the pictures may cause a little discomfort to the viewers

but it is a very good reminder to many of us … who share this world we live in …

blessed to be a ble$$ing to the nations …

let us never be tired of doing good ... in words and deeds, in charity and in love ...
in gifts of money and of time ...

in whatever way we can …

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!
