Who u gona call??

this past few days, i've been goin thru sum hard times..its personal stuff..haha..but anyhow..i realise that i have been goin out alot, spending time with lotsa frens in order to find comfort. goin out alot oso spend alot of money ar.!! haha..but nway thats not the point.

What im tryin to highlight here is that i DID NOT think of God as a beta comforter instead i chose to put my trust in men and their counsel. As i was doin my quiet time, God really struck me with this. Guilty as charged! I had ignored God and im so so sory to Him. Dun get me wrong, its not wrong to tell your frens ur probs but i tink God shud be the 1st priority and the 1st one u tell everything.

However, juz think bout it. how many of us when in trouble actually tink of callin out to God? or do we tink bout our best frens and call dem instead? As christians we should be puttin our trust in God and God shud alwiz be the 1st 2 noe!! as in psalms 20:7-Some may trust in chariots and some in horses (human things) but we will trust in God.

The irony is, we tell our frens and wat can dey do? the most also is juz give good advice but can they change the situation?? but now ask this to urself. can GOD change the situation? i tink we all noe the answer. THEN why do we still go to friends instead of God?

There was once this pastor who spoke to our church. He told us this. there was this person who had lotsa probs and she called the pastor and kept goin on and on and on...and the pastor told her to tok 2 God. guess wad! she cudn even last 4 10 mins??

WHY HAVE WE PUT GOD OUT OF OUR LIVES??

dosent it juz sadden Him? =S n im not judgin any1 cz i myself am guilty of such acts but i juz wana encourage all of us brothers and sisters in Christ to put our trust in God rather then in men. Then begin to see His delivarance! .

Sumtimes you may say , "God is not there. I tok but he neva listens." yup.no doubt i've been thru that. but how many of you actualy noe that our God is actualy workin behind the scenes? juz as there was a period of silence between malachi and matthew, God was actually preparing sumtin so great and that is salvation's plan 4 humans.

So TRUST IN THE LORD! NOT in men!

Leaning on Him,

David

ThEy WONT gEt aWay WitH it

in life.. u will definitely com across ppl who do evil things, hurt alot of people BUT still get away unscathed, unpunished and u tink 2 urself where is the God hu is suppose 2 be just..believe me i have been in such situation many times. sumtimes im d victim while at times i see my frens being victims. Lets go to the word of the Lord and see what he says.

In Psalms 37, it says;
(verse 1-2)
Do not fret because of evil because of evil men or be envious of those who do wrong. For like the grass they will soon wither, like green plants, they will soon die away.

IN the bible it says so clearly that this people will not get away with it in the end. At the end of the day dey sure kena wan. And it also tells us not to fret in oder words dun be frus over such kinda tings cz God noes wat He's doing. Lik the verse in Gal 6:7- God cannot be mocked, what a man sows that he shall reap. The one who sows in sinful nature will reap DESTRUCTION.
C That!! God will punish them..So do not wory.So if v dun wory den wat r v supose 2 do?

Reading on fr Psalms 37 (verse 3-4)

Trust in the Lord and DO GOOD. Dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Delight urself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart.

God tells us to continue to do good. and in my opinion i tink dis gud also means towards our enemies or those who have done evil to us and manage to get away with it. In this way not only do we obey God's command but also we mite possibly win over anoder soul 4 Christ coz the world's idea is 'an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth' and when these ppl begin to see d diff in us dun u tink dey will wana noe wat causes this diff? =)

However i would strongly advice u NOT to laugh at ur enemies when God punishes them coz it says in Prov 24:17 that if u laugh when ur enemies fall, the Lord will see and disapprove and turn His wrath away from him. What i would recommend you do is to show compassion towards those who are bein punished. Then only then will the world see d difference in u.

It our goal to be Christ-like and this is one of the ways. It is definitely not easy but by His strength we can do ALL things.

Learning to let go,

David

PrAisE n WorShip

sory ppl 4 the long time no post..lol..been busy wit exams (tho not reli dat busy..lol)..nways i juz wana testify dat God has been criously criously GOOD to me durin the exams..managed to do questions which people find hard to do and i for sure this is not because im smart but because God has helped me through it. PRAISE GOD!!!

ya.nway this thought had been in my mind for quite sum time and it really saddens me. This is wad happend..

One Sunday i had d privilege of bring a non-christian friend (classmate) to church. So during worship as i was up on the stage playin the guitar i saw this classmate of mine really singing his heart out. Just imagine a non-christian who does not have a relationship wit Jesus and has never had a personal encounter singing with all his heart. Whether he noes wat the words mean or not i duno but he was just singing his heart out! sumtimes i think dis reli puts sum of us to shame because we dun sing with all our hearts to God (not all but some. dun gt me wrong.=)..).

At the same time there was this other christian, a long time christian, in fact longer than i have been a christian. This person was just standing there with his arms folded and juz lookin up at the lyrics posted on the screen. Not even opening his mouth to sing.=S

Imagine a non-christian who has neva seen the greatness of God (more of lik dosent noe its God) singing all his heart out to God and a christian who had a personal encounter with God, seen and noes the greatness of God juz standing there with arms folded. ??? wat is dis?! Does God deserve sumtin lik dat from a person he has juz saved from eternal damnation? i dun tink so. i tink we really need to give all our heart, soul and strength to God when we worship him coz it is a commandment to love the Lord with all ur heart, soul and strength and mind (Luke10:27) and worshiping God is an act of expressing our love to God. i juz dun see how it is possible for a christian to juz act as though nothin happend.

pls, i juz hope n pray that all of us will begin to give all our best to God coz then and only then can u really begin to enjoy the worship session cz God will be present when there are hearts just so desperate and devoted to Him. AND u beta gt used to it coz in heaven we will spending most of our time worshiping the one and only great GOD! =)..

All for Him,

David

NotHing bUt tHe blOod

As the end of the world draws near, we as Christians should begin to be even more fervent in carryin out the great commission that Jesus gave us (Mat 28:19-20). The harvest is great but the workers few. Let not that be the situation now cz the coming of our LORD is ever so close. I am sure u wudn wana c hell filled wit all ur loved ones. SO....

Before i begin, what inspired me to write this is because of a song, an old hymn titled "nothing but the blood of Jesus". Old song but yt so powerful its meanin

Chorus:
Oh precious is that flow
That makes me white as snow
No other fount I know
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Verse 1:
What can wash away my sins?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

As u all know, we have been cleansed n redeemed by the blood of Jesus n im sure this is such gud new cz we are now counted righteous and whole again! And if dis is such gud new, how can we just keep it 2 ourselves?? Just as u have discovered a place that sells the best "char koay teow", wudnt u tell all ur frens bout that place? now ask urself this..what is beta news? Char koay teow (food wich is of no eternal value) or bout the work Christ has done 4 us on d cross (wich is of eternal value)?

and if u haven been sharing the gospel wit ur frens, i hope that ur reason 4 nt doin so is that ur shy or afraid of wat dey mite tink cz if any1 is ashamed of me (Jesus) and my words in this aduletrous and sinful generation the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in His Father's glory with the holy angels (Mark 8:38).

Anyway 4 dos hu duno how 2 convince people bout the gudness of God, i have tot n heard bout wat makes Christianity so different from other religions.

1. Christianity is NOT a religion..it is a relationship wit God! a shocker to sum but it is a fact. If u were 2 tok bout other religions, its quite obvious that is all rituals and things they do to make them luk "spiritual". Wherelse in Christianity, we are not based on so many rituals n its so free flowing. Can u imagine a buddhist monk goin in to free-flow worship while prayin to their god. In fact all that most religions do is juz a prayer that is memorized n nt reli fr d heart.
   
   Adding on to that, if u were to c the Lord's prayer the first line says Our FATHER...God is our FATHER so imagine wat dat makes us. CHILDREN of GOD!! n s children v hav so many privelleges as u all noe cz im sure all of u have parents. and if God is KING then we are prince n princess. So we would be goin round callin ea oder "Yes Your Highness Andrew or yes ur highness Andrew..etc..(u gt d idea lar..) haha.."
   
   
2. NO other god in this world eva gave up deir life 4 the people. Yes this is one of d strongest n most powerful points u cud use to share cz the one n ONLY God to have died for us is Jesus! and in my point of view i juz dun c how ppl cud ignore the fact dat sum1 loved dem so much to the point of givin His life 4 dem. I would be so touched that sum1 would do dat 4 me.
   
3. Transformation in Christianity starts from the inside. gud works is nt sumtin you have to be force to do but rather is a nature of you cz it says in the bible ,"If anyone is in Christ, he is a NEW creation; the old has passed gone the new has come!(2 Cor 5:17)". Luking at other religions, they do so much works as tho tryin to force dem down n sumhow it neva seems to change deir life.

Anothe way u cn share the gospel and in fact is one of the tings that creates an opportunity to share is ur LIFE!!. The world watches all our actions and when they c dat v r diff fr dem, always joyful despite the problems that we face, this would raise questions in their head bout how com we are so diff n den there..u have ur chance to share!!

So u cn c that Christianity is one of a kind. SO go forth and make disciples of all nations baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

On the Job,

David

10 Commandments (1)

Exodus 20:3

You shall have NO other Gods before me...


Aiyo com on lar..we all know dis..we worship only 1 true God..we are not idolaters..

-common answers when a christian is posed with d 1st commandment-

but how many of u know that idolatry does not only mean worshiping oder gods lik buddha, kuan yin, shiva, etc....??

In Luke 16:13, Jesus said,"no servant can serve 2 masters: Either he will hate one and love the other or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other.

YOU CANNOT SERVE BOTH GOD AND MAMMON (money)

A new form of idolatry is on the rise and it is so subtle that people dun even realise it. In fact Christians are also trapped in such. Money!! dats rite. MOney. Eva heard people includin christians say "aiyo no time 4 church lar, need money money money..."? in my life, i've been hearing this quite often in fact. sum noe it 2 b rong BUT yt still choose to folo this lifestyle.

BEfore i began i would first like make it clear that money IS important BUT when it comes between you and God then u noe God has to come 1st. But sumhow people still choose to go after the things of the world. No doubt we need money to survive in this world but does that mean we have to forget all about God in order to gain wealth? certainly NOT!

As i have mentioned in my previous post, if any1 loves the tings of the world, the love of the Father is NOT in him. As christians we should realise that we are only passer-bys in this world. What we gather from here we cannot take for eternity. So?? u can make ur own conclusion.

I have encountered a few people who chose money and riches over God n i've seen how deir lives have been cursed. ALWAYS in need, ALWAYS in debt? is this the kind of lifestyle u want? y not choose to put ur trust in God. Seek His kingdom and righteousness FIRST then all this tings shall be added unto You (Mat 6:33). Is it so hard to trust God to provide for all our need in fact to even give us that abundant life? Honour God and He WILL honour You!

One foot in the world, one in God.. Will this work? NO!! how can a servant serve 2 masters?

Honour God and He will honour You. Remeber Your 1st love!

Sincerely,

David

cAn i wEar dAt??

Now this would be controversial. I might be getting losta rebukes..=S but lets go back 2 the word of God.

as u browse thru frenster or any of dos type of websites, juz check out d way ppl dress up (esp gurls) in all their pics.. all dressed up so revealing..wats d purpose??

2 major principles in God's word b4 i continue :

1. 1 Cor 10:31-32;
   
   so wheter u eat o drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. Do not cause anyone to stumble...
   
   
2. 1 Cor 10:23-24;
   
   Everything is permissible-BUT not everything is beneficial. Everything is permissible but not everything is constructive. Nobody should seek his own good but the good of others.

so the kingdom of God is not about food or clothing. " I can dress WATEVA way i want as long as i feel GOOD!" this is wat ppl mite tink bout deir dressing. but ask urself dis b4 putting on dos clothes.

Questions

1. am i trying to dress up lik sum world icon (eg.britney spears, shakira, etc.)?
   
2. am i trying to attract peoples attention?

Answer

1. We as chrisitians should not follow the way the world does tings. So all ur frens are dressing up lik all dis stars. Must u folo dem? Do not be conformed to the ways of this world. Do not love the world or ANYTHING in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For everything in the world- the cravings of sinful men, the lust of his eyes and the and the boastings of what he has and does comes not from the Father but from the world (1 John 2:15-16). from this i tink its obvious that if u love the ways of the world den sumting is wrong.
   
2. as mentioned in d verse, we should not seek our own good but the good of others. Do u tink its 4 the good of sum1 wen u cause sum1 to fall in2 sin by causing them to lust after u? A quote by Paul Wahser bout the this type of dressing, "if ur clothes were a frame for ur face, God would be please. if ur clothes were a frame for ur body, God would not be please."

I dun mean to judge any1 but i tink dis is sumtin dat v shud criously consider. As ambassadors for Christ, the world is watching. If u were to dress anyway the world does, how does that make u any different from the people in the world?

REMEMBER..

do all tings for His glory.

Serving Him,

David
