Acknowledging Him & Declaring He Reigns !!
9/6/2008

be more & more like HIM today ..

all Christians carry an identity in us - an identity that reflect Christ. to imitate HIM does require some effort; start working on it today n persist on it, because it's a matter of getting use to - to change n to influence the lives around you ... you must first adopt this changes to yourself. 
 
start today n adopt qualities that Christ have n be blessed =)
 

Philippians 2:5-11 

Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:   
Who, being in very nature God, 
did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, 
but made himself nothing, 
taking the very nature of a servant, 
being made in human likeness. 
And being found in appearance as a man, 
he humbled himself 
and became obedient to death— 
even death on a cross!  
Therefore God exalted him to the highest place 
and gave him the name that is above every name,  
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, 
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,  
and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, 
to the glory of God the Father.

the unseen paradise ...

gosh, it has been ages since i've been on this ..

 

hav u ever wonder about ur life, a life is quite confined to where we r n doing so routine stuff .. kinda like u r in a box kinda feeling, detached from the outside world ... not knowing the that u can have more of life than juz living thru it day by day ?

 

imagine urself looking through a keyhole n through the keyhole u r looking at the most picturesque sight u have ever imagine – nicest blue skies and purest white clouds, birds flying and the greenest plains that u have ever scene … what peace that will filled u when u r looking at it … this is what we see by looking through a keyhole … the things that we r going to experience is juz a door away n y it’s so hard to grasp wat is beyond this door ?

 

this is where the disappointment comes ~~

 

bringing us back to reality … a lot of time in life we felt we r so stuffed and we felt that we r so limited to where we are at n wat we can do .. life have become so routine, work come home, do the norms and then head to bed, then comes the next day, gosh, the same things … is there anymore that juz that ?? Confused

 

lil did we know that we can have more than that … life isn’t juz being contained in a small room looking through a keyhole … but we can experience wat life will be like moving beyond this keyhole .. so much so life beyond tis felt like a normal square box television to a wow, a widescreen plasma tv ~

 

a lot of us r still searching for this key to open this door and get out of the norm routine life… and a lot of us will be weary and afraid when we opened this door - what will life be like – a lot of things have been planted in us that make us so afraid that wat life will be, if this step is taken which then make us so confined to where we r and we r so protective of ourselves that we rather sit and wait for things to happen – going where life’s taking us ...

 

UNCERTAINTY, DANGER, ETC ETC  all these going thru our minds daily that so much so most of us tend to procrastinate or not taking this step at all …

 

Ever wonder to urself – ‘hey, how come this person’s life is so ‘colourful’ Rainbow and there’s so much happening in his/her life that we somehow felt that we r missing out on something … something which can drive ur current life to a wider perspective … every life holds a key to open the door and experience wat this living can give us - the key of Life that everyone have dreamed of n this can be found only in our Creator …  which is GOD … life have been lifted to another level for me when I became a Christian … I went thru the life – trapped in a box n yearning to have a more than juz what I’m going thru, I want the life beyond this door and not only looking through the keyhole … I found this key .. n the Creator has opened this door for me ~ Open-mouthed

 

This life beyond this door is awesome … I still do the norm stuff but now there’s more to it … life is viewed at a completely different perspective … I found the colours and I start to paint my life … life began to have a meaning and a purpose …  no one will ever imagine … life falling into the rite places (that’s wat we want rite), meeting the rite ppl, doing wonderful n exciting things, going thru a trauma and waking up from it knowing that ‘ hey, I have learnt and these life most important lessons that and the wonderful thing of all is u know y the lesson is for.’, knowing y things happen in ways u thought never possible and experiencing wonders and miracles that can be so mind blasting – that makes ur heart skipped a beat when u thought of the miracles GOD has brought n still bringing into ur lives …

 

Who is this GOD ? ask urself today, what is life for me ? I took the first step from a black n white life to a life with colours and I believed many more colours will be added to my palette in time to come … the Psalm of David in Psalm 23 tells us that GOD is with us wherever and whatever we do and when He provides .. it’ll be in abundance … we have GOD we have no lack … this is HIS promise to us ...

Psalm 23

A psalm of David

1 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.

2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
       he leads me beside quiet waters,

3 he restores my soul.
       He guides me in paths of righteousness
       for his name's sake.

4 Even though I walk
       through the valley of the shadow of death,
       I will fear no evil,
       for you are with me;
       your rod and your staff,
       they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table before me
       in the presence of my enemies.
       You anoint my head with oil;
       my cup overflows.

6 Surely goodness and love will follow me
       all the days of my life,
       and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
       forever.

AMEN

~ have a blessed day ~ Smile

laying my future in HIS hands ...

another year has pass ... another year that i have been living in HIS embrace ~ looking back year 2007 ... it was an awesome year ... despite faced wif many challenges, emotional ups n downs, HIS love has never ceased even a second of my life ~ HE has never left me out of HIS sight ... i confessed that most of the times i'm the one who ventilate myself in this bubble of mine ~ away from God ~ during this time, being in my 'leave me alone' situation, i felt very strongly HIS unfailing love picking me from the shattered pieces of emotions ... n constant reminders that HE's by my side ...  

at times i find that i want alot of God n at times i will just shun away from HIM ... it's been much of struggle sometimes to keep things at a constant degree / to be at a balance ... i find myself always gripping n balancing myself wif a balancing pole n not to fall off to the ground ...
 
i was walking alone in singapore - trying to take a breather from episodes n events from 2007 ... God has spoke to me on n on as i read my bible ... HE's there to clear the questions that has been circling in my head all thruout (my self evaluation time wif GOD) ... i was sitting down in Raffles Place (waiting for my friend for dinner) ~ borrowing the light fr the nearby lamp and began to flip the pages of my bible .. i believed these r the answers to the questions that have resurface on n off looking back at the entire 2007 n this is where i wanna start building myself again from where i left it and from what God wants me to do ... i dun wanna act on my desires anymore .. but for God to act on it ... n for HIS will from HIM to be done thru me ...

I believe year 2008 is gonna be a year that I wanna make changes to myself for God (i wanna experience Him as much as i can in 2008, it may sound crazy for those reading this blog ~ but, i wanna tell u, HE is an awesome GOD, n i believe that it's gonna be a wonderful walk if u walk closely wif HIM - u muz really experience HIM) ... i believe this is the season where i need to take a step out leaving my comfort zone to see more of GOD and to shake myself out to the reality of my walk wif GOD ...  i believe that 2008 is a challenging year ... n i'm walking this year 2008 by faith ~ as i do not know wat lies ahead of me ... but, i believe that this will be the walk guided by HIM ... you'll never fall ... 
 
Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall.
Psalm 55:22

many things came to my head as i was planning to make all these changes ... it's so difficult to make decisions especially when u have brothers n sisters that cared for you so much ~ but, i guess i hav move out n to prioritise my time so that i can reach out ... the decision of spending less time is considered to be very difficult for me ... God spoke to me ... i felt that HE wants me to reach out to people n HE also allow me to see clearly wat i'm doing now ... being stagnant and comfortably stuck at one place ... a thought that came in very clear was "y r u standing there n looking at these people .. they r sad and lost ... can't you see all these people r all still in darkness...wat r u doing? " the words juz cut me thru n thru ... then God has confirmed all these in Roman 15:14~21 ... i felt HIS heart crying out for these lost souls n it's our duties here on earth to share HIS words and wonders that HE had come thru for us ...

 

Those who have never been told about him will see,
      and those who have never heard of him will understand.

Romans 15:21

 

For the Son of Man came to seek and save those who are lost.

Luke 19:10

 

so, let us reevaluate ourselves once again for year 2008 ... wat God wants us to do and wat r the plans HE have for us in 2008 ??

 

The man who plants and the man who waters have one purpose, and each will be rewarded according to his own labor. For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, God's building.

1 Corinthians 3:8~9

have a wonderful and fruitful 2008 ~ have a blessed day !! Wink

Hillsong - YOU are my world

this is wat i wanna do in 2008 .. the lyrics have spoken for me  ~
the lyrics for the song ~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My father I adore You more
Than anything my heart could wish for
I just want You
And Jesus my beloved savior
Everything I am I owe to You
I owe it all to You

And angels come and adore You
And we Your children worship You

You are my world
You are my God
And I lay down my life for You
You are my Lord
The one I love
No one could ever take Your place

And everything I have I give to You
My Lord, the One I live for
I live for You
And all my days are gifts from You
I pray Id use them as You want me to
Use them for You

And angels come and adore You
And we your children worship You

You are my world
You are my God
And I lay down my life for You
You are my Lord
The One I love
No one could ever take Your place

God's Tremendous & Everlasting Love

Romans 8:31-39

Nothing Can Separate Us from God’s Love


What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us? Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won’t he also give us everything else? Who dares accuse us whom God has chosen for his own? No one—for God himself has given us right standing with himself. Who then will condemn us? No one—for Christ Jesus died for us and was raised to life for us, and he is sitting in the place of honor at God’s right hand, pleading for us.
Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? (As the Scriptures say, “For your sake we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep.”

No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.
And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,
neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.

I was very encouraged by the entire context. I felt the love He has for all His children. He has put us in a position that are higher than every living thing on earth and in v.38-39, He affirmed it.

I felt that we must reposition our lives to know how important we are. And, by realizing our position, we will be at a better perspective of what God has for us and why He has chose us to do certain task (that sometimes it’s seen to be very tough to execute) and not someone else.

Living a Christian life doesn’t come easy – we have to face prosecutions like what Jesus faced. And, being in Jesus’s position He would have cried out to God (His Father) to end the prosecution right there and then and do not have to go through it at all. But, He did not because He knows that all of us have to go through these and by doing so He’s actually preparing the hearts of the people. And, by going through prosecutions; He wants the glory and wonders of God to be revealed to the non-believers and believers (to edify and build their faith) and tell them there’s a great God that will make sure that they are perfectly fine eventhough the prosecutions or trials sometime might seem so unbearable. God has sent His Son – to show us what His Son had gone through. And, choices have been given to every men on earth to choose to follow His Way eventhough ideally God will want all His children to come back to His side; which father would not want to see his children coming back to him).

Don’t be discouraged if there is any trial that is too hard to bear, because God is there to oversee everything and He’s with us at all times – to ensure that we will not be hurt ourselves because “we are his children, we are his heirs.” (v.17)
