paul was an ordinary human like us, but what makes him different to us? His heart of servant. Many people want to get into ministry, many want to get into the frontline of the the ministry team, but when asked to come for prayer meeting, or whatever meetings during the weekdays, we find reasons to give. There is no involvement, no sacrifice. For us, we want to do what we want and the ministry comes second. When ministry becomes a burden to us, it is better to consider back whether to do or not to do the ministry. Ministry is not a burdensome thing. Ministry is done through love and out of love. Not with a burdened heart. Paul did not consider the ministry as a burdensome thing. Yet he does it with all his heart with all reverence and love to God and to His people.

There is a song, " if Jesus comes again, will He find faith on earth? What are doing while we are living? Is there faith in our hearts?" Where are we now in doin the things of God? Hineni. Hetoimos.

Religion sets rules. Jesus sets free!

Acts 26:5-6, 15-18 NKJV

They knew me from the first, if they were willing to testify, that according to the strictest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee. And now I stand and am judged for the hope of the promise made by God to our fathers. So I said, ‘Who are You, Lord?’ And He said,  ‘I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.   But rise and stand on your feet; for I have appeared to you for this purpose,  to make you a minister and a witness both of the things which you have seen and of the things which I will yet reveal to you.   I will  deliver you from the Jewish people, as well as from the Gentiles,  to whom I  now send you,   to open their eyes, in order  to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God,  that they may receive forgiveness of sins and  an inheritance among those who are  sanctified  by faith in Me.’

******
Shalom! It is Sunday! And jesue is the reason we celebrate today!! What did God spoke to you today? Let us pray. Father bless Your Word. Let it a paradigm shift take place today. A conversion from old to new. In Jesus name, amen!

You know, we need a paradigm shift as well. The conversion from old to the new. Unless and until we become a new creation, we may not understand fully why God saved us, changed us, touched us. Paul the moment Jesus encountered him, his life was totally changed from there on. From persecuting to preaching! From a Pharisee to a believer and follower of Christ. A drastic change and shift.

And as we allow God to change us, little by little He reveals His ultimate plans and purposes for our lives. When God becomes the Director of our lives, as He directs each steps, He too reveals the plans and purposes of our lives. You can see here, what happened when Paul was converted. Paul did not convert to another "religion" but he converted from his old ways to the new. The conversion from unbelieve to believe. A conversion of the purpose of living. A conversion of Faith.

Paul was bound to religion. But Jesus sets him free. Religion sets rules. Jesus sets free! Have you been converted from old to the new? Have you fully understood the reason and purpose that you have been saved? Now is the time for you to allow God to encounter you.

The God of our fathers has chosen you.

Acts 22:14-15 NKJV

Then he said, ‘The God of our fathers has chosen you that you should know His will, and see the Just One, and hear the voice of His mouth. For you will be His witness to all men of what you have seen and heard.

******
Blessed Saturday! I thank God for today! What's your plans for today? Had your breakfast? What was the 1st thing you did after waking up this morning? If you choose to study His Word, well that's a good thing. Come, let us pray. Father bless Your word. And as we partake of it, help us to know Your will and purposes for our lives. In Jesus name i pray, amen.

The God of our fathers has chosen you... Aren't you glad that God has chosen you to carry out His plans and His wills? Well i don't know about you, but i am thrilled, excited for this great opportunity given to me! I can say that i am the worst of the worst. Chief of all sinners, yet He has chosen me! It is a privilege to serve God and never once I've regretted. Living for God, doing His will, carrying out His plans and serving His is the best thing ever a person can have in his/her lifetime.

Paul, he came to a point in life where he decided no longer i'm gonna look back, but will look forward and to press on towards the ultimate goal and purposes of his life. No, it doesn't mean that you can't have what you want. But if we choose to do His will 1st, then every other things will be given to us accordingly.

For you will be His witness to all men of what you have seen and heard.

That I may finish my race.

Acts 20:24 NKJV

But none of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.

******
Good Friday afternoon! How is your day as for now? Had your lunch? Let us meditate on the word of God. Father give us revelation as we read and meditate on Your word now. In Jesus name, amen!

What is the most important thing that you want have or achieve in your lifetime? Here we see clearly that Paul was a 100% man. That means, what ever he do, he does it 100%. He does it with all his heart. Be it persecuting the churches or preaching Jesus. His only aim after the encounter with Jesus is to live for Him and to die is gain. His only joy is to finish the race. To preach Christ to all nations. It was his lifeblood. He was a radical and bold person.

How did this happened to Paul? Well, the ENCOUNTER he had with Jesus on the way to Damascus. That one encounter changed his life, purpose, thinking, - became a new creation and radically preached Christ.

As we step into the NEXT LEVEL, let us ask ourselves, what is the primary purpose and priority of our lives. Do we have a character like Paul? Where do we see ourselves in doing the ministry which we received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God. What is the condition of our hearts?

That one encounter we need, if you aren't sure of the answer for the question above. Oh that one encounter! Let Him encounter you with His fresh fire once again!

Now the Lord spoke to Paul.

Acts 18:9-10 NKJV

Now the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision,  “Do not be afraid, but speak, and do not keep silent;   for I am with you, and no one will attack you to hurt you; for I have many people in this city.”

******
Shalom! Thank God it's Friday! Good Friday morning! This morning, as i was reading this passage, the Holy Spirit showed me somethings from this passage. So are you ready to receive the Word with all readiness? Father, bless Your word. And as we partake of it, we pray that You will give us a heart of obedience and a heart of determination to do Your works. In Jesus name, amen!

Now the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision. Paul, from the beginning of his encounter with Jesus until the very end of his life, every steps he taken in the ministry was directed by God. Even the smallest thing also, God directed each steps. Everything that he did, was by God and without God he wasn't able to function.

Getting into the NEXT LEVEL is about allowing ourselves to be led by God in every steps of our lives. We may have faith, we may be filled with the Holy Spirit - this is good, but without God guiding our lives, we will not be able to go anywhere.

When God directs, He knows the best for us.

ENCOUNTER2012 Fresh Fire Worship Concert.


That they received the word with all readiness.

Acts 17:11 NKJV

These were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily  to find out  whether these things were so.

******
Shalom. Greetings and blessings in the name of Jesus. It's Thursday! How are you this morning? Is your heart on a standby mode? To move whenever God speaks? Lets pray. Father bless Your word. Speak to our hearts this morning. Let it be on a standby mode so that it will be sensitive to Your words and move as You speak. In Jesus name, amen.

Are you ready? A heart that's ready, will take in the Word and live on the Word. Sometimes we wonder why we haven't received any miracles, blessings from God. The answer is, are we ready to experience it? The word says " that they received the word with all readiness,". For us to receive a miracle, we have to be ready and be prepared.

Be ready when God speaks. Be ready to move when He moves. Be ready to receive when He gives. Be ready to tap into His presence when He pours out His presence. Just be ready for you do not know the hour of the coming of God!

Be ready to witness Jesus to anyone that God brings along the path that you walk. You may not know when God will use you, or how he will use you, just be ready.

Is your heart ready to receive a miracle, blessing or even a surprise from God today? Be ready to expect the unexpected things from God.

The foundations of the prison were shaken.

Acts 16:26 NKJV

Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone’s chains were loosed.

******
Good Wednesday afternoon. How are you all? Come, let us partake of His delicious word. Father bless Your word. Let shake our hearts that it may be opened to You totally. In Jesus name amen!

Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken. It took a great earthquake to shake the foundations of the prison. Is your heart is being  imprisoned? Are you feeling that you are not able to move due to the things that the devil has bound you with? Now is the time to be released from the prison. The presence of God can shake any strong prisons and foundations of the prisons. There is no any stone which hard for God to break. His presence penetrates deep into every hearts, joints and marrows.

Immediately all the doors were opened and everyone’s chains were loosed. As God pours out His extraordinary presence, all the prisons doors will be opened and every bond is released! Nothing can withhold the power of God! Hallelujah! His gentle presence can touch you today and shake every prisons foundation that had imprisoned your heart and set you free. Do you want to be free? Pray and Praise! That is the secret. Thats all.

Prayerless life is a praiseless life is a powerless preaching.

Acts 16:23, 25 NKJV

And when they had laid many stripes on them, they threw  them  into prison, commanding the jailer to keep them securely. But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.

******
Shalom. Greetings and good Wednesday morning! Did you slept well last night? Now arise and shine. It's time to bring prayer and praise before God. Father bless Your word. Let Your word gives an insight meaning of prayer and praise and the power that beholds it. In Jesus name, amen.

Prayerless life is a praiseless life is a powerless preaching. Again, here Paul shows a good example of a disciple of Jesus. After being captured, beaten and thrown into the prison, He still choose to lift up his voice in prayer and praise. At this point of time, after all he had gone through, well he can choose to relax in the prison, rest, get medication and so on. But he chooses to pray and praise. And that's the reason his preaching releases the extraordinary power of God.

The secret of Breaking through the chains n suffocation is praise and prayer. The prisoners were listening to Paul and silas as they continued praising and praying. Not only their chains were broken, but the other prisoners as well. Praise and prayer not only frees you and gives you the power to breakthrough, but also people around you... Will feel it.

Prayer and praise has the power to bring breakthrough into whatever situations that we are going through and it brings forth Faith into us to see far more than our eyes can see and believe what our mind can't take in.

Prayer and Praise unleashes the extraordinary power of God. Are you going through somekind of situation in your life today? Well now is the time to start to pray and praise.

God, who knows the heart..

Acts 15:8-9 NKJV

So God, who knows the heart, acknowledged them by giving them the Holy Spirit, just as  He did  to us, and made no distinction between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.

******
Good Tuesday afternoon. Let us partake of the Word of God. Father bless Your word, as we partake of it  i pray Father, that the Holy Spirit will search throughout our hearts and purify our hearts. In Jesus name, amen.

God knows what is going through, in and out of our hearts. What is in our hearts today? Nothing is hidden from God. All the hurts, pain, secret sin, struggles, joy, feelings, emotions - He knows everything! Because He created us and knew us even before we were formed in our mother's womb.

King David prayed this prayer is Psalm 139:23-24 NKJV Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties; And see if  there is any  wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting. Our heart must be transparent before God.

Holy Spirit purifies our heart by faith. No matter how red is our sin, once the Holy Spirit take hold of our hearts totally, He cleanses all sin from our hearts, every wickedness, anxiety, hurts, and lead us in the way everlasting.

For a fallen to be risen again, his/her heart must be right before God. Therefore get our hearts right before again, and rise up and soar like tge eagle!

The rise of the fallen.

Acts 14:19-20, 22 NKJV

Then Jews from Antioch and Iconium came there; and having persuaded the multitudes, they stoned Paul  and  dragged  him  out of the city, supposing him to be dead. However, when the disciples gathered around him, he rose up and went into the city. And the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe. strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting  them  to continue in the faith, and  saying,  “We must through many tribulations enter the kingdom of God.”

******
Greetings and blessings from God above. Today, our breakfast is served from this Word. Fallen and Risen. Father bless Your word. As we partake of it, Lord let i be to us according to promises and purposes to revive and establish us once again. In Jesus name, Amen!

A person who falls and not able to rise up is a person who chooses to be in that situation, is a person who doesn't have the will-power to rise up and fight again, is a person who allows the devil to manipulate, lie, deceived, crippled him/her.

They stoned Paul  and  dragged  him  out of the city, supposing him to be dead. However, when the disciples gathered around him, he rose up and went into the city. Recently, i had a talk with a youth and he was telling me his dissatisfaction in the ministry and he wanted to take a break. I told him, a ministry that has no trials, hindrances and disappointment is not a fruitful ministry and every believer will go through this pruning process. Look at this great example that Paul showed. Though people came against him, stoned him and dragged him out of the city, however, he rose up and went again into the city. The people of the city are the problem that he has to face, they were against him yet he rose up and went into the city again to face the hindrances, the problems, the dissatisfaction and the hurts.

And the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe. strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them  to continue in the faith, and  saying, “We must through many tribulations enter the kingdom of God.” Paul wasn't shaken by the situation that he experienced yet the next morning, after entering the city he stayed there one night. He boldly face whatever problems, hindrances and penetrates through all odds and obstacles and the next day he went to another city strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting  them  to continue in the faith, and  saying, “We must through many tribulations enter the kingdom of God.” Wow!!! It's like nothing has happened to him!!! Instead of recovering of from the injuries, he went and strengthens the rest of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in faith!!! Hallelujah! Arise and shine friends!

Paul says in 1 Corinthians 10:13 NKJV - No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God  is  faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear  it.

And Jesus said, "be of good courage for i have overcome the world."

Have different spirit in you. Only people with this different spirit will do crazy and extraordinary things for God no matter how and what the situation is. Jesus Never give up on you, so you to do not give up!

We must through many tribulations enter the kingdom of God.

Then Paul and Barnabas grew bold.

Acts 13:46-47 NKJV

Then Paul and Barnabas grew bold..... For so the Lord has commanded us: ‘I have set you as a light to the Gentiles, That you should be for salvation to the ends of the earth.’

******
Greetings and blessings from God. Thank God it is monday. This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad. It's lunch time now, so let us feed our spirit. Father bless Your word. As we partake of Your word, let Your word give us boldness in the spirit and be the light of salvation in this earth. In Jesus name, amen.

Then Paul and Barnabas grew bold..... NEXT LEVEL is about stepping into the plans and purposes of God with boldness. Without boldness, no one can do His will. Boldness as in having a bold faith, bold spirit, bold action, bold preaching. God cannot work together with a coward. It doesn't mean that He dont like them. Cowards are the one who when they face a problem in ministry or work, they began to fallback. God likes to work together with those who are bold because He can trust them with anything and He knows that they will do it no matter what the cost.

For so the Lord has commanded us: ‘I have set you as a light to the Gentiles, That you should be for salvation to the ends of the earth.’ The spirit of boldness will enable us to be that light to this world. Jesus said, "you are salt and the light of the world." To do the will of God, we must have boldness. God has appointed us to be the light, and to proclaim salvation to the ends of the earth. The word "proclaim" means to speak out. If a person is not bold and brave, how can he/she speak out the things of God and be used by God? How to be bold? Some are bold and some being made bold. When the Spirit of the Lord is within us, boldness it activated automatically. Cowards has the Spirit of God, but what makes them to remain as how they're is DOUBT AND FEAR OF REJECTION and it disables them from st standing up, stepping out and shinning for Jesus.

Proverbs 30:30 NKJV
A lion,  which is  mighty among beasts And does not turn away from any;

Arise and shine, mighty men of valor!

Fresh Fire let it fall.

Acts 11:24 NKJV

...full of the Holy Spirit and of faith...

1 Kings 18:38 NKJV

Then the fire of the Lord fell and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood and the stones and the dust, and it licked up the water that  was  in the trench.

******
Shalom and blessed Sunday morning! I am so glad that i God encountered me during our youth service. I was longing for a fresh fire and fresh anointing. Let us pray, Father, bless Your word. As we partake of Your word, let Your fresh fire fall and consume us. Fill us with new anointing as we prepare for the NEXT LEVEL. In Jesus name, amen.

Stepping into the NEXT LEVEL without our spritual preparation means we will be vulnerable to every attacks of devil. As we take this time to prepare ourselves, let us therefore be full of the Holy Spirit and of faith.

Being filled with the fullness of the Holy Spirit and of faith will allow us to break through every walls, every attacks of the devil.

Fresh fire let it fall! Let it not just consumed the burnt sacrifice, as well as the wood and the stones and the dust, and it licked up the water that  was  in the trench. Only a fresh fire from God can perform this. Fire not just burn the offerings, but the stones - a stumbling block in our lives, the dust - the thing that blocks our vision or God and our call, and the water - the thing that makes drowned and not able swim to attain the things of God. Only a fresh fire can do this. Are you in a spiritual state such as this? Now is the time to acquire a FRESH FIRE so that with the fullness of the Holy Spirit and of faith, the Fresh Fire of God will consume us and keep us going no matter what happens! Fresh fire let fall! Fresh anointing let it fall!!! In Jesus name!

When God encounters.

Acts 9:3-6, 15-16 NKJV

As he journeyed he came near Damascus, and suddenly a light shone around him from heaven. Then he fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?” And he said, “Who are You, Lord?” Then the Lord said,  “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. It is hard for you to kick against the goads.”  So he, trembling and astonished, said, “Lord, what do You want me to do?” Then the Lord  said  to him,  “Arise and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.” But the Lord said to him, “Go, for  he is a chosen vessel of Mine to bear My name before Gentiles,  kings, and the  children  of Israel. For  I will show him how many things he must suffer for My name’s sake.”

******
Shalom! Blessed Saturday morning! Do you want something fresh from the oven? Oh yes! As i was reading this passage, i said, "Lord, i want something fresh." And He did not give, but He reveals to me. Father, reveal to us Your word today. What it takes to be a true and obedient disciple and bless Your word as we partake of it. In Jesus name, amen!

What it takes to be a true and obedient disciple of Jesus Christ? The answer is : THAT ONE ENCOUNTER OF GOD! Oh yes! That one encounter of God can change your life totally. In this passage that we read, it tells us of an incident of how Jesus encountered Saul. I believe that Saul wasn't prepared for this surprise visit!!!

NEXT LEVEL, is about allowing God to encounter us and changing us totally. Saul, after experiencing that encounter, his life, his ways, his everything was changed totally. Saul a.k.a Paul, he was actively involved in persecuting the churches. He was a well trained man in the laws of Moses. And after Jesus encountered him, the only purpose of his life is to live for God and nothing else matters.

Even Jesus told Annanias, "Go, for  he is a chosen vessel of Mine to bear My name before Gentiles,  kings, and the  children  of Israel. For  I will show him how many things he must suffer for My name’s sake.” Saul is the reason today why we have known the Lord Jesus Christ! It is he who traveled to Asia and preached the Gospel. At first Paul did not understand it, but as the Lord prepared him during that 3 days of prayer, Saul was ready to do His will.

Oh that one encounter of God can change our lives today! When Jesus encountered Paul, he was converted from persecuting Jesus to PREACHING JESUS!

God chooses Saul, to replace Stephen. And Jesus said, "For  I will show him how many things he must suffer for My name’s sake." I believe, after the encounter, Paul preached Jesus with all joy and gladness in his heart.

There is more than what can explain here. The only thing that He spoke to me was "allow Me to encounter you today." Hallelujah! I want a fresh fire! Have you allowed God to encounter you today?

Your money perish with you.

Acts 8:20 NKJV

But Peter said to him, “Your money perish with you, because you thought that the gift of God could be purchased with money!

******
Shalom and good Friday afternoon. Holy Spirit revealed to me an insight of this verse. Father bless Your word. As we study Your word, help us to see beyond what we see and understand our gifting. In Jesus name  amen.

It's not us who choose God, but He chooses us. Therefore He has all the rights to equip us with the gifting which He wants to use to work through us. We can't bribe God and ask for this gifting and that gifting  You may desire it, but it is He who gives it.

:::NEXT LEVEL::: is about moving with the gifts that God had given to us. The more you move, the greater the power you'll experience. For example, if God had called you to pray for the sick, so what are you waiting for? You have to start somewhere! Don't wait for thunder and lightning from heaven comes, then you want to move. Use what you have. Don't wait to be told to do so. Practice your faith.

As believers, we ought to recognize the gifting that's in our lives and use it to glorify God. God did not messed up when He created you. Therefore He knows what we are capable of doing and He give the right gifts to everyone accordingly. Have you recognize your calling and your gift? Seek God today and let Him reveal it to you.

Get out of your country and from your relatives.

Acts 7:3 NKJV

and said to him,  ‘Get out of your country and from your relatives, and come to a land that I will show you.’

******
Shalom and good Friday morning. Thank God its Friday!!! So what's your plan for this weekend? Mine as usual. Come let us enjoy our breakfast this morning. Father bless Your word. As we partake of Your word, help us to continually separate ourselves from the things of the world, and focused on our calling and do Your will. In Jesus name, amen.

Get out of your country and from your relatives. Whoaa! Is God asking us to cut every connections between us and our family members? Not really. It actually means that, He is asking us to separate ourselves from the things of the world, from the things that hinder us in doing His will. The calling which God placed upon Abraham, almost the same as mine. He asked me to leave behind everything which might be a stumbling block and hindrances for the calling which He has called me to. Leaving my family in Northern state, driving down to Southern state, just to fulfil the calling He placed in my life.

He has chosen us to do His will and He separates us from everything which could be a hindrance from doing the will of God.

1 Peter 2:9 NKJV
But you  are  a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;

And come to a land that I will show you. When God has chosen and separated, then God reveals His plans for our calling. NEXT LEVEL is about separating ourselves from the worldly things and remained focused to the calling and doing His will. When God says GO... I obeyed and knowing not what i will be doing here. But when i have arrived at Johor Bahru, then He revealed to me and explained my calling and His will and purpose for my life. I am the chosen one! I am separated. Have a different spirit in you.

Give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word.

Acts 6:4

but we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word.”

******
Shalom and again good Thursday afternoon. Hows your 1st day November? Well i am excited! How about you? Ok then, let us partake of His word this afternoon. Father bless Your Word and as we partake of this portion of this Word, Holy Spirit please give us wisdom, knowledge and understanding of Your Word. In Jesus name, amen.

I just came back from my secret place. Going to the NEXT LEVEL is all about preparing ourselves prayerfully and studying of His Word and sharing of His word.

A brief of prayer. Prayer is a two way communication with God. Prayer edifices the Spirit and strengthen us from inside out. When you are weak, it's time to PRAY. A prayerless Christian is a powerless Christian. If your living a boring life - no miracles, no testimonies, no excitement- well there is something seriuosly wrong. Either we are not praying and not reading the Word or both. As i mentioned just now about secret place. It is at the secret place, God reveals and teaches us. God does not tell you what He is going to do; He reveals to you Who He is. This only happens through prayer.

As we pray, take time to meditate His word and whatever God reveals to us, whatever God teaches us, let us share it to one another, encouraging the brethren.

Therefore let us get connected to God through prayer - not one day 5 times, but all the time pray in the Spirit. And let us not neglect His life changing Word.

For if this plan or this work is of men, it will come to nothing.

Acts 5:38-39 NKJV
And now I say to you, keep away from these men and let them alone; for if this plan or this work is of men, it will come to nothing; but if it is of God, you cannot overthrow it—lest you even be found to fight against God.”

******

Shalom and good Thursday morning!!! Hey its the 1st day of November!!! Aren't you excited? Come on! You Better be excited, because The Lord your God has extraordinary plans for you throughout this month! I am excited! Coz i know my Lord shall not fail me! He has some thrilling plans for me this month!!! Wow! Alright then, had your breakfast? Let us pray! Father, bless Your Word. Let not our plans, but only your plans succeed and prosper our lives as our soul prospers in You. In Jesus name, amen!

Friends, please make sure that you are in the right track which God has laid down for you. Make sure we are walking and talking of the plans of God for our lives. A prosperous life is a life which is in line with His plans and purposes. The verse which we read just now, Gamaliel said that, "for if this plan or this work is of men, it will come to nothing;" Stepping into the NEXT LEVEL with our own motives, plans, and our own directions will actually fail us in the latter days to come. If you are taking time to seek God for His plans and directions for the NEXT LEVEL if your lives, and when He reveals it, write it down, claim it, and see it come to pass.

Seriuosly, if i am not in the right track - the plans and the purposes and the directions which God has willed and laid for me, i don't think so that i would be at the level where i am now. It took obedience to bow and bind myself to His will, plans, purposes and directions. I have my own dreams, plans and so on, but why i choosed to do His will? Simply because His plans are perfectly perfect! And when i surrender my will, my plans, my purpose of living into His hands, He says, "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope." My plans may bring me hope and a better future but it is only a short-term gain. When i choose to do His plans, His will and move in the directions which He has laid for me, i don't just prosper but i will gain life and life more abundantly. The eternal gain.

And again Gamaliel says, "but if it is of God, you cannot overthrow it—lest you even be found to fight against God.” When you do the plans of God, people will for sure come against you, but hey remember, they're actually against the God which gave you the plan! No devil can stop you from executing His plans. You are chosen to execute His plans and wills. Therefore step in boldly and do it. Oh, i've been through it and i am not writing some fairy tale story here. It is my life experience with God. How people persecuted me and so on. All those which i have gone through, did not make me weak, but it made me stronger and stronger!

So yeah it's all about doing His will and doing it rightly. Have a blessed November!
