214=7 (Peace, Perfect & Rest!)

Shalom,

Great is our Lord, our God, whom always lead us in triumph.. Yes, that was my last message here.

Peace
How many of us can agreed that when God sends you His message, He communicate to your understandings? Well, just two days ago, He brought me back to this verse "For He Himself is our peace"! Wow, the Holy Spirit first told me that I am not useless for I m His diffuser of His fragrance of His Knowledge to every place. Now He further calm me using 2:14 but on Ephesian to show me Shalom!

Perfect
The best thing is that I have already encountered His sign during my infant period in Christ. Praise be it to God, He knows being a human, we needs constant reminder of who we are. As battery run flat & need a recharge, God recharges me constantly by a pat on my back as an acknowledgement!

Rest
Thank You Father, for Your unfailing love which always surrounds me, for my hope is in You, alone.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!

Your most beloved child in Christ.....

Diffuser of His fragrance..

Shalom,

Was reading Proverbs when the Holy Spirit spoke to me on "when anyone (me) is in Christ, he (me) is a new creation... so I thought that was 2 Corinthians- 5:17. 

But God didnt juz stop here, He probed me to look into 2:14- 

"Now thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, 

and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place."

HEY, I m so honor to be His trusted knowledge diffuser! 

And in the bible, it clearly stated diffuses the fragrance (& not awful smell)! 

Meaning to say the fragrance is of good, just like the good Gospel to the world! 

And God specifically phrased this after leading us (me) in triumph in Christ! 

Wow, what's more to say, my blessings are here and, 

I am diffusing the fragrance of His knowledge, good Gospel, through the web to you (in every place as the bible states)!

Hallelujah, I rejoice! You? Proclaim this is for you too! 

Jesus says: "For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them (of us)!"

I m blessed above all things, are you?

Amen!

Unbelieving Believer

Shalom,

God is great and He is above all things we can ever think of.

I just wanna elaborate on how God has continued to assure and re-assure me from time to time again.

It all started with a 2^nd svc yesterday (And we were exactly one hour late for the svc!) 

As the saying goes: “Time & tide wait for no man!” 

BUT.... with God, there will always be a right timing  for us.” 

As we were being ushered to our seats @ the already full Gallery West, 

Prince starts feeding his message @ the same time! (See, right place, right timing!)

Anyway, Prince shared on their recent Israel trip's pictures and their encountered, nothing very particular until certain points where he said that the now word is “Meditation”! 

In fact, we were feeding on his words (like those cattles feeding @ the foot of Mt Arbel, Standing and exposed to the open- RESTLESS). 

What God want is for us to be RESTFUL and chewing on the grass in a reclining (RESTFUL) position; like meditating on the wordings of certain verse until we extract the essence of it!

Well, I thought his words are for everyone in the church. Not until when he cited my favourite PSALM 23 for illustration and quoted John 10:10 (one of Olivia Lum's favourite verse).

Prince also mentioned something very powerful which I can just hear God’s voice behind me telling, “And son, this is for you.”

Here is what Prince said: “Olivia clinched on to two of her favourite verses all these years, and she uses these two verses to overcome all her fears and situations. Aren’t we glad that these two verses got to her first before THE “UNBELIEVING” BELIEVER GET TO HER! “

Hallelujah, it is just like the Holy Spirit is telling me that I already have all the verse in my hands, I can utilise my power & authority over demons, scribes, prophets and to the extend of “unbelieving” believer!

O come on, Jesus has already redeemed us from curses and every mishap, stop condemning myself and walk in His brilliant way!

Abba Father, thank You & thank You for always being with me….. O yes, without further a-do, I went back for 3rd svc for further meditations... Hallelujah!

Your utmost beloved,

Chia

有型的是金钱，无型的是祝福！

Lord Jesus,

Thank You for Your constant presence in me. Thank You for leading me to one similar yet familiar character, whom embraces the Gospel of Grace and finally back into Your shelving wings.

I chanced upon one Taiwanese TV Channel of Christ and got to watch an interview of Eric Moo. Yes, during my teenage years, his songs had accompanied me almost every hour of those years, hence many fond memories.... & I m more 'agreeable' that he is someone I m familiar with!

But why similar? He is successful, so popular in the industry.. what has the two of us have in common?

The answer is obvious, it is Christ Jesus!
Eric used to shut his door off the Gospel of Christ, SO DO I!
Eric used to pay no attention to the fellowships around him, SO DO I!
Eric used to mock and teased anything about Christ, SO DO I!
And most importantly, we both didn't enbraced Jesus, until after we formed our individual family and our children! Hallelujah!

Don't you think our God is a great God?
He always have the right thing for us @ the right timing!
Should we have come into Christ in our earlier age,
we may not have the right teachers for our understandings;
we may find Christianity, a difficult path to follow;
we may not have embraced to the message of Grace; and
we may just depart God like lucifer did!

Abba Father, I thank You.
Despite of all my iniquities, You forgives me.
Despite of my inabilities and weaknesses, You strengthen me.
Despite of being a hand pointing all my transgressions,
You lead me out of the darkness and
direct me to the Your light.

O yes, in Eric's interview, they mentioned about:
有型的是金钱，无型的是祝福！

For my English speaking brethren, it means:-
His great love to you "in visible" may be prosperity, 
& "invisible" will be great blessings! 

O great is the name, our Abba Father, Jesus Christ.

Amen!

Jesus is just a prayer away.....

Shalom and Jesus be with you,

Many a time, we do or rather we do not know what to pray during our worship to Him.
In Luke-11, Jesus teaches the prayer to the Father..

"Our Father in heaven,

 Hallowed be Your name.

 Your kingdom come,

 Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

 Give us day by day our daily bread.

 And forgive us our sins,

 For we also forgive everyone who is indebted to us.

 And do not lead us into temptation,

 But deliver us from the evil one."

Do you find yourself in better peace now? 

For me, "hee hee hee", I m someone whom can't remember long messages, will do the direct way... THAT is to "talk" to the Lord. Many a time, we stammered because we tried to remember scripts or trying hard to get words out of our mouth. 

I've learned to say whatever in my mind even if is with simple words. Alternatively, is to speak to Him in an unknown tongue, words I myself do not understand too.... but do not despise the power of  this speaking!

Hallelujah, so long these words are from your mind, it will be heard by our Abba Daddy, our Lord, our God and most importantly, our SAVIOUR! Like the pictures above, Jesus is just a prayer away!

Amen... Father, Amen!
