I am a Christian




Let's talk about being a "Christian".

You know the world has inculcated on their minds that if you are a Christian, you are not bound to make mistakes or sin.
You should walk straight, be always a good person just like Jesus.
In short , you should be perfect.
(Which is so wrong)

I had my first attempt as a Christian back in the 2010's.

But I left the church.

You know why?

Because they gave me alot of stuff to do!

You must do this , do that. Forget your sexual preference. Go to church every Sunday. Read the Bible daily...which I didn't like!

Forward to this day.

I am back to being Christian.

And it is so different compared to the first truth that I know which stressed me out.

It is true when Jesus said in the Bible,




Jesus is our rest.

Rest from all our worries , anxities, fears and uncertainties.

Now, I go to church not because
I NEED TO.

I go attend church because
I WANT TO and it makes me excited everytime!

Can you tell the difference dear friends?

Now, I read the Bible not because some pastors told me to.

I read the Bible because I want to get to know more of my Jesus!

Wooow!

This change in me is amazing!

And it's effortless.

If you , my friend have experienced this in your Christian journey,
I want to pray with you.

That you too shall be set free !

The truth that as a Christian,
we need Jesus everyday because
He is our savior from everything will set you free.

We should all stop looking at our shortcomings, ourselves and start to look up to Him instead with praise and full of thanks for what He did at the cross.

As a Christian, our main task is to praise Him and not trying to fix our flaws. If we look up to Him. He will fix our flaws and then change us from the inside -out. That's what Jesus meant when He said, you come to Him , He is your rest.
And He doesn't lie.

You see, If we keep looking at our mistakes or failures as a Christians, it would take us forever. And it will only separate us more from God.

In this world, we can never be perfect because only Jesus is perfect.

When Jesus was at the cross,
He didn't say,
" hey you, have you read your bible today. Are you good today? If not I will come down from here and won't die for you. "

No!

At the cross, Jesus never thought on all of these.
What was on His mind and heart was that ," IT IS FINISHED!"

Jesus took all your failures, shortcomings, sickness, confusions at the cross and cloth you with His Righteousness so today, you and I deserves all the blessings.

Halleluyaaah!

Jesus is your wisdom so ask Him to lead you to His truth.

Let us pray.

Dear Jesus,
If the person reading this is in total confusion and lost as a Christian,
Please lead him to Your truth.
Your truth sets him/her free!
Thank You Jesus for being our awesome savior.
We shall praise you forever.
Amen!

Psalm 91 in Darker Days




Lately, I am feeling a little bit "blank."

During Christmas, there was a family of four who got a fatal accident, crashed their land rover in Johor Bahru and hit on another car.

Only a 4 year old boy survived with some bruises.
The rest got burned to death. 😭

That little boy. I was thinking, angels must have protected him.

So I did a little research on the family. At the back of my mind , I was already wonderin' whether they are Christians or not.

To my surprise. Yes they are indeed!

And to make me even more surpised... They come from my church.

Eventhough I don't know them personally, I am heartbroken. It is always so sad to see or hear our brothers or sisters departing this way.

But to know that they are in safer hands with Jesus, comforts me.

The guy is active in our church. When I saw his facebook wall, some of his friends are even calling him "coach".

Okay, I don't want to dig more of their personal life in here anymore.

You see, if you backread some of my posts, I am always encouraging you all to pray or at least say "Psalm91" everyday if you have the time. Or really make time for it.

We are on the last days and anything could struck us anywhere.

The devil is panicking already so he wants to take whoever he wants to. Especially those whom he thinks are gonna help and are bold to spread testimonies about the Gospel.

But lo and behold!
Our Jesus is the victor!

That's why the devil is shaking right now.

Halleluyaaaah!!!


Okay. Back to Psalm 91.

When I learnt that the couple are from my church.

I started to ask God this question.

"Lord, whatever happened to my bros and sis, it's only You who knows. But I need an answer why this happened And where is your promises of divine Protection on them?

Pause.

This question has been on my mind for days. And I really badly need an answer from Him.

This morning,
I opened my Bible to
1 Corinthians.
And I think, this is His answer.



In this mad-fallen world, we shall walk in dark valleys but shall overcome them.

Everything here is temporary.

The real world is upthere, in heaven with our awesome God and Jesus.

They may have lost their temporary lives in here,
but they gained eternal life upthere.

My bro John Mah, reminded me to always look up and not to see what's on my right or left.
Just like when Peter lost his focus and looked at what's going around him and started to drown when he took his eyes off Jesus.

Yes.

Questions like this can go on and keep bugging us.
It would help is you always talk it out to Jesus directly.

The spirit shall give you an answer.

His peace is the answer.


My condolences to the family.
Rest assured that your son, daughter and grandson are in good hands now with Jesus.

🙏🙏🙏🙏

There you go!

I still and will always encourage you all, to claim and say #Psalm91.

Only God knows what His plans for us now.

Let's just keep praising Him for it.

The Reason for the Season is Jesus...




Being born from a poor family,

as a kid, I always thought Christmas is about just having gifts

and wishing all your dreams would come true.

Then when I was in my highschool days, I thought

Christmas is just about being with friends you like,

having an awesome family for Noche Buena, exchange gifts, gift-giving and all.

When I started to work and earn my own money,

I thought Christmas was about enjoying the holidays, buying all the things you wished for or thanking God for leaves, offs, vacations, bonuses etc.

Yes.

I could say, I was able to get most of the things that I dreamed of.

I was even able to buy myself my own gifts,

It's cool when you start to earn your own $$$...(really)

But you see, in between those moments,

I wasn't really satisfied deep within.

I thought to myself,

" Is this really Christmas is all about? If it is, then it's so shallow and meaningless."

Then I started to ask questions to God and was able to dig deeper about life.

And I am so blessed that He led me to know that Christmas....is about love.

It's about Jesus who came down to earth as a human being so He could

save us all from hell.

But of course, not everybody is pleased and would believe in this truth.

So people around the world, ( excluding Believers of course) celebrate Christmas

with gift-givings, parties here and there, get drunk and get a migraine after.

Hahah! I am not against all these cuz you see , I am basically a fun person.

My point is,

Christmas.

It is so wonderful that it happens around the world and every year!

Just makes me smile thinking the world is celebrating on my wonderful savior's birth.

But sadly, athough everyone is celebrating it, they never thought of who is the celebrant.

It's like having your own birthday party, but the guests don't know you.

Funny right?

Anyways,

This Christmas, I can truly say, I am grateful for what Jesus has done at the cross.

And our awesome God...wooow!

He really planned all these so you and I could be reunited with Him through Jesus.

How cool is that?

God wants you dude!

Booooy! This is the best gift ever!

You see, material gifts are good for pleasures and happiness.

Celebrations are awesome.

But they are only temporay.

They only give temporary happiness.

But thias truth that I found out, makes me want to jump for joy.

Yes,

Christmas....it is all about my Jesus....

Tomorrow, me and my friends are just going to have a simple dinner to celebrate

with Jesus.

Maybe we would be able to watch some fireworks here in Singapore, that would be awesome.

Yes, I want to celebrate this day with Jesus...

And I am sure, He will be there to celebrate with us too.

He will be very busy around the world.

So that's all my thoughts for today dear friends.

May you have the most special wonderful, Christmas ever!

Forget all your worries for awhile. You got Jesus!








What To Do When You Are Stressed




You know before I was a solid believer or a Christian,
and even if I was already one. I couldn't help but use
foul languages everytime I was pissed, mad , angry or just use it for the fun of it like an expression.

But I realised, using those foul words like the "f" word really didn't benefit me at all.

Even if how many times I scream of it.

Nothing good ever happens.

But you know what,
when I learnt my awesome pastor Joseph Prince, that instead of using those bad languages,
we should use powerful words like
"Thank You Jesus!" in everything.

It pleases Him.

And so far , the benefits or reactions that it gave me are indeed all positive.

It takes out all my stress away and makes me smile even in any bad situation.

You see, our words have power.
So why not use it to praise our Lord Jesus, right?

Try it.

When you feel sad or bad, disappointed or just bored.

Say,

"Thank You Jesus. "

Pause for awhile.

Breathe in.

Breathe out.

If you are alone, try doing this with
closed eyes.

Then share your experience with me here.

You can put on the comment below.

Ok?

Right now, I'm in the middle of a stressful situation at work.
Clients are in front of my nose right now.

I just take a deep breath
and say ,

"Thank You Jesus!"

Feels good everytime. ♥️♥️♥️

Talk soon.

Run Free Yuna





In this world,

there will be human being who loves dogs, will fight for dogs and sadly,

abuse or abandon dogs😂..

We cannot blame them because we don't know their situation.

I can however just pray for them.

Also will always be praying for those who have the heart and time in rescuing and saving dogs to give them loads , tons of patience to go through this journey. 
It is tough, challenging and sad or a mixture of all that. 

Especially when the one you are trying to rescue won't make it.

Goodbye Yuna.
You are just 8months old and suffered like this as a pup.

We are sorry we were not around when you took out that last breath.

Surely , you are with Jesus now.

Run free, Yuna!

Grab Hold of Hope

When I wasn't still believing the right truth,
I used to have tons of wishes every year.
I wish to have a good life.
I wish to have a good future.
I wish that I would be happy forever.
It was endless actually and fears
set in. Unsure of what my future would become.

And then at the end of the year ,
I would get disappointed because none of them came true.😁

Yes. That was few years back.
Forward to this day,
my fears slowly drifts away.

You know why?

Guess why.

It's because of Jesus!

Now, I am so blessed to have known the truth and to have known Jesus as my blessing.

In Jesus, we have a HOPE that never disappoints!

That in God's world, we have a HOPE that's not purely "wishing".

Meaning, all God's promises of protection (Psalm91), blessings (Psalm23) and favours in the Bible are true and yours and mine because God doesn't know how to lie!

Let me ask you now.
What is it that you're hoping for?

I want you to write it down and
while writing it down ,
you say this..

Dear God, I believe in Your beautiful promises on my future.
I know you only want to give me a good future through Jeremiah 29:11. I believe in Your promises Lord.
Let it be down according to Thy word. "

Wooow!

Now, there's a bonus.
Feel free to read the devotional that I just ready today.

You are blessed cuz I am only sharing it here with you.

Gotta go now. Need to doze off cuz it's 12:20am here in Singapore
and I have to go to work tomorrow.

Be blessed. ♥️♥️♥️♥️



Grab Hold of Hope!

So God has given both his promise and his oath.
These two things are unchangeable because it is impossible for God to lie. Therefore, we who have fled to him for refuge can have great confidence as we hold to the hope that lies before us.

—Hebrews 6:18 (NLT)

The hope of heaven. Too many of My children don’t really understand what this means. When I talk of hope, it isn’t just wishful thinking. This hope is My promise for all My children.

As soon as I became your Savior, heaven became your final, permanent home. But there are blessings of this hope that you can enjoy right now! Because your true home is heaven, you know that any troubles you face today are only temporary. The hope of heaven helps you through your tough times, brightening even the darkest days. It also helps you keep trusting that I am taking care of you—and everything will be all right.

Don’t just wish for heaven—grab hold of the hope of heaven! Let its blessing fill your life today.

A Matter Of Spirit By Joseph Prince

For years, The Spirit has always been there to point me to the right "truth" of who and what our Almighty God really is.

In this mad, fallen world.

I could be alone.

Even if will be surrounded with lots of friends and relatives or families,
emptiness will never stop poking me.

But alas!

I kept praying Jesus to guide me always. No matter what.

And forward to this day, a veil has been taken out.

I realised, you could do whatever you like in this world (I'm talking about good and positive things here. Or if you've done something as a mistake. Do not worry. As long as you keep Jesus in your heart. He will fix it for you) for the truth that sets you free from all fears is knowing that God is your heavenly Father and He wants a solid and unshakeable relationship with you.

If you are not there yet,
do not be frustrated. We, as Christians are always work in progess.

I suggest, you ask Jesus to always guide you. Do not always depende on feelings if He is there or not cuz feelings deceive.

Sharing another powerful devotional from Joseph Prince.

Be blessed everyone!






God sent forth His Son…to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.
Galatians 4:4–5

A Matter Of Spirit
By Joseph Prince

As an heir of God, you have a rich inheritance. All the blessings of your heavenly Father are yours!

“Well, Pastor Prince, if it’s true that I am an heir of God because I’m His son, then why am I still not seeing the blessings?”

I asked the Lord the same question once. I said, “Lord, why is it that there are believers who don’t seem to be blessed despite the fact that they are Your sons and heirs?” The Lord said this to me, “It’s a matter of spirit.” Then, He pointed me to Romans 8:15, NIV—“For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, ‘Abba, Father.’” He was telling me that walking in His blessings has to do with having a spirit of sonship.

How does the spirit of sonship operate? By the cry, “Abba, Father!” The Holy Spirit left the word Abba, meaning “Daddy” or “Papa,” untranslated in Romans 8:15 so that we will know that God wants us to have an intimate relationship with Him. Seeing God as Daddy and calling Him “Daddy” or “Papa” removes any distance and breaks down every barrier between you and God. It brings you into an intimate relationship with God and that’s how the spirit of sonship operates.

So beloved, have a spirit of sonship. Don’t see God as an impersonal, distant being who doesn’t really care how you feel. He isn’t just Almighty God, He is also your Daddy! Have this sense of intimacy with Him all the time and start to walk in a greater measure of your Daddy’s blessings!

Oh My Jesus

Jesus...
He is everything that you need.

He is your healer.
He is your peace.
He is your comforter.
He is your financier.
He is your protection.
And so much more!

Just come to Him.
And everything will be alright.
Sometimes it might be tough
but if you let Jesus be your strength,
It's beautiful.

Just trust in Him.




A Prayer I Love to Answer By Joseph Prince





A Prayer I Love to Answer
By Joseph Prince

When Jacob awoke from his sleep, he thought, “Surely the LORD is in this place, and I was not aware of it.”
—Genesis 28:16

When Jacob ran away from his angry brother, Esau, he went to sleep on a stone pillow in a land that seemed empty and gloomy. But he dreamed about heaven and angels and promises of My Presence. And when he awoke, he thought, “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I was not aware of it.”

Jacob’s discovery was not only for himself, but for everyone who seeks Me. I am everywhere. I am above you, below you, and all around you. There is no place that I am not. So if you find yourself feeling distant from Me, say: “Surely the Lord is in this place!” Then ask Me to open the eyes of your heart so that you can “see” My Presence. This is a prayer I love to answer!
