Book of Exodus

Hey people! I found very interesting! In the bible, book of Exodus, Moses are being called by God to bring the Israelites (slave of egypt) out of egypt because God has heard their cries. Moses did many miraculous sign in order to bring Israelites out of Egypt. There is a part where Moses successfully bring them out of Egypt, the King of Egypt Pharaoh's heart was hardened and want to capture them back because there is no one to do the slavery service if Israelites were to leave Egypt. Moses then did a miracle through God's strength and that is to divide the water of red sea and make themselves cross the ocean on dry land when walls of water were at the left and right. When the Israelites passes, God commanded Moses to close up the water and drown every single army with their men, chariots and horses. Guess what? Scientist found the Ancient Chariots and bones of animals and men underneath the Red Sea! Jesus is real! Amen!

Life in Jesus Christ

Hello! Today is the day for service!! Wow I love Jesus! But I am still learning how to put Jesus in every area of my life, and to have faith and trust in Him for every work I wanna accomplish. I also wanna know His heart and have spiritual sight too! Prays for it~ Well this week I have encounter an incident that both God and Satan came together one after another and I felt sad and angry about it. Well.. if you wanna hear about it, continue reading!

There is a colleague in office who have learned about Jesus and he said he believe Jesus is alive! Amen to that! So, the next step is just a step of faith! But he seems to have his unspeakable reason for not taking the step. Sergeant and me were trying to let him understand the importance of taking a step of faith towards Jesus so he may experience Jesus in his life! We were all ready for the sinner's prayer! Suddenly the holy moment came, where all office personnels were lost at the scene and only left three of us. As I pray, I felt the holiness, peace and joy like how I felt during worship in service! I knew God was there! This "Holy Moment" lasted for 10 minutes and soon after, satan came striking us every direction with distractions, one after another.

As I pray again, I learned that God will give every single soul on earth a chance to come to know him. He will plan the special moment which one would come and say "Jesus, I want you to be my Lord and Saviour!" for everyone. I was very sad because I know God is sad when he has planned this moment yet he is being rejected again. I was very angry because of satan!! I have witness God's works and satan's works! It's so scary!

Anyway, ending this, knowing God is not all about logics and reasons, you need to have Faith. Otherwise, why do you have a brain and a heart!? Jesus said to His disciple in the bible, "Now you have seen me and have believed. Blessed are those who have not see me and have believed." And God do not want to appear to our sight of eye because He wants us to have faith! If today, a man came to you and say He is Jesus. I bet you definitely will think he's crazy! Why? People say they want to see to believe, but yet when they see they still don't believe. When the power of healing is happening today, people still don't believe. But in Faith, we believed in God. If one day Jesus is back, for those who have faith will surely know Him. Let's pray~

Dear Jesus, thank you for your graceful blessings and love for the people! I pray to you Lord, you will make room in the heart of men so that they could consume your presence in their life. Everything seems much necessary but Jesus you are the one the people needs. In you, we are blessed. In you, we are saved. In you, we love. In you, we have life. In you, we have everything in life. Lord, may you speak to the people in this time of prayer and they will understand in their heart. Lord, we surrender ourselves to you and so that in you, we have the true life. Lord at this time, as I repeat the names of my beloved brothers in my heart, bless them with the Truth O Lord. In the authority and power of Jesus' name, we pray. Amen!

God's Presence!

Wow! Today I really want to thank Lord for lifting up my spirit! I felt energetic today! I'm ready to be social! Lolx~ Anyway, I am praying that God will transform me in a way that I can be more sociable and tactful with people. So it will be easier to share Christ with people! I shall do my best and if there is any flaws or wrong-doings, please come and tell me ok! Thanks brothers & sisters!!

Alright today I wanna blog about several things I have learned during my unit meeting, lesson conducted by Jeremiah and some stuffs during sermon too! Today is quite a fruitful day to me as I see God has lift me up a step higher! Meaning, He provides me with more knowledge and scope to accomplish as a Christian! Thank Lord! So, what is Truth? By right the Truth is in Jesus Christ and we can only realize the Truth by being Christ-like. But nowadays, people define Truth as what majority could accept and feeds their desires. People are denying the fact and withdrawn. The real Truth in Christ is hard to achieve, but once you have realize it, it gonna be a thousand and million times valuable and joyful than the fake truth. It's hard to achieve because we are sinful by nature! To be pure and Christ-like, we must fight against satan's temptation, which most of us would fall into his trap! Therefore, it's so hard to learn the Truth in Christ! Every sin comes from thoughts, and every thoughts come from sight. In bible, book of Luke 11:34 says "Your eyes are good, your whole body also is full of light. But when they are bad, your body also is full of darkness." Let's pray that our Holy Spirit will intercept all the sinful thoughts in our head and replace them with repentance and prayers to God. C'mon everyone, let us only see the real Truth and acknowledge only the real Truth. Stop satisfying ourselves and give excuses so as to stay in comfort zone. Be courageous! Get out there!

The second thing I learned is about Faith. There are two types of faith. The first type is when we say the sinner's prayer and receive Jesus as our Lord and Saviour. The second faith, which is evolved through the first, is the Faith of Salvation. It comes when we gain biblical knowledge, obedience to God and serve God using the authority given to us. The Faith of Salvation is what we need to be strengthened and stand firm in Christ! One day when someone point a gun at our throat, will u deny Christ? Imagine it realistically and answer yourself honestly. If you will deny Jesus, all your christian journey will be in vain. Therefore, I believe that whenever we wanna do something, we must commit and give in the best!

The most important learning for me today other than learning how to evangelize, is using the authority given by God. As a christian, we have the authority given by our Lord to pray for others, cast away demons, prophesies and ... but how strong are we in the authority? Pastor Jasmine gave a very straight and direct example. No matter in working life or army, we always need to be commanded before we can command others. In army, we must be tekan before we got the power to tekan others. As a christian, we need to live under the authority of Christ in order to receive authority from Him. And gaining authority means more responsibility in serving God and loving people, sacrifice the less Godly commitments to serve God too. For new believers or those who are going to convert, please do not worry of what I have said in the previous sentence. One day when you experience the Grace and Love from Jesus, you will willingly sacrifice your time to serve God. And you will understand your whole life you want to surrender them and only live for God.

Well, for non-believers again, I used to think that it's coward and weak to depends on God for everything and believed in my own strength. I used to think that submitting ourselves to God sounds very devilish. But I tell you this, you think this way because you have lack of understandings. For those who knew me well, I did not have any set backs in life to cause me to rely on Jesus. I go to Jesus by the means of seeking the real Truth and Wisdom. I am not emotionally weakened then I choose Christ. It's He convinced me with the content of Bible. No offense, but there is always a chance for everyone to know about Christ, it's up to us whether we wanna spend the time learning it or arguing it. =) If wanna argue, make sure we have the full understanding of the subject we going to argue too! So we could win ourselves knowledge and wisdom, not for pride.

Long long ago....

Today while waiting for bus to go home, suddenly I had a recollection in deep memories, it's about the very first time I saw the name "Jesus". When I was very young, Jesus already threw an attachment to me. I remembered I used to by looking at the name "Jesus", the first impression was that He is someone who can be fully trusted. I do not know this person, but I know He is someone very kind. Deep in me, I grew a strong yet unsurfaced affection to this name "Jesus". I used to be a good for nothing child, who are neither good in studies nor sports. God bless me in profession in Info-Communication during the course in ITE. Soon, I am good in programming during NYP. Those are the first time I see my worth.

Next, I joined martial art and God helped me excel. Even when managing with political people, He has blessed me with certain intelligence that would suddenly developed in me so that I could survive. Why do I say it's God who gave me? Because politics and strategic subjects were not my cup of tea. I am careless, blur, insensitive and unobservant by nature. But when necessarily, I could react strategically. That was very unlike myself to begin with.

I am sure that God has been planning my conversion long long ago, beginning at the moment I felt the affection in His name. I'm thankful He has planned my journey so well that I do not lost myself and has come to know very sincere and powerful leaders in Hope Church. God has trained me well in becoming who I am today. =)

Lord Jesus, thank you in sacrificing yourself to cleanse our sin with your blood! Yet it's so heart wrenching that these days we still sin due to our sinful nature, and yet you are still loving to forgive the repentance souls. I pray your blessings for your children so that we will be strong to overcome the devil! The strong desire in bringing glory to your name often stomped and demoralized by the devil. Lord, let the Holy Spirit intercept our thoughts for thoughts become words, for words become actions, for actions become habits, for habits become character, for character become destiny. I pray that we will all have a destiny in your glory and kingdom. Lord blesses us and help us in earning the true spiritual value and not the earthly value so we may enter your kingdom! In Jesus' name we pray, Amen!

In Christ

People! We are born with characteristics and shall we not restrict ourselves. You are blessed with wisdom and intelligence to comprehend, to understand, so there may be knowledge. You are planted of emotions to feel, so there may be the Law of Morality. You are created with the full potential to understand and comprehend the Word of God but you mis-use it by the barrier of pride and self. Never will one listen without setting himself humble and in peace and balanced mentally, emotionally and spiritually blessed to receive what is given. The simplicity, but you do not believe, and you believed the complexity. Does complexity appears profound, are proud to acknowledge? Does the presence of logic quarantine Faith? Isn't Faith strengthened in True knowledge? Isn't success of men made by Faith and Knowledge? Does working in both Faith and Wisdom not leads to Truth? Well.. the Truth is simple but the blinds will not see. The ones blinded by Self and earthly matters. Since you choose to shut yourself, no man can access you but your Heavenly Father. Shall you open yourself to Him or otherwise. Shall you make a step for the Saviour will make ten. True joy and happiness are in Christ. Open the eyes in your heart heart, see for yourself!

John 20:29
Then Jesus told him, "Because you have seen me , you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."

Lord! In the Glory of your name, bless your people in Christ! So when others seeus, they know they don't hear/see the Holy that we hear/see. Nothing can hide from your light shone from the above by you our Heavenly Father. May your people, in Christ, live in your righteousness to bring glory to your Holy Name, Jesus Christ! Be reminded brothers and sisters, repent every sins immediately and seek the righteous way our Lord will teach us, so you will not fall away. Be honest and do not hide or excuse sins in your thoughts! O'Lord, come help us in not hardening ourselves and be separate with You by sin! So we may at all times live in Your love, teachings and blessings! In Jesus' name, Amen!

The Way, The Truth, The Life.

Praise to our Lord! For the great things He has done for the people! The world must rely on Father to live the way to Truth! Recently there is new inspiration in me. For those who had accessed in my innate self, you see that I am a philosophical person. Brothers and sisters, as much as my wisdom brings me, I would like to share a simple Truth. Jesus says the Father is in Him and He is in Father. Jesus also says that He is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Let me share what have I learned from this.

In the bible, we learned how Jesus live his life and his Love for the people. We see how Jesus guide His sheeps. We see how Jesus live up to His Father's standard and carry out His will. I believe that Jesus lived his life in perfect righteousness. As a christian, we seek to be more than just a follower of Christ, we want to be his disciple and His children and His light to act in the role of Christ. We learned how to love one another. We learn to give and share. We learn to be selfless. We learn to be in the likeness of Christ. In this manner, we are learning the Way. The Way is of much free and joy! When we live the Way of Christ, we will see the Truth in our life. When we live in the Truth, we do not waste every breath and we do not live our life in vain. Instead, it is of much glory and joy! You will not be the one who say "I am sick of living" because your life will never be plain anymore! It is ever-exciting and much rejoice serving God and glorify His name, Jesus Christ! The Life given through Christ, is the ever-lasting life without being perished! The destination of Salvation Christ!

Dear Jesus! Thank you for praying with authority in your name, Jesus Christ. Lord I pray for the people who seek you be blessed by the Father, and walk with you in their lives. Lord please open the eye of the blinds and Lord you teach them how to see in the Truth, only through the eyes opened by Lord Jesus Christ. Never will they cry, never will they soar, living in the Truth made known by you our Lord, because it is of so much joy! Never will the people walk alone in the darkest part of life for they have you, the almighty God to be with them. Teach us to be your light for the lost soul in darkness. Fear has no business with us upon in darkness as your light of that much bright. In the salvation of Christ, we are freed and saved by Lord's sacrifice. Shall we not hold on much to our life but surrender our life to Him, for the loving God who never forsake us. Praise to God, the Heavenly Father of our Lord Jesus Christ who blessed us as we unite in Christ! Amen!
