Life Above The Sun by Joseph Prince

Life Above The Sun by Joseph Prince

John 10:10
10… I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

When you are not enjoying abundant life, you will feel as if life is full of toil. In your heart, life is meaningless and empty. You feel like someone “grasping for the wind”. (Ecclesiastes 2:11)

It seems as if nothing you do adds up to much. The Bible calls this life “under the sun”. (Ecclesiastes 2:11) Someone who lives life under the sun may or may not know God, but God is either forgotten or not the center of things in his life. His thoughts are earthly and he does things to gratify his flesh. In the end, he finds life depressing and unfulfilled. Life under the sun is full of despair.

But this is not so with someone who lives life above the sun with God. For life with Him is filled with joy and pleasures at His right hand. (Psalm 16:11) Life is abundantly full and good just as Jesus promised — “I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly”.

When you live life above the sun, your thoughts are heavenward and you become Christ-occupied. You live for Him because you know that all things were created through Him and for Him. (Colossians 1:16) When you live for His glory, your life takes on a new meaning and purpose.

God’s Word says, “And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.” (Colossians 1:17) The Greek word for “consist” means “held together”. In Christ, all things are held together. And that is why when Christ is the central figure in your life, you will have it all together. Your mind will be held together. Your hopes and dreams will be held together. Your family will be held together by the cords of His love.

Your life will not be empty, but full of God’s goodness because “Christ in you, [is] the hope of glory”. (Colossians 1:27) It is a wonderful life — this life lived above the sun. And you will have an even more wonderful life to come in heaven!

‘Cancer-stricken’ Apple boss Steve Jobs may have just 6 weeks to live'



London, Feb 17: A tabloid has claimed that Apple founder, Steve Jobs, is stricken with pancreatic cancer and may have just six weeks to live.

The National Enquirer has published new pictures of the man behind the iPod, iPhone and iPad suggesting that the things are worse than Apple would have the world believe.

The new photos show Jobs looking painfully frail and weak, with his jeans and dark top hanging loosely on his 6ft 2in, rail-thin body.

Jobs weight is said to have dropped from a pre-cancer 175lb to 130lb now, according to the National Enquirer.

His thinning hair is a sign of the effects of the advanced chemotherapy usually used to treat the disease.

The photos, which were taken on February 8, showed Jobs going for breakfast with his wife Laurene Powell before heading to the Stanford Cancer Centre in California.

"Judging from the photos, he is close to terminal. I would say he has six weeks," the Daily Mail quoted critical care physician Dr Samuel Jacobson as saying.

"He is emaciated and looks to have lost a lot of muscle mass, which spells a poor prognosis," Jacobson added.

God is my Refuge!!

I am soooo blessed to have known this truth.
Where everything and everywhere there are floods, earthquakes, tsunamis, deadly and weird disease ready to attack anytime, Me and my loved ones are kept safe by our Heavenly Father.

God is forever my refuge.

Halleluyaaaah!

Read on and be blessed.

The Lord Is Your Refuge by Joseph Prince

Psalm 91:1–2
1He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in Him I will trust.”

Every day, we are bombarded with news of conflicts, natural disasters, diseases and new strains of drug-resistant viruses. We also hear of people losing their loved ones in freak accidents. And we ask ourselves, “Is there a place where I can take refuge from a world gone mad?”

Yes, there is! God foresaw all these things and He has promised in His Word protection from every evil known to man. There is no trap set by the devil that our Father cannot deliver us from, if we trust in Him and take Him as our refuge. That is His promise in Psalm 91.

Whether it is an earthquake at midnight, a crazy sniper, an unknown virus or a terrorist attack, God says, “You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day, nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.” (Psalm 91:5–6)

Because you have made Him your dwelling place, angels are watching over you right now. (Psalm 91:9–11) They give heed to the voice of God’s Word, so you should give voice to God’s Word. This means that you should agree with and speak what God’s Word says about His preserving and protecting you. Then, angels are sent to minister for you. (Hebrews 1:14)

My friend, don’t say, “If it can happen to them, it can also happen to me!” Say, “A thousand may fall at my side and 10,000 at my right hand, but it will not come near me!” (Psalm 91:7) The world says that you cannot but expect danger all around. God says, “You are in this world but not of this world. You have My protection because you are of Me and in Me.” (John 17:14–23)

You have access by faith into the secret place of the Most High where no evil can touch you. There is no need to fear living in the end times because the Lord is your refuge and fortress. His Word says so. And those who trust His Word completely find His Word completely true!

Chasing Happiness Is No Fun!

Last Sunday I was so blessed enough to be able to watch Chingay 2011 here in Singapore... I was just along the road taking this pictures.




It's an annual float parade that brings in lots of fun and priceless moments.

It's breathtaking and the colours it shows you make you wana jump, dance
and celebrate life!

Its energy it brings is contagious!












































































Awesome right?

But guess what.

The excitement that I felt that day is just temporary.

It won't last. That's why you need to take pictures or videos to document
the event so one day, you will have something to smile about by just looking at the pictures/videos.

You see and I know that you know,
Happiness....comes and goes...

It doesn't last.

That's why people are trying so hard to tame it.

Me?

I've stopped chasing "happiness".

...because in this world, all I need is lasting joy.

Happiness comes from the word "happ-enings" ..
It depends on what's going on around you which are
unstable, shaky and temporary.

Joy comes from within.

Joy is lasting and consistent no matter what's happening around you.
No matter what your circumstances are.

I remember when my father and sister passed away,
My friends and colleagues seem to feel that I got this peace
and joy within me that they mistakenly praised me for being strong.

No. I wasn't strong. I knew that time, Jesus was lifting me up and filling my sorrow with unexplainable peace and joy...

I am smiling while typing this out..:)
I couldn't imagine myself getting out from that situation alone.
Jesus must have carried me all the way. ...just like the story of
"Footprints in the Sand."


Halleluyaaaah!

Mmmm. I just need to tell you this, wherever you are, and whatever it is that you're doing and still you end up empty ....

try Jesus...

Keep asking for His eternal peace and joy...

You need it in each of your waking life.. Promise..:)

Hope you enjoyed my photos..

Don't forget to Like us in Facebook for we need encouragement each day...

Have a blessed day!

I am Forgiven. You are forgiven. Just believe.

My Daily Verse:

“This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us

 

and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.” 

(1 John 4:10)

"I know now, Lord, why you utter no answer. You are yourself the answer. Before your face questions die away. What other answer would suffice?"
