God knows His plans for you...

You got retrenched.
You are in great debt.
You suffer loses.
You lost a relationship.
You cried, wept and got depressed...

You look up and see...
things are different now.
Because through what Jesus has done on the cross, God is totally with you.

But sometimes, things can get a little shaky.
At one moment, you fear of what will happen to you tomorrow.
You then start to be so restless and stressed out just thinking of the future.

But I say,

Don't worry.
Just keep walking with Him.
Because He is Your Abba, Father who will do great things for you.

One day, you will just wake up asking yourself, " Am I in a dreamland Lord?"

Yes. Because Jesus is in you. Everything will change for the Better and Good!

That's one of His promises to us.

Still not convinced?

Read this.


“For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

(Jeremiah 29:11)

Disapppintments...disappointments...disappointments

Disappointments...
Disappointments...
Disappointments.

It's inevitible and while you're still breathing....it will always breathe you. Grabbing and taking hold of you from the neck up. Choking you.

So,
What to do when it happens to you?

Guess what, I have realized
It's always NOT "what you're gona do or what you're trying to do. "

It is "Who is with you. "

I've experienced disappointments lately.
I tried to be very patient about it, you know play smart and thought about creative things so as to get out from that loop real quick.

But to no avail.

It's still happening.
The more you avoid it,
The closer it gets.

For ordinary people, it's normal.

But hey!!!

I am no ordinary person.

I am a child of God!

Amen?

So these "disappointments" are not meant to bring me down everytime it happens.

I got Jesus.

Like i just said, "it's not what you're trying to do. It's WHO is with you..."

Me?

I got Jesus.
And guess what,

I know these disappointments are here and there and everywhere.
But for now, what's happening to me, while feeling this pain just amazes me.

It's just so awesome to know that this emotion is not actually eating up my soul like it used to!

Woooohoooo!

You see,
I know it's just there somewhere floating ready to grab hold of me as its prey!
Instead...
Right at this moment, while blogging this all out, I feel so light, calm and cool.

I feel the peace within.
That PEACE that Jesus' promises in the bible.
You might wana ask me,
Why do I know that PEACE comes from Jesus?

Because He always tells me so..

"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."

John 14:27

The way things are. It's a fact,
you can never change things and make it agree to your expectations.
So the way to do it, is

to look within.

Give up.

Talk it out to Jesus and
everything will be alright!

Halleluyaaah!

Yeah. Thats me talkin.

Give it all up to Jesus!

It's lunch time here in Singapore Beloveds!

Have a blessed and great day ahead!

Joint Heirs With Christ Jesus by Joseph Prince

Joint Heirs With Christ Jesus by Joseph Prince

Romans 8:16–17
16The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 17and if children, then heirs — heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ...

As long as you are born again, you are no longer a “slave”, but a son of the Most High God. And God does not just call you His son. He also calls you “an heir” through Christ. (Galatians 4:7) In fact, Romans 8:17 says that you are “joint heirs” with Christ.

As a joint heir with Christ Jesus, you inherit everything that He is. How precious Jesus is to the Father, is how precious you are to the Father. The way the Father loves Jesus, is the way the Father loves you!

How accepted are you by God today? Look at Jesus. That is how accepted you are! Christ is the measure of your acceptance. How favored are you by God? Look at Jesus, who is seated at the Father’s right hand. You enjoy that same favor today because whatever Christ enjoys, you enjoy!

As a joint heir with Christ Jesus, you also inherit all that He has obtained from the Father. How much Jesus has, is how much you have. How prosperous is the one who made all things, and who put the gold, silver and diamonds in the earth? So are you in this world! (1 John 4:17)

I used to read the Bible to find out how to be a rich, successful and victorious Christian. But now, I read it to find out more about Jesus because I know that when I find Him, I find my every blessing in Him. (Ephesians 1:3, 2 Peter 1:3)

My friend, all that Jesus is in heaven today, you are in this world. All that belongs to Him belongs to you. That is why it is in your interest to know Him more, to see Him in all His glory and beauty. And because Jesus is so rich and glorious, it will take you a lifetime to discover everything that He has done for you and has for you.

Beloved, you are an heir of the Most High God. You are a joint heir with Christ Jesus. So find out all the blessings that your rich inheritance includes and start walking in them today!

God has the last words

You know as human, I've already used up alot of my resources and strength to almost everything.

But to where?
...down to nothing.

Thinking...planning... Executing plans.

When my Citizenship application had been rejected, thoughts swirled and pop out of nowhere.
I said, I must have Plan B.
Then I started to think of trying it out to another country. Find a new job. New career. New life.
And then fear got me for a little while which made me weary.

For sometime, I was restless.

But then, I realized God had already said NO!

Well, at least
for now.

Because He told me,


"Many are the plans in a man's heart,
but it is the LORD's purpose that prevails."

Proverbs 19:21


Oh no! Ok Lord, I shall wait.
I shall move on, with You as my partner.
Whatever my decisions are, from now You still have the final words.
So I trust you in that ok?
I know you won't leave me and I know You know what's really best for me. So for now no complaints yet. Heheh!

Thank you Jesus because You are my partner in this world.

Good Monday morning everyone!
Have a blessed and prosperous week!

Only Christ’s Atonement Satisfies God by Joseph Prince

Only Christ’s Atonement Satisfies God by Joseph Prince

1 John 2:1–2
1… if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. 2And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins…

Today, Jews still observe Yom Kippur or the Day of Atonement. As the name suggests, it is a day set aside to make atonement for one’s sins. But for Christians, this beautiful feast points to Jesus and what He did for us on the cross. Because of His sacrifice, all our sins have already been perfectly atoned for. That is why, should we sin, we know that “we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous”. And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins.

Now, it does not say that if anyone repents, we have an Advocate with the Father. It says that if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father. The moment a child of God sins, straightaway, his Advocate, Jesus Christ, goes into action to pray for and protect him.

What about repentance then?

The word “repentance” is metanoia in the Greek, which means to change one’s mind. For example, you used to believe that Jesus was just a good man. Then one day, you repented and believed that He is the Son of the living God, who died for your sins and rose again on the third day, and you gladly took Him as your Savior.

Bible repentance is not this idea of hitting or punishing yourself to atone for your sins. Don’t turn it into a human work, like the man who went to a priest to confess his sins. When they were done, the priest asked the man, “By the way, what do you do for a living?” The man replied, “I’m a contortionist,” and proceeded to give a demonstration. Another man came along wanting to confess his sins. When he saw the contortionist all twisted up on the ground, he said, “If this is repentance, forget it!” and ran off!

My friend, there is no need to climb the Himalayas or whip your back bloody to atone for your sins. No amount of self-punishment or crying can atone for them. Your sins have already been punished fully in the body of Jesus. Only His finished work satisfies God. So change your mind and simply believe that Jesus alone is the propitiation for your sins!

Proclaim The Lord’s Death by Joseph Prince

Have you taken Holy Communion lately?
Used to do it 2x a day and I can say it really made wonders to my health.

Everytime I took it , I felt healthier and younger each day!

See, it's always cool to proclaim the Lord's death by Holy Communion. Will partake it again nextweek and share the prayer with you. So be ready.

In the meantime, may you be blessed and have some revelations in this post. :)

Enjoy Joseph Prince' powerful devotional for today friends!

Halleluyaaah!


Proclaim The Lord’s Death by Joseph Prince

1 Corinthians 11:26
26For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes.

In the Old Testament, whenever the children of Israel sacrificed a lamb for a burnt offering as they faced a strong enemy, victory was theirs. For example, in 1 Samuel 7:7–11, when the Philistines were coming against them, the prophet Samuel offered a lamb as a burnt offering. As it was being offered, the Lord came like a loud thunder on the Philistine army, confusing them. This led to victory for the Israelites.

Every time something bad happened to the children of Israel, by offering a lamb sacrifice, they were proclaiming the Lord’s death, and the battle would turn in their favor.

Today, when we are faced with an enemy, how do we offer our “burnt offering”? How do we proclaim the Lord’s death and come out victorious? Do we ask Jesus to come down to where we are at and die on the cross all over again?

Of course not. Jesus died once for all our sins — past, present and future. (Hebrews 10:12) His work is perfectly perfect and completely complete, so He doesn’t have to die for us again. Today, we proclaim His death simply by partaking of the Lord’s Supper.

Every time you partake of the bread and wine, you declare to the principalities and powers of darkness that the Lord’s death avails for you. Every time you partake, you are saying that because Jesus has been judged and punished in your place, you cannot be judged and punished. Because Jesus died young in your place, you will live long. And because He conquered death and stripped the devil of his powers, you will not be defeated. The victory is already yours!

That is why the psalmist David said, “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies…” (Psalm 23:5) The Lord’s table is prepared for you in the presence of your enemies because when you partake of the bread and wine, you will see your enemies tremble and scatter! Why? Because when you proclaim the Lord’s death through the Holy Communion, you are reminding the devil and his cohorts of their humiliating defeat at Calvary’s cross! (Colossians 2:15)

God Is Behind Your Increase by Joseph Prince

God Is Behind Your Increase by Joseph Prince

1 Corinthians 3:7
7So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.

Sometimes, we think that the increase or success which we enjoy is the result of our own efforts or hard work. Now, I am not advocating laziness, but the truth is that God is the one behind our increase.

We see this truth when we read the story of Ruth, a young widow from Moab, who worked as a gleaner in a barley field from morning till evening. Now, we could attribute the entire ephah — a substantial 10-day supply — of barley she collected at the end of the day to her hard work. After all, she did work all day in the field.

But when we read about how Boaz, the owner of the field, had secretly told his reapers to “let grain from the bundles fall purposely for her; leave it that she may glean” (Ruth 2:16), we know that it was because of Boaz’s intervention that Ruth ended up with so much.

I believe that Jesus, our heavenly Boaz, does the same thing for us today. He causes people to favor us and “drop” blessings on us because He loves us. Then, He causes us to “pick up” these blessings. Often, it happens so seemingly naturally we forget that it is the Lord who has blessed us with the increases.

A church member who runs a florist business shared that once, God caused someone who needed a lot of flowers to “drop” a huge order with her. She also shared that she was hardly making any money even though she had been working hard for many years. But when she became a Christian after coming to our church, she began to confess every day that God’s favor was on her. Within a few weeks, that big order worth S$14,000 came in. Only God could have given her such a supernatural increase.

My friend, your hard work is not behind your increase. The Bible tells us that it is “God who gives the increase”. He is the one who is behind your increase and He delights in blessing you because He loves you!
