Signs of the End of the Age

The last of the last days are here.

  1. Matt 24
  • The gospel of GOD shall be preached and spread through us to all the Nations out there as the world is coming to an end. The reason why we are alive in GOD and vice versa, and that we are still physically alive is because we need every single person on earth to praise him, to love him eternally before the world eventually ends, not just so we Christians could sit back and enjoy what GOD has promised us.
  • Do not ever give up just because we couldn't see any progress or harvest or that we have been let down. You will reach your purpose! God's got you, every single one of us, to go out to every corner of the world, stepping out in FAITH, to spread the word of GOD no matter how many times you have been let down.
  • Let's all have a vision for the world! Bring Christ back! Get your priorities right in GOD's way! GOD will BLESS you!
  • Above all else, guard your heart! Do not be deluded, keep away from temptations, keep your heart pure! Only be guided by the Lord and not by your friends and the world! Live in GOD! Don't be distracted!
  • Release your imagination! Think widely. Exercise more of your right brain (that's where all your imagination comes from). GOD wants us to be more creative, more daring and courageous! Let us be non-restricted!
  • JESUS is coming soon! Very soon!

Time is running out! Amen!

Our FAITH brings deliverance to many!

Okay, just another short message to spread across the world.

  1. 1 Samuel 23: 1-5

We do have our own needs to overcome, BUT GOD will deliver you as you deliver through him. Look beyond your needs. There was an overwhelming need, David (before he became King) and the rest of his men had their personal needs, BUT, there was a word from GOD. David, although he and his men were running away from King Saul, had to fight a battle for Keilah, an ally of King Saul, and they won beating the Philistines. So then again, let's take up and stand up! Arise and GO now! GOD will deliver your "enemies" into your hands. If your hands do not obey GOD and are missing , how can yoube delivered? How can GOD deliver miracles into our hands if we do not step out into FAITH? You can't expect something new or some kind of a miracle if you don't move up. Nothing's going to change if youu don't change. David and the rest of his men were BLESSED by GOD for stepping out in FAITH. Psalms 31: 8. GOD enabled protection for them. So once again! Step out in FAITH and deliver others needs through GOD!

Forgiveness

Yeah, this topic again, people may say. As it always says, Love keeps no records of Wrongs.
How 'bout starting with these:

  1. 1 Cor 13; 1 Cor 13:5.
  2. Matt 22: 37-40
  3. Psalm 1: 30
  4. 3 John 2
  • Understanding about offences and conflicts.

All these divides us. They are the friction of life; traps; stumbling blocks. It's impossible not to have them! BUT we can prepare ourselves to expect the unexpected. Traps are hidden; disguised such that we get it, duh! And when we get trapped, it's often very hard to be released.

  • Forgiveness is something beautiful until we are affected by it, until we need to forgive someone and let go.
  • Forgiveness is something to let go of, it's letting go of our resentments, our grudges, our desires to get even.

5. Proverbs 14: 10

  • You may say that nobody can really understand another easily, true. But GOD knows your thoughts and feelings. No one under the same circumstances can ever experience the same thing.

6. Matt 18: 21-25

  • Understanding the power of forgivenes.

There can be no records of wrongs to be kept or remembered. Forgiveness begins with understanding how merciful and forgiving GOD has been to you!

7. Isaiah 43: 25

8. 1 John 1: 9

  • Forgiving others is easy as we compare the debts.

9. Psalms 103: 2-3

  • The one who truly understands forgiveness is the one who practices it.

10. Matt 18: 31-35

  • Forgiveness is granted because of the terrible consequences of not forgiving.

11. Unforgiveness can lead to...

  • Mark 11: 15---- Spiritual problems. GOD has always forgiven you so why can't you?
  • Emotional problems. You will start to breakdown, trying to keep all the records of the wrongdoings of others. It will distort your emotions.
  • The only antidote towards sorrow and hurts is forgiveness.
  • Sickness and diseases. GOD takes away all our sickness and diseases when we release our forgiveness towards others. GOD tries to draw us near by "adding" the former.
  • Hebrews 12: 15---- Broken relationships. GOD heals our relationships when we ask for forgiveness and vice versa. Proverbs 24: 29. Powerful miracles will happen! GOD releases these into our lives! Col 3: 13
  • Revenge means nothing! When you have Jesus, you have ALL. GOD will always be closer to us!

Keep movin' upwards! Don't slide! Spread the word of Jesus! Love your enemies! SO THERE!

Bringing Salvation To Others

1) Read Luke 14, The parable of the great banquet.
This man wanted his friends to come to his house as he wanted to give a banquet but all his friends refused as they each had something to do. The host was angry, yeah. He then asked his servant to BRING in the poor, the crippled, the blind and the lame. The same servant told his master that there was still some more room in the house. So the host ordered him to keep BRINGING them in till his house was full. Those whom he invited were not allowed in.

So what is this all about?
Just as the master remembered and counted the poor, the crippled and the rest, Jesus is stating that every single human in this world counts as we are all priceless. We count people as people count! We don't just invite people, we BRING people to God's Salvation. We cannot be let down even if that person just keeps ignoring you over your invitations to your Church. Believe in God that your loved ones, your friends, even enemies and strangers (Eg. Foreign people living in our midst)! We are the fishermen who CATCH fish, the former doesn't invite fish, do they? We are the salt of the Earth, we BRING flavour. Farmers don't wait for the harvest, they SOW the seeds. Every time you go to Church, pray for those "crippled" and the "blind" who pass by the Church or are brought to Church that they will be confronted by God. It's like them walking in a fog. Pray that these people who are being rejected, hurt, lost...etc. will have some kind of feeling they never could describe, yet feel overwhelmed. Of course if you ever bring your friend over to Church, anything can happen, don't bother asking how they are feeling as they can't describe anyway. God's presence will fill them, overflowing them. Amen?
Firstly, do you really and deeply love your Church? If not, we would be like zombies and look scary and boring...Which prebeliever will want to go to a Church like that? So SMILE! LAUGH WHOLEHEARTEDLY! NEVER BE GROUCHY or anything else silly, I don't know.
Why should we BRING and not only to invite?
See here, if you only invite these people, you are leaving them the responsibility of bringing themselves to Church to meet up with you. The devil wouldn't want that, would he? He keeps them busy with their lives and there will always be distractions around them. Remember the master's friends? They have no FAITH, don't know that the devil even exists (even so, the wrong impression of the devil). So it's better that we MAKE SURE THAT WE BRING THEM. It's better for us to be attacked by the devil as we have God on our side. We have the FAITH, the LOVE of God and his Kingdom. We have the authority over the devil! Pray that the lost sheep will be touched by God and know what they've been missing in their entire lives, even as we are worshipping God, even before the Preacher starts. Pray before you go in the Church!
PUSH ON! GO GET YOUR LOST SHEEP! Well, they don't know what exactly is the meaning of "Church" and we don't know what their past hurts and feelings are so it can be uncomfortable. But they are like the walking dead and the blind, they can't go to your Church alone, they need a deliverer, YOU! They 've been blinded by their pasts and are crippled in their hearts and minds! It takes effort and time for us, not them! We must not want to leave them the work and responsibility.
2) Luke 10, The Parable of the good Samaritan.
The Samaritan took responsibility to take care and valued the wounded man. He BROUGHT him to an inn and even paid for the bills. People don't like going to places which they don't feel safe in so make your Church very WARM. Be sincere! There are people out there who want to be restored, rebuilt and rid of their hurts whether in the past and in the present. Show them that they are of VALUE! How can we tell them that God Values them if we don't show Value to them? INVEST in their lives! Yeah, give them lunches (the Chinese like to do that) and gifts, encourage them! This is not bribing. We are BRINGERS not inviters (if there's ever such a word).
HAVE CARE AND COMPASSION! And GOD BLESS ALWAYS!

The "Preacher" 's back!

It has been more than 3 months since I last posted something. Seems like I was busy doing other things and being addicted to things like Facebook. had projects and tests. With all those as my reasons, I've been so guilty. Every time I listened to a gospel, I always felt so tempted to write them down here. I ended up doing other things, wasn't very focused, was I? I'm not a good Blogger at all, I don't really know how to write good sentences and all that. However, I hope to start, slowly though. I'm not going to write much about my life nor other's. Nothing offensive nor disturbing I hope. And yes, I'm terribly lazy even though the gospel's good. Starting soon...

What a miracle!

Last Sunday a pastor by the name of Jude Fouquier visited my church sharing a gospel about having a prayer of Faith in God. He went on telling of the experiences and miracles he had especially after he prayed to God every time a problem arose. My ears and my heart really began to open up absorbing what he said. In James 5:13-20, we can derive from the passage that the prayer of Faith is God's language. It's getting us into God's mind. God will listen to us when we pray. He is willing to answer our prayers. In Mark 1:40-41, it is known that prayers work! There is a power in prayers that will open the minds of people. We should not doubt when praying and instead know that everything is possible for him who believes as it is said in Mark 9:21-23. Lastly, in Mark 11:22-24, Jesus said that we must have Faith in God! Whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.Whatever that is in our way will go away as God delivers us out of the devil. Remember that's the reason why we pray! Believe in God! I wanted to share this online as I fell sick on Monday, the next day that pastor preached. Well I have a weakness for Oyster omelette... Juicy oysters which are about to burst with the starchy egg omelette together with this really special and good chili sauce...and I ate it on that very Sunday. On Monday, I had a sudden feeling I was going to have some kind of stomach flu or food poisoning so I quickly visited the doctor. I was the last patient, thank God the doctor was still in, they were about to close. Got an injection too. And so I got food poisoning, the oysters were the culprit, guess they were not fresh. My dad ate them too but his response was later; last night he had a really bad stomachache. I vomited a number of times, even vomiting out the bitter medicine...and had diarrhoea in the middle of the night over so many times. I could even hear the grumble in my stomach. I prayed, thanking God that it was n't worse than I expected, I got food poisonings and stomach flu the last few years and they were worse off. I thought of the preach and went to believe that God will heal me by the next day. I gradually felt much better, and in all the years, I never got so much better so fast! And so now I'm healed! Praise the Lord! Right! And now I'm pretty busy with some things that I promised some of my friends to do for them and I mustn't go back on my word. Bon voyage to some of my friends who are going on a trip and have already gone for their trips! Do be careful and have a Blessed Christmas! Guess I will only be going to Geneva next year!

The Life of Pi

Right now I'm reading The Life of Pi. What if all the religions on Earth are actually loving the same God? Some religions think that there are many Gods, just like God of rain, God of the crops and some religions just love God in a different way. So are we actually loving the same God but in different ways and that some could have gotten the wrong ideas way back then? It's just like there is a Mother who died giving birth to triplets. The triplets grow up and no one tells them what happened to their Mother and what type of person she is. So it's up to them to decide what happened to their Mother. They do know that they have a Mother and they have proof as of what type of person she is but then it's still up to them to believe what's right. So again, the world has only one God as I clearly don't believe in many Gods. If there's a God, he should be able to do every single thing, he is the God of everything. In some religions, there are many Gods that can only do some things, have one or two powers and all that. But being a God, he should be able to do everything, not just a God of rain or whatever only. He is the God of rain, crops, and so on. Only one religion is correct though.
