Get it not by your own works... Simply ask!

2009-09-05T23:52:00.003+08:00

haha, I read a verse in Acts and found it to be really interesting...

Acts 7:41 (NKJV)
And they made a calf in those days, offered sacrifices to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.

I think it's really interesting that the phrase saying they "rejoiced in the works of their own hands" were mentioned in line with the calf they made. The idol here = the works of their own hands.

How often do we rejoice/ glory in the purity of our hands or actions? How often do we glory in our own commitments or even our attendance in church? ;)

I totally agree that grace enables and empowers us to labor more abundantly but may we never forget the first Love - the Grace who first enabled and empowered.... :)

Rejoicing in the works of their (our) own hands in comparison to the one work of Jesus...

1 Corinthians 1:30-31
30 But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God—and righteousness and sanctification and redemption- 31 that, as it is written, "He who glories, let him glory in the LORD."

=================

Was really blessed by the session with Pastor Keith on Thursday! I love the part being shared - with the little we have, God can use. Just show up and Jesus would be there. The best place to sharpen and hone our gift is in the house of God - as we start using what we have, the gifting and calling in our lives would become evident.

Don't wait till the day YOU THINK the gift or basically a simple skill you have to be perfect then start using it in the house of God; just start using and it would be sharpen... :)

Anyway, on Friday I was listening to the sermon titled - What do you have in the house? by Pastor Prince on 28 Nov 04. And the one thing that caught me then was the part that Pastor said he is going to share the cycle of grace - where many of us come to church and keep receiving but we need an outlet!! haha.

Do you know what is the difference between the sea of Galilee and the dead sea?

The sea of Galilee has inlet and outlet but the dead sea only has inlet and no outlet. If you are being filled constantly but no place to output the grace that has been bestowed upon you, you would be frustrated on the inside! haha.

Pastor mentioned that in the relation with Daddy God, it is more blessed to receive than to give... Come to Him and TAKE! Whereas in relation to men, it is more blessed to give than to receive. Therefore, come to God to take and give to men - that's the equation I got. Then a question popped up - WHAT ABOUT MEEEE???!!

haha. And the immediate response was the reminder of the feeding of the five thousand men not counting women and children - there would be 12 baskets full leftover... :) Many times we feel that if I were to serve or give, I would be depleted - I would have no more! But it's really not true because when you show up, Jesus is there to multiply.

The people had as much as THEY wanted but still, there were 12 baskets leftover!

John 6:11-13 (NKJV)
11 And Jesus took the loaves, and when He had given thanks He distributed them to the disciples, and the disciples to those sitting down; and likewise of the fish, as much as they wanted. 12 So when they were filled, He said to His disciples, "Gather up the fragments that remain, so that nothing is lost." 13 Therefore they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves which were left over by those who had eaten.

Oh yah! I also like the part about not being satisfied with just enough for yourself! Ask Daddy God for more! More than enough so that you can be a blessing to others too! May the day come for us all that we need not "worry" about the little we have but about the abundance we have and where to give!? haha...

We are blessed to be a blessing - it is always in relations to someone else. In order for you to be a blessing, someone has to be blessed... Even the gifting we have, it is for the glory of Jesus and for the good of HIS Church - made up of people. Be daring to ask for more! :)

MORE LORD! All that You wanna give Your children but they don't want - too busy earning it by their own works, give me! heh heh.

Trusting the Father's heart...

2009-09-01T21:16:00.014+08:00

Had a good dinner with my Braveheart... Love the evening! All the stoning and slow walking from office to interchange. haha!

Tonight is one of the nights where I have nothing on and I'm really glad because I get to come home early - though I knocked off much later than usual. :( - and just spend time at home, with mum, practise piano (if I have time) before lesson tomorrow.... :)

Anyway, I was eating with my Braveheart at interchange then I saw this uncle on a really cool... I don't know what is that man! It's like a mini scooter that you can use on pavement? hahaha. Anyway, I saw him struggling to read what's written on the different sign boards. I observed him for quite some time and looking at the wonders of the world before I decided to walk up to him. But as I move forward, he moved forward too >.< that to say, he went out of sight as well...

So I doubled my steps to see where he was, and *tah tah!* he's now at the hawker center! Looking at all the different sign boards again....

I went up to him and asked, "Uncle, you want to eat?" and he said, "No." and my immediate respond was, "Ok" and I walked off without even looking back.

This is the second time I got rejected when I offered to help - at the same vicinity as well! And for both times my response were exactly the same! And I was just talking to Braveheart and wondering how come I have such response? The distaste of rejection? haha.

Then the below came to mind...

Last Friday as I was at the dental...

Dentist: You are quite a giggly girl. You must be popular...
Me: *with mouth wide open* -= no comments =- like as if I had the chance to say anything... haha!

And I talked to my Braveheart about this popularity thingy and I said, "I don't think I'll bother to be popular." "I think I would only want to be loved."... And the following unfold (not in sequence though. Many things seemed to be touched on in the short walk with Him)....

Many times we mistake popularity as the measure of being loved. We mistake given attention to as being loved. We equate being given time to as being loved. Yes, these are by-products of love but it is not the core of love...

In all our hearts, we want love, we want to be loved - just as we are.

I really love when Pastor Prince shared Matthew 15:21-28, about why Jesus initially did not respond when the Syro-Phoenician woman pretended to be a Jew - because if He were to do so, she would not have experienced Grace; she would not have known that she is loved as she is...

Case in point - if I were to pretend to be someone else and I am loved, I would never know/ feel that I am truly loved and I would always be afraid to reveal my true self. But when I am loved despite and inspite of myself, I AM LOVED!

Yah, and as I was still talking to Braveheart, I was reminded again that God is Love.

And as I was waiting for bus, I thought, "Hmm... I would rather be truly loved by a few than just being popular." And I realised that sometimes for the sake of popularity or basically being liked by many, we compromise.

And I was reminded how Jesus was being rejected again and again. So, how did He bear all these?? Is there something that we are missing out in the midst of all these popularity contest in our own hearts?

I believe that the Father's love must have been really real in His heart. The first words that were spoken to Him when He came out of River Jordan - ...“This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” (Matthew 3:17)

I believe that because He knew really well that He is so accepted by Daddy God, it didn't really matter that He was rejected. Not that He was not hurt - He wept when Israel rejected Him. He knew mankind would reject Him, still He took the cross - yes, for a purpose greater than Himself, He went ahead but what propelled it all? Could it be that Love personified is telling us that, "rejection can't pin Me down because I feed upon the unending and everlasting LOVE of the Father?"

And you know what? In line with how we compromise at times to be liked by many, I was reminded of the all popular verse (at least popular to me. haha!)...

Proverbs 29:25 (NKJV)
The fear of man brings a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD shall be safe.

Opposite of verse 25a, the love of man sets one free... And we have the love of the one MAN, the true Man!

1 John 4:9-10
9 In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. 10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

Whoever trusts in the LORD shall be safe.... And I was reminded again of the chinese word of trust/ believe - 信, which is made up of 2 words - 人 (man) and 言 (word)...

Which reminded me of Romans 10:14 - How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?

We believe because of the man who preach the Word of God...

Pastor Prince, thanks for showing us always, the heart of Daddy God! :)

Keep sharing the love of Jesus.... Unconditional and unearned... :)

Sorry, just have to slot the below verse in... Saw it as I was searching for Matthew 3:17 on biblegateway. heh... Another verse that mentioned both Jesus being beloved and us not being afraid...

Matthew 17:5-7 (NKJV)
5 ... and suddenly a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him!” 6 And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces and were greatly afraid. 7 But Jesus came and touched them and said, “Arise, and do not be afraid.”

Truly, YOUR Love has set me on higher grounds.... :)

Having loads of fun! ;)

Daddy showing His heart to me....

2009-09-01T12:28:00.003+08:00

Friday afternoon and evening fellowship...

Time spent with princess and something that caught me... "Jesus is our first Love.... the past doesn't matter because Jesus dictates our love life..." Truly it is Grace who came down... :)

In the midst of discussion.... "DadGod is really funny, many times I wonder if He asked the right person to do the things I'm given the chance to. But I've learnt, it's not me and I just gotta lean... Life is very simple actually...."

Walk away thought from Friday discussion & fellowship... "Do you see God as a strict trainer or do you see Him as a loving Father?"

My after thought... "Daddy, I think I often see you as a strict trainer... reveal Your heart to me, help me to see You as a loving Daddy."

Saturday outing....

Question posted by lao da... "Why do you think people burn out from serving?"

Answers that caught me.... "They have forgotten their first Love... spend time with you first Love... :)" "They have forgotten their identity as sons & daughters of God and have gotten into the slave mentality, thinking that they are servants. We are in the Father's house and the house belongs to us too! If people come to your house and use crayon to draw on your walls, wouldn't you scold/stop the person? ;)"

I especially love the second answer, reminding me again that this is truly my Father's house and my Father's house is mine too! :)

Saturday after thought... "Wow, Daddy, it's so cool! I hope that Pastor would preach about the Father's love on Sunday. Hmm, but what verses would it be? Luke 15 again?! That's the only one I know that talks about the Father's love man!"

Sunday morning in church....

Pastor shared the testimony of the guy who was reconciled to his dad after reading the D2R daily devo and I was really touched. The gospel - Grace - really saves, in every aspect.

Then Pastor Prince went on to share about the ways of Grace and my heart was just melted by the love of Daddy God. How it is not dependent on what I do. Where sins abound, Grace truly super abound. I don't have to try, no, not at all... For every area of lack, Daddy's super abounding supply is there. Come boldly to Daddy, it doesn't matter how I am, how I look, what I did/do....

And as I was sitting there in service, I was so awed by Daddy, how He truly answers with style and showed me His heart once again...

Lover of my soul, romance me again.......... :)

170808 - Pastor's Sharing on Sin Offering

2008-08-17T23:59:00.002+08:00

hehe. Here to share what Pastor Prince shared on Sin Offering today~ :)

Today felt more like a teaching mood and having slept later than I should last night, I was kinda sleepy during service but thank God for keeping me awake lah~ hehe.

Anyway, LORD, I am so excited for camp. I pray for AWESOME worship and ministering time~ hehe. I wanna jump jump jump! haha. Show me my portion. :D

Anyway, back to what Pastor preached today...

He started with Numbers 18:8-11 and he focused more on verse 9 which says:
This shall be yours of the most holy things reserved from the fire: every offering of theirs, every grain offering and every sin offering and every trespass offering which they render to Me, shall be most holy for you and your sons.

If you have gotten Pastor's previous weeks sermon, he mentioned that in the old testament it is a type for us to study... so by mentioning sons here, it doesn't mean that you gotta be male by gender but male in the bible represents active. So you might be a lady but you might be male spiritually - strong to eat the spiritual food. So yeap. :)

There's a reason why the above has been bold and underlined. Will go back to this later. :)

Then Pastor went on to show us on Sin Offering in Leviticus 4, making parallel comparison of what are the differences when the 4 different groups of people sin - An anointed priest, the whole congregation of Israel, a ruler and a commoner (meaning a non-leader). Go read yourself k. haha. Because I didn't copy it down. heh.

But just to touch on a parallel that Pastor mentioned about the Sin Offering and Jesus' work on the cross...

Hebrews 13:11-12
11 For the bodies of those animals, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned outside the camp. 12 Therefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people with His own blood, suffered outside the gate.

Referencing Leviticus 4:11-12
11 But the bull’s hide and all its flesh, with its head and legs, its entrails and offal- 12 the whole bull he shall carry outside the camp to a clean place, where the ashes are poured out, and burn it on wood with fire; where the ashes are poured out it shall be burned.

Hurhur. And I love it when Pastor shared about offal! In the KJV it reads "And the skin of the bullock, and all his flesh, with his head, and with his legs, and his inwards, and his dung," in verse 11. So offal = dung! hehe. You know whose dung was it? Yours and mine! And you know what is dung? This is so exciting! haha.

Dung is whatever we glory in. hurhur~ Read Philippians 3:8-9
8 Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ 9 and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith;

In KJV it reads as below:-
8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, 9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:

If you read the whole context here, it actually talks about having no boast/confidence in the flesh but should we, Paul said that he had much more to boast about (verses 4-6) but what things were gain to Paul, these he counted loss for Christ (verse 7). And he went on to talk about verses 8 onwards! hehe. So in case you thought that Paul were talking about some misconduct or sinful habits as dung, he wasn't. He was talking about him counting all those natural glories that one might glory in as dung! Woohoo~ For the EXCELLENCY of the knowledge of Christ Jesus! :D

So cool can! I love it. hehe.

Anyway, after the dung business, lets go back to the Sin Offering.... hehe.

Pastor went on to share Hebrews 10:1-4 that talks about how it is not possible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins nor make those who approach perfect. As such, God has no delight in these sacrifices. Because He loves us so much and wants a close and intimate relationship with us. God is really so passionate about loving you. He was so passionate to bring you into unbroken fellowship that He sent His only Son to die for you... So amazing how it all ties together.

Before I continue, lets read Hebrews 10:1-4
1 For the law, having a shadow of the good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with these same sacrifices, which they offer continually year by year, make those who approach perfect. 2 For then would they not have ceased to be offered? For the worshipers, once purified, would have had no more consciousness of sins. 3 But in those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year. 4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats could take away sins.

That's why God went on to say in verse 5-7 that He did no desire in sacrifice and offering. In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin He has no pleasure. He is a real God leh. He is not interested in just providing you a shadow of the good things to come. He gave His Son, the substance, just for you. Awesomeness! :D

And in contrast, lets now take a look at the REAL thing. C'mon guys (& ladies. haha!) don't just settle k. Who wants a shadow when we have the REAL thing. You just want a picture of your dream house or you want the real house?? haha.

So in Hebrews 10:11-14
11 And every priest stands ministering daily and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. 12 But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God...14 For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.

You can rest fully because Christ's work at the cross is completely complete. I love it when Pastor said that we are forgiven not according to our knowledge but according to HIS knowledge. Do you know that the Father has put this down in the bible as well? hehe.

Lets read... Isaiah 53:11
11 He shall see the labor of His soul, and be satisfied. By His knowledge My righteous Servant shall justify many, for He shall bear their iniquities.

It is by Jesus' knowledge of our sin that He justified us. God doesn't have a moment by moment view of our lives. He has the bird's eye view. He sees the beginning from the end. (is my phrasing right? haha.) So yah loh. It is according to HIS knowledge that we are forgiven by His work at the cross. So today we can rest fully and surely because by HIS knowledge we (YOU) are justified. Coolest right. haha.

Daddy told Pastor the following... Our sins brought Christ down to the cross. His Righteousness brought us up into the presence of Abba~ hehe. So sweet!

Next is Hebrews 9:25-28
25 not that He should offer Himself often, as the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood of another- 26 He then would have had to suffer often since the foundation of the world; but now, once at the end of the ages, He has appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself. 27 And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment, 28 so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation.

Pastor shared, notice in verse 28 it says apart from sin? It means that in the second coming, He is coming for the salvation of our bodies, apart from sin where sin is no more an issue. The subject of sin would never be brought up in the presence of God again (even now) because Jesus' work has completely removed it from Abba's eyes. To God who is righteous, it is a closed case because it has all been judged at the cross of Jesus. Yippiiiie!

So we can happily embrace Zephaniah 3:17 (AMP)
17 The Lord your God is in the midst of you, a Mighty One, a Savior [Who saves]! He will rejoice over you with joy; He will rest [in silent satisfaction] and in His love He will be silent and make no mention [of past sins, or even recall them]; He will exult over you with singing.

Romans 6:10-11 (AMP)
10 For by the death He died, He died to sin [ending His relation to it] once for all; and the life that He lives, He is living to God [in unbroken fellowship with Him].
11 Even so consider yourselves also dead to sin and your relation to it broken, but alive to God [living in unbroken fellowship with Him] in Christ Jesus.

Have fun yoh people. :D So exciting to share all these. Been long since I shared man. Don't really know how to come out with a whole sermon on my own but pleasure to be able to share what my spiritual father - Pastor Prince share with us. :D

Anyway, just a note... In this sharing I have added some of my own points, etc and it doesn't really cover everything that Pastor shared with us. So if you wanna find out more or get more to chew on, get his CD when it's out next week man! haha.

Anyway, added thought that Pastor shared... Jesus was still holy on the cross when He carried all our sins. Check out Numbers 18:9. :)

His Love....

170608 - His left-handed Benjamite

2008-06-17T16:08:00.003+08:00

hehe. Here to blog again! :) Heard sharing from people who went for the Student Arrow Camp and it makes me so excited for my upcoming camp as well. Abba, fill my life with surprises of rest and getaways with You... So looking forward... haha.

Anyway, love whatever I heard from the people who shared about the camp. How they were so convicted of their identity as the ben gen. Thank You Abba, I am of this generation as well.

Love it when I was told that Benjamin's life is one where you will always see Joseph in action. Even when coming into Joseph's presence, it was Joseph who sent for Benjamin.

Psalm 27:8 (NLT)

My heart has heard you say, "Come and talk with me."

And my heart responds, "Lord, I am coming."

I love it when han pa shared that whatever that he or pastor has been sharing, is to entice us to go experience this Jesus for ourselves. I love it when I see Abba calling me away to Himself, setting the Love in me for His Word and His Presence.

Love the illustration sam gave about Benjamin (son of My right-hand) who leaves up his (her) weaknesses to God and God with His right hand holds my left hand (weaknesses). I lift my left-hand to You Abba.

Okay, gonna share something that amused me. :D When I was in the shower and talking to Abba about the Benjamin Gen, He showed me Smurf! haha. Those blue little people who are only 3 apple tall and wear white! hehe.

Blue reminds me of Grace and white is righteousness :) My whole being is of Grace and my only clothing is Righteousness.

050608 - Eternity in the heart

2008-06-05T12:19:00.006+08:00

:) I love it that Abba showed Himself cool and faithful...

Last Sunday before service, we talked about dreams & purpose and having talked about that, I realised that it has been long since I thought or talked about it and had been quite caught up in my own world. So I asked Abba to put eternity in my heart. And after service, I got to talk to mama and I thought it through on Monday, realising that what she said to me showed me a glimpse of what I prayed for on Sunday. And having said that, I know I'm not ready yet... Daddy, woo me back yet again... :)

And on Tuesday when I was reading the bible, I saw that it's something in the bible!

Ecclesiastes 3:11 (NKJV)
He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.

:D Happy. hehe. And really thank God for Godly counsels. Because I haven't been my best since Monday... Having been quite emo yet unsure how to overcome. And yesterday I decided to talk about it with s.ong and queen. And having talked about it, I've been put in place yet again. haha. Exactly the same thing that mama told me some time back that made me wanna be excellent and just excel in the gifts that Abba placed in me. That which queen told me and stuck with me was, "I know you can handle more than this and you have not given your best." I was yet again spurred to give my best. hehe. Thanks Daddy. :)

Then today was really sweet! Because I saw my fruits. hehe. And just yesterday I was meditating on Psalm 1:3, He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper.

Fruits because someone's life that I have played a part in, is now sharing the Word with people! And not ashamed at all. It has been such a privilege to see this person grow and having that Christ confidence. :D And another was s.ong who shared with me from the sermons I passed her - "we do not live by feelings but by faith. and feelings nullify faith; hence we should speak and feel out of faith..."

So cool to eat of these fruits... It brings joy to my heart. hehe.

hehe. I asked and He answered - movie tix and someone pressed bell for me! hehe.

Was contemplating whether to watch movie tomorrow and was telling Abba to ask someone help me pay for my tix. haha. Then I was telling 3d panda I would decide the next day whether to go. So next day, princess was asking me, if I wanna go and before I can answer with my contemplation, she said she has free movie tix for me! heh heh. Coolios~

This morning I was on the crowded bus and when it was approaching my stop, I told Abba, "help me press bell! :D" I was actually holding on to the bar that has the bell but I just didn't want to press it, wanting Abba to make someone or even an angel help me press. Then as the bus was turning to my bus stop, I started to wonder, "should I press? what if no one press sia?". To be frank not much of a deal because I can drop at the next stop but of course I want to drop at my designated stop lah. haha. Then Abba asked me, "when you asked me previously, did I fail you?" Then I said, "nope." And almost as soon as I answered Him, the bell rang! hehe. Coolios~

Let the walk be even sweeter LORD because I wanna know You and not just about You. :)

- Eternity...

300508 - His

2008-05-30T13:43:00.002+08:00

haha. Feels like so long since I last talked. Not that I have been keeping quiet all these while at work or even when I am out with friends but I think just in the midst of my sleepy week, I haven't really talk to Abba.

Last Friday was so sweet for me. :) I went to walk by the river at Esplanade there. It's so beautiful! haha. I was walking at the bridge there - the one that connects the Esplanade to the Merlion. haha. So sweet... But it didn't start out that way... I just knew that I needed that getaway with Abba when I hit a bump on Thursday. And that getaway just seem to be my time of restoration with Him! :D

I was having a drink with my colleague at Suntec Starbucks before that and I got away by saying I have some errands to run. hehe.

So there I was, walking from Suntec to Esplanade. haha. My steps were so fast when I walked, so excited to get onto the bridge to just spend some time with Him. hehe. And when I was there, it felt a bit weird at first to be frank because most people were with friends or their partner then there I was, alone in the natural. hehe. But I did it anyway lah. It's more needed for my soul than for other's opinions. haha.

And there I was, sitting, walking, standing, standing, walking, sitting. haha. Then at last He brought me to walk towards the Merlion. haha. Then I found one hide-away place! hehe. I was SO excited when I saw that place can! hehe. Only He knows lah. hehe. I just excitedly sat down and watch the Singapore Flyer lighting change color from there. haha.

The thought of it just makes me so excited again! hehe. Maybe soon... I'll go there again, alone with Him yet again... But I know this time round it would be for joy and rejoicing that I go away with Abba. :D

Did I tell you I saw fireworks as well? haha. Brought away by Abba and saw fireworks for no particular reason... Love doesn't need a special reason to give... because it is HIS nature. :)

170508 - BEING a child of God

2008-05-17T22:08:00.004+08:00

Last weekend Papa gave me the verse 3 John 1:2 (KJV) - Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

haha. I asked Daddy about my life last Saturday and I accidentally restart the sermon I was listening to and the opening verse that pastor mentioned was 3 John 2. Knowing it was not coincidence yet unsure of what Daddy wanna say, I went to sleep. haha.

Then came Sunday. Think it was pre-service and pastor was praying for the sick then he said 3 John 2 again! haha. Then there I was, laughing to myself. Knowing it was Papa in action. haha. Even then, I was not sure what yet; as of the last time, I only know Papa is interested in my well-being but it seemed that this time round He wanna tell me something else. So that day came back early because I was sleepy! haha. So in the evening, as I was listening to other sermons, I got it! haha.

When Papa told me 3 John 2 this time, the part of the verse that caught me was - ... even as thy soul prospereth.

To me soul is feelings, emotions, mind. And I just know it's JOY Papa is talking about. Everything I read was about Joy can. haha. In almost all the chaps in Isaiah I read that day has JOY in it. haha. So cool. hehe. So yeap. Anointed with Joy. Be JOYFUL! hehe.

Let me share a funny part of Isaiah with you. To me it's funny. haha.

Isaiah 51:12-13
12 " I, even I, am He who comforts you.
Who are you that you should be afraid
Of a man who will die,
And of the son of a man who will be made like grass?
13 And you forget the LORD your Maker,
Who stretched out the heavens
And laid the foundations of the earth;
You have feared continually every day
Because of the fury of the oppressor,
When he has prepared to destroy.
And where is the fury of the oppressor?

When I read the above, I just thought that it's so funny. haha. Daddy asking, WHO ARE YOU that you should be afraid? You have feared continually... and where is the fury of the oppressor? haha. Often we worry for nothing, forgetting that the One who stretched out the heavens and laid the foundations of the earth is our DaddyGod. :)

We ARE the children of God. You, just BEING the child of God is all that you need. Because only a child has access to all of the Father's resources. :)

He who placed the diamonds and sapphires on the earth is able to give you and me a chanel or coach bag any time. Can you believe it? :D

hehe. There are several stuff that I caught this week and one of which is about being a child of God. haha. Many times we would think that we need to serve God. But in actual fact, it's not a need, it's a privilege. :)

When I was asked to lead holy comm this week, I felt very privileged because I just know it's undeserved. I, who is nothing without God was asked to do something; to me it's a privilege.

1 Chronicles 29:13-14
13 "Now therefore, our God,
We thank You
And praise Your glorious name.
14 But who am I, and who are my people,
That we should be able to offer so willingly as this?
For all things come from You,
And of Your own we have given You.

1 John 3:1
Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God!

haha. It's cool! I'm starting to see and learn more about righteousness and undeserved favor. I love how han put it, that the message we've been hearing week in week out about undeserved favor, it's not just a doctrine. It is preached so often because I (we) NEED it DAILY. I need the undeserved favor of God daily. Because if you want to talk about what you have in the natural, in the first place you can't even come to God.

It's because of the Love of the Father that I am brought near, you are brought near.

In the midst of trying to control my life and get all the answers to my many questions, I realised that life without God in the midst is a gamble, it's too tiring. In the midst of trying to juggle everything, you find your within breaking down slowly, losing yourself to the pace, you are unsure of your state.

haha. Not sure why I'm talking about this but yeap. There's so much joy in being a child of God. Able to live a day at a time is such a blessing. To know that when a need arises, my Papa would provide is such a blessing. With just a lil insight into the blessings and protection that my Daddy God has been providing me I know I am blessed.

As the world cries out for bigger things to fill a void which only GOD can fill, I pray that my dependency on God would never stop. Because this life is not a life of comparison with others. The favor that we are encompass with is not so that we can prove to others or ourselves that we are living better than the rest but to live the GOD life - the life Jesus came to die and give. Yearn for the God life, the life that only God can give you.

And just by coming to Daddy as you are, dirty and down, you are bringing great joy to the God of all the earth. You are loved by your Daddy in heaven. :)

haha. This post has a totally different drift from what I thought but it's alright. haha. Have to post it anyway because it's a privilege to share. hehe.

Anyway, another thing I caught this week was that one of the ways to honor my leader is to be like-minded. :D

Anointed w Joy,
Precious...

Reflectors of God

2008-05-10T01:16:00.003+08:00

It's weekend again - my rest time and my blogging time! haha.

This week has been quite a week for me. Felt like tough? Yes it did. But still alive? Yes of course because God is still in the house. haha.

Psalm 57:2-3
2 I will cry out to God Most High, to God who performs all things for me.
3 He shall send from heaven and save me; He reproaches the one who would swallow me up. Selah God shall send forth His mercy and His truth.

Lessons learnt this week...
1. It would come a point in time where the word of men doesn't matter any more.

No, not because I'm there already but because my soul needs comfort deeper than just words from man. LORD, You are my comfort and my hope. There are much in my heart that my words can't express but LORD, You know it well and let the Spirit pray for me, through me. Holy Spirit, take over. The times of refreshment is here... :)

2. Oh yah. Another lesson learnt is that there's much power in what I (you) share.

That which you believe, or you caught in service, share it and it would drop even deeper into your heart! There's so much power. And this is what I have experienced personally. Things that I caught during service and shared with others, those are the parts of the Word preached that are often very fresh in my memory.

Even the little you know, don't be afraid to share because when your heart is to let Jesus be magnified (and that you do when you share the Word - who is Jesus Himself (John 1:14, Revelation 19:13)), more would be given. Be of good cheer because one word from God is enough to change a man's life. Don't despise it. :D We all start somewhere don't we. :)

Anyway I'm here to share something what Papa showed me after I came back from Lanta and some parts when I was in Lanta. :)

When we were at Lanta, I was just thinking about how different each of us are. And I was just talking to Abba about how I am so different from one of them and I know I can't be her because I'm made the way I am. Then Daddy God challenged me and said, "Babe, if you think that she's extravagant, do you believe that I can be more extravagant than that?" haha. I like it when He challenges me and my finite mind to see Him as He is - much bigger than what I think He is. haha.

haha. And there I was, smiling to myself. Almost wanting to laugh out at how drama and lame my Abba can be. I never thought that Daddy could be lame till sam introduced that to me. haha. So yeap. It's so cool to me. And that sparked off a sharing I had with a sister 2 weeks after we returned. :D

During that week I was thinking about being myself and I came across esther's blog that was introducing this link... Just Wanting to Be Known.

One part that caught me was:-

It is when I turn to Christ, when I give up myself to His personality, that I first begin to have a real personality of my own.

... Said by CS Lewis

It's cool right?! But in my mind I always had a question, before God gave me the revelation of His bigness (Is there such a word? haha. anyway....). And my question was (please pardon my finite mind k) "If you spend time w God, I spend time w God, wouldn't we all be like God? In other words, wouldn't we all be the same? Where is the uniqueness then?".

And as I was sharing with the sister, I saw it! We are all reflectors of Christ. What does it mean to be reflectors of Christ? We reflect Christ! haha. And Christ is SOOOOO BIG! And each of us reflect a part of God. It's the same God but He's altogether lovely. He's both strong yet meek. He's majestic yet detailed. He flung the stars into the sky yet He's also the one who binds up the wounds. He's big yet He's small. Therefore when we see that very personality that we love about someone else - humorous, courageous, etc, know that YOUR DaddyGod is like that and MUCH MORE. :D

And never compare thinking you are less because you might not be someone who likes to be in the frontline, or you prefer to be quiet than to talk. It's alright leh. If you enjoy being that then go ahead lah. I think many times, it's your enjoyment that Daddy is more interested in. Because at the end of the day, can you smile and say, "I have lived my life."? You have only one life on earth. Don't waste it living someone else's life. :)

Okay... One life, live it. Don't just survive. :)

Time to sleep ZzzZzzz... haha. Good night and Good day. This is the day the LORD has made, I WILL rejoice and be GLAD in it. :D

YOU ARE LOVED.

I AM VERY LOVED. haha. I know I need it lah. lols.

Unbroken Fellowship

2008-04-26T00:37:00.004+08:00

haha. Praise Jesus, it's weekend - rest time! haha.

Been wanting to blog about this but was kinda tired the past few nights but I've decided tonight that I wanna blog it anyway. Don't wanna hold it any longer - knowing it has been a blessing to my woolies when I shared with them, wanna share it here as well so that more would be blessed with the Word of encouragement from Daddy. :)

Okay, some background of what I'm gonna share... :)

This happened in like March this year if I'm not wrong.

Not sure what happened but during that period of time, I was kinda sad and depressed. And during that time, when my spiritual dad talk to me, I would just feel like crying. So he asked me what happened, etc... Not sure at first but as I asked Daddy, I started to realise there's one area of my life that I did not want to open up to DaddyGod.

It was something that I was really disappointed in and being disappointed, I did not talk to DaddyGod about it because a part of me blamed Him for me being disappointed. So in February when He wanted to talk to me about that topic, I just told Him, "Lord, You know very well I don't want to talk about it. So yeap. I wouldn't talk to You about it.". And I moved on to do other things. haha. Sounds funny now. But yeap. :)

Then some time later were the events of my spiritual dad talking to me, etc.

So as he probed further, he could sense the defense so he just said that if I don't wanna talk about it to him then talk to God. But it was exactly then that I felt that I should just tell him because if I had wanted to talk to Papa God about it, the problem or feeling of disappointment wouldn't be there already.

So yeap, there I was typing an angry email to him. haha. So yeap, and there were shedding of light and though there were seeming correction, there was so much grace because the spirit knows that that was exactly it. We don't need love that is soft. We, children of God, need tough Love. Love that would Love us as we are and should we fall, there is no condemnation because Love is God Himself. :D

So yeap. And of course it was so good after I shared that, having buried it for so long, at last Daddy's light was shed in that area. :D

But then comes the next point... haha.

The next day when I was spending time with Daddy God, there was just this feeling of being far from God. Notice I used the word feeling? That means it's not true. haha.

Then at one point I just told Daddy, "I know You are still here with me leh. But it just feels different lay. It seems like our relationship isn't as cool as before. You know right, the very reason why I didn't wanna bring up that topic (that which I thought He had disappointed me) is because I feel it would hurt our relationship." haha. Like as if what I did would matter when our relationship was based on the blood of Jesus.

Then what happened next was really God... Not sure why but I started reading Romans 6 in the Amplified version. And the verses that caught me are:-

Romans 6:10-11 (AMP)
10For by the death He died, He died to sin [ending His relation to it] once for all; and the life that He lives, He is living to God [in unbroken fellowship with Him].

11Even so consider yourselves also dead to sin and your relation to it broken, but alive to God [living in unbroken fellowship with Him] in Christ Jesus.

:) It doesn't really matter what I did or going to do because as Christ had died to the falling short of the mark, so have I! And today I am alive to God! hehe.

What does it mean to be alive to God? Holy living? Perfect lifestyle? NO! But alive in this unbroken fellowship with Him! Today it is the NEW and LIVING way when we come to God. It is NEW; it doesn't matter what happenED. When you come to God, it's as fresh and as good as NEW. And the more you come, the more you LIVE.

So don't worry leh. In the midst of you having that lustful or crude thought, you are still in communion with Jesus, with Daddy. So talk to Him! haha. Your FELLOWSHIP with Him is UNBROKEN. It is UNBROKEN leh. Have you ever seen anything so perfect???? It is Unbroken just because you are in the Ark (Christ). It doesn't matter what you go into the Ark with - clean (your strength) or unclean (your weakness) animals, as long as you go into the Ark, you are saved and safe.

I love the illustration/ explanation of the difference between a fellowship and a relationship.

Relationship - Connection by blood or marriage; kinship e.g. Dad and daughter.
If me, I would simply say it as status - on paper.
Fellowship - Communion: interchange or sharing of thoughts or emotions; intimate communication (got the meaning of communion from http://www.dictionary.com/) :D

You can have a status relationship with Daddy God but do you fellowship, share with Him your thoughts and emotions? I love the second part of the definition - intimate communication. INTIMATE. haha. How close would you allow the LORD to get to you? :D

It's very amazing because we were watching the Nooma DVDs at Jamie's place just now, and one of which is Breathe. :) I love the part that says that the Hebrew name of the LORD - YHVH are all letters whereby you breathe. What I caught was that, with every breath that I take, I am calling upon the LORD.

It's not too much to ask God to make you so conscious of Him with every breath that you take. I call myself blessed in Jesus' name. Amen. :D

haha. I pray that the consciousness of yours and mine would be filled with the realness of the LORD. In Jesus' name, amen. :)

Thank You LORD that there's no need to compare because where I am, what's needed, You have already given, provided and exceeded. I give glory (a good opinion) to You. :)

Testifying of His goodness - Healed of peeling arm

2008-04-20T23:27:00.006+08:00

Hi hi. :) Here to testify of the goodness of God. haha. Remember I wanted to show you my peeling arm? :)

To be frank, I was quite distrubed about it. If no one was, I was. haha. So during CG on Friday, when Han was asking if anyone has any prayer request, I decided that I wanted my peeling arm to be prayed for, that the peeling would be speedy. haha.

I kinda talked to Daddy about it during the week... I was telling Him about how my arm was peeling and I didn't like it at all. But despite that, I still wore short sleeves to work. So yah.

So was just telling Him about how it's not pretty and I just said, "Like very bimbo hor." "Like small matter right; why so fussy over it?" haha. But He just told me loh, "But if it matters to you and troubles your heart, then it's not small already." "Nothing's too small.". haha.

So yah. And even when I was being prayed for during CG, I just laughed and snickered a little - still thinking it's a bimbo prayer. haha. But anyway, who cares lah. Daddy loves me enough lah; I mean more than enough to send His Beloved Son to die so uglily on the cross, for me. So yeap. Jesus didn't give me His beauty for nothing. :D

Okay, Pictures time... hehe.

How it looked like on Thursday night, at 11ish. :(

How it looks like today (20-Apr-08)! :D *BEAMS*
And this is even before I apply any moisturiser. heh heh!

haha. Not totally done with peeling but it sure look prettier now. hehe. Really, the prayer of the righteous avails much. And nothing is too small that Daddy is too busy for. :D If it bothers you, it bothers Him. And the good thing about that is that, when He is bothered, He can do something about it. :D

LOVED. ("V")

At Lanta Experience

2008-04-17T23:22:00.010+08:00

haha. As per Esther dear's request, I am here to talk about our at Lanta Experience. haha.

Me being me, I think I would do something chronological... hehe.

Anyway, just to start with, really wanna thank DaddyGod for planning this trip with us and for us. We're really really graced can. From the application of Leave, to the booking of tix, the finances, the week just doesn't have any CG activities somehow, the experience there, the people we met... LOVED.

hehe. Daddy really knows His stuff. Because we kinda like just set a faith date to go and it was over the weekend. To be frank I was kinda upset that we might be missing CG activities; not being there with the CG when they are hanging out. But you know what? Daddy is really bigger than our finite planning can! For no reason and I don't know what reason, there just wasn't any CG activities that week when the calendar (in the natural), says there should be CG (be it outing or what) that week. So yeah! hehe.

Then okay, like I've said in my previous post, it was my first time taking a plane!! hehe. Okay, weirdo me was thinking would I experience a turbulence. heh heh. I wanna feel how is it like. But anyway, I didn't k. Think Daddy just wanna make my first experience pleasant. hehe. And I get to sit by the window - both the trip to Phuket and the trip back! So loved can. hehe.

Oh ya, and I thank God for spiritual dad 'cos he prayed for us on Sunday and it really lifted the anxiety off my heart - supernaturally. hehe.

Oh ya. Wanna thank DaddyGod for constant hint to take full day leave on 3rd Apr. Okay, in the end I didn't take full; I only took the .5 day leave for 3rd Apr as planned and I managed to work from home which is really praise Jesus. Because I only started packing my bag on Wed night. Packed till 3 plus can. =S Pack and unpack.... haha.

Okay. Then when we checked in, we went to eat... Slowly made our way there... To the don't know where. The place where you need to go through before you get into the plane? Then we were the last ones can. haha. We had to run when we were nearing the gantry. lols.

Oh man. The food I had on plane wasn't nice. =S It's some processed fish which I don't like. haha. Anyway... that's not the point. I enjoyed myself. Didn't get to explore and see how's the plane toilet is like though. haha.

In Phuket

3-Apr-08

haha. Then when we touched down, our initial plan was to take the airport bus... But we being princesses, ended up taking a private min-bus. Not very private actually 'cos we shared with 5 other people. haha. But very loved. Because we were going to Phuket Town, the driver dropped us first! hehe. I call that favor. haha.

Show you the super big bed and room we had k. haha.

This is like only 2 of the beds. We have got 3 beds in total! hehe. The last one is a single bed. hehe. Sino House Rocks!

This was suppose to be for 3 people leh! We have 5 still enough space can. haha. Anyway, we stayed at Phuket Town for only 1 night. Because the next morning, we would be taking ferry to Lanta! Oh my. Another favor because without any bargaining, the hotel manager gave us a really good price for the Ferry tix - the price on chart were meant to be for kids! haha. Oh ya, the receptionist - a guy by the name Doll has got nice eyes. haha. And no, I'm not gonna marry there. lols.

Oh ya, I forgot to mention... The night before we went out for dinner, we only reached Phuket at like SG 1800hrs like that if I'm not wrong, we prayed. And I really saw the prayer I prayed come to past before my eyes. I prayed that God would send angels ahead of us to pave the way for us. And I saw it happen.

Right from our dinner that night. Girls - remember the guy who could speak mandarin and thai? I believe God planted him there for us so that we could pay the bills. lols.

So the next morning (4-Apr), we woke up early to nice weather and nice breakfast! hehe. Then we went down to take mini-bus to the Ferry port (or is it called pier? haha).

On the Ferry

4-Apr-08

haha. Me being vain, I wanted to put on the contact lenses there and dear Esther and Dot was there with me, instead of looking at the nice sceneries they were there watching me try putting it in. =S haha. Thanks Sweets. And some of the people there were really sweet. One lady just asked me am I okay, give me some tips as to how to put on... So yeah.

So yeah. Managed to get the lenses in after don't know how long. haha. Not more than an hour but maybe more than half an hr? haha. Not sure.

So after putting on my lenses, I can wear the shades I bought at Phuket Town the previous day! hehe. Bought it in a mini-mart. Something like a 7-Eleven in Spore? But theirs is FreshMart. haha.

So me with princesses below:-

Us, still fair..... haha.

At Lanta

4-Apr-08

Then when we reached Lanta, we initially wanted to take a cab. But I kinda spotted someone who would ferry us to Lanta Palace for free. Okay. Initial plan was that we shouldn't take their transport 'cos we had a room for 3 but we have 5 occupants. So yah. Do your own thinking. haha. But I didn't know you see. But in the end, favor again, we managed to get to the resort on the Palace transport. hehe. So cool~

Hmm... Palace didn't look as cool as Sino House (the place we stayed at in Phuket Town). Was initially disappointed but I guess we kinda got over it quite fast... haha. I think. haha.

Then Esther and Dot went out to find a car - they went out on a bike -Dot rode with Esther at the back. Woohoo! haha. Then it all started to dawn on me that maybe it would be more activities packed than I thought? Hmm... haha.

Anyway, I was left at the resort with Christina and Karen so we went to the restaurant to sit down. haha. Then suddenly mentioned about family. Think we were talking about my contact lens - I was contemplating whether to continue wearing it when I'm in SG. Anyway, at this point of the talk, suddenly I realised this is one area I wanna trust God for - my family life. So yeap. :)

Some cute stuff - wooden toys at the restaurant. If I'm not wrong, the restaurant name is Orchid Restaurant. :)

Then after like 2 hrs? Not sure how long, Esther came back with a car and Dot was behind 'cos she was riding, so was slightly slower. Not too slow actually. She came in shortly after Esther arrives. hehe. Then we had to drive the car back to the rental place with the rental guy 'cos had to put passport as deposit. So yah. hehe.

So off we went, to find out about the snorkelling thingy first I think. So we headed to the pier first. And along the way we stopped to exchange money and also to have Mango Glutinous Rice. YUMMY. hehe. Then after we check out the snorkelling stuff, we went off to find some place to eat.

Hmm... The first night where did we go for dinner? Okay, we went Khao Yai Restaurant. Dear Karen drove. hehe. When we reached there, my first initial thought, "Are we cheated? How come no people de?!". haha. "Does it mean the food isn't that nice?" haha. 'Cos the restaurant beside - View Point Restaurant was crowded. haha. So yah. But praise Jesus lah. Food was good. haha. Looked at pretty pretty stars when we were in the car. So beautiful can. Like blanket like that. hehe.

Our whacky pic at Khao Yai. Christina still looking very pretty... haha.

Khao Yai - Taking the sign board from inside the restaurant.

Then first day at Lanta, Dot and Esther got tanned le. hehe. Thanks for riding out to get the car. :D

5-Apr-08

Dot and beautiful scenery at Orchid Restaurant. Having Breakfast. :D

We woke up early - like 7ish Thai time? Then we went for breakfast at the resort and we went out. This time round, Christina babe drove. haha.

Okay, I'm not sure of the sequence of the places we went but I know on this day we went to View Point in the morning and we went to Lanta Old Town. Not much of pics though. haha.

Ancient sewing machine made into a table - at View Point Restaurant.

Beautiful scenery we saw when we were at Old Town. :)

Then we went back to the same place we checked out the day before to get the snorkelling thingy booked.

At first I wasn't quite happy with it... Because actually I wasn't very keen on snorkelling. To be frank I think I was scared. haha. So when I know how much we're gonna pay for it, I was unhappy - paying this much for something that I don't know if I would enjoy. =S So I kinda walked off for some personal time after we paid up. Oh, I was the treasurer for the trip. So yah. I also learnt certain stuff about being a treasurer during a trip. Maybe can implement it on the next trip I would be going - provided I would still be the treasurer or in the first place there would be a treasurer. haha.

Oh ya, we went to suntan at Kant Tiang Bay View Resort de beach before we went to return the car in the evening and took a tuk-tuk back to the resort to watch Sunset. :)

On tuk-tuk back to Palace. :)

The Sun... When we were still on sand. :)

First breakthrough for a safe person like me - I climbed the rocks with the 2 adventurous babes, Dot and Esther, just to watch Sunset. haha. Was really nice experience because as I was walking up, not much of a climbing actually (haha), I really can feel Daddy fill me with courage. :D

Me and Esther dear on rocks. Dot taking our pics. :)

The Sun is setting. :D

The Sun behind the clouds. :D

Anyway the initiate plan to go to the Seafood place near the pier for dinner was aborted because treasurer raised up some issue - something that I had to talk to Daddy about thereafter. haha. Grace Grace.

So yah. Then second night we went to Thanya Restaurant for dinner. For this we walked and I kinda realised that walking along the road in Lanta is like rare sight; more like weird. haha. So people would stop by trying to get you take their tuk-tuk. haha. Anyway, Thanya serve nice fried rice. haha.

A lot of grace covers my 5-Apr-08. haha.

6-Apr-08

Oh, then comes our snorkelling trip. The snorkelling instructor was cute. By the way his name is Bill. haha.

On the way to the boat... Yes, still fair. lols.

Everything was really fun - not just because of the guy k. haha. I didn't enjoy it at first. Was super scared can. Not of the fish but of the water. haha. So yah. We went to 3 different places to snorkel. And after the first, I just told the girls, "I don't wanna snorkel! It's not fun!". Actually to paraphrase it - "I'm so scared! I don't wanna go down!" haha. But because we have to travel from island to island, on the boat I was just talking to God about it. And He made the second trip onwards enjoyable. :)

haha. The guy in green in Bill. hehe. But too bad girls... He's married with a kid though he's only 20! =S haha.

Then I was so red after I came back from the snorkelling can! =S 'Cos I was sitting in the sun most of the time. haha. Will show pics of my burnt now peeling arm later. haha.

Sunset on 6-Apr. Watched it at the pool side of Palace. :)
By the way, this wasn't an egg-yolk because the sun set behind the clouds as well. :)

Sky, water, lamp. Nice~ haha.

Then when we came back, wanted to go to the Seafood place for dinner le - on bike this time round because we returned the car the evening before remember? But it started to thunder so we ended up having dinner at Palace de restaurant - Orchid Restaurant instead. haha. We were having the same menu for like most of our dinners - Tom yum soup, green curry, glass noodle... haha.

And during the dinner, a rat ran across the the ceiling. hehe. Funny though. Because told Esther not to say it out in case it scare the girls.

Okay. So we turned in for the night. Being RED. haha.

7-Apr-08

Being our last full day on Lanta, we wanted to explore the island. So another breakthrough for me - I rode a bike! hehe. Okay. Not high speed kind k. It was more like a scooter to me. hehe. But was very blessed with Christina as my passenger because she is very encouraging. Thanks babe!

Me trying the bike at Palace compound. :D Can see my face? lols.

Nice scenery we see everytime we set off from Palace towards the Pier. :)

Anyway, we set off real early, not sure if we had breakfast, but we went to the pier that area. Wanted to go to the swedish restaurant for breakfast but apparently Thais they don't really eat breakfast and the restaurant wouldn't be open till like near noon. So we hungry people - Esther, Dot, Christina, and me (Karen babe wanted to stay with Jesus on resort) set off to somewhere else to EAT. haha. Okay. Seems like we didn't have breakfast till we reach the pier there. haha.

Did I tell you that I really love the traffic and the people there in Lanta? We got so used to the scenery there that when we were back in SG, our eyes might see flats and buildings but our heart sees the beautiful sky, beach, sand and sea. haha. I love the road from Palace to Pier. :) Something very interesting about Lanta, their roads are just straight man. No left turns or right turns (very minimal) so you can't exactly get lost on the island even if you want to. haha.

Coming out of the breakfast place, when I was starting the engine of the bike, I accelerated too fast and off went bike and me... (in a very narrow lane). Thank God it came to a sudden stop. haha. To be frank, I took some time to recover. There forward, kept talking to Daddy man. haha. But would I still wanna ride if I go back there? OF COURSE! haha. Too fun to miss it. hehe.

So we went off exploring the island.

Kids we saw along the way. Don't play play k. The boy in blue on extreme left was the one who rode and brought the other kids around. haha.

Wanted to go to the TIger Cave but it was aborted because it would take like 2 hrs? =S haha. So we didn't go in the end. We went off exploring the other parts of the island~ hehe.

Anyway, side track a bit - Dotty and Esther skided and again, Daddy placed people there that cared. :) Oh~ wanted to post the pic of this guy who helped us get the medication but don't seem to have it. Anyway, Daddy bless him. :)

A lot of happenings... How I was forced to conquer this "mountain" - had to ride onto this really steep slope. haha. JESUS! haha. Noone forced me but just that I didn't wanna turn back so yeah. haha. But it was really God because when I was on it, it didn't feel as steep as it looked like. And something beautiful that we saw after that steep slope:-

Me going up slope. :)
When returning back, I realised this wasn't the steepest. There were more ahead - steep and winding ones which I couldn't get up 'cos was too tired. haha. But thank God there was a security guard up ahead at a resort and he helped me ride up the slope while me and Christina walked up. haha.

Happy me at beautiful place. :D

The beautiful place. haha.

Love this place. It oversees the sea and the everything beautiful. haha.
Oh ya, and this was the place I saw the sms from Justin about God being the God of the mountains and valleys. haha. Literal for our case - High and low terrains. hehe.

Then we went to the abandoned resort as well. Very beautiful. haha. We wanted to go to the waterfall but the terrain was too rocky so yah. hehe.

Then this time we went to Sri Lanta to watch Sunset. Beautiful! :) We saw the "egg yolk" sunset! After 2 days of seeing the sun set behind the clouds, Daddy provided His girls with "egg yolk" Sunset for the last evening in Lanta. hehe.

Not sure where was this; think this is the open heaven dot was saying? haha. I realised we don't have "egg yolk" sunset de pics? hehe.

"Egg yolk" sunset! haha.
But see live one is so much nicer! haha. The pic doesn't justify the beauty our King drew for us. hehe.

Then we scoot back to resort; couldn't stay too long cos my lenses don't have asti so I can't really see clearly with the dim lightings in Lanta. haha. So went back to resort to change to specs before we scoot off to OTTO for dinner! hehe.

Last dinner on Lanta... Beautiful place also. Should go again in the morning because it's just by the beach. :)

Then we went back to shower, pack pack to get ready for tomorrow morning's ferry back to Phuket. haha.

8-Apr-08

We're gonna miss LANTA. haha.

Back from Lanta...

:) Just came back from Lanta last Tuesday. hehe. Had like a 5.5 days get away with the girls. SO fun can. haha.

It was kinda different from what I first thought. Thought we would be doing stuff like sharing the Word together, praise & worship, etc but as we settle down and started doing the activities, it started to sink in that, maybe it's just different from what I thought yah? haha.

Anyway, that was like the first time I was taking a plane! haha. And it's like my second official trip overseas. First was HM6ix - on coach.

Anyway, God was really faithful, every step of the way. We might not be doing the churchy thing but where we were, God met us. :) He is really bigger than I thought. :)

A lot of favor I saw. I saw the faithfulness of Daddy to make things smooth for us. And I learnt that I like country life! So fun. haha.

You know when my colleagues asked me what I did there, I couldn't really say I did a lot of things but I know it's fulfilling and fun-pack because Jesus showed Himself to me as a NOW God. Daddy showed me during the Lanta trip that I get to spend time with Him, always. Not just when I open the bible or do p&w. My God is bigger than that. :)

During the trip I saw myself step out and was God-equipped with courage.

Thank You Daddy God that all these are just the beginning. :)

I wanna travel more!! haha.

------------------------------

I love what Pastor Benjamin and Pastor Prince preached over the weekend. Thank You Lord that You are shaking that which can be shaken so that our trust would only be based on the rock solid foundation of You.

DaddyGod, take over this life of mine. I love the Daily Devo that talks about - when I can't, DaddyGod can. DaddyGod, there are so many areas in my life that often I thought I can but there are so many times that I would come to a point where I'm stucked or get things screwed up. So Daddy, I choose to give it to You first. Daddy, enlarge my heart that I would see You in Your majesty much more. :)

I love the sermon I listened to on Monday. Pastor was talking about the Mount of Tranfiguration. That though the disciples were sleeping, the glory of Jesus did not cease. The glory of God isn't limited by my infirmities but how much better when I get to wake up to see that glory of DaddyGod. Therefore Daddy, enlarge my heart to see You so much more. :)

I love the preaching on sowing as well. I love it. I'm starting to ask Daddy show me my harvest. Because it's foolish to tell a farmer to not expect a harvest when he sows his seed. Therefore it is also foolish to not expect a harvest when one sows.

There are little things that Daddy has shown me so let me share... :)

While I was in Lanta, I came across some pretty houses that are building-in-process. Then I thought to myself, "these must be for tourists because why would they be building something so nice for themselves?" Then right there DaddyGod caught me - Family is more impt dear. Beautiful houses are meant to be built for family to live in.

Then I also started wearing contact lenses during the trip. But have not worn it to work before and it was kinda uncomfortable initially. Praise Jesus, am getting used to it. But during this period of uncomfortability (is there such a word? haha.), I saw that Daddy is really interested in my own well-being. He wants to prosper me first. He wants me to be healthy first. Because when I was feeling so uncomfortable, I can't be bothered about the rest and most of the time I am thinking about myself. So yeap. It's not weird to ask DaddyGod to bless you yah because it has been bought by the blood.

And something I realised about myself when I returned from the trip - whenever I meet with anything, I would tell Daddy, "Daddy, I cast my cares to You." Something that made me very healthy because I don't carry burden that's not mine to start with. Daddy, let my casting of cares to You become a lifestyle. :)

Something that caught me during the training on Saturday was that, serving might not always be fun but it is always a privilege. :)

haha. Trusting God for restoration of relationships. :)

Okay. Have fun. :)

If you'r aware of the life within you...

2008-03-12T11:00:00.004+08:00

Hi Dearly Loved,

:D haha. Something kept raising up in my heart and I thought I just wanna share about it. :)

"If you'r aware of the life within you, you would feed and nourish it." :)

That day was just hearing Han share that the Holy Spirit is within us. I know it's like duh, we all know that. But if you really do know that your spirit man is alive, you would feed and nourish it. Just like how you would eat your meals regularly so that you wouldn't starve. Similarly, you would feed and nourish your spirit man with the Word of God. You would quench that thirst with the presence of God. You would refresh yourself by praying in the Spirit.

Pastor Lian released the word at Arrow, to allow this year to be a year that you hear the Word much more as compared to all the years added up together. Take chance, keep hearing. Because faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of Christ. :)

Romans 10:14-17 (MSG)
14-17 But how can people call for help if they don't know who to trust? And how can they know who to trust if they haven't heard of the One who can be trusted? And how can they hear if nobody tells them? And how is anyone going to tell them, unless someone is sent to do it? That's why Scripture exclaims,
A sight to take your breath away! Grand processions of people telling all the good things of God!But not everybody is ready for this, ready to see and hear and act. Isaiah asked what we all ask at one time or another: "Does anyone care, God? Is anyone listening and believing a word of it?" The point is: Before you trust, you have to listen. But unless Christ's Word is preached, there's nothing to listen to.

haha. Nothing you listen to would cause you to trust/rest unless it's Christ's Word. Enjoy the beholding of Jesus as you hear the preached Word of Christ. :)

----------------------------------------------

haha. I had my portion of loti today when I was so angry before lunch. Was telling the princesses about this mountain. haha. Thank God I had my own time with Him during lunch, talking and sleeping. haha. *I don't usually nap during lunch. But today angry so needed it. lols. So yah. And Papa just told me, "All these wouldn't matter in all eternity." Then suddenly okay already. haha. Not angry le. hehe. :D

Okay. Have fun people.

Your Jesus loves you, everyday. :D

His Love. :)

240208 - His Goodness Overflows. :)

2008-02-24T23:41:00.004+08:00

:) Felt very loved today. hehe. With all the sharing over at Killiney and by Pastor's preaching. :)

I went to the service without knowing what was preached, which is kinda unusual 'cos usually I will get to meet people from the previous service so I would have some prelude of what Pastor preached but today I didn't meet anyone.

Yet DaddyGod was very very faithful because before the service I just told Him that I was kinda "busy" on the inside and I needed Him to just rest me. And there it is! A service on rest. Just for me. haha.

Anyway, just some updates about myself...

I'm not going back to studies! haha. At least for now that I know. Decided to give this time's uni admission a pass. hehe. Daddy gave me a lot of peace when I decided to give this year's uni admission a pass. So yea. hehe.

During the period when I was still deciding whether to apply, I was reading the book of Isaiah one of the days. And the word that kept coming up to me was the word "arise". Wasn't sure arise from what but I read something from Isaiah 52 which was later confirmed by Han then by Pastor today.

Isaiah 52:2
Shake yourself from the dust, arise; Sit down, O Jerusalem! Loose yourself from the bonds of your neck, O captive daughter of Zion!

haha. When I first read the verse, I thought that, "DaddyGod, You're so funny! You ask people arise then ask people sit.". haha. But yeap, Daddy showed me what He was trying to say. :)

We all know that dust means cares and Daddy is actually asking me to arise from all the cares (back then was my apprehension about studies) and sit down (rest!). You are a city of peace. You are made for peace. Sit down. Get up and get out of your cares by resting! :) hehe.

Then pastor also shared that Anak = chain around the neck. And it's like parallel to the second part of the verse. :D

Rest people. haha.

Today as I was talking to a bro, I saw that faith comes hand-in-hand with rest. haha. To me faith is trust and when you trust, that DaddyGod would work on your behalf, you can rest.
So to have faith is to simply rest. hehe. Easy right? :D

I was very encouraged to just share recently. First Daddy spoke to me then it was sharing by a bro. :)

I was reading charis' blog and she was sharing about how God fulfilled one of those thoughts that she had when she was young. To me she's someone who always seem to be living her dreams.

Then I was talking to Jesus about it and I realised, actually all of us have our own share of dreams being fulfilled, seeing Daddy real in our lives. But how come some people seem to have it more? It's simply because they choose to share about it. And as they share of what Jesus did for them, Jesus is magnified yet again.

I'm sure there are things that you've asked for/ hoped for today that took place. E.g. you wanted a bus to come later? haha. I always ask for that man. Especially when I wear my high high heel. haha. Tell Daddy to make the traffic light wait for me and ask Him to make the bus wait for me. haha.
Even the smallest things that you've asked for, do you know your Daddy heard and He went into action?

Don't despise the small thing (even if you think that small thing is yourself) because Jesus took the five loaves and two fish, gave thanks and it was MULTIPLIED. Not just increased. It was MULTIPLIED. Expect exponential multiplication people; be it quality or quantity.

There were several changes that took place in my life during this short period of like 2-3 months? First it was my colleague leaving then I was shaken, thinking maybe I should leave the job also! haha. Then when I finally got my heart settled, all prepared to eat this mountain-bread, I got news that she's not leaving. Then it was another colleague that would be leaving, learning the stuff she has been doing halfway, then got news that she's not leaving. Then my bro left for his studies. Then there was about to be a change of leader, got my heart settled and got news that there wouldn't be any change for the time being.

My response at the end? "God, YOU ARE SO FUNNY CAN!" haha.

I came to know that change is constant but my God is constant too. Throughout this time, it's really my growing period of dependency upon my God. To just spend time with my DaddyGod and Jesus. Leaning on His finished work and HIS opinion and love for me. :) Came to see that all that I do, my work and my service is to my DaddyGod.

haha. This was my journey during this period of time. More to come Jesus. :D

Oh my, so much was shared over at Killiney! I was reminded of what dot shared, about hearing the Word of God, let it drop into our heart and we would dance to the tune of God's word. So beautiful! :D

Anyway, I was really encouraged to keep sharing or even to start sharing again as sam shared about being open to share during cg. As he shared, I was reminded of what pastor preached before - The revelation that Daddy gives us are like wine and if we don't share, it would ferment within us. But as we share, we are actually making room for new wine to be poured in! So yeap. Just keep sharing and let Jesus keep pouring new wine in! :D

The only difference between the dead sea and the sea of galilee is that, though both seas have inlet, dead sea has not outlet but sea of galilee has. Don't be a dead sea, be the flowing sea of galilee. :D

Jesus, You are amazing.
Continue to show Yourself to me more and more. :)

2008-01-06T23:14:00.000+08:00

Hello Dearly Loved!

haha. I'm here to blog!!! hehe. HAPPY HAPPY! Today my sista (my good friend in sec school) came and she accepted Jesus! :) Praise Jesus, it's an answered prayer! Amazing how I got to witness this because this wasn't her first time to NCC but today when she's here, she decided to raise her hand. :) Remember I told Daddy last year that I would like to see her in church with me. :) HE remembers yea. Daddy has GOOODDD memory. He remembers all our forgotten prayers. hehe.

OH YEA! Year 2008, a year of God's goodness and favor; a year of answered prayers. :)

hehe. Okay. Like always, I've been wanting to blog so this is like long awaited can. haha. Was talking to Papa and decided that I wanna blog about some stuff. hehe. Amazing how Daddy reminded me of my dreams near end last year and everyone else is starting to talk about dreams again. hehe. I read JZ's blog and I like what I read. haha.

Reminds me of some stuff that links with what Pastor preached today about the power to get wealth. That when you line up with DaddyGod's plan, you would be blessed beyond imagination. :)

You know yesterday I was just asking/talking to Daddy about dreams. I pray that the buzz of this world would never engulf our dreams within because we are made for greater things than the mundane. :)

Justin, thanks for the sms. It just reminds me that Jesus is still in control. :)

DaddyGod, I put my dreams under Your grace. :) I love what You showed me but sometimes I don't know the how. haha. Love it that Daddy reminded me that He knows where to find His David. :) Daddy knows where to find me. :)

Jesus, thanks for making me look good all the time. :) You are my confidence. :) haha. You really are the One who a smile on my face, a skip in my step.

haha. Okay. Gonna share something that has been in my heart. :)

haha. Got cute pictures to illustrate. :) Anyway, some background of what I'm gonna share. Heard this from a dear sister and I kept seeing it so true. :)
That the only common point between you and I is Jesus.

We might have common interest, common family background or even educational level but if we don't both have Jesus, in actual fact we don't have nothing in common. This was shared in the context of bgr but I saw that even in friendships, Jesus is essential.

The only reason why people can just click off or even start a convo and much more have the friendship/relationship strong is because Jesus is in our midst. HE is the dew of heaven, the Favor that holds us together. :)

Oh man. Can't seem to upload the pics on my blogger. haha.

Jesus, I want Favor more and more. :)

haha. Okay. Need to sleep. haha. Blessed Dreams! :)

Random Post but still, I'm loved :)

2007-12-27T10:08:00.000+08:00

Oh my! I wanna share! I had so much fun yesterday! haha.

I was just calling newcomers in the cg and I had so much fun talking to one of them! You know, Daddy really renewed my mind. Not sure about you but sometimes I'll tend to think when I call them = listen to them and encourage them. But this time round, it's totally the opposite can. I met someone who walks her walk with God and awesome! haha. So much fun.

Now I have a secret pal! haha. We said that we will not make plans to meet till like one day somehow DaddyGod make our paths cross, literally. hehe. SO fun can! haha.

I really love the fellowship I had with her. Things that she said really brought me back to basic. I love the soundness I hear when she share. I super love this one part when she shared, "when you are at the lowest, what will pull you up wouldn't be the experiences you had with God. but the Word of God." Yes, DaddyGod would always grace our lives with experiences with Him and HE is real but our hope cannot be based upon experiences because HIS Word is truth. :)

Jesus is THE way. He isn't a method; He is THE method.

So cool can. Just wanna meditate on Jesus being with me. Jesus gracing me with HIS WORD. :) I've been so loved. :D

-----------------

Oh my. I only managed to blog the above when I was in office. haha. Feeling kinda tired but decided that I shan't hold my post no more! haha. Because before long it'll be new year. keke.

:) Daddy, add days to my life and life to my days. :)

haha. I've been wanting to blog about my past 1 year. How it has been a really awesome journey I took. Jesus, this year was really a year of new beginnings for me. Began to learn that without Jesus I'm really nothing. :) I am so looking forward to camps!! Because I remember when HM6ix ended, we thought all the hypes have come to an end but I heard someone share, "just when you thought HM has ended; it has actually just started.".

Super loved can. :)

This year I bumped into failures.
This year I realised that God is really ALIVE and interesting in the things of my life.
This year I saw that Daddy is in control, always. hehe.
This year I let go of my dreams; only to be reminded of it again by Daddy Himself.

Today was really cool. haha. Because I bought gifts for 2 of my colleagues. Being not very prepared, I went into office and just tell Daddy, "make sure they don't come in till I put the gift on their tables k.". It's just like a causal remark but Daddy took it and make it happen can. They really never come in till I placed the gift on both their tables. And when I return back to my seat and was sitted comfortably, both of them walked in at the same time! haha.

Jesus, let my confidence rest in You and what Your Word says.
You are awesome in this place. :)

haha. Random Post but still, I'm loved. :)

Family - He's interested

2007-12-06T21:54:00.000+08:00

:) Hello precious ones~ :)

Been wanting to share but haven't really sat down to do that so here I am today, feeling so woo-ed by my Jesus. No, my actions are not perfect yet but the presence of the Lord is so amazing. I've been feeling so woo-ed these few days when I reach home and now that I'm sitting on the chair in my room, I feel His Presence all over again. :)

There's many things on my heart that I wanna share. So I shall just go with the flow. :)

Daddy God, thank You for Favor and Wisdom. So much I have to learn but so much of Grace as well. Today I was thinking of some magazine stuff and how Daddy wants our lives to be wholesome. We are well groomed and well fed not just spiritually but physically as well. I have been so well fed in this house of God that many a times the change in my physical life is spontaneous.

Like how Daddy God is so interested in my family life. Week in, week out hearing this awesome man of God preaching, I feel so blessed. It's amazing how Daddy God just turn my heart and show me His priorities. I remember I asked Daddy to show my His priorities in my life. And not long after, someone not knowing what I ask Daddy, talked to me about it.

Kinda brushed it off till like 2 weeks ago? The week that Rev. Col preached. Not once, not twice but three times I was reminded of His priorities. haha. Amazing yea. haha. Don't know if you agree but these are the priorities He showed me:-

1. DaddyGod, Jesus
2. Family
3. Work/School
4. Ministry

It's always Himself first and then family. I used to think that ministry comes first only to realise that actually after creating the man - Adam, He created a woman - Eve for him.

I remember pastor shared before how it's always inside out. And when your family is blessed, it would affect every other areas as well. Yes of course DaddyGod comes first. Spending time with Him is important but do follow the life within as well.

Love what pastor shared before that sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do is to get down and play with your kids.

For me, sometimes the most spiritual thing is to sit in front of the TV with my grandma or dad. haha. It's your presence they honor you see. Many times there's a limit to what you can give materially but things that can't be bought - like your time, your presence, your hugs are actually the most precious.

Things can't be bought are valuable. It humbles you doesn't it? To think that with all that you worked for and the effort you put in, with the money you earned, you can't buy the finished work nor righteousness of God.

I realised there's so much grace needed to be a mummy. Because some time back one of my bosses shared about bgr stuff that her young daughter is facing. And the first thing I said was, "but it's not her time yet what.". Then her response made me realised that Jesus - Wisdom Himself has to be involved in a mummy's life. Not sure of her exact words but in essence she say, "I'll pray about it... if I say yes, what are the guidelines and if I say no, why?". haha. To think that I, who was a teenager once and still is (haha!), thought that a simple No would brush it off. haha. Grace grace to be a mummy! haha.

So much to grow this season. So much grace. So much wisdom. So much discernment. His love overwhelms doesn't He? haha.

Thank You Jesus for such awesome growing times.
Thank You Daddy that though there's much to learn, You always remind me that the work is finished.

haha. So looking forward to camp! haha. I mean our own YWA one. haha. Immersed in the presence of Daddy! haha. So fun so fun! haha.

Holy Spirit, open my eyes to see Jesus is more than enough. haha.

When you make Daddy so big instead of your situation, you can see so much better.
When your situation is big in your sight, you would be manipulated by whatever that happens. But when Daddy is so big, Daddy would "manipulate" the situations for you. See Favor in action beloveds. YOU! The one whom Jesus died for! haha. Okay. Exclamation marks and caps just to catch your attention. hehe.

Have fun people. Life are meant to be enjoyed. Each day I'm seeing more and more, it's Jesus I need.

God wants to prosper your family. :)

With all Love,
Jesus' baby

4th day of W.F.H. & Less than a Month to Bday!!

2007-11-22T14:28:00.000+08:00

haha. In case you are wondering what's W.F.H.... It means working from home! haha.

How's the experience? It's good. haha.
I can wake up at the time I'm suppose to start work.
And I don't really have to walk any distance to get food. *Mummy prepares food for me!* haha.
Sermons are within my reach; can pick what I want but I still end up listening to the same one for the past few days. hehe. Still it's good. haha.
It's kinda weird though. Because I do what I usually do at office but it's like much lesser things to do when I'm home. haha.

But I missed talking! :S Not that I get to talk a lot when I'm in office but yeap. Human contact I guess. haha.

And I realised something about myself. Not that I realised it myself but my boss once mentioned then yesterday was my mum. I sigh quite often. And over what? I don't know. I will tend to sigh. Told Daddy about it already. Not sure of the reason but yeap. Confidently expect that it would stop soon! :)

And yesterday I felt so bored being home the whole day. And at night I decided to just close door and talk to Daddy. A nice experience. Just keep talking. haha. Could literally feel His presence. Not immediate. No vision. Just know He's there. Believe it's consciousness. :)

hehe. Decided to write this post because birthday is coming soon and remember pastor said this year is the year of new beginnings? :)

hurhur. Wonder how would birthday be like. Pressiesssss! haha. Someone reminded me about how in the past I used to remind people it's gonna be my birthday soon, one month before the actual day. haha. Okay I admit. I like receiving presents. haha.

This year was really a lot of new beginnings for me; new season basically.

January
New Specs and hairdo (if I'm not wrong)

February
Graduated. Started working previous part time job then.

April
Changed to temp job. First ever office job. Did secretarial/admin stuff.

July
Moved on to YWA caregroup - enjoyed being cared for & the whole load of sis and bros.
Whole load of new experiences. Stepping out of comfort zone. Felt insecure. Experienced Daddy come thru and bestow favor and strength upon me.
Experiencing life as a ben-gen, being baby of CG.

September
Stepped into new ministry and serving there.
Started perm job.
Oh ya! And working with 2 laptops. haha.

October
Wanted to leave perm job, thinking that it's not for me (haha!)
Yet received affirmation. :)
My third year in NCC
Name change of dept I serve in. Change of leadership.
Saw that life partner issue is real. haha.

November
Thinks that outdoor activity is fun. haha.
Tend to be more girly.
First time being ministered and cried like boo-boo baby in YWA Arrow Service.
Heard heavenly music.
New hairdo again. :)
First time working from home!
Learn that it's okay to feel and to accept how you feel. :)

Actually got a lot of new things but that's all I can remember, for now. :)

This season I really saw that in and of myself, I really cannot. Saw a lot of inadequacies actually. By my own strength I can't. Not that I have the full comprehension of that but slowly loh.

Seeing that I need Him so much more. Wanting heart revelation more than head knowledge.
It is so easy to rest security in what you know in your head. And a piece of advice to keep you from disappointment, it can only bring you so far. I know. 'Cos I once rested in how much I know. And it's quite sad 'cos when you stop "collecting" those knowledge, you'll have nothing else to rest on. And knowledge includes plain bible knowledge.

Know the Word Himself. Rest in Jesus. Rest....

Proverbs 16:20 (NKJV)
He who heeds the word wisely will find good, And whoever trusts in the LORD, happy is he.

:)

I've been Loved by Hunky

2007-11-13T22:37:00.000+08:00

haha. Yes. I've been loved by my Hunky. :)

Last week was quite a week for me. It was some emotion roller-coaster I went through that man, I didn't enjoy at all. haha.

But Hunky still showed Himself faithful. :)

Went for Arrow, was prayed over and cried like a boo-boo baby.

Even till now I can't point a finger at what was really wrong but I like what today's Daily Devotion by church said,

'God says to you, “Don’t focus on trying to control your rebellious teenager. Instead, seek first My kingdom, which is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. Be conscious of the righteousness you have as a gift from My Son... And as you seek first God’s kingdom, and follow His righteousness, peace and joy, the abundance within you will flow out and become a reality in your circumstances. (Matthew 6:33) You will find that God has not only taken care of what is troubling you, but has also added blessings to you...'

But how? "Be conscious of your righteousness in Christ. Don’t be conscious of your sins and problems. Listen to anointed teaching and preaching that remind you of how righteous you are because of the perfect sacrifice of Christ."

You know I suddenly realise my question asked had been answered again. :) Favor. :)

In my previous post I asked:- Anyway, have you ever felt like you wanna know Jesus on a whole new dimension? ... But my question is, how?

And you know what? The next day when I was serving I got the answer. Just that it didn't sink that deep. :) Was talking to one of them who were serving, asking her what did pastor Benjamin preached and pastor talked about people who were zealous for God but without knowledge. *Not sure if that's exactly what pastor preached but that's what I caught from what the sister shared. :)*

And praise Jesus. Was listening to sermon yesterday and pastor mentioned the above as well. :) Then pastor Benjamin went on to say that to know Jesus more is to use the gift of righteousness? haha. I forgot this part but I know it's about the gift of righteousness. Having the heart revelation that my righteousness is a gift; I can't earn it, I can only believe what HE did and receive it humbly.

After which I have been listening to sermon on Righteousness and today's devotion is yet another confirmation. I like the part about listening to anointed preaching and teaching.

Listening to anointed teaching and preaching doesn't just belong to the "super-spiritual" but it's yours, child of God! Because Jesus' death have given you the kingdom of God within you and it is to YOUR advantage that you find out your inheritance.

Something that Han shared last week after Arrow dinner caught my heart again. He wasn't talking to me but I was there. He shared about listening to the Word and how it is the spirit who catches it. Suddenly it just drop into my heart to keep on keeping on listening to the sermon.

Jesus just never stops loving.

He opened my eyes to see how blessed I am despite the boo-boo I felt inside due to emotion roller-coasters. He showed me how much favor He had showered me with; such love and wings of protection He has covered me with. The love of the sisters and brothers. The length (literally) people go just to love me. Jesus, it is undeserved. Only You know how those winks lifted me and showed me Your goodness once again. :)

I am a ben-gen and I shall enjoy the blessings as a ben-gen.
Being loved by my Big Brother who does everything for me. Undeserved, overflowing, all of Grace. :) Grace is ... Jesus. :)

Jesus, I know I can never stop You from loving me. :)

After a LooOoNnnnGggg time. haha.

2007-11-03T00:01:00.000+08:00

Hi All,

haha. After so long and here I am! hehe. And I'm going Sentosa in a few hours time. haha. Realised that I started this blog post with the format like how I would type an email. Anyway.... haha.

Been working for a month plus going to two. :D
"How has everything been?"
Would say it's alright. Not exactly exciting but wouldn't say it's very boring though. haha.

This week has been quite a quiet week. Didn't really ask my colleague if she needed help this week. Not sure why but went into a little hibernation mood this week. haha. Did my own stuff and whatever I was asked to help do but didn't really ask for more work though. haha.

This week was also a week where I have been sleeping real early. Today is one of the days that I am up late. 12am and it's considered late. haha. Average bedtime this week has been 10-10.30pm. hehe. Usually fall asleep while I was reading my book. *not exactly my book but yup, it's with me now. haha.* Not that it's boring but after sitting up for some time on my bed, I decided to lie down and read and the next time I wake up would either be in the wee hours of the night or somewhere near 12 to 1am. haha.

I'm reading the book On Eagles Wings by Col. Stringer. I tell you, if you haven't read the book, go get it! It's worth every cent! *though I didn't buy the book* haha.

I was there at Rock Bookstore and one of my cg friend was buying the book. I kinda like casually told her that I would like to read the book when she finish reading and last Saturday she passed it to me! Woohoo!! I'm now in the middle of chapter 4 and I'm still so excited about how Daddy actually liken us to Eagles! haha.

I'm thinking of my baptism name and might very well get more inspiration after I read much more about Eagles. haha. Would need conviction as to why I wanna call that particular name. Would want a name with the meaning of an Eagle. But that's just a thought. haha.

I can't explain it but it's amazing how the book captures my heart. It just keeps me wanting to read and know more about what's written in there. Believe it has been covered by a lot of prayers. Not sure why but just felt so. :D
I'm not so much of a reader; books that I read are school textbooks and a few other books. Sometimes not even completing them. haha. So far my most frequently read book is the Bible. So yeap. Something to recommend - On Eagles Wings by Col. Stringer! haha.

Haven't read the book today yet because I went shopping with Jesus just now. hehe. Was tired when I was on the bus back home. And even now I'm a little sleepy. haha.

Oh, did I tell you that the next chapter of the book that I'm gonna read is about the Love life of the Eagles? haha. Not sure if it's really about their love life but I think so, judging from the title. haha.

It's amazing how I am in a different season now. How finding a life partner which seemed like such a far away thing has now changed. And now here I am, excited when I hear pastor talking about it; how when pastor shared about finding our life partner, things just click in my heart. haha. Been listening to Pastor Prince's sermon on that these few days and the one thing that caught me was to pray for my future life partner; how prayers actually transcend time and I can start praying for him now. haha. You one blessed fellow. haha.

Anyway, have you ever felt like you wanna know Jesus on a whole new dimension? Been feeling like this ever since don't know when. Think after I started work? Not too sure. Yeap. But my question is, how?

:) This year is the year of new beginnings. hehe.

Alrighty. Off to read my book before I head to bed. :)

Nighty righteousness of God who hungers for more of Jesus and Him alone. :)

With all Love,
His Alone

After 1 week & 4 days at work...

2007-09-20T22:21:00.000+08:00

DaddyGod, I miss fellowshiping. :'( Daddy, iPod. My shuffle died on me and it's so difficult to get past the day without hearing Your Word. I feel so tired. :(

:) If you ask me how it is at work, I can tell you it's alright. haha. To be frank I had questions about the job; like is this really something God has for me, am I flowing in the gift that God has gifted me with? I hear about how people are liking what they do, how they experience the favor of God at job, I wonder wassup with me? Not that no favor but thoughts just come and question.
Daddy, open my eyes. :)

But I realised, since I've stepped in, why not just trust God for qarah? If this isn't something He has for me, what makes me think that this wouldn't be a spring board for me - for my personal growth, my character development and my walk with Dad? Isn't Daddy bigger than anything else? If Daddy can put the earth in the midst of the whole universe, what's my job or mistakes to Him?

His hands aren't so short that it can't help or reach me. His hands aren't too big that He can't manage the small details that I love. Margy, all things work together for good. It will be and is already GOOD.

I've learnt that small things are cool. We don't need many big things.
Daddy, mould me, cut me. Let me shine for YOUR glory; for Jesus' glory only.

Writing this post is like for me to pour out and encourage myself as the Spirit leads me to write. So, yea. haha.

Margy, just rest and let Daddy love you. Just rest.

For those who weren't there, love you too because you are special to Daddy. :)

Daddy, let me see Jesus more and more, more and more. Jesus, favor favor.

Thank You for reminding me that what I give thanks for, is blessed.

Daddy, thank You for relationships that never break, that are Jesus-maintained.

Daddy, thank You for new car and tv. hehe.

Thank You for favor that can never be worked for but can only be received.

Jesus, let there be such a dependence upon You.

Oh ya! I heard that SP did very well during the ultimate frisbee. You guys rock can because Jesus is YOUR Rock. haha. You guys are precious to me. :)

Jesus favors me because HE is good.

You are my Sufficiency.

It's like WOW...

2007-08-24T00:11:00.000+08:00

Wow. It is so amazing. GOD LOVES ME! Wow... Amazing.

Was just talking to a bro and listening to sermon and wow.... God loves me. Jesus is worth more than a ferrari and Daddy gave Jesus up for me. Jesus is worth much more. How much does a ferrari cost? Jesus is worth more than that. With all that money can buy, Jesus is worth more than that and Daddy gave Jesus up for me! It's for me! And for you child of God. It's for YOU! Wow... It's like WOW. haha.

omg. It's like exploding in my heart. Like Wow... haha. Am listening to the sermon by Pastor Prince on 12 August 2007, titled Your Only Battle Today Is The Fight To Remain At Rest.
Everything was finished from the foundation of the world. It is FINISHED. It's so amazing. Like Wow can. haha.
GOD IS FAITHFUL. haha. He is faithful to what Jesus has done. Because Jesus cut the covenant with DaddyGod, today you and I can enjoy ALL the GOOD; DADDY is FAITHFUL to what JESUS HAS DONE. haha.

Daddy, I thank You for favor. I thank You for qarah. I thank You for a fun job whereby I can express the gifts that You have given me. Daddy, thank You for eyes to see beauty in the little things. Daddy, thank You for loving me. Daddy, thank You for being big and making me small so that I can rest on You with all I have. haha. Daddy, thank You that You like to give me surprises. You know Lord, You know. :D

Daddy, thank You for Pastor Prince. Daddy, thank You for awesome men and women of God in my life. Bless them so much more. You know Daddy, You know. :)

God IS Faithful :D He IS.
Daddy, continue to anchor me in Your Word. :)

A word of Encouragement

2007-08-19T00:43:00.000+08:00

Daddy, thanks for being comforting and You did that by sending someone. :)

haha. I wanna share a word of encouragement to CGLs or Ambs who are following up with newcomers and have been inviting them to Arrow or CG. Oh, or maybe you have been inviting your friends as well. hehe.

Today I saw someone that looked like my first CGL. Or maybe it's him! haha. My first CGL was actually Steven. Only attended his CG once though. And the next time I attended was actually after Sean took over.

Could still remember he called me a few times inviting me to CG and Campus. Not sure how many times but I still remember one time, how he called and I was actually out with my ex-boyfriend. Still remember the setting and everything. haha. I was actually near Esplanade with my ex and Steven called. He called to invite me to Campus. And deep in my heart I really really wanted to go. But was with my ex so needed to ask him can go anot.

This part of the story concluded that I didn't go for Campus that week. haha. Didn't go for CG for quite some time as well. But you know what? Till today I can still say that because of his calls, it made a difference to me. I believe he gets to eat of the fruits I'm enjoying as well. :D

It's true that when Daddy wanna bless you, He sends a person. Might be a friend, might be a stranger. Daddy uses a person to touch another.

So yea man. Don't be dishearten just because you aren't really seeing immediate impact/effect on the person you are calling or in contact with because Daddy IS doing something in their hearts. You plant, you water with the Love of God and Daddy would give the increase. And because you are faithful with those whom Daddy put in your hands now, you've made a difference. You would see and eat of the fruits.

haha. Just enjoy and let Jesus love love you. haha.
Daddy IS faithful to lift you up when you are down. :D

hurhur. Jesus is Savior. Jesus is Servant King! woohoo~

New Season...

2007-08-13T17:39:00.000+08:00

haha. It's a new season - new people, new environment. Yet the same Jesus who loves me still - every minute, every second.

haha. I felt insecured. And Daddy is still faithful. :)

Psalm 91:4b (NASB)
... His faithfulness is a shield and bulwark.

Was reading Grace for the Moment by Max Lucado when I woke up. I didn't read the entry for today but started from where the bookmark was. The first one was about the Love of God but what really caught me was the second entry I read. It was for July 17 - God, Your Guardian. haha.

Love this part - "A mother bird sat exposed to the rain, her wing extended over her baby who had fallen out of the nest. The fierce storm prohibited her from returning to the tree, so she covered her child until the wind passed." So beautiful. haha.

Anyway the verse for this entry is
Psalm 91:4a (NKJV)
He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge...

:D One of the first thoughts I had when I read it was, how come the mother bird only got one baby? haha. But it's very beautiful when I thought of it. It's personalised. Even for one sheep, the Good Shepherd would leave the 99 for that one.

Our answer is found at the cross - where Jesus stretched out His hands, having carried all my sins and shame, today HIS glory covers me. And because it is Finished, today He sits down at Daddy's right hand. And where He is, I am. Because Big Eagle would not leave baby eagle outside and go into Daddy's presence alone. He came to bring me in.

If it's not finished, He would not sit down.

Ruth 3:18 (NKJV)
Then she said, "Sit still, my daughter, until you know how the matter will turn out; for the man will not rest until he has concluded the matter this day."

Jesus is THE Man. He will not rest till He has concluded the matter. And because it is FINISHED, He sat down at Daddy's right hand.

If today you are still unsure if Daddy wanna bless you, look to the cross. The cross said it all.

Romans 8:32 (NKJV)
He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?

:D Thank You Jesus. :) For me, You came. :)

haha. I wanted to share about the protection of Jesus that I saw but it kinda changed as I was typing. haha.

It IS Finished! :D

Some sharing - Victory in Your Thought Life, etc

2007-08-10T23:00:00.001+08:00

:) Haven't really been sharing what I've received from Daddy in services, etc and think it's high time to share~ haha.

Not sure where to start. haha. Would share what caught me today when I read Destined to Reign by Pastor Prince. hehe. What caught me was on Page 247, 248 about Victory in Your Thought Life.

Side note: Those in italics are quotations from the book. :) Enjoy~

Pastor has preached about this before but reading it again really refreshes me. It talks about our thoughts being covered by the blood of Jesus that is continually cleansing every thought.

In Songs of Solomon 4:3, the Beloved, a picture of Jesus, said to the Shulamite woman, a picture of the church, "Your temples... are like a piece of pomegranate.".

Quoting from the book:

"The temples are a reference to the head... When you cut a pomegranate in half, you will find that it is filled with white seeds in a beautiful red liquid. When I was in Israel, I was told that the red liquid is very strong - if you get it on your shirt, the stain will be very difficult to remove."

haha. Reading till here, I was reminded of what ZJ shared in his blog the other time about Cleaning up blood; that blood is really difficult to clean up. Or in his own word, It's really hard to wash blood away. haha.

So cool. Daddy really made things around us for us to learn. :) In all His Wisdom, Daddy made man last, that all creation would show forth His wonders and Wisdom. hehe.

I'm so excited to talk can. After the praise & worship session on Wed, my heart has been boiling. Like things are just bursting forth, especially after dinner with CG yesterday. haha. Not sure what is it but surely it's good. :D

And what really caught me from this part of the book is 2 Paragraphs down that talks about 1 John 1:7 that the Greek tense for the word "cleanses" denotes a present and continuous action. In other words, Jesus' blood "keeps continually cleansing". This means that the blood never ceases to cleanse your thoughts. Even right now, your thoughts of guilt and condemnation are being washed away. Angry and lustful thoughts are being washed away. All manner of temptation is being washed away!"

haha. So cool can! I really love the part that says, "Even right now, your thoughts of guilt and condemnation are being washed away." haha.

Ever had struggles trying to overcome that thought/feeling of guilt and condemnation? I have! haha. Trying all I can to confess that I am the righteousness of God in Christ. And yes, it works. I know. It did for me. haha. But it's so powerful when I saw that Hey! Even this thought of guilt and condemnation are being washed away by the blood of Jesus. It doesn't break my fellowship with Daddy. I don't have to feel guilty for having that thought of guilt/condemnation, not being conscious of my righteousness in Christ! haha. My relationship with Daddy is still tight. :D

It's cool man. It's really the power of the Blood. Not just the blood of bulls and goats my friend. It's the blood of the Holy Son of God who Loved, came, died and rose again! Woohoo! He has the power to lay down His life and He has the power to take it again! (John 10:18)

haha. I did continue reading the book after this part but I really felt that this was my manna for today. That even my thoughts are continually being cleansed by the blood of Jesus. hehe. Thank You Lord. Your sacrifice made it all possible. :)

Daddy, continue to bless Pastor much more. :)

haha. I also love what Pastor Peter Youngren shared. What Daddy told him about someone's ministry. I forgot who. Is it T.L Osborn? haha. Pastor Peter was listening to this man of God's messages and what he heard was what he thought was such simple messages and he asked Daddy how come there's so much miracles in his ministry then? And Dad simply said, "he believes what he preaches."

Not sure if that's the exact words but that's what I caught. I love it man. Preaching what you believe and believing what you preach.

Right believing would always lead to right living.

Let it be the Good News of Jesus Christ & Him crucified that I preach because that's the Good News that saves and heals a broken hurting world. :)

Daddy Loves His baby girl. :)

Thank You for today. :)

2007-08-09T01:03:00.000+08:00

=D I had fun today. hehe. I went for praise & worship with the NUS people and I really really enjoyed myself. hehe.

Daddy, thank You for being faithful. Thank You for being there. :)

Daddy, thank You for the Kingdom friendships. haha. Daddy, thank You for all that You've done and all that You are gonna do. hehe. Thanks for making me feel special and loved. :)

Was tired while on the way home but it was such pleasant tiredness. It's sweet to my soul knowing that it's all so beautiful. haha. Love You Daddy. :)

Some knew that I was going through a rough patch. And yes it seemED so tough but Daddy, thanks for being sweet. haha.

Oh YEA! HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE! DaddyGod bless and propser you so much more. And the whole nation shall come to Jesus, Soon. In Jesus' name, amen. hehe.

It's amazing when we choose to just worship Jesus. :)

Jesus take over

2007-07-18T10:20:00.000+08:00

:) The time for restoration has come. :)

Not sure why but yesterday I just cried like a boo-boo baby. It's like the inside all breaking up. Maybe it's the longing of the closeness. Maybe 'cos too long never talk le. Maybe it's just all the bottling up; not sure where to pour it out to.

Daddy, you know how hard I cried. You know how I felt on the inside.

Jesus, take over.

Anyway, my sister (bestie from sec sch) is coming church this Sunday~ haha. :)

Daddy, You know Princess only likes a Prince.

My Days Ahead are Ever Brighter

2007-07-07T23:33:00.000+08:00

Habakkuk 3:17-19 (AMP)

17 Though the fig tree does not blossom and there is no fruit on the vines, [though] the product of the olive fails and the fields yield no food, though the flock is cut off from the fold and there are no cattle in the stalls,

18 Yet I will rejoice in the Lord; I will exult in the [victorious] God of my salvation!

19 The Lord God is my Strength, my personal bravery, and my invincible army; He makes my feet like hinds' feet and will make me to walk [not to stand still in terror, but to walk] and make [spiritual] progress upon my high places [of trouble, suffering, or responsibility]!

For the Chief Musician; with my stringed instruments.

Saw these verses in the bible yesterday. hehe. Just thought that the last verse is very beautiful. Sometimes we feel that in trial we only seem to be getting down or stagnant but it's not true! :) Even when circumstances are like blah~ and it doesn't feel so cool anymore, know that the path of the just is like the shining sun, that shines ever brighter unto the perfect day. (Proverbs 4:18)

haha. Share something with you. :) That day I was taking bus home from work and you know buses in Singapore has specific route. I have been taking bus home since like first day of work; I've been working for like 2.5 months already. But a few days ago I noticed the name of this money charger that is Everbright. :) Reminder that my days are ever brighter! :) Then the next day I went pass there again and I noticed the whole signboard it says - Everbright Money Changer. haha. At that moment, it's just like Daddy telling me, "No matter how things or circumstances change, your days will only get ever brighter." :)

haha. It's cool when we see God in daily life, giving Him thanks for even the little things. :)

The person whom I'm covering has got this calendar that daily there's a verse attached. And yesterday's (Friday) verse was

Acts 14:17 (NIV)
Yet he has not left himself without testimony: He has shown kindness by giving you rain from heaven and crops in their seasons; he provides you with plenty of food and fills your hearts with joy."

Not sure what version was the calendar using but guess it's NIV. haha. Anyway, what I saw was that, "Hey. Even rain shows the goodness of God."

Hmm.. I think that verse is also talking about work/job because if I'm not wrong, I think many of them are farmers in that day and age. Pls correct me if I'm wrong. :) So yeap. It's Daddy who gives the increase. It's Your goodness that has brought me so far.

Yes Lord, it's all undeserved.

GOD loves me.
Let it sink deep.
I receive with both arms & heart wide open.

I humble myself under Your mighty hand that You may exalt me in due time; casting all my cares unto You because You care for me. :)

Hi...

2007-07-02T16:31:00.000+08:00

Daddy, thanks for all the lovely ones You have placed in my life. In times when I'm down, they're there. Might not be many. Might be just 1 or 2 or even more but I know You are behind all these. :) When the going gets tough, the tough goes shopping. haha! Quote from Pastor Prince when one of the testimonies was shared recently. haha.

Daddy, let my life be that which glorifies Jesus, full of thanksgiving and appreciation. Thank You for Your Grace for Now. Not for later because when later comes, it's now again. :)

Daddy, I'm growing; We're growing together. haha.

What really stucked with me recently is to see who Jesus is to me; and to spend time reading His Word.

Yesterday pastor shared different sermon every service. And during the service I'm in, Pastor talked about Law and Grace. What I caught was: Law is who I am to God, while Grace is who God is to me.

Many a times when disappointment struck is because I feel I am not where I think I should be; I haven't hit the mark. Only to realise later that it's not about me, it's all about Him. And it's completely complete.

For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; and you are (I am) complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power. - Colossians 2:9-10

haha. I went YWA CG last Friday and they have decided to go ZOO this weekend! haha. Not sure confirm anot. Still waiting for email. keke. Been wanting to go Zoo. Not as in recent desire but been wanting to go since like 3 years ago? haha. After my Night Safari experience because it wasn't as fun as I thought. But I suppose Zoo would be more fun because all the animals are awake and walking about! In their own boundary of course. haha. Daddy, let Zoo-going be fun and more fun. haha.

New season I'm stepping into. To be real, I wasn't willing to step into it. :) Thoughts like, "I'm growing up too early" kept coming to me. haha. I thought I would love working young but when it really comes, it's like another thingy altogether. Anyway, just an update, my appeal to NTU wasn't successful but I was asked to pray about my studies so think Dad has something on for me. :)

haha. Daddy, let my lips and my words constantly glorfiy You. Let it always be edifying; speaking truth and life to others and to myself. :)

Yes Daddy, Christ is my Favor.

A daily dependence on You. GLORY!

My King Loves me.
Let it sink deep.

"You're Valuable; You're Worth it", Jesus said.

2007-06-25T00:10:00.000+08:00

haha. I was reminded of what Pastor Chin shared yesterday - How Daddy didn't bargain when it comes to redeeming me, redeeming YOU.

Pastor used an illustration of how we would wanna bargain for lets say a dress that originally cost $300. We didn't think that it's all so worth the money and we bargain till $150 (good bargain yea. haha). Then we are willing to pay the $150 because in our eyes, the dress is only worth $150.

But know what?

When it comes to redeeming you and I, Daddy didn't bargain. He didn't ask that an angel would come but He sees that you are worth His Son. When Daddy bruised Jesus on the cross, it pleased Him because He saw the joy on your face.

Every stripe that He borne to ensure that you would live a healthy wholesome life, He deem it pleasing and fulfilling to His heart.

He saw that unbroken relationship, friendship, fellowship, communion that He can have with You.

He saw that He can unceasingly pour His Love on you and to always be on your side. And seeing all these, He said, "It's worth it. Because I love my child so much, it's all worth it."

The pain that God as a Daddy had to bear, Jesus as our Man of God had to bear on the cross, He said that "It's all worth it.". Because He saw you and I.

You are valuable.
You are precious.
You are priceless.
See yourself as so because God Almighty sees you as so.

Let not the words of men devalue you. Let not yourself devalue you.

YOU are valuable. Let Him tell you your worth. :)

I am special; I am called

2007-06-20T22:04:00.000+08:00

I'm the King's princess and my King is coming for me.

:D I love this phrase very much because this was something Daddy told me personally when I was very young. :D He told me my real identity and it made me reign.

I didn't know it was Him. It wasn't a voice but it was just a knowing that broke me from my back then continual self-depreciation and self-pity.

:)

My King loves me and He is well-pleased with me.

2007-05-28T23:49:00.001+08:00

When feelings get boo-boo, will You hold me close and tell me once again how much You love me?

Keep my eyes on You Jesus, when the going gets tough. We shall come out together, stronger. :')

My eyes are upon You

2007-05-10T11:23:00.000+08:00

haha. Baby's taking a lil rest now, being at office early 7.45 this morning. haha. Thank God that it wasn't rushy or anything for the submission today. Daddy, I thank You for specially abundantly loads of favor on the project because You said You would command Your blessings on me, in my storehouses and in all to which I set my hands. :) Thanks Daddy. hehe.

Been some time since I last blogged. There has been things that I wanna share about but sometimes I'm just a lil lazy. =x haha. Daddy, thank You for being faithful. Thank You for abundance. Thank You for You. (:

Was talking to my dad the other day and he told me about his particular favorite barber and his hair cutting experience. As he was talking, I realised something. Because some of the barber he goes to like to comment on the texture of his hair, blah blah. Then he said he's sian of listening to the same thing over again. haha. Then I realised, we don't need people to tell us what's our problem. Yes, there's always room for correction and growing, definately. But I realised also, many a times, knowing our problem or the problem doesn't help because it's the solution/answer we want.

And thank God that Jesus said He is the way, the truth and the life. He is the Way to go. He is the Truth that would set you & I free. He is the life, the zoe life that we all want, that high and abundantly life. And praise Jesus! We have Him!

Jesus, take Your rightful center place in my heart and my life. (:

Selah

Let His Word frame your world

2007-04-29T09:07:00.000+08:00

haha. I feel so set free, knowing that even words form picture of visualisation. Now I know the power of visualisation, the power of confession. Let the Word of God frame your world as you confess His Word.

In Proverbs 18:20-21
20 A man's stomach shall be satisfied from the fruit of his mouth; from the produce of his lips he shall be filled.
21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.

Your words are powerful kingpriest! From the produce of your lips you shall be filled. Even
Hebrews 11:3 says:
By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.

In Genesis, God spoke and He saw that it was good.

Tap into the supernatural ways of God for all the promises are ours through the righteousness of Jesus. HIS finished work is our righteous ground to be blessed and favored everywhere we go because the LORD is with us.

Now reading the bible is so interesting because those aren't mere words but they are the living Word of God that would frame my world. The bible is God-breathe, Holy Spirit inspired. As you and I read, we would experience the zoe-life of God. :)))

God is GoOd

2007-04-20T14:40:00.000+08:00

hehe. Daddy, I love You. We shall continue to write love stories that would be for generations to see. (:

Daddy, You are confirming it. Dreams that We had are coming to pass. Dreams that We talked about You brought back once again to my remembrance by Your Holy Spirit. Jesus, it shall come to pass so fast and the world would see it, in amazement of You and Your awesome finished work.

Daddy, thank You for being Good. Thank You O God that You are good. haha. Jesus, I thank You that Your goodness and mercy surrounds me like a shield and a crown. (: hehe.

Daddy, thank You for placing people in the dept to make me feel at home. Daddy, I thank You that You are constantly providing and You are ever merciful and ever providing. hehe. Daddy, thanks for being faithful to remove the burden and putting in the fun factor. haha. Daddy, let this lips of Yours be such bearer of Good news.

Daddy, boldness. Daddy, favor. Daddy, more of Jesus. (:

Giving thanks to You because YOU are good and YOUR mercy endures forever.
haha. So fun because I was just reading the bible a bit just now and this verse appears. Just like Daddy reminding me again that He is good, ALL the time. haha.

Seeing Jesus, the Author and Finisher of faith. He gave us the ground and the strength to believe and He is the one who carries out the miracle. I love what was shared in the Faith to Faith devotion for today. haha. As I just rest in His presence doing what He impresses me to, Holy Spirit would take over and flavor in the supernatural. (:

Your rejoicing over me is my greatest assurance and strength. (: Jesus IS my Righteousness.

God - THE Good.

hehe. Loves.

After 2 days at work...

2007-04-18T22:09:00.000+08:00

I must say God is good. haha. Work is okay. Though it seems like a lot of stuff to do, it only seems like. Jesus, thank You for being with me. Thank You for loving me. haha.

This is my first office job and can I say I'm not use to wearing what I wore these 2 days? haha. I threw a pair of shoes away today and I walked around wearing semi-formal with slippers! Woohoo! haha. Not very affected by it because I'm not really enjoying what I wore so I couldn't care much anyway. But DaddyGod is good. haha.

I don't really know how to dress-up for office then just now Dad showed me ways to wear what I already have/wore today. haha. I love colors but sometimes colors don't really seem to fit into the office setting. Or should I say I don't really know how to go about doing it? haha! But woohoo! Free to be ME. More to come Creative Director, Handsome Jesus. haha. As Christ is, so am I! As Jesus is creative and full of ideas, so am I! Loves. hehe.

Jesus, We call what We're doing in the office blessed and fun. Somewhere I can learn and impact lives even in the midst of it. Jesus, burden for You, fun for me (okay. Us). haha! Jesus, thank You for a spirit of excellence. Thank You for loving me and being with me.

Favor.
Sealed with Love.

As Christ is, so am I!

2007-04-15T23:05:00.000+08:00

haha. I love what pastor preached today. It was really timely and it's really for me. Daddy confirmed His Word for me. Thanks Dad. (:

I don't know why but yesterday morning when I woke up, I just felt tired or is it drained? Hmm.. I'm not sure of the word to used but I just feel a lil stretched. Like I need a rest (think because I haven't really rest at home the whole week.) This feeling makes me not feel like talking/singing/praying. haha. But I'm not too sure if it's spiritual attack.

Then while walking home from the bus stop last night, I was talking to Dad, asking if it's spiritual attacks. Then it's almost instant that Dad replied, "Can You see Jesus being attacked? You're one with Him. Both of you are on the same level." haha. Immediately I laughed, thinking that it's SO ridiculous/funny that Jesus would be attacked by the wimpy devil. haha.

Then logic came in and said, but it's true that Christians still get attacked spiritually by the devil.

Hmm....

Then today pastor preached about me being as Christ is. We don't need natural circumstances or logic to tell us what we to expect but we put our hope in Jesus.
That the Holy Spirit can only bear witness with the truth because He is the Spirit of Truth. So what's the truth? As Christ is, so are we in the world! haha.

God gave us a blank cheque, all signed with the required Resources all deposited.

1 John 4:17 says,
... as He is, so are we in this world.

But it didn't say as He is what? So I think we can fill in the blank ourselves.

As Christ is ________ , so am I in this world.

haha. Love what I heard again recently. That Jesus is my Passport. Because of Jesus and His finished work, I can enjoy all the fullness of God.

The realisation and the identification of my oneness with Christ. (:
Dad, I rest in Your embrace.

Updatess...

2007-04-13T22:50:00.000+08:00

haha. After my draft suddenly appearing on my Multiply site and me deleting it, I realised that I needed to commit my "time management" to Daddy. And it's so amazing how Daddy actually takes the effort to make sure I am early and that I would not need to rush or even need to take cab to reach wherever I wanna be at a certain time.

I am someone who loves choices because I am very blessed, I have a choice between the humble home with love or a large palace with cold furniture.

I still remember a dream I had some time back. I am someone who always dreamt of living in big houses with long driveways in, with this fountain and a huge garden/grass patch in front of my house. Like this house on this big plot of land, all to myself. haha. Then one night I had this dream of this old man, not that I saw him but I just know a rather old man stays in this big house. And everything in his house is like super sized. Super big comfy cushion. Super big sofa. Big bed, etc etc... You would just now you have stepped into a rich man's place. Yet in that dream, I don't feel the fun or joy. I feel that those furniture are just big but they don't have the love element, that human touch. The old man's sons/daughters, grandsons/granddaughters aren't around to enjoy all these with him. haha. So yeap. Yes, I believe Daddy wanna bless me so much that one big plot of land is no problem man. But lets not rest our confidence and hope in what we have naturally but in Jesus and Him alone.

I like what Dad told me simply about being prosperous and blessed, having the blessings of God... It's either you have it or you don't. You can't work for it. There is no in between nor on the way to having it. And when you have Jesus, you have it. And when you don't have Jesus, you don't have it. No matter how the natural circumstances put it, having Jesus = having it ALL. You can't work to be rich. You can't work to be favored. You can't work to be righteous. You are either rich or you are not. You are either favored or you are not. You are either Righteous or you are not. And when you have Jesus, you have it ALL.

Anyway, back to me who love choices, Daddy showed me that when I choose to go out earlier, I am blessed with the choice to take cab or to take bus/MRT. haha. And I love it this way. I am not forced to take a cab because I'm running late but because Daddy has provided, I have the choice. ((:

And Daddy has been really good at making sure that I'm on time for many times especially for work. Now I want it much more that I would always be early when I meet people as well. (:

That day I was thinking about how I felt the un-peace when I just stubbornly do my own stuff when in me I know it's time to get ready to go out. Then I was thinking why Dad must give the un-peace? Relac a bit lah. haha. Then He just told me, whatever I've committed to Him, He is determined to make it good. Like how it is in Ruth 3:18 "Sit still, my daughter, until you know how the matter will turn out; for the man will not rest until he has concluded the matter this day." haha. When you sit still, the man will not rest.

NASB put it as... "for the man will not rest until he has settled it today." haha. Jesus like my big Brother, my Big Shield (my backing. haha.) would not rest till He ham-tumb the troublemaker in my life, whatever that hinders me from enjoying the High life. haha. Like what pastor lian preached on 1st April, about Daddy's heart for us - how He created/completed everything for us to enjoy and thereby resting with us in all that He created. Yet when adam fell, he forfeited that rest and Daddy had been working ever since then to make sure that our redemption is complete. Not stopping at the blood of bulls and goats but He sent His own Son, making Himself our Redemption.

Daddy, thanks for getting me the job. Daddy, thanks for loving to do things to make me smile. Daddy, thanks for telling me again and again that what I've sowed would not go futile. Daddy, thanks for making the bus come once I reached the bus stop knowing how much I would want a seat, You provided. Daddy, thanks for favor and calmness. Daddy, thanks for correcting and leading. You are my Shepherd and I am the sheepiie of Your pasture. Daddy, thanks for being evident in my life. You work speaks for Your own glory. People would see and can't deny that You are alive. Daddy, thank You for a heart for Jesus.

Daddy, thank You for being You. (:

Daddy taught me a lot of things recently. haha. A life of thanksgiving is a life that flows. haha. Okay. Gonna stop here le because today has been a long day for me and I wanna retreat le. (: Enjoy. More sharing to come. (:

Work not for your righteousness

2007-04-01T12:15:00.000+08:00

Matthew 6:26-28
26 Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?
27 Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?
28 "So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin;

haha. Maybe you have read this portion like countless times but these verses are very beautiful. It's a passage where Jesus ask us not to worry because our heavenly Daddy provides for even the birds, would He not provide for us??

Matthew 10:29-31
29 Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will.
30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
31 Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.

Correct me if I'm wrong but that time when pastor preached that when God numbers, He's actually taking ownership. And immediately I thought of Matthew 10:30 that says even the very hairs of my head are all numbered! haha. That means Daddy also take ownership of my crown of glory, my hair! haha.

Luke 12:6-7
6 "Are not five sparrows sold for two copper coins?[a] And not one of them is forgotten before God. 7 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.

If you were to read the footnote of Luke 12:6 in your NKJV bible, it would tell you that the copper coin there is actually a coin of very small value. Who says God is only concerned about world news? He's interested even in what you deem as/thought is small. (:

What I wanna share is what I saw in
Matthew 6:28 "So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin;

Yes, it's talking about natural clothing. (Don't spiritualise everything. haha. but I believe there's always spiritual truth in what Dad says as well. (:)

What I saw also was, we don't have to work nor worry about our Righteousness! Lilies are white and white speaks of Righteousness! Notice how they grow? They just allow God to clothe them in those robes of righteousness. They neither toil (WORK) nor SPIN. They don't try to weave (spin) their own robes of Righteousness. They simply relax and receive those Robes from God.

This should also be our attitude. We don't work, not as in job but we don't try to do good to be Righteous but we simply receive our Righteousness, Jesus. Jesus IS our Righteousness (1 Corinthians 1:30). He [Jesus] who knew no sin was made sin for us that we might become the righteousness of God in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:21).

I like how NLT puts Romans 4:4-8
4 When people work, their wages are not a gift, but something they have earned.
5 But people are counted as righteous, not because of their work, but because of their faith in God who forgives sinners.
6 David also spoke of this when he described the happiness of those who are declared righteous without working for it:
7 "Oh, what joy for those whose disobedience is forgiven, whose sins are put out of sight.
8 Yes, what joy for those whose record the Lord has cleared of sin." [b]

Oh my! What joy! All our wrongdoings are not recorded anymore! NO MORE. We have this new lease of life and life more abundantly because Jesus died for us!

Romans 5:17 (AMP)
For if because of one man's trespass (lapse, offense) death reigned through that one, much more surely will those who receive [God's] overflowing grace (unmerited favor) and the free gift of righteousness [putting them into right standing with Himself] reign as kings in life through the one Man Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).

Yes, you don't deserve it that's why it's called a gift. That's why God's favor is unmerited, unearned, undeserved. Noone can work for it. Noone can do enough to have HIS favor. Simply receive. (((:

Doesn't the REAL gospel set you free? (:

Margy,
Loved of Jesus, Justified by HIS blood

Anyway, those who recommended NLT (Charis and those in Charis' multiply post), thanks! haha. It's really good. ((: Cheers.

Simplicity makes room for Grace

2007-03-29T14:15:00.000+08:00

Simplicity is greatness because simplicity makes room for grace.

Simply trust and let the Grace of God fill you up.

Margy,
Taste & see that the Lord is good

Simple Truth

2007-03-26T23:02:00.000+08:00

haha. Jesus was persistent, He was serious when He said He loves you. That's why He went to the cross. (:

Champions

2007-03-19T02:15:00.000+08:00

haha. The desire to blog on this post was birth from talking to a secondary school friend.

He was talking about soccer and he's an Arsenal fan. Then he told me that Arsenal is in the 4th place this season, because previously I mentioned Man-U (this is the only club I know and could get the spelling right. haha! anyways, this is not the point. haha.).

He sighed when mentioning that Arsenal's 4th so I told him not to be sad. haha. Then he said something that struck me. He said, "nah. i'm not sad. juz cannot feel the excitement for arsenal being the champ"

Then I thought about how people would be excited when their favourite club gets the championship and how much more would we be excited and happy when we know we are ALREADY champions in Christ. Hey! We are champions. We as children of God are Champions and we can reign in this life!

haha. Praise Jesus for the message pastor preached today/yesterday. hehe. Wanna thank God for Pastor Prince's ministry and his heart for Jesus. ((:

Pastor preached on Romans 5:17, For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.)

Seeing it in Amplified is beautiful...

Romans 5:17 (AMP)
For if because of one man's trespass (lapse, offense) death reigned through that one, much more surely will those who receive [God's] overflowing grace (unmerited favor) and the free gift of righteousness [putting them into right standing with Himself] reign as kings in life through the one Man Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).

Maybe you would ask, "How to reign? I don't feel like I'm conquering; I'm sick, I'm poor." The answer is in the verse itself -

much more surely will those who receive [God's] overflowing grace (unmerited favor) and the free gift of righteousness [putting them into right standing with Himself] reign as kings in life through the one Man Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).

It's for Christians (those who believe in Christ and His finished work) because it is through the one Man Jesus Christ. We can only come to the Father through Jesus.

Wow. Surely this verse is very rich!! Oh my. Please munch on the verse. Emphasis has been added. haha.

It's so coooool! haha. It says SURELY will those who RECEIVE abundance of UNdeserved, UNmerited favor and the FREE Gift of Righteousness (noun) reign as kings through Jesus!
It's not maybe but it is SURELY when you receive and continually receive His abundance of Grace and the Gift of Righteousness (especially when you fall/sin) you would reign in life. You would reign over poverty, over sickness, over your bad habits. YOU WOULD REIGN.

All these circumstances would have no hold on you but you would be free to be a blessing to those around you because YOU have been blessed by God.

God rejoices over you to do you good

'Yes, I will rejoice over them to do them good ... with all My heart and with all My soul.'

He wanna bless you beyond your wildest dreams
1 Corinthians 2:9(NKJV)
But as it is written:
" Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
Nor have entered into the heart of man
The things which God has prepared for those who love Him."

Jeremiah 33:8-9, 16 (NKJV)
8 I will cleanse them from all their iniquity by which they have sinned against Me, and I will pardon all their iniquities by which they have sinned and by which they have transgressed against Me. 9 Then it shall be to Me a name of joy, a praise, and an honor before all nations of the earth, who shall hear all the good that I do to them; they shall fear and tremble for all the goodness and all the prosperity that I provide for it.'

16 In those days Judah will be saved,
And Jerusalem will dwell safely.
And this is the name by which she will be called:
THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.'

Now we can worship our Righteousness, no, not our works or deeds but Jesus is our Righteousness. By Him, we are put into right standing with DaddyGod.

2 Corinthians 5:21 (NKJV)
For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

Wow. Margy makes room for the grace of God. Hope this post has blessed you because it surely did for me. haha. I'm just so excited at the thought of us being able to reign in life just by receiving the two precious gifts - abundance of undeserved favor and the GIFT of Righteousness, again and again. ((:

Righteousness of God,

Down at Your feet

2007-03-17T15:53:00.000+08:00

No Higher Calling
Down at Your feet Oh Lord
Is the most high place
In Your presence Lord
We (I) seek Your face
We (I) seek Your face

There is no higher calling
No greater honor
Than to bow and kneel before Your throne
I'm amazed at Your glory
Embraced by Your mercy
O Lord, I live to worship You

haha. Not sure if I got the lyrics right but yeap. haha. Got this from one of the p&w song sheet I kept. hehe. Love this song. It is very beautiful. haha.

The first few times when I sang/heard this song, I couldn't understand why "Down at Your feet Oh Lord is the most high place". It just doesn't make sense because I thought we are sitting on the throne with God? Why must be at Jesus' feet? So funny. haha.

Then I thought, "Oh ya. It's like a place of humility, that's why at Jesus' feet is the most high place because God gives grace to the humble mah." haha. Now I know this is only part of the answer. haha.

Then by God's grace, the daily devotional of NCC on 14 March 07 answered my "question". haha.

An excerpt from the devotion:

Beloved, Boaz is a picture of Jesus who is our kinsman-redeemer. He is our kinsman, having been born into this world as one like us. And He is our Redeemer because He redeemed us at a great price when He shed His blood for us on the cross... ...

Just as Ruth lay at Boaz’s feet, the feet of Jesus is the place of redemption and blessings. Both Jairus, the synagogue ruler (Mark 5:22), and the Syro-Phoenician woman (Mark 7:25–26), fell at Jesus’ feet. And there at His feet, they received healing for their sick daughters.

When you take your place at Jesus’ feet, looking to Him for help, expect to receive His blessings. There is nothing to fear knowing that as Boaz did for Ruth, Jesus, your heavenly kinsman-redeemer, will do for you all that you have requested!

Oh my. The whole thing is so good leh. When I read it again, I feel like copying the whole thing. haha. Anyway, if you want the whole thingy just leave a message or what yea. Can email it to you. ((((:

haha. Ya loh. When we come to Jesus' presence and take our place at His feet, we're coming under the shadow of His wings. We are coming under His protection, His redeeming power. Like how Ruth told Boaz when she lay at his feet, "...Take your maidservant under your wing, for you are a close relative."

Today Jesus is not only our Big Brother on the throne, He is also our Husband (Isaiah 54:5). It's no more His and Her savings account. It is now Our savings account. You are no more spending from your own savings but you are spending from you and Jesus' joint account. Can He ever run out of money, resources, blessings? NO! So come to Him when you are facing a trouble and expect Him to redeem and to bless because He is mighty to save. Because He is faithful to His finished work. He cannot deny Himself and what He did to redeem and bring you near. (((:

Don't let the grace of God be in vain. Don't let Christ die in vain. Use Him and His service. It takes humility to expect Jesus to serve us and wash our feet (to do things for us).

Selah

Margy, very humbled and loved.

Munching (part 1)

2007-03-17T02:16:00.000+08:00

heh heh. It's talking time!! haha. I'm very happy today and I can't stop rambling on when I talk to DadGod so decided to share it here. Anyway, it has also been some time since I last shared. hehe.

Wanna thank God for Jesus and His finished work.
Wanna thank DadGod for divine appointment (not sure if that's the right word to use but simply Qarah). :)
Wanna thank DadGod for Holy Spirit. haha. Because it's fun having the Holy Spirit with me. Was reading John 16 today and suddenly I just feel so blessed to have the Holy Spirit with me.

hur hur. Thank DadGod that the work of Jesus had brought me into communion with Him and even Jesus Himself found strength in the presence and the communion with DadGod.

John 16:32 (NKJV)
Indeed the hour is coming, yes, has now come, that you will be scattered, each to his own, and will leave Me alone. And yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me.

haha. I love the article that was shared in the solidrock march 2007 magazine, The Passion Of The Christ - Why?.

I feel Daddy is like really increasing my capacity to receive from Him and seeing Him as a Big God who really wanna give. haha. Before I go into that, I wanna share a part of the article that caught me - That dying thief refreshed Jesus' heart when he put himself under the fountain of His blood.

It is so beautiful. To me it is simply so beautiful. When I read this, I just saw myself under this fountain that just keeps flowing and flowing with the ever cleansing power of His blood. That if I ever sin, immediately this blood would wash over me and tell me, "Don't worry. This sin has been paid for by the blood of Jesus. You don't have to be condemned because another has been condemned for you."

haha. I don't know about you but I'm truly grateful that I can enjoy the goodness and blessings of God everyday, even when I blow it or when I sin. No, not because DadGod swept all the sins under the carpet and just acted like nothing happened but because of the finished work of Christ.

Proverbs 16:6 (NKJV)
In mercy and truth atonement is provided for iniquity;
And by the fear of the LORD one departs from evil.

Isaiah 25:1 (NKJV)
O LORD, You are my God.
I will exalt You,
I will praise Your name,
For You have done wonderful things;
Your counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.

haha. Verses to munch on. (:

I love it that we are brought back to remember that our conviction is based on the Word of God that changes not. That we do not go by experiences but really by what the Word of God says. Doesn't that make you wanna search out all the bible promises and what the bible says? It sure does for me. (:

Righteousness of God,
Margy

Law and Grace

2007-03-05T14:03:00.000+08:00

Hehe. I got this on my bus ride home on Friday, after cg supper. Was contemplating whether to share but decided to after some confirmation of it being shared in things I read these few days. haha.

Let Daddy hold my hands and get this typed out for Jesus' glory. (((:

Personally I was thinking on the topic of sin and undeserved favor. haha. We know the verse in Romans 5:20,

Romans 5:20 (AMP)
But then Law came in, [only] to expand and increase the trespass [making it more apparent and exciting opposition]. But where sin increased and abounded, grace (God's unmerited favor) has surpassed it and increased the more and superabounded,

haha. Then the question I post to God is something like,

"I know that where people had done something that seemed so wrong (in the eyes of men), when they are touched with Your undeserved favor [Jesus], they received Him so readily and they are so super transformed and just run with You.

But what about people who started out good/well (in the eyes of men) with You? Would they comprehend and experience the greatness of Your Grace, undeserved favor and no condemnation? And surely You didn't mean sin more to experience much more grace ah."

Then in a spilt second I saw the contrast between the two. The ones in the first category saw the seriousness of their sin (in men's perspective). They had literally came to an end of themselves, knowing they need someone Bigger to really help them get out. ((:

Then came some stuff that I wanna share about. hehe.

If you had really considered Jesus' Word true, if you had read verses and really considered the standard of God, like the one in,

Matthew 5:21-22, 27-28 (NKJV)
21 "You have heard that it was said to those of old, 'You shall not murder,^[a] and whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment.' 22 But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause^[b] shall be in danger of the judgment. And whoever says to his brother, 'Raca!’ shall be in danger of the council. But whoever says, 'You fool!' shall be in danger of hell fire.

27 "You have heard that it was said to those of old,^[a] 'You shall not commit adultery.'^[b] 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.

James 2:10-11 (NKJV)
10 For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all. 11 For He who said, "Do not commit adultery,"^[a] also said, "Do not murder."^[b]Now if you do not commit adultery, but you do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.

WOW! I'm amazed at Daddy! haha. I didn't know the two examples used in James would be adultery and murder! And the verses in Matthew was what Dad pointed out to me when I was flipping through the bible to quote some examples! YIPPIE! It's cool to walk with Him. ((((:

Galatians 3:19, 24-25 (NKJV)
19 What purpose then does the law serve? It was added because of transgressions, till the Seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was appointed through angels by the hand of a mediator.

24 Therefore the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. 25 But after faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.

No wonder in Revelation 3:15 Jesus said "I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold (fully by tablets of stones; Law) or hot (fully by the grace of God)" Brackets added by me.
Because even the Law brings an end to yourself, pointing to Jesus.

you would see and know for yourself that it is a level unattainable by your mere existence. The Law was meant to bring an end to your-self.

haha. Personally I knew God before I came to church. It's amazing how I knew Him but I also understood from the days where I've not attended church (NCC was my first church :)) that a church with excellent teaching that unveils Jesus and His finished work is so IMPORTANT.

haha. Because I still remember the days where I would read the bible, starting from Matthew but I have never read past Matthew because of verses like the ones I quoted above. haha.

Back then I sincerely wanted to follow God but verses like those just stumbled me. And every time when I read those verses, I would close the bible and get back to my sinful lifestyle.

How very grateful am I for the message of grace; the message that unveils Jesus and and HIS finished work, telling me that despite and inspite of all I am still the righteousness of God in Christ because of HIS finished work.

The costly Love that was freely give. Surely I am gloriously redeemed! Bought with a Price and I belong to Him. ((:

----------------------------------------------------

So if the standard that God has is unattainable, His Law is unable ot be fulfilled by ourselves, how can we in a righteous state walk with Him? haha.

Verses time! Quite a few this time. (((: These verses might hurt your flesh a bit (or maybe a lot) but, bear with it yea. It's good! haha. Because it's from the Bible and it glorifies my Hubby Jesus~ (:

Romans 3:19-24, 27-28 (NKJV)
19 Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. 20 Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
21 But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, 22 even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all^[a] who believe. For there is no difference; 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,

27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? Of works? No, but by the law of faith. 28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith apart from the deeds of the law.

Galatians 2:16 (NKJV)
16 knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law; for by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified.

Galatians 3:10-11 (AMP)
10 And all who depend on the Law [who are seeking to be justified by obedience to the Law of rituals] are under a curse and doomed to disappointment and destruction, for it is written in the Scriptures, Cursed (accursed, devoted to destruction, doomed to eternal punishment) be everyone who does not continue to abide (live and remain) by all the precepts and commands written in the Book of the Law and to practice them.^(A)

11 Now it is evident that no person is justified (declared righteous and brought into right standing with God) through the Law, for the Scripture says, The man in right standing with God [the just, the righteous] shall live by and out of faith and he who through and by faith is declared righteous and in right standing with God shall live.^(B)

Sad. Very sad. You can do all you want and TRY to get right with God by your deeds but you can NEVER be. Because Righteousness is a Person. Righteousness is Jesus and you are IN Him [Righteous Jesus], if You are a child of God.

1 Corinthians 1:30-31 (NKJV)
30 But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God—and righteousness and sanctification and redemption— 31 that, as it is written, "He who glories, let him glory in the LORD."^[a]

Jesus didn't hang there 6 hours on the cross and cursed (for it is written, "cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree) for nothing. He didn't get scourged and humiliated and shamed so that YOU can work your way through to the throne of God. By the way, God is sitting on the throne of UNdeserved favor [grace]. You can't deserve your way there. Let not the Grace of God be in vain. ((:

Romans 5:17 (NKJV)
17 For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.)

haha. So yeap. Lets just come to an end of ourselves and freely receive the GIFT of Righteousness. It takes humility to receive this gift and Daddy says He gives Grace to the HUMBLE (see 1 Peter 5:6-7)~ haha.

Okay. Gotta go buy food for terrapins already. Feel like haven't really share finish but yeap. Shall stop here for now. ((:

Shalom~

((((((: Margy again says YES to Your Love and Your care. NO to forms and rituals.
You are who I need. It's no more even a "what" but it's a "who".
And YOUR hands fit well with mine. (((: We belong together. (((:

Only You satisfy. Only You would love when all seems dull. Only You hold on when no one cared. hehe. Because YOU are the One who loved and came and is risen forevermore. ((((:

My experiences in life might not be unique to myself but I truly believe I AM gloriously saved and redeemed.

Margy don't believe in coincidence and so do Daddy! haha. The first post that caught my eyes talked about spending time with God. The first devotion I read just now was talking about having communion with God. The second devotion I read talks about walking with God. haha. Is that coincidence? I don't believe it is because I have a GOD who LOVES me. (((:

Daddy, margy needs You and my Soul knows very well. Because only Jesus satisfies. When the lights are off, You still shine because You are the LIGHT of the world. When all seems boring and dull, You are still excited because You are fun & joy personified.

Jesus, let Your presence overwhelm me. Let Your love songs be my daily bread. haha. Not sure what to put. hehe.

Jesus, Your romance makes my heart beat faster. Your love secures me. You told me I don't have to feel insecure because I am in-the-Secured. (((: Jesus, You are my Lover, You are my Husband; our Spirit are One.

My natural eyes might not see You but We are One in Daddy's eyes. We are Husband and wife. We are Shepherd and sheep. You are Driver, I am passenger. You are Love, I am the loved. (((((:

Only YOU can truly put a smile on my face, and my heart. (((((: Only YOUR presence can satisfy.

Daddy, let it accelerate~~~ hehe.

Loves,
MuchLoved of Jesus. ((((:

He offered up Himself

2007-02-11T00:12:00.000+08:00

haha. Not sure what to put for title but yeap. That verse caught my eye. :))

Wasn't feeling too cool these few days and especially today but praise God at least I know what happened. haha. I was worrying. lols.

And today I see and realised what pastor preached about worrying is so true/real. Like many times when a quarrel happens between husband and wife (not for my case though. haha.) it's often not because there's really a problem but because one of the hearts is cluttered with worries.

And yes, my dad got it. I didn't quarrel with him but I just refused to be nice to him. lols. Nearly quarrelled with my mum over some matter but decided to just shut my mouth after awhile. heh heh.

Anyway, enough said. haha. Decided to let Jesus wash wash my feet by His Word, by His Spirit. :))

I love what pastor preached today. Would just share something simple that I caught and realised. In Your light, we see light. :))

Romans 4:13-15
13 For the promise that he would be the heir of the world was not to Abraham or to his seed through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
14 For if those who are of the law are heirs, faith is made void and the promise made of no effect,
15 because the law brings about wrath; for where there is no law there is no transgression.

haha. Pastor preached about our righteousness is by faith, amen! hehe. Today pastor talked about verse 15. He shared that when we THINK that God is angry with us, we would not be able to inherit the world. Sin consciousness just wouldn't help.

Ever thought what does it means to feel condemned? Maybe you all know already because all of us are so well-taught and fed. But what I saw was that, when I feel condemned, it means that I THINK that DaddyGod is angry with me and He is disappointed with what I did.

But in actual fact, He isn't~ Because Jesus had paid it all. Jesus had paid the price for those who had fallen short of the mark. That's why on the cross He said "It is finished!"

It's very interesting because I went to check up the word finished and in the greek, it is Teleo (G5055). I love how it is explained in the e-Sword because it is simple and sweet.

G5055 τελέω teleō
tel-eh'-o
From G5056; to end, that is, complete, execute, conclude, discharge (a debt): - accomplish, make an end, expire, fill up, finish, go over, pay, perform.

Now I understand why pastor always use paying a debt as the example for how Jesus' work on the cross is like. Jesus is the Person who paid the debt for us and He is also the Payment that was paid. haha.

Hebrews 7:26-27
26 For such a High Priest was fitting for us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and has become higher than the heavens;
27 who does not need daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the people's, for this He did once for all when He offered up Himself.

:))

margy, let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Rocher with Love, from Dad.

2007-02-09T02:23:00.000+08:00

lols. The pic is so cool because if you look carefully, you would see a heart shape due to the reflection of the light, with a cross in the middle. :))

Amazing right? This was the pic I got after I told Daddy to make sure I get a beautiful pic. haha.

Daddy's good because I saw rocher at 7-Eleven just now but I didn't buy. Then when my mama got home, she placed this box of rocher on the table!! Woohoo~ And I love ferrero rocher. haha.

I love what pastor preached today. There were things that were like confirmation and I really love it when pastor shared that our lives are lived for the glorification of Christ. We live not for ourselves no more but now we live for Christ, for Jesus' glory. Woohoo~

2 Corinthians 5:14-15
14 For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died;
15 and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again.

Okay. Need to go eat some stuff le. Hungry. I'll be back~ haha!

margy rest margy, in the embrace of your loving Savior.

Simple things that make simple Me smile

2007-02-08T01:10:00.000+08:00

haha. Smile. I feel a smile in my heart, a smile on my face. haha. One touch of Jesus can make me smile. :)) It's really not what I do but Daddy just managed to put that smile on my face when I least expected it. haha.

I don't know what I have been feeling recently and I also don't wanna care. lols. It's kinda mind-bothering (did I get this right? haha. anyways.) to figure out everything. haha.

haha. Daddy showed me simple things like, religiosity wouldn't help us inherit His promises and blessings. haha. By grace we had been saved through faith. haha. When I read that just now, suddenly I thought like, "Hmm.. Faith seems like just a door we need to walk through."

Faith is like a door we walk through. It doesn't make things happen if I can put it this way but it's already done. Faith just let us get to the place where the blessings already are. haha. (Daddy help me say it better) It's like, the room is already filled with all the blessings and promises (by grace) and when you believe Daddy (have faith), you simply walk through the door, into the room of blessings.

Our faith didn't make God do things for us. It's already done. :))

Was listening to sermons by Jackie Pullinger . She shared a lot of really good stuff but what stayed with me was that,
"God didn't wait for me to change. He came and died for me."

It is so beautiful. Really. Once again I saw the Love of Daddy for me. Jesus believed the Best of me when He hung there on the cross. He knew that I would come home one day. He just believed the best of me. He did and He still does.

Jesus believes the best of you too. You don't have to prove yourself to Him. He really believe the best of you. He has seen the worst of you (and much more of me) yet He still loves us. He didn't wait for me to change. He believe me to the end of time. haha. And He believes in you too. Loves~

*Big smile* Margy feels loved. :))

haha. I wanna be who Daddy made me to be. I don't wanna live under the shadow of someone else. I wanna live the life that DaddyGod wrote for me. The journey where there's only me and Him. hehe.

Daddy showed me something very beautiful also. Because Multiply is a great place (free publicity. haha), I get to read really great posts sharing bout Jesus and yeap. That day I added a sister who I don't know yet. haha. Yet when I was leaving a message for her, I called her sis~ Then I saw it.

It doesn't matter if I know the person or if I have met him/her face to face but because of Jesus, because he/she is in Christ, we are a FAMILY. Where colors and language don't matter anymore. Where only Jesus is the center of our lives. Because Jesus came and died for us we are a family. haha. Beautiful right. At least it is to me. lols.

haha. Okay. Had fun.

My God loves me.
And He loves you too. ((:

Margy~ loved by Jesus.

Happiness is where You are.
And You are always here with me. :))

Prayer of A Righteous Man Avails Much

2007-02-03T13:10:00.001+08:00

Hey Righteous beloveds! haha. Pray and trust God with me for my family's salvation yea. Because the prayer of a righteous man avails much! haha.

Even A righteous man's prayer avails much~ How much more when we come together and agree? haha.

James 5:16b (NKJV)
The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.

James 5:16b (MSG)
The prayer of a person living right with God is something powerful to be reckoned with.

James 5:16b (NASB)
The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much.

haha. Praise Jesus. Because of His finished work, I am righteous and because of His blood, when I call, Daddy answers! All because of Jesus! haha.

haha. You know I used to think that, "Oh~ If I've prayed and asked God for my family's salvation, I must be actively trying to invite my parents to church. If not me, who will?" lols.
No, there's nothing wrong with you inviting your parents and friends to church but for me, I feel it's a wrong spirit that I carried when I asked them. And recently I realised, even when I don't do anything outwardly, my prayer avails much.

If you look at James 5:15, it's beautiful. Only saw it just now. :)

James 5:15 (NKJV)
And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.

haha. What I saw was that I only need to pray a prayer of faith [having a good opinion of Daddy, knowing that He listens and would do it when I pray] and yes! He would go into action, do it and make it good. haha.

Psalm 31:22 (NKJV)
For I said in my haste, "I am cut off from before Your eyes"; Nevertheless You heard the voice of my supplications when I cried out to You.

Even our faithlessness would not make Daddy turn away from hearing us. :)

Lets enjoy the undeserved favor and love of Daddy. He would really do something about what you prayed for. Rest and let Him lead you. :)

When you don't know what or how, always say a prayer. :)

margy Rest~

Those Who Trust in Daddy Would Not be Put to Shame

2007-01-25T22:31:00.000+08:00

I'm gonna share something very real, at least for me. haha.

Okay. What happened is this. My friend sent me some stuff about an upcoming test. She was nice in some sense but I just felt like it's not ethical? haha. And yes, I've decided not to open the stuff she sent me because I've decided to trust DaddyGod.

Nothing and noone would stand a chance to get the glory and praises for my excellent grades. No, not even myself or my revision but Daddy alone. haha. :)

Then when I was in the shower, I caught this revelation and because I just felt so convicted, in me I just went, "Yes! Amen!", telling myself that I would surely blog about this because Yes! I believe it.

But you know what? Once I stepped out of my shower, into my room and sms-ed my friend about my trust in Daddy, I started to waver le. Thinking it's kind of foolish! haha.

You know once I've decided to trust Daddy, this thought just came, "WHAT IF you never do well when you trust Him?"

haha. You know sometimes we say that, "Okay I'll trust Daddy." Then we'll say, "Even if it turns out bad, it's okay." haha. Were you like this? I was. haha. But right there and there, JESUS IS FAITHFUL! haha. He told me, "those who put their trust in Me would not be put to shame!" Hallelujah! haha.

Psalm 22:6-8
6 But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised by the people.
7 All those who see Me ridicule Me; they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,
8 "He trusted in the LORD, let Him rescue Him; Let Him deliver Him, since He delights in Him!"

At the cross, Jesus was ridiculed by people for His trust in DaddyGod so that today I would not be ridiculed anymore! Daddy would ALWAYS come thru/true for me! And I say ALWAYS!!

Isaiah 54:4-5
4 " Do not fear, for you will not be ashamed; neither be disgraced, for you will not be put to shame; for you will forget the shame of your youth, and will not remember the reproach of your widowhood anymore.
5 For your Maker is your husband, The LORD of hosts is His name; and your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel; He is called the God of the whole earth.

haha. No more a widow because I now have a Husband who takes care of me. And His name is JESUS! He is my Redeemer, He is the God of the WHOLE earth! haha.

I don't need to watch my own back. I don't need to fear that what I trusted God for would not come to past because the Word of God says I would not be ashamed! Hallelujah!

haha. Not only did Jesus made me, He romances me as well. *shy* haha.

I love what Clara shared on her blog about the bamboo story. The part where God says, "Give Me glory by rising as high as you can."

This is so beautiful because Daddy really want us to live an abundant life! When your life is blessed, not small you or me is glorified but JESUS, DADDY would be glorified! Hallelujah!

John 15:7-8
7 If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.
8 By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.

By this, Daddy is glorified. By what? By you bearing MUCH fruit. Not many but much! Cannot be counted! haha.

Hey, Daddy really loves us leh. Look at the next verse:

John 16:24
Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.

Who says God is selfish?! haha. Okay. Nobody. lols. He wants YOU to be happy! haha.

2 Corinthians 1:20
For all the promises of God in Him [Christ] are Yes, and in Him [Christ] Amen, to the glory of God through us.

Woohoo!! Daddy, bless my life A LOT A LOT! haha. And let Your name be glorified through my life. People would see and know that FOR SURE Jesus is in my life. :D

haha. Okay. Had fun. Shalom people.

Jesus loves YOU.
Jesus loves margy. :D

Beauty of Praise

2007-01-25T18:06:00.000+08:00

There is power in Praise. haha. There is restoration in praise. :D

Zechariah 9:11-13 (NKJV)
11 " As for you also, because of the blood of your covenant, I will set your prisoners free from the waterless pit.
12 Return to the stronghold, you prisoners of hope. Even today I declare that I will restore double to you.
13 For I have bent Judah, My bow, fitted the bow with Ephraim, and raised up your sons, O Zion, against your sons, O Greece, and made you like the sword of a mighty man."

Zechariah 9:11-13 (MSG)
11-13"And you, because of my blood covenant with you, I'll release your prisoners from their hopeless cells. Come home, hope-filled prisoners! This very day I'm declaring a double bonus - everything you lost returned twice-over! Judah is now my weapon, the bow I'll pull, setting Ephraim as an arrow to the string. I'll wake up your sons, O Zion, to counter your sons, O Greece. From now on people are my swords."

haha. Lets look at the meaning of Judah and Ephraim! keke.

Judah = Y@huwdah (03063) = "praised"

The word origin of Y@huwdah is Yadah (03034) =

1. to throw, shoot, cast
(a)(Qal) to shoot (arrows)
(b)(Piel) to cast, cast down, throw down
(c) (Hiphil)
- to give thanks,, laud, praise
- to confess, confess (the name of God)
(d) (Hithpael)
- to confess (sin)
- to give thanks

Don't know why but just feel like putting the meaning of the word origin down. :D

Ephraim = 'Ephrayim (0669) = "double ash-heap: I shall be doubly fruitful"

As you praise (Judah), you are allowing Daddy to shoot double-fruitfulness (Ephraim) into YOUR life. haha.

Wanna draw your attention to Zechariah 9:11

Zechariah 9:11 (NKJV)
11 " As for you also, because of the blood of your covenant, I will set your prisoners free from the waterless pit.

haha. Because of the blood of Jesus, because Jesus was glorified, you are freed from the waterless pit! What does it mean?

John 7:37-39 (KJV)
37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
38 He that believeth on me [Jesus], as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)

Back then, the Spirit was not yet given because Jesus was not yet glorified. But now that Jesus is risen, glorified and sitting at Daddy's right hand, the Spirit is given to anyone who BELIEVES!

When you believe in Jesus, the Holy Spirit is Resident in you. But when you are baptised in the Holy Spirit [praying in tongues], Holy Spirit is President over you. :)
Rivers of Living Water would flow out of your belly. And where the living water is, there is no death! haha.

Side track:
The spines of cactus are actually its leaves but due to insufficient water, it envolved and became like thorns to defend itself against water-seeking animals and allowing less water to evaporate. And we know that thorns are actually a symbol of the curse. Thorns was only mentioned after Adam fell.

As you water your life with the rivers of living water, praying in tongues, there shall be no more curse in your life. :D

haha. So, release the riverS of living water yea. As you pray, Daddy works. As you praise, Daddy does wonders. :)) haha. Enjoy.

Blessed.

Brook Besor - inheritance in preaching

2007-01-23T11:39:00.000+08:00

haha! Praise Jesus! It's true that as you preach the gospel, you would live off the gospel. hehe.

Lets look at the word Brook Besor in the Hebrew! :D

Brook (05158) - Nachal meaning:

1. torrent, valley, wadi, torrent-valley
(a) torrent
(b) torrent-valley, wadi (as stream bed)
(c) shaft (of mine)
2. palm-tree
(a) meaning dubious

Not interesting enough? haha. Look at the word origin:

also Nachal (05157) meaning:

1. to get as a possession, acquire, inherit, possess
(a) (Qal)
- to take possession, inherit
- to have or get as a possession or property (fig.)
- to divide the land for a possession
- to acquire (testimonies) (fig.)
(b) (Piel) to divide for a possession
(c) (Hithpael) to possess oneself of
(d) (Hiphil)
- to give as a possession
- to cause to inherit, give as an inheritance
(e) (Hophal) to be allotted, be made to possess

Besor (01308) - B@sowr = "cheerful"

And the word origin is Basar (01319) meaning:

(a) (Piel)
- to gladden with good news

- to announce (salvation) as good news, preach
(b) (Hithpael) to receive good news

haha. When you put them together, you get:
You get as a possession, acquire, inherit, possess when you bear news, bear tidings, publish, preach, show forth! haha.

haha. Interesting leh. Got publish also. Means when you publish your blog post about Jesus and His inheritance for you, you're also preaching! (haha! my own logic). keke.

Enjoy Beloved!
Jesus Loves You dearly.

Margy - Jesus' baby.

My Faithful Dad. :D

2007-01-20T15:45:00.000+08:00

haha. Praise Jesus for His faithfulness. :D

I just had my Business Development final presentation and Daddy is SO faithful. Daddy really made me look so great and yeap, it's really Him! All glory to Jesus. haha.

I was like so nervous and stress on Thursday and so was I yesterday but yesterday was much better than Thursday. It really feels so good to be in the house of God, to just listen to the Word and Love of Jesus, let Jesus wash my feet, when you have nowhere to run to. haha.

And yes! Daddy is faithful. haha. I didn't even prepare much. Yesterday when I was home, I just looked through the slides and prepared for only 1 slide. Though I really felt like getting prepared for ALL the slides, I just know that I should head to bed. haha.

And yes, I kinda went to the presentation room not very prepared yet Daddy made me look so good leh. He made me calm! So cool!!! haha. Praise You Jesus! :D

He has always been so faithful whenever it comes to my presentation and I love Him for that. haha. I mean my faith was so small yet Papa is faithful when I just ask Him to take care of it. haha.

2 Timothy 2:13
If we are faithless, He remains faithful; He cannot deny Himself.

I really wanna see more of Papa's love for me and I would REST when I just hand over my problems and every areas of my life to Him. haha.

Loves Dad.
You ARE good and You always has been and will be. :D

Simply Beautiful. haha.

2007-01-19T01:49:00.000+08:00

Hebrews 7:22
by so much more Jesus has become a surety of a better covenant.

haha. I didn't know exactly what surety is so I went to check the online dictionary as well as the greek word for it.

In Greek, surety there is Egguos which means a surety, a sponsor. haha. Interesting yea. haha. Jesus is the surety, the SPONSOR of a BETTER covenant. haha.
He is the one who paid for it and make sure all things run well. :D

In English, surety means:

1. security against loss or damage or for the fulfillment of an obligation, the payment of a debt, etc.; a pledge, guaranty, or bond.
2. a person who has made himself or herself responsible for another, as a sponsor, godparent, or bondsman.
3. the state or quality of being sure.
4. Certainty.
5. something that makes sure; ground of confidence or safety.
6. a person who is legally responsible for the debt, default, or delinquency of another.
7. assurance, esp. self-assurance.

haha. Jesus came to pay a debt that you and I couldn't pay.

Acts 13:38-39
38 "Therefore let it be known to you, brethren, that through this Man is preached to you the forgiveness of sins;
39 "and by Him everyone who believes is justified from all things from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.

2 Corinthians 5:19, 21
19 ... God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them ...
21 For He made Him [Jesus Christ] who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him [Christ Jesus].

Romans 4:25
who [Jesus] was delivered up because of our offenses, and was raised because of our justification.

haha. Isn't it beautiful? That is all because of us that Jesus came and did so much. And He is risen again! To make sure that we are justified and not only that but also to make sure that all that He died to provide us with, we get~ :D Loves.

Hebrews 7:26
26 For such a High Priest was fitting for us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners....

haha. The rest of the verse is very beautiful but I wanna catch your attention to the bold part. It is SO beautiful leh. Daddy really wants the best for us. He feels that nothing else was good enough for us except His Dear Darling Son. It was for US leh. Put your own name there~ Not to put a feather on your hat and making yourself so great and worthy but it just shows the Father's heart of wanting nothing but the BEST for us! That's why He gave HIS Son.

I received all these by the undeserved favor of Daddy.

Romans 5:17
... much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.)

Notice you receive abundance of undeserved favor first then the gift of righteousness? The gift that comes from the sacrifice of the Lamb.

Okay cool. haha. Gonna go Rest. :D

Jesus satisfies me. Loves. :D

:)

2007-01-14T09:24:00.000+08:00

Yes Lord, this year is a year of new beginnings. There shall be new expectations, expectations of dreams fulfilled. :D

Yes Daddy, We will run not looking at the finishing line but at the finishED work of Jesus; looking at the cross, where Your love was expressed for me.

haha. And yes Daddy, the race ain't over yet even when I fall because where sin abounds, grace SUPER abounds. :D

2 Timothy 2:13 (Amplified)
If we are faithless [do not believe and are untrue to Him], He remains true (faithful to His Word and His righteous character), for He cannot deny Himself.

haha. And all that Daddy had promised, He would bring it to past. Because He is a faithful God; a dependable, reliable and trusthworthy God. :D

1 Corinthians 1:9 (Amplified)
God is faithful (reliable, trustworthy, and therefore ever true to His promise, and He can be depended on); by Him you were called into companionship and participation with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

haha. Jesus loves me this I know, for the bible tells me so. :D

Margy - blessed to be a blessing~

Psalm 35:27

2007-01-03T17:46:00.000+08:00

"Let those who favor my righteous cause and have pleasure in my uprightness shout for joy and be glad, and say continually, Let the Lord be magnified, Who takes pleasure in the prosperity of His servant." (Psalm 35:27, Amp)

------

If traditional religion has taught you that God wants you poor and oppressed, I have good news for you today. The Bible says, "God takes pleasure" in your prosperity.

God wants you to prosper! Not just in the financial realm but in every area of your life...spirit, soul, and body.

-Extract from [Faith to Faith] Kenneth Copeland Ministries, emphasis added.

haha. Yes. It is Daddy's pleasure to see you prosperous. And if you still think prosperity there is only talking about financial wise, allow me show you a clearer picture~ hehe.

Psalm 35:27 (NAS Strong's Version)
Let them shout for joy and rejoice, who favor my vindication; And let them say continually, "The LORD be magnified, Who delights in the prosperity of His servant."

Prosperity = Shalowm (H07965)

completeness, soundness, welfare, peace
(a) completeness (in number)
(b) safety, soundness (in body)
(c) welfare, health, prosperity
(d) peace, quiet, tranquillity, contentment
(e) peace, friendship:: of human relationships, with God especially in covenant relationship (f) peace (from war)
(g) peace (as adjective)

haha. Looks familiar? Prosperity there is actually Shalom in hebrew. Nothing missing, nothing broken. Daddy has pleasure in you having nothing missing, nothing broken, with peace (Rest) on every side.

No, you don't have to work to get this peace because it is paid and made possible by Jesus' sacrifice.

Don't worry yea. Jesus promised to take care of you.
Rest easy. :D

It is FINISHED

2007-01-03T14:58:00.000+08:00

haha. Yes Daddy. It is a complete work. It's not going to be complete. It is already completed! hehe. I am not going to possess my land I am in the land. I am not going to be righteous, I am already righteous in Christ.

When Jesus said, "It is finished!", it is finished! haha. Not going to be finished. It is finished. Already healed, already blessed, already healthy, already prosperous. Family salvation is already here. Already sitting at Daddy's right hand. Already serving in the house of God. All is done. All is finished! haha.

Have you ever confessed scriptures and not feel satisfied? That's what I experienced this morning. There just wasn't this rest in my spirit. I felt tossed to and fro. Then suddenly I realised, I am not going to possess the promised land. I am already in the promised land. It is not a going to process. It is a done deal!

Daddy, let me grow more and more in this revelation.

Beloveds are already made righteous (2 Corinthians 5:21 haha. The one in MSG is cute).
Already reconciled to DaddyGod through Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 5:18).
Already brought near by the blood of Christ (Ephesians 2:13).
Already healed by Jesus' stripes (Isaiah 53:5, 1 Peter 2:24).
Already rich because at the cross Jesus was made poor (2 Corinthians 8:9).
Already justified freely by Daddy's grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus (Romans 3:24).
Already forgiven by God in Christ. (Ephesians 4:32 ... forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you)

haha. There's a lot more but yeap! It's a done deal. haha. Yes, we're walking a journey, transformed day by day into His image more and more. But you know what? In Daddy's eyes, you are completely complete. You are a finished masterpiece. Daddy is not confined by time but Daddy sees the beginning from the end. Even in Psalm 139:16 it show us a glimpse.

Psalm 139:16
Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, the days fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them.

Ephesians 1:4
just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love,

haha. It is not meekness when you act like God hasn't blessed you. Because it is completely complete. We might not see it in the natural yet but it's there! It has been purchased already. We don't have to claim it because it has been freely given to us because of Jesus!

Romans 8:32
He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?

haha. See! lols. Yes yes! Daddy it is finished! Oh ya! reminded of Revelation 16:17 ... "It is done!"
When Jesus had suffered it all at the cross, DaddyGod said, "It is done!". "All the wrath has been poured out. And now I can righteously bless My children."

Beloved, you wouldn't have the settled peace until you know that it is finished, no more wrath, victor is won and Jesus is an overpayment for all our sins!

Not only are we now without sin, we are righteous and blessed! Not in and of ourselves, not by what we do, but because of Jesus, our overpayment for sin. Our Deliverer, our Kinsman Redeemer, our Husband, our Lover, our Provider, our Giver, our Gift. haha.

If you have the sermon:: 2 Key Principles To Inherit God's Blessings, go listen to it. Pastor talked about the Hebrew language where there is no future tense.

Anyway, if you wanna know what the 2 key principles are, go listen! haha. Wanted to say it here but I feel it's more blessed when you listen to the sermon yourself and let Daddy enlighten your eyes. :D

Okay. Enough said.
Daddy, I thank You that You show me more and more each day. :D

Thanksgiving and Sharing

2007-01-02T11:43:00.000+08:00

haha. Yes yes. It's time to share. Need an outflow, need an outflow. Who doesn't need one when Daddy has been graciously pouring into me. haha.

I realised I miss talking about Jesus and just sharing about Him, even with beloveds. So yeap. Here to flow flow flow. haha.

2006 has been a great year. A year where I learn and understand the things of Daddy and 2007 shall be a greater year! haha. Daddy has been good and He will continue to be good. He has confirmed things with me through the preaching of Pastor and that's cool when Dad says things and later it has been confirmed. haha.

Yes Daddy. 2007 shall be a year of Double portion as I Rest. Not only double portion quantity but this double portion comes with Quality! :D A year of greater manifestation of Your glory and goodness. haha. And yes Daddy, and a lot more. Loves. :D

Looking back to 2006, it has indeed been a great year. When I got laid hands upon in HM6ix, one of the leaders said that the journey I took with Jesus has been precious. Indeed it touched my heart when I heard that but I didn't think much about it after that.

But a few days ago as I was thinking about 2006 and giving thanks for all that Dad had done in me and through me, Daddy just open my eyes and made me realised that the journey indeed has been precious, to me and of course to Him. :D

I wanna thank DaddyGod for accelerated relationship with my dad. I wanna thank DaddyGod for a harmonious and loving family. I wanna thank DaddyGod for opening my eyes to the preciousness of relationships. That indeed relationships are eternal and things can't satisfy; material things can't replace these relationships.

2006 has been a year where I learn to humble myself, with Daddy's help. haha. To love correction and Daddy has been good to opening my eyes to see the beauty and love in correction. haha. It might be painful for the flesh but surely it is out of love corrections come, from leaders, from Dad.

HM6ix is indeed wonderful. All the impartation, opening of eyes to see more of Jesus' heart for me. haha. On one cab ride home with a bro, I suddenly realised out of the overflow of Dad, that Daddy loved me so much to prepare me in 2006 for greater things to come.

Because He would not want things to overwhelm me. That's why He wanna establish me in Him, my heart in Him, before greater blessings (especially material blessings) comes. haha. I mean if Dad was to give me A million buck without preparing me and giving me the wisdom to handle the money, I would tell you it's surely not out of love He has given. So yea Dad, let me grow more and more in You and Your Love. :D

haha. Pastor said that year 2007 would be a year where we would realise we have lived simpler but our lives would be more blessed than before. haha. A year of Double portion as we Rest (inwardly, casting all our cares to Daddy as He cares for us).

haha. Yes indeed to rest but Pastor also said, rest doesn't mean you don't plan but as you plan, don't worry. When it starts to worry you, cast it to Daddy. haha.

Maybe in the first place you should have given it to Him and not try to solve it yourself? hehe. Yes Dad, 2007 a year where YOU increase while i decrease. :D

Pastor shared that humility isn't a posture outwardly but it's a posture inwardly. The reliance on Daddy, knowing that He CAN and He WILL. haha.

Oh my. I think I've got a lot to say leh. Daddy, keep me accurate. haha.

Start to see Daddy as a gentle and good God. Jesus, our gentle Shepherd. hehe. It's very amazing because yesterday and today, I read 2 verses about gentleness of Daddy Jesus. :D

Isaiah 40:10-11
10 Behold, the Lord GOD shall come with a strong hand, and His arm shall rule for Him; behold, His reward is with Him, and His work before Him.
11 He will feed His flock like a shepherd; He will gather the lambs with His arm, and carry them in His bosom, and gently lead those who are with young.

haha. In the midst of His majesty and glory, He is a gentle Shepherd that leads and love with gentleness. haha. Another verse is also very beautiful. hehe.

2 Samuel 22:36-37
36 "You have also given me the shield of Your salvation; Your gentleness has made me great.
37 You enlarged my path under me; so my feet did not slip.

haha. There is a Hope! haha. You ain't walking on narrow path! haha. Daddy ENLARGED your path under you; so that you feet would not slip. :D

Anyway, that was David talking, praise God for deliverance from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul. haha. Amazing! Found something. haha.

Reading 2 Samuel 22:1 ... the LORD had delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul.

haha! AMAZING! haha. I was thinking wassup with Saul. Yes we all know he is like mad monster wanna hunt David down. But anyway, I went to check out the meaning of Saul:

Sha'uwl (Strong number 07586) - Saul or Shaul = "desired"

Then I thought, "Okay, maybe I think too much. Maybe he's just one of the like more prominent enemy of David." Then you know what? Daddy is good!! haha. As I went to check under the word origin, it says, pass part of Sha'al (07592).

And Sha'al (07592) means - to ask, enquire, borrow, beg

Hand there is Kaph (3709) which means palm, hand, etc. haha. But the word origin is Kaphaph (3721)

And meaning of Kaphaph is::

to bend, bend down, bow down, be bent, be bowed
(Qal) to bend down, bow down
(Niphal) to bow oneself down

haha. The Beloved is delivered from the oppression of having to beg and borrow! haha. We shall lend to many nations but we shall not borrow. Amen. :D

haha. Anyway, anyone know wassup with Qal, Niphal, Piel, Hiphil, etc in the Hebrew language? Can teach me? Thanks. :D

haha. Think I'll stop here. Gonna go lunch and yeap. This is getting a bit long. haha. More to come with all these sharing. Amen. haha.

Blessings.
Margy - Apple of KingDaddy's eyes.

Fellowship. Anyone?

2007-01-02T10:05:00.000+08:00

I need to fellowship. Anyone? haha.
Talk to me about Jesus.

Back from HM6 Camp!

2006-12-22T17:10:00.000+08:00

haha. I'm back from HM camp! Woohoo! Amazingly fun and exciting. haha.

Had so much fun. Fun that can't be described with words. It's like Jesus just coming down to my level but not only that; He came to my level to bring me up to His. haha.

I went to the Camp tired. Expecting but unsure of how things would come. To be frank, I didn't really feel so excited and everything on the first day. I didn't feel the hype or anything like that. But I just told Dad that I don't wanna leave the Camp the way I came. I want Him to come to where I am and love me. haha. And He surely did. haha.

haha. Just love the way He loves me. The way He just came for me and brought me up to where He is. I used to think that Jesus would like just come down to where I am and stay low with me. But during one of the services, He just softly told me that He came to where I am to bring me to where He is. To the level where He wants me to be at. Not even with my self effort I would move up but with His effort and strength. :D

haha. A reminder to myself as well to those who need this -- The anointing and the presence that you felt at the camp isn't confined to the hotel ballroom nor the event itself. But even after we've left M'sia, the anointing and giftings that are imparted are received and kept by Jesus in us. haha.

Like got so many things to say but not sure where to start. haha.

Oh ya. The hotel is nice and comfy! haha. Daddy really super exceeded me in this. With the little we pay, we really got so much more. Thank You Daddy. :D haha.

During ministering, though I didn't feel the woo-ahh of the Holy Spirit (whatever that means. lols!), I just know that Daddy did something in me. A touch that refreshes me. A touch of impartation. The abundance of grace that was imparted. The giftings that were imparted. Surely some things are taught but some things are caught. haha.

Just now I was reading someone's blog and something just kept sounding in me. That the end would be better than the beginning. It's like I have read it somewhere before. Yes there's verses in the bible that talk about that (Ecclesiastes 7:8 & Job 8:7, Job 42:12) but ya loh. I know I've seen it elsewhere before. haha. Maybe Daddy wrote it for me in my dreams. heh heh!

Yes amen Daddy, the path of the righteous is like the shining sun that shines ever brighter unto the perfect day. Yes Dad, even if I fall, I know it would be an upward stumble because the way of life winds upward for the wise and yes! Jesus is my Wisdom. :D

haha. I came out of the Camp just wanting to be a willing vessel. Willing to die to self and let Christ lead this life through me. Willing to be used by Him. Willing to let Him move through me.

haha. It just touched me so much when my eyes are opened to see the blessednesses of being a willing vessel.

Because Pastor was a willing vessel, he was able to preach the Word of Dad and touch my life and the lives of the many present. Because he was a willing vessel, Daddy used him and made him a part of what I asked Daddy for.
Because the Camp comm was filled with willing vessels, I am so blessed by all that was planned. Because they were willing vessels, they made an impact, they made a difference in the 400 odd lives that were there at the Camp.

haha. Yes Dady. Year 2007 is gonna be such a great year. Far greater than 2006. Far greater than what I can ask or imagine. :D

Hey people. All that you've expected Daddy to do during the Camp or even for year 2006, don't let it die off just because the Camp has ended, the year is ending. Don't give up till it come to past 'cos it surely will and keep on EXPECTING! haha. Live expectantly. Expecting from the One who loves you and gave Himself for YOU. :D

haha. I love, I love, I love... Because I am so Loved by Love. hehe. :D

Beware Singapore because the HIStory Makers are in the Land. haha.

Numbers 21:4-9

2006-12-06T22:23:00.000+08:00

Oh my! Oh my! I love! I love! I love! I wanna share! haha. Out of the overflow I shall sing praises to my God. haha.

The only reason why I am blessed and can be blessed is because my Jesus paid for it! Because my Jesus is my Righteousness, my Everything. haha.

Love what clara shared in her blog - Fear Not; about letting not our heart be troubled, that it would not even be me myself who guards my heart but is it Jesus who jealously guards my heart. So sweet right. haha. So beautiful! :D

haha. I wanna share about anything that comes to mind. haha. HAPPY. lols. Wanna share what pastor shared on Sunday. Very very beautiful. haha. Super exciting. haha.

Numbers 21:4-9 (Amplified)
4 And they journeyed from Mount Hor by the way to the Red Sea, to go around the land of Edom, and the people became impatient (depressed, much discouraged), because [of the trials] of the way.
5 And the people spoke against God and against Moses, Why have you brought us out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no bread, neither is there any water, and we loathe this light (contemptible, unsubstantial) manna.
6 Then the Lord sent fiery (burning) serpents among the people; and they bit the people, and many Israelites died.
7 And the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord and against you; pray to the Lord, that He may take away the serpents from us. So Moses prayed for the people.
8 And the Lord said to Moses, "Make a fiery serpent [of bronze] and set it on a pole; and everyone who is bitten, when he looks at it, shall live."
9 And Moses made a serpent of bronze and put it on a pole, and if a serpent had bitten any man, when he looked to the serpent of bronze [[a]attentively, expectantly, with a steady and absorbing gaze], he lived.

This is so beautiful because the Amplified actually brings out the Hebrew. Woohoo! haha.

Pastor said before that the word sent in verse 6 isn't causative tense but permissive tense. Dad wasn't the one who created those fiery serpents but He only lifted His hand of protection and those serpents were able to attack.

Such grace that we are always protected because Jesus is our righteousness. hehe. We are no more measured by our own deeds and words but by Jesus'. Mercy mercy. :D

haha. Very interesting! What was attacking them was fiery seprents! And if you read the verses you would realise that God asked Moses to a fiery serpent of bronze and set it on a pole! Bronze means judgment and pole is a picture of the cross. Do you see it? Oh my! haha.

Whatever that is attacking you, be it stress, financial difficulty(ies), health problem, etc, see it as being judged at the cross for you! It has been crucified already. Old things have passed away behold all things become new! haha. Those things that are trying to make inroads into your life has no right nor power to be there because Jesus has triumph over it!

haha. Interesting. I went to check the english dictionary on the meaning of inroad. I heard of this word before but not very sure of it's meaning as well as spelling. haha. You know what it means?

From Yahoo! dictonary::
1. A hostile invasion; a raid.
2. An advance, especially at another's expense; an encroachment. Often used in the plural.

The first meaning caught my attention. hehe. Reminds me of
1 Chronicles 14:8-9
8 Now when the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up to search for David. And David heard of it and went out against them.
9 Then the Philistines went and made a raid on the Valley of Rephaim.

haha. What I caught the other time was that, when you know you are the beloved, having Jesus as King of your life, the devil would try to attack your health, the surety of the Jesus' health and healing purchased on the cross. :D Share with me if Dad tells you anything bout it. It's interesting. haha.

Lets continue with Numbers 21:4-9. haha.

Pastor shared something very interesting. In verse 7, the people repented and asked Moses to pray to the LORD to take away the serpents from them.

haha. Praise Jesus leh. Because today we can enjoy a fellowship with Him and Father. We are made kings and priests because of Jesus (Revelation 1:5-6) and we can pray directly to Him through Him (Jesus), and not based on someone else's experience with God. :)

They asked God to take away the serpents (problems) but Dad has a better solution! He can take away the serpents but the people would remain wounded and bitten. And they would die because in verse 6 it says "and they bit the people; and many of the people of Israel died."

But the solution of God; Jesus, is a much better answer. Because everyone who is bitten, when he looks at it (fiery serpent of bronze), shall live. You don't need an absence of all those troubles; you need a fresh revelation of Jesus' finished work for you. Ask Him to show you what He had accomplished for you on the cross. hehe.

Jesus not only redeemed us from the curse of the law (Galatians 3:13) but He has blessed us with every spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ (Ephesians 1:3). haha.

Colossians 1:12-14 (NKJV)
12 giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light.
13 He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love,
14 in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.

haha. Today will share till here. Will be back soon. haha. Haven't finish yet. Also haven't talk about the hebrew words. hehe.

Blessings people. Jesus Loves You!

Jesus loves margy.

Safety Net

2006-11-29T18:48:00.000+08:00

Was listening to Rev. Col Stringer's sermon yesterday about Arise! then I was reminded again of what Dad showed me some time back. haha.

I once heard pastor said that Grace is like the safety net for the performer that walks on the tightrope. I never understood why safety net is a picture of Grace until Dad showed me.

Imagine you are a performer. You have just started on your circus career and your first performance is to walk and balance on a tightrope. Something new, seems fun but you're unsure because you're not sure how you'll fare.

If the rope is only 30cm above the groud, no worries man. You'll just walk and be happy because you're so near to the ground (within your comfort zone) so if you're falling, you know you'll just jump back safely down to where you were.

But lets imagine if the rope is elevated to 20meters above the ground. Would you just walk like it's just 30cm above the groud?

Maybe you would if you are courageous but I guess it comes with a condition, that there's a safety net below.

Sometimes we are asked by Dad to arise to the next level, to go on to another ministry, to do something new, to talk to someone. Things that are totally new, not within your comfort zone and the hold back is always there to say,"What if..." "What if that's not what I really want?" "What if I paiseh?" "What if..." "What if..." haha.

But comfort really comes when we start to walk upon the elevated rope knowing that Dad's hands & love (safety net) is always there to hold you when you fall. And when you fall, you'll only bounce back higher. *springy* haha.

Proverbs 24:16
For a righteous man falls seven times and rises again..

We don't have to worry if there would be enough. We don't have to worry if we have prepared enough because whatever you lack, Dady would provide. Whatever you need, He's there to give. I think it's often whether we want to reach out our hand and take what is already there. ;)

Philippians 4:19 (Amplified)
And my God will liberally supply ( fill to the full) your every need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

What if that's where your breakthrough would come? haha. No worries man. If you miss it, Dad would always make another way for you but why not save the trouble of going round and round when a shorter & faster way is available though it seems unsure at first, since Jesus is always there to catch if you fall? :)

Lets not worry about the "What if"s but take the step out, step up, arise and see and enjoy what's in store for us. We'll never know what's on the road for us till we travel on that road. And if ever you make a mistake, Dad's there to hold you and bounce you up higher.

As sure as the finished work of Christ is, so sure are our victories and inheritances. :)

Enjoy.
Margaret, let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

:)

2006-11-27T23:46:00.000+08:00

Oh my. I wanna share because everytime when I share, it's like planting the seed, the Word of God into my heart even deeper. :D

Reminding myself again, Daddy, I thank You that You are doing a great and mighty work in my life. I might not know how, when, what, where, who, but I choose to rest in You. Yes Dad, lets walk together. haha. Secure me in Your Love Dad. I rest and depend on You because again and again You show Yourself dependable and loving. hehe.

Love what pastor shared on sunday. You know sometimes when we wanna share the gospel with our friends and tell them that God heals, God prospers, we feel like hypocrites because we're feeling unwell at that moment, because we only have 5 cents in our wallet at that moment. haha.

But you know what? You're not lying, you're not a hypocrite when you declare that God heals and prospers because you are declaring what the Word of God says. The Word that says, "Daddy supplies all our need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus". The Word that says, "By His stripes I was healed". And that's the truth. Circumstances can change. Economy can change. Weather can change. Fashion can change but the Word of God changes not.

Psalm 89:34
My covenant I will not break, nor alter the word that has gone out of My lips.

Isaiah 40:8
The grass withers, the flower fades. But the word of our God stands forever.

Hebrews 13:8
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

The definition of hypocrisy is acting like someone you are not; hypocrisy is acting like a sinner when God has made you righteous.

Lets start agreeing with what the Word of God (Jesus) says and walk with Him. haha. Love what Rev. Joe Purcell shared at BS 2 weeks ago as well. If God says something, it's only polite to agree with it. haha. Like so cool can. haha. It's only polite to agree. haha.

Okay. Wanna share what Daddy told me sometime ago. haha.

You know sometimes in life you meet people who disappoint, judge or even hurt you. And over some time your heart might put up "fences" to make sure that you don't get hurt. You don't dare to love again because you don't want to get hurt. You don't dare to be open again because you don't want to be judged.

But you know what? You don't have to fear. You don't have to put up "fences", you don't have to isolate yourself. Because Daddy is mighty to save. haha. He is really is! Daddy is a wise Dad. He gives you favor with everyone you meet but the favor comes with protection.

2 Corinthians 12:9
And He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness." Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

Do you know sufficient (G714) in Greek means::

1. to be possessed of unfailing strength
(a) to be strong, to suffice, to be enough to defend, ward off
(b) to be satisfied, to be contented

haha. When you're strong in yourself, Daddy want to but He can't protect you. Daddy didn't ask you to enjoy the weakness and wallow in it but in the midst of your weakness, know that His Hand is mighty to save. His Hand is strong and able to place that favor and blessing upon you even when you are in that valley.

Selah. ((:

The Father's Love

2006-11-22T23:57:00.000+08:00

OH MY GOD!! This is so beautiful!! If I can spam everyone in the world I would do it. =x haha.

Really praise Jesus and bless the darling hearts of the people who took the time to film this and uploaded this online for all to watch. I really appreciate you, whoever you are. DaddyGod bless you so abundantly. Abundance in every area of your life. Amen. hehe.

And yeap Dad. Thanks for right place right time that brother wayne showed me this link. OH MY!!! EVERYONE PLEASE CLICK ON THE LINK! lols.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIDeI_UMK2I&mode=related&search=

I think it's really precious when all that I see in this is the Love of my Father, my Daddy who loves me so much. Not mixed with religiousity, not mixed with traditions. Just truths. Truths about His love that would set me free, that would set you free.

So amazing what the Love of God can do. So amazing that no words would be enough to explain, to narrate. It just gives you power to face the fights of life. haha.

I believe DaddyGod's love is THE answer to the heart cry of everyone out there. Whether you know Jesus or you don't, I believe that's the heart cry in each and everyone of us. haha.

We can search for all eternity long and find, there is none like You. The power of Your love just amazes me again and again. In awe of Your love. Your majestic love.

We can search for all eternity, we can do all kinds of things trying to fill up that void but it can only be satisfied by His awesome love.

I don't have to juggle and do stunning tricks to make Him love me.
I don't need to have it all together to let Him love and die for me (Romans 5:5-8).
You are already accepted in the Beloved. (Ephesians 1:6)
Just praying in tongues without Love wouldn't cut it. Just giving and serving without Love wouldn't cut it. (Read 1 Corinthians 13) When all else fails you, Love wouldn't.
And God is Love. Jesus is Love. (1 John 4:8)

He really believes the best of YOU.
Really He did and He still does.
He believed the best of YOU and went to the cross for YOU.
He believed and loved YOU to conquer the grave for YOU.

Oh my. Jesus, just let me stand in awe of You, of Your love for me every day, every moment of my life. Jesus, all You've desired for me is good and GOOD. Nothing less than what's best would You give me.

Daddy who did not spare His own Son but delivered Him up for us all (me, you), how shall He not with Him (Jesus) also freely give us all things? - Romans 8:32

Let the Father love you to wholeness. DaddyGod is never like your earthly dad. Your earthly dad is nowhere near Him. DaddyGod - He's THE Best.

So filled. SO satisfied. Only Your love can do. Only Your love will do.
Read Psalm 139. It is So beautiful. If you know the Father's heart, you would know what true satisfaction is.

Only Jesus can show you this Love. Only Jesus can and Jesus will.

Oh my. My Jesus Loves me so. haha.
Selah

RANDom..

2006-11-12T00:28:00.001+08:00

Today's sermon left me with one thing - the God-shaped void that can only be filled by God's love; where nothing else can do. It was no coincidence that I actually bumped into a blog yesterday talking about the same thing. ;)

Jesus' love broke through and broke all the defenses. Jesus, a Savior unto me, I humble myself at Your feet. Your love broke through those tiredness within.

Humility isn't knowing nothing and being nothing but it's simply knowing that Jesus is everything.

Creation showed the mighty power of God's word.
The law showed the righteousness of God.
The Cross (His Redemption) showed God's love and His mighty power to save with His Righteousness.

When men say they love you, sometimes it's mere words. But when Jesus said He loves you, He stretched out His hands & died for you.

For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ (from John 1:17)

You can give from afar but you can't love and hug without coming near. Notice truth is on the side of grace not law. :D

You can give without loving but you can't love without giving.

from John 3:16
For God so loved the world, He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

haha. So beautiful. He gave His Best so that I would not perish but have everlasting life.

from 1 John 5:11-12
For God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. For he who has the Son has life.

Only grace can show you God's love, Jesus. The Son was full of grace and truth (from John 1:14).

Jesus loves me, this I know.
For the bible tells me so.
Little ones to Him belong,
We are blessed for He is strong.

Yes, Jesus loves me.
Yes, Jesus loves me.
Yes, Jesus loves me.
For the bible tells me so.

Selah with You.

Enjoy this communion, He says.

2006-10-22T22:33:00.000+08:00

haha. Here to share! hehe. Daddy is so good! hehe.

Wanna share something that a brother said during care group. Very beautiful. Jesus is so good. He just showed me Himself in the illustration. haha. So good. hehe. All by Your grace. hehe.

That brother shared that he loves fishing and he just enjoy the process of fishing. So much so that even if a fish get on the bait, he would take it and throw it back into the sea because it is the process that he enjoys. Not exactly the fish. haha.

So beautiful! haha.

DaddyGod showed me that it's just like the communion we share with Him. haha. Jesus is like the fishing rod. Fish is the blessings and the sea/water is Daddy! hehe.

We have communion (connection. haha!) with Daddy because of Jesus, through Jesus. Blessings would come to us because of Jesus, through Jesus. But because we simply enjoy the communion we share with Daddy and Jesus, we would not be overwhelmed by the blessings that come along but we would "throw" it back to Jesus; use it to glorify Jesus, let Him be glorified in our midst. haha.

haha. And Jesus would be able to bless you with greater things because He knows your heart wouldn't be captivated by what is passing and fading. But your eyes and enjoyment are on Him, in Him, with Him. haha. So cool right. Jesus, You're the coolest dude. *sing song & dance* haha.

Set your eyes on the Bless'er and Him alone. Jesus is all you need. Jesus is all I need. :D

Yes Jesus. Selah. :D

Wow. Praise Jesus! After I posted this post, I logged on to my multiply and saw that my CGL had a new post. I read it and it's amazing!! It's about giving what we have into His hands. Like a continuation. God is so good man! He has much more to say. Know His heart of love for you. haha. Click here to read. hehe.

haha. Psalms~ :D

2006-10-18T23:19:00.000+08:00

haha. This is my 100th post on my blogger!! hehe. haha. Okay. Here to share. haha.

Was just flipping through the bible. Then saw Psalm 130. Beautiful Psalm. :D

Psalm 130

1 Out of the depths I have cried to You, O LORD;
2 Lord, hear my voice!
Let Your ears be attentive
To the voice of my supplications.

3 If You, LORD, should mark iniquities,
O Lord, who could stand?
4 But there is forgiveness with You,
That You may be feared.

5 I wait for the LORD, my soul waits,
And in His word I do hope.
6 My soul waits for the Lord
More than those who watch for the morning--
Yes, more than those who watch for the morning.

7 O Israel, hope in the LORD;
For with the LORD there is mercy,
And with Him is abundant redemption.
8 And He shall redeem Israel
From all his iniquities.

Wow. So beautiful loh. Like what Christ in bro Zheng Jye shared, belief = Jesus and His word/promises. Hope in His Word. Rejoice in the Lord. :D hehe.

Don't rejoice only when you see the circumstances change, when you see the light shine forth in your situation. Start rejoicing because Jesus' work is finished. Because God's word says the path of the just shines brighter and brighter unto the perfect day. :D

Psalm 146 also very beautiful! hehe.

Psalm 146
The Happiness of Those Whose Help Is the LORD

1 Praise the LORD!
Praise the LORD, O my soul!
2 While I live I will praise the LORD;
I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.

3 Do not put your trust in princes,
Nor in a son of man, in whom there is no help.
4 His spirit departs, he returns to his earth;
In that very day his plans perish.

5 Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help,
Whose hope is in the LORD his God,
6 Who made heaven and earth,
The sea, and all that is in them;
Who keeps truth forever,
7 Who executes justice for the oppressed,
Who gives food to the hungry.
The LORD gives freedom to the prisoners.

8 The LORD opens the eyes of the blind;
The LORD raises those who are bowed down;
The LORD loves the righteous.
9 The LORD watches over the strangers;
He relieves the fatherless and widow;
But the way of the wicked He turns upside down.

10 The LORD shall reign forever--
Your God, O Zion, to all generations.

Praise the LORD!

haha. Yea yea. Love it when people share with me and Jesus show it to me in the bible. haha. Don't trust your flesh. hehe. Hope in the Lord. Confidently expect from the Lord your God. :D hehe. All we need to do is to sing praises to Him, all day long.

*Sing song*
Praise Him, praise Him, praise Him in the morning, praise Him in the noon time. Praise Him, praise Him, praise Him when the sun goes down~ hehe.

haha. Pastor shared before why bible record it as God of Jacob and not other men of God like David, etc. Think it's something like because Jacob's life is really undeserving. hehe. Anyone know? Can tell me? Thank you. :D

Jesus, thank You for multiplying my time and lengthening my days. hehe. Love You. :D

Continue to enjoy Jesus. :D

Blessings.
Jesus loves and Jesus saves. :D

With Jesus.

2006-10-16T19:31:00.000+08:00

Hmm.. Haven't been sharing for some time. Sharing as in to just really get soaked up with Jesus and talk bout His beauty and love! hehe. And YEAP!! I wanna SHARE!! haha. Oh man! I love to talk about Jesus. Let that living water within flow flow flow~

Jesus, put people around me that would just be so addicted to You and just love talking about You and Your Word. Thank You Jesus. Jesus, thank You that You kabad me. Jesus, help me to die to self each day. :D Wanna be a Jesus-addict all the days of my life.

We all have a ministry. One that all of us have and enjoy. And that's to behold Jesus and let His Spirit transform us.

2 Corinthians 3:18-4:1
18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.

1 Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we do not lose heart.

To just sit down and enjoy Him. Though the waves may be roaring, though the boat seems to be shaking, be still and know that Jesus is God.

Yes Lord, despite my feelings, despite my circumstances, I know and I believe You never leave me nor forsake me. I BELIEVE that You've loved me with an everlasting love. Because the grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God stands forever.

Yes Jesus, I know You love me, heart me and You take care of me. I am too small to guard everything. I am too weak to hold on to everything. But I thank You that Your love upholds my world and I rest in Your embrace.

Yes Jesus, at the cross Your loved ones and friends were put far away from You so that today I can enjoy my loved ones and friends.
Jesus, I thank You for lovely relationships I share with my family. I thank You for a harmonious family. I thank You for a family that has You as the King of the house. Jesus, I thank You that You are the Captain of my life. :D

haha. Jesus, I thank You that the calling You've placed in my life is coming to pass already. I thank You that You're doing great and mighty things in my life. :D
Oh Jesus, I thank You that this weak flesh is too weak; too weak to bring to pass what You have for me in life. haha. No more self because Jesus is in. Since Jesus is here, why not just rest and let Him take over? WOOHOO~ haha.

Jesus, let my life be for Your glory. Let all that I do be unto the glory of Jesus. Even in my mistakes, let Jesus be glorify. haha! Jesus, thank You that You've placed such a great call in my life. So great that the hell is trembling, devil is crying. haha. So great that the nations are cheering. haha.

Yes Jesus, I thank You for HOLY SPIRIT. My Holy Friend. The Friend that is different from my other friends. The Friend that is closer to me than a brother/sister. Jesus, baby rest in Your embrace. Baby rest in Your love. Baby rest and depend on YOU. haha.

Pastor Chin shared on Saturday that we should not depend even on the measure of wisdom Jesus has given to us but to depend on Jesus Himself. Depend on the Person of Jesus. Jesus is made unto us wisdom and righteousness and sanctification and redemption.

Jesus is my Wisdom, not the amount of bible knowledge I have.
Jesus is my Righteousness, not the number of hours I pray in tongues.
Jesus is my sanctification, not the number of times I go church every week.
Jesus is my redemption, not the amount of hours or strength I put into serving Jesus. haha.

haha. I don't really know what's the link of why I said all those things but what I'm saying is that, Jesus is my everything. It's all about Jesus.

haha. That day I was just reading the bible and I saw something.

Psalm 68:12-13 (NKJV)
12 "Kings of armies flee, they flee, and she who remains at home divides the spoil.
13 Though you lie down among the sheepfolds, you will be like the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold."

Psalm 68:13 (Amplified Bible)
Though you [the slackers] may lie among the sheepfolds [in slothful ease, yet for Israel] the wings of a dove are covered with silver, its pinions excessively green with gold [are trophies taken from the enemy].

haha. What I saw was, as you remain in the presence of God, as you just lie down with the Shepherd and enjoy His presence, victory by Jesus' blood would be enforced, the glory of Jesus would adorn you. :D

haha. On Sunday pastor preached about the secret of Caleb. What I received is the different spirit that Caleb had. A spirit that sees things differently and dare to be different. A spirit that sees problems and giants as bread. A spirit that sees what God says and not what the natural eyes see. And yes Lord! I thank You for such a spirit in me. Thank You Jesus. :D

haha. I realised I ended up talking to Jesus instead. hehe. I had FUN though. Much more fun than anything. hehe.

Oh ya. Suddenly thought of something.

Proverbs 12:27
The lazy man does not roast what he took in hunting, but dilligence is man's precious possession.

That day I was reading this verse and I thought of why talk about roasting? Hmm... Then what I received is to filter everything we read in the bible through the cross of Jesus (at the cross Jesus was roasted by God's wrath). haha.

haha. Yes Lord. I shall not be ashame of the gospel of Christ. I shall not be ashamed to be a Jesus-addict. :D I'm not gonna hold back now~ hehe. *sing song* lols.

Daniel 6:3 (Amplified)
Then this Daniel was distinguished above the presidents and the satraps because an excellent spirit was in him, and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.

It's the spirit that matters. Changes are from inside out. Ask God for a spirit of excellence and you would see Him work through you. :D

Oh ya. That day as I was talking to a princess, Jesus said something to us. We were talking about works and grace. I've never seen it this way-- because when we talk about works and grace, I would tend to think of what we do or do not.

But that day Jesus said, it's not really about what you do, but where you place your trust in. Do you place your trust in what you do or in the finished work of Christ, in the love of God for you? You would know because when you are fighting for victory (self-effort), it becomes burdensome. But when you are fighting from victory (finished work), it is enjoyment and fun. :D

Had a revelation that day. A very simple revelation. haha.

Confidence is when you believe the heart Jesus has for you; the heart of love. Believe in His love for you. :D

Lets let the romance begin, let the love flow~ haha.

Blessings!
Jesus loves me & He is mighty to save. :D

Loved.

2006-10-08T01:40:00.002+08:00

haha. Here to share! hehe. Supernatural joy. hehe. Lets tap into the supernatural. Start living the high life that Jesus died to give you!! hehe.

Wanna share what I read in the daily devotional by Joel Osteen. hehe.

I'm gonna extract again! lols. Gonna extract what attracted me from Page 190-192 of the book. hehe.

When we go through some sort of loss or disappointment, God doesn't expect us to be emotionless. It's okay to go through a time of grieving. But don't allow yourself to live there. Don't let that season of mourning turn into a lifestyle of mourning, living a sour and negative life...

God still has a bright future for you. He wants to take those negative experiences and use them to your advantage, if you'll dare to do your part and rise up out of those ashes.

haha. So cool lah. I feel God is doing great and mighty things for me, in my life. I feel someone would get sponsored for HM6 camp. Not sure who would get sponsored, not sure who would be the sponsor. But I feel that someone would come along my way and want to sponsor for the camp. Who wanna get sponsored? haha.

Actually what I wanna share today is not to let your emotions rule you. You can rule over your emotions. Don't let your emotions set you; you set your emotions. haha. Nothing is too big nor strong for you to overcome. Jesus, the King of kings, the Lord of lords is in YOU! hehe.

Someone tell me about worship! haha.

I feel Daddy is telling me something bout worship. The beauty of worship. haha. If you realise, worship leaders (as far as I know/see) are always young looking. haha. They enjoy renewal of youth because they are the ones who always draw near to God. haha. *You get to draw near to God also yea. He's your Lover and Healer. Don't let someone else kiss your Lover for you yea.* haha.

Pastor said before worship is like coming to kiss Jesus. When you worship Him, you are actually kiss Him, mouth to mouth! How cool is that? haha. You get to kiss the COOLEST dude around k. haha.

Daddy, thank You for wisdom. Thank You for exceedingly great understanding. Daddy, thank You for largeness of heart like the sand on the seashore. :D

Thank You for enjoyment. Thank You for contentment. Really thank You for Jesus. He who knew no sin was made sin for me that I might become the righteousness of God in Him [Christ]. hehe.

This week, I realised that Jesus really know what we need best and He died to give us that. haha.

Personally, I feel the peace of heart and mind is really what we need. The peace that comes by knowing the truth that God is on our side and He does not condemn us nor would He leave us, is just so precious.

You would not have the courage to ask God for anything if you don't know that your salvation is eternal. You would not have the courage to draw near to God unless you know and believe that all your sins are already punished and purged by Jesus' one sacrifice at the cross.

Hebrews 10:11-14
Christ's Death Perfects the Sanctified

11 And every priest stands ministering daily and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.
12 But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God,
13 from that time waiting till His enemies are made His footstool.
14 For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.

If you're a christian, not only are you sanctified (set apart to Jesus) but you are also perfected! Not by your works but by Jesus' sacrifice.

Hebrews 1:3
who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

Jesus sat down because He had by Himself purged our sins! As much as Jesus is the Son of God, He was raised and sat down not because He is the Son of God but because His work is finished!

1 Corinthians 15:17,20
17 And if Christ is not risen, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins!

20 But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.

Romans 4:24-25
24 but also for us. It [Righteousness] shall be imputed to us who believe in Him who raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead,
25 who was delivered up because of our offenses, and was raised because of our justification.

haha. Happy Happy. hehe. Praises to Jesus. All glory to Him and Him alone.

Jesus loves me MOSTest! haha.

Jesus my King

2006-10-01T00:19:00.000+08:00

haha. I can't use enough words to describe what an awesome night I had. What an awesome praise & worship session I enjoyed. To just jump, to scream, shout and sing your lungs out for Jesus; to the King of kings, the Lord of lords. haha.

haha. It is just so awesome to just come into Daddy's presence to just worship Him. To just love Him and enjoy His awesome love for me. haha. Jesus is just so AWESOME. haha. I think this is the don't know how many times I used the word "awesome" but yeap. That's the word I'll use. haha.

Wow. Pastor released the word of a new portion of favor into my life. So cool. Daddy, I receive it in Jesus' name. Amen. hehe.

haha. We're all made for greater things than what we're doing now. I'm made for greater things than what I'm doing now. hehe.

Daddy, I thank You that You give me friends, sisters and brothers to enjoy. Thank You Lord. I believe in Your love for me. :D

Now I rest, in Your arms of Love. Hugs.
Jesus, I thank You for enjoyment. I thank You for love. I thank You that You made all things easy and enjoyable for me. Precious. Love You.

Lets start to personalise the Love that Daddy has for us. So much so that He gave His precious Son for us. haha. Lets magnify God, lets magnify Love. haha.

Jesus, thank You for an awesome time of sharing by Pauline. :D

When we magnify Jesus, magnify Love (because God is Love 1 John 4:8), all our problems just become strangely dim.

As pauline was sharing, I just got reminded of something that Jesus revealed to me before.

You know when you magnify the picture of a person, there might be a small blemish that you would notice in the picture of the person's face. And the bigger the picture is being magnified, the bigger the blemish becomes.
But Jesus is different. The bigger you magnify Him in your consciousness, the more you would see His beauty and glory. hehe.

Lets just be real with our DaddyGod and run to Him when you have trouble. He wouldn't turn you away because Jesus' blood has brought you near, forever. :D

Rest rest. Jesus loves me.

Bookie bookie

2006-09-27T20:49:00.000+08:00

Hello~ I need a book for 1 semester... Following are the details::

Author: Laurence D. Hoffmann & Gerald L. Bradley.
Title: Calculus for Business, Economics and the Social and Life Sciences (9th edition).
Publisher: McGraw-Hill.

Anyone have? Tag or leave a msg if you do yea. haha. Thank you.

New Semester :D

2006-09-26T23:00:00.000+08:00

Hello hello! haha. I'm blogging! lols. Decided to add a new entry. haha.

It's only the second day of school and it has really been fun and relaxing. haha. I only had a 1 hour lecture today and praise Jesus I went! hehe.

I love what pastor shared on Sunday - to wait on the Lord. I think that's something Jesus has been teaching me. To listen. haha. If you know me, you would have known that I love to TALK! lols. Talking is like my hobby. lols. But yeap. I thank God for a new hobby and that's to listen. hehe. I thank God for a patient spirit and a listening heart. :D

I also love one part where pastor said, "Preach, out of revelation and not out of experience". Because if a pastor was to preach out of experience then the growth of the congregation would be limited by the pastor's experience.

However when the pastor preaches out of a revelation of Jesus, they would be touching the unlimited resources of God. People would raise up to the level of preaching and DaddyGod would always confirm it with signs and wonders. Praise Jesus. hehe.

DaddyGod also told us through pastor that worldliness isn't about the clothes you wear, the music you listen. But to DaddyGod, worldliness is to speak and talk like the world. Looking at the natural and talking about the natural instead of looking at the invisible, the spiritual, the blessings that DaddyGod had promised. And He who promised is faithful and well-able to perform it. :D

Yesterday I went for a short shopping trip at Raffles Xchange. haha. If you don't know where or what is that, alight at Raffles Place MRT Station, exit, take the escalator up and you would see this space with shops. haha.

As I was heading back to the station to take the train, I saw the shop, Mount Zion.
Wow. I sense such joy when I enter the shop. Surely it is not natural but it's the presence of Jesus. I just love that shop. haha. Daddy surely had blessed the shop with favor and glory.

I saw this book titled, "When you see the invisible, you can do the impossible" or was it "You can do the impossible when you see the invisible"? lols. Either one. haha. It is something along that line. haha. The book seems nice. Didn't read it though. haha. Suddenly thought of it when I was typing the previous paragraph. :D

I call forth this semester blessed, full of the favor and glory of Jesus. It would be such a God-glorifying semester. haha. Daddy, I thank You for favor and blessing. I thank You for wisdom. I thank You for righteousness. I thank You for Jesus.

Oh ya! And 2 Sundays back in the indoor stadium, pastor preached a really powerful message. There was a healing anointing present before the service started and many were healed supernaturally. hehe.

God's favor and healing is greater than any problem or trouble you have. :D

The first thing that I caught from that service was that Grace is the person, Jesus. Jesus is grace personified.
I was like, "WOO..." haha. I know we are always told that Jesus is our everything. But when I heard pastor said that Grace is Jesus, Jesus is Grace, it kinda blew my mind away. haha.

Sometimes we just need someone to remind us once again of Jesus and Him crucified. Thank God for the Holy Spirit. :D

Then pastor went on to share

Romans 5:21
so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

-----------------

haha. Side track a bit. I went to shower just now. hehe.

haha. Praise Jesus. Thank You Lord. haha. Jesus, thank You for coming down to my level and love me where I am. I thank You that You've reminded me again and again not to take things into my own hands yet I did. And even when I was stubborn, You never once left me. I thank You that You showed me once again that there's no point worrying and trying to rectify things. Let go and let God take over. :D

Jesus, let Your love consume me once again. haha. Let the romance begin. haha.

God is Holy. God is love. God's love is holy. :D Jesus, thank You for loving me right where I am. Really Lord. Thank You Lord. I repent (change my mind) Lord. Jesus, thank You for a teachable heart and a submissive spirit. Thank You that I'm dead to self and alive to Christ.

haha. It's fun to know that even when you make a mistake, you are not kicked out of fellowship with God. But because of the sacrifice of Jesus, I get to enjoy continual fellowship with DaddyGod.

Woo. I read something very nice and interesting online!

Romans 6:10-11 (Amplified Bible)
10 For by the death He died, He died to sin [ending His relation to it] once for all; and the life that He lives, He is living to God [in unbroken fellowship with Him].
11 Even so consider yourselves also dead to sin and your relation to it broken, but alive to God [living in unbroken fellowship with Him] in Christ Jesus.

Wow! Because I am in Christ Jesus, I have an unbroken fellowship with DaddyGod! Praise Jesus.

Romans 8:10-11 (Amplified Bible)
10 But if Christ lives in you, [then although] your [natural] body is dead by reason of sin and guilt, the spirit is alive because of [the] righteousness [that He imputes to you].
11 And if the Spirit of Him Who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, [then] He Who raised up Christ Jesus from the dead will also restore to life your mortal (short-lived, perishable) bodies through His Spirit Who dwells in you.

haha. This verse just caught my attention. The part where it says that my righteousness is imputed unto me by God. Means it's not by my works. hehe. Thank You Jesus. :D

-----------------

haha. Think I would share what pastor shared at indoor another day. :D Praise Jesus.

Margy refuses to worry or care because Jesus did a good work.
Jesus, margy humbles herself under Your mighty hand, casting all my cares unto You because You care for me. :D

Blessings~

Personal and Unique.

2006-09-16T02:51:00.000+08:00

Margy - Hand picked by Jesus.

Wow Jesus. I don't want to live the life of others. I want to live the life you have for me because it is so great! So unique and great, for me.

Thank You for love. Thank You for the greatness of Your love and power.

Jesus loves me dearly. Lord, let me be a great receiver. I love! I love! I love! :D

NEW blog.

2006-09-15T01:47:00.000+08:00

Hmm.. I've intended to cross blog from my NEW multiply blog but I don't know why it just doesn't appear. hehe. It's okay though. You can always read my posts at my multiply blog! hehe. Address is:: http://mostloved.multiply.com/

Be greatly blessed, highly favored and deeply loved. Jesus loves you! Yes He does. He told me so. haha. Loves.

YOUTH! I'm loving it~ haha.

2006-08-28T00:19:00.000+08:00

Oh Jesus! I love being a youth! haha. *SUPER BIG SMILE* hehe.

Been wanting to share this but didn't really got the chance or maybe just because I didn't know how to put it into words bah. hehe. I LOVE BEING A YOUTH!

Let me repeat:: I LOVE BEING A YYOOUUTTTTHHHHH~

haha. All the things we do. All the jumpings, all the vibrancy, all the enthusiasm, just for Jesus and Jesus alone. haha. Jesus is a young God! haha. He's full of energy! Full of LIFE! haha. He loves to party. haha. He loves to dance. hehe. Loves to see me enjoy. Loves to see me smile! haha.

I love Jesus! haha.

I really thank Daddy God for Campus Ministry. I really thank Daddy God for making me a youth! haha.

You know around 2 weeks back, these thoughts came to me before I go to bed::

Maybe I haven't been in a boy-girl relationship too long or what but I kind of felt like BGR is a bit complicated. haha. And Jesus just dropped this in me; this love that I suddenly have for being a YOUTH and part of the COOLEST youth minsitry around; CAMPUS MINISTRY! haha. I just love the fact that we're all seeing one another as brothers and sisters. And the love that we share is just so pure if I can put it that way. haha.

Of course I'm not saying I don't look at cute guys k. I'm a red-blooded woman, every inch of me. haha. Like how pastor say he's a red-blooded man. haha. But does looking at cute guys got anything to do with being red-blooded? haha. I don't care. hehe.

Anyway, ya loh. Nothing wrong with having crushes, feeling this guy or that is cute. Certainly nothing wrong and no condemnation man. But surely these guys can't fill the hunger and void we have on the inside. The void that only God's love can fill and satisfy to the overflowing. haha.

SO COOL! I love being a youth! haha. And yeap. I love this season that I'm in. haha. And yeap. I know Daddy God will make me love all the seasons I'm in. hehe.

hehe. Anyway, talking about cute guys. Dedication time! haha.

OHH!! I just love all the cutiies! haha.

I love cute and handsome Zacheus. His sweet looks, blacky hair and blacky pupil that are just so cute. He's such a sweetie pie. Oohh. Jesus, just bless him abundantly like never before. Bless him with all the cutiie toys he likes, let him grow up to be such a man of God. :D

I love sweetie and handsome Marcus. He's such a sweetheart!! He hugs me like a zillion times. haha. Okay, that's like too much. lols. But he's SO sweett!! He hugs me when I asked for one. Oohh. He just melts my heart loh. SO sweet and lovely.

Daddy, bless him abundantly Lord. Guard his heart and make him feel Your love so real. Growing up to be a man of God, such a gentleman. haha.

You know he's so cute! haha. I think I was just telling him, "Marcus, you're so sweet (or was it cute or did I tell him I love him? haha. either one. haha!)" Then he asked me, "Why?" I didn't know like what or how to say it but I just said, "Because I see Jesus in you!" And he gave me this sweet shy smile. OooHh~ Doesn't that melt your heart. I mean a 3-year old actually knows, understands and feels God's love so real and tangible leh! Praise Jesus. haha.

Last dedication for today is to Leora! haha. I don't know why but her face keep popping into my mind. Jesus, bless this sweetiepie's heart. Let her grow up in Your ways. Let her feel Your love so real. Guard her heart for she is SO precious to You. Bless her Lord, bless her. Just because You love her dearly. She's such a princess of God. :D

Jesus, I thank You for all the lives You've allowed me to be part of. And I just love being there for the sweethearts. They're just so precious to You loh. haha.

I LOVE BEING A YOUTH! haha. I really believe this is the best time to give your life and time to Jesus, to live your dreams in Him. haha. Do not despise your youth for the Lord had called you from your mother's womb. While you were yet formed, He had fashioned your days, for you, to be wonderful and glorious in Christ. :D Your life can only be full and satisfied when Jesus is in it. Satisfaction is of the Lord. :D

Jesus is doing MIGHTY things in our midst. And I'm so glad I'm part of it! And Jesus has great things in store for me. Just for me, just because He loves me.

My mighty God saves. :D
Jesus adores ME. haha.

Jesus is GOOD. :D

2006-08-21T00:31:00.000+08:00

haha. We're standing on higher grounds. Made for greater things. Loved by the greatest Love; the Source of love. haha.

Crowned with glory and honor, we're never the same again. :D Because Jesus loves me, I am where I am today. I thank God for great destiny. I thank God for favor. I thank God for great things He's doing in my life. :D

I must say it again and I will always say that I live and breathe by the grace of God. I might not have it all together on the outside. I might not always be obedient. But I thank You Jesus that You love me enough to correct me! hehe. And I thank You that You always believe the best of me. :D

I thank You that You made me worthy by Your blood. I thank You for Your finished work. hehe. Feel so blessed! *loved* hehe.

haha. I feel Jesus is telling me again and again that, He loves me and made me for great things. hehe. You know sometimes Jesus tell me about certain things but I'll like, errr... don't do it or go the other way? haha. Would you feel condemned if that happens? haha. Don't ever man! haha.

Because Jesus is saying again and again that the call He has for you in your life, noone else can live it for you; He wouldn't make a second you to lead that life He meant for you.

Mistakes that you make in life, even a time of disobedient would not stop God from using you.

You see in the story of Jonah, even though Jonah was disobedient to God at first; not wanting to go to Nineveh, God didn't say, "Oh! You don't wanna listen to me is it? Okay. You BURN!". haha. *drama ah. hehe.* That didn't happen!

But instead Jesus loved Jonah more than enough to correct him and even use him again. :D

Jonah 3:1-3
1 Now the word of the LORD came to Jonah the second time, saying,
2 "Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and preach to it the message that I tell you."
3 So Jonah arose and went to Nineveh, according to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceedingly great city, a three-day journey in extent.

And the next chapter shows about how is God like.

Jonah 4:2
... for I know that You are a gracious and merciful God, slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness, One who relents from doing harm.

The above is part of the conversation/complaint of Jonah to God. haha.

Jesus is a merciful God. A God of many chances.

Proverbs 3:11-12
11 My son, do not despise the chastening of the LORD,
Nor detest His correction;
12 For whom the LORD loves He corrects,
Just as a father the son in whom he delights.

He corrects you because He believes the best of you and wants you to live to your fullest potential. :D

1 Corinthians 13:7-8 (Amplified Bible)
7 Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, and it endures everything [without weakening].
8 Love never fails [never fades out or becomes obsolete or comes to an end].

Then Who is Love?

1 John 4:8-10
8 He who does not love has not become acquainted with God [does not and never did know Him], for God is love.
9 In this the love of God was made manifest (displayed) where we are concerned: in that God sent His Son, the only begotten or [f]unique [Son], into the world so that we might live through Him.
10 In this is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation (the atoning sacrifice) for our sins.

Hey hey hey! God is love! And He believes the BEST in you, the BEST of you. hehe.

Even in the new testament, there's a picture for that:

Mark 16:14-15
14 Later He appeared to the eleven as they sat at the table; and He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen Him after He had risen.
15 And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.

You see, after Jesus corrected them, He asked them to go into all the world and preach the gospel! hehe.

Okay. I want to clear this idea of like, God send sickness and disease or anything bad to teach people lessons! Oh please! haha. All these dirty things ain't of God! No condemnation if you're sick or anything but know that it's never God's will for you because the bible says, "By Jesus' stripes you were healed." And God is on your side; for you! :D

Okay so you might ask, "Then how does God correct us?"

My answer, "By His Word."

You want scriptures for that? hehe. Even if you say No, I'll still show it. haha. Praise Jesus. He gave me the grace to find the verse. Thank You Jesus. :D

2 Timothy 3:16 (Amplified Bible)
Every Scripture is God-breathed (given by His inspiration) and profitable for instruction, for reproof and conviction of sin, for correction of error and discipline in obedience, [and] for training in righteousness (in holy living, in conformity to God's will in thought, purpose, and action),

2 Timothy 3:14-17 (Message Bible)
14-17 But don't let it faze you. Stick with what you learned and believed, sure of the integrity of your teachers—why, you took in the sacred Scriptures with your mother's milk! There's nothing like the written Word of God for showing you the way to salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. Every part of Scripture is God-breathed and useful one way or another—showing us truth, exposing our rebellion, correcting our mistakes, training us to live God's way. Through the Word we are put together and shaped up for the tasks God has for us.

hehe. Praise Jesus yea. :D

I love what pastor shared today ((sunday)) and on thursday bible study. Pastor shared a lil about correction. That when God or leaders correct you, it's not you that he's against but he's correcting your actions because he believe you can do much better; because he believes the best of you, all because HE loves you. :D

See God as a good God and that's giving glory to God; to Jesus. :D

Jesus is King.
He always will be.
Jesus LOVES me. :D

Jesus.

2006-08-20T00:17:00.000+08:00

Jesus, I thank You for divine favor.

Jesus, I thank You for making Your love so real and tangible to me.

Jesus, I thank You that Your love empower me to love. :D

Jesus loves ME! hehe. I mean The World to Jesus. :D

Jesus,
A date with You.

On favor ground I stand.

2006-08-16T14:23:00.000+08:00

haha. Despite all, I believe I'm standing on favor ground and great things are coming my way! hehe. People are waiting to bless me because I am the child of the Most High God. Favor is upon me. Blessings are coming from all directions. :D

haha. This morning I slipped and nearly fell when alighting the bus. But thank God Jesus caught me. hehe.

Then I was late for my paper. Didn't miss much though cause my God didn't shortchange me. haha. But to be very frank, in the train my heart is like pounding so hard! haha. Thank God for elevators in school. lols.

Then when I was doing the paper, I got so tensed up and it just felt like dark clouds are hovering over me. haha.
But yes Lord, I believe in Your favor. I believe I'm standing on favored ground. And I thank You for assuring me and thank You for Your Shalom Peace that surpasses all understanding. lols.

I received letter saying I didn't pay school fees. Boohoohoo! haha.

BIG blessings are coming my way. :D

My God is greater than all and He loves me. :D

Jesus, You put a smile on my face, a skip to my step. Loves. :D

Book of Jonah

2006-08-15T16:59:00.000+08:00

haha. I saw again the faithfulness, the mercy, and the love of our God. *sweet*

haha. I was reading the book of Jonah. It just touched me. There's a few stuff that I want to mention because it caught me. :D

Jonah 2:8 (NKJV)
Those who regard worthless idols
Forsake their own Mercy.

Jonah 2:8 (Amplified Bible)
Those who pay regard to false, useless, and worthless idols forsake their own [Source of] mercy and loving-kindness.

Can you see? It's not even God who forsake those who regard those idols. It's them who forsake Him. :( hehe.

haha. Then Jonah 3:10 onwards till the end of the book is very funny and also very sweet. haha.

Actually the book of Jonah is about Daddy God asking Jonah to go to Nineveh to ask the people there to repent but Jonah is unwilling to go so he ran away (in a ship. haha).

Then God sent the big waves and the big fish to swallow Jonah. Jonah 2 is also a picture of Jesus in Shoel, carrying our judgment. Jonah prayed and thank God for taking care of him. haha. And he made mentioned of something - "Salvation is of the LORD."

haha. Then in Jonah 3, Jonah heed the word of God, entered Nineveh and preached a one sentence message (goes to show his willingness. haha.) and the people repented. :D

Jonah 3:10, 4:1-11
10 Then God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God relented from the disaster that He had said He would bring upon them, and He did not do it.

Jonah's Anger and God's Kindness

1 But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he became angry.

haha. So funny. Jonah was angry because God did not want to bring the disaster upon Nineveh. haha! Then he prayed to God, complaining say why he didn't want to come in the first place; because he know God is a merciful God who loves! hehe.

2 So he prayed to the LORD, and said, "Ah, LORD, was not this what I said when I was still in my country? Therefore I fled previously to Tarshish; for I know that You are a gracious and merciful God, slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness, One who relents from doing harm.
3 Therefore now, O LORD, please take my life from me, for it is better for me to die than to live!"

haha. Then Jonah wants to play truant with God, saying that it'll be better for him to die! haha.

Daddy God is so gracious. Really. I mean all these took place even before Jesus came. Even before Jesus came, people can walk in such close fellowship with God; talking to Him like best friends. How much more now we're the righteousness of God in Christ! Talk to Him like a lil child. Talk to Him like our best Friend because He is. We are children of the Most High God. :D

4 Then the LORD said, "Is it right for you to be angry?"
5 So Jonah went out of the city and sat on the east side of the city. There he made himself a shelter and sat under it in the shade, till he might see what would become of the city.
6 And the LORD God prepared a plant and made it come up over Jonah, that it might be shade for his head to deliver him from his misery. So Jonah was very grateful for the plant.
7 But as morning dawned the next day God prepared a worm, and it so damaged the plant that it withered.
8 And it happened, when the sun arose, that God prepared a vehement east wind; and the sun beat on Jonah's head, so that he grew faint. Then he wished death for himself, and said, "It is better for me to die than to live."
9 Then God said to Jonah, "Is it right for you to be angry about the plant?" And he said, "It is right for me to be angry, even to death!"

10 But the LORD said, "You have had pity on the plant for which you have not labored, nor made it grow, which came up in a night and perished in a night.
11 And should I not pity Nineveh, that great city, in which are more than one hundred and twenty thousand persons who cannot discern between their right hand and their left - and much livestock?"

haha. I separated the last two verses because I saw something beautiful here.

Jonah has pity on the plant which he had not labored, nor made it grow, which came up and perished in a night. And Jesus said should He not pity Nineveh then?

But it caught me thinking, and it seems like God is saying, "I have labored and made the people in Nineveh grow." We're all God's creation. And God loves all. His desire is for all men to be saved. :D

1 Timothy 2:3-4
3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,
4 who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

It's like Jesus saying, "Go tell nations about my finished work. I labored and sweat on the cross for them, all because I love them. I am a merciful God, full of compassion."

haha. I like the book of Jonah. Because it's short, sweet and funny. Showing that even when you don't have it altogether, God can still use you. haha.

Jesus loves.
Jesus saves.

I'm having fun. :D

2006-08-15T13:01:00.000+08:00

I soar on high on the wings of my Savior.

I believe in the favor of God upon my life.

I enjoy preferential treatment because I am the child of the Most High God.

I expect great things to happen to me because Jesus loves me.

I rest in the finished work of Jesus.

I believe in the salvation of all men. It's in the bible. It's the Savior's desire.

I believe Jesus died and rose again & today is sitting at the right hand of Daddy God Almighty.

I enjoy the favor and blessings and love that Daddy shower upon Jesus.

I rest & I rest in the finished work of Jesus & the everlasting love of my Abba Father.

haha. Okay. I had fun typing. Hope you had fun reading. hehe.

Jesus loves you dearly. And do you know that you mean The world to Jesus? He came and died for you. Believe and receive. It is finished. Victory is won, salvation is secured, life is to be enjoyed. :D

Woo. Jesus, I rest in YOU. hehe.

Jesus loves me.
I am The world to Jesus. :D

Walk with God. You're righteous IN Christ.

2006-08-14T00:13:00.000+08:00

Jesus loves margy! haha.

Jesus, I thank You that the life that I live, I live for You. :D I thank You that I would not need to try to impress others or even myself. I thank You that the gifts and calling in my life is irrevocable. I thank You that You love me enough to correct me. Thank You Jesus. haha.

Romans 11:29
For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.

haha. I thank God for each day that I live, I rest only in Jesus and His finished work. That I would not need to do anything to deserve God's blessings nor His favor. haha. It's tiring trying to lead a life to impress others, especially men. haha.

Proverbs 29:25
The fear of man brings a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD shall be safe.

haha. Don't worry yea. Don't need to see people's face to lead your life. Depend and trust in the LORD; depend on the grace of God. Even when you don't deserve it, you can still expect good things to happen to you because Jesus blesses you according to His grace!

Don't strive yea. Don't stress. haha. Jesus, I thank You for a peaceful spirit. :D

1 Peter 3:3-5 (Amplified Bible)
3 Let not yours be the [merely] external adorning with [elaborate] [a] interweaving and knotting of the hair, the wearing of jewelry, or changes of clothes;

4 But let it be the inward adorning and beauty of the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible and unfading charm of a gentle and peaceful spirit, which [is not anxious or wrought up, but] is very precious in the sight of God.

5 For it was thus that the pious women of old who hoped in God were [accustomed] to beautify themselves and were submissive to their husbands [adapting themselves to them as themselves secondary and dependent upon them].

Isaiah 30:15
15 For thus said the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel: In returning [to Me] and resting [in Me] you shall be saved; in quietness and in [trusting] confidence shall be your strength....

haha. Jesus, I thank You for great leaders. :D

haha. Today pastor preached about:: sin in the flesh is already condemened.

Romans 8:3 (NKJV)
For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh,

And what is condemned ceases to exist in God's eyes. haha.

Sin in the flesh is simply like the raising up of lustful thoughts, evil thoughts from the flesh. haha. Though we're born again! New creations! The flesh can't be cast away until we get our new immortal bodies when Jesus return.

haha. You know sometimes when you look at a beautiful girl (this illustration is for guys k. haha.) then maybe a lustful thought just pop up from nowhere. haha. Or even thoughts of envy or jealousy or even angry. Don't get condemned by these thoughts yea. Just carry on, worshipping God and fellowshipping with Him because these thoughts ain't yours. It's the flesh's. haha.

Romans 8:3 (Amplified Bible)
3 For God has done what the Law could not do, [its power] being weakened by the flesh [[a]the entire nature of man without the Holy Spirit]. Sending His own Son in the guise of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, [God] condemned sin in the flesh [[b]subdued, overcame, [c]deprived it of its power over all who accept that sacrifice],(B)

Hebrews 10:1-4 (NKJV)
1 For the law, having a shadow of the good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with these same sacrifices, which they offer continually year by year, make those who approach perfect.
2 For then would they not have ceased to be offered? For the worshipers, once purified, would have had no more consciousness of sins.
3 But in those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year.
4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats could take away sins.

haha. They offer the same sacrifices year after year because it is NOT possible by the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. If the sacrifices had worked, being able to make the worshippers perfect, they would stop offering those sacrifices!

Hebrews 10:9-14 (NKJV)
9 then He said, "Behold, I have come to do Your will, O God." [a] He takes away the first that He may establish the second.
10 By that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

Christ's Death Perfects the Sanctified

11 And every priest stands ministering daily and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.
12 But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God,
13 from that time waiting till His enemies are made His footstool.
14 For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.

haha. However, by ONE offering of Jesus He scantified and forever perfected those who accept His sacrifice! haha.

Romans 4:24-25 (NKJV)

24 but also for us. It shall be imputed to us who believe in Him who raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead,

25 who was delivered up because of our offenses, and was raised because of our justification.

Hebrews 1:3 (NKJV)
who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself[a] purged our[b] sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

Jesus is raised and seated on high, at the right hand of Daddy God because of our justification! Because His work is complete! Because our sins are purged (flushed out; no more!). haha.

All these petty thoughts from the flesh can NEVER stop us nor condemn us from coming to Jesus' presence, to Daddy's presence because this sin in the flesh has been overcame, deprived it of its power over all who accept that sacrifice (Jesus). These thoughts can never condemn us and cause us not be able to enjoy the fellowship with Jesus.

If you have accepted Jesus as your Lord and SAVIOR, then you should not ever feel condemned by whatever bad thoughts that comes along the way, in your daily walk with Jesus! Because His sacrifice is perfect. And by His sacrifice, we are confident to stand in Daddy's presence!

Oh praise Jesus. As I was blogging, I realised it really takes God's wisdom and not men's wisdom to preach Jesus. haha. And I pray that the Word that God shared through me, the Holy Spirit would do the sozo-ing, confirming it with signs and wonders. :D

Oh ya! Yesterday Campus pastor shared that, to look to God actually is simply to look to the God of love. To look to the God who is Love. Jesus is love personified. haha. Rest in His love. Rest in Him. :D

Blessings~
Jesus loves! :D

.Blessed

2006-08-11T18:07:00.000+08:00

haha. Just now I was trying to blog but to no avail as you can see there's no other post for today besides this. haha.

So I decided to explore other ppl's blog. haha. I clicked on bokky's blog and wanted to read her oolllddddeeerrr posts. haha. Then very interesting you know. Cos I clicked her archives for December 2005 then the blogskin changed! haha. So I decided to explore and see if mine would change. But it didn't. :( haha.

haha. But no worries! No sad sad cos I started reading my own posts from the past! haha.

That day I read guan's blog and she was saying she did that and how she realised she've grown. And as I was reading that post of hers, I was telling myself one day I'll go read my older posts too. hehe. And that "one day" is today! haha.

I love the simplicity and the joy that I had *and still having* when I blogged in the past. To just see Christ and Christ alone exalted. haha. I didn't read finish everything. Realised it's kind of long. haha. I got stucked at Decemeber 2005. Will start on January 2006, some other day. haha.

I really believe that the hunger I had and still having for Jesus is not of myself but it's God-given. Thank God for placing anointed leaders in my life to remind me that. haha.

Because I still remember it was coach han who told me that my hunger for Jesus is God-given. And on that very day before I met him, I was struggling, thinking that I have to maintain that hunger I have for Jesus. When actually the hunger is from Him and He will maintain & fill it up. haha. Thank You Jesus.

To be frank, sometimes when I see people around me grow, I will stop and ask myself, "Have I grown?" haha.

But I realised and I thank God that the blessings and the anointing of God upon me are increasing each day. That the path of the just will shine ever brighter unto the perfect day. :D Daddy always improve. His blessings are ever greater. :D

Jesus, I thank You that You bless me more than I can ever ask or think. That this year will the best year of my life! haha.

-------------------

Really want to share about what pastor preach on sunday as well as yesterday. And not to forget what coach han shared on tuesday night. I'm so blessed by all the sharing. That everytime when I hear a sermon, I see Jesus in a new light and I know Him more and more. :D

I love what pastor lian shared on sunday. She shared about looking to God and what does it actually means to look to God. :D

What I received after I talked to HK at nursery that sunday was to hold on to His Word and His promises. That even when things ain't going smoothly, don't give up because Jesus is true to His Word and the promises of God in Christ are yes, and in Christ amen. haha.

Pastor started by using music and dance movements as illustration. That we can only flow smoothly with the movements if the music is right. And it's simply a picture of right believing (music) produces right living (dance movement). haha. It's not about what we do on the outside but it's really about what we believe on the inside.

Listen and keep on listening for faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of Christ. *Romans 10:17*

I believe if you want breakthroughs, it starts from your imagination/heart. That when you have a right picture in your heart, it would break forth into your circumstances.

For out of the abundance of heart, the mouth speaketh.

Luke 6:45
A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.

Woo!! I love to share. haha. Was so coped up, thinking and scared to say the wrong things but I believe all that I set my hands to do shall prosper because I am the righteousness of God in Christ. haha. Even when I do make mistake, I depend on Daddy's undeserved favor. Favor that is undeserved, unearned, unmerited. :D I believe I will grow, even through corrections. :D hehe. Thank You Jesus.

haha. Start listening to sermons that exalt Jesus. Read the bible and see the goodness of God. That Jesus goes about doing good, healing all who are oppressed. *Acts 10:38*. God is a GOOD God. You see. Even the word good & God is so close. haha.

Okay. And pastor lian also touched a lil about tithing. That we tithe because we know God loves us and He will take care of us. This is really so precious to me. Because sometimes I will tithe, worried. But you know what? When you honor God with your tithe, knowing that His love for you faileth not, Daddy will put on His garang armor and do everything to make sure money will swim/fly/run/zoom to you. haha.

ALL BECAUSE HE LOVES YOU!!

Don't try to make Him love you cos He already does. Just receive His love for you. :D

And from that service, I received that I don't depend on my works but on the mercy of God, on Jesus. Jesus and His finished work alone. haha.

I know week in week out pastor has been preaching about it. But it's really different when you know it in the head and when you believe it in the heart. When crunch time comes, it's really what you believe in YOUR heart that matters. haha.

Ohhh~ How Jesus loves me so. haha.

Then comes tuesday's Praise & Worship night! Woohoo! haha.

Coach shared that we're already blessed. Not waiting to be blessed, not going to be blessed but ALREADY blessED. haha. And it's not because we have LV bag, Dior wallet, Chanel sunglasses though we are blessed with it. haha. But because Jesus died on the cross 2000 years ago that today, you and I can boldly say that we are in right standing with God because of Jesus' finished work.

And yeap. Coach shared about Making.A.Difference as well. That there must be an inward transformation first then will there be an outward demostration. Believe, believe that you're already blessed because of Jesus' finished work.

Whatever things that you do, be it big or small, will make a difference in people's life. Be it as simple as giving up your seat to an old man, saying thank you to the waitress, you are making a difference. haha. Start small. :D And soon you'll see yourself touching people's lives, knowing that because God first made a difference in your life.

And whatever that you give, the portion you had may seem subtracted or divided but know that it is more blessed to give than to receive from people.

Proverbs 11:24-25
24 There is one who scatters yet increases more; and there is one who withholds more than is right, but it leads to poverty.
25 The generous soul will be made rich, and he who waters will be watered himself.

I think the verses above really speak for finances. :D

Then is yesterday's bible study. haha.

Pastor Lawrence preached about something simple yet very very powerful. The grace of God.

Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

haha. I have all things by the grace of God. The favor that is unearned, unmerited, undeserved. haha. Even when I blow it, I can still experience and expect the goodness of God because Daddy God deals with me according to His grace; undeserved favor.

John 1:14
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

haha. Don't depend on your works nor your deeds. Depend solely on the grace of God. haha.

Luke 18:9-14
9 Also He spoke this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:
10 "Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, 'God, I thank You that I am not like other men - extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax collector.
12 I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I possess.'
13 And the tax collector, standing afar off, would not so much as raise his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful to me a sinner!'
14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted."

haha. If you've read the verses, you would realise the contrast. One, the pharisee, comes with the mentality and dependence on his good works and charitable deeds. While the other, the tax collector, came with only one dependence, the mercy of God. haha. However the one who humbled himself and depended on God's mercy went away justified and exalted.

haha. We come into the Father's presence solely by grace. :D
Woo. And God's favor will make on good looking. haha. *Genesis 39:2-6*

haha. Okay. This is like the longest post this year. lols. More to come. HAHA!

Margaret depends on Jesus' favor &
Rest in Jesus' love. :D

Blessings~

P.S.:It takes God to make you finish reading this. haha! Surely the Lord is with you. lols.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE

2006-08-09T15:14:00.000+08:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE!!!

Daddy's hand is upon this nation & she shall continue to prosper because Jesus is Lord of this country. :D

Margy thank God for a peaceful and harmonious Singapore. :D

Jesus loves margaret the most-est. haha.

haha. Yesterday's poly cluster event was really cool. We played some games, coach shared the Word and then we had praise & worship. :D

And I realised, during the praise & worship, I really let loose and praise Jesus. haha. It really felt so good. haha. Then after the event, coach sat me down and talked to me.

He asked me bout the night and I told him that I really had fun because I really let loose and just praise Jesus. Then he asked a question that I didn't have the answer to. haha. He asked me, "Why?". haha. He asked me what made me let loose, praise Jesus and have fun. Was it the games, the Word, the praise & worship or what? haha.

To be frank, I was a lil stunned. Because no one asked me this question before. haha. And at that point, to me it's like, let loose then let loose loh. Have fun then have fun loh. haha. It's more of like because I want to have fun & let loose that's why I had fun & let loose? haha.

But after talking to coach, I realised, it's the Word of God that sets me free. It's the Word of God that sozo me. I shall know the truth (Jesus) and the truth (Jesus) shall set me free. And who the Son sets free is free indeed. It's the Word of God that made me realised that when I come to worship Jesus, I come not with the mentality to beg Him for blessings but because I'm already blessed. *cool right? haha.*

Hmm.. It's really time to stop thinking whether doing this is right or doing that is wrong. But to realised that the will of God in my life is for me to rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks. (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18)

Jesus' heart is really for me to enjoy life and be happy. Everyday He thinks of nothing but ME and how He can pop surprises in my life to just put a smile on my face. :))

Jesus, I thank You that You love me and kabad me.

Jesus always go the extra mile. That though He had already made me righteous but He don't just stop there but He gave me His Holy Spirit to constantly remind me of my righteousness in Christ when I forget. Thank You Jesus.

My life belongs to You & You alone. :D

Jesus' finished work, Jesus' sacrifice on the cross made everything possible.

Hebrews 10:10, 12-14
10 By that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

12 But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God,
13 from that time waiting till His enemies are made His footstool.
14 For by one offereing He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.

Let God arise and all His enemies will scatter. Thank You Jesus.
Jesus' one sacrifice avails for all, forever. Thank You Jesus.

Even if I'm doing the stupidest thing and make the wrong-est move in life, I know Jesus still loves me. haha.

Haha. After so long, I realised that it's really not about knowing the bible from cover to cover. It's really not about what I do. It's about what I believe and who I say Jesus is. It's no point being able to quote so many verses (though knowing the verses is good & I must agree it is because the Word gives life but) if I don't know that Jesus loves me.

JESUS, my heart can smile because You love me and You love me best. haha.

End of the day, it is really Jesus that matters. My mind can't comprehen it, no it can't but I know and I know You are all I need. All because You love me. I wouldn't try Lord, I wouldn't even try. But I let You love me the way You know best.

Jesus, I might not know how or why or (blah blah blah) but I don't care. Jesus, I thank You and I just rest in You & Your everlasting love for me. :D

Just now I was reading someone's blog and he was talking about Singapore and that he wishes Singapore happy birthday, etc. But it really amazes me how he talk like he's talking to a person, about a person when he is actually talking about Singapore. haha. Okay. Like a bit no link here but I don't care. lols.

Jesus loves me MOST. :D
Your love for me changes my world. :D

IN Christ.

(: I was writing a card for my friend and I was ministered. haha. It's a cute garfield card that I bought! hehe. And the words were like ...

"I know things are tough right now, but jus remember... (open card) Every flower that ever bloomed had to go through a whole lot of dirt to get there!".

haha. I must say, I didn't buy the card because of the words but because it's GARFIELD! haha. No, it's not me who love garfield. It's my friend. haha. And as I was writing a lil message for her, I realised something ... haha.

You are THE flower & Jesus went through a whole lot of dirt at the cross to get you where you are. haha.

And you know where you are now? You're in Christ! In the promised land! haha. You are seated far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name to be named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come, IN Christ.

Ephesians 1:20-21 (NKJV)
20 which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places,
21 far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.

Ephesians 2:4-6 (NKJV)
4 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us,
5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),
6 and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,

It's not because I am so great that's why Jesus saved me. It's because His love is so great. Lean and bang on His love that faileth not. :D He loved me with an everlasting love. For the bible tells me so~ Jesus is King and King is cool~ haha.

You were appointed to be in Him even before you were born.

Ephesians 1:4 (AMP)
Even as [in His love] He chose us [actually picked us out for Himself as His own] in Christ before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy (consecrated and set apart for Him) and blameless in His sight, even above reproach, before Him in love.

Jesus went through hell to let you enjoy all the blessings He has in stored for you.

2 Corinthians 5:21 (NKJV)
For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

2 Corinthians 5:21 (AMP)
For our sake He made Christ [virtually] to be sin Who knew no sin, so that in and through Him we might become [endued with, viewed as being in, and examples of] the righteousness of God [what we ought to be, approved and acceptable and in right relationship with Him, by His goodness].

Jesus, I thank You that You love me. hehe. You're King of my life, King of my heart. Thank You! *BIG SMILE* Your love faileth not.

I open my heart to You.

haha. I saw a blogskins with a super cute picture!! SO cute can! haha. http://blogskins.com/info/101337

haha. Wanted to change my template. But I don't really like background to be white. haha. But yeap. It's so cute! haha. Anyone wanna make a cute blogskin for me? hehe. Tomorrow I'm gonna go nursery and get blessed! haha. Praise Jesus.

When I got home yesterday ((friday)), I wanted to blog but was kind of sleepy so I gave up. haha.

Thursday as I was walking home, I was like thinking about stuff, talking to Jesus, etc. I was feeling like, life is a bit normal now? haha. Like life is not as exciting as before. Then I heard a voice on the inside like, "hmm... like very long never trust Daddy God for things le." haha. Then I went like, "But I thought I just trust and thank God that I am righteous that I got everything already what. Why still must ask?" haha.

About 2 weeks ago ...

I asked about, "why must we ask Daddy to bless us even when Daddy knows what we want and that He is all wise so He should know what and how to bless us?" haha. Didn't really ask anyone about it. Hmm... I THINK I asked Jesus but I'm not sure. haha.

Then yesterday I asked des and charis bout it. Shall summarise and talk about what I received. hehe.

It's simply the fun and joy of asking and seeing Daddy bring things come to pass. That even when I seek the blessings of Daddy, I would meet Him.

Don't feel condemned when you ask God to bless you because when you ask Him to bless you, you would meet Him. Don't think that you would change your focus to want things instead of Him because when you ask Him for blessings, it's Him you'll meet and seek. Because you will see His faithfulness and know that He's always there with you.

And, who says if God just keep blessing you without you asking, you would look to Him? haha. Daddy would never place you in a place where you would not need Him. (quoted from steve).

It is our privilege as children of the Most High God to ask Him for blessings. Don't be afraid to ask. Don't be afraid to expect. Keep asking and keep expecting because it is your blood bought right and privilege to blessings and answered prayer! Jesus paid the price for answered prayers and gave the purchased deed to the blessed (us) when He died on the cross.

Pray expecting Him to answered because Jesus is your righteousness.

Jesus would not intrude into your life to bless you. He would not force you to be blessed. Place your trust in Him and open your heart to Him. Let Him make a difference in your life. :D

Daddy, I thank You for emotions and feelings. :D I thank You that Your love for my faileth not. Despite my feelings, I know that You would never leave me nor forsake me. I thank You that You are my righteousness and nothing I do can stop You from love me.
Daddy, I thank You that You secure my heart. :D Yes Dad, with every attack, I know I would only grow stronger and closer to You. Oh~ How I love this fellowship and communion I share with You.

Margaret - the girl whom Jesus loves and desires greatly. :D

So Blessed!

2006-07-31T00:33:00.000+08:00

haha. Praise the Lord. Feel so blessed.

Daddy, I thank You for favor. I thank You that You gave me this privilege to be part of Your beloveds' lives. I thank You that You have blessed me and is continuing to bless me so abundantly each day. :D

haha. Yesterday I went for Children's Church ASG and I was really blessed by what was shared by pastor chin and a sister who received the long service award. Praise the Lord! haha.

As the sister was sharing, Daddy just flash back memories of how I used to so enjoy serving Him, out of the fullness and the overflow He has given me. haha.
Those feelings just came back to me -- How I just love the children because Daddy so loves me. Because of the fullness I felt in my heart, I can't help but want to pour it out to the lil champions! haha.

Thank You Lord that You are working IN me, through me. haha. I just feel so so blessed.

I forgot who but someone shared bout feeling the dryness of serving. haha! It's like, so meant for me! lols. *Blessed* The person said something like, "When you feel serving becomes so mundane and dry, don't just give up and just leave the ministry like this. Why not stay on and see what blessings Daddy would bring out of it?". haha.

My part is simply to rest and receive, His part is to do the miracle. :D

The sharings of yesterday and and what pastor prince preached today ((sunday)) really blessed me. haha. Pastor talked about a few things. But I would just like to share on one that really touched my heart and I really feel that Daddy is talking to me bout it. :D

Matthew 19:29 (NASB)
"And (AB)everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or farms for My name's sake, will receive many times as much, and will inherit eternal life.

Mark 10:29-31 (NKJV)
29 So Jesus answered and said, "Assuredly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My sake and the gospel's

30 "who shall not receive a hundredfold now in this time - houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with presecutions - and in the age to come, eternal life.

31"But many who are first will be last, and the last, first."

haha. Feel so blessed when pastor shared about this. That when I serve the Lord, I would not need to worry if I have spent enough time with my family. But when I give my time to Jesus, Jesus can take the lil that I have and multiply it back to me, exceedingly abundantly above all I ask or think. hehe. Daddy would not shortchange anyone! Daddy is debtor to NO man. haha. :D

Thank You Lord.
Thank You for Your presence in my life.
It makes a world of difference to my world. :D
Loves.

Woohoo! Time to orh orh ((sleep)) already. :D
Blessings to all because Jesus is King.

2006-07-27T13:35:00.000+08:00

Daddy wonderous, thank You for being so patient and loving towards me. Daddy magnificent, thank You for Jesus. I thank You that because Jesus went through all the pain, lil margaret can now enjoy all the gain. :D

haha. Daddy loves margaret dearly and always. Never will once Daddy turn His face against margaret because Jesus lovely made all things possible by His blood. That today margaret doesn't need to see nor go through the down side of life. :D

Daddy, thank You for placing lovely people all around me to show me Your awesome love for me through them. Daddy, I thank You for You, for Love, for Hope, for Everything - Jesus. :D

Daddy God is awesome and He is gentle and kind. haha. He's BIG yet He's gentle. He's powerful yet He's compassionate. He's all wise yet He humbled Himself. This is my Jesus and my Jesus loves and saves. :D

For Your love is better than wine.
For Your love is better than life.

All undeserved, unearned, not worked for.
Never the same with You in my life.
I don't have to try, I don't have to cry but because You love, You gave. :D
I'll sing praises to You, all the days of my life. yeah! haha.

I ride on this love wave You have for me. The high tide of love and passion that never lowers down even when I grumble and was nasty towards You.
For You know what's best for me and I REST the rest of faith. haha!
This is the day the Lord has made. I will rejoice and be glad in it. :D

Don't try. ;)

2006-07-25T10:19:00.000+08:00

haha. I'm in school now!! hehe. Didn't go for first lesson. hehe.

Daddy, though I feel the pain and it seems so real. I thank You that Your Word says, by HIS stripes I am healed. :D I qalal the natural and thank You for the finished work. :D

hee. Just want to share a lil. Today I woke up and received sms from princess. Then I heard Daddy tell me, "Don't try. Just be, 'cause you are." haha. I'm not sure if it's a voice. Think it's more of a knowing on the inside. haha.

I was just trying and trying. haha. And I thank Daddy God for placing leaders in my life; to speak life into me, to remind me and bring me back to Jesus. Thank You Jesus. :D

Margaret, time to relax and let Daddy's super abounding undeserved favor to flow. :D Think it's really really time to look at things from the heaven point of view. ;)

Don't try to be conscious of Jesus, just be.
Don't try to be happy, just be.
Don't try to love people, just love.
Don't try to fellowship with God, just fellowship.
Don't try, don't try.

haha. All these are our portion. All these are the privileges we enjoy because Jesus is our big Brother. You don't try to be righteous because in Christ you are righteous. You don't have to try to be happy because in Christ you are happy. You don't try to be rich because in Christ you are rich. You don't try to be special and unique because in Christ you are special and unique. You don't try to have fellowship with God because in Christ you enjoy this fellowship with Daddy God.

The bold word is Don't try. haha. Stop trying to get to somewhere you already are at. Stop trying to have something you already have.

Why not try giving thanks instead. :D

Love love.
Unique & called for greatness.
