So many worldly activities..
Parties here and there. Dinner invitations.
Clubbings..
So little time.
But this won't allow me be away from Jesus for a long time.
Good thing I have my ipod with me.
I have flooded it with Pastor Prince' mp3s..
So anywhere I go..If I'm gona have that 10minute walk
towards the train..
or just waiting for my bus to come I'd just listen to it.
Thank you Steve Jobs. For creating ipods and iphones.
This makes me closer to God no matter how busy I am
in this world.
The Word shall keep me.

"True To Your Assessment"
Sharing another powerful daily devotional from Pastor Prince my dear friends.
"True To Your Assessment"
Leviticus 27:12
12… the priest shall set a value for it, whether it is good or bad; as you, the priest, value it, so it shall be.
Your colleague says that this week is going to be a lousy one because the new boss is mean. You disagree and say that it is going to be a blessed week. Both of you will go through the same week, but with very different outcomes. While your friend’s week will indeed turn out to be a lousy one, yours will be filled with the favor of the Lord!
In the Old Testament, when someone brought what he had to the priest for a valuation, whatever the priest assessed the value of the item to be, it was so. If he assessed it to be of good value, then it was of good value. If he assessed it to be of poor value, then it was of poor value.
Today, you are also a priest because of Jesus’ blood. (Revelation 1:5–6) And “as you, the priest, value it, so it shall be”. If you assess your year to be one of financial breakthroughs, so it will be for you. If you assess your life to be filled with divine health, so it will be for you.
There was a stroke patient who was bedridden. While listening to my recorded sermons, he assessed that with God as his salvation, his life would be long and satisfying. (Psalm 91:16) He believed that God would help him walk again. Not too long after his assessment, he was able to walk and was no longer bound to the bed! The next assessment he made about his health was complete recovery with God as his helper.
Actually, you have more authority than the Levitical priests of the Old Testament. They were of the old priesthood of mortal men. But you are of the greater and “forever” priesthood of Jesus! (Hebrews 7:8, 17) Not only that, you are a king-priest. (Revelation 1:6) In other words, you are a king as well! And as a king, your assessment is also binding because where the word of a king is, there is power! (Ecclesiastes 8:4)
My friend, this means that you have a double portion of assessment power. Therefore, boldly assess good things for your life, and it will be so for you!

Law Or Grace - Verdict Of The Jerusalem Council
Yes, we are Christians..and the world generally will see
us and expect us to live our lives as perfect as Christ is.
But we can never be perfect. As long as we are in this mad,fallen
world, time and time again, we will fall. We will stumble. We will sin.
So don't strain yourself out with so much "goodness" that you want to have in you.
Naturally, as you go along your Christian walk, and as Jesus continues to live in you
..it will happen without you even noticing it.
I am not there yet. I am still struggling with my own "dirt".
Shall I be bother with it?
I boldly say "NO!"
Because I believe, the more I focus on my imperfections and my sins,
the more I will become it.
So instead , I focus my energy and thoughts on Jesus.
because Jesus' blood has made me perfect in the eyes of God.
I am so well covered that God sees me as gold...perfect and smells good.
Boy Am I so glad that I have come to know the TRUTH.
Now it has set me free!
This time I can live my life without restrictions. About myself.
About my relationships and my career.
Everything about me now is FREE!
Free from stress of what others might think of.
Free from lying symptoms of sickness..
Free from all fears of ALL FEARS!!
Sharing an mp3 from Pastor Prince that I just listened to this morning.
Enjoy peepz!

Integrity- Where Am I?
"Integrity"
Funny how this word can strike me twice in a day.
Once, when a friend of mine,
...upon knowing I still keep doing the things that hurt me the most.
And why I don't stand firm on the things that I believe to be are 'right'.
or as categorized as right have asked me 'Where's my integrity ?'
Twice, in my cellgroup. The topic of the night
It's where some characters on the book of Daniel
have shown integrity towards God inspite of their endangered situation.
As my friend puts it. Integrity is
"-standing for what is true
-being honest..about yourself, about your life, about ur convictions
and standing for it even if your circumstances or situation is endangered
another term wich can be related with integrity is compromise.."
In my current situation, "integrity" seems so hard to fathom.
For I know I have not been so honest with myself lately.
Moreover, grasping the thought of 'standing firm'
to what seem to be is right doesn't give me enough reasons
to just give in. Yeah Im stubborn alright.
Why am I still doing things that I know must come to a stop?
Why one day the inconsistency of my actions bring me so
much pain and then the next or few days I still end up doing
the same thing all over again.
Getting more pain a/nd hurt even more.
Why?
Yes so many why's.
There's some parts of the lyric in a song
'Love them like Jesus' of the Casting Crowns that says
"The love of her life is drifting away
They're losing the fight for another day
The life that she's known is falling apart
A fatherless home, a childs broken heart
You're holding her hand, you're straining her words.
You trying to make sense of it all
She's desperate for hope,darkness clouding her view.
She's looking to you
Just love her like Jesus, carry her to Him
His yoke is easy, His burden is light
You don't need the answers to all of life's questions
Just know that He loves her and stay by her side
And love her like Jesus.
The gifts lie in wait, in a room painted blue
Little blessing from Heaven would be there soon
Hope fades in the night , blue skies turn to gray
As the little one slips away
Lord of all creation holds our lives in His hands
The God of all nations holds our lives in His hands
The Rock of our salvation holds our lives in His hands
He cares for them just as He cares for you."
It's just easy to point on what's right or wrong.
Standing firm on what you think is "right" or "wrong"
starts the battle.
As for me. I will just keep resting on Him for I know
there will be a lot of questions from now on as I go along.
Do I really need to know all the answers to it?
Maybe yes.
Maybe no.
But one thing is needful. I'll just keep looking at the cross.
No buts or if's.
I am just thankful because as I continue to feel this way,
out of my confusions and my troubled heart..
Jesus' love for me has set me free!
The best prescription!
Now, I really need to do that haircut!
