Tests

Recently I thought about christian life, and about life. In life there are many tests or tribulations, for everyone it is a own unique journey but I compile it into the following.

1. Value
2. Lust
3. Handling Resources
   
4. Relationship
5. How you fight for your faith
6. Unanswered prayer or Presence
   

Value,
sometimes God will test you to see if you put your faith in HIM, or you place your value in your money, possessions, intellect and worldly stuff. If you place your values on worldly stuffs God will use occasions or events to reprove you and cause to see that at the end of the day it is God that we should put faith and value on not the world's stuff. And as I said in my last post, God shows His glory to SAVE not to show off. In Matthew 3:8 Jesus gave the best example

8 Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. 9 And he said to Him, “All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me.”
10 Then Jesus said to him, “Away with you,^[d] Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the LORD your God, and Him only you shall serve.’”^[e]
11 Then the devil left Him, and behold, angels came and ministered to Him.

Jesus placed His values on the Everlasting God not not in the world.

Satan uses the world's riches to tempt people and making them value the world more than God's eternal salvation, a good example will be in the following scripture(Luke 12) of the CONSEQUENCES

The Parable of the Rich Fool

16 Then He spoke a parable to them, saying: “The ground of a certain rich man yielded plentifully.
17 And he thought within himself, saying, ‘What shall I do, since I have no room to store my crops?’
18 So he said, ‘I will do this: I will pull down my barns and build greater, and there I will store all my crops and my goods.
19 And I will say to my soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years; take your ease; eat, drink, and be merry.”’
20 But God said to him, ‘Fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have provided?’
21 “So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”

Lust,

Adultery in the Heart

27 “You have heard that it was said to those of old,^[c] ‘You shall not commit adultery.’^[d]
28 But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

Men as we all know have problem with lusting after beautiful women and carrying out lustful acts in the mind by the hand, But Jesus said if we lust after a woman and imagine carrying out sexual acts on her, we have already sinned. I know that it is a very difficult thing but IF you notice the verse bellow you can triumph over sexual sin .

Mark10:27 But Jesus looked at them and said, “With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible.”

Satan favorite tactic for youths and young teenagers is LUST, to make them do immoral and sexual deeds to dishonor God. But how can we teenagers who are have enraged hormones control ourselfs? By focusing on Jesus, Ask Jesus to help you, Think of what He did to save you from sin! How He was crucified to the cross, beaten up, bled and every drop of blood is for US. In my case when I focus on Lord Jesus and on how He suffered for me I just STOP, my lusts are gone, vanished! By the blood of Jesus all my sins and thoughts are vanished.

I love to use psalms 119 , Matthew 5:27 to attack satan for it is said, "God's word is a double edged sword". Here are the verses

Psalms 119
9 How can a young man cleanse his way?
By taking heed according to Your word.
10 With my whole heart I have sought You;
Oh, let me not wander from Your commandments!
11 Your word I have hidden in my heart,
That I might not sin against You.
105 Your word is a lamp to my feet
And a light to my path.

Handling resources,

God likes to also see how you handle your resources

Matthew 25:14-30 [GO READ IT UP]

29 ‘For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away. 30 And cast the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

If you cant even handle your time/money/gifts well How can GOD give you more??? You need prayer and plan to handle everything well and let it be pleasing to God.


RELATIONSHIPS,

What type of person are you? Do you handle your relationships well?

Ezekiel 22:9

9 In you are men who slander to cause bloodshed; in you are those who eat on the mountains; in your midst they commit lewdness.

Proverbs 11:13

13 A talebearer reveals secrets,
But he who is of a faithful spirit conceals a matter.

Are you a gossip/someone who reveal other people's private and secret stuffs? Or are you the type who bully and take advantage of your friends/brothers sisters.

Proverbs 26

18 Like a madman who throws firebrands, arrows, and death,
19 Is the man who deceives his neighbor,
And says, “I was only joking!”

DO NOT take advantage or bully a person then say you are joking for the bible says you are a MADMAN.

Now besides handling your relationships with friends now how do you handle your relationship with your family? The blbie tells us to honor our father and mother :)

Ok lets move on

How you fight for your faith

Sometimes God will allow people to come into your life and attack you, attack you in the faith as Jesus already said, many will persecute you for His sake but you will be blessed. However how will you uphold your faith? Many times I meet people who are smarter or intellectually more gifted than me and it is hard for me to share the gospel with them but I will not agree with them and lose my faith in God. We have to learn how to pray for wisdom in handling such matters.

But your attitude matters, if your the type where when someone attacks your faith then you just take it as a joke and laugh it off, then your "losing", and your representing Jesus and your "losing". You may fail at a debate but your attitude should be "Sorry God forgive me for failing You to prove that Your the God , Lord give me strength and wisdom and let this person believe that Your the way, life and truth"

Defend your faith dearly beloved :)

Unanswered prayer or Presence

Sometimes God will leave you and test you. You may feel a spiritual depression and not feel God but you must know this GOD IS ALWAYS THERE!!! But think of this as a test. Many times we say we Love God , we Desire God,we Trust God but HOW TRUE IS THAT???

It can only be prove it when God turn back and watch from afar, in this we can analyze ourselves and God can TEST us to see if we really Love Him or just using our words.

In the bible God did that to a king, but I forgot the chapter so share next time :)

And also unanswered prayer. Before we ask this question analyze this

• Is this prayer for my own ego or wants
  
• Is this prayer going to stumble anyone or me
  
• Is this prayer needed?

If you pray for a million dollars, is thas to satisfy your own ego hence, sin women etc
Is it going to stumble me and affect my relationship with God? and do I really need this 1000000 dollars?

Well I end this sharing now bahs :)

Cooking class

Dearly beloved :)

Recently I took up some basic cooking from aunt Jan, I wanted to upgrade myself in all aspects and going to do more reading in literature/history too so borrow me any good books :)

Managed to learn 2 dishes, my favorite was still the pancakes......Its relatively easy to do too, mix the dough and fry it, mash fresh strawberries and place the creamy butter on the side of the plate. However if your curious :p the other dish I learned is Thai green curry, unfortunately I did not took any pictures of it.

Uncle Francis passed me a lot of new books, on Old testament reading plans, theology, maps of Moses's journey and literature.

I will enjoy reading all the books.

Tuesday sharing

Today as I was reading the bible, John chapter 1. I was reading how the word was with God and the Word was God, and this word BECAME FLESH. So this is a process of how this pure and perfect word became flesh.

Then I was thinking since Jesus is the word, then isn't it that when we read the bible we are reading Jesus?? Since Jesus is the word, so I concluded that when we READ the bible we become more and more like Him, but NOTE we must be DOERS of the word for in James 1:22-26 says

22But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

23For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:

24For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.

25But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

26If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.

He who says he reads and listens to the word of God but do not DO it , is only deceiving and lying to himself. But when that person reads,listen and do the word and will of God, the person will become more and more like Jesus, as He is the word of God.

I will do more bible studies and share more about the word soon, but now let us all DO the will of Him :)

Tuesday

Woke up early today, went for PE and there was a test which was thankfully easy as I worked in the gym but there were a couple of questions I did not understand but the teacher manage to go through.

Then went for programming lesson and completed chapter 5 and there was a final question which I did not do as I did not want to agitate my teacher haha, the class is still doing chapter 4 but for me I am going onto chapter 6 but I know all of this is possible not because of my own knowledge but because of God's blessing.

I skipped math and went to meet hy,ivy and Ariel. I was there at 1.58pm and I remembered hy said meet there at 2pm but I was waiting and reading a book "charismatic 101" by jeffrey khoo of febc. But there was no one !!! Then hy call me and apologize and said meet at 2.30......so waited till 245 then saw ivy and Ariel.

Went to tecman and we were exploring like little children and time just passed by and 2hrs30mins passed. After we choose everything paid, and went to bugis village........I was again waiting for the girls to shop and look at watches. Apparently there were no suitable watch so we went to "soup spoon" for dinner, ivy introduced the mushroom soup which was not bad but the mushroom scent was overwhelming.

After everything went to the mrt and I went home, I bought 2 books

Advance bible study and Master plan of evangelism.

I got something to share which I will post later

Today part 2

So I was reading and then went to school which was super slack and I prayed for wisdom so went ahead and teacher just let me go surf net and friendster etc......lol

then went to bedok library and burger king , I just sat there in the Burgerking and ate,ate,ate and I saw many interesting things, as I was facing the glass, I saw people walking haha, and read a book on handling money the christian way, also read my super worn out Kjv which my uncle gave me...... I thought of buying another new study bible but Kjv but was discouraged as I no $ then mum suddenly came in and gave me 5oBUCKS!!!! I was like HALLELUJAH!!!!!

Apparently my mum stroke lottery as she is not a chistian but I believe one day she will be :) and my whole family too :)

I did some research on Kjv, apparently I found some stuff.
and I wrote a email to de en for some clarification. Heres my email.

"Modern bible versions corrupt?"

Hi bro hows your studies recently

:) Anyways I recently got alot of different versions of the bible and stumbled on this thing call the "Kingjames only" movement, It talks about kingjames is the pure and correct version compared to modern versions i.e. Niv,NLT,NAS,ESV,CSV.....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfQMoLuVT1s&feature=related

They talked about some translator used the wrong version of the hebrew and greek manuscrips like wescott and hort and I did learn alot of intersting facts.

Like NIV translator some of them are not even christian and there is a lesbian translator in the team also the head of the translation team is a homosexual!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4tVIhCM5Yk

Cetain words from the bible in the modern versions are taken out..... Haha interesting subject too bad your not in singapore, I think its best that I use KJV and NASB for reference.

Today

HAhaha I have no monday blues man :) cuz I have GOD hallelujah

Yesterday night had nightmares, I think was demonic attack lol, anways in my dream I was attacked then I kept using the word of GOD, and it seems I was quite confident in Him and somehow I won but when I woke up I was like cold and heart was beating fast.........

Then I read my KJV which I have not used for a super long time.....

Psalm 27

1The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

2When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.

3Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.

4One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.

5For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.

6And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.

7Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.

8When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.

9Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.

10When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.

11Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.

12Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.

13I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.

14Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.

I want to share a couple of things.

Verse 1 The Lord is my light and salvation.
David used the word "my" which means it is a very personal relationship between us and the Lord thats why in John 1:12 it says to them He gave power to be sons of God......so we call Him Father :)


Psalms 119:105 "Thy word is a lampunto my feet, and a light unto my path" With the Father's light and guidance we can know righteousness and not sin against Him, and will be protected from all the evil ones.

Salvation: If the Lord is with you who can be against you ? If your life is in the Hand of God of whom shall you be afraid and fear??? In Him there is no darkness or death,there is Light and eternal life( read Romans 6:9, John 1:4) what I say are based in the bible not my own words..

And one more is "the strength of our life" Deutronomy 31:6 tell us not to be afraid for the Lord thy God, He it is that doth go with thee. He will be fighting with us!!!(refer to Deutronomy 1:30 The Lord your God which goeth before you, He shall fight for you....")

Verses 2-3, When wicked people/things and even if a people encamp to destroy david, it only made him more CONFIDENT IN HIM......Why? Because when the Lord is with you, you cannot fail!!! and the LIGHT will be shown to those in the darkness.

I find it weird that only when people are punished or placed in a bad circumstance that they believe and trust and seee God.

BUT

from the later verses we can see that david DESIRED one thing

"To dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life"

Haha david desired to stay with the Lord :)
I read in a book once that the holier a christian becomes the less he/she desires of the world and wants to be with the Lord!!!

And david's reason is to behold the beauty of the Lord and to inquire in his temple.

I checked the dictionary and to inquire is to seek information by questioning; ask: to inquire about a person.

The Lord is just so beautiful and Holy that you just want to stay with Him and ask questions of His magnificience.

thats my sharing untill now, Go READ THE WORD OF GOD :)

understand the rest of the verses!!!!!!!

Lo, behold His love and tender mercies and change for the glory of God the most high, and be led by the Holy Ghost though our most beloved Lord and saviour Jesus christ ....hallelujah amen

Friday

Wow finally its friday, I have been waiting for this for a long time, so today woke up and prayed, went to school was the first one to complete my work and did everything neatly and was able to be dismissed early, I want to thank God for the knowledge He gave me.

Then went to cca and was told to sell off chrismas cards so I took my bundle and went to meet uncle francis and aunt jan for lunch, and went to KFC in bedok int to talk about life, I heard and Praise the Lord for blessing brother ghee yean (a common friend of me and uncle francis) someone opened a company and asked bro ghee yean to be the General manager of the whole company. It is really a very encouraging testimony.

Then also talked about stocks and options, uncle was super funny, cuz he told me of 3 stocks/options which will rise in price but his friend forgot to buy for him, and the gain was 30-120percent, thats like u put in 100 become 220 dollars!!!

But overall it was a nice chat, then went home practice guitar and was shocked that my skills improved, I think it is the blessing of the Lord, when a person wants to put in effort serving the Lord the person will be blessed.

I still praying about the church thing bahs.....

oK I will be having dinner soon :)

18-11-08

Skipped school today as I wanted to check out some books and bibles at tecman with henry. I already know I am ahead of the class but I will put in respondsibilitiy to study for GOD. But today was kinda fun :)

Went to meet henry in tampines and chatted awhile with him and his friend, then we reached bugis and the feeling is like kids at a candystore. tecman were FILLED with books on christianity and bibles :)

We went to checkout and discuss what books to buy, and eventually henry bought 50-60 dollars worth of books and I bought 2 books.

People may ask why I spend so much on books bibles etc, well this verse answer itself.

1 “Ho! Everyone who thirsts, Come to the waters;And you who have no money,Come, buy and eat.Yes, come, buy wine and milk.Without money and without price.

2 Why do you spend money for what is not bread,And your wages for what does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good,And let your soul delight itself in abundance.

3 Incline your ear, and come to Me.Hear, and your soul shall live;And I will make an everlasting covenant with you—The sure mercies of David.

I bought a book at riverlife and saw this pamphlet and it was about donating money to rural coutries to buy clean water, clothes and food for the kids, I plan to save and send it to them, discussed with henry I think we will need to save to give.

Probably in few weeks time then I can do it.But I have to learn to spend my money wisely in the Lord, I will ask myself everytime I spend money that "can I glorify the Lord?"

My goal now is to grow spiritualy mature in Him. amen

17/11

Today was another amazing day, yesterday I spend the night praying for all the brethren, sisters in Christ. Then this morning when I woke up I couldn't find my thumdrive and searched my whole house high and low but I was not really in panic as I know

24 When you lie down, you will not be afraid;
Yes, you will lie down and your sleep will be sweet.

25 Do not be afraid of sudden terror,
Nor of trouble from the wicked when it comes;

26 For the LORD will be your confidence,
And will keep your foot from being caught.

And suddenly an image flashed into my mind, I remember having tuition at my cousins house (my cousin live just 2 stories below my house hehe) but I was worried as I don't want to disturb my cousin so early in the morning, then I packed up and prepare to go to school so walked near the lift then I was SHOCKED.....I saw my cousin walking out preparing to work WHAT A TIMING, then I ask if I left my thumdrive there and HALLELUJAH!!! praise the Lord it was THERE !!!!!

I got it and went to school, and today was very slack, so went to the gym to work from 1pm-7pm, and I planed to study all day and pray in the gym as it is kinda quiet in the afternoon.

I spend 2Hours30Mins studying the bible and bible study methods, I spend 20 mins praying, I spend 1Hour drinking water and resting meditating and enjoying the Love in the Lord, I spend 1Hour30Mins studying my maths and ENJOYED lt :)

Time seem to pass fast and I went back and sms henry to meet tomorow to help him choose some books, I plan to skip school tomorow as I am already ahead of the class, so I want to spend the whole day tomorow praying, reading the word of God and studying.

I have found new ways to study the bible and enjoying it :)

Recent thoughts 16-11

Wow I feel super blessed and joyful this week, I feel thank the blessings of my brothers and sisters of macedonia and GOD's mercy and grace to me :)

Recently I have been doing extensive bible studies and learning some songs then when I went to riverlife today was shocked cuz it was the same things that I was reading and songs I am learning.

Deutronomy 3-4, about God's promise and warnings to the Jews, then after the amazement the worship leader talked about Jeremiah chapter 17, which is linked to Psalms 1, the one about "How blessed is the man that.....", and when it was time to sing I was shocked again, its the song I have been singing!!!!

Then went to macedonia and it was about john the baptist which I also read few weeks ago, and I kinda got shocked again.....

I really feel GOD is using certain messages and teaching me His ways and will. Then after that was bible class which I enjoy cuz we did a sharing about charismatic churches and about alot of cool stuff :)

Talked about youth which I will share about in future blogs, my topic will be "Why are our youths not having success(spiritually and physically)".

Also went to had dinner with , zh, yy, hy, hs..... enjoyed the meal, also bought a book on bible studying which seems super cool :)
Hong shing did something really bad but did not admit to it, I was suddenly inspired to use Matthew chapter 7:12 on him, "Do on to others as you would to yourself", it seems shing seems to understand but he don't want to apply haha looks like I must pray more for him.

Then later going to do bible study and praying for people and my studies. I know God will answer my prayers but in His own mysterious ways, I don't know if I can do super well or score A for everything but I know, no matter what happens may HE get the glory!!!

I think my math test is a good testimony, cuz I really put everything aside and just thought of giving Him glory, and I got A (92/100). But I think I didn't score 100 because I still have abit of pride but it is time that I shed all my pride away and "Let Jesus be exalted and I be faded away".

I recently also feel something , something big is going to happen in my life, a transformation? a purpose? a upgrade?....I don't know but I know that I want to love the FATHER,SON,HOLY SPIRIT everyday more and more.

And I can feel His love stronger and His word more delicious everyday, psalms 19:20 says that Scripture is sweeter than HONEY!!!

How I delight in Him and His word everyday, may I do what psalms 21 is saying "May I dwell in the house of the Lord forever" :)

Hallelujah praise Jesus, our Lord and saviour , our King, Father I ask that you may use all of us brothers and sisters to your glory amen :)

Daniel contiued

Here are a continued sharing Read chapter 3-4

You will learn that daniel and his friends still continued to follow these few principals even they became super successful what are these principals??

1. Even in tribulation or tests, dont bow down to "idols"
2. Have confidence in Him

V1-16 shows that those teens depended on Him an did not bow before hte image of nebuchadnezza. Though they were forced and placed in a stressful situation they REFUSED to bow down before that trial.

Their answer/response in V17 shows their boldness and attitude in GOD, "God will deliever us from the burning furnace and from your hand"(My expression) I should actually adopt this attitude.

We teenagers are always in an identity crisis and peer pressure often forces us to "worship" things like money,drugs,smoking,sinning etc...... But we must remember who we are

"Exepeted from "Stomping out the darkness(borrowed to me by de en)"

Matthew 5:13 We are the salt of the earth
Matthew 5:14 We are the light of the earth
John 1:12 We are the child of GOD
John 15:1,5 We are the part of the true vine, and Christ's life flows through us
John15:15 We are Christ's friend
John15 16 We are chosen by Christ to bear fruit
Acts 1:8 We are Christ's personal witness sent out to tell everyone bout Him
Romans 6:18 We are slaves of righteousness
Romans6:22 We are the slaves of GOD making us holy and giving us eternal life
Romans8:14 We are the children of God we can call Him by Father
Galatians3:26


There are many more but I typed out a few first

Anyway their confidence in HIM is amazing, indeed GOD delievered them and comforted them V24-25 JESUS PERSONALLY CAME!!!!!!!

God was glorified!!!!!!!!!!! V26-30
V28 tells that Nebuchadnezzar praised GOD.

The unbelieving king was changed and repented amazed by GOD :)

Daniel chapter 1-2

Here is a short and sweet sharing about the book of Daniel.

But the reason I chose the book of Daniel is because Daniel is a good example for us, here is some info about Daniel

1. Abducted by the babylonians at age of around 15-16
2. Shows to depend and worship GOD even in time of peer pressure and tribulations
3. Is a teenager whom know his identity in GOD
4. Brought a king to believe GOD (haha how difficult is that imagine getting the president to be christian)

The main point is because the book of Daniel relates to use as he himself is a teenager and he reacted to situations in a very godly way.

ok heres my sharing



I learned to apply a few things

1. Set your heart upon GOD
2. Depend on Him
   
3. Have confidence in Him
4. Let His glory be known through you

Daniel started by proposing in his mind/heart V1:8 in the Lord, and he handled his personal affairs with wisdom.

Daniel's end result was very successful in the Lord,
v15 They looked better
V17 they were given Knowledge, Wisdom and Understand
V20 They were TEN TIMES BETTER thank all of the other teenagers and wise men.

in V2:20 Daniel's prayers revealed his views and dependance of God

And the Lord was glorified in v24-49
inso daniel was blessed by the Lord in v48

GO AND READ HIS WORD !!!! ENJOY GOD'S WORD IN YOUR LIFES AND BE ENCOURAGED!!!!!!!!!!!

Testimony

:) Blessed be our GOD, the GOD of the heavens and the earth, GOD of Abraham, Isaac, Moses, Daniel and all of the saints.

The Lord was glorified through my exam results, I got 92, had a careless mistake but was humbled by that experience. I learned on how to depend on the LORD and give Him glory, when I did that test I just told myself, "Lord may the glory be yours not mine hallelujah".

And I did not cheat or depend on my papers, ha ha I think more than half of the class depended on some help. But my conscience was clear and I get to see my real strength, cuz if I had cheated I could not have seen my full potential. Not sure if I am the top of class but I know I did not cheated and gave my best to GOD.

I thank Him for the blessings and the wisdom I was given these few days and everything seems cool.

:)

11/11

Wow today is another blessed day :)

Went to school but prayed for my maths test before I went and while I was bathing I came up with a reading plan for my bible reading......hehe alot of people feel weird cuz even though test coming up le I still doing bible study and reading but I want to take myself out of the picture and focus in the LORD.

I read NLT in the bus on my way to school and enjoyed the psalms as it was very encouraging, when I arrived went to do programming but today more on helping out people that doing my stuff.

When it was time for maths I just prayed to let the Lord's glory be shown, then finished the paper very smooth and fast, I think there was 1 mistake but I did my best, and handed it up, my friend who was also a christian said he did not attened church for 2 weeks to study for the test but still he could not do the questions so I told him to go church more hahaha cuz eventhough I go church (my uncle de) and I study and there was no hinderence that was too big or hard on he for
"Nothing is too hard for the Lord" Genesis when isaac was borned.

Then thought of buying NKJV bible cuz I gave one to my cousin so no more le and after a while one of the gym owners call me to work for few hours , I was shocked , I finally know what Jesus said in Matthew 5 , The Lord knows what you need even before you pray.

When I finally let myself out of the picture and focus on the glory of God , I was blessed in alot of ways :)

Then now at home thanking GOD :)

10/11

Today was another blessed day for me, last night I was frustrated as I focused too much in the theological expect that I forgot the main purpose is to love God. It was through so many songs that I finally see :)

Now today I was filled with joy in the Lord, went to school and everything was super successful, I completed my C++ programming way ahead of my class, so I spend my time helping others to do instead of doing everything and I thank God I learned patience..........

Then went to Electrical theory, it was kinda fun but boring haha....... I was looking forward to watching James Bond with uncle and bro ghee yean. Then the class ended so went to have lunch, and classmate ask me math but though I don't practice much I believe God have me wisdom cuz I could do it straight away without much hinderance. It was my prayer that I may help out others that God have blessed me with this wisdom.

Then chiong home brewed PEPPERMINT TEA....YEA PEOPLE I AM NOW DRINKING TEA!!!!!
I learned those high class stuff from hanging out with uncle francis,uncle roy they all......And it does not cost like super expensive...maybe 20-50 can get high quality tea le, but my sis got this marks and spencer peppermint so I tried and was hooked.

Reached bugis and went to NYDC with uncle francis, ate this dish call "3 amigo" which consisted of 3 types of meat and cheese bake rice, and this young couple came in and order super sized stuff that will prob cost 60-80 bucks bah lol. So we walked around, I ate AGAIN!!! Gelato ice cream.

Finally met bro ghee yean and we went to the James Bond movie which was kinda cool, and the popcorn was super super big......... and ended the day at some famous Nasi Bryani stall and buying some food for aunt janet's thai dish making tomorow haha.

I really want to thank God for blessing me, giving me this love and that He brought me to people who are godly doing testimony and glorifiying Him

Hallelujah Lord be with me :)

new church???

Recently after I visited my uncle's church, after the visit I felt a connection but I was not very sure so I prayed about it, and it seems I feel more and more growth in there.

But I still do attend 2 church at the same time, macedonia and my uncle's church, but I discussed with many elders and brother henry regarding if I should go or stay.

I analysed and think if I were to go to a church I would want.

1 I want To feel God's love
2 I want To grow
3 I want To serve Him
4 I want To lead and bring people to Him

Henry said my first 2 goals were self centered, well I agree but I know my ultimate purpose. To feel His love and to grow may seem self centered I agree but at the end of the day if it is to love Him more and to grow in Him more I don't think it will displease Him.

But I KNOW at the end of the day it is still God's decision, so I want to take myself out of the picture and let God take over me.

I will pray and may I be able to see clearer.

I will not hide anything or ashamed of anything cuz I now at the end of the day nothing is hidden to God. If I am going to other church is to satisfy my vanity or pride then I will be reprimanded if I go is to grow/serve and love Him more then I will be blessed.

But the focus MUST be on GOD, not on me lah....

Do pray for me to see His Will.

"Your will be done not mine"

How to fear the LORD and certain psalms/proverbs sharing

Many times I read proverbs or psalms or any books in the Bible it tells us to fear the LORD but HOW DO WE DO THAT??

Well my sisters and brothers fear has many meanings,
1 To be afraid
2 To be respectful
I BELIEVE IT TO BE BOTH......

anyways here is my sharing after reading Psalm 34

HOW TO FEAR THE LORD

1. Keep yourself from speaking evil
2. Don't Lie
3. Depart from evil
4. Do good
5. Seek peace
6. Pursue/maintain peace

From so many psalms and proverbs I have seen the Lord's deliverance and help for the Godly/Righteous/good. And the destruction and fall of the evil and wicked.May we bring God's grace to the evil ones/unbelievers that thay be be forgiven and made righteous through Lord Jesus Christ.

The Lord will not let the Godly go hungry, we may experiance poverty or go thorugh financial problems but let it be known that God will not let us go hungry, Many times God's powers are shown through our weaknesses. It is only in darkness that we can see light.

Dot rely on your own strenght for

1. You will get arrogant
2. You will not be successful

But depend on the LORD

godless destroy their friends with their words but Righteouss will be delievered through knowldege, with wisdom we can know how to get away from the godless.

The generous will prosper, I think that when we are generous people are BLESSED and see the light and grace of GOD, and when we bless others and let people see the glory of God we will be rewarded, but we should do good not for the pursue of reward but to show others the light of Jesus Christ amen.

Revelation

When I was meditating in the word of GOD, a revelation was given on to me....

I pondered on a question

Q] Why do GOD always want us to show His glory?

2 years back when I was trying to preach the gospel to my cousin, she said our God is selfish and arrogant, but the reason why God wants to show is His glory is to SAVE Lifes

Why do I say so, because when we do things through Him and show His glory to others, we let others get a glimpse of HOW POWERFUL AND GREAT this GOD is, and how much we people need Him, It is the SAME REASON WHY JESUS DID MIRACLES,

TO SHOW HOW GREAT GOD IS

When we show how great God is,
those unbelievers will then think "hey how come he/she is so peaceful and not afraid of the worldly stuffs and always so good to others is it the person's faith/religion ? and is it because of his/her God, hey I need this too!!!"

And also a reason why GOD always shows His glory or wants glory is because He Himself is a GOD of glory, His essence is sooo Naturally Holy and Glorious that He cannot help but show His glory, A good story will be the one of Moses, when Moses came down from mount Sinai after having a talk with GOD, Moses's face was so bring and filled with glory that the Israelite we TERRIFIED.

Exodus 39

29It came about when Moses was coming down from Mount Sinai (and the ^(AT)two tablets of the testimony were in Moses' hand as he was coming down from the mountain), that Moses did not know that ^(AU)the skin of his face shone because of his speaking with Him.

30So when Aaron and all the sons of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone, and ^(AV)they were afraid to come near him.

And inso I conclude in this short but blessed post that GOD shows His glory is to show how much unbelievers need this GOD and to save them :)

Psalms 37

There are times when we see evil or people indulging in sin/wrong doings/harming people, and we often feel discouraged as we wonder if they can do it, why can't we or why they do it. But david put it in a very good way in Psalms 37 I will highlight the points.

1 Don't worry about evildoers, why?

"They will wither away" an noun was used, "grass" "green herb", "spring flowers" I noticed from this that the characteristics of evildoers is that they may rise up or rule over people BUT only for a short while, spring flowers/grass/herbs are things we see around us in nature and these things always bloom for a while but after a season it is gone forever.

2 Trust in the LORD
"Then he will secure you safely and you will receive the desire of your heart"," Keep HIS word and His ways in so you will inherit the land"," Delight and enjoy the Lord", His love, His mercy,His wisdom....everything! When you trust Him, "He will do it"...Your prayers!!
Cultivate your faith in the Lord during these troubled times...you will become stronger in Him.

The Lord will bring our righteousness as Light to the people, judgement as noonday, brightening lifes warming people....But commit your way to the Lord.

Dont worry--Upgrade--Enjoy in the Lord--Trust in the Lord--Inheritance--Eternal reward

The rewards: Being used to bring light, warmth to the people, Deliverence, Exaltation, Inheritance.
