Yes I am who He says I am

2011-05-10T10:18:00.000-07:00

Thank You God for being so faithful and assuring. Indeed, I am who I am because You said so. In times of storm and need, I look to You and this is what You say :)

Isaiah 61

¹THE SPIRIT of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed and qualified me to preach the Gospel of good tidings to the meek, the poor, and afflicted; He has sent me to bind up and heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the [physical and spiritual] captives and the opening of the prison and of the eyes to those who are bound,

²To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord [the year of His favor] and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn,

³To grant [consolation and joy] to those who mourn in Zion--to give them an ornament (a garland or diadem) of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, the garment [expressive] of praise instead of a heavy, burdened, and failing spirit--that they may be called oaks of righteousness [lofty, strong, and magnificent, distinguished for uprightness, justice, and right standing with God], the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.

⁴And they shall rebuild the ancient ruins; they shall raise up the former desolations and renew the ruined cities, the devastations of many generations.

⁵Aliens shall stand [ready] and feed your flocks, and foreigners shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.

⁶But you shall be called the priests of the Lord; people will speak of you as the ministers of our God. You shall eat the wealth of the nations, and the glory [once that of your captors] shall be yours.

⁷Instead of your [former] shame you shall have a twofold recompense; instead of dishonor and reproach [your people] shall rejoice in their portion. Therefore in their land they shall possess double [what they had forfeited]; everlasting joy shall be theirs.

⁸For I the Lord love justice; I hate robbery and wrong with violence or a burnt offering. And I will faithfully give them their recompense in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant or league with them.

⁹And their offspring shall be known among the nations and their descendants among the peoples. All who see them [in their prosperity] will recognize and acknowledge that they are the people whom the Lord has blessed.

¹⁰I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul will exult in my God; for He has clothed me with the garments of salvation, He has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.

¹¹For as [surely as] the earth brings forth its shoots, and as a garden causes what is sown in it to spring forth, so [surely] the Lord God will cause rightness and justice and praise to spring forth before all the nations [through the self-fulfilling power of His word].

*Thank You God once again! I agree and take it in* :)

God's love for Jerusalem

2011-04-24T23:14:00.000-07:00

No matter how many times Israel went into idolatry and sinned against God, in fact didn't want God to move amongst them, He always had an upper hand on the matter and causes things to His advantage.

Been reading the wonderful book of Ezekiel and I came across this beautiful verses of God's love for Jerusalem. You need to read the chapters before that to really grasps the whole thing to only be able to appreciate what God says here in these verses (Ezekiel 16:1-14)

^"1 Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying, ² “Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations, ³ and say, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD to Jerusalem: “Your birth and your nativity are from the land of Canaan; your father was an Amorite and your mother a Hittite. ⁴ As for your nativity, on the day you were born your navel cord was not cut, nor were you washed in water to cleanse you; you were not rubbed with salt nor wrapped in swaddling cloths. ⁵ No eye pitied you, to do any of these things for you, to have compassion on you; but you were thrown out into the open field, when you yourself were loathed on the day you were born.
⁶ “And when I passed by you and saw you struggling in your own blood, I said to you in your blood, ‘Live!’ Yes, I said to you in your blood, ‘Live!’ ⁷ I made you thrive like a plant in the field; and you grew, matured, and became very beautiful. Your breasts were formed, your hair grew, but you were naked and bare.
⁸ “When I passed by you again and looked upon you, indeed your time was the time of love; so I spread My wing over you and covered your nakedness. Yes, I swore an oath to you and entered into a covenant with you, and you became Mine,” says the Lord GOD.
⁹ “Then I washed you in water; yes, I thoroughly washed off your blood, and I anointed you with oil. ¹⁰ I clothed you in embroidered cloth and gave you sandals of badger skin; I clothed you with fine linen and covered you with silk. ¹¹ I adorned you with ornaments, put bracelets on your wrists, and a chain on your neck. ¹² And I put a jewel in your nose, earrings in your ears, and a beautiful crown on your head. ¹³ Thus you were adorned with gold and silver, and your clothing was of fine linen, silk, and embroidered cloth. You ate pastry of fine flour, honey, and oil. You were exceedingly beautiful, and succeeded to royalty. ¹⁴ Your fame went out among the nations because of your beauty, for it was perfect through My splendor which I had bestowed on you,” says the Lord GOD."

It's just so overwhelming. If God can show His love in such manner to Jerusalem, what more for us now living in the End Time? :D Think about it further and reflect on your own life. It's just marvelous!

Sharing of a Vision from the Third Heaven

2011-04-04T23:42:00.000-07:00

Here I will be sharing an open vision that I received at Glory School on March 29th, 2011 by Patricia King. Have prayed about it and have received the meaning as well and it is the Lord that instruct me to share this here with you. I pray that you will open your heart to not only read this as a sharing but rather, a revelation that will sink deep into the deepest most of your heart & change hence propelling you to obey His voice :)

Vision:

I was taken up to the Third Heaven and I was dancing in a wide green field alone. While I was dancing, I asked the Holy Spirit, "I'm dancing alone?" then suddenly a man in white appeared. I just knew it was Jesus who appeared and He danced with me (just like those ballroom dancing) and it was so lovely. Holding my hands, turning me around, putting me near His chest, smiling at me and enjoying one another. While we were dancing, flowers started popping up and we came about to a stream (river) which led us to a beautiful waterfall. The scenery was just perfect. I was so enjoying this in His presence and not wanting to end it. But in the natural, I know Patricia King was about to end this Third Heaven experience, I quickly told Jesus, "this is so nice & lovely" then He replied me "very nice hor?" with a very pleasant smile. I nod my head and said "ya, very nice" and smiled back at Him. He then continued and say to me "there are many people who do not have the privilege and chance to experience this. Go and tell My people to share this with those who do not have the chance to experience."

Meaning:

We the children of God has already the ticket into His glory as we were made for glory. We can access anytime and enjoy His wonderful presence, embrace and love. Instead, there are many out there who do not know Him yet and do not have this opportunity to enjoy the presence and the goodness of God.

The part I was enjoying it so much and not wanting to end this experience, it only means that Christians are not to keep it to themselves and be selfish with the privilege that we have when many are suffering. They need to know that Jesus loves them and want them to experience this too!

Application:

Let's go into the glory realm and bring this glory out into the world. Many people are longing for their Savior but not knowing how to connect themselves to Him. We are His chosen people to shine the light, be the salt and bring the glory to wherever we are! Let's put aside our differences, preferences, prejudices, dissatisfaction, expectations and our selfish ambitions to move on with what God wants us to do. SHARE HIS LOVE :) He wants people to experience Him in a deeper way.

All you have to do, is believe that you are connected to Heaven and bring down His glory to the people you meet. Sharing Him by experiences, demonstrating the kingdom of God, laying on of hands, showing of love and many more are ways you can practice :) Refer to your Discipleship Program. It's useful!

Thanks for being patient to read this and I pray that it will cause you to be more hungry and thirsty for Him hence also sharing this out. Remember what Ps David shared, we won't want to be a stagnant water, we want the river to flow! :D God bless you!

Make a change - Have courage!

2011-01-25T01:23:00.000-08:00

This is a sub-topic taken from the book Heavy Rain by Kris Vallotton

Braveheart
There are many people who call themselves leaders but are actually just puppets for the masses. Their strings are pulled by popular opinion as they search for the path of least resistance. Their goal is to make decisions that please as many people as possible. But what they refuse to understand is that when you fear the people, you are not leading them; they are leading you. It is important to realize that the organizations we are called to lead can become idols, something we bow down to instead of serve and lead. Jack Taylor put it this way: "An idol is something you have to check with before you say yes to God." It is so easy to find ourselves bowing down to the will of the crowd instead of following the cloud of God's direction.

In the movie Braveheart, William Wallace tries to convince Robert the Bruce to join his tattered army of makeshift soldiers in freeing Scotland from the tyranny of the English. Bruce argues with William and tries to persuade him to calm down. Finally, in a rage, Wallace storms out of the castle with Robert the Bruce in pursuit, still trying to convince him to compromise with his enemies and make peace with England.

William Wallace stops abruptly on the castle steps and turns to Robert the Bruce. The camera pans in on the two men as they stand there, staring into each others eyes for what seems like eternity. Then, in his best Scottish accent, William delivers the most powerful lines of the entire movie: "Men don't follow titles, they follow courage! If you lead them, they will follow you. It's true you know. I can see it in your eyes!"

I understand this is just a line in a movie, but it's still true. In this hour, when the political spirit seems to reign supreme and the media high priesthood crucifies anyone who disagrees with the crowd, God is still searching for a man, for a woman, for somebody who has the courage to stand with Him. He just needs a person who will truly lead, make the call and lift up a cry for righteousness - someone who will be a voice for the Kingdom, not just an echo of past religious ideologies or some political clone, chameleons whose convictions change with the company they keep.

John Maxwell says, "When leaders lack confidence, their followers lack commitment." Courage inspires people. It's the bridge between what is and what should be.

While I was reading this sub-topic in the book, it had to go through my mind that many at times, we're just plain chickens! Scaredy-cats! (Blimey, not an insult... it's a fact... and I'm speaking from experience) Searching from the depths of my heart, I found that it is all the matter of the heart as to why we are not taking the lead when we are supposed to be leading.

Set-backs, disappointments and failures are just facts-of-life but unknowingly, it has shaped the inside of us aka mind and heart. With that, it paralysis the part in us to move on and hence unable to take the lead.

It is well said at the text above from the book and needless to say that God is only searching for hearts that are willing to be surrendered to Him despite all sorts of issues we carry, all sorts of complaints we have or even legitimate reasons! We are called TO MAKE A CHANGE and not sit and watch things happen! We are called to MAKE A CHANGE and not allow situations to continue as it is!

Have courage,my friend! Stand on the firm Foundation of Christ and move on together with Him. Shrug off all those things that holds you down and carry the cross! Be blessed as you ponder on this!

2010, a year of Thanksgiving!

2010-12-29T19:31:00.000-08:00

2.0.1.0 - - - a year of discovery, a year of expansion and most of all a year of blessings!

It all started in November 2009, I was praying to God and this is what He said in His simple and comforting tone “my child, 2010 will be a different and exciting year for you!” Wow, at that time when I got that word from God, I was excited yet nervous (in a good way). I replied Him, “Ok God, I give myself to You and will follow Your every step”.

That started a wonderful journey of experiencing an unfolding of mysteries for my life…..

It all started very normal but in my heart, I knew it was something different and significant. I made a decision to join the Apostolic Programme Intake 12 (a training for ministers of God from all over the world, hosted by World Harvest Church - my dear church). It was a wonderful time soaking in God’s presence hence came to the final few days and that is when God started to reveal more and more things to come. It was a life-changing experience and you bet I was glad and happy!

Oh well, May 1^st was a turning point when I made decisions after decisions after few confirmations from God Himself. September 1^st 2010 was the Day I took the step of faith to move into the greater thing my dear Father in Heaven as set before me.

These pictures represent the thanksgiving-ness of my heart to God throughout the year. I rejoice in good and happy times, I also rejoice in adversities and challenges. A heart that is thanksgiving releases the Kingdom of God at where I am.

From Ashes to Beauty

2010-11-01T06:59:00.000-07:00

A simple song that's very meaningful. At the cross, the greatest love and grace is displayed and because of that, I am able now to trade ashes into beauty! One that is faithful and long lasting which will never fade away.

Lately, I've been really lethargic and tired physically and mentally. One thing I know that allowed me to move on is His love and His assurance. Knowing of His forgiveness and mercy, my life just has another meaning and one that is so much higher than what I know. It something that is extraordinary even my mind is unable to comprehend. But because He remembers and His promises will come to past (in due time), I lay every burden down at the foot of the cross :)

Dwelling in His presence and soaking in His love is the greatest assurance in these days. Enjoy the song and allow His love to sink in.

Jesus Christ died for you because He loves you. God bless you

Beggar vs Royal Priesthoods

2010-10-14T01:03:00.000-07:00

Beggars exists in any part of the world, and I mean in any part - your workplace, your home, your apartment, your school, your college. I am not referring to the beggars that roam the streets begging for money to survive their day. We, so-called normal human beings are also beggars in our own ways.

I was having breakfast last Saturday and I saw a beggar sitting at the corner, as usual, begging for money while playing his harmonica. After the people had left and he thought that, it is enough for now, he started pouring out his money from his container and arranging it. Count...count....count... blue paper money aka RM1 and then comes the coins. He shook his head with discontentment and his face showed that he is not satisfied. In fact, he started speaking to himself-as though he is complaining and with that, he concludes his morning with a failure, packed his sack and walked out like a wretched person.

When I was witnessing him, the Holy Spirit spoke to me and said "well, there are many Christians who are behaving like a beggar too!" I was shocked so immediately, I repented for myself first in case I am a beggar in any part of my life.

A beggar begs for his life and with that, he never has more than enough to supply his needs or even a decent place to stay. The mentality of a beggar is a defeated and unwanted person. He complaints all the time and is never satisfied. I believe that when the Holy Spirit says that some Christians are like beggars, they are busy complaining instead of trusting in God and not satisfied with the blessings God has given them.

On the other hand, this is what the Bible says about us:
1 Peter 2:9
But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.

This is a beautiful and straight forward revelation! We, royal priesthoods have the authority and power like olden day Kings. With that, we are able to rule and reign with our Lord Jesus. Instead of begging (which will bring you no where) look at the verse and confess it until you rise up with such acknowledgment of who you are!

Remember, there are many who do not know about the LOVE of Jesus and you (if you're a "beggar") stop begging and rise up!! NOW is the time to act like a Royal Priesthood! His grace is sufficient and we have to be willing for a change!

Normal Is Boring

2010-09-10T23:52:00.000-07:00

I was wondering how to name this post, and here comes a van that passes by me with a sticker "Normal Is Boring" and *light bulb* ---> perfect title for this post. Thank You Jesus!

Our dear lives is a life that is so expensive. So expensive because the Lord Jesus paid it with His precious blood on the cross!

Why would a sound person or even a god do this? Sending His only Son! Well, think about it, imagine yourself as a parent and you have only one son or daughter. Would you give him or her up for a sacrifice that looks as if it is not worthy and innocent?

Ok, lets get back to reality! If your life is NORMAL, it is equaled to BORING! Get that?! That is because, the work that has been done on the cross with so much PASSION and LOVE for your life, is done with a GREAT EXPECTATION. When your life is just all about living it to the fullest via getting the 'best' results, getting the 'best' job, getting the 'best' partner in life, getting the 'best' home, getting the 'best' list goes on... is one without great expectation. Life is more than what you want to get 'best' for yourself...

The Lord Jesus died on the cross for us (yeps! even for those who do not believe or know Him yet) because He thought of you and me and everyone else living on this planet with an expectation.

Give you a scenario; try taking a needle and poke your fingers till it bleeds... foolish right? painful right? One thing running through your mind must be "who in the right state of mind would do such stuff?" Well, Jesus Christ did it!! You think it is easy to be hung on the cross? Having more than 3 inches of NAIL pierced through both his wrists and also one nail between both his ankles!! What is that compared to a prick of a needle?! Not only that, he was made to wear a crown of THORNS! Yeps, LITERALLY THORNS! Try taking a stem of roses and make it into a circle and put on your head with it's little thorns poking your head. It hurts! He was up on that cross for 6 hours!! Imagine doing NOTHING for 6 hours, that's painful enough!

(Romans 5:8) "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us"

Enough of the gruesome torture Jesus went through. Question is, why did He do that? Is He foolish? Mad? Well, the answer is... while He was on that cross, He only had one thing in mind ----> EXPECTATION!! He has a GREAT EXPECTATION for every life that would be on the face on this earth. This expectation came with great love and sacrifice.

(John 3:16) "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish aka die but have everlasting life"

Look at yourself and ponder for 5 minutes. Ask yourself, is my life a routine? Mundane? No excitement? Empty? Lost? Go on then to also ponder on the things you've been doing for the past 3 years and how much of it has come to past and also been really successful or fruitful? How much of those has given you a great sense of fulfillment up till today? (If it takes you more than 5 minutes, go ahead, but don't dwell for more than 30 minutes)

You know, to me...I used to think my life was like a 4-in-1 (copy, fax, scan & printer) machine where I have multiple functions but, everything is done in a routine like manner. Gosh! That's boring to me! haha... How about you? I hope this post has allowed your mind to open up "a bit" more to God and what He has for your life. Let me tell you, He has a GREAT thing for you because, He has placed a GREAT EXPECTATION on you.

Jesus said "when I go, you will do greater things than I did" and not to fear, He is always by your side. Another comforting thing Jesus said "I have chosen you to bear fruit and that your fruit would remain". Gosh....SO MUCH EXPECTATION there! Mahn, I won't want to disappoint His dying on the cross for me. I have pledged my life to always be led by the Spirit of God and that this life will never be a nominal one.

You can also pray that your life, you want it to be one that is fulfilled and never be a normal boring one. Once you have prayed that, be ready for a change. It's gonna be an awesome experience like no other. God bless you dearest readers that He will expand your hearts and mind to contain what He has prepared for you.

TRUST

2010-08-18T03:23:00.001-07:00

A major word used in today's world. A word that is so powerful that would determine who would be the people closest to you, the people you will do business with, the people you depend on, the people you know who looks to you and the list goes on and on and on......

Many a times, we look to another person to gain their trust or even in an organisation or a system. What fulfillment is there in doing so? Well, it may be fulfilling in terms of getting recognition, security and standing but how long will it last? What happens if all these starts to fail you?

I gave up trusting in all those mentioned above since the year 2003 because, putting trust in those things never got me far and never made me a better person. In fact, if you realise it in your own life, it actually eats up the joy, peace and love in your heart. What good is it to put your trust in men or systems or organisations or anything else?

I found the best person to put my trust in...well, none other than my Lord Jesus. I am not a religion freak but I am a freak in trusting my God. The moment I lay down all my worries, concerns and burden to start trusting in God, everything and I mean.... EVERYTHING just falls in place. What did I have to do?
1. Trust God (via prayer through faith)
2. Not worry unnecessarily and when worry does come, look to God
3. Not allow discouragement to lurk
4. Receive His grace and peace
the rest is history.... testimonies are made and more to come!

Psalm 9:10
Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you.

It is clear from the verse mentioned above that when you trust God, God will never leave you. This simply means the moment we place our trust in God and put away all of our thoughts, worries and concerns, God will come and take His place to handle and steer things for you.

For the past week, many things happened in a blink of an eye and major decisions for my life was made. Was I worried? You bet I was! Thankfully my focus diverted to my great God and He assured me that everything was gonna be given and this assurance was an assurance above an assurance He gave in the year 2008! Woohoo... How awesome is that? I placed my trust in the assurance the Lord has given and here comes my answered prayers! 3 huge answered prayers in just 4 days! I was filled with joy and more joy and more more joy! (if you want to know what are those 3 areas, contact me and I shall tell you more in detail)

When you trust in God, automatically you are actually putting faith in God. With faith, miracle happens - prayers answered - ways paved - that will all lead to having hope in what will come next. Trust here is so infectious that it affects your next decision and your next step. Trust here is so infectious that it causes you to look to God in a different way. Trust here is so infectious that you wouldn't want to place your trust in anything else. Trust here is so infectious that you will lead an abundant life.

What would you do when you are placed in a situation where you do not have anyone to trust or worse, anything that you do, it doesn't work. The answer is here:

Psalm 62:8
Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.

Yeps! There you go... Come join me in living a victorious and abundant life. I would love to tell you more, but there is so much I can type here. Well, don't wait... just try it out yourself by believing in the God that I love, Jesus Christ and you will know and experience it, then, you will never have trust issues anymore!

Cheers mates & God bless you
=D

*God loves you so much that He has placed His trust on you to do great things*

Love like fire

2010-07-21T10:48:00.000-07:00

Title is from Hillsong's latest Album (A Beautiful Exchange). A very nice song that touches the heart and allows the fire to keep burning for Him.

I was reading the ending part of Matthew (Chapter from the Bible) and it was how Jesus got betrayed thus being sent to be hung on the cross. Was touched at how persistent He was on that cross to endure such pain because of ONE decision, SALVATION!

Dear God, thank You for your wonderful love shown on that cross and to endure such pain for the sake of our salvation. Your love is like a fire that burns for all to see, my only desire is to worship at your feet, so let this fire consume my life! Amen!

May the minister to your heart! God bless you

New Life

2010-06-05T07:35:00.000-07:00

Greetings!

Been so busy and occupied that I do not have the time to pen down revelations and new understanding the Lord has been revealing. Maybe one day I will remember them and pen it down. As for now, I'll get on with what's the latest .... here goes ... buckle up! _____________________________________________________________________ Well, to many the word "New Life" sounds weird or unfamiliar but to some, it is a norm. How much does a person know what's New Life all about? New Life is not about:

Turning around from a problem, moving away from difficulty, new journey in life, new ventures, new hope, enjoying blessings, enjoying manifestations of God, realising your sins, serving more in Church, becoming a Christian, getting baptised and the list goes on.

Technically, many of the above is linked to New Life but that is NOT what New Life is all about. We humans are so attracted to the tangible benefits and benefits that "soothes" the eyes or even the heart.

In actual fact, New Life is mainly WANTING God to change your life to a life that He has; walking in the will and purpose of God; WANTING to experience Him in different ways; WANTING to be a victorious person!

Let me remind you that wanting a New Life involves Jesus Christ in every area of your life. He comes in to take over not to dictate or restrict us but rather because He loves us so much and knows us so well that He wants to give us the best. BUT...... We must WANT!! I learn this word WANT from a youth leader in church today and I was pondering on that word and it is very powerful!

This year has been a challenging year in a very different way than previous years. Making firm decisions, pondering on God's promises, discerning what's installed for me and learning to go through obstacles and challenges with firm foundation on Him. Well, one thing I realise, my heart just WANT more of Him and WANT to learn His ways, WANT to improve self, WANT to do more for lives and etc.. At times I am like the person in the Bible when he says "I believe, but please help my unbelief". Nonetheless, I stand firm in Him and know that He has a great Life for me to live on this Earth.

Look around you today. Read the newspaper lately? Know what's going on in your nation? State? City? District? Town? Neighborhood? I don't have to elaborate more and you know what's going on. A person with New Life would feel that there's greater achievement in life than gaining wealth, better "health", satisfaction of traveling or breaking of records, being famous or just living life to the fullest. Living with New Life everyday is such an amazing, fulfilling, and enriching journey a person can go through.

Never try never know! A Christian would tell you, you have to invite Jesus into your life to experience a New Life. Let me tell you, Yes that is right because Jesus said "I am the giver of Life" "I am the way, the truth and the life" "Believe in me and you will have an abundant life". I've experience every bit of what I mentioned earlier and until today, it hasn't stop. Believing in The Giver of Life (Jesus Christ) entitles you to a New Life that would be a life changing experience that you will never regret.

Well, to some, I may sound "Churchy" or just another "conversion" talk... Nope! This is not about that, this is a plain challenge to you to know Him and what He has installed for you. You will start to experience awesome stuff that words cant describe. Like I said, never try never know!

As for those who already have Him in your life, live life like you're supposed to and not chicken out from the reality of life that you have to face. "He who is in you is greater than he that is in the world"! You have Jesus in you and whatever that comes, you must WANT to overcome it! You must WANT more of Him!

Anyway, in these days what can satisfy you more? Think about...... He is knocking at the door of your heart, and if you let Him in, He will come in and dine with him.... God bless you and I pray that you're touched... Ask me if you want to know more.

*God loves you*

Who are you?

2010-04-09T09:08:00.000-07:00

How significant are you?

It's been some time since the last I wrote something here. Been busy with many things - Apostolic Programme, work, getting back to ministry and now, fasting & prayer together with Vision Seminar. It's been a life of going, moving, and advancing forward! There isn't time to stop at all, well, there's time to take a break (but trust me, very short while) and then back on your feet and GO!

What are the motivations that allows you to move forward with such determination and enthusiasm?! What are the benefits of going forward like that?! Why commit so much to the expansion of God's kingdom?!

We are created in Christ to do good works! We are called by God to bear fruits and that our fruits will remain! He has anointed me to proclaim the Good News, set the captives free, heal the broken hearted & proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord!

It is not an easy journey as it seems but by acknowledging that we as humans are very limited thus depending on God allows a person to do things that are greater than their own expectations! The joy and peace of the Lord will come upon those who does what God wants and walking in the will of God is THE best way to live an abundant life!

No matter how many challenges that are infront of us, no matter how we feel, no matter how bad we are, no matter how hopeless our methods are --- It is not YOU THAT MATTERS! It is God! So whatever you are feeling when you are in this journey, know that it is not about you but about God and that He loves His children and WANTS to give blessings to YOU and those who doesnt know Him.

Because people need to know Him, because people need to be delivered, because people need to know His love!!!! These are the main reasons why we cannot back down. God has given us the authority and an authority that is so powerful and high -- do not waste it! do not misuse it!

I love who I am today because the Lord has called me to be a Royal Priesthood, a Holy Nation, a Chosen Generation and His special people! Why would I not do what He wants me to do? What about you? Have you thought of it? Why have you backed down? Why have you allowed yourself to feel discouraged? Why have you always seeking for attention or understanding from people? Look back at the verse!

We should rise up and be who we are supposed to be. Soaking in His wonderful presence, speaking about His wonderful mercy and grace, ministering with the power of God and not waste anymore time!

Let me share with you 3 types of Christians:

Type 1:
Malnutrition Christians
These are Christians who by name are Christians and are not allowing themselves to be fed by the Word of God. They do not have a consistent or close relationship with God therefore there isn't any power of God that flows out of them. They are also those Christians who will face many problems in life and do not know how to get out of it.

Type 2:
Obese Christians
These are Christians who are not victorious either. They spend too much time with God and in the comfort of a prayer lifestyle only and not giving out what God has given them. They will tend to feel not satisfied and live in their own so-called "prayer life". These kind of Christians tends to fall into Self-Righteousness.

Type 3:
Fit Christians
A fit person is a person who has a balanced lifestyle and sufficient receiving and giving attitude. A fit Christians are those who are victorious and recognises their authority! One who does not only spend time with God consistently but rather they minister consistently as well. One who experiences the power of God and demonstrates it too thus having to have many testimonies to share.

Golden Question: Which one are you?

It is time for us to realise all these and thus putting our petty issues away because, if you think you are bad, there are people who are in worse situation needing the intervention from God through YOU! There's no time to waste and may this time of "boot-camping" while fasting & prayer reveal to you many hidden things that God has for you.

I end with saying, no one is worthy of His works but it is ALL by His grace!! Remember that!! God bless you!!

Temporary Home

2010-02-11T23:23:00.000-08:00

Listen to the song first before reading my post :) (sorry, I don't want to provide lyrics coz the song says it all and it's great to enjoy together with the tune & melody)

The song is a story itself and it's awesome how the boy knows that this world he is living in is not his permanent home. Therefore, living in a temporary home requires you to think and know about the real purpose of being here. Why temporary? What comes after that?

Well, the video and lyrics speaks a whole lot and I shall not elaborate from there. Everytime I listen to it, I remember my mom who's in a much better place which I call it THE PERMANENT HOME. I miss her lots but I know my quest and purpose on Earth has not been done yet. Still a long way to go.

I just learned that the Tiger year for this CNY is not a very good year for many things such as marriage, political arena and even economically. Well, no offense...but since ages ago, I never liked all this "superstitions". (To those who believes, I am sorry for being very straight forward here and voicing out my belief) When I read of all these in magazines, newspapers and even listening to people talking about it, they are so fearful of the things that are installed for them in the year of a Tiger (metal Tiger it seems). I began to feel sad thinking that they are missing out blessings that God has promised them.

Allowing your mind to be hindered with all these superstitions are unhealthy (literally) to your body, spirit and soul. You will tend to be fearful when doing many things in your life therefore, unable to fulfill the purpose you are here on the Temporary Home.

The Lord Jesus has broken all curses and all bondages meaning - free from bad luck, bad feng shui, bad days, bad marriages, bad economic and even unlucky moment. This enables us to live free in this Temporary Home knowing that we are here to fulfill what God has placed us here to be and then making our way to the PERMANENT HOME in Heaven. You will go with a smile and peace in your heart.

My mother left us at the age of 49 years old which makes me 22 years old and I wondered why so early? I looked back and I talked with God, and I know that her life has been a impactful life towards the people in her circle of influence: family, relatives, subordinates and even those under her at work. I would say, everything that I have heard so far from everyone who came for the WAKE spoke real good things of her and deep in my heart I could feel that Jesus is happy with it. It was time for her to go and I dont blame anyone or anything for it. Her life on this temporary home is over because she has graduated to a permanent Home - HEAVEN.

As much as I love and miss my mother very much, God loves and misses you too! Don't think that God is such a divine being that cant relate with us. WRONG! He relates with all of us all the time. Are you open for Him to relate with you? Do you want to know more about this temporary home and what you're doing here and thereafter to shift to your permanent home?

Simple, pray this prayer: Lord Jesus, I thank You for Your wonderful love for my life. Now I know and want to confess that this place that I am in is only a temporary home and I want to know You to be able to move into a better place when it's time. Forgive my sins and wrong doings, cleanse me with Your blood and make me whole. Come into my life and make me the person you want me to be. Thank You for your goodness and greatness. In Your name I pray, Amen!

2005 Mummy's US Trip

2010 - For You & I

2010-01-30T07:11:00.000-08:00

30th January! 30 days passes by us in a glimpse. How has your 2010 been? Experiencing the same ol' stuff or even feeling nothing special or significant? Whether you know it or not, 2010 for everyone is gonna be a great year (at least to those who believes so will receive it) where we'll see great happenings (naturally & spiritually) allowing ourselves to review our lives even more to allign with what God has.

2009 ended awesomely for me. Graduated with a high 2nd upper, got a job immediately when I got back to Malaysia, experiencing a personal revival in ministry, favor up favor in every form and most of all, falling in deeper understanding and love with my one and only God, Jesus Christ. Allowing my life to be led by God is just a stressless and easy journey. Everything was just paved as I walk with Him. All these is preparing me for 2010. As I prayed, I know deep in my heart that 2010 is not only a great year for me, but for you too! Who are you? Well, anyone who calls themselves HUMANS! Why I say so? Well, somehow or another, if you're reading this Blog, highly likely you're related to me and those who are related to me are those whom God is going to touch and bless because that is my heart's desire! =)

As I move into 2010, a significant year for me as I embark into a new phase in life, revelations has been revealed to me one by one through pastors teachings/preachings/sharing and even as I walk with Him, it's just being revealed. Let me share: God is NOT a one-off God where He does things in that particular manner only and that is what you might want to expect the second time. NO! You're wrong! He is a God that keeps to His promises and brings down answered prayers and delivers blessings ALL THE TIME. Everyday I abide in His promises and blessings just flows because it is there for me to take!

As I said earlier, 2010 is for you and I! Not ME only! C'mon! Christians are not the only people who are entitled to God's blessing. He loves you, He loves the broken, He loves the sick, He loves the distorted, He loves the possessed...(the list goes on) The Bible says "God is love". Lately in prayer, I have been shedding tears for those in Haiti, my family members, my friends and even those whom are far related with me because, I can't do much to help them knowing that this is my limitation but I know that as I pray, God answers and hears me & treasures my tears thus promissing me that He will touch them. He hears your cries to. What are your cries? Please omit cries for a new handphone, cries for As in exams, cries for a holiday or even cries for a life partner. That is just shallow... cry out for higher things and you will see all these met in due time. These little hidden things you do in your "private closet" makes a huge different to your life - what are you crying for 2010?
------------------------------

Let me share with you a parable "Josephine's Haystack parable" (disclaimer: Not taken from the Bible but rather received a revelation from the Holy Spirit)

A needle in a haystack - Sometimes we feel that we're like a needle in a haystack, lost in the world of HAYS! Being a small metal piece in the midst of HAYS! Mahn! Don't you think that the world today is equivalent to HAYS? Full of HAYS! Though at times you may think that you are drowned, remember that God thinks that you are HIGHLY capable and able to stand out! To be able to move into what God has called you to do, what God has promised you, what God has said to you for the year, how to accept that 2010 is a great year and how to believe in God, you HAVE to STAND OUT! Stand out NOT only in the midst of physical HAYS but also internal HAYS! (Woohoo.... you know that you have Internal Hays??!! Go figure!!) Being a needle in a haystack is still very significant just as you are significant in the midst of the world you're living in.

[The needle (inset) from this angle stands out from the Hays]

I pray that God will touch and reveal to you truths of His in ways that is beyond your expectation that you would be able to stand out IN your world and to make a difference! This will then allow you to have a great 2010 and a very significant one in your life. If you do not know Him, let me tell you that this is not just a mere story of trying to sound like an extremist, I challenge you to give Jesus a chance to make a change in your life. You will NEVER regret it. Just like me! Your life will never be the same again! Enormous things are coming your way....

Jeremiah 33:3 "Call to Me, I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know"

You're Invited back...

2009-12-30T19:05:00.000-08:00

It's been a tiring yet great month. Blogging for my last time for this year, I would say that 2009 has been a preparation for a greater year ahead in 2010. It's gonna be so awesome that it will rock the bottom of your hearts out to shout of His name and to know Him even more. It's gonna be so unbelievable as His love showers upon all in a marvelous way as well. Supernatural happenings will take place in different lives whether you've known Him, haven't known Him, forgotten Him, want to know Him, seeking for Him etc.

During the Christmas Celebration at WHC & TVS, one thing I have seen is how God's love move into lives and how lives are being transformed and touched. God is moving hearts to experience His love even those who are defiant and denies His love. Some may not even deny, in fact knows about it but yet thinks that it is not for them. This is not the truth. The Love of God is for all.

Brian Littrell's "Welcome Home" single is a great expression of how God's love is welcoming anyone who wants to come to Him. May 2010 be a year where you would know Him even more and proceed with the plans He has placed in your life. I know, I will enjoy mine superbly!

Happy New Year & may the Lord bless you greatly! Enjoy the video (MV)

Here's the song:

"Welcome Home (You)"

When I left home to be who I am
Some people said "No Way"
But I laid it all down, gave everything
In my head rang the words that my father said

You're never far
I will be where you are
and when you come to me
I will open my arms

Welcome Home, you
I know you by name
How do you do?
I shine because of you today
So come and sit down
Tell me how you are
I know son, it's good just to see your face.

When I look at you holding my heart
I will give to you all that I have
Son I know there'll be times
You will feel all alone
I will share with you the words my father said

You're never far
I will be where you are
and when you come to me
You can bet I will open my arms

Welcome Home, you
I know you by name
How do you do?
I shine because of you today
So come and sit down
Tell me how you are
I know son, it's good just to see your face

Said I've been waiting for that day
Just to feel your warm embrace
Your love has shown
I will never be alone
You will welcome me home

I'll forever be
You will say to me
Welcome Home, you
I know you by name
How do you do?
I shine because of you today
So come and sit down
Tell me how you are
I know son, it's good just to see your face

When I left home to be who I am
Some people said "No Way"

The Unfailing Love

2009-11-22T09:46:00.000-08:00

Have you ever wonder whether Love has it's boundaries? Or whether love has it's limits? Let me tell you, I have NEVER wondered BUT experienced it for myself and at that point, I felt so drained and eventually kinda useless. Gosh..

Well, I seldom talk outwardly about the love that I receive and experience nowadays in a very "soft, loving, tender, gentle" manner but in different ways BUT today, I want to share with you what's going on and what God has been showing me.

It started 6 years ago when I started my tertiary studies and I rented a place to stay nearby the college. That place that I went to, for the 1st time to check it out before sealing the deal, I felt comfortable and satisfied with it. My parents and I paid a visit and there were 3 wonderful ladies welcoming us and treating us so nicely with the HUGE WIDE smiles. It was unforgetable because that was the START of a new and awesome journey for me.

Later, I signed the deal and took the spot in that house. There were many experience of love that I went through back there (heaps and heaps of it) in fact, it seemed like a tsunami of love! So sacrificial, genuine and tangible! At that time, I didnt know it was God's love because I didnt know Him. I went back to where I came from and friends asked me how was that new place I was at and I replied "I'm SUFFERING!!" They were SHOCKED! "Why and what are you suffering from?" They asked. I replied, "Suffering from TOO MUCH OF LOVE!"

Honestly speaking, it was too overwhelming that I couldnt understand it. I went through an unsignificant incident in the LRT and having them to understand me, support me with unconditional love was shocking! They didnt expect anything from me (nope! not even a thank you) and I could feel that it was done from the heart. I went down in tears many times. to cut the story short, it was God's touch on my life until I gave my life to Jesus. (Well, to some, it seems very religious or very Jesus-sy but it's the truth and fact that I have experienced)

In life, I have never understood the real meaning of love. I have shown love in various ways with my own ability, "know-how" and ways but I dont see what I want to see or feel what I should feel. In fact, I love until I felt unloved....I love until I was drained....I love until I was warned out....dissappointed...up til a point, I GAVE UP! I felt that "to love is a waste of tim" because nothing good is coming out of it. Thank God at that verge of my life I found Jesus whom has thought me the REAL meaning of Love.

I am a human capable of loving but with limitations! (plural) I am a human capable of loving but with many boudaries! (plural also) BUT I know that God has NO limitations or boundaries. No matter how many times I fail Him, He is there STILL loving me and caring for my every need. That is where I learnt to love my enemies, love those are weak, love those who are ungrateful, love the lost, love every person and most of all loving Him.

"You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul and mind; and you shall love your neighbour as yourself" (The Great Commandment)

I shall bring you to another truth the Lord has shown after bringing back all this into my remembrance.

I was watching The Biggest Loser on Astro on a few nights and God spoke to me through what was happening. Well, it is how these people (obese individuals) decide on coming onto the show. To be honest, the money isnt very attractive as many other reality shows/games. They join the programme with ONE focus, ONE vision and ONE primary purpose ONLY, which is to LOSE weight. They are mainly weighing more than 300pounds! That's Nutz! Anyway... many of them, doctor have told them that their health are in jeopardy (some even-matter of life or death) and the famous reasons they give is "I want to lose weight and be here for my family. I want to see my kids grow up and go to college and to be there with them....etc etc etc"

It was just so moving eventhough it sounds very "common". Let me tell you, this is a human's capability of showing love through sacrifice and determination (no doubt it is not wrong) but love is beyond this and God revealed. See how they are so determine to lose weight (most of them lose more than 100pounds at the end of the show) and they achieve it. Imagine, with God's empowering and truth of His Word? It would be multiplied!

Matthew 7:11 "If you then, being evil (humans aren't perfect), know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!"

2 John 5: 14 "Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us"

God reminded me of how He has shown His love for my treacherous life before knowing Him and the life after knowing Him. He has blessed me in many areas - spiritual growth, revelations, spiritual gifts, influence, prosperity, wisdom, power, family, friends and more more to list. That's because He loves me so much that whatever I ask, He will give. He wont give me stone when I ask for bread! Never once I was dissappointed with God when I request something from Him which is bound to happen with humans (You gotta agree with me in this... :p)

As much as human-ly as we are, it is not impossible to show love as what God has shown. It is definitely NOT because the love that the Lord has shown is UNFAILING and it will be shown through our lives despite of our inabilities, incapabilities, weaknesses and limitations WITH ONE condition, loving Him above all else!

Just like a father in The Biggest Loser decides to join the show, doing it for his children, God the Father has sacrificed His ONLY Son in order that we all know His love and redemption. That's the Unfailing love...

I hope that you would be blessed to know this unfailing, unconditional and limitless love that I am speaking about. It is not some fairy tale or fiction story. It's a story from my own life and with that, I really pray that you will experience the same. Give me a buzz if you want to know more, I am more than glad to share.

God bless you

Teacher of All Seasons

2009-11-03T08:33:00.000-08:00

Teachers are great people in life. That's because a huge part of our lives are actually depending on them (about 20 years) since kindergarten up til we graduate with a Degree (or perhaps furthering to Masters-PHD). This job requires a whole lot of themselves to be able to teach not only by head knowledge but also incorporate life experiences (whether good or bad) which comes through tough times and challenges. It is an honorable position to be chosen to stand infront potential lives that would take over the country and determine the future of the nation, teaching, educating and imparting knowledge, values and a whole bunch of stuff into the students.

In the Bible, Jesus was a Teacher to 12 of His disciples and He did it within 3 years imparting everything the people need to know and teaching them how to preach the Gospel and minister to the citizens. It wasn't easy because, Jesus had to face persecutions, misunderstandings and negative responses from those He preached. Eventhough the end results was great, people were sceptical of Him and started accusing Him.

Relating this to natural teachers on this earth, it is also the same. No one is perfect like God and no one can perform what everyone would like them to be. I appreciate how teachers are persevering through tough times that demands them to learn how to deliver their subject to the current generation (and not forgetting, it changes very frequently). Yet, they still get persecuted (maybe not like how Jesus experienced) in a modern way and being treated unfairly. I've seldom seen them quit their job (of teaching) when facing these situations.

In fact, their passion and enthusiasm of having people to learn more than just what it is written in notes and books, to experience what the world is experiencing, it involves more hard work. I'm also in a way a teacher of the Word. And to teach the Word, preparations, prayers and also spiritual understanding is required to be able to see insight on what God is saying. It is not an easy job and I always pray like what the Bible says "let those who have eyes see and ears hear".

Like I said earlier, to be a teacher is also a calling (given by God) as not many have the gift or wisdom to teach. The Bible speaks about those who teach would have greater judgement only defined as an honorable position (not saying in a negative point of view).

I am very thankful for all my teachers (lecturers, tutors, leaders, pastors etc) in my entire stage of my study life especially the closing part of it in College and Uni. It was such a humbling stage learning from all of them. None of them are perfect but each of them have something special and authentic to give and gives me an honor to learn from them. No doubt, I've gotten some impartation throughout the exposure with them and my best wishes are with them. I pray for them all the time that they will be greater individuals in their own way to make an impact creating better people in the future.

Dear Teachers: You know you are in a great position, a position that is bestowed by God to teach people and put in them something special that you obtain throughout your own life. Let not discouragement pull you down or even negativity clover your mind that binds you from moving towards reaching where you should be. You've impacted this one soul and I am sure you have done it to many other individuals (whether they showed you gratitude or not). Look towards your "finish line" and run this race with joy and peace. My prayers are with you in anything and everything.

God bless you all always...with Love, Josephine Ng =)

It's Your Love

2009-10-12T02:47:00.000-07:00

This song has moved my heart everytime I listen to it. It's due to God's love that places me at where I am today. Eventhough I have disappointed Him many times and even failing His standards many times, His love endures forever. His grace has been on me no matter what, His guidance is never ending...It's all because of His love....

Dear God, I dedicate this sing to You and with all gratitude in my heart, I thank You for everything You've done for me and will do. Dear friends, I pray that you will know how much God loves you =)

[Verse 1:]
Upon the hill of Calvary
He came from heaven's throne
Our fallen-ness and mercy meet
Where blood and water flow

[Verse 2:]
What grace divine
What selflessness
That Christ would bear the weight
Our proof is scarred
On hands that bled
That we were worth every nail

[Chorus:]
All the praise and glory to God
We sing hallelujah
Sing hallelujah
For the King has carried the cross
He is risen from the grave

[Verse 3:]
[ Hillsong Church Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
Beyond the tomb to holy skies
He rose in victory
And bridged for us
The great divide
His life is ou liberty

[Bridge:]
Your love
It's Your love
It's Your love that has saved me
Your blood
It's Your blood
It's Your blood that has claimed me

We sing hallelujah
All the earth cry out hallelujah
With the angels sing hallelujah
Jeusus Christ is King

[Tag:]
We give everything
To you alone

In the darkness

2009-10-04T11:23:00.000-07:00

Many times in my life I face darkness. Darkness in my studies, relationships, future & many other matters. Honestly, these times aren't easy for me to go through but nonetheless there's always a way awaiting me to take to come out of these situations. Deep in my heart, I know there's a way through all these because I believe in God whom makes a way even in the hardest situations.

You might not experience the same - maybe you experience in your health or the sins that you have been committing? *woot* well, yeahh that is part of darkness...It comes in many forms and only you know it well enough.

All of us commit sin whether knowingly or unknowingly everyday in our lives and as it accumulates the result is death (as mentioned in the Bible). Well, I would say, in darkness - comes opportunity for light to shine - shine even brighter - and darkness shall not be able to prevail. The Bible calls Christians to be a light to the world shining brightly giving hope and spreading salvation all over the Earth but at times, while we are doing so, we are also facing a dilemma within ourselves and wonder why when we are helping others out of darkness, I am facing one too? Well, the other way round is also true. When there is light, it gives opportunity for darkness that is why buildings are lit with many lights to brighten up the place, which applied in our lives. When we want happiness, we always long for it for an extended period of time but unknowingly or maybe at times, knowingly, it doesn't happen that way. I learnt that darkness can vanish when I am constantly shining the light. Being constant is being patient, determined and putting a lot of faith in Him.

People will always blame situations, circumstances and even the people around them but not looking at themselves first. Does blaming or pointing fingers help to solve the issue? Certainly NOT. In fact, it allows the person to drop even further into the matter - the further you go in the hole, the darker it gets and the harder it is to get out. You have to come to realisation that there is always a solution for any matter and it subjects to a person's will and choice in making the decision. The world today is in the midst of experiencing darkness. Think of the war-raded countries, disaster hit countries, poverty stricken countries and compare it with the situation you are facing, you must admit, it is nothing compared to it.

Jesus came to give us life that we shall have it abundantly. LIFE! You can't have a dark life..you want a bright life. Look to God and trust Him that whatever you are going through, you will be able to come out it. "Recharge your batteries to shine brighter for Him". The world needs everyone of us to shine and lit the world back to it's bright days again! Remember, darkness CANNOT stay because when there is light, darkness HAS to leave. Don't believe me? Try litting a candle in a dark room, then increase to 2 candles, 3-4-5-6-7 and eventually when you have a room filled with litted candles, what do you get?

My dear friends, I've known this truth because I have been through it and coming out of it allows me to shine even brighter (all by God's strength). I don't see those dark times to be a negative thing because it made me who I am today and I thank God for believing in me to come out of it. You can too! Start praying prayers that allows you to understand and comprehending situations and circumstances that you are facing. You will begin to look at it in a very different manner. My prayer for you is that you will continue to shine and not let darkness hover you down.

God bless you

It's been a wonderful and blessed 3 months here in Liverpool. A land (The UK) that is mad about soccer and drinking and partying.

Thanks to my dear leader for this lovely videos. Read about this guy (Nick Vujicic) before and this is my first time watching his videos. It's really inspiring and eye-opening.

Know that you are VERY fortunate and blessed. If God can bless him, I am sure you are not lesser than he is. Dont look down at yourself neither do you look down at God. Things will come your way sooner or later... Enjoy these videos...

Louis Giglio: How Great is our God

2009-08-01T05:37:00.000-07:00

Dear readers,

I feel that this is the right time to share this video for some reasons that I am not so sure about as I just obey the prompt in my heart. And if you're going to watch this (eventhough you have watched it previously) I believe strongly that God has something greater to speak to you. God has been so BIG & GREAT and He still is (that's the best part) but most of the time, we do not know, we do not remember or even realise it.

He is bigger than your problems, your situations, your life, the earth, the planets, the galaies and even the universe. Why? Because He is the creator of all these things. If He is a Creator, I am sure the Creator is larger than His creations. What do you think? Well, I shall let the video do it's talking.

As you watch (whether you believe in God or not) keep your heart open and don't doubt while watching, just watch and give your full attention to it, lastly, ponder on what the preacher says. This is not about asking you to convert or be religious, it is about recognising that this world needs to know how great God is to believe for a change to happen.

Prayer:
God, thank You for being such a great and mighty God that I have never known. I am sorry for neglecting Your Greatness and for doubting life all the time. Open my eyes to experience Your greatness after listening to it and teach me how to live a life trusting in Your mighty hands that would lead me through being blessed. I offer my life again to You God that You take control of every area in my life and help me to identify those areas that has been hidden and not dealt with that I may experience true freedom and peace. Thank You for loving me and for Your blessings. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.

This is a simple yet touching and meaningful song. Listen to it and be touched. It allows me to reflect on God and realising that God is too huge and I dont know Him enough. I just want to know Him more.

This song was a great companion while doing my assignment as it allows me to think and rely on God fully without worrying.

Song written and sung by GMB (Indonesian Christian Band)

I hope you were blessed .... Stay blessed and my prayer for you is that you would know God more in many different ways... His love endures forever :)

Live Life to the Fullest

2009-07-22T16:38:00.000-07:00

This phrase in such a time is a weird thing to say. But looking around my life, the people I meet, the people I know, the people who passes me everyday, the people on the streets, in their homes, in coffee shops.... sometimes I wonder whether "is their life fulfilled? are they suffering? are they bitter?" to name a few questions only.... We take life for granted and not knowing that it is so precious every moment til we meet an unwanted situation then regrets starts to fill in.

I went through that stage before when my mom lost her battle with cancer but one thing I am glad is that I dont have any regrets and I am sure to have known life better learning from my mom's life and connecting to what the Bible says. Everything that the Bible says is very true and not til I experienced it, only did I know.

I was watching a movie called "Tuesdays with Morrie" and I just shed tears throughout 80% of the movie. It's just so touching and meaningful. Recommended to watch or read the book.

Mitch in the story is a person who goes along with the fast paced life being a reporter and also engrossed in his work that he forgets to appreciate his girlfriend and also his own life. Not until he found out that his favourite professor is dying of a terminal disease, he spends every Tuesday with him and has lessons about life. That is where his perception towards life changed forever. Just to let you know, this is based on a true story. I am sure, there are some of you who faced such happenings in life whether it is literally such or not. Watch and reflect on your own life, make a change and do not look back but forward.

Jesus has come to give life to those who wants it, and it is given abundantly. A purpose that is very fulfilling and meaningful that will change the course of your life to a more exciting journey is a guarantee that the Bible gives. Why wait until the very last minute to make a U-Turn in your life? Trust me, it is not a nice feeling at all and I have seen with my own eyes. My mother has embraced the happiness and fulfillment in life and found out that it is not all about money, fame and natural satisfaction but rather moving towards meeting the need of those needies, showing love and care to those who needs it, living life in a positive note and many more. She surrendered her life to Jesus the day before she left earth to eternity and I am happy that she left with a smile - peacefully.

Though it has been 2 years since she's gone to be with the Lord, the lessons of life taught by God through my mother's life is very vivid in my heart and mind. There is nothing I would trade in for a fulfilled life being a Christian. God bless you all readers and may the Lord open your eyes to see the beauty of life on this earth.

Living For Your Glory

2009-07-12T07:06:00.000-07:00

I hope that this song will be an inspiration as a dedication of your life to God for His glory.

here are the lyrics:

Verse 1:
What good is it to gain the whole world
But lose your soul?
What good is it to make a sweet sound
But remain proud?
In view of God's mercy
I offer my all

Chorus:
Take my life let it be everything, all of me
Here I am use me for Your glory
In everything I say I do, let my life honor You
Here I am living for Your glory

Verse 2:
The road I'm on it leads nowhere without You
And the life I live it finds meaning, in surrender
In view of God's mercy
I offer my all

Bridge:
Seeking first the Kingdom
Seeking first the Kingdom of my Lord
Seeking first the Kingdom
Seeking first the Kingdom of my Lord

Why am I here?

2009-07-05T15:59:00.000-07:00

This question has been ringing in my mind for the past few days or maybe the week and I did share some stuff during cellgroup. I love to think about this question as it will just re-affirm my existence here on this beautifully created world.

Why am I here? I ask myself and I was having a chat with God about it too. Things happening around the world, namely; 9-11, Iraq war, Tsunami, Hurricanes at US, SARS, SiChuan Earthquake, H1N1 and many other happenings in this time that I am here and that I am able to witness it. It just hurts my hearts that many lives are just being taken away innocently by all this happenings and I just wonder why. Why do I have to see and feel all this things? As I was talking to God about it, one thing just came into my mind - I am the salt and light to the world! The gospel & love of God has to be spread to all people on this earth.

Many of deprived of hope, love, assurance, peace, safety, acceptance, strength, understanding and tolerance. The world is advancing fast into many things and it is also falling very fast in many sense. It is driven by the lust for wealth, fame and pleasure. It just takes one act of kindness and love to a life and that life will be touched forever. God works in mysterious ways and I pondered upon that. Eversince I am here in Liverpool, the Lord has been working in my life in mysterious ways that I never imagined or could even ask for. All I did was just send requests to heaven and obeyed whatever He said.

Jeremiah says (33:3) "Call to me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know". I did exactly as what this verse says and I got my answer to what the Lord says great and mighty things that I do not know. As time flies and it's already early July, I know deeply why am I here in Liverpool - besides just getting my Degree certificate but things that God wants me to see and experience. As I go along my journey in life, it won't be easy but I know that as I have a foot into what God has for me to be a perculiar person to be a blessing to people around me, I WILL.

Challenges and difficulties are always in my way whether is it on the outside or even in my ownself, I know that by knowing my purpose here just boosts me further to do more for God. I will seek His kingdom and His righteousness and God will add to me anything and everything. I just hope that Christians out there will ponder and talk to God about the purpose of your existence here on earth. You are special and important-you must know that! Whether you are a Christian or not, your life here on earth is a SIGNIFICANT one! Jesus died for us because He knows that we are very special people and made us child of God. I am happy to be one. Are you?

Ephesians 1:11
"it's in Christ that we find out whoe wea re and what we are living for. Long before we first heard of Christ and got our hopes up, He had His eyes on us, for glorious living, part of the overall purpose he is working out in everything and everyone"

Who are you and why are you here? Listen to this song, and I hope it inspire you to think further...by Casting Crowns

Runaway Love

2009-06-22T17:01:00.000-07:00

This is a song that I was moved when a friend of mine recommended me to listen. Am glad that she gave me the song to listen and as I watch the video, it moved my heart even more knowing that what's happening in the video is not just a creation but it is real. Where is the love? Where is the consideration? Oh God! You gotto do something..this is my heart's desire.

As I listen to the songs and watch the video, it flashes back to people I know who went through or are going through the similar happenings as in the video and it just makes me cry out to God even more. People need the Lord!

Here is the song by Ludacris Feat Mary J. Blige with Runaway Love

I pray that God will move your heart to see beyond your own life and to think of others. Thinking and being moved is the first step to what you want to do in your life.

A quote from the Bible "I have come that they may have life and have it more abundantly"

The creative & mighty God

2009-06-16T16:55:00.000-07:00

These are some beautiful shots taken that reminds me of how awesome God is and how creative He can get. One thing in common that I said when seeing this is "God, You're just simply beautiful and marvelous".

Knowing how great and big God is only makes me more confident and dependant on Him in all that I do. Nothing in life is easy to move on with, but having the mighty God, all things just seems small and possible.

Ponder at the picture and put yourself in the picture knowing that God is so mighty and huge yet He is so close with us, treating us as His children. This thought is just awesome to me and I love it. [Romans 8:35 - Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?] He is not too busy, neither too lazy, too occupied or even too tired and bored to be with us rather, He does all He can to be with us and to enjoy loving us vice versa where God enjoys our love towards Him.

You see, these 3 pictures above shows 3 different perspective of how great God is. Know what I mean? Look again and ponder.. I am sure you'll get what I mean after looking at it again. God is watching over us 24-7 even to the softest murmur in our hearts. Know that God hears you in anything and for everything.

Little cries under those pillows, those screams beneath those eyes and face... God hears it all. This is a time of the grace of God, pouring out on lives, touching them...giving them a turning point all because His love doesn't change. I love this verse from the Bible "in while we we still yet sinners, Christ died for us"

Are we worthy enough? Are we able to come into His presence and receive this love? Do you think you're up for it?-------> YES! so, c'mon...what're you waiting for? Spread the news!

A tribute to my mates at Liverpool... God is great & Mighty and is looking after your life here... this is my prayer for you =) God bless you (readers....cheers)

Laying down enjoying the beauty of the scenery, the awesome wind and most of all....the fresh smell of grass...

Greetings from Liverpool!

2009-06-04T10:59:00.000-07:00

it's been a long time since I updated my blog. Been busy preparing to go to the UK and now I am happy to say that I am already here in Liverpool!!! It's been a great week since I arrived on the 29th of May. Certainly the hand of God was with me the whole time in terms of obtaining favors and things going on smoothly.

Most of all, I am surprised that I adapted pretty well on the 2nd day already. The weather here is awesome (coz those who knows me.... I sleep with the temperature 16 and high fan in Malaysia) wahahaha..... sometimes it can get really cold and I cant walk out without a jacket or at least a scarf.

God is really awesome in terms of using different kinds of people and many different forms. This has been broadened while I am here in the UK experiencing and seeing many things with my bare eyes. Many things spiritually as well and many things happens for a reason. I shall tell you more when I have a clearer understanding on it :)

As for now... without an internet connection, i have to kacau my friend and her laptop to get myself connected with the other part of the world, so those who are waiting to see me online, I'm sorry..Just like me...gotto be patient. I've uploaded pics on FB...go check em out.

Romans 8:28 says that all things work for good to those who loves God and does according to His purposes. I am baring this in mind and knowing that His grace is also sufficient for me.

Love you people so much and missing you always. Do drop me an email to update me on yourself too yeah... till then... bye :)

My Inheritance

2009-05-11T09:43:00.000-07:00

I am only in my mid-twenties and I am talking about MY INHERITANCE. Jesus said that I can inherit anything that is of Heaven when I believe in Him. He said that He came down here to give me an ABUNDANT life and He also then added that I can ask and keep on asking that it may be given to me. OH MAHN!! This is just great and wonderful! God loves me so much that I can get all this.

Wait a minute..this is the real world I am living in, sure I can get this stuff? This is a famous thought that just runs through my mind and I just dont have to entertain it because God's promises are higher than what my mind can comprehend. Let me share with you something that I went through last week and perhaps, it would be good for you to ponder and reflect in your life.

It all happened last week, last Saturday I had a wonderful time at Youth meeting having seen many youths coming after a long time where I bought pizzas to treat them. I had a session of sharing my testimony of how God blessed me in my studies to be where I am today. Ended well and joyfully and made my way back home after packing all my stuff. It was just good as at night, a friend stay over and we have a great time speaking of God's kingdom, watching sermons online, soaking in His presence and ended with a great time of praying. It all started to turn the opposite way when I woke up really sick and was on the bed the whole day as I couldnt get up at all. Of cause, at this point, I had to miss church sadly..but i kept my faith on God.

I felt so helpless and useless during that period of time and from that day, things for the whole week didnt go as smooth as I thought and wanted it to be. Favors werent there, bad things just happens...it felt that as though God is not with me but I know for a fact that GOd is with me throughout the WHOLE time and never once did I doubt that. Because of my simple decision and faith in believing that God is with me, I started to see things change and victory was more prevalent. I made a decision to go for D Cell and Section Gathering which I wont allow anything to come it's way to hinder me from going and of cause both times I had different hindrances. I fought it the best I could with God's empowering and did what I needed to do. I kept my eyes on Jesus the whole time.... (yeah..even when i was stucked in the lift without lights and ventilation - which almost caused me to pass out) and things just went better.

I started of saying that the kingdom of God is my inheritance. It is very true when i face difficult times because most of the time when things are alright with us, claiming our inheritance is just plain easy. During this time, I claimed many things: Healing, Strength, Victory, Blessings, Favours and the list goes on.... God from the beginning gave us the freedom to choose and it is at that period of time where major decisions has to be made and hearing the voice of God is important as the voice of the devil is easily heard as well.

Romans 8:28 says that everything will work out good for those who loves God and those who walks according to His purposes. No one can give such guarantee but Jesus and due to that, it has brought me to where I am today and always claiming what is mine. Yes, it is true that I could have fallen because I am still human but this human is made in the likeness of God and the qualities of God is in me! There is no reason to why I cant resist it.

I also know that the devil is all out to steal, kill and destroy... are you aware? Do you realise that everytime God gives you a blessing, after a period of time, it is somewhat gone? ponder.... think.... this is because John 10:10 says it already. The only armor we need from this is His Word and glorifying Him in whatever ways you can. Matthew 7:11 "If you then,being evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good gifts to those who ask Him!" Start asking and believe!

I feel really good now in the Spirit though my body is not at it's full strength but I know that God will strengthen me as I continue to do what He wants me to do and I will not stop. It is a commitment I have made. What about you? Remember....

It is all at the cross...it's done & written....

My prayer for you who reads this is that God will show you how to claim the inheritance He promised for you and YOU rising up for His expansion. God bless you

No Mountains Too High

2009-05-04T11:47:00.000-07:00

Indeed there is no mountain too high that God cannot overcome and push. Ever wonder why our life is full of obstacle and challenges? Why isn't life easy to go on with? Let me tell you one thing, whenever we are moving foward, just like the gravity rule, there's always something pulling you down. In this case as a believer of God, the devil is our number 1 force of discouragement and hindrance.

In my life, everytime I wanna do something, something that is out of the ordinary or decisions i make for greater things ahead, there's always a hindrance. Do I blame God for not protecting me? NO! No way man! God allows this to happen because I know He has faith in me that I can overcome this and get on with life after I have defeated and overcome the challenge. That would be the exciting part and in the process, I will experience awesome stuff from God because I chose to look at Him from the start. Would I say it was easy? Not at all. It was really tough because the physical is very real and setting my mind on what God says is real too and I just have to keep telling myself to look at God (whom is above and i will do gestures of looking above).

Psalm 23:4-5a says "Yea, though I walk through the valley of shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me, Your rod and staff, they comfort me. You prepare for me a table before my enemies..."

No matter what situation we are in, God is there also and all we have to do is know that He is God and no mountain is too high for Him to push and the best part, in the midst of your challenges, He prepares for you a "table".

We're on the winning side!

Revelations 12:11 says "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to death". Stand firm on what you have committed to God and proclaimed.

Just a short and simple-straight to the point sharing and I hope that it has benefitted you. Rise up and move on!

I love this one song which the verse goes like this:

There is no problem too big

God cannot solve it

There is no mountain too high

God cannot move it

There is no storm too dark

God cannot calm it

There is no sorrow too deep

He cannot soothe it

2009-04-19T21:03:00.000-07:00

I am super facinated at what Susan Boyle pulled off at Britains Got Talent recently. It just made my heart melt with amazement. I am sure, if you know what I am talking about, you would have seen the audience's reaction as she walked up on stage and also the judges'. Not to mention when she started speaking and wanting to become a professional singer or pattern like her idol, Elaine Paige. Everyone was in DOUBT!

This is what humans are like... Judging the book by its cover and never really cutting some slack for the person. I thank God that Susan was given the chance to zip all mouths and also to show the world something that we have been living in. After watching her performance over and over again for one reason, God is glorified! A humble spinster in her late 40s, living alone with her cat and only dreams to have a bigger and better life. Given birth into the world with a disadvantage which is to learn things slowly, she's the biggest person to be "disqualified" but God doesnt!

It was proven right up in the medias and also live! I love God so much for loving His children as He says in His words. Susan Boyle is a Christian and someone who actively helps out at her church and I know that, "everything works good for those who are called and walks according to His purposes". Let me say one thing, "Jesus loves us ALL no matter who we are, how we look like, who we become or not become and most of all, whatever we are"!!

Without saying more...I let the Video speak for itself:

Click here

This is the lyrics to the song "I dreamed a dream" that Susan sang which stunned everyone! You will be too.

I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hope was high,
And life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving.

Then I was young and unafraid
When dreams were made and used,
And wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung,
No wine untasted.

But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hopes apart
As they turn your dreams to shame.

And still I dream he'll come to me
And we will live our lives together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms
We cannot weather...

I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living
So different now from what it seems
Now life has killed
The dream I dreamed.

"What God has joined together, let no man separate"

2009-03-31T02:38:00.000-07:00

CONGRATULATIONS!

Ps Jason & Ps Jadeline's wedding happened at the Royale Bintang on 28th March 2009. Another joyous moment and a glorious one too. As their wedding co-ordinator, indeed I have learnt so much from them. Knowing well what their heart's desires are, flowing with what they want wasn't tough at all. The battle in the spiritual realm was also prevalent and seeing the storm through with faith in the Lord Jesus and by His grace has taught me, "in all situation, have faith in God". There were much to be seen especially the miracle working God pouring down His blessings upon this couple. It was such a great honor to be able to coordinate such a wedding, something I never thougth I would be doing. In the spirit, a breakthrough has begun for many and especially to our dear brother & sister J.

As they embark in their new phase of life, the Lord promises will come to pass and with much determination and perseverance, they will reap what they have been sowing. Without any doubt, I am in much happiness to their togetherness in all circumstances! LOVE speaks for itself :)

Groom, Bride & Wedding Coordinator

Thank you for having faith in me to coordinate your wedding. Such an honor :)

Relationships are fragile not unless you have Jesus in your life. Security, assurance and peace comes along when you put Jesus above your marriage and first in your life. This is what Christian marriage speaks about because, humans are always humans but love (Agape) comes from the Holy one which then is being reflected in each and everyone of us. Sinful and imperfect as we are....counted righteous under His blood, enabled to love and be loved by His grace.

"What God has joined together, let no man separate"

I would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate and wish another couple whom I also coordinate their wedding exactly one year ago on their FIRST anniversary --> Abby & Vincent Tan!

To everyone else who is still unmarried, lets take these couples and the couples to come (Ps Monica & Wilson) as an example. There are secrets to learn from in their marriage and how they go about it. Lets not be taken by what the world says of marriage. Marriage is something Holy and honorable before God and by God's definition is a sacred joining together of 2 souls and spirits. God bless you!

The Mraz's ShoW

Here's Jason on stage with his BAREFOOT & up to his dances again....

THE bow......of gratitude

Smiles of gladness & satisfaction

More gladness & smiles...

I like what Jason said during "half-time" - Do not let your mind stop yourself from having fun!! Yeah! Power of the mind huh which is what the Bible says as well..the mind, body, soul & spirit.... submit to the Lord and move with what God has planned and directed for your life.

Lesson learnt: Do what your heart wants you to do and put faith in it! GOD bless you mates!

my one way ticket.....haha...not heaven but to a satisfied time!

Seed & Grounds

2008-12-26T10:47:00.000-08:00

Phew...... been such a hectic time these few months... went through such emotional times and I bet that my emotional capacity has been expanded... the Bible says; everything works for good to those who loves God and follow His purposes.

It's been tough handling many responsibilities at one time; campaign-being a group leader, youth ministry, children ministry, cell group ministry, worship ministry and what more my family and personal life but nonetheless, it is by God's grace and ability that I made it through. It wasn't easy throughout these times but due to my obedience to look to Him in everything, things just went into its place and worked out well.

Did I feel sad and tear when I went through these times? You bet! Roller Coaster ride on my emotions... one thing I know, throughout the whole time, I was planting various seeds into the people and atmosphere around me. At times, I see these seeds grow, some grow stagnant, some dont even grow but I have to continue to put faith and water it as much as I can.

Seeds are small and signifies a potential that lies within a person just like trees. Initially, it all started small and then watered and taken care of well enough to see its potential to bare fruits and grow big. The heart is like the soil the seed falls onto. The Bible speaks about the types of ground suitable for growth.

1. Wayside: the birds will come and eat the seeds away

2. Stony Ground: has its place for a while but no roots because filled with stone therefore not grounded well

3. Thorny Ground: Chokes the growth of the potential tree

4. Good ground: Bears fruits and grows into a huge tree

As a sower, just like farmers, they usually throw seeds onto the ground but before doing so, they have to prepare the land/ground for it to be suitable and ready for seeds to lay on and bare fruits. A farmer will then water it and nurture it closely then will protect it. This relates back to our heart whereby, the heart has to be ready to receive anything.

It is hard and challenging to keep on sowing seeds when at times the ground's condition is out of my control, but by not giving up, I am sure with faith that it will someday bare its fruits. Moving into the year 2009, I thank God for 2008 and its many happenings preparing and empowering me to move into greater things ahead.

The seeds I have sown in the year 2008, I know that God will keep an eye on it and my hope is that it will blossom and grow into a big.... huge tree. All the disappointment, I know it wont go to waste instead the Bible says: Those who sow in tears will reap with JOY!

I thank God also for His Son, Jesus Christ for what He has done on the cross for me (that is what Christmas is all about) and not to forget, all those beautiful people He put around me. I hope that greater things will come their way in the coming year. By God's grace, I am who I am.

Precious as I am, you are too in the eyes of God! Seed sowing doesnt stop here/now...not until you leave planet Earth...soon....I shall see my TREES!!!

*For unto us a Child is born*

Recycling - Salvage the habit

2008-11-19T09:26:00.000-08:00

We are very well versed with the word REuse, REduce & REcycle. But how many are convicted by the fact that the Earth is dying every second as we speak? Living life selfishly has been something that is common throughout the world and this has caused a great effect towards the environment and our dear created Earth. The place we live at, the things we use, the air we breath, the food we consume and much more are all related somewhat to the environment. Now, let me put it straight... I am not a fanatic but after doing research and thinking through alot on this matter, I must say, I have been selfish myself to only take care of my life and my convenience, not knowing that everything I throw to waste is contributing to something else to disappear and causes much shortage.

Take 15years down the road, think of how many trees are being chopped down just for us to use papers everyday at work, at college and at home. Just 12,000 A4 papers used up cause 1 tree to be chopped off. This is a sad fact!

This (recycling) is a very common message that people for decades have been promoting and up till today, nothing major has happened and yes, I do realise that now, many companies are also going "green" so to speak. But speaking about that, are the people really practicing and promoting from their heart and for the better of the environment or for other causes? I don't know.... You decide....

You can start this habit by practicing in your everyday life wherever you are. Start small by minimizing the usage of plastic bags, electricity and many other things. If I were to go on, it's a whole long "story" to put into. The effect of not recycling may not be immediate, but think of the future generations and put aside your benefits awhile. Do you want your children to live in a sick world? I doubt so. You start, germination will begin once you've begun and it will influence those around you.

The world needs hope and the hope comes from you and me! Efforts are being put in worldwide to make this an urgent need to attend to. HOPE just like God has for every human is available for the world to obtain and just like how God takes the trouble to "recycle" lives, we should do likewise and not be ignorant of it anymore...nope...no more! Wakey wakey from wonderland now....!!!

Join me together with my mates to salvage this long lost humanity kindness and compassion for the Earth. My final year at TAR College requires us to organise a PR Campaign and needless to say, it's about Recycling. Without this requirement, I would be as ignorant as before.

____________________________________________________________________

"Recycle is a Need and a Deed" is the tag line of the campaign that will be organised by Advanced Diploma in Mass Communication year 2 students majoring in Public Relations and Media Studies as a course requirement at TAR College. Not only am I committed to organise a successful event, but I am also committed to carry this message everywhere and not just for paper evaluation. Recycling is part of life whether you want to accept the fact or not, looking one's own life, everyone has gone through a recycling process to be where one is at right now.

Make a difference! Join us on 16th - 18th December 2008, 10am - 5pm at TAR College KL Campus. Play your part to contribute to the larger picture. God bless you as you contemplate on this matter and make the right choice.

Bible verse for the day:

Sow what you want to reap; and you shall reap what you sow (Galatians 6:7)

Finito Mundo - Apostolic Program Intake 11, 2008

2008-10-31T10:07:00.000-07:00

This is the conclusion (31st October 2008) for many participants from few nations especially the African nations. It touched my heart on how much they have to sacrifice to be able to be here at Malaysia, World Harvest Church to be blessed and recharged.

On the last night together, not only was there a graduation in the natural but there was also a great presence of God overwhelming individuals which is significant in the Spir

it. It was a great 2 weeks of soaking in the presence of God, learning about how to move in the Spirit, run-rest-release, and many more to be named. Lives were transformed, minds were renewed, hearts were melted.... the Lord moves in great ways as we lay down our lives for Him to move.

With this end of Intake 11, it shall be a new beginning o

f a greater move of God in respective churches, city and nation. The beginning has only started and more are to come. Church members laid down their lives day-in, day-out to serve these ministers of God from elsewhere and also to facilitate the move of God. Treasures in heaven are already being stored up.

After the graduation, we also had a special "event" for WHC which is the ordination of

3 ministry assistants to become pastors. Jadeline, Jason and Monica all now have a title "Pa

stor" with them and the Lord has great plans for them to venture in. Our dear freshie pastors, our p

rayers are with you! We rejoice in what the Lord does in every lives.

As for me, i've been busy in and out the hotel and

college with much to do and much to look into but, it is all by God's grace that I am able to handle everything without falling. It's always great to know that my strength comes from God and that it is not by my might but by His spirit that I am able to make it. Been touched by many testimonies and stories mentioned to me and it has then encourage me to be a greater person living in this sofisticated city.

Apostolic Intake 12 is coming next year and that time, I will be a full-time participant without a doubt! Come and join by faith to receive rhema words in this kairos time. You will definitely be blessed beyond measure, pressed down and shaken together to be able to adapt all things. Great testimony will come out from your mouth. Click on the banner to find out more about it.

Participants, we'll miss you!

Church members, it's back to normal routines!

Readers, yes you, pray and read through regarding Apostolic Program.....

and finally, SHALOM!

Harvesting

2008-10-21T09:54:00.000-07:00

You might wonder when to harvest and what to harvest? C'mon Josephine, in this time of the year with those financial crisis happening all over the world, you're asking me to harvest? Is it white yet to be harvested?

"Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things unseen"

I want to share about what I know about harvesting linking to faith - the substance you hope with following consequences that is unseen. I have seen for the past few days, the church having an event hosting many leaders of various churches and denominations pouring out their hearts and emptying their pockets just to come to our humble nation, Malaysia and what more, World Harvest Church. Putting their status aside, their title aside, their ministries aside, their successes aside and many more just to sit for 2 weeks and soak in God's presence with new and deep teachings. This is what I call HARVESTING with FAITH.

They are mainly people from the African continent whereby complications in getting their visa and air tickets are common (hindrances) and not only that, most of them are not rich financially but they put in all their heart to believe and invest into God's kingdom that they will be provided and they made it here.

I know deep in my heart that they are going to reap a plantiful harvest, not enough to be contained in them that they have to let it out and share with others. This is a supporting fact of FAITH cause without faith, all works are considered in vain. By the end of the program, there will be more harvest stories to tell but for now, let me relate it back to normal lives.

Indeed it is hard now to harvest a financial abundance, what more stability during the financial situation around the world. One thing that is not shaken is God's kingdom and in His kingdom, there are much opportunity to harvest. For me, i didn't feel a bit worried or concerned of my life over this matter as I know that I have faith in my God that He is in control in all situation. All I have to do is to continue going on with my life.

I made a few decisions that led to actions and also experiences that has made me to harvest even more. It's tiring to do things that are not seen in the natural but I know that God has His reward in the Heavenly places as we continue to see Him face to face. I allow God to take His way and I just play my role in harvesting.

One fact that is very true about harvesting is that you have to sow first before reaping. So, what you want to reap, sow! This is what the Bible says "you'll reap what you sow". Do not worry about the watering and its growth, just keep it sowing and sowing and in due time, you shall receive the harvest of plenty! FAITH >> BIG HARVEST!!

God bless you, peeps!

When all seemed right....

2008-10-15T11:21:00.000-07:00

We are so used to walking on our own ways and doing things on our own confidence and strength. Filling your mind with all the knowledge a normal human being even get to do it. Even when the bucket is full, the tap doesn't stop. At times, even to an extend of controlling things all around your life...when all seemed right...but it is not....

We face a crossroad but choosing it on our own convenience. Life and its challenges, situations and its challenges, relationship and its

challenges.... which road are you going to choose? Sometimes, I feel that way too. Feeling that as though I am in control of my life, what I want, I do it, I get/achieve it but I was wrong. I will come to another crossroad and say "when all seems right....this happens again..." *grumble grumble*

I will then know how great God really is. He knows THE BEST! Owh yes, trust me on this...He really does! No way to fight this truth away...At one point of my life, I thought everything was going on fine and well and steady when only I realise that everything is not OKAY and smooth as I thought it was. In fact, it was just being left aside and God brought it back to me to get it settled and done then finally moving on to the next chapter. Total surrendering to God is very important. There's one song by Planet Shakers which I think speaks it all where the chorus goes like this:

I surrender all to You, I surrender all to You, I am nothing without You, Jesus Christ, take my life, it's all for You. I kept singing this many times and many days until I felt total surrendered and I know that things are being put back nicely just like jigsaw puzzles. There is this saying; not until you let go, you wont receive. It's true! and all this while... I thought everything seems right...

Simple sharing with a clear message...many of us worry for what will happen in our lives and want to dictate it to tailor to their own preferences and likings but that is not the way life is (the truth). Jesus said, "those who comes to be, I will give an abundant life" and "you shall not worry about tomorrow for the issues today are sufficient of itself instead come to me and give me your burdens and I shall give you a lighter yoke". God came and save me our of my presumptions (whem all seemed right...)

Just like Peter walking on water, he was shocked but he obeyed Jesus and walked on water but when he realised that it is WATER that he is walking on, his focus diverted to the storm and about drowning, and he began drowning. His faith was shaken when he looked at his circumstances and not fully concentrating on Jesus. When we are in control of our own life, we actually put a barrier with God and He can't force you cause He respects men's decisions. But His hands are always stretched to land a hand and bring you back to the right path.

"For My thoughts are higher than your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My thoughts than your thoughts" then God continued by saying "It is the same with My word, I sent it out and it will always produces fruit. It will accomplish all I want it to, and it will prosper everywhere I send it."

I chose my path to be guided 100% by God and it has been an awesome journey. Those who wants, shall obey the voice of the Lord their God. Cheers!

This Is Our God

In times of turmoil

2008-09-20T08:52:00.001-07:00

In the world of unrest today, there seems of no security and stability, what more peace and assurance. Earthquakes, typhoons, floods, economical instability and many more have been shaking the world today in its many forms. With all this going on, Governments in all the affected countries can’t give assurance and promises of prevention and safety. What you see is what a limited governing body that has their power to make things lighter and also lifting off some of the burdens but what they cannot do is to give 100% prevention from those entire taking place.

Another scenario that can be seen during these times is people/human back-stabbing one another, betrayals, fearful, distrust and confused, to list a few. The world is seeking for an inner healing and its people are crying out for an intervention. Sorrows, lament, grief, tears, sadness and negativity fills the air. The question will then come back at the back of our little minds “What can we do to save the world & its inhabitants? What will seem enough and what will seem appropriate for me to do for them?” The little that you can do to save the world makes a whole lot difference as a whole.

Times like this, there are those wanting love, hope and comfort from any sources and methods possible. Voices are heard and nothing can be done. Jesus said, “Now when this things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near”. Looking at the circumstances and situations will only make one to feel remorse and useless but by looking at Jesus, there is hope. Peace, comfort and assurance is what God can give in these times. Blaming God for the happenings will only make things worse as it says in the word that “These things shall surely come to pass and then you will see the Son of Man.” Many times we like to blame something for a happening despite it being the right course. Blaming doesn’t solve a matter but looking into a substance that assures and guarantees is the key to obtaining peace and the desires of your heart will be met.

The Bible tells a story of Jesus who was in the boat with His disciples and he was asleep while there was a great storm. The faith of the disciples wavered and they started saying “Master, why are you asleep during this difficulty. Can’t you see that there is a great storm?” Jesus woke up and spoke to the storm full with authority commanding it to stop and it went still as though there weren’t any storm. This story shows that the disciples were of little faith to believe to be able to command the sea to be still just like Jesus did instead started blaming and finding fault with Jesus. Jesus definitely knew that they were in the midst of the storm, and instead of them calling out to Jesus to help, they started blaming Him for sleeping. The disciples didn’t get anything by blaming but a rebuke by their Master.

Open your eyes and take a good look around the world today. Check out those countries that have been making the news. Count how many are “good news” and “bad news” and you’ll be shocked to see the number. Being human and having such technology to access news around the world, emotions and perceptions are also easily being affected thus causing wrong conclusion and wrong analysis of that subject matter. The Bible speaks of us as humans not to judge another as we will be judged back, knowing that we are not worthy and in the right position to judge another person. Having seen all those happening, hope must be released into the atmosphere and it involves every person. The giver of hope is in your hands and it is your choice to choose whether to release it or not. Being soaked in and wavered in your faith and believe only shows that you are easily given away to anything that is being reported and with that, you may seem useless and hopeless.

Circumstances changes every time, the wind blows at different directions all the time, people change and waver most of the time but one that doesn’t change no matter what is Jesus who says “I am the same yesterday, today and forever.” This shows that Jesus loves each and every one of us the same as He did 2000 years back and no matter what goes on, He assures to be with us all the time. Nothing changes, only people changes most of the time and it is about time for everyone to start changing to the right path by looking up for the time is near. His love is never – ending for all mankind and for all ethnic groups.

Order can be reinstated and hope can be spread in this world. It takes the whole world to know that the earth needs a healing then change can be done. Every pieces of a jigsaw puzzle when put together forms a beautiful picture as a whole that will bring a greater meaning and impact on the person who uses the effort. If one puzzle is missing, the picture is not complete and it takes not one but all to be in-line to be whole to form an attractive masterpiece. Are you important? Are you significant? What is your purpose here on this earth? Being here on planet Earth is not merely just another living creature that is to fill the statistics or to fill the earth but all creation is here for a purpose.

Know that God has created everything for a purpose and it is always for a greater purpose rather than to just contribute in the minimal form that you have and possess. We are creation that was made wonderfully with much fear and every piece of details God has placed into our beautiful lives. Blessings are released through our lives whether in kind, cash or even love and affection. Tough times will and can be twisted around with what we decide to do and how he will do it. We are the key to all this as great instruments of God to work wonders here. You must be wondering why me? Well, this is your purpose on earth rather than be selfish to get all that you get and just enjoying the little lives that you have. Reaching out to others involves a greater sacrifice that will give you a better achievement and satisfaction.

The world cannot wait. Things have to start taking place now. Where? Where you’re at! That is the first place you can kick – off the “mission” of saving the world. Don’t ever think that it is too big a call or responsibility, no one is asking you to get every single person on earth but to get those closest around you. Extend to those visible and tangible in your midst. By doing a little, more will be given and more will be blessed in return. The satisfaction of knowing one life touched is much greater than striking a 1 million Ringgit lottery. In every negative situation lies a positive opportunity. Seize the right moment and do not delay!

The world needs you. What are you going to do today? How many more sufferings can you stand to watch as you sit in-front of the television with parents savouring into snacks and with the comfort of an air-conditioner? While there are those striving to even get one meal a day not for themselves first but for their children, those seeking for help when family members are down with sicknesses, homes destroyed by natural disasters and many more. Jesus said, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” May your eyes open to see the going-on around the world, your ears hear their cries and your heart feeling their pain. Shalom!

Desert Song

2008-09-02T09:19:00.000-07:00

It's been one year and I missed you every single moment wondering how will it be like if you were still around and what will you be doing. I know you are up there cheering me on and I know you are smiling down from Heaven telling God to comfort our (the family's) hearts.

This song is a song that I sing from my heart in times I miss you... (loving you always)

Desert Song by Brooke Fraser

VERSE 1

This is my prayer in the desert

When all that’s within me feels dry

This is my prayer in my hunger and need

My God is the God who provides

VERSE 2
This is my prayer in the fire
In weakness or trial or pain
There is a faith proved of more worth than gold
So refine me Lord through the flame

CHORUS
I will bring praise, I will bring praise
No weapon formed against me shall remain
I will rejoice, I will declare
God is my victory and He is here

VERSE 3
This is my prayer in the battle
When triumph is still on its way
I am a conqueror and co-heir with
So firm on His promise I’ll stand

BRIDGE
All of my life
In every season
You are still God

I have a reason to sing
I have a reason to worship

VERSE 4
This is my prayer in the harvest

When favour and providence flow
I know I’m filled to be emptied again
The seed I’ve received I will sow.

Life is about choices

2008-09-01T10:29:00.000-07:00

Many things in life doesn't come the way we want it or the way we expect it to come. Most of the time, we only realize it after making the decision. Life can be exciting and less pressurizing but the decision is in your hands.

Lets move on. I am talking about choosing your own path in life as God has given the liberty and freedom of choice. Making the right decision in life will then bring you further into what the real purpose of life is for you in this world. The Bible speaks about life in all its abundance. How can you obtain it by complaining, mourning, blaming & worse, not doing anything? It all doesn't come instantly. The Bible immediately also says that you have to work for it and make the right choices in every cross-road that you will face. God didn't promise that it will be easy neither did He say it would be too difficult that you can't get through it, He mentioned that in every situation you face in your life, He already pre-assessed that you will be able to move on and reach the finish line aka the goal.

Many times we face many difficulties and we then will fumble and start doubting our abilities and strength and allow the circumstances to drown us which will eventually cause us to feel worse than before. To rise up above every storm in life is a CHOICE. To get up from every fall is a CHOICE. To succeed in life is a CHOICE. To look up and trust in God is also a CHOICE. Most of the time, the choices available is only 2 (yes/no, right/left, up/down, this/that). Yes, reality is that humans do make bad / wrong choices but this is an opportunity to learn from mistakes. No human is perfect in this world and not one person hasn't done a single mistake in his/her life.

What matters most is what you want as an individual? Satisfaction in the mind? Satisfaction in the soul? Satisfaction with achievements? Or a higher satisfaction knowing that you are created for greater things to impact lives besides from just living selfishly gaining everything you can get? Salvation of your spirit is the key. No matter how much you are satisfied in the natural with your earnings, work, friends etc, there would be one point of life where a question like this would pop up "what am I here for? what next?" That "vacuum" in the heart is meant for One person only to fill as He created it.

Life will never be the same once you make the right choice. Words are limited to express how great it is but indeed great things can happen and nothing is impossible to him who believes. I will be a greater person because I am created to be one. So do you. Choose!

One thing I thank God is that He puts around me people who are great and wonderful to teach me and be an example in my life to strive to improve myself to be a better person. Without these people, I wouldn't also be who I am today. People are always available around you, do you choose and allow them to "train" you is your CHOICE. I am more than willing because the Bible also says, to submit under an authority is a blessing.

May the Lord bless you in what you choose in life and that you will never fall in to any deception of the world but to choose what rightfully should be the end decision. Shalom!

Where we belong....

2008-08-24T07:52:00.000-07:00

God, thank You for everything in my life. I love You very much. This song... I sing & profess out of love & passion from the deepest part of my heart to You :)

Where We Belong
Hillsong/This Is Our God

There is no height or depth
Neither life nor death
That can take me from all that I find
Here now in Your Glory Lord

No other powers or love
The things of now or to come
There's nothing on earth in this life
That could ever separate us Lord

Your Love is never ending
To your hands we surrender
Where all our sins are washed away
Your Grace beyond reason
Has paid for our freedom
We're made alive in You

We run to Your Throne
Where we belong
Every heart will sing
That Jesus is Lord
Casting all else aside
For the joy of our Christ
Let Your Glory fall
Our hearts are filled with Your Fire

No other powers or love
The things of now or to come
There's nothing on earth in this life
That could ever separate us Lord

Testimony (Shared @ Church 10th August 2008)

2008-08-10T07:44:00.000-07:00

*I hope that you'll be blessed!*
A testimony shred about the life of my mother months before she passed away due to cancer. How God moves in great ways and supernaturally in her life.

I would like to share with you how the Lord worked in my mother’s life before she passed away with cancer close to 1 year ago. My mother was detected with liver cancer in early 2006 and went through a major operation to remove a large tumor in May 2006 and was then worsen by cancer cells that spread to her other parts of the body. Life took its turn and everything started to change.

I was very shock when the news broke to me. Worry as I was, I had to keep my composure and faith in God not knowing what will happen. There was nothing I could do but to pray and believe in God. I told myself, I didn’t want this to be a hindrance to my studies and ministry-serving God.

Once, I brought Pastor Gloria to visit my mom and she shared regarding Heaven and its existence. A book was given to her to read and I thought that she wouldn’t read it but prayerfully I believed that she would and SHE DID. I realized that from that time onwards, she started looking differently at life. My mother is a very strong person in many ways. A person full with charisma and also enthusiasm. She was a giver without complaints or being calculative. She was also a person who was very confident in herself and need not any help from any supernatural beings.

When she was finally admitted to the hospital as she couldn’t stay out without supervision as she is very weak, one day, the doctor told my dad to “prepare”. I was so devastated and I remembered calling Pastor Gloria first and cried on the phone. Pastor Gloria said this, “Josephine, if your mom would leave, are you ready?” I broke down even more and answered, "NO". I don’t want this to be a fact and at that time, Pastor Gloria was quick to say a following statement, “Josephine, now we have to really pray for her salvation which matters the most whether she would live or not.” It comforted me to a certain extend and got my focus back on track. I didn’t want many people to know as I still want to live a normal life and don’t have to think about this very much as I didn’t want people to care too much and bother too much about me or my family but one thing God taught me, to be open and get the support. This was the hardest challenge in life but God is always in charge in no matter what situation – good or bad.

During hospitalization, many of my mother’s friends from high school (which was a Christian based school) came to pay her a visit and many of them left not forgetting to pray for her. Many even shared the Gospel to her and left her books/magazines/hand-outs to read. Many times I tune into the Holy Spirit to say a few comforting words. There was once where I sat beside her with my aunties around me, holding her hand telling her that Jesus is by her side. We then shed tears.

One day, a friend of my mother’s told me that my mom told her that she had a dream. At that time, she was suffering from severe pain and she had difficulty in sleeping for almost a week but in the dream, she saw a white figure opening the door approaching her and touched her heart gently. After that, she testified that she felt peace and was relieved thus was able to sleep. Days after that the doctor had a report for us, he said that a normal person’s jaundice (penyakit kuning) is about 200 or so but my mother’s was at a critical level exceeding 400 and usually at this stage, the person would be in a coma BUT my mother was otherwise, she was up and walking around making rounds as exercise and she wasn’t even in a coma. This was great news and marveled the doctor and my dad acknowledged this as a miracle.

There was one day during church prayer where Pastor David prayed for me supported by all present and he made this statement led by the Holy Spirit “there won’t be death!” And I believed it whole-heartedly. I was joyful and positive that things are in God’s control.

During the first day of Apostolic Program Intake 10, I went to visit my mom in the afternoon with Pastor Lois.

We reached there to only find out my mother wasn’t doing well. Without further a due, we went into intensive praying in tongues and laid hands on mom right away. I was led to proclaim God’s protection & deliverance from Psalms 91. There was once where I was filled with boldness, stood up, took everything that has no association with Christianity such as books, magazines, necklace, water. CD etc and placed into a bag and kept it away at one corner of the room. I also told my relatives, “now it is time to give Jesus, my God a chance” and they were willing.

I held her hands explaining regarding accepting Christ and then asking her whether she would want to receive Jesus into her heart. I told her to squeeze my hands to indicate that she wants and SHE DID! After praying for her and asking her to confess Jesus in her heart, I wanted an assurance and so, I asked “mom, if you asked Jesus to come into your life just now, squeeze my hands again.” Not only did she squeeze but she managed to nod her head and look me in the eyes. I was overjoyed! Pastor Lois then asked my mom “how are you?” and my mom could get up and reply her “peaceful”. I was even more overjoyed!

The next day at the hotel for Intake 10, I received a call from my dad and to come over quickly. I rushed off with Pastor Lois to the hospital. In my heart, I know that my mother will leave us and my heart was prepared already. I was amazed during that time, I wasn’t panicking instead was peaceful. Pastor Lois and I reached the hospital and she went straight to my mother’s side and started praying in tongues intensively for her.

During the whole “drama” she never left my mother as I had to deal with many things. An ambulance was called to transport my mom home. I don’t know how to describe the moment during those times. I drove back home talking to God and said, “I thought You said there wont be death?” this question I asked God wasn’t with doubt but it was with an intention of knowing deeper to what that sentence mean and the still small voice of the HS spoke to me, “it is her Spirit that I say there wont be death.” Even after my mom took her last breath, Pastor Lois was still besides her praying. After awhile, she then approached me and told me that she saw an angel the very moment my mother took her last breath. The angel was sent from heaven to accompany my mother up to heaven. I rejoice and comforted myself that she is safe up there and that I would meet her one day when my time is up on earth. I always joke that my mom, accepted Jesus less than 24 hours is already enjoying her time there in Heaven leaving me here on earth, but I know that I have things to accomplish and that she will be there supporting me all the way. God has been working in my mother’s life tremendously throughout these times of hardship and it was even more when we met many dead end roads. God sent many Christians to come by her side as well.

God does supernatural things in many different ways as long as we acknowledge that He is in control. Like my mom’s situation, it is out of our control and we are limited leaving it to God to have His way. May you experience Him in a supernatural manner.

*mom, I know you were looking down at me and cheering me on when I shared this. Thank you God & thanks Mom!*

Opportunities ---> Comes & Goes

2008-08-06T10:12:00.001-07:00

Life is such that we face many ups & downs and it is what makes you a better person. Opportunities are prevalent in every part of life whether you see it or not. When it passes by, there is usually no turning back and regret will follow. The usual reaction to opportunities are apprehensiveness and doubt.

I treasure every opportunity given to whether directly or indirectly (where i have to find out myself) and it usually don't come twice. Doubt is the normal thing that will dawn in the mind before anything else but the results of the opportunity would drive me more in embracing it.

"The open door is always there, it comes down to you whether you want to walk through that open door"

After embracing that opportunity, an exciting journey begins! The best part of this is that you will get to learn more about yourself and God honours that very much. Anything that you sow, you will reap. For example, diligence for diligence, work for merit, sweat for results & the like. He doesn't fail you. It is also true for the negative, hatred for hatred, anger for disunity and many more. I would say, taking every opportunity with respect and as a mission and mandate to fulfill.

There were a few times that I made important decisions to attain the opportunity and knowing that once I'm in, I can't back out. And many times, I am not disappointed. Life took a turn around when I walked through the door that was wide open for me into a whole new realm. From that day onwards, it seems as though a fairytale story just that it is happening real life.

That opportunity promises me guidance, blessings, protection and most of all ---> an abundant life! 5 Years ago I took the opportunity to allow Jesus in and it was great and awesomely wonderful the years till where I am today. Being a sportsperson, when there is any opportunity to break the defense to score, it MUST be taken.

Whatever opportunity you will encounter in any part of your life especially one that gives eternal assurance, grab hold of it and have it in your hands. Speaking especially as well those at work or studying, grabbing opportunities is good way in self-enhancement. Don't allow it to go pass you that you'll miss it.

For my brother & sisters out there, this is a verse for you in accordance to what I've just shared. *go figure*

Matthew 6:33 "Seek first the kingdom of God and its righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you"

Life without her

2008-07-27T09:11:00.000-07:00

It has been close to a year without her. Missing her to the depths of a grave. But things has changed ever since. It wasn't easy to go through this transition in life. Talk about life's transition, this by far the hardest I've done through. What made me write about her? Her Bday is approaching and it reminds me so much of her and I know I have to share something about her that has been the essence in our lives.

She has been such a fighter ever since she was a kid and through those times she has grown to be a person of great stature. Someone who never says no to anything and makes things possible. She strives to performs her best and brings the best out of what she has in hand. Everyone knows her as the person who is enthusiastic and up-going with a lioness heart who brings things to past. Many things that she goes through, she doesn't complain or get discouraged. I know that since young, she has been under the protection of God though she hasn't know Him yet.

A heart full of compassion for the less fortunate and even those who are in lack. She gives without 2nd consideration or any cynic thoughts. Even till her last days, she gave and it was a wonderful sight to see how people are blessed because of her. Her pledge for the "home" has reached beyond its target and more will come. While she was on the bed during her last days, she kept composure and a confident face. By the looks, you think everything will be alright though the situation is the other way round.

During her bday last year, she did 2 things that were really meaningful that brought a great touch in our lives. 1stly was organizing a trip to a disabled orphanage conducting an open house there for the disabled. She invited relatives over to join as well especially relatives who weren't exposed to such things. A disabled child came up to her, as the child couldn't speak, she kissed her lips and touched my mom's lips in showing her appreciation. This brought my mom down to tears. 2nd incident was a dinner that involved all relatives from both sides of the family. The ironic thing that night was, everyone was curious why she did that (calling all to eat together) and it was a bit odd but then we knew that she's preparing herself and she wants to spend her last times with everyone together.

Throughout the times while she was in the hospital, it was the hardest challenge I've ever faced in life as I had to juggle many things (college, exams, church etc) yet I have to be there by her side. Believing for miracle everyday for her was tough but has taught me something precious. I learnt the love that is shown by others around me and how to accept them, how to go through life at it's worst and also handling situations in unexpected manners.

Once in the hospital, I wanted her to know who I really am, the person she never knew and seen. I shared with her many things and backed up with pictures and it was so great to see the smile on her face. At the same time, it was my bro's turn to also unveil himself to her and it is such a joyful moment for all of us. I realise, we usually dont treasure things that are ready infront of us instead taking advantage of it till it starts vanishing away slowly. Love at its fullness! Love at its best! Love at its everlasting! Love is the greatest of all values! Love is not only shown in actions, it is shown in many other forms. I never kissed her, I never say "I love you" but deep in our hearts, we love each other so much.

Her condition worsen day by day. It seemed that the miracle is far at hand but nonetheless, God has His purpose and plan. She herself has seen Jesus and met Him in a dream. It was great to know that she's up in Heaven now. Death comes in the natural but in the spiritual, it's a new birth, a new beginning! I will see her when we meet in heaven one day.

She will always be remembered deep in our hearts. Those who knows her knows that she is such a special individual. Her legacy lives on with her family. Her hearts desire is to see those less fortunate to be blessed and individuals rising up, believing in self to be a person they ought to be.

God says, "I have come to give an abundant life, that you may live in all its fullness" It is for everyone on earth. Embrace it and disperse it! She's looking down from heaven cheering us on!

God bless you!

God's Alliteration!

2008-07-14T10:49:00.000-07:00

Look back and "Thank" GOD,
Look forward and "Trust" GOD,
Look around and "Serve" GOD
Look within and "Find" GOD

"Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence.
Prepare for the future without fear."

*abstracted this from an email forwarded to me*

Would like to share with you as I think it's really cool which is not only word playing cool but also very true to its very last juice!

How many times do we turn to God? All the time? Once an hour? Once a day? Hmm... as mentioned up there, every angle should be cover regarding turning to God. Many times we are so overwhelmed by the situation that we turn elsewhere rather than turning to God first. We think that we are in control and have the power to overcome. Even the most capable person I know is down and not as effective as before. We have our limitations but breaking the limits is not impossible with God through us. Yep! That's right...US! not U.S.A but US! Kita! Wo Men!

face your past without regret - Looking back, there is no use of being all sad and dissappointed with those past happenings instead to look forward and carry on with life. Looking at God will only propel us into a greater future.

Handle your present with confidence What we have in hand now is what God has prepared for us and with that, being able to be a good stewardship over it would bring greater blessings back. Knowing that confidence is from the Lord, everything that is to be done would be simpler and easier as God is in control.

Prepare the future without fear His ways are higher than your ways! Dont fear as fear comes from the evil one but instead have faith, love and hope! God shows His ways step by step that would require our patience.

All these are related to the turning to God in all situations. Desire for more of Him to seek Him in anything. God is with us!

Desires of the heart

2008-07-09T12:12:00.000-07:00

I was one day just pondering on an incident and that incident brought me to think and dwell more on "the desires of the heart". Did i mention desires with the "s" ? Looks like it has a lot of juice behind that alphabet. Definately! As I pondered more on it, a still small voice inside of me is whispering "what are your desires?"

I wondered, how much will I get out of it? What would I get out of it? What do I have to do for it?

Then the voice speaks again, "Anything you desire that is according to My word, you will receive it" Goodness......that was easy...nothing else I have to do, just desire with all of my heart!! Wait a minute, there's a catch? hmm.... This is what people will usually think about ---> a catch behind an offer.

Negativity comes like an ant marching in for food but positivity comes like an elephant trying to get through a door. Impossible it may seem but this is the fact that people in life is facing.

I yielded to the little voice in me (my conscience) as it knows me more than my mind knows me. I started desiring earnestly for many things and things that may seem impossible...time after time..toiling in my spirit and soul in verge of giving up but that voice will remind me again of those desires I've had once.

Time goes by not one day regretting my desires made and one by one started coming to pass. One by one these desires are becoming reality to me. I have more desires yet to be fullfiled. Those being fullfiled has made me a different person that I am today and it will continue to cause an impact.

Abilities and capabilities will be added in terms of fulfilling those desires that may seem "far-at-hand" in the start. It will be brought closer than you think and at the least expected time. Resources given to fulfill the desires must be respected to it's highest regard and more will then be entrusted to you.

Then you will ask...who hears the desires of the heart and who will be fulfilling it? Will it come by chance? Or will it be sent to me? The answer for all - is NO! GOD is real and He is the One that says, "Those who come near to me, I will definately come near to you". As real as He is, great things are to happen in His timing and to yield to it brings more blessing to the desired.

A desire of the heart is a very powerful "tool" in bringing one forward to achieve a victory in many areas of life BUT with the help of God, a more abundant life will then be added and thus making life more interesting and secured. Desire the right thing! Desire eternity! Desire goodness! Desire peace! Desire transformation! All will be given!!!

My dear friends, with this simple sharing from my heart, I hope that God will hear your heart crying out with a desire. The GREATEST desire one can make is to invite God into your life! This, you will never regret you whole life. GOD bless you

A Message From God

2008-07-03T09:50:00.000-07:00

To Heaven and Back

2008-06-15T09:55:00.000-07:00

Thursday April 17, 2008 TheStar (Malaysia)

By SARAH CHEW

A grave accident leaves a young boy paralysed and in a coma. When he awakens, he displays extraordinary abilities. His mother documents their story in a book.

Retha McPherson is a striking woman with piercing eyes and she wears four-inch heels, as can be expected of a former beauty queen.

But those eyes tear up when she speaks about her experiences in 2004, which she writes about in her book, A Message from God, that was launched in Kuala Lumpur recently.

It began on June 19, 2004, the same year Retha, a Christian and an image consultant, was chosen as Mrs South Africa.

“My life was so perfect,” Retha wrote in her book. “I had a wonderful loving marriage, two beautiful healthy children and a successful business.”

All that was to change when the family had a car accident on a highway in Free State, South Africa. In an attempt to avoid a stationary car, her husband, Tinus, swerved onto a watercourse and their vehicle rolled over several times. When Retha came to, her children Aldo, 12, and Josh, three, were gone.

“My children flew out of the car,” recalls Retha at the launch. “When we found Josh, he only had minor cuts but I found Aldo on the other side of the highway. I could feel his cracked skull and blood gushing out. I couldn’t feel a pulse.”

The paramedics arrived on the scene by helicopter, revived Aldo and punctured his collapsed lungs to insert respiratory tubes.

Aldo had a four-hour operation in Union Hospital, Alberton, Johannesburg, and doctors informed Retha he had serious brain injuries.

Tinus, in an e-mail interview, remembers having to deal with the trauma and guilt that followed the accident since Aldo was the one who bore the brunt of it.

“I felt so responsible for the accident and the first few weeks after were the lowest points of my life, seeing him on the bed and not responding to anything,” he says.

“I stayed with him in the intensive care unit for a week and doctors told me to say goodbye to him,” Retha says. “On day 12, they told me, ‘Mrs McPherson, you have no medical funds left and we cannot detect any brain function. So we are going to take Aldo off the life-support machines. Either he lives and becomes a vegetable, or he dies’.”

That day was a defining one for Retha and her family, because as she prayed in a room by herself, she felt as if God was talking to her.

“Despite my son’s condition, it was the best day of my life,” she says. “I felt peace, love and acceptance all at one go. I even forgot about my son, everything just disappeared.”

It was then that she decided to take her son home. Two months after the accident, Aldo left the hospital. Still in a coma, he was hooked up to respiratory machines and a feeding tube.

When he was 12, Aldo was hospitalised and hooked to life support machines after an accident left him paralysed, comatose and severely damaged his brain.

One side of Aldo’s body was paralysed and the other, spastic. He was blind in one eye and could not open his mouth to eat.

But Retha refused to accept his condition and with depleting finances, set out to slowly help her son recover.

At the airport one day, she saw Aldo’s favourite candy called “sour worms” and bought four pieces. Every day, she would stick one in his mouth and on the fourth day, he opened his mouth. From then, she began feeding him soft food.

Six months after the accident, he ate his first hamburger.

At the book launch in KL, Retha showed photos of her family putting Aldo on an exercise bicycle to strengthen his legs although five people had to support him.

As Aldo’s limbs strengthened, Tinus would cycle with him on a tandem bicycle.

“I borrowed a tandem bicycle and put Aldo on the back,” Tinus recalls. “Initially, we had to strap him in, even his hands were tied to the handle bar.

“We soon got the hang of things and three months later, we completed a 40km cycle race.”

Only eight months later could he speak and almost a year after the accident, he could see with both eyes. In April 2006, Aldo stood up for the first time in two years and a year later, he started to play football although he still falls down often.

Aldo’s story

Four months after Aldo’s accident, a therapist suggested putting a pencil in his spastic hand, which eventually relaxed, so that he could doodle.

“I held his hand and he started to write. I knew then that his brain was fine,” says Retha. “Even now in school, people still have to support his wrists when he writes because he has a twitch.”
Aldo communicated through writing and one day, he wrote that he had gone to heaven.

“In heaven, we played and sang for Jesus, the angels were all around us,” Aldo wrote. “No one is sick there.”

Aldo had also written that when Retha found him at the accident scene, his spirit was “taken up” and he could look down and see what had happened and describe the details.

Retha admits that she and Tinus kept all this a secret at first, not wanting people to think that they were mad.

During his recovery, Aldo communicated frequently by writing before he could speak. This is one of his notes in which the first few lines reads 'faith in God'.

Aldo, however, kept telling her about his heavenly experiences and once, kept making a circular motion with his hands over his head.

“Tinus and I asked him to stop it, but he wouldn’t and said it was about two boys, Dwane and Anton, whom he had met in heaven,” Retha reveals.

Aldo wrote letters to these boys’ parents telling them that their children were healed and happy, but were concerned about their parents. He put the letters in envelopes and gave Retha their addresses.

“I thought to myself, ‘This is too much, the medicine is too strong’,” Retha laughs. “I told Tinus that we had to get Aldo off the medicine somehow.”

But Aldo was adamant and in the end, the family made contact with these two families. They found that indeed they had had boys by those names who had died. When shown family photographs, Aldo could point out their faces. Anton had Down Syndrome, and the circular hand motions were Aldo’s way of describing it.

“Anton’s mother told my husband that she had been taking pills for depression,” says Retha.

“But she has gone off the pills since she received Aldo’s letter.”

That was not the only incident which stumped his parents and others around him. One time, he had a “vision” of water flooding housing areas in December 2006.

“He kept telling me to put sandbags around our house because water was coming. Then he wrote
‘Mum, you’re going to need rest because you’re going overseas’,” Retha recalls. “I told him, ‘I’m not going anywhere’, because I usually don’t travel in December.”

Two days later, the Dec 26 Asian tsunami struck and because Retha was Mrs South Africa, she was asked to go and help those affected in Aceh, Indonesia.

Apart from Aldo’s extraordinary ability to “see” difficult situations and people’s thoughts, Retha reveals that he is a normal boy who is struggling with his weaknesses.

One eyelid still droops, he has stitches and bruises due to falling every few steps, he speaks in a painfully slow monotone and has epileptic fits when he is tense.

“When he talks, he puts up his hands even in public, we don’t know why he does it,” she says. “Some people don’t react well to him, especially initially when he hung his head and drooled – people would stare at him and say ‘look at that freak’.”

Tinus describes the entire experience as a “very lonely road” and not many friends were willing to walk the journey with them.

But he and Retha have learnt to take things in their stride, because they have seen the big leaps in Aldo’s recovery.

“Aldo is now in a regular private school where he is the only ‘disabled’ child,” Tinus explains. “He has a private tutor who picks him up at the house in the morning, takes him to school, helps him there and then she will take him to speech and physiotherapy in the afternoon.”

Though Aldo, now 16, has come a long way since the accident and defied medical logic, some have asked Retha if she is disappointed that Aldo is not completely healed.

But Retha points out that people are more likely to believe their story when they see Aldo in his recovery stages. She is thankful for the journey that has made her family selfless.

“I tell my husband that nothing in this world impresses me anymore,” she reveals, adding that she realises that not even good works can make her happy.

She is on a mission to share Aldo’s story.

“Before this, I was an image consultant but today, I do workshops in church sometimes on total image – body, soul and spirit,” she says. “How can you tell women to dress up when they are hurting inside?”

So far, Retha has travelled to the United States, Indonesia and Singapore to promote her self-published book. A Message from God has reportedly sold 25,000 copies around the world.
Retha ended her book launch here on a light note about Aldo’s hope to marry someday. “Aldo is praying for a woman who loves scars!”

He gave it all

2008-06-13T09:34:00.000-07:00

He misses her all the time
He's changed since she's gone
He's more caring
His love is more prevailing
He has us by his side
The greatest love expressed by men
He's being loved all the time
He gave it all.....

A father's love is not those of a women - sensible/emotional/touchy - it has it's own uniqueness and characteristic. Watching over their child in a protective manner is what they always do and how they always play their role. In other words, our earthly "guardian angel".

One who always strives harder to bring back the best for the household, one who takes on the whole world on their shoulders for the family, one who never complains, one who looks just beyond the matter and act emotionally, one who is strict and punitive, one who is firm and bold, one who does all things but love is the root of all actions and decisions made.....

How much sacrifice and toiling have they gone through in this life of theirs since their birth and call from GOD to hold such a strong mandate of leading and being the MAN-of-the-Family! With God's grace on them, everything is possible and many things will work out well. "For man is loving himself when he loves his wife and children" the Bible says. A responsible man of the house will one who cares, loves and puts his family above many other important thing in their own life.

God who is THE heavenly Father is one who has a never - ending love and grace to offer to those who doesnt have an earthly father. One who would hold you so tight and so close not leaving you behind in tough situations, circumstances and when in the valley of challenges. His love will envelope you, will hover you, will fill you till you cant contain it. One which is very satisfying. Nothing can separate us from the love of God..nothing at all..such great news!

Treasure such greatness and goodness that’s already given to us from the very beginning of life ---> Fathers! Appreciate them for who they are though they may not be perfect. God has uniqueness for each one of them.

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY
*may the Lord bless and gives grace to ALL fathers!

by His grace

2008-06-08T11:37:00.000-07:00

Living is all by His grace
Walking and running in life is all by His grace
Being able to breathe is all by His grace
Redeemed, restored and renewed are all by His grace
Everything that I am is all by His grace

It took me a few days to actually reflect on myself and giving thanks to Him who has prepared the way for me eversince I was in my dear mom's stomach. Making me a person who I am today is not what I thought of 10 years ago. It is all by the grace upon my life.

Been up to much since Internship ended and I thank God for the opportunity to be trained in Asia PR for 3 months. Was a great PR company and with great people. Blessings on all of them! After that was the new intake with many new faces and many new opportunities. After that was commencing of the new semester and followed by Joseph and Cathy's wedding.

One thing linking all this is GRACE. There is nothing more than grace in all this after what has happened to the world with China experiencing a devastating earthquake, Myanmar - Cyclone Nargis, India protest/riots and many more not forgetting our own land and the hike of prices in food and petrol. It is still by His grace that everything runs smoothly and that life is still meaningful standing alone away from those "problems".

Nothing is perfect in this world and something that is hard to change in our little minds thinking and always hoping that everything will be perfect now or even one fine day. Frustrations will always follow after. Something contradicts faith and hope in looking forward and on the brighter side. THE DAY is nearing every second and every moment we're taking air. Concentration has to be shifted and shift to what? GRACE it is! A beautiful revelation for one's life.

Let me share something with you?Have you ever done something so bad and so sinful to someone real close with you which involves hurting the person and leaving the person in "exile"? Someone dear to your heart, someone you never thought you will do this to. At this period of time, you definately wont have grace in your dictionary what more forgiveness. After awhile, this person comes to you and forgives you and act as though nothing has happened. Nutty person huh? Shouldnt have any more connection with the other one right? Well, this is an excersizing of grace to one another with love. This may not identify with your situation, but I am sure something along the line in your life will.

I am not worthy of anything that I have in this world and neither is anyone else too. But, because of a great love, His grace has made everything worth it. Joseph& Cathy has just got wedded and it is so wonderful how grace brings 2 totally different person to fall in love and make a lifetime commitment with one another. Something sweet and great. I love weddings! I think it is a such a great time to exhibit grace and love. Thanks to my mentor for the reminder of events and weddings, this time my eyes on wedding has changed a little.

I admit that it is so difficult to exerisice grace but everything has its' first step. And for me to exercise it,it's harder with the fact that I was very impatient. It takes time and lots of patience. Once grace is a norm, you'll leave in a much peaceful life with much guidance and leading.

I thank God that I am who I am by the grace of God!

God bless you!

Psalm 27:10

2008-05-09T10:12:00.000-07:00

It is never the same without you. Many things are so different without your presence. Memories flashes back, laughter to be heard, smiles to be seen, jokes to be cracked, naggings to be "ignored" even the "non-communicative" grins and expressions are all placed into a secret chest inside the heart.

Cherishing every bit of step taken after the dismissal has been tough longing and wanting for your presence along. Wishes are equaled to deep cries of the heart. What in the natural is gone but in the memory stays.

Everything has its purpose and things happen are not accidental. Accepting the fact is another phrase. Even when its not there, something else will come about. I use to blame you for many things, I use to scold you for many things, I use to go against you for many things, but you stand firm and persevered through that phase and now I see the completed picture of it.

"I know her very well" was what mentioned and it was right. No one knows more than that except The Creator. "Reconcile and take care of him" was last said. I couldnt refuse infact, I am more than glad to obey.

The Comfort and Sweetness of Peace
After the clouds, the sunshine,after the winter, the spring,after the shower, the rainbow,for life is a changeable thing.After the night, the morning,bidding all darkness cease,after life's cares and sorrows,the comfort and sweetness of peace.Helen Steiner Rice

Everything works out for good to those who loves Him and walks according to His purpose. Now I understand deeper what and how to appreciate Him in many different sense. No matter how many things fades away from me, HE doesnt and infact stays put with me all the time. He is my heart and soul! Psalm 27:10 says "Even if your mother and father leaves you, I (God) will never leave you" and this has spoken deeeeeeeep into me little cute heart.

What is a Mom?
A mom is one of life's best gifts, Someone to treasure all life through, She's caring and loving, Thoughtful and true, Someone who is always a special part of your life, Someone who holds a prime place in your heart, She's a mentor, a confident and also a friend, Someone on whose love you can depend. A mom always has your best interests at heart, She's someone so dear and so good, She's a blessing, she's a gift, She's a treasure like no other, She's someone that is truly wonderful. Wherever you go, and whatever you do, A mom’s love will always see you through, A mom is truly invaluable, Indispensable and unforgettable. I wouldn't want anyone but you, And that's why I'm so grateful, that life picked you for me.

God is good and He nevers makes a mistake. I treasure every mother that is on this earth still holding the mandate God has given to them to raise children and be the wife of a man. It's something so beautiful. Something so valuable that has to be treasured. My heart goes out to all the mothers for what they have dedicated and sacrificed for.

Happy Mother's day to all Mothers out there! my prayers are with you that God will pour down more grace on you in raising up a planet shaking generation.

The grace, the peace, the love, the faith, the blessings and the guidance of God be with you! Amen!

BOOT CAMP!

2008-05-06T09:59:00.000-07:00

At times when all seemed to go on so well, it takes another turn and turns out to be something not to what it should be or expected. Many times expectation brings you higher than the outcome is to be (get the catch?) It is as though you are in a dream and that dream when it reaches the peak, you either wake up or be dissappointed cause you'll be in another scene.

Many times we make decisions and take actions in our own life and not wanting it be controlled. Living in this world today, the more you make decisions the more "powerful" or "mature" you are and you try to prove it to someone. Is your decision and action wise? That doesnt come to mind at that very point of time. When that turn brings you to somewhere you dont want to be, all foul words will start pouring out from that very small outlet (mouth) destroying your very "mature" image projected earlier. Ego..wow...dont even start...plays a huge part in everyone's life.

"Humble under the mighty hands of God and I will exhalt you"
"God resists the proud BUT gives grace to the humble"

Then comes the process of training. Every life will go through a personal boot camp and in this camp ONLY 2 persons will know deep things (God & you) that needs a change/transformation/renewal you name it... Would I be complaining if I am in this boot camp? Well, honestly I love to stay home and watch tv, slurp some wine with some snacks but instead I was sent to a BOOT CAMP!! for GoodNess Sake!! Then to come and think of it, it's not my will but HIS will to be done. What is the main requirement I need to graduate with from this camp? HUMILITY!! (Humility covers a huge area; responsiveness, change, stubborness, egoism etc)

At this point of time, I started to realise that everything I do, it is not by my strength nor my ability coz everything that I have and posses is not mine. It's His! Learning to lean on Him in every situation (bad,good,sad,happy etc) brings a satisfaction and fullfilment whereby earthly methods cant fullfil. Decisions made and actions taken are all assured by His hands. I thank God that I am placed into many boot camps. Well, I am who I am is by the grace of God and I am sure who you are too. He has made me what I am today way different than who I am before. Who I am today and what is placed in my heart by God is something no men has known (as in, known who Josephine is)

The word of God has clearly stated many promises ready for obtaining at any given time provided you have gone through boot camps and gotten ready for it if not, you're not fit and might give up half way.

I was driving back from work yesterday through Jalan Ipoh and I was at the traffic light (red). As I was waiting, sitting back and listening to music, I realise in the midst of that super busy road comes a handicapped lady on a electronic-remote controlled wheel chair crossing the road infront my car. As she strolled, I was shocked as that road, cars are moving not less than at least 30kmph. Immediately I sent a prayer to God asking for protection over her. One thing I realised after making that request is that her face shows no nervousness or intimidation by those vicious motorist and she just pushed that cute small remote of hers to move forward and stopped at the divider. She waited long and cars were just zooming pass her without any consideration/compassion (cant blame them as they all wanna get home too) and yet she didnt show any sign of despair or dissappointment but stood there and waited even longer. Then came this GOOD SAMARITAN (a gentlemen) who rushed over to her aid (not knowing that she doesnt really need it as she looked as though she's used to it) that man didnt cross leaving her behind though he could have done it many times but he waited and infact tried to "stop" traffic to allow her to stroll pass.

I didnt get to see the "ending" of the "show" but to me, it's an eye opener. This is also how God deals with a person. Seeing yourself handicapped like that lady, He allows you to go through those difficulties. The GOOD SAMARITAN, yea...God will run over to you sacrificing everything else just to help you cross over though you MAY not need His help. We always think that we dont really need His help when we do coz without that man trying to stop the traffic (red light didnt apply for part of the road), I am sure it was somewhat impossible to cross over what more in a electronic wheel chair which is slower than manually pushing it. I thought to myself, if that women was arrogant, egoistic and stubborn to even allow the man to help, well..she'll probably spend more time waiting than actually crossing over.

Enjoy whatever boot camp you are being placed into. Open for changes though it's not normal and comfortable but it's always for a higher and greater purpose! Be humble and responsive! Not only will you gain, it's a plus and bonus value imputed into your life. I thank God that no matter what changes it is and that people cant understand that makes me seemed alone, He is always there to pat me and give me a boost up! There is definately no other like YOU!

FIREFLIGHT

2008-04-25T11:41:00.000-07:00

This is a band that I just got to know while reading The Star newspapers in the morning and I think they're pretty cool especially in what they are called to do.....

Abstracted from their website:

Are you accused or beaten down?Want to dream again? Reach your destiny?DO NOT BE AFRAID.Faith is moving without knowing.No one can touch you, nothing can stop you.You are UNBREAKABLE.
All you need to do -- is trust

This is one of my favourite songs and its lyrics are super meaningful. I will upload their video when I am able to do so here in my blog but at the mean time, you could click here and watch this video. I must warn you, there is more than what meets the eye (haha what i mean is, there is more to what you see in the video. Hope you catch it)

This are the lyrics to the song.... You Decide..

Fiction and Reality collide

Faceless and so busted up inside

You’ve been searching you’ve been crying out,

Will you be destroyed by all your doubt

You decide

Who will you run to

Wrong or right

There is no reason

For you to hide

Only love can change your life

You decide

God is calling out to you again,

Let Him pull you, let Him take you in

From the fear that swallows up your life,

Will you stay the same or will you fight

Every day you hold on to your lonely broken heart

It’s tearing you apart

God is calling out to you just let healing start

Will you open up and let Him in

How are you inspired?

2008-04-16T09:17:00.000-07:00

Great things happens to us everyday. The only matter is whether you realise it / see it or not. Great things are always inspired by something/someone/somehow. How are you inspired to go to college? Is that what you really call inspiration or force or some would put it as a duty of a child? How are you inspired when you're at work? To come to think of it, it is not an easy question to answer.

*Come and share with me by leaving comments in this write up on how are you inspired by some of the very normal things you to in your every day*

For me, I am inspired by one person about life and by getting this wonderful inspiration, it fits into all shoes that I have to fit in and able to use it in a condition (haha...better than Nike's ACG shoes) In fact, people created and walking in what God wants are also my inspiration. The smallest people, the most unknown person, the most broken person, the most imperfect person what more to say of every other aspect, THEY ARE MY INSPIRATION! (there are just too many to include in the list)

How was I inspired by all this? I guess my curiosity in knowing many things and also the gift that God gave me to be observant. I love to see many things from many aspects and angles. Being inspired also will bring to the next stage, dreaming... (nope, you're wrong...NOT day-dreaming) it is those dreams like Datuk Fernandes(CEO AirAsia) had and even Idris Jala (MAS Managing Director) has to turn things around and in fact making it a huge success. I have a dream! (Martin Luther)

What is this girl talking about dreams so much and looking at something that is not able to be done and why is she looking so far?

Oh how great a dream turns out to be in reality. A foundation is being laid in my life for something and it is all because I was simply inspired by someone and somewhere in a separate occasion which wasnt the very first reason/purpose I was there for. Then, an inspiration turned into a dream and now, the dream becoming a reality.

I can proudly boast and say that my GREATEST INSPIRATION is -------> JESUS CHRIST! He holds the key to many great things in life and I have that key to unlock those great things! If you are wondering why is it Jesus Christ so inspirational? Check out His lifestyle, His heart, His mannerism, His way of conduct, His teachings, His values and most of all,His authority. You will be so amazed about everything and to be like that, we gotto be so much more inspired and walk the talk!

Lastly, what are you wanting to be inspired of? I just hope that by sharing / desiring from your heart, God will hear it and it will all be planned and worked out for you.

*a baby needs to know how to turn around, crawl, stand up,balance, walk and then run in a process. that baby cant be rushed instead being looked after closely and carefully. In the end, the baby is able to do everything without assistance*

never rush something.take it in its timing and process.eventually, you will get to run with top speed & achieving great success!

Seed sowers!

2008-04-08T07:23:00.000-07:00

Hey hey, surprise with the title? "what do you mean seed sowers?" "we're in KL, what's it got to do with sowing seeds, we're not farmers"

well, like it or not, somehow / somewhat, we are all farmers sowing seeds in everything we do in our lives. Good things, useful things, values, bad habits, bad/good examples and many more running down from many categories.

The Bible speaks about it too "I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God gave the increase" & also "reap what you sow. sow happiness, reap happiness, so sadness, reap sadness" Many times you realise, a farmer would just do his JOB (sowing seeds) into the ground, does he know how much will he reap? will he be thinking "i put one seed, i will reap 5 fruits" Nope he doesnt, but all he does is that he hopes and wishes with all his heart that he will reap a bountiful harvest when the time comes. the most he can do is to nurture the ground and make sure that the ground is a good ground for seeds to grow and not be left alone/spoilt.

This is something so true in where we are living, in where we are working, in where we are studying or even at where we are going at any given point of time. A friend of mine, i was on the phone with her spilling my heart out over a certain issue, and she made this one point over a sms after that "why am i not an engineer or even a lawyer, instead a farmer..." and then it seriously strucked me on how much input she had in my life and i started going through the things i have learnt from her. This is such a great finding as little that she knew, she had impacted another life and changed many perceptions and methods of handling things.

Then i started looking back at my own life. I thought to myself, "how many lives have i impacted?" (this thought doesnt come to gain glory and praise for myself but to look at things on a positive note and view) Then it dawn upon me that I have also impacted many lives and these lives are better life than they were before. This is something God is so happy about, why? This is what He said "You did not choose Me, but I have chose you to go and impact the world" this is saying that God has pre-picked His people to impact the world. Yes, the world is such a HUGE place but start with those around you. Just go wild with me with your imagination awhile, just imagine that the world is filled with people who are just impacting every other lives around and everything just goes so smoothly and you can see the fire burning within their hearts and many are lifted up (emotionally, mentally, spiritually etc) and many are moving towards what they want or ought to be.

I would love to see this and I am sure to a certain degree this can be achieved. How much you desire and want to impact those around you and then to a larger "circle" all depends on your heart. Many times, we, limited little cute creation of God are just incapable of reaching those "figures" & imaginative "dreams" but, like what i received, though a little, it is an impact. You got to agree with me - it's better little, than nothing

DONT you think that you are so Insignificant that what ever you do, it is as though you did nothing. Your "little" will contribute to the bigger picture. If a nail would say that it is so small and wouldnt be a significant object in a building&the other nails would think the same thing, the building might have flaws and there would be a possibility of collapsing. This picture (taken from The Star, 7th April 2008-by my SE K770i) is missing 2 front legs as it is deformed. But this wonderful dog has the determination to carry with life (haha..see how it walks like a human). There is one line which really is an eye - opener for me "You can be imperfect physically and still be perfect through your soul, through your spirit" This is just a great thing. You may not have to be "cacat" physically, it may even be in your mind thinking "i am so small, i am so useless, i am not that good, i dont have the ability etc etc etc"

*owh owh, this wonderful dog, has impacted MANY MANY lives and brought cheer to may dying patients at the hospital and even brought joy&hope to kids*

Thoughts can just bound you to your seat and not moving forward (how to impact lives?) I like to say "never let yourself be a hindrance to your ownself" just get out of that comfortable box of yours and start doing what you think you need to do, once you start, you wont stop. (dont think that it is an easy road) - just persevere "challenges of life tests and builds a person's character"

I urge you to get up and be an impact in your study group, in your soccer team, in your class, in your course, in your work place, in your family, in your organisation or wherever you are. The world needs more genuine impactful people to be able to see the world heal (well, even hot issue of global warming could be healed) starting from individuals. this is like a "disease" it will spread... start by sowing! sowing and you will be repaid back (how? watch and see)

WONDERS!

2008-04-05T00:26:00.000-07:00

WOW!!! after 5 years waiting and praying, finally i've gotten my very own, brand new guitar!!!

It cost me quite a lot to get it, but thanks to my bro in Christ who could get it at good price and yet good performance guitar (semi-acoustic). All this while, been using a 2nd hand guitar which has been around for quite some time and i knew it wouldn't last long (looking at the way i use it and how much i "whack" the guitar) I thank God that finally it has ARRIVED!!! haha!!! Gonna be using it alot mahn.. yeaps...especially for higher purpose work ;p

Owh owh..and i just discovered (as i am not those who has so much time to play with gadget) that my SE K770i handphone could take such great pics! check this out..

This pic was taken in Vincent's car on the way to KLIA at 100kmph man!! my SE K770i that i invested on is really worth it!!

This pic was taken on the 2nd of April when that day, at around 3pm, the whole KL city was overshadowed with dark and thick black clouds (just like Independance Day the movie) and I reached the place i stay and was walking for dinner when i suddenly realised (at 7.10pm) how nice the sky looked. i took out my (yet again) SE K770i handphone and snapped this. Marvelous I thought!

*see how light shines THROUGH darkness*

Sony Ericcson K770i. Available in grey, purple and white! Out in stores world wide :)

Doing promotion for them huh? well, if it is something worth it and I think money "invested" into that gadget wont be void as it really lives up to it's image and functions. For more info on the phone, check out the SE website( :P )

Well, so much for glory on the stuff i have... not so much compared to the glory of the process of obtaining all this stuff. How great God can be. the Bible speaks about "God hearing your desires of the heart" even in the smallest issues and matters, He cares. What have you done to please Him so that He pleases you back? How can a person go an ATM machine (with the intention of withdrawing money) but doesn't have any cash inside the bank?

It is WONDERFUL when God does something you like and when you get something you like (or perhaps, want) but how WONDERFUL can it be when you do something He likes/want? Just like this picture on the right, you see the road, you see the goal/finish line (the sun) but do you think you will ever reach there?

This is the beauty of life (do you see it by looking at the pic?) let me explain. The sun is like the glory of your life where it is "so near yet so far" and the journey of your life (represented by the winding road) is your path to the glory/fulfillment. Along the way, as much as it may seem that it is just a straight path, you will come to find out that, life is not that straight (neither is it a bed of roses).

BUT what drives you to reach the end? Succumb to pressures of life? Stress of life? Sicknesses? Problems? Gosh...Life is too interesting and too much to comprehand.

In my life, i always wanted many things, want to achieve many things, reaching many goals, becoming somebody significant etc etc etc till at one stage, pressure of life became too much to handle and i started losing the real purpose in life and looking down that road (as in picture) is just dreadful. It was boring and dull. The beautiful illustration of life just vanished and became grey. If i didnt get the guitar/even the SE phone, I wouldnt say "life's boring with out the things i want" or something similar to that "complaint".

I started to treasure many things in my life since I knew how much life really meant and how much God has put in for one person to be in this place of dwelling. The world may seem all dark, but like the picture above (the one i took with my phone), light can always go through and shine brightly in the darkness.Would you like to be the light that shines through darkness of this world? I am sure you would like to, I certainly would!

Friends, what you're going through is just a fraction of what you are able to grasp. The world needs many wonders to happen and it only can be worked through laid down lives of individuals! The world is crying out for more WONDERS to happen even in little areas (providence of food, providence of shelter, providence of care & love, etc)

How WONDERFUL can this world be defined when many parts of the world aren't able to even smell HOPE! the wind of change is coming... be a part of it...!!!!

Psalm 72:18 "Praise the Lord God, the God of Israel,who alone does such wonderful things."

The New Chapter of Life

2008-03-30T08:29:00.000-07:00

Been super tied up and about for the past 4 days. Didnt stop till today. Stilll doing some "house - keeping" well, for some you know what I am talking about ----> Vincent & Abby's Wedding!

my heart goes out to them. and yes, they just tied the knot on the 29th of March 2008, 10am at Flamingo Hotel b4 the Father, Son & Holy Spirit. Am happy for these 2 and it'll be a new chapter of life together. Life is JESUS is wonderful what more after tying the knot with yet another loved one and LOVE has been all great ever since HE first loved us. God's love for us CANNOT and will never be separated from us by anything, being what ever it is. Why? Coz, HE is the ULTIMATE LOVE (Giver) and as the couple exchanged vows and professed their commitment b4 God, this COVENANT shall not be broken.Which is the same as Christ where His love / covenant of love shall and WILL never be broken from us (YOU)

My new chapter of life wasn't marriage but was in June 21st 2003 where my life took THE BIGGEST and WIDEST U-Turn ever and it has been all great since then. A new chapter keeps coming as I got closer to the REAL purpose of life and many chapters just added into my book of life. It is more interesting than any story tellers can tell you (not claiming glory for self but just gratitude to God) I love it when challenges comes, it only pushes a person to it's maximum and therefore once max-ed up, you'll be expanded more. Stress/tension? sure...but He gives me assurance and peace all the time. Love it!

After organising this wedding (for the first time), it only opened my eyes to how much wedding is all about compared to how much being married to God is. You know the diff? well, I cant explain it here as this is more like a personal "eye-opener" and I just hope that you would see it and know what I saw :)

Desire a new chapter whenever you think your chapter has gone grey or cold and ask for a refreshing chapter ahead. Your desires will and are always heard and answered (just as long it is good) My wishes to the newly wedded couple and even to you to those who actually finds out what their new chapter of life is (don't get me wrong, not asking you to get a bf and get married). I pray that God will open your eyes and show you. I shall end here as many things I know will be spoken to you directly from another source.

LOVE transcends MANY THINGS!

Who shall ever separate us from Christ's love? Shall suffering and affliction and tribulation? Or calamity and distress? Or persecution or hunger or destitution or peril or sword?

Nothing can separate you from God's love!

The Real Fact

2008-03-20T20:50:00.000-07:00

Below is a report I read in the news and I think it is very true. Let me tell you, religion defined as the practice of religious beliefs; ritual observance of faith is something mechanical which I think a person should get into a real relationship with the ONE a person believes in. Well, it'll make a whole lot of difference. Just check out the report though it is all still categorizes as "religion" due to the belief and norm of the world.

Purpose of life

Even though churchgoers were unsurprisingly more likely to oppose divorce, they were both less psychologically affected by marital separation when it did happen, he said. "What we found was that religious people were experiencing current day rewards, rather than storing them up for the future." However, he said that the nature of the surveys used meant that undetected factors, perhaps in the lifestyle or upbringing of religious people, such as stable family life and relationships, could be the cause of this increased satisfaction. The precise contribution of religion to mental health remains controversial, although there is other evidence that it does directly improve happiness, said Professor Leslie Francis, from the University of Warwick.
He said that the benefit might stem from the increased "purpose of life" felt by believers.
He said: "These findings are consistent with other studies which suggest that religion does have a positive effect, although there are other views which say that religion can lead to self-doubt, and failure, and thereby have a negative effect. "The belief that religion damages people is still in the minds of many."
