P.S.
a Singaporean I know works in East Africa attached to The Rafiki Foundation
her name is Yeen-Lan, she has been featured on our local TV show "Find me a Singaporean"
here is her website http://www.rafiki-foundation.org/ros/Lam/lam.html if you want to know more ...

Incidentally I seached her out as one of my relatives wanted to make a contribution to help the starving children in Africa ...

I had always been for India for more than 20yrs on, yes, I agree with her ... India has prospered, and now it is time to look at Africa ...

Laying Hands on the Sick

18“The Spirit of the Lord is on me,
because he has anointed me
to preach good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners
and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed,

19to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”

21and he began by saying to them,
“Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.” Luke 4


Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received, freely give. Matt 10:8


the question is not “Can I?” but “Can He?” of course He can …

I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live;
yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which
I now live in the flesh
I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me,
and gave himself for me. Galations 2:20

I received a phone call from my aunt saying
she was having some stomach upset, vomited,
weak and could not walk properly …
she said it might be virus attack …
got it from her neighbour or something …

I went there, bought her some food, as it was Sunday afternoon,
the clinics were all closed, there was nothing much I could do …

Before I knocked her house’ door, I plead the blood of Christ
over the doorpost of her house…
I cleaned up her house a little and put the food aside for her to take later …
then I walked over to her bed where she was laying there,
laid hand and prayed over her

“Jesus, by Your stripes she is healed, no virus attack, no diarrhoea,
blood pressure and sugar levels return to normal. Amen”

and shortly after I left, she took the packet of noodles,
finished it with no stomach upset,
and she was able to go out with her friends
who were all waiting for her on the bus.
my aunt is in her 60s …

I must tell you what happened after
I went back around half past two in the afternoon …

I was worried, yes, worried … I was wondering how she was feeling …
I telephoned her around dinner time to check her out …
and no one came to answer the call …

I thought she was so weak that she could not
walk over to pick up the phone …
such was my faith …

so I waited and waited till she phoned me …
all the time I was still a little worried …
till I heard her voice and she told me about her excursion
and what have you …
and she asked if it was because I prayed for her …

all the time I was giving credit to the new pills
she took which her neighbour gave her before I arrived …
seems like she had more faith in my prayer and my God than I myself …

sometimes, it is not our faith, many times it is just not our faith, but
what really matters most is HIS FAITH, and our faithfulness to obey His voice
it was rather awkward because I am not a full time staff in a church,
nor a pastoral staff for that matter, and I seldom lay hands and heal the sick …
what an experience … and what a privilege …

let us not be weary of doing good …
and let us not be complacent that we do not even step out of our comfort zone
to just see how our loved ones are doing … or if they need any help …

17 And these signs will accompany those who believe:
In my name they will drive out demons;
they will speak in new tongues;

18 they will pick up snakes with their hands;
and when they drink deadly poison,
it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people,
and they will get well.” Matt 16:17,18

Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor. Proverbs 3:16

We bless our children by speaking praises and blessings over them
and laying hands on them blessing them with long life, riches and honor.

Jesus is wisdom personified, if we lay our hands as His hands on the sick
we are not only imparting long life, length of days
(everyday is a happy and fulfilling day in the Lord)
we are blessing them with riches and honor too.

New Mobile Phone

Today while I was on msn chat with a friend, I was asking her aboout a party she attended
and if she took any pictures at that party.

To my surprise, she did not take any pictures nor did she bring along any camera.

I was surprised because in this age of technology and what have you ...
I could not possibly imagine there was no camera with her ...

So I asked her if she remembered that she could take pictures with her mobile phone ...

And she told me a even more amazing reply ...

their family supports 5 mobile phone subscriptions ... and everytime a plan is up
they would subscribe or renew their plans and would get a brand new model mobile phone ...

however, the parents would get the oldest models and the kids would get the latest ...
so her mobile is one of the older models without a built-in camera ...

while chatting with her on line ...

I heard Abba speaking to me from within ...

EVEN A HUMAN PARENT could do such for their kids out of love for them
how much more ME ...

and she asked "who is "ME"? "

I told her my Father ... my God ...

HE is really gooooood ...

I just love Him ... enjoy Him for His love for me ...

and you too ...

enjoy Him ...

I blog of His love for me because He first loved me ...
I bother to tell many because I am indeed a recipient of His love for me ...

never lose sight of this ... because we are riding high because of His love for us ...
without His love ... we are indeed no where to be found ...

Cheers!

My Daddy loves Me, Me, Me

my girlfriend has a little doggie named Sweetie

she is so proud of Sweetie that she brings her around wherever she goes … well almost … to those places where animals are allowed of course …

she dresses Sweetie up … pink doggie blouse, pink ribbons and lacey doggie shoes (2 pairs, one pair for the front and one pair for the back) … now little Sweetie is ready to go …

on the basket of the bicycle Sweetie would go … and barks a friendly greeting to passers-by along the way …

boy was Sweetie loved … boy was my friend proud of Sweetie …

Sweetie has her own favourite toy … and feast on her favourite doggie meals … and wears her own favourite doggie “perfume” … what a darling to behold …

now Sweetie cannot do anything that would earn her keeps
neither does Sweetie need to go for the best doggie training to qualify her for the best doggie competition to be held in town this month end …

Sweetie is just simply being Sweetie … a happy little doggie that makes her owner happy … and all in the family loves Sweetie too …

Okay …i give it to you …

one day I heard my Daddy speaking to me …
asking me a very interesting question … which I had never heard before … no … never …

“My darling child, have you ever wondered how much I love you?”

“Do you know how precious you are in my eyes?”

“Do you know how proud I am of you?”

“Do you know how delightful I am when I am with you?”

“If you can see yourself as Sweetie and put yourself in her “doggie shoes” … you will know exactly how loved you are by Me. But of course I love you even more! “

through Sweetie, and from what He has spoken so recently to me about Sweetie, I have learnt to see myself as the apple of my Daddy’s eyes …

Yes, it is no longer how much I love my Daddy …
it is really a matter of how much I know He loves me …

Thank you Daddy!

Yes, I am Daddy’s little darling …

Now I realise how much You love me, and how much You long to provide everything for me …how You love me to come to You everyday … I would always want to spend time with You … and I can stand up and face my world … and enjoy it … everything that You have prepared for me … and everyone that You have allowed to cross my path … and allowed me to play with …

Thank you Daddy!

Thank you Sweetie!

This story is not just for kids … it is for the older kids as well as the young at heart.

Daddy will always love you for just being you … and me for being me …

Israel, Promised Land

The Lord asks me to read aloud these verses as well as
to inform those of us who view this post as often as
we view this post to read aloud these verses ...

or even to print these verses out to read them
as often as we can till these verses resonance in our spirit
and in our heart and they will indeed come to pass in our body
and make right our life right before our eyes ...

what is spiritual is REAL and eternal,
what is visible is only temporal and subject to change ...
and subject to the eternal Word of God

God bless you my friend ... we are so blessed my friend ... :)

The Joy of the Redeemed, the beloved ones of the Most High ...
even the fools ... can be happy ... and joyous as the redeemed and
beloved ones of the Lord Jesus.

The fools say, "If we are wise, we won't need a Saviour."
There is hope and salvation even so for such fools ... and I am such a fool ...


these are the verses ...

Isaiah 35

1THE WILDERNESS and the dry land shall be glad; the desert shall
rejoice and blossom like the rose and the autumn crocus.

2It shall blossom abundantly and rejoice even with joy and singing.
The glory of Lebanon shall be given to it, the excellency of [Mount] Carmel
and [the plain] of Sharon. They shall see the glory of the Lord, the majesty
and splendor and excellency of our God.

3Strengthen the weak hands and make firm the feeble and tottering knees.

4Say to those who are of a fearful and hasty heart,
Be strong, fear not! Behold, your God will come
with vengeance; with the recompense of God
He will come and save you.

5Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened,
and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.

6Then shall the lame man leap like a hart, and the tongue of the dumb
shall sing for joy. For waters shall break forth in the wilderness and streams
in the desert.

7And the burning sand and the mirage shall become a pool,
and the thirsty ground springs of water; in the haunt of jackals,
where they lay resting, shall be grass with reeds and rushes.

8And a highway shall be there, and a way;
and it shall be called the Holy Way.
The unclean shall not pass over it, but
it shall be for the redeemed;
the wayfaring men, yes, the simple ones and fools,
shall not err in it and lose their way.

9No lion shall be there, nor shall any ravenous beast come up on it;
they shall not be found there. But the redeemed shall walk on it.



10And the ransomed of the Lord shall return and come to Zion with singing,
and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads; they shall obtain joy and gladness,
and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.


please take a look at verse 8 again, this is not for the unclean, meaning, those that are not cleansed by the blood of the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ.

But for those of us who have come to receive the good news that God sent His Son Jesus to come and die for the whole world and especially for us,

we received the cleansing power of His blood washing all our uncleanliness away ONCE and for ALL ... so if we are the cleaned ... we are also the redeemed ... and this scripture STANDS for ALL of us for ALL ETERNITY ...

this is our title deed, this is our inheritance which the God of Heaven and Earth and Hell, the God of all CREATIONS, must honour ... which Jesus Christ His Son has come and paid the price for these precious ones of HIS, you and me and everyone who believes in this message.

The price has already been paid at the Cross ... it is like the choice given to mankind at the garden of Eden, God is a God of second chance, will you partake of the fruit believing the Good News.

This time choose life, there is hope even for a fool (like myself)
if the fool chooses the Giver of Life Himself, our Lord Jesus.

Just like Adam, he only had to choose once and he was doomed ...
and so was mankind ... it was all about Adam not matter what ...

But the second Adam has now come in our Lord Jesus,
the son of the Creator Himself,
invites us to choose Him, and only choose Him ONCE,
and HE will right all wrongs done to us by the first Adam ...
irregardless how we are after we have chosen Jesus,
it is now all about HIM no matter what ...



Dear Lord Jesus,

Thank you, I believe in what You have done on the cross for me
taking away all the uncleanliness from my life ONCE AND FOR ALL
and now making me so clean that I can partake and

enjoy the wonderful blessings
of the redeemed ones of the Lord.

Thank you very much. I believe therefore I am redeemed and saved!


How you must have loved me ... even me ... thank You ...

Praise God!

Seed and the harvest of righteousness

This is a verse that I have in my heart all the time … since a few years ago …

2Cor9

10Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food
will also supply and increase your store of seed and

will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness.

11You will be made rich in every way so that
you can be generous on every occasion,
and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.


Father is telling me something … the word seed here is singular

and this seed is the seed of Abraham … our beloved Lord Jesus!


as Jesus increases and increases in our lives …

the harvest of righteousness will be enlarged ..
that is all the blessings that are
attracted to the righteous will manifest in our lives ...
and Father will increase our awareness of Jesus and
our exposure to the power of Jesus in our lives …


Abba Abba you are so lovely …
howcome you woke me up on Saturday morning
to ask me to look at this verse again
and to tell me that it is singular?

You really have something for me and all of us to see …

Praise Jesus for the breakthroughs in our lives!

Praise You Abba for Jesus!

Hallelujah!

Amen

One Shepherd our Lord Jesus

One Shepherd

Ezekiel 34:

23And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd.

24And I the LORD will be their God, and my servant David a prince among them; I the LORD have spoken it.

25And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they shall dwell safely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods.

26And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers of blessing.

27And the tree of the field shall yield her fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase, and they shall be safe in their land, and shall know that I am the LORD, when I have broken the bands of their yoke, and delivered them out of the hand of those that served themselves of them.

28And they shall no more be a prey to the heathen, neither shall the beast of the land devour them; but they shall dwell safely, and none shall make them afraid.

29And I will raise up for them a plant of renown, and they shall be no more consumed with hunger in the land, neither bear the shame of the heathen any more.

30Thus shall they know that I the LORD their God am with them, and that they, even the house of Israel, are my people, saith the Lord GOD.

31And ye my flock, the flock of my pasture, are men, and I am your God, saith the Lord GOD.



Praise the Lord!

Fear is False Evidence Appearing Real

False
Evidence
Appearing
Real

the acronym for fear

I was in the bathroom going to brush my teeth this morning...
and to my surprise I saw my tap a different kind of tap that was installed in our bathroom ...

it was a push down tap ... not the turn type ... nor the lift up type ... which I was used to ...

so I called for my hubby to come and take a look at it ... thought he might have changed it without telling me about it ... but who could have changed to such tap in their own home? these are for public toilets where they don't encourage use of more water ...

but when he came to take a look, the tap became a turning type ...
and I was thinking I was probably hallucinating perhaps because of stress ...
but when I tried to reach out to the tap and turn it, the tap became the push down type with a small lever by the side as I first saw it earlier ...

then I found myself telling my hubby : "This is certainly NOT REAL."

and I found myself on my bed awaking from my sleep.

I realise that Abba is trying to tell me something ... what I see right now is most probably NOT REAL ... even in real life ...

what is real and eternal is WHAT HIS WORD SAYS.

so if we see the circumstances in our lives that contradict
what His Word says
we must stand up
and be convicted that THIS IS CERTAINLY NOT REAL.

what then is real?

okay, for a start let us try meditating on Deu 28 for those of us who are in Christ

Gal 3:

13Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: "Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree."

14He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.

so we are delivered from the curse of the law, so we indeed stand to enjoy ALL the blessings of Deuteronomy 28
Christ has kept all the law so that we can enjoy the blessings through Christ ...

1 If you fully obey the LORD your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the LORD your God will set you high above all the nations on earth.

2 All these blessings will come upon you and accompany you if you obey the LORD your God:

3 You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country.

4 The fruit of your womb will be blessed, and the crops of your land and the young of your livestock—the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks.

5 Your basket and your kneading trough will be blessed.

6 You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out.

7 The LORD will grant that the enemies who rise up against you will be defeated before you. They will come at you from one direction but flee from you in seven.

8 The LORD will send a blessing on your barns and on everything you put your hand to. The LORD your God will bless you in the land he is giving you.

9 The LORD will establish you as his holy people, as he promised you on oath, if you keep the commands of the LORD your God and walk in his ways.

10 Then all the peoples on earth will see that you are called by the name of the LORD, and they will fear you.

11 The LORD will grant you abundant prosperity—in the fruit of your womb, the young of your livestock and the crops of your ground—in the land he swore to your forefathers to give you.

12 The LORD will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none.

13 The LORD will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the LORD your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom.


Christ died to give us all these inheritance, and He lives again to make sure that we receive them all ... stand tall blessed ones of the Lord ... only believe.

God our Father has made joint-heirs with Christ Jesus. Salvation comes from the Lord.

Salvation is saved from hell, death, sicknesses, curses, poverty, unclean habits, etc ...
Salvation is prosperity, good health, success, love, happiness, joy, abundant life, etc ...

The Earth is the Lord's and is ours to enjoy!

Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power
and the glory and the majesty and the splendor,
for everything in heaven and earth is yours. Yours,
O LORD, is the kingdom; you are exalted as head over all.
1 Chronicles 29:11

My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
Psalm 121:2

Lift up your hands in the sanctuary and praise the LORD.
May the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth,
bless you from Zion.
Psalm 134:2,3

May all the kings of the earth praise you, O LORD,
when they hear the words of your mouth.
Psalm 138:4

received this file on the email recently ... here see His majesty in creations
so great our Abba Daddy and yet He remembers us ... His beloved children ...

click to see pictures of beautiful waterfalls of the world ... a powerpoint I received in the email recently: waterfalls.pps


Shout for joy, O heavens; rejoice, O earth; burst into song, O mountains!
For the LORD comforts his people and will have compassion on his afflicted ones.
Isaiah 49:13

The LORD will lay bare his holy arm in the sight of all the nations,
and all the ends of the earth will see the salvation of our God.
Isaiah 52:10

I see the cross, the hands of the Son of the living God laid bare for you and me!
O such love, such grace, such greatness, such faithfulness!

For your Maker is your husband— the LORD Almighty is his name— the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer; he is called the God of all the earth.
Isaiah 54:5

a husband provides for his wife and his family traditionally.
What a husband - Jesus!

The LORD has made proclamation to the ends of the earth: "Say to the Daughter of Zion,
'See, your Savior comes! See, his reward is with him, and his recompense
accompanies him.' "
Isaiah 62:11

daughter of Zion, my prayer is that you see your Saviour - Jesus of Nazareth.
May you be comforted for the times you suffered as if you were an orphan
without parents and love ... Jesus your Saviour, your deliverer and Lord has come
... come to Him ...


"Ah, Sovereign LORD, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great
power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you.
Jeremiah 32:17

For the earth and every good thing in it belongs to the Lord and
is yours to enjoy.
1 Cor 26:10 (Living Bible edition)

Salvation is found in no other name but the name of Jesus

John 3

16
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

17
For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

John 10:9
I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.

10b
... I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

11
“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep.

I must confess that in the past, I am one of those that used to tell others
that they are going to end up in hell if they do not believe in Jesus Christ.

Though this may be true ... but I do not do that anymore ...

I found that people who responded to invite our Lord Jesus
to come into their life based on fear of death don't really receive
the full blessing of the true gospel.

And most don't attend church services for a long time thereafter...
Abundant life, everlasting life or eternal life ... zoe life (zoe life - the God kind of life)...
actually kicks in when one receives Jesus as their personal Lord and Saviour.

HE then becomes our Shepherd daily leading us, guiding us into
good pastures and guarding us from all harms. HE, who is the Word,
and our good Shepherd, means what HE says when HE says

I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.

Rom 5:21
so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign

through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

if eternal and abundant life that comes with salvation means love, joy, peace,

happiness, laughter, giggles, smiles, good health and wealth,
prosperity, financial prosperity, windfalls, winning lucky draws,
reigning and being victorious in life, success, blessings, goodwill and favors of good businesses, job promotions, top grades in schools, etc ...

then death could also mean sicknesses, diseases, lack, debts, bad habits that could not be broken on our own, eg. smoking, pornography, telling lies, gambling, stealing, undue worry, negativitism, any other destructive symptoms ...constant unbelief that good will indeed happen to us ... etc ...

in Abraham's days, the people there lived to a ripe old age ...
about 120 and beyond ... Abraham died at 175 ...

Gen25
7
Altogether, Abraham lived a hundred and seventy-five years.
8 Then Abraham breathed his last and died at a good old age,
an old man and full of years; and he was gathered to his people.

not died as an aged sick ridden man, but died at a good old age, having lived an abundant life ... a long good life ...

let us see another one ... Job ...

Job 42:16
After this, Job lived a hundred and forty years; he saw his children and their children to the fourth generation. 17 And so he died, old and full of years.

hello, r u with me here?

in today's times, we can also read of people living to a good old years of 80, 90, 100 and beyond ... am I right?

I want to go in perfect health having lived a long good life, how about you?

I have found that life is so much more meaningful if we live for ourselves first and for others as well ...as we continue to enjoy what Jesus has personally come, died and resurrected to give us ... our blood bought right to a long good life ... blessed to be a blessing ... a blessing to ourselves, to those around us and to the nations too ... I believe in my Lord Jesus ...

seriously, I don't believe in asking people to buy fire insurance (keeping themselves away from hell) ... reminding them that their time is coming up soon ... frightening them to hurry to God ... esp to our dearly beloved elderly ones in our midst ...
instead, I truly believe the Power of God might just zap their mortal bodies to enable them to enjoy the zoe life that God has intended for each and every one of His children, the elderly included ...

The prayer of inviting Jesus Christ into our hearts to become our Personal Lord and Saviour ... if we believe in our hearts and say it with our mouths ... the deal is sealed ... and it is irreversible and irrevocable ... no matter what ... even whether we attend church or not ...

Dear Father

Thank You for loving me, thank You for sending Your one and only Son Jesus to die for me … to die for my wrongdoings. It is by Jesus’ blood that my sins can be wiped away completely … Lord Jesus, I invite You now to do that for me.

Lord Jesus please come into my life today and become my personal Saviour and Lord. The things that are not right with my life right now, by your grace, by your favour, will indeed be made right as I walk with You daily.

The great exchange has taken place, You died for me and as me on the Cross. So that I can live for You and as You right now.

You have taken my punishment for me, You have taken my illnesses and diseases away from me, in its place You have given me Your divine health.

Lord Jesus, You the Son of the Most High, the creator of the Universe, was stripped to nothing on the cross just for me, so that by Your poverty, I might become rich, and Your Word says, I am the heir of the world (cosmos).

You bore the pain and the stripes on Your body bore all my sicknesses and diseases that I can be made whole and healthy and continue to enjoy divine health.

Lord Jesus, thank You for all You have done for me.

Thank you also for sending Your Holy Spirit to live in my heart to help me and to guide me in all that I do as I walk with You.

Now indeed I thank You for making me the Beloved of the Most High as I am now in You Lord Jesus.

Cheers ! and Amen!

if it is man, it is natural

if it is God, it is supernatural ...

treat the elderly with respect and dignity ... they have worked so hard to give us this better world to live in...

have fun in life!

Your mountains will melt away if ...

Job36
5 God is almighty and yet does not depise anyone! And he is perfect in his understanding.

7 He does not ignore the good men but honors them by placing them upon eternal, kingly thrones.

8 If trouble comes upon them and they are enslaved and afflicted, 9 then he takes the trouble to point out to them the reason, what they have done that is wrong, or how they have behaved proudly.

10 He helps them hear his instruction to turn away from their sin.

11 If they listen and obey him, then they will be blessed with prosperity throughout their lives.

12 If they won’t listen to him, they shall perish in battle and die because of their lack of good sense.

16 How he wanted to lure you away from danger into a wide and pleasant valley and to prosper you there.

17 But you are too preoccupied with your imagined grievances against others.

18 Watch out! Don’t let your anger at others lead you to scoffing at God! Don’t let your suffering embitter you at the only one who can deliver you.

19 Do you really think that if you shout loudly enough against God, he will be ashamed and repent? Will this put an end to your chastisement?

20 Do not desire the nighttime, with its opportunities for crime.

21 Turn back from evil, for it was to prevent you from getting into a life of evil that God sent this suffering.

22 Look, God is all-powerful. Who is a teacher like him?

16 How he wanted to lure you away from danger into a wide and pleasant valley and to prosper you there.

11 If they listen and obey him, then they will be blessed with prosperity throughout their lives.


1. Turn to God, turn away from your mountain of trouble
2. Have a good opinion of Him, seek Him, listen to Him, do what He tells you to do
3. Do not rebell against Him or speak evil of or complain about Him, He is the only One who can help
4. Trust Him, praise Him ...
5. Turn away from evil, turn to Him ...

you will find that prosperity is on its way to you ...

sometimes it means tithing your last dollar away ... and see how the floodgates of heaven opens up to pour out so rich blessings upon you ... as long as there is a need ... it has been proven in the lives of godly men and women time and time again ... godly because God intervened in their lives in the most desperate of situations ...

it is easy to be godly when things around us are rosy and sweet ... and sometimes complacent too ...

Wealth of the Nations

1 "Arise, shine, for your light has come,
and the glory of the LORD rises upon you.

3 Nations will come to your light,
and kings to the brightness of your dawn.

4 "Lift up your eyes and look about you:
All assemble and come to you; your sons come from afar,
and your daughters are carried on the arm.

5 Then you will look and be radiant,
your heart will throb and swell with joy;
the wealth on the seas will be brought to you,
to you the riches of the nations will come.

10 "Foreigners will rebuild your walls,
and their kings will serve you.
Though in anger I struck you, *
in favor I will show you compassion.

11 Your gates will always stand open,
they will never be shut, day or night,
so that men may bring you the wealth of the nations—
their kings led in triumphal procession.

17 Instead of bronze I will bring you gold,
and silver in place of iron.
Instead of wood I will bring you bronze,
and iron in place of stones.
I will make peace your governor
and righteousness your ruler.

18 No longer will violence be heard in your land,
nor ruin or destruction within your borders,
but you will call your walls Salvation
and your gates Praise.

19 The sun will no more be your light by day,
nor will the brightness of the moon shine on you,
for the LORD will be your everlasting light,
and your God will be your glory.

20 Your sun will never set again,
and your moon will wane no more;
the LORD will be your everlasting light,
and your days of sorrow will end.

21 Then will all your people be righteous
and they will possess the land forever.
They are the shoot I have planted,
the work of my hands,
for the display of my splendor.

22 The least of you will become a thousand,
the smallest a mighty nation.
I am the LORD;
in its time I will do this swiftly."

the above scriptures are taken from Isaiah 60 ...
read the whole chapter and be blessed!

Just last recently, a 3rd QDII fund was approved.
Jiashi Fund Management Co is the first QDII to be allowed
to invest in Chinese companies (defined as having at least 50% of
its revenues from China) listed on the SGX and in the US.
When the annoucement was made that QDII FUND
could invest in HK, the HK market gone up by 32% todate.
This rose from from the sub-prime crisis lows
even before a single QDII dollar has been invested.

A total of US$48bn real money is expected to flow in for 2008.
You will be satisfied with the wealth of the nations
and in their riches you shall boast.

We are blessed coming in and blessed going out.

The Lord bless all the works of our hands.
We shall lend to many nations and we shall not borrow.

We are blessed to be a blessing too ....

Don't blink, it is happening ... time to sow is now ...
the year of the Lord's favor, the year of new beginnings.

Caveat Emptor ...


Creditors hot on heels

I don't understand when I had in mind something to share and then this one jumped out with utmost urgency …

In the story of Elisha and the widow with a jar of oil in 2Kings4, Elisha asked her what she had in her house … and she said nothing except a jar of oil … and Elisha asked her to borrow recepticles from her neighbours … as much as she borrowed … the Lord filled them all up for her … she went to sell them … and paid off all her debts and she and her son lived off the balance …

if the Lord has given you a revelation of what you should do from the above, please go ahead and do so … with His blessing …

to me the house is my heart, the oil in my house means the Holy Spirit … the anointing to speak words of encouragement and to forth tell into His children’s lives … every good promise He has given to us … borrow not a few recepticles … may mean … telling to more than one audience …

I am not restricting this sharing to my own life … I am sharing this because I know many reading this needs to know …

house could mean heart …

what do you have in your house could mean what passion you have in your heart …

go and find ways and means to fulfil it … and you will see as many means and ways you have, the oil of anointing of increase will operate … go, don’t stop at a few … the oil will never run out as long as there are recepticles to be filled …

this could be my calling … what is yours?

do not work for food that last but for food that last unto eternal life …

blessed to be a blessing to the nations…

incidentally a lady with two boys whose creditors were hot on her heels, just got her oil filled and sold … and living off the rest …

this is a miracle that had happened in real life just less than 2 weeks ago …

the difference between this lady and the above miracle is … the oil is still flowing … it is still running and not stopping …

in plain words, the Lord suddenly blessed her businesses ... in areas where there used to be few customers ... He has brought about abundance ... her business exploded suddenly ...

praise the Lord … what He is doing for her ... He can do for you ... seek Him ...

this is the day of the Resurrected Christ … and God puts us in Him …





Believing in Him

Romans 10:
11For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

12For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.

13For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

8But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;

9That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

10For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

The above scripttures are taken from the King James version ...

my Living Bible Edition is a little different ...
v11 For the Scriptures tell us that no one who believes in Christ will ever be disapppointed.

v12b ... the same Lord who generously gives His riches to all who ask him for them.

now let us start asking ... or with our mouths declaring His riches ours ... He our Lord Jesus is always in a generous mood everyday every moment of the day, no one who believes in Him will ever be disappointed.

Cheers! and Shalom!
