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! 

Achieving Vs Receiving

Hallelujah,

I have had a fruitful & awesome weekend on Saturday & Sunday!

Firstly, I witnessed a dear brother- Jimmy Hendrix being Baptised by the Holy Spirit on Saturday. I felt a sense of delight deep inside me during that moment. As if I m being baptised, I almost burst out my tears (Like a father handing her daughter off on her wedding day)..... 

We had celebrated (Yes celebrate not celibate) on that evening! The Holy Spirit suddenly reminded me of a word that was on my mind just days before May 22nd 2010. 

Instantly, I knew that was for Jimmy! Hence, turning to him, I brought forth the word "curse". Everyone was astonished, but their expression soon turned to delightful smile & satisfactions when I burst out: "Curse, take away the "s" & it will be Cure"! And the letter "s" is SERPENT! 

O hallelujah, great is our Heavenly Father whom always washes our feets and as if not enough, feeds us with His Holy Bread.....

Then on Sunday, God opened up my sight to TBN- Trinity Braodcasting Network! Ps Matthew & his lovely wife, Ps Laurie were with us for our Sunday Service! To know that the whole world is seeing New Creation Church is one thing & washing our feet together by His Holy Spirit is another. The feelings of washing feets through His Holy anointing together with brethren around the world is so bonded! 

Lord, I tremendously enjoy Your presence in all days of my live and thank You Lord for accepting me.

O yes, during yesterday message, I deeply dived myself into this phrase:    "It is not of achieving, but through Jesus, we receives.."

Lord, be it unto me according to Your words! AMEN!

I m blessed to be of blessings

Shalom,

God is really great.. not only 1st FA was in, last two weeks. On 13 & 14 May, the 2nd & 3rd FA came in consecutively. His blessings broke the veil & stormed in, even b4 I can bring the 1st FA back to His storehouse! Hallelujah!
As Pastor was still enjoying his brithday celebration with Wendy & Jessica, Ps Lian took over the Pull-Pit on Sunday! I must admire Ps Lian for giving all of us wonderful washings on our feets through a simple word- "Water". Yes, dust off our feets and have the daily water to continue cleaning us through His words!

One of her phrase captured me and that is "I m blessed to be of blessings"!

Hallelujah, God always superabundantly answered our prayers. Yesterday, boss passed me a stack of S$50 notes. It was a sharing of his lottery strike last weekend (which I didn't participate or even know)!
P/s, B4 under Christ mighty grace, I used to chase after these (4D, Toto & BIG Sweep) winnings. But now, these blessings constantly hunt me down while I go after Jesus Christ! PTL, this came in time for my vehicle insurance renewal which is around that amount of money!

Today, I began to pay off part of my many debts with the blessings from Abba Jesus. But I am looking forward to His storehouse again this weekend, my heart is all after Him with His Shalom Peace comforting me in all my situations!

Jesus, Your grace has raised me up.

Jesus, Your truth has set me free!

Jesus, Your loving-Kindness is good,
Jesus, Your multitudes of tender mercies are mine.
Jesus, bless me to be of blessings!

Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen & Amen!

528 = Loving Kindness + Tender Mercies (Part ii)

8  But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God; I trust in and confidently rely on the loving-kindness and the mercy of God forever and ever.

Isn't these words: "loving-kindness & mercy" sounds altogether familar? 

Yes, just last week, the Holy Spirit had given me Psalm- 69:16- O Lord, hear me, for Your "loving-kindness" is good; Turn towards me the multitudes of Your tender "mercies"! I've put it here ;-))

Yet few days later, the Lord had me lay eyes on chpt 52 (btw, i've adapted to the numbers 52, 57, for it is grace, peace & perfection to me! ;-p) Praise be with my Lord, whom keeps assuring me of No More Self Condemnation again & again!

I trust in the Holy Spirit Directed Activities, shield myself under His feathers & rest on His mighty wings. Thank You Lord Jesus for Your uncanning, unconditioned loves to me.

AMEN & AMEN! 

First Fruits

Hallelujah,

PTL, for He continues to supply to all my needs. Thank You Abba Jesus, for Your multitudes of Tender Mercies are turned towards me. I've received the first batch of Your Financial Aids (FA) & already part of my debts are cleared. I hereby standby to take Your subsequent batches of FA in the name of Jesus. 

It is of no wonders that I have been thinking of the word- "First Fruits"; the more I think of it, the more I wanted the rest to be holy. Hence, Romans 11:16 become clear to me, and I can't wait till this Sunday Storehouse of my loving Lord.

Thank You Lord Jesus for Your constance supplies to me all days long. I hereby, am in the Gospel of take, take, take, take and take. After taking, I received, I received, I received, I received & I received. After all these, I goes on taking & receiving in the name of Jesus.

Glory is the Lamb, who was slain for my sake, who shed His precious blood for all my sins, who became poor @ the cross so that I becomes prosper for His name sake.

AMEN, AMEN, AMEN, AMEN & AMEN.....

6916= Loving Kindness + Tender Mercies

Shalom,

Was stuck in a little congestion @ Ikea last evening, and was behind this Red Altis bearing the Number Plate of 6916 (can't remember the prefix.). Something inside me whispered: "Psalm".

As I was driving, I thought of leaving it till home then read it. But then, how many of us know that God can create everything to a standstill to zero-in to an objective just for us? Well, traffic was @ a total standstill and I really can't help but kept thinking of Psalm. Next thing I recalled, I was flipping into Psalm- 69:16. Holy God, the print captured my attention!

Yes, this is the word, the Holy Spirit has for me & I am chewing and rejuvenating it!

Thank You Almighty Lord. Thank You Abba Jesus.

I proclaim Your wonderful works, unconditioned loves & tender mercies onto me.

AMEN!

Believed As In John- 20:29

Shalom,

Dreamt of a close childhood mate, and when I woke up, the word "forgive" was in my mind. I was confused!
Yes, the last time when I saw this brother of mine, was in 2008 and it was because he needed some cash to tide over, & I had lent to him. Yes, he did not return me till date, but it was never in my mind to have it back @ all. Not that I am not in need of money, but, I am glad that I was in the ability to help him...

Thus, I can strongly say that I have never been angry with him. Then why the "Forgive" word came into me right after this dream??

When I was digging out the meaning of this word that Lord has given me, I suddenly recalled of a friend whom I had bad experiences with in term of money. It happened just few years back, and I suffered heavy losses and am still struggling with these bad debts till now. But then haven't I forgiven this friend, Lord? Since I do not have any expectation in retrieving my losses in order to cover my debts?
This is where the Holy Spirit got hold of me! He told me: "Son, you haven't let it go, you are only trying very hard to forget this friend, but you never forgive him!" The Lord further told me: "If you can forgive the other close friend of yours, why not this one and everyone else?".

And this is where I comprehend John- 20:23.

Lord, I repent, I shall not bear any more grudges against anyone, but to truly look upon You for guidances. For this, I see that the blessings of Deuteronomy- 28:12 unto my family, my friends & me!

Lastly, I wanna enjoy myself in John- 20:29, & I wanna you to enjoy this too.....

Amen!

From Your Beloved son, Chia.

A.S.K (Ask, Seek, Knock) = Jesus Blessings

Someone ever told me: "Ask & u'll oni b a fool for a moment but wise, forever.".

I definitely agree especially when Matthew 7:7 tells me:

"Ask, & it'll be given to me

; seek, & u'll find

; knock, & it'll be opened to me!".

& better still, the Lord reminded me of a recent verse in John 14:14-

"Ask anything in His name, & He'll do it for us.".

My dear brethren, a simple faith He sees in us will SURELY open up His grace to us!

Receive His blessings that are meant for you & for me!

Life More Abundantly

Shalom,

Somewhere last July, I've blogged on John 10-10 on mum's stay in Penang Hospital. You can read it here.

During that moment, I felt an "instant peace" in my heart, not knowing how I was able to be so relaxed. Half year later, Ps Prince preached on Olivia Lum's favourite verses. Of which, one of it is John 10:10, then do I realised that during the moment in Penang Hospital, the feeling I encountered is what we always call- His Shalom Peace! 

In fact, God never leave our prayer unanswered. My mum is recovering much faster then expected and the fact that she is now in much better shape then those days. Thanks be it to God, for these healing, for Jesus says that He comes that there may be life! 

Better still, He wants us have it more abundantly! Some few weeks back, mum suddenly starts telling us of her old friend whom used to worship idols previously, has started to embrace the message of His grace! Hallelujah! From here, mum is more opened out and receptive to us telling her about Jesus and His loves for the world!

Lord, You told us that we are already inherit Your Kingdom due to Your Devine Exchange @ Calvary. Therefore I now proclaim our inheritance in Jesus name. Hence, I call forth, devine healing over my mum, my family and myself; super-natural cancellations of debts over our family; super-abundant prosperity over our finance; Your devine blessings over our family and household; Renewal of our youth like the eagle. All these, we call forth in the name of Jesus, AMEN!

As for you? Call forth what you want now...... (And on my next blog, it'll be related to what you call forth.. stay tune!)

God blessings to you!

Bread & Wine= Body & Blood

Shalom,

It has been scourging hot in the day time and when come to evening, it has been pouring cats & dogs.

To be very frank, I started John- 6:56 w/o any revelation. In fact, I have not been partaking the Holy Communion regularly of late, and shame on me is my ribena (Jesus resembled blood) ran out......
And there's where the Holy spirit got my attention. I began searching high & low for any phrase saying that the cup Jesus holds was filled with any red liquid! To my amaze, there wasn't any statement stating that.

Yes! & I know the Holy Spirit given me no excuse for not partaking even if I ran out of resources. So long, by faith, I partake anything in Jesus name, I will get it...... Yes, & my next writing will be related to this paragraph....

See ye.

In Jesus almighty name, AMEN!

John- 3:16-17

The recent Passover has been a very different one as compared to my previous 36 years.....

I will never comprehend the true meaning behind every Good Friday until John- 3:16-17 come into me. I truly believe He has redeemed me from all my sins- once & for all on that faithful day, 2010 years ago. All our sins, past, present & future had been fully paid for by Jesus precious blood!

Thus, start appreciating our freedom, for His amazing grace has flooded through that broken wall and set us free! If God only remember our sins, there's no need for Jesus, His precious Son, to die our death. Hence, rather then self-reproach, why not approach the Throne of grace and live the Shalom life?

I m one very classical example to many who are still living under condemnations. In my previous life, I always finds my life full of guilts, condemnations and curses. It resulted me always murmuring against all my surroundings and led me to low self-esteem.

BUT, the very day I know how much Jesus love me when He was being scourged, striped, humiliated, wore my crown of thorns on my behalf. I know, my curses has surely ended on the Cross, He heavily carried, when He shouted "It is finished"!

Praise be it with God, for He always lead me in triumphs in Christ, and through me, diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in all places. I now sees things I have never experience in my previous life and I know that I was dead and is alive, was lost and is found.

Hallelujah, Thank You Jesus for loving me & dying for me on the cross. Your precious blood washes me clean of every sin. You are my Lord and my Saviour, now and forever. I believe that You rose from the dead and that You are alive today. Because of Your finished work, I am now a beloved child of God and heaven is my home. Thank You for giving me eternal life, and filling my heart with Your peace and joy. 

Amen, Amen and Amen!

From Your beloved prodigal son.

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!

Victorious Livings

My dear Brethren,

Shalom and God’s devine blessings to you.

In Luke- 9:44, Jesus said: "Let these words sink down into your ears, for the Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men."

It has never occur to me that Jesus has passed on His power of healing to us, we can be of great healing ability by His name! O you of little faith, look @ the context before this verse!

In verse 38 to 40, it showed us a man was seeking Jesus to cast out the demon of his only son due to the incapability of His disciples.

Then in verse 41, Jesus mentioned two very important notes:-

a)      “O faithless and perverse generation,”

b)      “How long shall I be with you and bear with you”

It is always our unbelieves or rather, we don’t think we have His holy power, we lost whatever battle we are in!

And the most crucial part is on verse 42, when Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the child, and gave him back to his father. Brothers and sisters, this is what Jesus wants us to “sink down into our ears”. We are the righteousness of God in Christ and we have the power to cast out demons and heal the sicks!

Be of good cheers, brethren! The greatest demon is in you and only His Cross in you will lead to victorious livings! For it is written that It is the power of God unto salvation!

Father Jesus, as You are, so am I in this world! Be unto me according to Your word!

Amen!

To die or to sleep?

Shalom,

Was reading on Matthew 5:39- When He came in, He said to them, “Why make this commotion and weep? The child is not dead, but sleeping.” 
My mind flashed back to a recent sermon Pastor preached....that whoever in Christ will not die, we just sleep... And in the case of Jairus daughter, she also went into sleep. 


Hallelujah, I was about to die when a precious brother- Jimmy Hendrix, brought  me to live (Jesus) and given me sleep (REST). 


Thank You Lord, for never forsaking a sick soul like me. Abba, let me be one sinner You can use to be of blessings to many others thru Your will.....


Let it be according to Your words.....
