Praise God in All Circumstance

I can say that by reading Jesus' -filled messages, devotional everyday ,
I feel my faith and confidence in God's promises has grown stronger and deeper each day.
You see , you can choose to fill your mind and heart with negativities in this world
Or
You can choose to just fill it with Jesus' truth. Knowing that God loves you so and that He will never leave you nor forsake you is more than enough for me to survive the day.
I just learnt that each struggles come and go,
Don't let it shake you.
Continue to thank and praise Jesus instead.

Sharing a beautiful and practical devotional that I read early this morning.

It has blessed me.

I'm definitely sure, it shall bless you too.







When things are going smoothly in your life - it’s easy to praise Jesus! But when something earth-shattering shakes your world - the first human response is to cry, get discouraged and blame God! But instead of falling apart and bursting into tears - the best thing to do is to praise God for all His goodness! When you step back and count your blessings, you see things from a different perspective, and realize how much you have to be thankful for - in spite of all your troubles. The Bible says in 1 Thessalonians 5:18, “Be thankful in all circumstances.” It is during the tough times that you lean on Jesus the most! No matter what you’re going through, if you look around, you’ll see that you have much to be thankful for and life really isn’t “that” bad after all! You’ll also discover that someone else “always” has it worse than you do.” So the next time you’re tempted to invite friends to your pity-party, stop: and count your blessings! James 1:2-3, 1 Peter 1:6-7, James 1:12

You Have a Powerful God




I am so blessed to be receiving this
devotional everyday.
When you fill yoyr thoughts with this kind of devotionals or inspirations,
your faith in God will grow and
you will have the courage to face day with excitement.
Knowing that God is with you all the way, everyday there's is NO NEED TO FEAR at all!
Just stay with Him because you have an awesome , abundant God
who loves you and will never leave you.
Halleluyaaah!!

Christians often put limits on what God can do.
Instead of giving God full control, and trusting Him to provide for their every need, they start doubting God’s power, forgetting that “with God, all things are possible. “

It’s important to remember that it’s never about what you can do - but rather what God can do through you!

For instance, if you feel God calling you to teach in a children’s department at church- don’t start thinking of a million reasons why you should say “No,” such as: “I can’t do that, I don’t even like kids, I hate being up front,” or “I’m too scared.”

Instead your response should be, “I’ll pray about it.” Then if you feel impressed by the Holy Spirit to take the position - go forward with confidence knowing that Jesus will be with you every step of the way - giving you everything you need to accomplish His task - you have nothing to fear!

This is true in every situation - God will never call you to do a task for Him and then leave you in the lurch!

He is trustworthy and loves you more than you could possibly know!

Search your heart and think about what is getting in the way of a full commitment to Jesus!

Then pray and ask God to create within you a clean heart and fill you to overflowing with His Holy Spirit. Stop putting limits on what God can do - and make that giant step of faith - in whatever direction God leads.

Ephesians 2:8-9, 1 Peter 3:15, Jeremiah 33:3

Stay With Me - Jesus




Stay with Me

For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.
—Ephesians 2:10 (NLT)

Spend some more time with Me. I know today is a busy day and you have much to do, but stay with Me for a few more minutes. I want to enjoy your company. I also want to prepare you for this day.

Great athletes take time to think carefully about what is ahead— going through it in their minds before they move their bodies. In the same way, sitting quietly in My Presence prepares you for the day ahead—for the good things I planned for you.

Only I know what will happen today. If you don’t let Me prepare you, you may get tired and feel like giving up. Rest a moment with Me—and then we’ll have a great day together.

Love,
Jesus

Come As You Are

I remember more than 8 years ago

when I was so down and out , a

Christian friend invited me to join

their group.

Desperate as I was, I accepted his

invitation.

There were praising, Amens and Halleluyahs.

Some are even speaking in tongues.

It felt good although I found it a bit weird that time.

I told myself,"well, this is something new. I might love this."

So, the service lasted for more than 2 hours.

I witnessed members giving out testimonies almost most of them were crying, begging for God through prayers.

I just sit in there and observed.

Two, three days passed.

That Christian friend asked me again to join them. He told me since, you have accepted Jesus in your life now, you must attend our Bible study. And some activities.

I wasn't into that time. So I politely just said "No, sorry I can't".

Then I talked to Jesus,
"Jesus, right now , I am not ready for any responsibility for you yet as you know I am quite busy with alot of stuff like making a living. Feed my family, etc. Sorry, maybe next time."

So I left the congregation feeling so free!

Have you been in this situation in your life?

You see, true Christianity is not accepting Jesus and follow all the rules.

True Christianity is to come to Jesus as you are and let Him change you inside and out.

I was so glad I got out from that congration and now I am happy of where God has led me...to His truth.

That Christianity is not relying on your effort to be perfect. To do this and do that. Honestly, I hate rules!

Christianity is relying on Jesus' perfect sacrifice because as Jesus is, and so are you in this world!






If you are struggling now as a Christian. I know, life itself can bring you down already. How much more of some of these teachings or preachings outhere that's making your life heavier and even stressful?

You don't come to Jesus to be stressed. You come to Jesus to rest.

Jesus said,
" come to me and I will give you rest. "

Embrace that truth.
Jesus is our rest.

So don't ever let someone stress you out of some rules.

In Jesus' there are NO RULES!

Your only task is to receive and thank Him for His love for you.

Pure blessing. Pure grace.

Yes!

Christianity is a gift.

Don't let anything stress you out.

Just come to Jesus as you are ,

stand still and experience His

unmerited favour in your life.

Blessed in more ways than one

I am thankful and so blessed God has lead me back to His true word.

Thank you Pastor Joseph Prince for teaching and leading me back to Jesus.

The truth that I know now has really set me free.

I am no longer in bondage.

Stressed of the way I am. Of who and what I am now. Because true Christianity is not about me, about my failures or mistakes.

It's about Jesus, who died for me at the Calvary to cleanse me everyday and forever!

Halleluyaaaah !

Be blessed everyone!







Romans 5:1
1Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

We are not trying to get peace with God. We already have peace with God, having been justified by faith through our Lord Jesus Christ. This peace with God brings us the peace of God, which guards our hearts and minds. (Philippians 4:7) Then, the peace of God inside us will also translate into the peace of God outside us — in all our outward circumstances.

Firstly, we will find that what would normally cause us much care and anxiety will no longer be the case. Secondly, not only will everything turn out well, but we will also be blessed in more ways than one. This is what happens when Jesus, the Prince of Peace, is our peace.

A church member, though stricken with cancer, enjoyed the peace of God, knowing that He was her healer. She later received confirmation from two different doctors that she had been completely healed of cancer. In addition to receiving her blessing of complete healing, she also received from her insurance company a critical illness claim of S$50,000!

Another church member, upon hearing news of her retrenchment, committed the matter to God, believing that He would work all things out for her, especially her loss of a regular income. Shortly after, she received her retrenchment package — a substantial five-figure sum. And within days of her retrenchment, she received calls from her contacts in the industry, offering her jobs, two of which were jobs in well-known multinational corporations (MNCs).

At that time, she had not yet started looking for a job, so the calls were unexpected but welcomed. She finally opted to work for one of the MNCs — a dream come true for her — at a salary that was 30 per cent more than her previous one! When she simply prayed, “Abba Father, I trust You to look after me,” and rested in His love and peace, she was abundantly blessed.

Beloved, because Jesus is your peace, you are blessed in more ways than one. Your soul will prosper. Your health will prosper. Your finances will prosper. Your loved ones will be taken care of. Your relationships will flourish. You will enjoy the favor of God. All because you have the Prince of Peace!

How To Stop Fear From Ruining Your Sleep




I have a revelation that I want to share with you.
This morning , I woke up suddenly at 3am.
I don't know why.
Some strange thoughts of fears popped out of nowhere.
Maybe it's a mix-emotion of the stray family dog that we are trying to rescue. Or my furbaby's sudden diarrhea.
(Deep sigh)
Yes. Feeling like this could get or knock you off. Telling you that you are alone and helpless.
That tactic is from the devil.
He wants to remind you always
that you are helpless while injecting fears and worries on your mind.

How to stop this from happening again? (Well, it's not 100% that it's not gonna happen again. The devil is a persistent loser hah!)

What I did was simple.

I took a deep breathe and think of my Jesus.

And repeatedly said this,
"Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord!"

... until my fears faded away and was able to sleep soundly.

Wow! That's the power of Praising Jesus !!!

Halleluyaaaah!

If this will happen to you,
Try what I did.
Know that Jesus is for you and not against you. So NOTHING like fears or worries could stress you or defeat you.

Keep walking and talking with Jesus!

He loves your company!

You see, our mind always get attack with negative thoughts no matter what. The only way to stop or prevent them is to fill your mind with good stuff such as this.

Read on and you will know what I'm talking about.




You have shown me the path to life, and you make me glad by being near to me. Sitting at your right side, I will always be joyful.

—Psalm 16:11 (CEV)


As you decide to come close to Me, the Light of My Presence shines brightly upon you. Do you feel it? It’s that warm feeling when you know you’ve done something that makes Me smile. It’s that Peace in your heart when you’ve poured out all your sorrows to Me. It’s that bubbling-over Joy that fills your voice when you sing My praises. It’s that perfect Love I always have for you— even when you mess up.

This is one of those wonderful things about Me—the closer you get to Me, the closer I draw you to Me . . . which brings Me closer to you . . . and on and on and on.

Do you feel that Joy? Open your heart to Me—and receive even more joy!
