For All You Done...

There were some songs sung at the Praise And Prayer night last Friday that touched many hearts.... Our opening songs were Come On And Celebrate, it was awesome, the congregation was touched and were so happy worshipping, it started off very well, followed by For All You Done... another awesome song, esp the part ...

"Cause You came near, From the everlasting, To the world we live, our Father's only Son...And You lived, and You Died, and You rose again on high, And You showed us the way, For the world to live again, Halleluyah, For all You done..."

Yes, thank you Lord Jesus, for coming to the world to die for us so that we are forgiven through the cleansing of Your Blood... All praise goes to You....

Prayer Answered...

Brother In Law gave a testimony yesterday... he nearly lost his wallet... from old town he went to new town, he realised the wallet was not in his pocket...so he rewinded his journey, where he went, asked the shop owners whether they found any wallet, at the same time hoping some would be honest enough.... but still in vain. Feeling helpless and hopeless, he turned to God... while driving, he and my sis prayed together in the car.... Half way in Jalan Fair Park, he suddenly stopped the car, he told my sister he had to look again in the car...this time under the seat... True enough, his wallet was intact UNDER the car seat... then he told my sister, why he stopped... he said something prompted him to look under the seat.... and he was so awed when he saw it there.. Praise the Lord.. my sister told him, what prompted him is the Holy Spirit.... Holy Spirit is always with us all the time...He is the deposit given by God...He is our guide who 'knocks' on our head when we take the wrong ways in life at times... He is our Holy Spirit within us...
Thank You Lord Jesus, thank you Holy Spirit and all thanks given to our Almighty God...

God Our Father

This evening I went to Praise & Prayer..one lady gave a testimony of her nephew. Her nephew's mum died when he was 2 .. and when he was pursuing his degree, his father passed on too. He was very devastated, with himself and with God. He was so furious, he cried with anger and to God, asking why, why, it has to happen to him... why take away his father when he already doesnt have a mother.... it went on for days and days...crying out to God and feeling so helpless and angry...

Until one day, he came home, he told his auntie....to her amazement, he said, "God talked to me.. God really talked to me, I have heard Him.... He is there when I was so angry.. I heard His voice, gentle soft saying Am I Not Your Father?" He was shocked that he can really hear Him...and he finally realised that all is not lost....

God is our heavenly Father, when He can take care of the birds and trees, surely He will care for our every needs too... In our most depressing mood, if we could only spare some time to listen, He will talk to us, He will be with us, in us and for us....If only we LISTEN.....

How Fit Am I?

2 Corinthians 4:16...This verse is very comforting to those who fear getting old. It says "Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day."

No doubt we fear getting old and getting sick, but we must remember that each passing day, we are reaching a nearer goal in life, ie...going nearer to God...where there will be no more sorrows, no more sickness, no more death.... and only glorious moments with our God Almighty.

So its never too late to become spiritually stronger, its not too late to dig deep into God's words and invest more time with HIM.... When we choose this way, there will be no regrets....

I like this quote "To get better with age, get ourselves spiritually fit"

The Weapon In Us

In human beings culture, there are certain food that we abstain from eating....in the Bible old testament, it is written that blood from animals are not supposed to be drank ... and in the new testament, all food are considered clean and the most unclean are words from our mouth...

The most dangerous 'weapon' in us is the mouth and the tiny tongue to go with it. Words spoken are very important, though it is very small, it can set up a great war from there... So it is very important that we use our words with wisdom and care so as not to 'injure' or hurt anyone in our usage of our tongue.

Use our tongue to bless others
Little words can mean a lot
Unwisely words can hurt
Be careful with each word..

The Love Gift

I strongly believe that God gives each of us a hidden talent and many of us might not realise we have that talent till later years in life...some might find out in their younger years, some older and some might not know at all....

As in 1 Corinthians 12:4-11, it clearly stated that God uses us for what He has given us. It is also called spiritual gifts.. some have the gift of preaching, evangelising, music and many others that we might not know of. Its written here in Daily Bread...that if we dont know what our gifts are, volunteer to do something for the church that interests us...and ask our friends if they think we are gifted in that area or not...

Lets not waste our gifts that the Lord has given us...

Father, show us the way
Father, lead thy path
Let us know
Your gift of Love

My All In ALL

After reading the daily bread just now, it again triggers me on... Many times I have taken God for granted... no doubt He is always with me but most times, I make my own decisions instead of praying about it before I decide. Thank God for His Holy Spirit that prompts me at times to remind me..."hey, u are not alone"....

God is always with us, in us and for us.... so when He is for us, who can be against us? NO fear, no worries.. remember that, me....

When thou goest, take me with you

When thou come, I will be still

When thou see, I want to feel

When thou love, I come to You..

Godly Sacrifice..

In today's daily bread, it speaks about our sacrifices for God and it make me wonder again... did I do something for God? Did I sacrifice my time cheerfully and willingly for Him? Or is it done as a ritual or a routine? Prayers I make each day, are they a routinal kind of thing? I have to ask myself these questions before I can really understand what is really sacrifice...

I am now in a comfort zone, I have to confess I didnt make any big sacrifices for God, on the other hand, He makes much more countless sacrifices for me.... He has sacrifice His own son, Jesus to die for us so that we can come to know Him... His biggest sacrifice for us because He loves us as His own....

Here is my heart, Lord Jesus,
I have but one for Thee;
Oh, let my heart be Thine alone,
Thy will be done in me. —Mick

Help me to leave a big portion of my life to sacrifice for You, Lord...

What Seeds Are We Sowing?

LET US NOT GROW WEARY WHILE DOING GOOD FOR IN DUE SEASON WE SHALL REAP IF WE DO NOT LOSE HEART.... Galatians 6:9

Have I ever feel tired doing good? Did I do anything good to others? Nowadays I have a short memory, it is like just blanking out.... one day when I have to stand before God and if He were to ask me, I really would like Him to grant me a good memory first before I can recall back...

I guess as for now, it doesnt matter what I have done in the past, be it good or bad, what is important is that now as I live each day, I will do my best to do best for others, with God's guidance and the Holy Spirit to lead me, there will surely be something that I can sow....

I m no angel, not angelic even.. but tonight this question came to my mind... What seeds are we sowing now?

Marriage

Someone told me this before.. Marriage is not a marriage without a journey full of challenges .. marriage will only be called a marriage when both has succeeded in making it work, hard work, a commitment and responsibility towards one another, respect too...........

Marriage is just not a mere relationship between 2 persons, not a bed of roses either...

When I see a young loving couple together with eyes gazing for each other only, I can only smile silently... but when I see an elderly old couple, walking slowly... hand in hand... wow, I really must give them due respect and this is the couple I want to admire and feel happy for them.. it touches me in a way....

“For better or for worse,” we pledge,
“Through sickness and through strife”;
And by the help and grace of God
We’ll keep these vows for life. —D. De Haan

Love is more than a feeling, it’s a commitment.

Be Thankful

AFTER READING THIS, it reminded me that whatever riches or material things I have now with me are only from this world... that I cannot take them with me nor they matters for they are only temporary.

But what I have now, I am really thankful to God our Lord Father in heaven for His abundant blessings upon my life as well as my kids' lives... indeed, there is no way that we can be what we are today, without Him, we are nowhere... all glory and honour goes to Him who has and still is taking care of us daily...He fills our lives with unconditional love and his showers of blessings are unnumbered...

We thank Thee, Lord, for daily food,
For plenteous store of earthly good;
For life and health we still possess,
With house and home so richly blessed. —Mohler

With all my heart....

All of us are infected with the fatal disease of sin (Rom. 6:23). But the righteous wrath of God against transgression has been fully satisfied through Jesus’ death in our place. All we need do is repent, recognize Him as our Savior, and receive the spiritual cure for sin. Have you made that decision?

The above was extracted from the Daily Bread dated 30/6/2008... it read of deadly diseases in this world of ours...but in the ultimate ending, the most deadly disease is SIN... but who have never sin in this world? Who.... There is none other than our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God who brought him into this world to suffer for our sins and dying on the cross for us, taking all our sins upon Him... who would have done that for us...

Through Him, now we have the remedy for our deadly sins...through Him, we are redeemed.. through Him, we are made whole and now we have Him in our lives, He who has conquered the grave and death has lost its victory. Now through Him, we have eternity... what else can we ask for...and its all free... we just have to proclaim Him in our hearts....that is all it takes...

This song was sung during last Sunday's service...

With all my heart, I will follow after You
With all my soul, I will love You, O Lord
With all the strength that You have given me, I'll not be led astray
With all my heart, I will walk in Your ways....

This song takes on strong commitments from us.... do we dare to follow wholeheartedly?
