"Be Deligent"

2011-07-01T08:55:00.000+08:00

Word of the day "Be Deligent"

I would like to kiss this note (Keep It Short and Sweet)

What diligent means?

dil·i·gent Adjective /ˈdiləjənt/
Synonyms:adjective: industrious, assiduous, sedulous, studious, painstaking, hard-working, laborious
Having or showing care and conscientiousness in one's work or duties
many caves are located only after a diligent search

So since you have already understood what diligent means... now I would like to point a few scriptures that talks about diligent....

1. In Proverbs 10:4 He who has a slack hand becomes poor, But the hand of the diligent makes rich.
- What it means? well it simply means If i am a lazy bump and lazy to work, lazy to study, lazy to do anything, want to be as lazy as the pig.... so what happens? as a result I will end up poor - lack of food, lack of money, lack of everything, bad shape (may be even stinky - coz never take bath). But the same verse says.... hand of the DILIGENT makes rich - rich $$$$$??? Rich in sense of Good health, got food to eat, got $$$, totally blessed and so on... Which means i must work hard... i must do sumthing to earn $$$, stay in good health. God loves lazy people...but God will NEVER work wit a lazy person.... people who are lazy will be totaly left out from the move of God....

2. In Proverbs 12:24 The hand of the diligent will rule, But the lazy man will be put to forced labor.
- Look at that verse.... i hope you can understand its context. Juz now we saw the hand of diligent makes rich, now the hand of diligent will RULE! It means if i am diligent in every task or work given to me and i do it on time... for sure my boss will love me and like me...coz i finish all my jobs on time, and did not procastinate. And yeah for sure.... promotion is a door step away... from a normal general worker, i will promoted to be a supervisor.... ;) Halleluyah..and yeah if only i am diligent to do my work.....

And Finally.... i have to prove my diligency..... if i am diligent...and so i have to prove it in order to progress in career.... my life... my ministry and so on... in this case..my promotion comes from God ;) as i serve diligently, and prove to God my diligency.... my reward is from God...He will reward me according to what i have done.... ;)

And we have sent with them our brother whom we have often proved diligent in many things, but now much more diligent, because of the great confidence which we have in you. 2 Corinthians 8:22

I choose to be diligent....and to prove my diligency... what about you??

GBU....

In Christ,

AMBASSADOR

2011-07-01T08:50:00.004+08:00

Word of the day is 'AMBASSADORS'

Meaning : An accredited diplomat sent by a country as its official representative to a foreign country.

"Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ's behalf, be reconciled to God." (2 Corinthians 5:20)

The Bible says we are the ambassadors of Christ Jesus. An ambassador is an accredited diplomat sent by his country as its official representative to a foreign country.

An Ambassadors duty is to deliver a message, or to be the spokesmen on behalf of their country or the industry they are involved in.

We are the ambassadors of the Kingdom of God and God has chosen us and placed us here on earth that through us, God can do His work. Through us, people are saved and be reconciled to God once again. We are here to be God's spokesmen, to be His messenger that would go into the world and complete our great commission Matthew 28:18-20. We are His chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light - That we may declare - that Jesus is Lord and Savior of our lives!

The Bible says in Matthew 5:13-14 "You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men. "You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. If is the one who chooses you to be HIS ambassador, so then you are to be HIS salt and light to the world. Be the salt to peoples life; adding in flavour into their lives. And be the vessel of light, that through you the glory of God may shine into people’s life.

As I always say, our ultimate calling as follower of Christ is to be a soul winner. No matter in what ministry you are involved in, make sure the one motive of you ministries is to impart love and impact lives, to touch lives and transform communities.

I am glad that God has chosen me to be His glorified and royal ambassador. I choose to be His ambassador, what about You?

God Bless You

In Christ,

"DOMINION"

2011-07-01T08:47:00.002+08:00

Word of the day is "DOMINION".

Psalms 8:6 You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet,

In the book of Genesis, chapter 1 and verse 26, let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth. God created the human race by giving us all the power that we need in order to go through our lives until Jesus comes back again!

When He says dominion it simply means to have POWER, to have AUTHORITY and to RULE or REIGN!

Many at times we as a child of God forget His promises. When we are in deep trouble we become an “ambulance” with the red siren on our head running here and there to seek for help and prayer. When we are in situations that we can’t comprehend or understand, or problem, we run to Pastors to seek for prayers.

The Bible says that God had given us the authority over all things and living creatures and also to reign over all things and living creatures.

In Matthew 28:18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. When i was reading this passage of this chapter, God opened my eyes and gave me a deep revelation in regard to this verse. Let me explain a little more. We are either Christians since birth or we are born again Christians. The moment we say Yes to Jesus and invite Him into our lives, He is abiding in us, and we are in Him. So when Jesus said to His disciples, “All authority has been given to Me” which means all authority, power, sovereignty has been given to Jesus. And since we have accepted Jesus in our lives, it means the same authority, power, dominion and sovereignty that Jesus has, we also have it! Why? Because Jesus is living in us as well as His authority, power, dominion and sovereignty. Hallelujah!!!

So why we are transforming into an “ambulance” (we are called to transform lives and not to be transformed into ambulance hehehe) when we know that a greater power is in work within usEphesians 3:20 according to the power that works in us,.

The power that I am talking about is the power of the Holy Spirit.

John 16:7-14 He sends His counsellor, His Spirit of truth,

Acts 1:8 But you will receive POWER (Hallelujah!) when the Holy Spirit comes upon you.

Without Holy Spirit we are useless. We need Holy Spirit power to do His work, if not we can’t see any signs and wonders following the preaching and the sharing of His word. If we have Holy Spirit in us, we have the power, authority, dominion and sovereignty. It’s a MUST to have Holy Spirit living in you! If you don’t have, pray and ask God to pour out His Spirit upon you!

I choose to be His people of power! What about You?

God Bless You!

In Christ,

LOAD

2011-01-25T11:30:00.002+08:00

Word of the day is “L.O.A.D”

Mark 7:14 Again Jesus called the crowd to him and said, "Listen to me, everyone, and understand this.

Genesis 27:8 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to what I command you.

Proverbs 23:12 Apply your heart to instruction, And your ears to words of knowledge.

Revelation 22:14 Blessed are those who do His commandments,

Are You fully LOADed?

As I was praying in my morning devotion, God asked me am I fully LOADed? I was wondering what it means... well He said that I have to Listen, Obey, Apply, Do everything that comes out from HIS mouth.

LISTEN what?

We must learn to listen to His voice.

OBEY what?

Obey to all the commands that He has spoken and laid.

APPLY what?

We have to apply what we have listened and obeyed. Apply it to our life as we walk together with Him daily.

DO what?

We ought to be the doers of His word, not just listen but to do what He says.

I think this explains much.

I choose to be fully L.O.A.Ded. How about you?

God Bless You!

In Christ,

SECRET

2011-01-21T11:33:00.002+08:00

Word of the day is “SECRET”.

Meaning: Something that is not properly understood; a mystery.

Psalms 139:15 My frame was not hidden from You, when I was made in secret, And skilfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

Today, I am not going to share about secret. Yeah the word of the day is indeed secret, but it is not about the secret that i am going to share. I am going to talk about “SECRET PLACE.” Yes, secret place.

Why secret place?

It is in that secret YOU and I was created. Psalms 139:15 ..... when i was made in secret...

It is in that secret place God creates a leader.

It is in that secret place; God renews our strength, faith, spirit and a renewed vision.

In 1 Kings 17:1-7 talks about Elijah. As we read this passage, we might think it’s just a normal story of Elijah. Today as I was reading Psalms 139:15, I asked the Lord, what the word of the day is. And He said, SECRET! In doubt n confusion, I ask Him again and yeah again He said SECRET. I said, God You must be joking this morning. Why You must be secretive with me? Then again I asked, and He said to me the word for today is “SECRET.” I was like what??? Hahaha. And i knew that He was telling me about my SECRET PLACE. Why your secret place is is important? I will explain to you in just a bit.

As we read about Elijah in 1 Kings 17:1-7, in verse 3 God told Elijah to Get away from here and turn eastward, and hide by the Brook Cherith, which flows into the Jordan. Now if we look at the map of Israel, Brook of Cherith is situated, far far away from Jordan. For me it was like a normal story, but as Holy Spirit opens my eyes to see what the hidden meaning behind this passage is, well I was astonished by what God showed me.

Elijah was a man like all of us (James 5:17-18). But He has character that caught Gods eyes. He is a prayerful and prayer filled man. Brook of Cherith is actually our secret place. God is calling us back to our secret place. He is reminding us about our prayer life. It is in that secret place God unleashed all that He has planned for us.

A Leader is made in the quality time we spend with God. Jesus said “But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward youMatthew 6:6. The quality time that we spend with God will shape our personal live to able to lead.

In 1 Kings 17:7-8, sometime later the brook dried up because there had been no rain in the land. A leader is made from nothingness to become something. In our emptiness before God, in our brokenness before God, He does miracles. It is in the breaking of breads that brought forth miracles. As we take time to go to our secret place and spend a quality time with God the Father, we go before Him emptying our self and in brokenness, God will do a miracle! Hallelujah!

Do not forget the calling that God has placed in your life. God reveals the plans for your life in the secret place. Do not forget what you are called to do!

I choose to go to my secret place and let God the Father to refresh, to renew, to recreate, to remould, me according to His plans and His purposes....how about you?

Psalms 91:1 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

God Bless You!

SEE

2011-01-18T11:27:00.005+08:00

Word of the day is “SEE”

Revelation 22:4 They shall see....

What does seeing means?

- Seeing is when you are looking at something.

The bible is teaching us to see what God has prepared for us. Seeing is not believing but Believing is seeing. Though we can’t see what God has actually planned for us, yet we believe. Apostle Paul says, “He believe therefore he speaks” same goes to us, We believe therefore we see.

To see the things that God has prepared for us, we got to have faith in God! Without faith it is impossible to see what God has prepared for us now and for our future.

In Matthew 9:27-31, a story of 2 blind men – Jesus healed them. In order for them to see again, they have to believe that Jesus can heal them. In verse 28 And Jesus said to them, "Do you believe that I am able to do this?" The 2 blind men had to believe 1st then they will be able to see. Same goes to us, we have to believe in God, that God is able to do anything for with Him nothing is impossible. If we dare to believe, we will see the fruits of our belief.

If we want to see what God has prepared for us, we must :

1. Believe (Matthew 9:28 & Mark 5:36)

2. Speak out His word (Promises) (Isaiah 55:11)

3. Practise His Word (James 1:22)

4. Be faithful to God (Proverbs 28:20)

5. Obey Him (Deuteronomy 27:10)

6. See (Revelation 22:4 – They shall SEE)

I want to see what god has prepared for me..so I choose to believe in His word...to speak out His word...to do what His word says...to be faithful to Him and to obey Him and i will See what He has prepared for me! I choose to see in faith...what about you?

God Bless You!

COURAGEOUS

2011-01-14T10:21:00.002+08:00

Word of the day is "COURAGEOUS".

What is COURAGEOUS?

According to Oxford Dictionary:

cou·ra·geous Adjective /kəˈrājəs/

Synonyms:

adjective: brave, bold, valiant, plucky, gallant, hardy, manful, daring, valorous, mettlesome, doughty, audacious, game, spirited, stout, mettled, high-spirited, spunky, manly

Not deterred by danger or pain; brave.

2 Chronicles 32:7 Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged...

Are you courageous? The chances are that you will answer, "Not always. At least, not as courageous as I want to be". But do you know what courage really is? Has it ever occurred to you that to be deeply and thoroughly converted you have to be deeply and thoroughly courageous?

Courage is the opposite of fear — it is acting against fear.

Former U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt once said that "all we have to fear is fear itself". But how can you stop being fearful? How can you get rid of your fears, unless you replace them with something positive, worthwhile and more powerful?

A courageous person does what God wants him to do — regardless of the consequences. As a nation, we need more courage. As individuals we need more courage. In our families, we need more courage. And as a Church, we need more courage!

You are CHOSEN to be COURAGEOUS and CONTAGIOUS believer of God!

Joshua 1:9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged.

The Bible says in the book of 2 Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. When I was asking the Lord this morning what is the word that You have for me today? He said “You areCHOSEN to be COURAGEOUS and CONTAGIOUS servant of God”. For my surprise, the Lord did spoke to me about “CHOSEN” yesterday, but He did not reveal to me the rest of it. And during my morning devotion time, I sought the Lord, and He gave me the complete word. God did not give us the spirit of fear. It wasn’t born with us, but we picked it up along the way. We experience many things in our lives until a certain point in our lives, we fear of what is going to happen if we take the next step. You got to BE BOLD, BE STRONG and BE RADICAL.

The prophets of old were men of courage. When God told Joshua to begin the battle to enter the Promised Land. He commanded, "Be strong and of a good courage'' (Josh 1:6).

In New Testament age, the Apostle Paul's life was one of courage, faith and perseverance. It took tremendous courage for him to turn away from what he had previously believed was right. The change, in his case, was very difficult.

Do not be a “crowd follower”. Do not just follow where ever the crowd goes and whatever the crowd does. You must be courageous or bold to STAND UP, STAND OUT, and SHINE FOR JESUS. Stand up from the crowd, be different and think different. Christianity is not a religion for you to follow and the traditional stuffs. Christianity is all about your believe and your relationship with God. Are you courageous enough to stand up and break the barriers of traditions of traditional Christians? Stand out from the crowd. Be courageous to stand out and voice out what is not right and to do what is right in the eyes of the Lord. Why did God choose Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah? Because they choose to stand up, stand out and be courageous to do the right thing. They stood firm for what they believed in and whatever the devil tried in to harming them did not succeed because God was with them.

You got to be courageous to lead. In Joshua 1:6 Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their forefathers to give them. What God has given to you today? Are you a servant leader or are you a leader leader? Joshua was a servant of the Most High God. Because of his heart attitude, a servant heart person, God appoints him to be the next leader after Moses, to lead the Israelites in to the Promised Land. Joshua was able to lead the Israelites because he knows that God is with him (Joshua 1:9b).

You got to be courageous to move in faith. In Joshua 1:7 Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go. We got to have courageous faith to believe and trust on every Word that God has spoken to us pertaining to our life. If God is the one who has spoken His promises to you, for sure He will do it. The questions is do we have courageous faith to believe in His promises?

You got to be courageous and do not fear. In 2 Chronicles 32:7 Be strong and courageous; do not be afraid nor dismayed before the king of Assyria, nor before all the multitude that is with him; for there are more with us than with him. As I mentioned earlier, God has not given us the spirit of fear. It wasn’t born with us. Do not be afraid to try something new. We learn from our mistakes and failure is the door step for the victory. One time fail doesn’t mean all the time we fail. Do not afraid to voice out what is wrong. Do not be afraid all the scheme of the devil. The devil should be afraid of you. David was not a chicken when he faced Goliath. So do not even be afraid of cockroaches, rats and so on.

You are CHOSEN to be a COURAGEOUS and CONTAGIOUS believer and servant of God! Are YOU ready to STAND UP, STAND OUT AND SHINE FOR JESUS?

I choose to be courageous and contagious believer and servant of God. What about You?

God Bless You!

In Christ,

Chosen

2011-01-13T12:52:00.002+08:00

Word of the day is “CHOSEN”

What is the meaning of chosen?

According to Oxford dictionary it means

Pronunciation:/ˈtʃəʊzn/

past participle of choose

adjective

having been selected as the best or most appropriate

Gods plan is always a man/woman. The bible says that God knew us even before we were born into this world (Jeremiah 1:5). Not that only, He has sanctified us and appoints us to be prophets to the nations. This means if you are a born again believer and you have accepted the Lord, I have good news for you. YOU are a prophet over the nation where you belong to! Amen! You are the chosen one, having been selected as the best.

John 15:16 You did not choose Me, but I chose you...

Why are chosen by God?

In Psalms 132:13 says “For the Lord has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His dwelling place:” We are the chosen one of God because He has desired it. We are chosen to be His dwelling place (John 15:4). The Bible says that our body is His Holy Temple.

God is not looking for rich people, those who have PHD (permanent head damage) behind their name, or some Bible theologians to do His will. God is looking those whose hearts are after Him. In Matthew 21:2 – if God can use a donkey, I would to be that donkey. We are chosen to be the carriers of His presence. Jesus ride upon the donkey in Matthew 21:2. When I said I would to be the donkey, it simply means that I would to carry the presence of the Lord where ever I go.

We 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 marvellous light; (1 Peter 2:9). He has chosen us specifically to be His royal priesthood (hallelujah, I’m excited about this), a Holy nation (whoaaaa), and His own special people (you read that again). The reason He has chosen us is to execute all of His plans. We are here to do His will.

We are chosen to bear good fruits. In John 15:16 You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain. What does it means? It simply means that we are called to do His works and the fruits of the Spirit will continually grow in us.

We are chosen for eternity. In Ecclesiastes 3:11 says He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; God set eternity in our hearts. While we are still on earth, everything we do must have an impact for the eternity. Things of the earth are not everlasting things. But let us set our hearts for things which are from above. Be an eternity minded person. The is a song and the lyrics says “Heal my heart and make it clean, Open up my eyes to the things unseen, Show me how to love like you have loved me, Break my heart from what breaks yours, everything I am for your kingdoms cause, As I go from earth to Eternity.” God is preparing us for eternity.

We are chosen to receive the power of Holy Spirit and to be His witness. In Acts 1:8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." Well this is power is not a magical power. But this is given to all believe in Jesus. This power is the dominion power that God gave us (Genesis 1:26). We are people of power. The devil sees us they tremble in the name of Jesus! That is the power that God has given us. We are given the power to heal people in the Name of Jesus. When i say heal people it means, we are not the healer, but God is the Healer, we are just His vessels. As we lay our hands and pray for people, His power will flow through us. We are chosen to be His witnesses. In Matthew 28:19-20 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Do I need to explain this?

For every child that is born on earth, has a mandate to fulfil their destiny. God has the blue print of our lives. He knew us even before you and I was born. He knew us by our name and He knows every little thing about us. He has chosen us even before we have those pHD, doctorate, scholar, wealth and so on. Our heart condition is important. The question is what are we going to do about the calling that God has placed in our lives? God has a need and use of us in whatever station of our lives.

I’m privileged to be the chosen one of God. What about you?

God Bless You

In Christ,

Wait

2011-01-12T11:27:00.002+08:00

Word of the day is "WAIT"

Isaiah 40:31 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.

The above Word clearly says that those who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. Not that only, but our hopes, our vision, our passion, our mission, our spirit, our mind, our heart being renewed. This is a daily process of renewing. As we take time to wait upon the Lord in prayer, He will refresh and renew us in His presence.

Someone once said “waiting time is not a wasted time". The time we take in waiting upon the Lord is not a wasted time, because He preparing us for the greater heights in our lives, and our ministry.

Waiting upon the Lord does not mean that we are just sitting and waiting upon Him. It means as we move in faith, we wait upon the Lord for the next step to be taken. As we wait upon the Lord it means we are putting our total trust upon His word and His promises. Psalms 130:5 says, I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, And in His word I do hope. Without a direction from His word, we are not going to go anywhere far.

Our heart attitude is important because it will determine our altitude in everything that God has called us to do. If we do not have the heart to wait upon the Lord, well do not expect everything we do will be a great success.

We must take time to seek the Lord for everything that He has prepared for us this year. We got to be steadfast in His word, as we take time to seek and wait upon the Lord, let His word dwell richly in us so that we can run the race with a clear vision by holding on to His promises.

May be you are going thru some hard times in your life now. You need to make some hard decision in regard to your life, your working environment, the ministry that God has given to you and in every other aspect. What are you going to do about it? Are just going to let it go or are you going to take that matter into prayer and seriously seek the will of God? Waiting time is not a wasted time. As we take time to wait upon the Lord, as it is written in Ecclesiastes 3:11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. Amen. He will indeed make things beautiful as we take time to wait and seek Him.

Let us take some time to seek Him and wait upon Him for the things that He has prepared for us this year. Let us not go through this year like how we did last year, But let us allow God to direct our each step as we take time to seek Him and wait upon Him and let God give us a new revelation and vision for our life, for the ministries that we are involved in and for every other aspects of our lives.

I choose to wait upon the Lord. What about you?

God Bless You!

Focus

2011-01-10T14:12:00.005+08:00

Word of the day is "FOCUS"

Psalms 123:1-4 1 A Song of Ascents. Unto You I lift up my eyes, O You who dwell in the heavens. Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters, As the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, So our eyes look to the Lord our God, Until He has mercy on us. Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us! For we are exceedingly filled with contempt. Our soul is exceedingly filled With the scorn of those who are at ease, With the contempt of the proud.

What are we focusing into? To whom we look to? Are we focusing too much into our situation, our problems, our wealth, our securities,our friends, parents? What and where are we focusing to now?

The earthly things that we look up to will NOT guarantee the growth of our spiritual life. As we read in Psalms 123, King David says, only to God alone he looks up to. His total focus is the Lord, and not to the situations and circumstances around him, even though he was a rich king, but his riches did not guarantee everything, it did not give a guaranteed salvation, peace, joy, love and so on.

In Matthew 14:29-30, Peter started to walk on the water really good. Why? Because his focus is to reach Jesus, his focus was Jesus. But then he ended sinking, why? Because the moment he turns away his focus from Jesus and allow the wind to take over his faith, his emotions, and every other human aspect, he begins to sink. We should have and immovable FAITH so that we can focus on Jesus and His word.

We can learn a few things from Peter. Peter had the FAITH to believe and trust in Jesus and he knows Jesus is His only hope. So with all boldness He tried to walk on the water because Jesus was his main focus. Same goes to us, as we have begun this year, let Jesus and His word or shall i say His promises be our main focus, not our wealth, not our situations, not our problems, but let Jesus be our main focus and let His words richly dwell in us. Amen!

As we journey through this year, let us not lost our focus in Jesus and hold on to His promises. Do not be like Peter. On his way to reach Jesus, his focus was drifted. Why? Because he began to realize of the problems that he is going thru, the troubles, the trial and testing’s, his wealth and so on. And these things had caused Peter to lose His focus on Jesus.

Galatians 3:3 Are you so foolish? After beginning with the Spirit, are you now trying to attain your goal by human effort?

Galatians 5:16 & 25 So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.

Do not lose our focus in Him. Be steadfast in His word and have an immovable faith. We have begun with the Spirit, but we are trying to accomplish everything in human effort. Do not be like peter. Our problems, trials and testing, our wealth, and every other earthly thing are not going to take us on where we should be. It will not help us to focus in Jesus. It will only bring destruction to our spiritual life. I am not talking something theologically, but something to practice. If we have begun this year by totally surrendering all to His, and totally focusing on Him, so let us not let the devil to drift our focus away from Jesus, His word and promises and the Holy Spirit.

Let not our fleshly desires to take over our minds. We are not perfect; God is making us to be perfect. There are times we fall, but not forever we fall, yet we still try to rise up with the help of Holy Spirit. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Since we have started to focus in Jesus, be steadfast in His word and have an immovable Faith, let us not give in to every scheme and the lies of the devil. Problem, troubles, hard times, trials and testing may come along our journey thru out this year, but the question is are still going to put all our focus in Jesus and come out of all the problem, troubles, hard times, trials and testing victoriously or we want to sink into all the problem, troubles, hard times, trials and testing and just flow with the wave.

Now the best part is, even we try our best to focus in Jesus, our human nature sometimes do give in to all that is happening around us and we began to sink like Peter, and yet, when we cry out to Jesus like Peter did in Matthews 14:30-31 But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, "Lord, save me!" Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. "You of little faith," he said, "why did you doubt?" . Jesus is always with us. So do not be afraid to journey thru this year. His promise to us in Joshua 1:9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go." So let us be strong, be bold and focus on Jesus. The Lord is with us till the end of age. He is Emmanuel - God is with us. Amen.

Hebrews 13:5 ....because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you."

I choose to focus in Him, be steadfast in His word and to have an immovable faith, and as i have begun in Spirit, I want to end it in Spirit as well. What about you?

God Bless You!

In Christ,

Prayer

2011-01-09T15:11:00.001+08:00

Word of the day is "Prayer".

Before i continue, i would like to ask each and everyone of you who are reading this. Are you a praying person? Do you spend time with the one who created us, our Father in heaven, our God.

Matthew 6:6 But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.

Why prayer is important? Its like asking why internet is important or why is the technology is important.

Ok let me explain it in terms of "internet". To make internet to work we need a few things such as, a computer, a hub, a modem, a router, a server. and so on. So take make our prayer to work we need things like :

1. PRAYER
2. FAITH
3. THE WORD OF OF GOD

PRAYER is our computer/laptop whereby we lift up our deeds and needs to God, as we type for the internet address or make a search in google, prayer is about we lifting up our deeds and needs to God. Not only praying for us only, but praying for others as well.

Now, FAITH is our modem or router. Before even we get connected to the Internet, we need a modem or router to dail and get connected. FAITH is the catalyst that makes us to be connected with Jesus. As we pray, we must have the FAITH to believe what we pray and God will answer it. So FAITH is important for our prayers to be connected to our GOD (the server) with 2 way communication. God receives our prayer and HE respond to us back if we have faith in what we have prayed.

THE WORD OF GOD is the link which we need to use for the prayers that we lift up to God. It is the "internet web address". In 1 Corinthians 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. We need to be steadfast in the WORD OF GOD. We need to have an immovable FAITH and we got to know that every prayer and supplications that we lift up to GOD is not in vain as we use HIS word and pray. Because HE has spoken in HIS word that "it will not return to HIM in vain, but will accomplish every purpose that it has been sent for". The Word of God is the promises of God for our lives. As we pray, it is a must, a compulsory thing for uy to use as we pray. Because HIS word speaks about you and me. HIS promises is YES and AMEN for us.

Let us have all the spiritual weapons with us and be on guard so that devil will not deceive us and attack us when we struggle, when we don't know what to do, when we are at the crossroad of our life. Just PRAY, have FAITH, and use THE WORD of GOD.

If you are encountering many problems in your life, or you are at the crossroads of your life, or may be it seems everything you have planned is failing, well just pray. We got to P.U.S.H. Pray Until Something Happen! Amen!.

Philippians 4:6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;

Matthew 7:7 "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

I choose to P.U.S.H, what about YOU?

God Bless You.

In Christ,

Doubt

2011-01-07T09:35:00.000+08:00

Word of the day is "DOUBT".

As we journey thru this year in FAITH, well things may seems to be like not wat we wanted it to be, trials n tribulation, even to the point of giving up. Doubt may creep into our mind trying to deceive us to give up our faith in God and have doubts concerning all the plans and purposes that God has for us.

1 Corinthians 15:58 says, Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

Be steadfast in the Word of God. Hold on to HIS promises to us. If God is the one who promised us, for sure HE will do it. HE is not a liar. Let HIS Word richly dwell in you, so that in every trials n tribulation, problems, relationship problems, working problem, hard times, - use HIS word. For HIS words are sharper that 2 edged sword.

Have an immovable FAITH. Jesus said in Mark 5:36 "Do not be afraid, Just believe". Hebrews 11:1 says, Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. If we say we trust God and put our hopes in Him, which means we r trusting HIM for the things unseen which will be revealed to us in HIS time. How to have an immovable faith? well its simple, Hold on to HIS promises and in every situation, speak out HIS word into that situation. When you speak out HIS word, it means you bringing GOD Himself into the situation. Remember .... In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. So when u speak forth HIS word... u are actually Inviting Jesus Himself into that situation. This is how we can have an immovable FAITH.

As you go about doing HIS work - whether you are called to serve fulltime or at your work place or anywhere God has placed you, let us always never cease in doing HIS work and let us do it in love.

Psalm 119:38 Establish Your word to Your servant, Who is devoted to fearing You

I choose not to doubt HIM, but to trust in HIM and give thanks to HIM. what abt u?

In Christ,

+_-= ShErKaRL KuGaN =-_+

Give Thanks.

2011-01-06T08:36:00.001+08:00

Word of the day is "GIVE THANKS".

1 Thessalonians 5:18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

Psalms 118:1 Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.

Begin to give thanx in every circumstances - good or bad -. As we journey thru this whole year 2011, the only word that should come out of our mouth when things are failing around us, when situation is going from worst to worst, when being betrayed by the one u care n loved, when u didn't get the increment that you deserve, when you are being persecuted for no reason, when your family members do not understand you, when your bf/gf do not understand you, when your pastor ignore/scold/correct you, just close your eyes and shout HALLELUJAH! and GIVE THANKS to the Lord, for HE will work things out for good. Our ways are not HIS ways, our plans are not HIS plans. For HE know the thoughts that HE think toward you, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

As we have begun to move forward in faith this year 2011, start to GIVE THANKS to God and you will witness the miracles that will take place which God has prepared for you.

I can pen down a lot of HIS goodness, wonders, miracles that i have experienced in the past and still today, but you will not be convinced by what i say. Though the words i say are true, it will still fail to capture you. So you got to experience it your own.

I choose to give thanx, what about you?

In Christ,

Blessed New Year 2011

2011-01-04T09:02:00.002+08:00

BLESSED NEW YEAR 2011 - Moving in Faith!

This was my prayer on 31-12-10.
Lord, help me to burry all the past and all the things dat has taken place in 2010 and help me to move forward in Faith as i step into 2011...my promised land.

Many things has happen in 2010... there are things that i had to let go the hardest one was my relationship (now i feel how Abba Father felt when HE had to give HIS only Son for my sins)...a lot of painful moments, disappointments, betrayal, hypocrisy and many unexplained things, in which i had to learn to forgive n forget n let it go!

I took sometime to pray abt many of the listed things above, mainly my relationship, hmmmm the only things i heard HIM saying was "Do not be afraid, just believe". Its hard for me to believe, coz im still seeing things dat suppose to get better n better, but instead its getting worst to worst... How to believe? But yet in that kind of difficult situation, i still hear this voice saying to me... "Be Still and know that I am GOD, do not be afraid, just believe".

Finally at the end of 2010, i prayed, and let everything go... my relationship which was on a complicated mode, and many other things such as anger, forgiveness and so on.

Ok what God has install for me this year? Well i know HE has prepared everything beautiful for me as His word says in Psalm 85:12 The LORD will indeed give what is good.... I believe He will give me the best.

I choose to believe and stand firm in faith and to walk thru this 2011 in FAITH...what abt you?

In Christ,

Either God must take him away....or take me away!

2010-04-27T10:22:00.001+08:00

Too many people been asking this same question all over again... and now im ashamed to say that i am one of them now.... and the question is -> Is There a GOD? if yes then y on heaven He has to put people like me is somekind of shitty n full of crap situation?

The answer... "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the Lord. "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands. Instead of the thornbush will grow the pine tree, and instead of briers the myrtle will grow. This will be for the LORD's renown, for an everlasting sign, which will not be destroyed." "Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland. Lift your eyes and look to the heavens: Who created all these? He who brings out the starry host one by one, and calls them each by name. Because of his great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing. Why do you say, O Jacob, and complain, O Israel, "My way is hidden from the LORD; my cause is disregarded by my God"? Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

and now...i praise Him n i know victory is on my side now...i juz hv to wait for it... the day will come wen God's gonna lift me up and shame the enemy...

Here is a testimony from a friend.

2010-03-04T15:00:00.001+08:00

When I was a little girl, my fantasy and dreamland were built with love of my family. It was a seed which was planted with GOD’s blessings. Since young we were thought about Christ the lord though we were born Hindus. My father had an extraordinary passion for Christ and we inherited that love for Christ as a family.

As I grew, my love for my mum and dad grew with me. I learnt how they had sacrificed their life for our bright futures. Mum and dad were born on the same day, month and year, and they shared a wonderful life of love together. Dad earned a little income but he was a wise man; he stood by the word of GOD and was able to provide us with good shelter, food, security and most valuably his wonderful love for the family. Mum was a dedicated woman who thought us the important virtues in life. She installed a valuable asset within us – Education.

When I was 17, dad lost his eye sight of his right eye. It was a painful chapter I recalled as he had to leave his job. Mum had been a tuition teacher for long so dad helped her out and was doing a very small business at home. It was a huge storm but we stood together, in the name of Jesus. HE was our guide then. It was then when I used to turn to the bible to read –Mark chapter 10, verse 49 on how Jesus healed the blind. Being a normal human being, I couldn’t stop myself from questioning GOD –if he will he ever heal my dad’s eye sight. I never found the answer back then.

5 years went by, and though we had many problems within the 4 walls, we had great faith in Jesus and we stood strong as a family bonded with undivided love.

Then came by a day in August 2007, when my dad fell really ill. We never knew what was wrong with him until the scan results were out and he was rushed for a major operation middle of the night. He was having brain hemorrhage I can never explain the painful moments we went thru that night till his operation was over in the morning. The doctor had put a slight smile on our faces as he said that the operation was successful. We thanked GOD so much as we saw dad coming out of the operation theater. However, we knew that there were complications. His skull was drilled and there was a tube hanging from it to drain out the excessive fluid. All we could do is say our prayers. That was the only day we really slept well. The following Monday, mum calls me at work and throws me another bad news. Dad just had a heart-attack. We never knew he had complications with his heart till that Monday. According to the doctor, the brain hemorrhage had thinned his blood and this complicated the heart condition. Being so upset, I still refused to shed a tear; I was still strong with faith and only had a little more strength to persuade mum that dad will get better.

But I was certainly wrong when my dad had his second attack the next morning. That was a terrible attack. The doctors washed their hands and relatives came to visit him for the last time. As a daughter, I never could accept that fact. I cried too much that day and I was helpless with the situation. With my last piece of faith I went to the church. My sister and I cried so much as we entered the church begging GOD for my father who was already dying. I felt Jesus’ arms around me, and for that moment I was calm. I knew HE would never let me down.

I rushed back to the hospital with my sister, only to find mum calmly sitting down outside and dad lying down peacefully on his bed in the ICU ward.

Days went by and he got better. I am very sure as you read this sentence; you could feel the happiness I felt back then. I can still feel it as I write this. Yes, he was recovering slowly. I never failed to thank god.

It was as if god gave us a second chance to be with our darling father. The one whom we Loved so dearly. We had a chance to clean him up, shave his beard off, comb his hair, feed him and say prayers with him daily. We all took turns to do this. We went to the church together and gave thanks to the lord. I cried so much during those times as I couldn’t stop thanking god for the miracle he has done. And that was the time when dad realized that I had so much of faith in Christ the lord.

6 months later dad passed away. He suffered too much. I had more strength to accept it this time though it’s still painful and we miss him dearly. But I can never stop thanking god for the second chance he gave me to be with my darling father.

Only after this episode I realized why my dad was never healed from his blind eye-sight of his right eye. GOD knew that my dad only had a few years more to live and he gave us the chance to spend more time with him at home after he lost his job. Isn’t HE simply wonderful!

I believe this is one of the shinning testimonies of HIS keeping power. In many ways, he touches our life in different ways.

“How wonderful to know that he who watches from above, will always keep us sheltered in his ever-present love!” – king

Destiny calling? Let VISION be your guide

Destiny calling? Let VISION be your guide
February 19th, 2010 · 18 Comments
Taken from http://johnmaxwellonleadership.com/

What is your destiny? Where will you be in five years? Or 10, or 30?

Of course, no matter how hard we search, no one can answer that question with certainty. But while we can’t know our destiny, we CAN know and change our direction.

The journey toward destiny always begins with VISION. Vision is the roadmap to your destiny, the picture of your purpose. Without it, you may find yourself off course — or worse, going nowhere.

I feel so strongly about the power of a vision that I devoted my 2009 book, Put Your Dream to the Test, to that very subject.

But even without the help of a book, you can start discovering your vision today. How?

Take some time to LOOK…

Within you: What is your passion?
Behind you: How have past lessons and experiences prepared you to pursue your passion?
Around you: What’s happening to others in this area (the trends)?
Ahead of you: What do you want to accomplish?
Above you: What part does God play in your life and dream?
Beside you: What resources are available to you?
Alongside you: Who can partner with you in this pursuit?
Hubert Humphrey was a man with vision. He took his first trip to Washington, DC, in 1935, and wrote the following to his wife:

Honey, I can see how someday, if you and I make up our minds to work for bigger and better things, we can someday live here in Washington and probably be in government, politics, or service… Oh gosh, I hope my dream comes true – I’m going to try anyhow.

Hubert Humphrey’s dream carried him all the way to the United States’ vice-presidency. Where could your vision carry you? The vision you have truly will shape the person you become.

Churches being burnt, the word "Allah" being copyrighted...summore wat else?

Hi n Shalom in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

seriously i am not moved and not suprised by what is happening now... the Judgement clock has already started ticking... it is WRITTEN in the bible... and you u christians are moved abt it? juz pray for this ppl... for our bro n sis, for the sons n daughters of Ishmael, as it is written For nation shall rise against nation, and ... See Morekingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and you shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
Matthew 24:7-12.

this is how we show the Love of Christ...by loving them! in the old days.. the prophets and apostle also was persecuted... but they did not retaliate, instead..the showed the Love of God.. one good example...Jesus...even at the point of his last breath...he said... Father forgive them for they do not know what they do...even Stephen as well... they... See More stoned him to death... but did he fight back? instead he said Lord forgive them.... what more we? As christian we shud know onething which is... we r fighting not againts flesh n blood... but against the principalities and the powers of darkness... so fighting back the muslims is not the final answer.. what we do is we pray a prayer of blessing.. and show the Love of God towards them... thats what Jesus and his disciples would do if they were still alive... GBU. May the peace of the lord be with u!

Kesaksian

2009-07-29T12:11:00.006+08:00

Shalom dalam kasih Tuhan Yesus! Kasih karunia dan damai sejahtera dari Allah, Bapa kita dan dari Tuhan Yesus Kristus menyertai kamu.

Bertemu kita sekali lagi dalam sharing saya kali ini. Saya mau mengajar setiap kita yang membaca sharing ini dan juga pada setiap saudara yang mengunjungi laman web ini untuk menyaksikan kebaikan Tuhan serta segala mujizat yang telah dilakukan oleh Tuhan dalam hidup mu dan melalui dirimu. We got to understand one thing, God performs miracles in our life’s so that we can testify and be a witness of His goodness to others that they who do not know Jesus... and those who have not experience Him as well as those who are not strong in faith or those who wanting a miracle to happen in their life too will come to believe God strongly thru the TESTIMONY "KESAKSIAN" that we share.

One day a Pastor from Myanmar, Rev.Philip Ahone, he shared a statistic of how one person get to know Jesus. It goes like this, Pastor ini, dia menghadiri satu perjumpaan pastor pastor Asian countries dan dia mewakili negara Myanmar, Jadi dalam meeting ada satu Pastor yang waktu itu sedang preaching tanyakan satu soalan. Soalannya adalah, Siapakah disini mengenal Yesus melalui hamba Tuhan (pastor ke, evangelist ke dll)? and you know out of 6000 people there only 50 people raise their hands. Then dia tanya soalan yang kedua, Siapakah disini mengenal Yesus melalui rakan rakan, well the balance 5950 peoples raised their hands. Kenapa ia boleh terjadi macam itu? Kerana disaat kita menyaksikan kebaikan Tuhan pada orang yg tidak percaya.... orang itu pasti akan mula mempercayai Tuhan Yesus serta akan mula membuka hatinya utk menerima Yesus,,...ada AMEN?

Kesaksian kita adalah Penting! Kenapa saya mengatakan bahawa kesaksian kita adalah penting? Kerana seperti yang saya katakan tadi, we are the witnesses of His miracle and goodness! Dan bila kita menyaksikan kebaikan Tuhan pada seseorang yang imannya lemah ataupun pada orang yang tidak percaya, Tuhan sendiri akan meneguhkan kesaksiaan kita. Seperti di Ibrani 2:4 Allah meneguhkan kesaksian mereka oleh tanda-tanda dan mujizat-mujizat dan oleh berbagai-bagai penyataan kekuasaan dan karena Roh Kudus, yang dibagi-bagikan-Nya menurut kehendak-Nya. Tuhan meneguhkan kesaksian kita oleh tanda-tanda dan mujizat - mujizat AMEN! jikalau kita berani utk menyaksikan kebaikan Tuhan pada sesiapapun, tanda - tanda dan mujizat - mujizat yg dinyatakan dalam Ibrani 2:4 itu adalah, Tuhan akan mula bekerja dalam kehidupan seeorang itu yang mendengar kesaksian kita. AMEN? Tuhan tidak menjadi besar atau berkuasa melalui kesaksian kita! Jangan berfikir "oh oleh kerana saya menyaksikan kebaikan Tuhan, jadi

Tuhan menjadi besar!" Ini salah saudara ku yang saya kasihi dalam Kristus. Sebenarnya disebabkan Tuhan itu Mahakuasa bahkan lebih besar daripada apa yang kita fikirkan, oleh kerana itu Dia dapat lakukan segala perbuatan yang ajaib yang langsung tidak masuk akal. Firman Tuhan dalam Matius 19:26 Yesus memandang mereka dan berkata: "Bagi manusia hal ini tidak mungkin, tetapi bagi Allah segala sesuatu mungkin." Bagi manusia, segala sesuatu itu mustahil, tetapi bagi Tuhan segala sesuatu itu mustahil, dan Dia dapat lakukan apa apa yang Dia mahu lakukan... kerana firman Tuhan dalam Lukas 1:37 Sebab bagi Allah tidak ada yang mustahil." AMEN!

Tuhan melakukan mujizat dan perkara – perkara yang ajaib dalam diri kita so that we would give testimony to other based on what God has done in our life so that those who unbelief will believe, and those who are weak shall become strong in faith! Seperti yang tertulis dalam 2 Tesalonika 1:10 apabila Ia datang pada hari itu untuk dimuliakan di antara orang-orang kudus-Nya dan untuk dikagumi oleh semua orang yang percaya, sebab kesaksian yang kami bawa kepadamu telah kamu percayai. Oleh kerana kesaksian kita ada juga orang akan menerima Yesus, hidupnya akan berubah dan yang lemah imannya akan menjadi kuat dan terus membuka hati supaya Yesus boleh memulakan satu pekerjaan yang baru dalam hidup seseorang itu.

Dalam Kisah Para Rasul 20:24 rasul Paulus mengatakan “ Tetapi aku tidak menghiraukan nyawaku sedikitpun, asal saja aku dapat mencapai garis akhir dan menyelesaikan pelayanan yang ditugaskan oleh Tuhan Yesus kepadaku untuk memberi kesaksian tentang Injil kasih karunia Allah.” Tugas kita sebagai seorang Kristen, orang yang percaya pada Yesus, haruslah seperti yang dikatakan oleh rasul Paulus, iaitu “... untuk memberi kesaksian tentang Injil kasih karunia Allah.” Amen!

Orang yang hidupnya senantiasa dalam Tuhan, yang senantiasa berjalan dengan Tuhan, melakukan segala sesuatu yang difirmankan oleh Tuhan, pasti akan ada kesaksian tentang bagaimana Tuhan bekerja melalui seseorang itu. Amen! Pasti dia akan mengalami mujizat dan juga melihat kebaikan Tuhan dalam hidupnya.

Saya mengakhiri sharing saya pada kali ini dengan firman Tuhan dari 3 Yohanes 1:6 Mereka telah memberi kesaksian di hadapan jemaat tentang kasihmu. Baik benar perbuatanmu, jikalau engkau menolong mereka dalam perjalanan mereka, dengan suatu cara yang berkenan kepada Allah. Jikalau kita menyaksikan kebaikan Tuhan pada orang lain, meraka akan memberitahu tentang kesaksian kita pada orang lain juga, something like spreading the word. Well it would be something like a hot topic to be discuss when some friends gather together and they will talk about what God has done is our life. Amen.

Saya berdoa bagi setiap yang membaca, agar Tuhan akan melakukan perkara – perkara yang luarbiasa dan ajaib dalam hidup kamu supaya kita boleh bergiat dalam member kesaksian kita pada setiap orang, tak kira bangsa dan agama! Amen! Dalam Nama Yesus, diberkatilah kalian yang membaca sharing saya kali ini. God Bless You and Have a nice day!

In Christ,

Shalom dalam nama Tuhan Yesus. Kasih karunia dan damai sejahtera dari Allah, Bapa kita dan dari Tuhan Yesus Kristus menyertai kamu.

Sudah sekian lama saya tidak begitu aktif dalam blogging. Jadi sekarang saya mau pastikan akan mulanya satu permulaan yang baru dalam saya blogging ini. Semuanya tahu bahawa ini adalah tahun kebangkitan " a year of revival" seperti yang tertulis dalam "Mazmur 119:107b ... hidupkanlah aku sesuai dengan firman-Mu." ataupun bangkitkanlah aku sesuai dengan firman-Mu..... Revival will not take place in our country, unless we are revived! Unless have experienced the revival touch of God, Amen! Ok so this is not what I want to share here today... Saya akan sharing tentang ini di blogging yang lain.

Well, what i am about to share is about prayer! I know most of us know how to pray and what to pray. But do we really know what we are praying? Does our prayer bears fruit? I'm talking abt personal prayer life, doa pribadi kita.

Doa pribadi adalah penting bagi kita sebagai pengikut Kristus. Mengapa saya mengatakan ia PENTING? Kerana hanya melalui Doa pribadi kita, Tuhan memperbaharui kita dan memberikan kita kekuatan yang baru supaya kita dapat mengatasi dan juga melawan segala pekejaan iblis. dalam pada itu Tuhan juga mencurahkan kuasa Roh Kudus-Nya pada kita.

Kenapa harus ada Kuasa Roh Kudus? Di Markus 1:35 “Keesokan harinya, waktu masih subuh, Yesus bangun lalu meninggalkan rumah. Ia pergi ke tempat yang sunyi di luar kota, dan berdoa di sana.” Kenapa Yesus harus ke tempat yang sunyi untuk berdoa? Kerana Dia dapat berdoa tanpa ada apa apa gangguan serta Tuhan, Bapa kita, dapat menjamah Yesus serta memperbaharui-Nya untuk terus melakukan mujizat yang luarbiasa.

Kalau kita teruskan membaca di Injil Markus 1:35 ke atas, kita dapat melihat, bahawa pengikut Yesus, mencari cari Yesus. Lalu Yesus berkata dalam ayat ke 38 “Jawab-Nya: "Marilah kita pergi ke tempat lain, ke kota-kota yang berdekatan, supaya di sana juga Aku memberitakan Injil, karena untuk itu Aku telah datang." Dan kita dapat melihat di ayat ayat yang seterusnya dalam Injil Markus ini, Yesus melakukan perkara yang dahsyat dan luarbiasa, kerana Dia telah dijamah oleh Tuhan terlebih dahulu.

For us to pray, 1st we must settle down everything that might hinder us from getting into prayer. Kita harus menjauhkan diri kita dari segala kekacauan, yang mungkin akan menarik perhatiaan kita daripada berdoa. The best way is masuk kedalam bilik kita dan berdoa. Dalam Matius 6:6 Yesus mengatakan “Tetapi jika engkau berdoa, masuklah ke dalam kamarmu, tutuplah pintu dan berdoalah kepada Bapamu yang ada di tempat tersembunyi. Maka Bapamu yang melihat yang tersembunyi akan membalasnya kepadamu.” Amen!.

Kita juga harus bertenang supaya kita boleh focus pada Yesus tanpa apa apa halangan dan gangguan, dan boleh berdoa. Seperti tertulis dalam 1 Petrus 4:7 “Kesudahan segala sesuatu sudah dekat. Karena itu kuasailah dirimu dan jadilah tenang, supaya kamu dapat berdoa.” Apabila kita berdoa, bermaksud 2 way of communication, ada juga setengah ajaran Kristen yang menyesatkan. Mereka mengatakan bahawa prayer is only 1 way communication. AWAS, jangan tertipu! Actually prayer is a 2 way communication as written in Jeremiah 33:3 “Berserulah kepada-Ku, maka Aku akan menjawab engkau dan akan memberitahukan kepadamu hal-hal yang besar dan yang tidak terpahami, yakni hal-hal yang tidak kauketahui.” Di saat kita berseru pada Tuhan, itulah saat kita berdoa dan berkomunikasi dengan Tuhan. Tidak semestinya kita berdoa... doa... dan doa dan tetapi tidak mendengar apa yang Tuhan mau berbicara. Kita harus mengizinkan Tuhan juga berbicara pada kita.

Doa yang penuh percaya akan menghasilkan buah. Amen! Dalam Markus 11:24 “Karena itu Aku berkata kepadamu: apa saja yang kamu minta dan doakan, percayalah bahwa kamu telah menerimanya, maka hal itu akan diberikan kepadamu.” Apakah itu doa yang penuh kepercayaan? Well it simply means whenever we pray or in preparation to pray, bagi mereka yang boleh berbahasa Roh, mulakan doa dengan berbahasa Roh, dan izinkan Roh Kudus untuk tunjukkan pada kita perkara perkara yang harus kita doakan, biarpun perkara perkara mengenai hidup kita ataupun selainnya. And dari situ kita gunakan Firman Tuhan dan janji janji Tuhan dalam doa kita. We confess the Word of God for a particular need in your life or for the situation as we pray! Dan itulah namanya doa penuh dengan kepercayaan. And i believe the prayer we pray will surely bear fruit! Amen!

Amen saudaraku! Sampai di sini sahaja sharing kali ini. May be in future i will try something like webcast thing! Praise God for the technology. I’m currently running tests on it, but still haven’t expert it, so please do bear with me. I hope you have been blessed thru this short sharing. God Bless You and have a wonderful day!

In Christ,

Akulah pokok anggur

2009-04-15T16:05:00.004+08:00

Akulah pokok anggur (Yohanes 15:1-17)

Yesus mengakatakan bahawa “Akulah pokok anggur” maksudnya sumber kehidupan kita, tempat kita berharap. (Illustrasi pokok mengambil air dari tanah dan salurkan pada dahan dahan serta ranting ranting pokok). Bapa-Kulah pengusahanya – yg menjaga kita, mencantas dahan2 yg tidak berbuah…contoh illustrasi seorang pekebun.

Ayat 2 menunjukkan bahawa Bapa kita yg memotong setiap dahan dan ranting yg tidak menghasilkan buah dan juga membersihkan dahan2 dan ranting2 yg berbuah supaya ia berbuah lebih banyak. Bermaksud, Kehidupan seharian kita dalam mengikuti Yesus..adakah kita berhasil ataupun berbuah dalam Kristus? Di saat kita berjalan mengikut Yesus, dan tidak menyimpang dari kebenaran ini dan pulang kembali ke jalan asal kita, bermakna Bapa kita di surga akan terus memastikan bahawa kita berjalan dalam terangNya senantiasa. Dan apabila kita berhasil dalam kristus, process permbersihan yg dimaksudkan ialah, Tuhan akan mula melakukan pekerjaan yg baru dalam hidup kita. Contohnya seperti sawah padi, apabila padi telah dituai, para petani membakar padi2 yg lama dan mula membajak sawah padi itu kembali…knp? Utk mulakan pekerjaan baru, iaitu menabur benih padi yg baru Amen? Begitu juga dgn Tuhan, apabila kita berhasil dalam Tuhan, Tuhan akan membersihkan kita… mula memenuhi kita dgn kuasa Roh Kudus dan juga dgn kebenaran FirmanNya, supaya kita dapat menghadapi cabaran2 serta tantangan yg baru!.

Ps.Sunil selalu berkata, kita boleh menilai seseorang Kristen itu sama ada dia berbuah atau tidak… berbuah disini bermaksud, bergiat melakukan pekerjaan Kristus iaitu menjangkau jiwa jiwa bagi memenuhi kerajaan Tuhan. Ada satu ungkapan mengatakan, “hancurkan neraka dan penuhkan surga…”

Tuhan mahu memberkati kita tetapi berkat itu tidak akan datang begitu saja tanpa pengorbanan… contoh apabila membeli barang….huraikan..
Sanggupkah kita sbg Kristen..mahu terus taat dan setia serta melakukan apa yg diperintahkan Tuhan? Matius 6:33 mengatakan bahawa...itulah pengorbanan kita...

Yesus pokok dan kitalah carangnya, apabila kita tinggal didalamnya, melakukan setiap yg diperintahkanNya dan mengutamakan apa yg tertulis dalam Matius 6:33, pasti kita akan berbuah.

Mazmur 1:3 Ia seperti pohon, yang ditanam di tepi aliran air, yang menghasilkan buahnya pada musimnya, dan yang tidak layu daunnya; apa saja yang diperbuatnya berhasil. Kita tdk akan menjadi seperti pohon ini, jikalau kita tidak berjalan bersama Tuhan ataupun tinggal didalamNya. Matius 21:18-22 menceritakan ttg satu pohon ara. Jgn jadi seperti pohon ara ini..ia diibaratkan spt seorang kristen yg diluarannya nampak bagus saja, tetapi didalamnya rohnya mati... di ayat 19 Tuhan berfirman pohon ara itu daunnya lebat tetapi tiada buah...knp? kerana seseorang yg itu tidak tinggal dalam Yesus, tidak mengikut perintahNya, tidak taat dan setia padaNya tidak saja mendengar, bahkan tidak melakukan apa yg telah diamanatkan olehNya. Banyak orang pada mulanya menerima Yesus dan bersungguh sungguh melakukan pekerjaan Yesus, tetapi lama kelamaan... terus pudar... Banyak yg dipanggil, tetapi hannya sedikit yg dipilih...kenapa? Kerana di Yohanes 15:2 dan 6 ada dinyatakan bahawa Bapa yg memilih kita dan bukannya kita yg memilih Dia, terpulanglah pada Tuhan sama ada utk memotong dahan yg tidak berbuah ataupun biarkannya... tujuan Bapa kita disurga bagi hidup kita adalah untuk terus berbuah dalamNya... Amen! Yohanes 15:11 Tuhan berfirman, ’supaya sukacitaKu menjadi sempurna.’

In Christ,

Masanya untuk perubahan

2009-01-29T11:56:00.003+08:00

Kita tahu sekarang, bahwa Allah turut bekerja dalam segala sesuatu untuk mendatangkan kebaikan bagi mereka yang mengasihi Dia, yaitu bagi mereka yang terpanggil sesuai dengan rencana Allah. Roma 8:28

Sebab Aku ini mengetahui rancangan-rancangan apa yang ada pada-Ku mengenai kamu, demikianlah firman TUHAN, yaitu rancangan damai sejahtera dan bukan rancangan kecelakaan, untuk memberikan kepadamu hari depan yang penuh harapan. Yeremia 29:11

Tahun 2008 adalah tahun permulaan baru (Yesaya 43:18-19). Tahun 2009 Tuhan telah janjikan bahawa Dia akan meneguhkan segala yg telah Dia mulakan pada 2008. Dalam kita menuju ke peneguhan perjanjian dan juga pekerjaan Tuhan, tahun ini Tuhan telah janjikan bahawa akan ada suatu pembaharuan dalam kehidupan kita dari segi fizikal dan rohani, iaitu pembaharuan melalui :-

- pertumbuhan dalam mengalami proses penyegaran yg luar biasa didalam Tuhan dimana kita umat pilihan Allah dipenuhi dgn kuasa Roh kudus yg luar biasa.
- Pembaharuan dalam pembentukkan seseorang individu atau jemaat Tuhan dgn diperlengkapkan utk pekerjaan pelayanan bagi pembangunan tubuh Kristus.
- Pembaharuan dalam cara pemikiran kita, cara kita melakukan pekerjaan Tuhan dan juga pekerjaan harian kita.

Dalam process pembaharuaan ini, kita pasti akan menghadapi pelbagai jenis cabaran serta tantangan yang hebat sekali bahkan kita mungkin menyoal pada Tuhan kenapa ini semua harus terjadi? Pasti kita akan lalui musim pengujian dari Tuhan, sebab hanya daripada suatu pengujian serta cabaran, kita memperoleh wahyu yang baru tentang Tuhan dan daripada Tuhan. Wahyu ini akan memimpin dan membawa kita kepada innovasi iaitu memberikan kita pemahaman yang baru serta idea idea yang baru dimana kita boleh menggunakannya dalam pelayanan kita serta pekerjaan kita. Disaat kita melakukan pelayan serta pekerjaan kita dengan cara pemikiran yang baru serta dgn cara yang baru, dengan pimpinan Roh Kudus, innovasi ini akan membawa kita mengalami suatu pertemuan dgn Tuhan dgn cara yang luar biasa.

Yosua 3:5 mengatakan “Berkatalah Yosua kepada bangsa itu: "Kuduskanlah dirimu, sebab besok TUHAN akan melakukan perbuatan yang ajaib di antara kamu." Di saat kita alami pertemuan yang luar biasa ini, Tuhan akan mentahirkan serta mengkuduskan diri kita hanya jika kita mau izinkan Tuhan bekerja dalam hidup kita. Tuhan tidak pernah memaksa sesiapapun... tetapi kita harus tahu iaitu segala sesuatu yg Tuhan kerjakan dalam hidup kita adalah utk kebaikan kita bagi mereka yang dikasihi Tuhan yg dipanggil sesuai dgn firman Tuhan.

Untuk kita menghadapi segala cabaran pada tahun ini, kita harus dan mesti menguasai dan mengatasi masa silam kita. Jangan biarkan ia menjadi penghalang bagi kita dalam prosess pembaharuan ini. Dalam Yosua 5:9, Dan berfirmanlah TUHAN kepada Yosua: "Hari ini telah Kuhapuskan cela Mesir itu dari padamu." Tuhan menghapuskan cara cara kita yang lama, cara pemikiran kita yg terlalu tradisional dan Tuhan mencurahkan anggur baru pada kita kerana yang baru tidak boleh dicampurkan dgn yang lama seperti di Matius 9:16-17 Tidak seorangpun menambalkan secarik kain yang belum susut pada baju yang tua, karena jika demikian kain penambal itu akan mencabik baju itu, lalu makin besarlah koyaknya. Begitu pula anggur yang baru tidak diisikan ke dalam kantong kulit yang tua, karena jika demikian kantong itu akan koyak sehingga anggur itu terbuang dan kantong itupun hancur. Tetapi anggur yang baru disimpan orang dalam kantong yang baru pula, dan dengan demikian terpeliharalah kedua-duanya." Jangan berdoa pada Tuhan untuk membangkitkan kembali masa silam kita, tetapi doakan supaya Tuhan akan membangkitkan, memperbaharui serta menguatkan iman kita dalam menghadapi setiap cabaran serta dugaan pada tahun ini. Disaat kita bangkit menghadapi cabaran yg datang dgn pimpinan Roh kudus, kita akan mula mengalami perubahan yang Tuhan mau laksanakan dalam hidup kita, sekitar kita serta pada Gerejanya.
Kita harus fahami apakah tujuan panggilan Tuhan dalam hidup kita dan apakah kehendak Tuhan dalam panggilan ini.

Mazmur 139:23-24, Raja Daud mengatakan bahawa Selidikilah aku, ya Allah, dan kenallah hatiku, ujilah aku dan kenallah pikiran-pikiranku; lihatlah, apakah jalanku serong, dan tuntunlah aku di jalan yang kekal! Marilah kita izinkan Tuhan untuk terus menyelidiki hati kita supaya Tuhan dapa melakukan suatu pembaharuan dalam hidup kita sesuai dengan kehendakNya dan rencanaNya supaya kita akan selalu kekal berjalan dalam perjanjianNya dan dituntun oleh Roh Kudus.

In Christ,

IT'S TIME TO CHANGE!!!!!

2008-12-24T10:53:00.002+08:00

ITS TIME FOR A CHANGE….

Shallom and Greetings…in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

It has been long time since the last I posted my article here. Anyway, we have come to the end of year 2008. Just few more days more to go…. Many things have happen in this past 6 months… well yeah things that way out of my mind… and I never thought that it will be so soon… ;) but Praise the Lord… He meant it for good as it is written in Romans 8:28 “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose”. Well then… as I said many things have happened this past 6 months…. Well and now I am writing here after long period of break…

Well as clearly stated above…my title… well indeed it’s a time for a change… Amen… in Isaiah 43:19 says… “Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert”. This has been my very focus to forget what has happened in the past and focus upon what God has installed for me in future as written in Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future”. Beginning of this year 2008, God spoke to me from Isaiah 43:18-19. Its all abt new beginning that He wants to start doing in my life … and I am glad n grateful that the Lord has chosen me for this very purpose. Life now is different after I have obeyed the Lord’s calling and to serve Him fulltime. Every one of you knows abt the 40 days fasting I took… u can read on my previous message … Through out that fasting and praying period… God spoke to all abt going into fulltime and serving… well… I was quite stubborn ..to be honest… As soon as I finished fasting.. I applied for another job… everything went well… but at the final interview… things were messed up for good… hehe I was so frustrated with God of why He has to do it like that. Then God spoke to me clearly saying “ Why are you so troubled and frustrated because of not getting that job…and is that job more important to you than what I have done for you?” It was like a direct slapped on my face! His presence was so real and touched me and opens up my eyes… God reminds me abt the promise I made to Him… in 2001. And now… after 8 years, God choose this year 2008 to do a new thing in my life. FYI, the number 8, in the Hebrew is a symbol of new beginning.

Not only for me… I believe for those who are reading this article… I am pretty sure that this year was a new beginning for you as well. The reason I am saying that its time to change is because if we continue to just stand upon His promises and wait there nothing is going to happen unless and until we walk in His promises… We need to change the way we think and do things. Our attitude decides what we become.

In the process of a renewal or change, there will be new challenges in our life that brings out a new revelation of God. A new revelation leads to innovation which means we have to change the pattern or the style in serving the Lord… just the change the way we do things… Innovation just simply means to innovate or to bring a new understanding… we are to give the world that is lost now… a new understanding of who Jesus is… its just the method is same…. The message is same but in a different way or style. This new innovation will lead us into possession of encountering God in unfamiliar ways. Ways where we never encounter God before.
We got to get out of our traditionalised mentality where we only think what is in the box and not outside of the box. Well to be honest Malaysians have been brought up in a way where : “I will only mixed around with my race and will be more careful when I mix around with another race” We have to change this mentality. When God can use a Black man (Barrack Obama) to bring changes in US, its time for us to move according the waves of change that God is bringing now. We have to change the thinking pattern and come to a realisation that we are Malaysians, “Bangsa Malaysia” which is the one and only race … not Malaysia Malay or Malaysian Chinese or Malaysian Indian, but be proud enough to say that you are a Malaysian. Anyway, why did I get to there… hehehe… so well God has stated clearly in Joshua 3:5 And Joshua said to the people, Sanctify yourselves: for to morrow the LORD will do wonders among you”. Let God to sanctify us and clean us up for the new thing, a brand new work, a change in our life. The question is are we willing to surrender to God all of our ambition and will and just focused upon the Lords will. And promised by the Lord in Joshua 5:9 Then the Lord said to Joshua, "Today I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you." Well in Bahasa Indonesia translation of this word literary means God has destroyed the old self of our flesh and He is putting on us a new wine skin. One thing we must understand that is, what is the purpose of the Lord’s calling upon our life and what is the Will of God upon this calling?

This year as I stated above… God has begun many new things in my life personally, and God has promised me that next year He will establish the things that He has began this year… I personally believe that next year is a year of establishment! God will establish the things that He has started in our life… if only we obey and do as what God has spoken. Then through our walk with God, He will change us, mould us refine us according to His will and His purpose that which He has called us. As the psalmist David says in Psalms 139:23-24 “Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.” Let us allow God to search our hearts even before this year ends. Let there be changes taking place in our lives as God remove, cleanse and do the operation that He needs to do in our life so that there may be changes in our lives and for the things that God has started in our lives, He will establish it in this coming year 2009.

Have a Blessed Christmas and A Blessed New Year 2009.

In Christ,

Shalom and greetings.... its been a long time... well i receive this from a friend of mine, do read it as this liltle word of encouragement has encouraged me!

Be still in times of trouble
by Daphne Pereira

Are you facing hard times, trials or persecution today? Are you where you are today by your own strength or ordained by God? If you are where you are today is ordained by God in His plans for you and you are facing difficult times - stop, be still!

Exodus 14:13-14 "Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the LORD will bring you today. ........... The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still."

David refrained from killing King Saul when he had the opportunity because King Saul was ordained by God to be king and David knew he could not touch King Saul. 1 Samuel 24:6-7 He said to his men, "The LORD forbid that I should do such a thing to my master, the LORD's anointed, or lift my hand against him; for he is the anointed of the LORD." With these words David rebuked his men and did not allow them to attack Saul.

David entrusted God to deliver him from King Saul. In 2 Samuel 12:7 "......This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: 'I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you from the hand of Saul...."

Jeremiah 1: 19 " They will fight against you but will not overcome you, for I am with you and will rescue you," declares the LORD."

Be still. Trust in the Lord. Stand firm and hold your head high as you stand in the place where God has ordained your steps to be. The Lord will fight the battle (oppositions, persecutions, hostility from people) for you. The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still. Amen.

Title : To be renewed in Intimacy with God

Psalms 27:1-3
The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?
the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
When the wicked, even my enemies and my foes, came on me to eat up my flesh,
they stumbled and fell.
Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear:
though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.

Psalms 3
3:3
But you are a shield around me, O Lord; you bestow glory on me and lift up my head.
3:4
To the Lord I cry aloud, and he answers me from his holy hill. Selah

A short skit...yet meaningful...performed by Harvest Revival Center (H.R.C) Mens Fellowship on 9th December 2007.....

The story line of the skit.....

God created man… and he was happy for it… and He breathe in to the man... God was enjoying the fellowship with human as He pours out His love towards the human being He created… and He even feeds them…And man fall in to the sinful world and God was separated from Human… and man was indulging in sinful life…and yet God was trying to bring back the human that He created to his first love…The Human was so confused… and it seems everything the human tried was failing… and has fallen to the lies of the devil….. Ending up in committing suicide… the human tried to fight back against the devil… but the human was not strong enough to defeat the devil … the human think that God has abandon him.. Human tried to get back to God… but the sins of his life is holding him back from getting closer to God again… and yet God was there…trying to bring back the human to Him .... And finally God intervened and bore the sins of the man… and set the man free from all the bondages’ of his sins… as the human repented of his sin with no condemnation ... Satan was defeated by the death of Jesus Christ on the cross and bore the sins of the world and human was connected again to God and enjoyed the first love……

Hope the skit below will b a blessing to u and minister u....

Shalom and Praise The Lord....

This year 2007 is about to end... and a Brand New year is about to come... Indeed this year has been a year of fulfillment of God's plans and promises... over the lives of His childrens.

I Would Like to take this opportunity to thank and Praise God for everything that He Has done for me.... i would like to share a small testimony here.

Past few weeks back somewhere around the last week of the month November'07 until the 2nd week of December'07, i have intensed pain right lower below my stomach. o cant remember whether i got that pain from a sport injury or during my practice for my church Mens fellowship presentation. But onething the pain was so terrible... i ask my friend..abt it.. he said could be appendicitis, i was suprised... my friend said better go and check with doctor but i just surrender to God and prayed... but u know it seems that my prayers wasn't being answered... and the pain is so terrible. We christian always want an instant healing... like instant mee! God will do it according to His time... and will be do it on the right timing... no late no early. Anyway back to my testimony... i suffered nearly 2 weeks... and at the end of the 2nd week.... a Pastor... came to my church HRC to preach... and during the altar call... i went... desprating for God to touch and heal me... (FYI i still haven't consult a doctor yet) the Pastor said... take your right hand and placed it on your chest and repeat the prayers after me... and i did as what the Pastor said... i dont know whether u will believe me o not... as i pray... i really felt something was like moving at the place where the pain was.. i felt that like something being cut of... i dunno lah... its like something was moving... i juz said ... oh Lord... thanx for the healing.. and i can feel that there is something taking place... Praise the Lord... i realise.. that the Lord was in a mission... "Operation Mission" He was operating me and was healing... i surrender to Him and said Lord You take control... and complete the operation that you have begin.... and 3 days after that i wel to consult the doctor... the Doctor check me up and said... everything is fine... and he said may be could be gas problem and so on.... but u know... i felt relief and i began to praise God... for what He has done... Jesus is Alive..and He is real!!!! Experience Him and u will know His goodness... as His word says... in Psalm 34:8 O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusts in him...

Invisible Enemies

2007-11-27T14:58:00.000+08:00

Invisible Enemies

Every Christian has an enemy. Although unseen by the natural eye, this adversary is not imaginary nor a mythological character. Satan, the Devil, is a real person... a spirit being, with intelligence, tangible characteristics, and whose incessant goal and ambition is to “steal, kill, and destroy” (John 10:10)… we are not fighting against flesh and blood, but against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.. as written in Ephesians 6:12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

As a youth, as an adult… as we walk in the path that God has prepared for us, there is many stumbling block. Satan will try his best to bring us down in many ways… thru many forms. His method of operation is almost always “undercover.” Subtly, he manipulates hindering circumstances and inspires evil thoughts or temptations, disguising his activities behind the shroud of people or things. He will always seek to divert attention and blame for his actions upon others. But make no mistake, he is the real enemy, not your husband, wife, employer, government or Christian brethren!“

In 1 Peter 5:8 “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.” In NIV translation it says… Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. We can’t see what’s happening in spiritual realm if we are not connected to God, that’s what the devil is trying to do now. The devil is trying his best to separate man from God so that we won’t know what the devils schemes and plan and that we won’t fight against him. The good news is that, although the Devil is described “like” a “roaring lion,” in reality he has no actual authority over believers. He is not really a lion, but roars “like” a lion would to bluff his victims into fear and intimidation. Satan is a liar and deceiver and uses deception as his weapon to gain advantage over those who are ignorant of the limitations of his power… so be prepared to fight back and pull down the strong hold of the devil! Don’t give the devil a foothold in your life as written in Ephesians 4:27.

How to defeat satan?

As a believer, you don’t have to fear Satan, but realize and exercise the authority which God has given you over the Devil. Every person whose name has been recorded in the Book of Life” (all those who are saved) have been given authority over the power of the Devil. “Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you” (Luke 10:19). You have the right to use the authority of the name of Jesus to repel and drive Satan out of your territory and to break his grip over spiritual strongholds, 2 Cor. 10:4 says The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.. When you recognize Satan’s activity and covert operations, take authority over him in the name of Jesus! Just as Jesus and the early apostles did, command Satan to leave as written in Mark 16:17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues;.

The Devil hates the name of Jesus and detests an atmosphere of praise and worship which exalts the name of Jesus. Christ said, “For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them” (Matt. 18:20). Be assured, the presence of Christ will expel the presence of Satan. Lifting up Jesus in praise will send the Devil running! The name of Jesus will drive Satan away. But it would be futile to order Satan’s departure if we leave the door wide open for him to flourish, to come again and do his business. The Bible tells us to not “give place” for the Devil (Eph. 4:27). That is, provide no area of your life where Satan can be comfortable or establish strongholds. Slam the door on the devil and don’t let it be open and you open it again for the devil to come and have tea and eat some karipap with you.
This is why the scripture says, “...submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you” (James 4:7). The only way to actually resist Satan is to submit yourself fully to God. This was what Jesus was referring to when He said, “...the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in Me” (John 14:30). Jesus had submitted himself to God, and although the Devil would try Him, there was nothing for the Devil to use to gain an advantage, because Jesus had overcome the devil! In Revelation 12:11 says They (the believers) overcame him (the devil) by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death. In this passage we read just now, its written that the overcame him by the word of their testimony… well meaning to say.. Jesus has washed us by His blood… and now God has given us the power to overcome devil with every single word of our testimonies… which means… Give testimonies…share with your friends what God has done for you… and shame the devil! Draw closer to God and don’t allow the devil to separate u from God. If you aren’t strong in God, the devil can easily attack you!

Finally, In every situation use the word of God… as written in Joshua 1:8, Proverbs 3:1-2 and Proverbs 4:21-22… meditate on it daily and don’t let this word apart from us because you will need the Word to overcome the devil. When Jesus was tempted by satan, He uses the Word to overcome the devil in every situation

Hope this song will minister you and that u will realise that u have the authority and power to overcome the devil!!!

Jesus Loves You and Be an Overcomer...

Lets draw closer to God....

2007-10-11T10:31:00.000+08:00

Greetings and blessings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

I would like to share some point’s in regard to get closer with God. To have an intimate relationship with Him...our Creator.

In this last days... what do you think is more important to us the child of God? can you do a wild guess??? hehehe... anyway... oh ya... in this last days... everyone knows Jesus is coming back soon...indeed...in this last days God is calling us back to Him...to the 1st love...when God created the world...it was empty, and that is why God created Adam and Eve so that God can pour out His love to them and in return they will love God, the Creator.

But now...despite all problem we go thru... all sufferings ....all our tight work schedules.... sometimes we don’t even a have minute to spend with God... If we r expecting God to move in our troubles....and suffering... or even if we are praying for something... or for a miracle or whatever needs we have... all this can't be done... if we never draw closer to God.

Beloveds, God moves in many ways... such as Worship.... during worship, God...moves...pour out is awesome presence and joy over us... during worship many broken hearted are healed... those who are physically sick are healed.... God moves mightily in worship... a rain of His healing powers take place. Not only in worship... another way is as we draw closer to Him God will draw closer to us... and there is where we can say boldly... If my God is for me...who can be against me...No one and no weapons can be against us...am I right o not...correct me if I’m wrong. Not only in drawing closer to God...we can see God move... but also in doing His will. Which is ...if we choose to do God's will...in return God will choose do to the desires of our heart as written in Psalm 37:4 Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart... This is an ancient secret. If we willingly want to carry the cross and tell the world about our Lord Jesus Christ..being persecuted..suffer for the cost of the cross.. for sure inreturn God will choose to do what He has promised us. See the life of apostle Paul, he suffered the most, and yet God never double cross His word and promises. His words came to past.

Beloveds, as we draw closer to God, we can see many things taking place. God has created us so that we will Love Him in return. Love Him in worship, Love Him in doing His will, Loving Him in everything we do... God will never ever let us go...even in the storm or calm... God will be always right beside us. In the book of Joshua 1:9 says "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go."

Gods word is Yes and Amen and He keeps to His promises. Even Jesus said in His own word, ..."Come to me, all you that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. (Mat 11:28), For I am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior (Isaiah 43:3a) and… I am the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6) and whatever you shall ask in my name, that will I do (John 14:13) "Come!" And let him who hears say, "Come!" Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life. (Revelation 22:17)".

Beloveds, sometimes i feel like I am not worthy of the calling ... which God has called me ... coz many many times i failed to use the time God gave me to spend with Him...to get closer to Him... to feel His fatherly love over me... and you know...it really saddens my heart coz, God weeps every time whenever I failed to spend my time with God, . He cries out of pain.... and for sure He will shout of anguish... and say... why you my child do not want to spend your time with me.... every time i was there for u whenever u was in trouble... whenever u was suffering ...i lighten up ur burdens... but why now?? when I want to pour out my Love to you... you are not able to free yourself and company me....?

Why now days preachers and pastors...are busy doing something else.... busy hunting for souls, yes this was the great command that God gave us to preach the gospel to the un reached are of the world... to all the unbelievers...but then not only pastors...or preachers...or evangelist or the missionaries...even ppl who go to church also.... do they really using the time frame God gave us...in order for us to use that time to get closer to God?? Sometimes we are to busy, to tired and ending up in "to lazy" to spend the precious time which God has allocated to us.Finally Beloveds, let us make every effort to spend time with God, to get closer with our Creator, our Lord God, the King of Kings..... He is longing for our love...coz He wants to pour out His love upon us and refresh us in His awesome presence in order for us to go through another mile with His strength, and a hope in Him.

Thanx for reading. Jesus Loves you all and Gob Bless You.

Be Blessed as we listen to the song below.

The Greatness of God

2007-09-15T13:57:00.001+08:00

"Thou Art Very Great" Psalm 104:1,34

Psalm 104 begins with the acclamation that God is VERY GREAT. Great is the God of Heaven!

He is great in power. Creation displays His mighty power. All things were made by Him. The heavens were the work of His hands (Psalm 102:25). His power was demonstrated in history as seen in the Nation of Israel. His power was revealed in His Son who in the days of His flesh, wrought many miracles. He cast out demons, cured the sick, healed the blind. People were amazed at the wondrous power displayed in the Incarnate One. Surely "no man can do these miracles except God be with Him..." His power was shown in His ability to love those that did not deserve love. His power to free us from sin is seen at the Cross. There He broke the chains of darkness, and set the captive free.

He is great in majesty (Zech 9:17). He is the King of kings and Lord of lords. Isaiah 63 speaks of His glorious apparel, and the greatness of His strength. Psalm 24 is a proclamation of His majesty: "The Earth is the Lords! He is the King of glory." On the Mount of Transfiguration, the disciples were eye witnesses of His majesty. Luke tells us that there came a voice from the excellent glory saying "This is my Son! I am well pleased with Him." How the Father delighted in His Son for His willingness to come down from the excellent glory and into our sad world to suffer for sins by the death of the cross.

He is great in grace (2 Cor 8:9). Think of the riches of His grace. Do we really know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ? "He who was rich, for our sakes He became poor, that we through His poverty might become rich."

He is great in love. The Bible says that His love passes knowledge. We cannot explore the depths of His love. He loves the World (John 3:16); He loves the sinner (Romans 5:8); He loves the religious, the intellectual, the widow. He loves the rich, the rebel, the apathetic. He loves the sufferer, the poverty stricken, the lonely, and the helpless. He loves the homeless. His love so vast and far reaching, that it encompasses the great span of the sphere of man, and touches the heart of individual souls.

He is great in wisdom. He is the "all wise God." We may not understand all the mysteries of human suffering, and pain. Yet He is the "all wise God." In His wisdom He runs the universe, and "worketh all things out according to the counsel of His will."

He is great in redemption. In Mark 2 Jesus is confronted by a man who could not walk. He says to the man that his sins are forgiven. This cause quite a stir. Who can forgive sins but God? Jesus, knowing their thoughts asked: "What do you think is easier for me to do; to say to this man that his sins are forgiven, or to say, rise, take up your bed and walk?" (Mark 2:9). The gospels are filled with the miracles that Jesus performed. In three words, He calmed a raging sea (Mark 4). He said "Peace, be still." In three words, He raised a man from the dead (John 11). He said, "Lazarus, come forth!" Think of the power of His words. Yet to forgive sin, to redeem mankind, the Lord Jesus could not just speak the words. He had to go to the Cross. 1 Peter 1:18-19 says "Ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold...but with the precious blood of Christ..." "Christ our Passover was sacrificed for us" (1 Cor 5:7). It wasn't easy to forgive sin. Yet in His greatness, He found a way to redeem men from under the law. Truly He is great in redemption. "Thou art worthy...for Thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God, by Thy blood..." (Rev 5:9)

He is great in glory. He is the king of glory...What wonderful words the angel proclaims as He entered into the world: "He shall be great.." (Luke 1:32). The One who is great in heaven, shall be great on Earth. Paul proclaims in Titus 2:13 that He is the Great God..." Why? Because He gave Himself for us. What wonderful joy is ours to remember the one who is great in glory.

Psalm 104 opens with the wonderful affirmation of the greatness of the Lord. May we know the Psalmist's joy of meditating on the sweetness of the one who is great in Heaven and the one who is our Savior and our Lord.

How Great...is our God...sing with me...
How great is our God, and all will see
How great, how great is our God.
You're the Name above all names,
You're Worthy of all praise,
And My heart will sing
How great is our God.

Then sings my soul my Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
Then sings my soul my Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art....

I hope and pray that You Have understand the Greatness of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and as a bonus package.... i would like u to be Blessed by istening to the track below.... God Bless You all.... In Jesus Name....

In Christ,

How and Where do u see yourself in the sight of the Lord...

2007-08-24T10:27:00.001+08:00

But the Lord said to Samuel, "Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart."
1 Samuel 16:7

hmmmm it doesnt matter how human looks at u or how u look urself at d sight of every human eyes... wat does really really matters is how u look urself at the sight of Almighty God...and How God looks at u... that is what does really count the most... Have a heart of servent... and serve the Lord with fear and trembling... and rejoice over the harvest of souls which is hungry for the Lord...

May b u come to a point in ur life where u say... i hate my life for what i have done in the past... well i can tell u one thing... Jesus said... I am the way..the truth and the Life... and friends... the life u r living is not urs but...its Jesus... coz God died and gave you His life... and paid the whole amount of your sins and my sins...at the cross.... Not because of who I am ...But because of what You've done ...Not because of what I've done ...But because of who You are and we r here because of Jesus...

Yet we were sinners, God still see us as His Holy Priesthood. but to the humans eyes... they will condemn us as a sinner.... dun bother what human says... coz humans word is not the final word... God's word is Yes and Amen.. Humans sight may decieve... but not God's...

Sumtimes God allow us to go thru trials n tribulation...and u may ask... why lord??? what have i done that i deserve such a punishment...?? but friends...the good news is... c the big picture... God allow us to go thru it because... at that point we will cry out to Him... ask for His guidance... and so on... and yet friends.. u r not going thru the situation alone... but God is walking before u...holding ur hand... and guiding u...that u may not stumble and fall while u go thru that situation, but come out victoriously.... Amen...

Have a wonderful day... God Bless Ya all.... Let the Fire of the Holy One burn in u.... and keep on burning for HIm...let Men see Jesus in u and thru u.... Shallom..

From,

In Christ,

The heartbeat of God....

2007-08-23T11:47:00.000+08:00

Shallom and praise the Lord...brothers and sisters in Christ....

1st of all i would like to welcome each and everyone of you to my page...

The very heartbeat of God, is to see all of His childrens return back to HIM.... to reign with Him in His Kingdom.... God gave His only Son, Jesus Christ... everyone is familiar with this scripture in John 3:16 says... "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life". Does anybody really understands this verse??? God gave His only Son Jesus, the ultimate sacrifice for our sins.... Jesus gave Himself as the ultimate sacrifice ... fully paid on death all our sins... yet we stand as a sinner, God made us a Holy and Royal Priesthood thru Christ Jesus.

Psalm 8:4 says... What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him?... why God has to do this? why??? because He wants everyone of His creations to Love Him... to worship HIM and Him alone...

Finally friends... i hope You will be blessed by this Song... God Bless You All...
