Lean Not On Your Own Understanding

You know as a Christian, there will be confusions, frustrations, depressions that will go with you along the way.

But fret not. Because it is just temporary.

Jesus is in you now, and His job is to redeem you from every discomforts that the devil will try to throw on your way.
He will do everything to block you so you'd lose focus in Jesus and stop seeking for the Truth.

Take note that devil plays well with your mind and manipulate the circumstances around you so instead of praising or thanking God , you'd end up questioning Him more.

The way to deal with this is
to say this to Jesus...

"Lord, I may be confused right now. But please, whatever I have in mind or be doing please JUST DON'T LET ME GO!"

Just that!
Simple, right??

I used these words a hundred times.

When my father died just when i turned to be a Christian. And a month after that when my sister followed him.

Questions of hate, words of frustrations and disappointments were there.
But I knew then that the truth wasn't based on my feelings.
So I asked Jesus not to let me go.

Forward after 3 years...

Here I am.
Still stuck in the Lord. Loving, Preaching and sharing His words that have lifted me up and enjoying life Victoriously each day so others may be out of bondage.

Yes. Do not lean on your own understanding. Because it will only deceive and push you away.
Trust only in His words.
His guidance.

His love.

His blessings,

And protection.

You are blessed to know that God loves you so.

And soon, as more revelations like the love of God has for you, you will get to enjoy Life each day
Victoriously!

Even with some little setbacks and a bit of problems that could attack you now and then. It won't matter anymore! You will just smile on it say to the devil,
" devil, tsk! You are such a loser! I am covered by Jesus blood! Can't you see? Hahah!"

My beloved friend,
You are standing on a solid ground
Because of Jesus!

So rejoice and be glad in it!

Like I said, do not trust your own understanding. Trust only in Him...

Blessed With The Excellent And The Plenty by Joseph Prince

Blessed With The Excellent And The Plenty by Joseph Prince

Deuteronomy 28:4
4“Blessed shall be the fruit of your body, the produce of your ground and the increase of your herds, the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flocks.

Would you want to buy a chair that Jesus made? I would, even if it cost US$1,000 because it would be of superb quality. Whatever Jesus did, He did it with perfect excellence.

And because Christ is in you, the things which you produce will be of exceptional quality too. That includes your children, who will be champions. Deuteronomy 28:4 says, “Blessed shall be the fruit of your body, the produce of your ground and the increase of your herds, the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flocks”.

God was using terms that the Israelites understood since they were farmers and shepherds. Today, “your ground” is the place of your work. This means that “the produce” of your work shall be of excellent quality.

That is not all. God promises that quantity will always follow quality because Deuteronomy 28:11 says that the Lord will “grant you plenty of goods, in the fruit of your body,” which means that you will have plenty of children, “in the increase of your livestock, and in the produce of your ground,” which means that your business will flourish and you will be a leading producer in the area of your specialty.

My friend, your excellence and plenty do not come by your efforts. They come by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, who paid for your prosperity — “though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich”. (2 Corinthians 8:9)

Jesus was made destitute of all material things at the cross. He had nothing! As He hung on the cross, He watched the Roman soldiers gamble for His robe. His last possession on earth was gambled away. He became poor, so that you could be blessed with the excellent and the plenty!

Accept Jesus as Your Saviour while You Still Can.

We had a dinner with my Buddhist,Chinese colleague last Friday and in between our conversation,
We somehow unintentionally touched a very sensitive topic. -- "Death".

Our other colleague's younger brother died while sleeping. While her deceased husband dropped died while having a vacation in his homeland China.

Both we're in good shape.

Then I told her,

"Yes. Death can happen to anyone, anywhere. Even while you're sleeping. That's why , you better make sure, you accept Jesus as your Savior first before letting go of your last breath because we don't know what's on the other side. Hell or Heaven may be true or not true but who cares.
The Bible says, Jesus saves our soul so for the last time, why not make that decision. It's FREE to accept Him anyway."

Then she replied," yeah true ah? Yes. I will do that. "

I didn't know why I told her that casually. I didn't mean of scaring her off actually. Hahah!

But well, at least, I gave her some options.

:)

By the way, I'm on my way to New Creation now. Gona serve my church at the last service. I am serving Video ministry handling Camera 4. Wooot! It's getting more and more exciting for me. Yeeeheeeeey!

Thank you Jesus for this new and awesome life!

Sooooo lovin' it!

Creation Can’t But Redemption Can! by Joseph Prince

Happy blessed Sunday everyone!
:)


Creation Can’t But Redemption Can! by Joseph Prince

John 9:7
7And He said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which is translated, Sent). So he went and washed, and came back seeing.

When Adam sinned and fell, everything about creation fell. Yet, people today are still putting their trust in creation. For example, they try to become healthy by eating what is called the “Eden diet” — vegetables and no meat. They are acting as if creation did not fall. They also forget that there are people who eat well and exercise regularly, and still drop dead in the prime of their lives!

Thank God that what creation cannot do, redemption can and did. Jesus demonstrated this when He spat on the ground, made clay with the saliva and put it on a blind man’s eyes. (John 9:6–7) Now, it is certainly unusual to put clay on a blind man’s eyes because he would become doubly blind!

So why did Jesus do that?

He was demonstrating to us that all our body parts come from the ground and that because creation is fallen, the work of creation cannot open a blind man’s eyes. But the work of redemption can! That is why He sent the blind man to the pool of Siloam. The word “Siloam” means “Sent”, referring to the sent one, Jesus. When the blind man washed his eyes in the pool of the sent one, he received supernatural healing for his eyes.

Beloved, when we go to Jesus, the sent one who came to redeem us with the price of His blood, and we rest in His finished work, we will receive the miracle we need. If we believe that by His stripes we are healed (Isaiah 53:5), we will have greater health than those who trust in creation.

Jesus was sent to redeem us from every curse that came upon creation with the fall of Adam. (Galatians 3:13) He has redeemed us from sickness, pain, sorrow, depression, poverty and even death. The world may know Him as the Creator. But today, we know Him as our Redeemer. Where the work of creation cannot save us, His work of redemption can and has!

Launch Out Into The Deep by Joseph Prince

Launch Out Into The Deep by Joseph Prince

Luke 5:4
4When He had stopped speaking, He said to Simon, “Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.”

God wants to bless you — big-time! It was for this reason that He said to Simon, “Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.” The deep is where you will find a whole lot of fish. You won’t find them near the shore in shallow waters. But to launch out into the deep is to move away from the comfort of the shoreline.

My friend, God wants you to break away from your comfort zone and step out in faith to do what He has put in your heart. It may be something simple, but which you have never done before or only dreamt of, like attending a care group. A church member did just that and found love. Today, she is happily married.

Now, our Lord Jesus who said, “Launch out into the deep…” also said, “… let down your nets for a catch.” Notice that He used the plural “nets” and not the singular “net”. Beloved, God wants to give you more than what you need. His dream for you is bigger than anything you can ever dream of. Dream big and God will exceed your dream because He delights in giving you exceedingly abundantly above all that you ask or think. (Ephesians 3:20)

Another church member who was formerly working for someone else had wanted to start his own company. When praying with him, I received a word from the Lord for him to launch out on his own. When he did that, he made a handsome profit at the end of the first month alone! Today, he has more than one company and his businesses are flourishing. God is blessing him beyond his wildest dreams!

Beloved, God wants to bless you beyond your wildest dreams. He did it for Simon who was astonished at the size of the catch of fish. (Luke 5:9) But it was not until Simon launched out into the deep that he ended up with the net-breaking, boat-sinking load of fish. (Luke 5:6–7) You, too, will be astonished at your catch when you step out of your comfort zone and launch out into the deep with the Lord!

Thanksgiving Can Raise The Dead! by Joseph Prince

Thanksgiving Can Raise The Dead! by Joseph Prince

John 11:41–42
41… And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, “Father, I thank You that You have heard Me. 42And I know that You always hear Me…

After Jesus had said these words, He cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come forth!” And the man who had been dead for four days came out of his tomb!

This is one of the greatest miracles that Jesus performed. Lazarus had been dead for four days when Jesus raised him to life. Wouldn’t you agree that death is indeed an extreme problem? Having no money in the bank, being sick and losing your job, bad as they are, are not as bad as being dead!

But what I want you to see is this: If Jesus, in the most extreme of problems, shows us that the solution is still, “Father, I thank You,” then how much more should we thank God in the midst of the less serious problems we face. If thanksgiving can raise the dead, then let us give thanks in spite of the negative circumstances and we will see victory.

Unfortunately, we tend to do the opposite — murmur and complain. But murmuring and complaining only magnify the problem. Thanksgiving, on the other hand, is the language of faith which pleases God. I am not saying that we give thanks for the problems we have. No, we thank God that He is our answer and that He has already given every blessing to us. (Ephesians 1:3)

“But Pastor Prince, what I have is so little.”

My friend, thank God for the little you have and it will multiply. Jesus thanked His Father for the five barley loaves and two small fish, a little boy’s lunch, and they were multiplied to feed more than 5,000 people with 12 baskets full of leftovers! (John 6:8–13) And notice that when the Holy Spirit talked about this event again, He specifically mentioned the Lord giving thanks — “the place where they ate bread after the Lord had given thanks”. (John 6:23) The Holy Spirit seemed to be more pleased with the act of giving thanks than the miracle of multiplication or the 12 baskets full of leftovers.

Beloved, the more you thank God, the more you please Him. What little you have will be multiplied and whatever is dead in your life will be raised to life!
