God is "Tri"Omni"s"

The raindrops of the morning drizzle tapping gently on the glass panel windows. I slowly opened my eyes & my clock shows 6:33.....

Matthew 6:33 rushes through my mind follows by Matthew 7:7. Hey didn't I blog both blogs here & here? Like Memory Flashcards, Luke 11:3 also flooded into my mind within those few minutes.

Yes, I was recently having some reservations of whether should I continue with my current situations or should I start thinking of alternatives? But many things have pulled down and restricted my movements. These have caused struggling inside me and I simply can't lift it up nor let it go.

But how many of us understands that God is Tri-Omni:- Omnipresence, Omniscience plus Omnipotent. He know us and know at which point we are lost too. He is the Master of the universe and He is also the solutions to all our situations!

All in all, when I piece the verses together, it really make sense:-

First of all, God sees my worries and Jesus reveals to me "Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." (Matt 6:33)
After assuring me, the Lord guide me to “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you." (Matt 7:7)
As if knowing I can't rest and impatient for the fruit, Abba Father further pray with me "Give us day by day our daily bread." (Luke 11:3)

By showing me these verses again, He "reminded" me of Ps Prince preaching last Sunday. Ps told us that God wants us to remind Him, not because God is forgetful but because God enjoy us communicating with Him!
Ps used a very simple illustration between Jessica (Prince's lovely ten year old) and himself as an example. During their recent vacation, Ps was made to take the Roller Coaster with Jessica. And mind you, Ps never enjoy this ride but because of his love for Jess, he relented. Just @ that moment, Jess turned and told her daddy that she knew he didn't like to take the ride... The next sentence from her mouth really explained why God love to have us reminding Him. Jessica said: "Daddy, thank you for taking the ride with me.."  (If anyone hasn't been shaken by her words, then I will say he's a liar!) Isn't this like how God feels of us when we remind Him?
From a daddy's point of view, I will go all out for my little Xylon, so long it will leave even the slightest impression in his growing up years. No amount of words can express how comforted I will be. At all cost, everything is worth it! This is what the Lord feel when we reminded Him of us, of our prayers, of our situations and of our longings......

Lastly, in relate to Lord's presence first thing this morning, Abba is always with me- Omnipresence, guide me- Omniscience and  lead me out of my situations- Omnipotent. 

My brethren, in all our situations, so long Jesus is in the mist, we will never be lost but reign with victorious life!

Hallelujah, Lord, I am unable, but only You can.

AMEN!

Only Jesus Alone, Provide.....

Was suddenly awaken @ 6:30am with fresh memories of two verses: 

“A thousand on your side and ten thousand on your right” & “No weapon formed against you shall prosper”! 

After flipping and tossing a few times, I just couldn’t get back to sleep. I know, the Lord is talking to me again.

Slowly, I booted up my iPhone to check out on YouVersion for these verses. I went for the famous 91 Psalm first (that’s how I call it..) whereby for the first 4 verses, the Lord hunt me to be safely ducked under His mighty shadow which I appreciate His refuge and fortress over me. On verse 5-6, He assure me that no demon nor devil can affect me. And the moment of truth kicked in on verse 7 whereby nothing harmful or evil can come near to me. In the end, the Lord satisfied me with long  life & show me  His salvation.
The revelation kicked in when I pieced both Psalm 91:7 and Isaiah 54:17 together. And when I read out loud
“A thousand on your side and ten thousand on your right & no weapon formed against you shall prosper”! 
Wow, what great supplies from the Lord @ the beginning of the day and first working day of the week!

While chewing on these words, He keeps feeding me with  Psalm 105 on verse  8 "He remember His covenant” and also  verse 37  “He brought them out with silver and gold and there was none feeble among His tribes". At that instant, the Holy Spirit activated His wisdom by putting myself in these two verses. Well, I proclaim :
"He remember His covenant with us (Christian). And He brought us out (of the recent economic crisis) with silver and gold and there was none (of us) feeble among His tribes (sonship)"!

Hallelujah, Lord, bring it on and be unto me according  to Your words.

Mark for Ps Mark?

Shalom,

In the light of recent articles of my beloved Ps Mark, the Holy Spirit reminded me of a sermon Ps Prince recently preached. 

In this sermon, Ps Prince gave an account of how Jesus demonstrate His authority over the sick and rebukes the scribes. Ps uses the book of Mark 2 (You see, it was prepared b4 hand for Ps "Mark"!), on Jesus healing the paralytic when He sees their faith. 

Ps Mark was just like the paralytic before he embraces the love of Jesus, and it was through our Lord, Ps Mark is healed! 
Then on verse 6 & 7, the scribes reasoned among themselves and shouts blasphemies @ Jesus. Well, this is exactly what we are seeing and hearing about Ps Mark now (Well Ps Mark, like you always says, "when the rubbers meet the road"). The scribes and serpents will always make good use of such cases to attack the message of grace. 
Will this make them happier in  mind? To my opinion, it just boiled these vipers up and in life, they will always live with agonies, hatred and pains. 
The difference for me is that I don't just stop on verse 6 & 7, for from verse 8 onwards, Jesus explain, guide and lead me out of all situations! Hallelujah!

O Lord, thank You for being my Shepherd, I m Your beloved sheep, lost, found & abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

Praise to the Lord, our God, our Abba Daddy. 

AMEN & AMEN!

Nothing Is Everything!

Whenever I read Mark- 6:7-11, I always couldn't comprehend why there is such passage existed. It is so simple & straight-forward as if there's no significance need for it's existence. So I always let it passed & not a second thought to it. 

Not until the Holy anointing flank unto me.....

It all happened during yesterday service. I told Lord of a new role offered to me by my boss, and I needed Lord's rod to guide and lead me.

You see, two weeks back, my boss had spoken to me on my current role and offered me a totally new pavement. He wants me to put a thinker to it of whether to stay back in current comfort zone which lead no prospects. OR to learn the new trade while he is still able to guide me. Though the new path is an exciting and challenging task, it is also a risky track that I may ended up in bad book due to OP (Office Politics). I have to weigh between current comfort zone or future prospect and I need to give boss an answer soon.

As usual, the Lord never forget nor forsake me. He always uses simple ways to guide and lead me. It all happen during the daily affair of Great White Throne. I was reading Luke 22 this morning, when the Lord gives me His answer on verse 35! Yes, the word is "nothing", and it is everything I need from the Lord! 
Confuse? You see, when I read this verse, the Holy Spirit reminded me of my thoughts of Mark 6:7-11. The answer is a simple "nothing". The twelve will not loose a single thing even if the Jews rejected their preaching and healing. They just need to shake off the dust under their feet!

Isn't it like my case? I can choose to take up the new task with a heart full of blessings to the company not wanting to gain anything. If I have no intention of gaining for myself but blessings to others, I loose nothing in the end! And if things don't really work (With God, I strongly doubt this will happen! For it is written, with God, everything is possible!), shake off the dust under my feet and walk away. 

Hallelujah Lord Jesus, I thank You for Your anointing over me and Abba, I thank You for blessings me to be of blessings.....

Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen & Amen!

Hearing, Not Seeing..


Though I had read the book of Luke for 3-5 times, this has never come unto me until now....





Christ Heals Bartimaeus

18:35  Then it happened, as He was coming near Jericho, that a certain blind man sat by the road begging. 36 And hearing a multitude passing by, he asked what it meant. 37 So they told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by. 38 And he cried out, saying, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” 39  Then those who went before warned him that he should be quiet; but he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” 40 So Jesus stood still and commanded him to be brought to Him. And when he had come near, He asked him, 41 saying, “What do you want Me to do for you?”
He said, “Lord, that I may receive my sight.” 42  Then Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight; your faith has made you well.”43 And immediately he received his sight, and followed Him, glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.

Yes, from verse 35-38, a nameless blind man- Bartimaeus, kept calling out to Jesus. Moreover this blind man knew all about Jesus, for he knew Jesus being the descendent of David. And this is one of the part that the Lord opened my sight.... Yes, Bartimaeus is conscious of Jesus and His abilities.

Den on the next verse is another eye opener! As it reveals that those around this blind man warned him to be quiet! What is this sentence showing me? 
Okay, take myself as an example. I (Bartimaeus) once was blind, indulged blindly in idols until Lord flung His wide doors to me. And It was during that period, people (pharisees) around me warned & prevented me from further knowing Abba. If i had listened to them, i may be another walking dead soul. But I m so glad that I reacted like Bartimaeus whom persisted in continuosly calling out to Jesus... 

Verse 40-42 tells us that Jesus will never ignore nor forsake anyone calling out to Him. Not only will He reach out towards us but He give sight to the blinds & heal us all!

The gist of these chapter lies on verse 43. Bartimaeus received his sight, and follow Him & glorifying God while the rest must see it then give praises to God! Lord blesses me with His devine wisdom here by showing me that Bartimaeus being blind, did not see to believe & was being healed. While the rest need to see it then give praises to God but may not be able to receive His healing.....

Thus this is another great example of faith comes by hearing, & hearing the word of God..... 

Hallelujah Lord, I thank You for Your devine wisdom given unto me...

AMEN!
