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,

Give Thanks.
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?

Blessed New Year 2011
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?

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