This is one of the best clean jokes I've seen in awhile!
Jesus and Satan were having an on-going argument about who
was better on the computer. They had been going at it for days, and frankly God
was tired of hearing all the bickering.
Finally fed up, God said, 'THAT'S IT! I have had enough. I
am going to set up a test that will run for two hours, and from those results, I
will judge who does the better job.'
So Satan and Jesus sat down at the keyboards and typed away.
They moused.
They faxed.
They e-mailed.
They e-mailed with attachments.
They downloaded.
They did spreadsheets!
They wrote reports.
They created labels and cards.
They created charts and graphs.
They did some genealogy reports .
They did every job known to man.
Jesus worked with heavenly efficiency and Satan was faster
than hell.
Then, ten minutes before their time was up, lightning
suddenly flashed across the sky, thunder rolled, rain poured, and, of course,
the power went off.
Satan stared at his blank screen and screamed every curse
word known in the underworld.
Jesus just sighed.
Finally the electricity came back on, and each of them
restarted their computers. Satan started searching frantically, screaming:
'It's gone! It's all GONE! 'I lost everything when the power
went out!'
Meanwhile, Jesus quietly started printing out all of his
files from the past two hours of work.
Satan observed this and became irate.
'Wait!' he screamed. 'That's not fair! He cheated! How come
he has all his work and I don't have any?'
God just shrugged and said,
JESUS SAVES....
Keep the Faith!

How Much More Will God Take Care Of You
We humans are always good at worrying over something.
Think it's our passion. lolx!
When we worry about small things, in our hearts and minds it become
so big that unconsciously, it's already teaching us not to enjoy life anymore.
We can spend all day...all night worrying until we get sick to the core.
I used to worry alot. Maybe I got it from my mom. Even now, she worries
about not having money, money , money.
This part of worrying about money sickens me.
The thought for years even affects the way I tithe...
Yeah.. for now..all I can give to the Lord is just an offering. Pathetic huh?
But
somewhere at the back of my mind , there's a thought pinching inside of me that
says I should really tithe because it's for my own good.
I know. I know!
I should let go.
And I do need lotsa of revelations on this.
Do I need to struggle?
I told Abba, "Abba, I'm your child...I am blessed without that tithe, right?"
I am waiting for His answer ...for the meantime let me pray..
"Jesus, I don't like this attitude in me about tithing.
Please take over it and free me from this bondage..
If I run out of time and too slow to learn, pleeeeeeaaase RELEASE me
from this. I will tithe without having thoughts of trying to impress you
like saying " Look Lord, I tithed! You should bless me too!" ..
I don't like that attitude Lord.
When I tithe.. I want it to come from heart and says,
"Jesus, here's all what I have to give you for everything that
you've done in my life..I take you as my partner in life now and
please take this as an appreciation and a bond between you and me.
This I pray in Jesus mighty name....
AMEN!"
For the meantime, let me share this wonderful daily devotional
from Ps Joseph Prince with you.
Hope it will set you free from any bondage of "worrying" in any
areas of your life.
Me? I don't need to worry about thie "tithing" issue in me.
For my Abba, should know what to do.
Gently He will guide and lead me...For sure He will do the same to you.
Good morning everyone.
"How Much More Will God Take Care Of You!"
Matthew 6:26
26Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?
Perched on a tree branch, two birds were observing passers-by rushing from one place to another. Looking at their faces, one bird asked the other, “Why is man so full of worries and cares?” The other bird answered, “Maybe they don’t have a heavenly Father like we do.”
I believe that the Lord made birds to tell us that we are of more value than many birds put together. In Matthew 10:29, Jesus said, “Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin?” Then, in Luke 12:6, He said, “Are not five sparrows sold for two copper coins?” If you do the math, you will realize that these sparrows are so cheap that you can buy four of them for two copper coins, and you get one thrown in for free!
Sparrows are common creatures in Israel. Yet, not even one of these cheap birds falls to the ground without the Father’s knowledge. (Matthew 10:29) Not one of them is forgotten before Him. (Luke 12:6) So will He forget you who are of more value than all these birds put together?
Jesus said, “Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them.” And if your heavenly Father feeds the birds of the air, how much more will He feed you, His precious, beloved child!
“Why don’t I see the supply then?” you may ask.
The answer is worry. That is why Jesus also said, “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’… For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.” (Matthew 6:31–32)
Beloved, if your heavenly Father cares for cheap, common birds, and feeds them every day, how much more will He care for you, His dear, precious child! Let your heart be at rest as you hear Him say to you, “Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.” (Matthew 10:31)

God Hears Your Prayers
Because of this TRUTH...God has become my bestfriend.
Enjoy this powerful message from Ps Joseph Prince peepz and BE BLESSED!!!
God Hears Your Prayers
Romans 4:7–8
7“Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, and whose sins are covered; 8blessed is the man to whom the Lord shall not impute sin.”
Some people think that if they were more “right” with God, then He would hear their prayers. For example, they sometimes believe that if they had not quarreled with their wives or had those bad thoughts earlier in the day, then God would answer their prayers.
God is not like that. He wants you to know beyond any doubt that you can always come to His throne of grace with boldness and have every confidence that you will receive His mercy and grace. (Hebrews 4:16) You see, because of Jesus’ finished work on the cross, you are already right with God. You don’t need to do anything to make yourself more right with God.
In fact, by faith in Jesus, you have received the righteousness of God Himself! (2 Corinthians 5:21) And no matter how many mistakes you make, you will never lose that righteousness because in the first place, God gave it to you apart from your works. (Romans 4:5–6) In other words, God did not impute righteousness to you because you were good, but because you believed in Jesus.
Because of what Jesus has done for you at the cross, all your sins — past, present and future — are forgiven. God will by no means ever remember your sins or count them against you! (Hebrews 8:12, 10:17)
My friend, because Jesus has been punished for your sins, today, God is not counting your sins against you. This means that your sins won’t stop Him from hearing and responding to your prayers. So you can always run into His presence knowing that you can boldly stand in and enjoy His presence and His love.
When you know this truth, it is going to set you free in your relationship with God. You can talk to Him without fear or any sense of condemnation. You can practice His presence and trust that He always hears you. Should something happen at home or at work, you don’t always have to call for your church leaders — you pray and God hears you!
Beloved, you are righteous in Christ and God hears your prayers — all because of Jesus!

Ask In Jesus’ Name And Receive
John 16:23
23“… Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you.
Do you always end your prayers with “in Jesus’ name”? Maybe your Sunday school teacher taught you to do this, or maybe you have heard church leaders and other believers utter it at the end of their prayers.
I used to say “in Jesus’ name” very quickly as if those were magic words that would get my prayers answered. Then, one day, I heard the Lord asking me why I was doing that.
The Lord wanted me to realize that whenever I pray and say “in Jesus’ name”, I am putting my entire faith for my prayer to be answered not in who I am or what I have done, but in the person and name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and what He has done at the cross!
Whenever we ask God for anything in Jesus’ name, Jesus says to us, “Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name, He will give you.” This means that in your prayer for healing, when you say “in Jesus’ name”, healing comes over your sick body because it is by His stripes that you are healed. (1 Peter 2:24) In your prayer for protection, when you say “in Jesus’ name”, you are kept safe because the blood of Jesus protects and delivers you from evil. (Exodus 12:13)
Beloved, the good name of your family cannot save you. Your pastor’s name cannot save you. Even the name of the latest medical breakthrough cannot save you. Only one name under heaven can save you — Jesus! And the good news is that His name in Hebrew, Yeshua, means salvation — healing, preservation, wholeness, wellness, provision, prosperity, safety and deliverance for you and your family!
So these days, whenever I pray, I slow down at the end of my prayer and say, “Father, I ask all this not based on what I have or have not done, but based on Jesus and His finished work at the cross. I ask all this in Jesus’ name. Amen!”

Thank Your Way To Peace
I thank God each day because no matter how stupid I become,
He never leaves me.
I thank Him too for sending His only Son Jesus.
Now I know!
I will really never make it without Jesus!
Jesus, you know how I feel right now.
Great storm is raging at me.
Thank you for the PEACE Jesus!
I believe, we will make it. I know:)
Enjoy the daily devo from Ps Josepn Prince peepz!
"Thank Your Way To Peace"
Philippians 4:6
6Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;
You would probably have read this verse before, but would you like to know how to apply it in your everyday life? Let me give you an illustration to help you.
Let’s say that you are one of those in your company eligible for a promotion and you will know tomorrow whether you get it. You want the promotion badly because it means more income for your family. So you lie in bed at night tossing and turning. You pray, “Father, please take away all my worries about this promotion. Give me faith.” One hour later, you are more anxious than ever. It seems like God is not answering your prayer!
How come? Because you are not doing it God’s way.
Pray like this instead: “Father, I cast all my worries about the promotion into Your loving hands because You care for me and love me.” The Bible tells us to cast all our cares upon the Lord for He cares for us. (1 Peter 5:7) Then, say, “Father, I would like to have the promotion.” It is okay to ask Him for that. Now, here comes the most powerful part — thanksgiving. Finish off with thanksgiving. Thank God for His faithfulness.
Say something like, “Father, whether I get the promotion or not, I thank You that You will always provide for my family with more than enough. You who feed the birds of the air and clothe the lilies of the field will take care of us. So I am not going to worry about this promotion. You are the source of all my blessings.” (Matthew 6:30, Philippians 4:19)
When you pray like this, all of a sudden, you are no longer held hostage by the promotion. I call this the “thank You” therapy. The more you know God’s Word, the more you can thank Him. The more you thank Him, the more His peace reigns in your heart. And many a time, before you know it, it is morning! You don’t even remember falling asleep. The peace of God reigns like that.
My friend, whatever your concern is, bring it to your Father in prayer and thank your way to peace!

The Mysterious Truth
With my given gift of free choice , I have alot
of options.
Ok forget about me being a Christian first.
Let's say I am a normal person walking here on
earth with alot of things to do.
I get busy trying to earn a living to live.
I walk, eat, sleep and get bored.
Now let me ask you.
Do I need healing?
Do I need protection from all the deadly diseases
that have been found?
Do I need blessings and favour?
For me. My only answer is Yes!!
I'm just practical.
Now I was talking about my physical world.
What about my spiritual world?
Do I have a soul?
Well, I firmly believe I do.
Now. Does my soul need saving?
Now hold it right there.
Pause. Think hard.
Atheists and non-believers could just shrug their
shoulders off on this question. They'd tell you stuffs like you're a delusional or crazy to believe in something or someone that doesn't exist.
Thats their reality.
Hardcore Christians of course will say and tell you
"Get saved!"
For me both are just hearsays because nobody really has seen God personally.
Both parties maybe telling a lie.
Who knows. But hey!
Let me tell you. That's where Faith comes in.
I believe I have a soul.
And for believing that. Of course to play safe.
I need to save it because God in the Bible is telling us what to do.
How can I save it?
Let me paste this scripture again.
I tell you. No one really knows the truth except the Bible.
Think about it. Why would God tell us this TRUTH thru the prophets in the Bible?
Does it really crossed your mind?
