God has the last words

You know as human, I've already used up alot of my resources and strength to almost everything.

But to where?
...down to nothing.

Thinking...planning... Executing plans.

When my Citizenship application had been rejected, thoughts swirled and pop out of nowhere.
I said, I must have Plan B.
Then I started to think of trying it out to another country. Find a new job. New career. New life.
And then fear got me for a little while which made me weary.

For sometime, I was restless.

But then, I realized God had already said NO!

Well, at least
for now.

Because He told me,


"Many are the plans in a man's heart,
but it is the LORD's purpose that prevails."

Proverbs 19:21


Oh no! Ok Lord, I shall wait.
I shall move on, with You as my partner.
Whatever my decisions are, from now You still have the final words.
So I trust you in that ok?
I know you won't leave me and I know You know what's really best for me. So for now no complaints yet. Heheh!

Thank you Jesus because You are my partner in this world.

Good Monday morning everyone!
Have a blessed and prosperous week!

Proclaim The Lord’s Death by Joseph Prince

Have you taken Holy Communion lately?
Used to do it 2x a day and I can say it really made wonders to my health.

Everytime I took it , I felt healthier and younger each day!

See, it's always cool to proclaim the Lord's death by Holy Communion. Will partake it again nextweek and share the prayer with you. So be ready.

In the meantime, may you be blessed and have some revelations in this post. :)

Enjoy Joseph Prince' powerful devotional for today friends!

Halleluyaaah!


Proclaim The Lord’s Death by Joseph Prince

1 Corinthians 11:26
26For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes.

In the Old Testament, whenever the children of Israel sacrificed a lamb for a burnt offering as they faced a strong enemy, victory was theirs. For example, in 1 Samuel 7:7–11, when the Philistines were coming against them, the prophet Samuel offered a lamb as a burnt offering. As it was being offered, the Lord came like a loud thunder on the Philistine army, confusing them. This led to victory for the Israelites.

Every time something bad happened to the children of Israel, by offering a lamb sacrifice, they were proclaiming the Lord’s death, and the battle would turn in their favor.

Today, when we are faced with an enemy, how do we offer our “burnt offering”? How do we proclaim the Lord’s death and come out victorious? Do we ask Jesus to come down to where we are at and die on the cross all over again?

Of course not. Jesus died once for all our sins — past, present and future. (Hebrews 10:12) His work is perfectly perfect and completely complete, so He doesn’t have to die for us again. Today, we proclaim His death simply by partaking of the Lord’s Supper.

Every time you partake of the bread and wine, you declare to the principalities and powers of darkness that the Lord’s death avails for you. Every time you partake, you are saying that because Jesus has been judged and punished in your place, you cannot be judged and punished. Because Jesus died young in your place, you will live long. And because He conquered death and stripped the devil of his powers, you will not be defeated. The victory is already yours!

That is why the psalmist David said, “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies…” (Psalm 23:5) The Lord’s table is prepared for you in the presence of your enemies because when you partake of the bread and wine, you will see your enemies tremble and scatter! Why? Because when you proclaim the Lord’s death through the Holy Communion, you are reminding the devil and his cohorts of their humiliating defeat at Calvary’s cross! (Colossians 2:15)

Feed Your Faith And Your Doubts Will Starve





You must have faith in God, not faith in your need. Why? Because God does not respond to need but only to His Word. The Word of God is the will of God. In the Word it is clearly revealed that a multitude of blessings are for everyone who believes. So just fix your mind on the Word so you can feed your faith and starve your doubts and receive your needs.

My God is Taking Care of Me!

You know what.

I am in this stage of really wanting to succeed and have something forward to look unto.

Recently, as I was browsing my facebook and saw some of my college friends bought a new house, cars ,etc. There was part of me that got insecure or "envy"
and thought, "When will I have my own Lord? I'm not getting any younger anymore.."

I know Jesus doesn't encourage us to be envy. But hey, I am just human. Sometimes I could feel
these kind of perks every now and then.
(Thank you Jesus for you are my Saviour! )

Who doesn't want to have their own dream house, car, and a very convenient living, right?

Well, This has been me lately.
Geeeeeeeessh!

Of course,

I talked to Jesus about it and
here's the conversation.

"Jesus, aside from my hyperthyroidism symptoms, you know what? I am really ok. I dont suffer from migraines, giddiness, got sick with flu or fever, cough anymore for years! So this alone, I can tell that You are really taking good care of me. I really appreciate that. :)

Yes, I shifted career from a video editor to graphic designer and now a Real Estate agent.

For what?

For achievements?

For money?

Mmmm... I am really not comfortable about getting those stuffs anymore. All I need is for me, my loved ones and family to be HEALTHY. If we are healthy, the rest will follow but please
lead me.

That "money" thing. I really dont want to be slaved by it anymore. Like for years, I really need to work hard just to get it but in the end, I lost time with my family and friends.
You know what I mean right?

I know the world needs money. Tons of it. But I am Your child, right? You know me more than anyone else what I need so please keep me in that path. "

That was last night.
And today, this morning I was prompted to check one of my iPhone Christian apps for daily words.

And guess what He says,





Woooooooow!

Hahah!

Right on Lord!

I shall be free from it!

Halleluyaaaaah!!!

Fight Your Way To Remain At Rest!

Guess what,
I am back to taking meds.
Yes.




My hyperthyroidism has come back and suddenly have felt all the symptoms. I lost weight and my friends and loved ones are so worried. So, I have no choice but to listen.

Nonbelievers could say,
" Look at your God. You're so silly to believed that He can heal!
Tsk. Poor you. Wake up!"


I say, "Just shut up devil!"

Hahah!

You see.

Whatever you see in me are just
physical symptoms.
It shall pass!

I am healed!

God says, by Jesus stripes I am healed! So be it.

-----
But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was upon him,
and by his wounds we are healed.

Isaiah 53:5

------

This little bit of pain and palpitation is temporary.

As Christ is, and so I am in this world!
------
"Even as He is, so are we in this world."

—1 John 4:17.

--------

Jesus was never sick while He was on earth...

And so I am be in this world!

--------

I have an awesome God.
And I know He is restoring my health somewhere.

As a Believer, things like these
will happen to you.
But don't fret.

He keeps reminding us that He is always there.
Want some proof?

Here goes...

"In those days when you pray, I will listen."
- Jeremiah 29:12


Can you feel the weight of those words??

Wow!!!

Yes. Keep on praying, my Beloved. Nothi

Me?
I talked it out to Him. I talk about this and that and even ask Him what's happening.
You can try it too. It makes alot of difference.

When I went to the doctor,
Fear dominated me..
But He promised,

"So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Isaiah 41:10

Now I can truly Rest in Him
because I know He is taking care of my battle.

Fight your way to remain at rest my friend. That's our only battle!

Thank you Abba, Father!

Halleluyaaaaaah!

Let The Lord Be Your Defense by Joseph Prince

Let The Lord Be Your Defense by Joseph Prince

Psalm 94:22
22But the Lord has been my defense, and my God the rock of my refuge.

Imagine being a poor widow, a stranger in the land and holding one of the lowliest jobs in society. That was Ruth’s situation, so it would have been easy for her to feel vulnerable and defenseless. But because she trusted the Lord (Ruth 1:16), He placed her under Boaz’s protection.

Boaz, the owner of the field she worked in, commanded his young men saying, “Let her glean even among the sheaves, and do not reproach her.” (Ruth 2:15) What he was saying to his men was this: “She might be a gleaner, but because I care for her, treat her with respect and make sure she is not put to shame.”

Boaz is a picture of our Lord Jesus. If you are feeling vulnerable and defenseless right now, imagine Jesus commanding His angels, “Watch over this one who belongs to Me. Make sure he is treated with respect and not put to shame because he is someone I love and someone whom I died for.”

God’s Word tells us that if God is for us, who can be against us? (Romans 8:31) No one who has set himself against us can prevail because when God is for us, His protection is upon us. That is why I have never answered any of the poison email messages which I have received in the course of my ministry.

My attitude is this: Jesus is my defense. If He does not defend me, it means that there are things in my life that are not to be defended, and I would be glad to find out about them now rather than later. On the other hand, because I take the Lord as my defense, and He defends me, what can those who are against me do to me?

When you defend yourself, you have only your two hands and your own human resources. But when you let Jesus take up your defense, He defends you with His nail-pierced hands and His legions of angels! The results will be amazing.

Beloved, the Lord is your defense and refuge. Trust Him to defend and protect you!

Lift Songs Of Praise To The Lord by Joseph Prince

Lift Songs Of Praise To The Lord by Joseph Prince

Ephesians 5:17
17Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

God wants us to walk as wise men and women, and not as fools. (Ephesians 5:15) Now, He will not tell us to walk in wisdom without showing us how. That is why His Word goes on to say, “Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.”

So what is the will of God? The next two verses tell us how to identify it: “And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord”. (Ephesians 5:18–19)

As you allow yourself to be filled with the Spirit by lifting songs of praise to the Lord, singing or speaking (God knows some of us can’t sing!) psalms, hymns and spiritual songs, and making melody in your heart to the Lord, God promises that you will know what His will is for your situation. You will then have the wisdom to decide wisely what to do next.

I have found this to be true in my own life. Whenever I face a difficult situation, the more I think about it, the more confused I get. The more I try my best to come up with a smart solution, the further the answer seems to get from me. But when I turn away from my problem and turn to God, singing in the Spirit and praising Him, I get a clearer perspective of the problem when I come back to it later. I also find an inner prompting to make certain decisions which in the end, turn out to be better than anything I could have come up with on my own.

So my friend, lift up songs of praise to the Lord, whether times are good or bad. For when you fill your mouth with praises to God, He will lead you and guide you in all the affairs of your life. Even if you are stuck with a problem, He will show you the way to go or make a way out for you. Either way, you will get the wisdom and help that you need!
