Can't wait to share with you. A sister in Christ showed me her plot of land where she planted some vegetables. She was telling us about it in February that she wanted to sow some seeds on a plot of land. In my mind, I thought it was near impossible in land scarce Singapore. And lo and behold, her neighbourhood community club put up a notice for residents who would like to try their hands in planting. And allocated each interested their small patch of land (for free). This was indeed unheard of.
Today she walked us there to see her tiny plot of land and it was indeed full grown with so much greens. And very fruitful too. She plucked her first fruit and gave it to me to use for our caregroup's chalet gathering tomorrow. The gourd is huge! We are so blessed.
Initially she started with what the horticulturist passed to her the seeds to plant. And then, her plants became the most blossoming patch. And the horticulturist's patch is indeed small compared to hers.
"why is it that the horticuturist's patch looks so pathetic compared to hers?" she replied "I have Abba whereas the horticulturist does not". "I claim everyday that like Joseph all I do prosper ... and I can see myself prospering in eveything I do" ... just imagine .... in such trying times it shocked us to hear that she was asking Abba for 5figure bonus. And when she was given only 4figure, she kept claiming that the 5figure was coming. Until she told us that indeed she received the 5figures! Such is the power of our proclamation. There is lots to claim as God's economy there is no recession nor famine! "All are yours" Yes, all He has are ours! How generous our heaveny Father! Praise Him.

Christ is the Head of my household and the King of my heart.
2 Samuel 6 (King James Version)
6And when they came to Nachon's threshingfloor, Uzzah put forth his hand to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen shook it.
7And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzzah; and God smote him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of God.
11And the ark of the LORD continued in the house of Obededom the Gittite three months: and the LORD blessed Obededom, and all his household.
12And it was told king David, saying, The LORD hath blessed the house of Obededom, and all that pertaineth unto him, because of the ark of God. So David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obededom into the city of David with gladness.
13And it was so, that when they that bare the ark of the LORD had gone six paces, he sacrificed oxen and fatlings.
14And David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod.
15So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the LORD with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet.
When we are in Christ, we are a new creation, the old has passed and the new has come. our attitude towards Christ Jesus will determine how blessed we can be.
Obededom obviously knew how to honour the Ark, and the Ark was very comfortable in his household and so everyone and everything in his household was blessed. Compared to Uzzah whose name means personal strength.
Hence we conclude that we cannot use our personal strength to honour the Ark in our life. We must use His strength and His method. When we do, one of the evidence would be that our hearts are filled with gladness.
Like for every "...six paces, he sacrificed oxen and fatlings."
remembering the Holy sacrifice as often as we do it, do it in remembrance of Jesus. One very practical way is to part-take the Holy Communion on a regular and personal basis remembering Jesus and honouring the finished work on the Cross.
Constantly affirming our love for Him, and His love for us.
The Holy Spirit prompted me yesterday when I was feeling so depressed "Do you still believe that God loves you very much?" His voice was so gentle and so soothing.
Sad hearts weep no more. In the presence of our Lord Jesus there is abundant life.
Amen.

We have the mind of Christ
1 Corinthians 2:16 (King James Version)
16For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? but we have the mind of Christ.
Praise the Lord!
The mind of Christ dwells on the finer things in life.
The mind of Christ is extremely positive.
We have the mind of Christ, believers, believe and enjoy!
Amen

Today
Do you know what is the key to unlock the whole blessings of Deuteronomy 28?
Deuteronomy 28
1And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:
2And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.
John 2:5 (King James Version)
5His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.
The key from the above two verses is : Doing whatever He tells us to do this very moment.
And we could expect His miracles results.
Hurray!

Name Your Harvest
The Lord spoke to me about naming my harvest sometime ago. And last week, He spoke to me about this again.
Let us sow all our hurts and our losses as seeds for a huge harvest. Yes, only we Christians are able to do that.
As usual, the Lord knows that I won't just take this as face value. I need scriptures to back this up and confirm.
Then graciously He showed me, guess where?
In the feeding of the five thousand men, the disciples had already named their harvest. Their harvest was the feeding of the five thousand men and their families. Their seed? A little boy's five loaves and two fish.
And the generosity of the Father exceeded their request by 12 basketful leftover fresh supplies of bread and fishes.
This is how good and generous my Heavenly Father is.
So when a child of God faces hurts and setbacks of any kind, all he/she needs to do is to sow all these hurts and set backs as seeds for a huge harvest.
Like if a child of God has fever, we can sow our fever as seed and name divine health as our harvest.
Fact vs Truth. Truth will always bear witness to the Truth.
Jesus has already healed all of us by His stripes. There is no sickness that our Lord's stripes has not taken away.
God has already supplied all our needs according to His riches in glory. All means all. If there is a need in our lives, let's meet it God's way. Sow a seed like the disciples did, and name the harvest. God does not despise small seeds. The fewer the seeds, the greater the harvest. Just name the harvest when we sow by simply whispering a prayer to the Lord.
Facts are just lying symptoms if they don't line up to the Truth of God's Word.
Just how much our heavenly Father loves us.
Thank God for the trials in our lives, now we know we sow them as seeds for huge harvests.
Praise the Lord! Amen.
