2 Chronicles 7
¹⁵Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place.
¹⁶For now have I chosen and sanctified this house, that my name may be there for ever: and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually.

1 Corinthians 6
¹⁹What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

Lord Jesus,
My body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, and You dwell in me.
Your eyes is ever watching over me and your heart is here with me.
Hence, I declare complete healing from dry skin, I claim baby soft complexion.
I declare good health over my body, no scar, no sickness, no disease, no infection can ever stay in my body.
You are living in me, hence, I invite you to manifest your healing over this temple of yours.
Keep it young, keep it energetic, keep it beautiful, keep it in top conditions.
Good eyesight, great teeth, good hearing, good legs for jogging, running and walking.
Great complexion, and luscious black hair without split ends.
Good and strong bones. Good digestive, circulatory and productive systems.
Like Caleb, Joshua and Moses, the body cease to age biologically.
Lord Jesus, I belong to you, keep me from all harms, bless me also financially,
emotionally, socially and with your wisdom to manage your blessings well so that I can also
be a blessing to those around me.
Pray that my work be appreciated, and the appreciated work will in turn
be rewarded as good increment in salary and promotions. So that I can be encouraged
to contribute even more.Otherwise, please bring some better pastures to me instead.
Thank you Lord Jesus.
Amen.

God's love

John 3:16

King James Version (KJV)

¹⁶For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Believing that God loves the whosoever (us)
The whoever who believes that God sent and gave his only begotten Son
hence we should not perish instead we have everlasting life (the God kind of life, abundant life).

1 John 4

King James Version (KJV)

¹³Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.
¹⁴And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.
¹⁵Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
¹⁶And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
¹⁷Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
¹⁸There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
¹⁹We love him, because he first loved us.

Place of Gnashing of Teeth

noreply@blogger.com (Jewel) — Wed, 27 Jul 2011 23:48:00 +0000

Psalm 112:10

The wicked will see and be vexed, they will gnash their teeth and waste away; the longings of the wicked will come to nothing.

Matthew 25:30

And throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

The worthless servant is one who thinks that the master is a hard man. He thinks that the master treats him badly and he has to work hard to earn his keeps.

However, Jesus is not a hard man. When we invite Him to take over our lives, we can expect that He guides us along the way and gives us directions sometimes by open doors and closed doors, sometimes by His Word. If we think that Jesus is a hard man, then everything else in life will not fall into place for a believer.

How can God give us a car and not the means to maintain it?

How can God give us children and not the wisdom, the finances and the patience to enjoy them?

All God's blessings brings wealth and He adds no sorrows to them. Believe it.

God's blessings includes our lovely family, our job(s), our finances, our health, our colleagues and our friends.

Learn to appreciate the blessings around us and trust the Lord for much more.

If we think that the Lord is a hard man, how could we ever go on and enjoy the abundant life that He has already given us?

Look within, the kingdom of God the abundant life, is not on the outside, it is on the inside.

The kingdom of God is, righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

And when we recognise we already have the kingdom of God within us, we also realise the King who is residing inside of us. How privilege we are, earthen vessels.

God's work is speaking and the whole universe came into being.

The greater One is residing inside of us, and at His prompting we speak, and all our world changes in accordance to our speaking.

What have we been speaking all these while?

The sum total of our lives has been what we have been speaking.

If we don't like what we see around us, start changing the substance of our speech.

And we would not remain in this state for long.

For God watches over His Word to perform it. If we speak in accordance to His Word, He performs it.

Not us. And when He performs, it is good.

Let us not harness in our hearts that our Lord is a hard task master. For this reason, perhaps some of us are experiencing gnashing of teeth and feeling the heat. Let us repent, knowing the goodness of our loving , gracious and merciful Lord.

The one who makes 5 more is given more joyous tasks to do. Entering into the joy of the Lord.

Praise Jesus.

What does the Bible say about earthquakes?

noreply@blogger.com (Jewel) — Sat, 12 Mar 2011 05:49:00 +0000

Matthew 24 (KJV)
⁴And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
⁵For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
⁶And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
⁷For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
⁸All these are the beginning of sorrows.

Mark 13
³And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,
⁴Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?
⁵And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you:
⁶For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
⁷And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet.
⁸For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.
⁹But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them.
¹⁰And the gospel must first be published among all nations.

Luke 21
⁷And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass?
⁸And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.
⁹But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.
¹⁰Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:
¹¹And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.

Acts 16
²⁵And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.
²⁶And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed.

Revelation 6
¹²And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
¹³And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
¹⁴And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
¹⁵And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;

Revelations 8
³And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.
⁴And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.
⁵And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.
⁶And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.

Revelation 11¹And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.
²But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.
³And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
⁴These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
⁵And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
⁶These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.
⁷And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
⁸And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
⁹And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
¹⁰And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.
¹¹And after three days and an half the spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.
¹²And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.
¹³And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
¹⁴The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.
¹⁵And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
¹⁶And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,
¹⁷Saying, We give thee thanks, O LORD God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.
¹⁸And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
¹⁹And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.

Acts 16
²⁵And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.
²⁶And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed.
²⁷And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled.
²⁸But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.
²⁹Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas,
³⁰And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
³¹And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
³²And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.
³³And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway.
³⁴And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.

Hurry hurry mankind come to the Lord your Salvation Jesus Christ Saviour of mankind.

Lord Jesus, I believe in You and only in You is my salvation and my family's. You are my Lord, Son of God Most High. Thank you. Amen.

The glory of God, the love of God, the fellowship of God.

John 14
1Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.

14If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.

27Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

John 15

3Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.

4Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.

5I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

7If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

8Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.

John 17

16They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

17Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

22And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:

23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

24 Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.

25O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.

26And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.

Year of Jubilee

noreply@blogger.com (Jewel) — Thu, 28 Oct 2010 14:47:00 +0000

To many, Year of Jubilee refers to a particular year or every 49th year or 50th year where the belongings especially lands would be returned to the original owners.

Recently my pastor shared with us the meaning of recession which is rarely heard of which is "return possession" ... which means everything will be returned back to its original owner.

When I heard this my heart rejoices.

Even so, we do not wait for the calendar to tell us which year is the year of Jubilee, we can call forth Jubilee NOW.

Yes, our words are the most powerful weapons in this whole universe and especially so on things and events pertaining to our own lives. We can influence our sphere just by speaking forth.

So I declare this year is my year of Jubilee!

Set free from financial woes (Lord Jesus blessing our money in our bank accounts increase daily, monthly, yearly or on a regular basis), from sickness and diseases (we have great health, able to walk briskly, without needing any walking aids, no pain nor rheumatism), from lack (always having more than enough and plenty left over so that we can be a blessing to many around us) and poverty (in Christ we are no longer poor) and every evil (our evil days are lesser and lesser and the glorious days of walking in the goodness of our Lord become more and more).

Yes! We are free indeed because the Son of God the owner of this whole universe has set us free!

Yes and Amen!

Thank you Jesus.

Let go and Let God

noreply@blogger.com (Jewel) — Thu, 28 Oct 2010 14:34:00 +0000

We are children of the Most High, we need not struggle so that our lives could be better.
We take each day at a time, come what may, our Father in Heaven has already laid out for us this day to enjoy.
Jesus said, He comes that we might have life and to have it more abundantly.
The earth and everything in it belongs to the Lord, and it is ours to enjoy.
How to activate the blessings in our lives?
By simply speaking until it drops down to our hearts.
I remember I wanted a car so desperately that I went to church knelt down and prayed.
I saw a sportscar, my eyes closed, and I sat on the floor and had a good laugh.
I told Abba, no not a sportscar, I want a family car.
And shortly after that, we bought a brand new car.
Yes, simply ask, and simply receive.

Do you know what I am asking now?
To be a multi billionaire so that I could be a blessing to many.

I know He hears my prayer and is answering it in His time.

Simply ask in Jesus' name and simply receive, if God did not spare us His one and only Son,
how would He not with Him give us all things?

I have already laid my hands on my wardrobe I am believing God for a brand new set of clothes, handbags and shoes before the year is up. If I don't look good, it reflects badly on Him. But of course, I will look good because He takes very good care of me. And I am also commanding my body to stay in shape and to trim down those spare tyres around the waist so that I could look gorgeous whatever I put on.

I want to party without having to put on the fats.

Let go and let God.

Never mind if others are not keen, I have asked the Lord that whoever is not keen on receiving His wealth, then let me have his or her share too.

My Father says, Ask of Him and He will give me the nations as an inheritance for me.
Father I ask. And I receive my inheritance. Amen.

Praise Jesus.

The privilege of a believer in our Lord Jesus Christ - Prayer

noreply@blogger.com (Jewel) — Sat, 28 Aug 2010 07:23:00 +0000

Many might not be knowingly aware of this, however, I am beginning to become more and more aware of this wonderful privilege to be able to come into the presence of the Almighty God, our heavenly Father, boldly without constraint or restraint simply because our Lord Jesus has made a way for us by His once and for all death on the cross dying as us, and hence we can FOREVER have access to the most important BEING of all, the Lord God Almighty.

Moreover, our Lord Jesus has also given us the joint-heir status with Him. Which means whatever He has we have, and as He is right now, seated on the right hand of the Father, we in Him, are also at the Father's right hand.

Just simply meditating on this joint-heir status we have in Christ supercedes any feeling of relationship with any of the most influential persons we have on earth. Whether kings or rulers or prominent political figures.

As a joint-heir with Christ, we can do like Him, just speak the Word and we have whatever we need. Like Jesus asking Peter to go and fish for a fish and in it there is money enough to pay taxes, just like Jesus looking up to heaven and giving thanks for the food and feeding the 5000 and the 4000 men. We can activate our blessings just by speaking the word and receiving the blessings. If we do a check, how many of us are indeed enjoying what we have been declaring (or praying or asking the Lord for them) we want sometime in the past?

Eg, we might have asked the Lord for a life partner. And indeed, we are already married a lovely spouse right now.

If we had prayed for a nice place to stay, and indeed, we have a roof over our head, and more so the number of rooms in our abode. Looking around us, He has given us so much more than we ever asked for. HE is a God of more than enough.

In His kingdom there is none barren. A small family would indeed become a small tribe. This is the least of the blessings for the nation of Israel. How much more when now Jesus is our personal Lord and Saviour.

We trust Him to lead us in our lives from glory to glory.

If we fumble and tumble along the way, He is right beside us to pick us up and help us continue our journey. His word is true, He will never leave us alone nor forsake us. So this means that He is right here to meet ALL OUR NEEDS according to HIS RICHES IN GLORY.

Let our hearts be so full of this revelation and be so full of the Lord's love for us that there need to be no room for fear nor remorse nor regrets. Let our hearts rejoice.

True blessedness is knowing that all our sins are forgiven and also even if we sin, the Lord does not impute sins to us. Means, He does not see them anymore, sin is no issue to Him anymore. So not sinning is not the criteria for Him to dispense His blessings upon us. Yes, sinning or not sinning, is not the criteria for us being eligible for His blessings. The criteria to receive His blessings is simply believing on His Word.

I have what His Word says I have, I am what His Word says I am.

My God is no liar. I totally believe my God and my Lord and indeed the more I believe, the more I enjoy life here on earth.

Prayer is the privilege of the believer, the more we spend time in His Word and in prayer, the more we feed our souls and let go of our worries and our cares. Keeping our hearts light and burden-free is the key to enjoy this wonderful ride on earth with our Lord.

Many are awaiting the second-coming of our Lord Jesus physically, but to those who are His, Jesus has already come and are living in us.

Revelation 3:20 (King James Version)

Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

Praise Jesus!

(King James Version)

Psalm 81:10 I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

The Lord's Favor in the midst of our obstacles

noreply@blogger.com (Jewel) — Sat, 21 Aug 2010 22:50:00 +0000

Psalm 110 (King James Version)

Psalm 110
1The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.

2The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.

Let us not let our circumstances to set the tone, let us rise up and see these as our footstool.

Do not name our future according to what we see in the present.
Our past might be tough, name our future, blessed, filled with the favor of the Lord, God's face is shining on me, my greatest victories are ahead of me.

It is going to be an Ephesians 3:20 decade for me.
God is a God who honours His Word, when He says He will never leave me nor forsake me. His Word says I am the head and not the tail, I am above only and not the tail. I am highly favored, deeply loved and greatly blessed by my Heavenly Daddy.

Thank God for a wonderful decade in my life where blessings hunt and chase me down. This is a decade where my Father dispenses the gifts which He has already shown me in my dreams and in my heart.

When we went to Macau recently, in the airport which we are departing back to Singapore, there are only two seats at the end that come with a footrest.

My friend and I walked there and sat on these two special chairs with footstool.

And the moment we sat there, the Lord spoke to my heart, a footstool is only effective when we rest. The footstool is for our rest, if we do not rest our feet, then we are not enjoying the footstool. See our enemies (our debts, our struggles, our barreness, our effects of sins which the enemy is trying to impose in our lives) as our footstool. Just rest in the Lord and we will naturally reign.

All of God's promises are in Christ and where is Christ now?
He is in me. Thank you Abba Father, your promises come true for me in my life. Thank you for opening the windows of heaven, I know promotions and increase are coming my way, my youth is going to renew like eagles.
I can hear the sound of rain, something great is coming.

Thank you Abba Father, like the woman who happened to appear before the king after she came back to the land, she had all her possessions returned back to her, her lands, and with all the increase and income of her lands. I expect this is a year of Jubilee for me just like what you have done for this woman. Amen.

God has already spoken to the people who will be good to me, I am going to get the breaks I don't deserve.

God will give me favor to those who we are suppose to have favor with.
God will cause the people who can show favor to me to be good to me.

God bring all the good people into my life. God will align all the moments of favor that God has already spoken to me.

God will open doors for me which no one can shut.
And God will shut all the bad doors so that they could not come in and harm me.

One moment of favor from God can change our whole life forever.

God will give me favor with the right people. God has ordained them to be good to us.

God bless all the works of my hands, and the increase in my barns and banks.

We get ready, our pay day is coming.
God is taking us to places and open doors that no man can shut.
God multiply the money we have in our banks, our investments, our savings accounts, there shall be no barren among us.
We get promotion that we might not quality.
God is giving us houses we don't build, vineyards we do not plant, wells we do not build.

The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof, and it is ours to enjoy.

Praise Jesus.

I expect God's goodness every day, great breakthroughs, getting from barely get by to more than enough.

I receive a new decade of God's favor in my life.

All because Jesus has made me the righteousness of God in Christ.

Those who come against me will be no more, and will be removed from my life. Lord I pray your blessings upon them too as they go.

Amen

The love of money is the root of all evil.

noreply@blogger.com (Jewel) — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 21:51:00 +0000

1 Timothy 6:10 (King James Version)

10For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

If the love of money is the root of all evil, guess where is the soil?

Evil here could mean all the evils that are happening in our lives. Barreness, futility, sickness and disease, worries, heartaches, debts, etc.

The soil here is our heart. This implies that the love of money is the cause of all evil that is happening in our lives and the lives of those around us.

Let us see what Jesus said what we should be.

Hebrews 13

5Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said,
"Never will I leave you;
never will I forsake you."

6So we say with confidence,
"The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid.
What can man do to me?"

Mark 11:17 (King James Version)

17And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.

Our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, the temple is the house of God, this house of God is a house of prayer for all nations.

How can anyone make their own temple of God a den of thieves?
The thief comes to steal, kill and destroy.
If the love of money is the root (cause) of all evil, then
the love of money is the foothold for the den of thieves (the works of the enemy in our lives).

Jesus said we cannot serve God and money. We must choose one.

And if we as children of God choose to love money, then we are actually choosing to invite the root of all evils into our lives. As our heart is occupied with other love than the love of God. The love of money has opened the door to the den of thieves not wonder we see the works of the enemy running rampant.

If any of us has made this mistake what should be do?
Repent (change our mind).

Mark 11
15 So they came to Jerusalem. Then Jesus went into the temple and began to drive out those who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves. 16 And He would not allow anyone to carry wares through the temple.

Recognise and drive out busy and unfruitful activities that are causing troubles in our lives and causing worries in our hearts. Do not fret. Have rest in the heart.

Knowing our temple is a house of prayer for the nations.

THE POWER OF FORGIVENESS (author unknown)

noreply@blogger.com (Jewel) — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 21:23:00 +0000

~~~THE POWER OF FORGIVENESS~~~
To forgive
Is really to remember
That nobody is perfect
That each of us stumbles
When we want so much to stay upright
That each of us says things
We wish we had never said
That we can all forget that love
Is more important than being right
To forgive is really to remember
That we are so much more
Than our mistakes
That we are often more kind and caring
That accepting another's flaws
Can help us accept our own

To forgive is to remember
That the odds are pretty good that
We might soon need to be forgiven ourselves
That life sometimes gives us more
Than we can handle gracefully

To forgive is to remember
That we have room in our hearts to
Begin again.

Live simply. Love generously.
Care deeply. Speak kindly.
Leave the rest to God !

God's eyes is going back and forth the earth to see ...

noreply@blogger.com (Jewel) — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 22:07:00 +0000

Yes, God's eyes is looking back and forth the earth to see who He could show favour to. To see who has given up their futile pursuits and have turned their eyes over to Him for help. He is an ever present help our times of need. The reward of trusting in the Lord is to see the desires of our hearts fulfilled. Yes, it is absolutely rewarding to trust in Him.

Have a "David" spirit,
have a never say "die" attitude, even in the midst of pursuit of his enemies, he could still sleep well in the desert.

Have a "Joseph" spirit,
have a God consciousness spirit, he did not despair when he was sold to Egypt, and did not blame God even when he was wrongly accused and landed in the dungeon.

Have an "Abraham" spirit,
A man who can bargain with God for the deliverance of a city
if only he had continued to ask God to spare the city for the sake of one righteous perhaps the Lord might use Lot to save the whole city.

Always trust in the Almighty despite anything that is happening around us. Let go and let Him take control is to simply trust in Him.

Faith is nothing more than believing God to do exactly what He says in His Word to do, and our standing firm on it without waivering.

Let us speak good that we may see good.

Rejoice, we have a faithful God.

Speaking Forth, Proclaiming your blessings

Can't wait to share with you. A sister in Christ showed me her plot of land where she planted some vegetables. She was telling us about it in February that she wanted to sow some seeds on a plot of land. In my mind, I thought it was near impossible in land scarce Singapore. And lo and behold, her neighbourhood community club put up a notice for residents who would like to try their hands in planting. And allocated each interested their small patch of land (for free). This was indeed unheard of.

Today she walked us there to see her tiny plot of land and it was indeed full grown with so much greens. And very fruitful too. She plucked her first fruit and gave it to me to use for our caregroup's chalet gathering tomorrow. The gourd is huge! We are so blessed.

Initially she started with what the horticulturist passed to her the seeds to plant. And then, her plants became the most blossoming patch. And the horticulturist's patch is indeed small compared to hers.

"why is it that the horticuturist's patch looks so pathetic compared to hers?" she replied "I have Abba whereas the horticulturist does not". "I claim everyday that like Joseph all I do prosper ... and I can see myself prospering in eveything I do" ... just imagine .... in such trying times it shocked us to hear that she was asking Abba for 5figure bonus. And when she was given only 4figure, she kept claiming that the 5figure was coming. Until she told us that indeed she received the 5figures! Such is the power of our proclamation. There is lots to claim as God's economy there is no recession nor famine! "All are yours" Yes, all He has are ours! How generous our heaveny Father! Praise Him.

Christ is the Head of my household and the King of my heart.

2 Samuel 6 (King James Version)

6And when they came to Nachon's threshingfloor, Uzzah put forth his hand to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen shook it.

7And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzzah; and God smote him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of God.

11And the ark of the LORD continued in the house of Obededom the Gittite three months: and the LORD blessed Obededom, and all his household.

12And it was told king David, saying, The LORD hath blessed the house of Obededom, and all that pertaineth unto him, because of the ark of God. So David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obededom into the city of David with gladness.

13And it was so, that when they that bare the ark of the LORD had gone six paces, he sacrificed oxen and fatlings.

14And David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod.

15So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the LORD with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet.

When we are in Christ, we are a new creation, the old has passed and the new has come. our attitude towards Christ Jesus will determine how blessed we can be.

Obededom obviously knew how to honour the Ark, and the Ark was very comfortable in his household and so everyone and everything in his household was blessed. Compared to Uzzah whose name means personal strength.

Hence we conclude that we cannot use our personal strength to honour the Ark in our life. We must use His strength and His method. When we do, one of the evidence would be that our hearts are filled with gladness.

Like for every "...six paces, he sacrificed oxen and fatlings."
remembering the Holy sacrifice as often as we do it, do it in remembrance of Jesus. One very practical way is to part-take the Holy Communion on a regular and personal basis remembering Jesus and honouring the finished work on the Cross.

Constantly affirming our love for Him, and His love for us.

The Holy Spirit prompted me yesterday when I was feeling so depressed "Do you still believe that God loves you very much?" His voice was so gentle and so soothing.

Sad hearts weep no more. In the presence of our Lord Jesus there is abundant life.

Amen.

We have the mind of Christ

1 Corinthians 2:16 (King James Version)

16For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? but we have the mind of Christ.

Do you know what is the key to unlock the whole blessings of Deuteronomy 28?

Deuteronomy 28
1And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:

2And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.

John 2:5 (King James Version)

5His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.

The key from the above two verses is : Doing whatever He tells us to do this very moment.

And we could expect His miracles results.

Hurray!

Name Your Harvest

noreply@blogger.com (Jewel) — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 21:24:00 +0000

The Lord spoke to me about naming my harvest sometime ago. And last week, He spoke to me about this again.

Let us sow all our hurts and our losses as seeds for a huge harvest. Yes, only we Christians are able to do that.

As usual, the Lord knows that I won't just take this as face value. I need scriptures to back this up and confirm.

Then graciously He showed me, guess where?

In the feeding of the five thousand men, the disciples had already named their harvest. Their harvest was the feeding of the five thousand men and their families. Their seed? A little boy's five loaves and two fish.

And the generosity of the Father exceeded their request by 12 basketful leftover fresh supplies of bread and fishes.

This is how good and generous my Heavenly Father is.

So when a child of God faces hurts and setbacks of any kind, all he/she needs to do is to sow all these hurts and set backs as seeds for a huge harvest.

Like if a child of God has fever, we can sow our fever as seed and name divine health as our harvest.

Fact vs Truth. Truth will always bear witness to the Truth.

Jesus has already healed all of us by His stripes. There is no sickness that our Lord's stripes has not taken away.

God has already supplied all our needs according to His riches in glory. All means all. If there is a need in our lives, let's meet it God's way. Sow a seed like the disciples did, and name the harvest. God does not despise small seeds. The fewer the seeds, the greater the harvest. Just name the harvest when we sow by simply whispering a prayer to the Lord.

Facts are just lying symptoms if they don't line up to the Truth of God's Word.

Just how much our heavenly Father loves us.

Thank God for the trials in our lives, now we know we sow them as seeds for huge harvests.

Praise the Lord! Amen.

Fruit not flower

noreply@blogger.com (Jewel) — Sat, 09 Jan 2010 00:30:00 +0000

We have a pot of chilly plant at home. It took about 6months or more to have our first chilly. Grown from one seed of the ten or more seeds sown.

Boy was I excited when I saw the first flower. I expected to have the first chilly from it. But to my disappointment, it faded, dried up and dropped.

And there there was the 2nd flower, the 3rd flower and so on.

Some became chillies while some dropped off.

I notice that on days that I forgot to water the plant some of the dried flowers would wither off quickly and drop off the plant.
I also notice that for those dried flowers that did not drop off, they have already become a fruit and on their way to become a red chilly.

My observation: it is easy to wither with flowers but not with a fruit. a fruit (chilly) will grow until it ripes and be plucked and enjoyed or grow to ripen and turn bad if no one plucks it.

Now …

22… the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
Galatians 5:22-23 (New International Version)

My small chilly plant has now become taller than me.
And it has many small chillies.

Am I glad that it is the fruit of the Spirit and not the flower of the Spirit.

This means that these 9 qualities love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control are already inherent inside of us the moment we receive Christ Jesus as our personal Lord and Saviour. And like fruit, it matures with time.

Hey, wait a minute, where is prosperity?

Yes, got it … it is in peace.

Abba Father, thank you so much for this wonderful plan of salvation, we are so blessed in Christ. Amen

Casting our cares unto the Lord

noreply@blogger.com (Jewel) — Sun, 10 Aug 2008 08:37:00 +0000

Do not be anxious about anything instead in everything by prayer and supplications, make your request unto the Lord, and the peace of God which surpasses all understanding will guide your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

Cast all your cares upon the Lord for you are His personal concern.

Two or three of our sisters from my previous church had come down with cancer at different times. At one visitation, I heard one of us said in consolation to the sickly one “we don’t know when our turn will come” … in my heart I said to myself “I reject that in Jesus’ name”.

The beauty of this church is, it is small, a very closely-knitted church. Most of us have been there for more than 10 over years. We meet one another every Sunday and on some weekdays of the month for ministries.

The beauty of this church is, when one of them suffers, the whole church got to know about it through the mass email and the whole church prays (since the church is not so large). Also the most interesting of all is, this church does not indeed believe in the manifestation of the power of God in terms publicly praying for the sick or the needy in the church service. They do it on a one to one basis laying hands over the sick. Especially sharing their prayer requests in their own Oikos fellowship level. The fact is that they can share, they will share, they dare to bare their needs in the presence of their own brothers and sisters in the Lord, they know the power of prayer and the power of the One whom they pray to.

More interestingly is the fact that, they will also go out to other mega churches in the country, especially where they hear of healing rallies taking place, they will accompany their sick there.

And in most cases, we hear of step by step improvements in their sicknesses, their good response to the chemo therapies, and some even completely healed of their plight. I hear of one instantaneous healing of cancer too.

I personally know of one who discovered she has breast cancer, and the whole church in email broadcast was praying for her throughout the progress of her treatment. And she has indeed come out stronger and bolder in the Lord. Even her then fiance did not waiver to take her as his bride. She was completely well. They recently walked down the aisle tied the knot together.

Sometimes casting our cares to the Lord does not mean to keep quiet, to remain private. Many times those of us who are struggling in one area of challenge in our lives must learn to let go of our pride and even our privacy to rally the prayer support of others around us.

If the paralytic man had not made known his wishes to be healed by Jesus to his four friends how would they have the boldness to break the roof and lower him down in the room filled with and in the presence of all the top teachers of the Law, the Pharisees, the who-is-who in those days.

I suspect the one who hides his needs and acts tough seems to be fighting the battle alone and finds it tougher compared to the one who seems to say help me, stand in faith with me, pray alongside me till I come out the other side completely whole, prosperous and well has a higher chance of receiving what he/she asks of the Lord.

Don’t hide for privacy’s sake, don’t hide for pride’s sake, don’t hide just because you need to “protect” the name of the Lord by appearing that all is fine.

Whose fault is it that this man was born blind? His or his parents?
Neither, but that the glory of God might be revealed.

We don’t ask why this happened that the man was in such a huge mountain of debt, or the lady is in such sorry state. But as they bare their souls to the Lord and to the church, let us pray that the glory of the Lord be manifested in their lives. The glory, the deliverance, the goodness of our loving Abba Father.

Dear Abba Father,

Thank you for forgiving us all our sins, our unrighteouness and our self righteousness. Thank you for giving us your everlasting righteousness in the person of our Lord Jesus Christ. Thank you for giving us your righteousness.

Hence, no weapons formed against us shall prosper, every tongue that rises against us we shall condemn. For our righteousness is from You, this is our inheritance, we the servants as well as the children of the Lord Most High.

The prayer of the righteous accomplishes much. Especially the prayer inline with Your Word, Your will for our lives.

Thank you for making us healthy, wealthy and happy in the Lord everyday.

Your word says

Beloved, above all things, I pray that you will prosper and be in health even as your soul prospers.

So we know it is in Your Will for us to be prosperous here on earth.

Your Will for us to be healthy and to remain healthy all the days of our lives.

Also Your will for us to be happy, holy and pure in Christ, soul prosperity, all the days of our lives.

Since it is Your Will, You will accomplish all the above in our lives not by our own efforts or by our own might but by Your Spirit. You will keep us in Christ all the days of our lives.

We are Your beloved children.

You spoke to me yesterday, notice the righteous shall inherit the land?

Psalm 37:29 the righteous will inherit the land
and dwell in it forever.

Inherit means you need not pay for it, My Son already did.

Thank you Abba Father.

Be it unto us according to Your Word.

In Jesus’ Name Amen

Good News to the Poor, Healing the Broken-hearted, Deliverance to the Captives

Luke 4
18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

21And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.

Let us give thanks to the Lord for His goodness and His glory in our lives right now.

Let the Holy Spirit minister to us in His Words and let His glory manifest in our lives as the supernatural touches the natural.

Shalom

Are you keeping quiet?

noreply@blogger.com (Jewel) — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 00:43:00 +0000

The story that I heard sometime back came into my mind recently.

It was about two prominent leaders who went on a fishing trip one day.

Both leaders let down their lines in their own territory side of the boat.

At the end of the fishing session, one leader caught some fish but the other did not.

The one who caught some fish happened to be the leader of a group of people who speaks up about their situations in their organisation.

The other who caught nothing happened to a leader of a group of people who do not speak up whatever they are going through. The fishes, like the people, do not open their mouths and hence they are not caught.

Just for laugh.

The devil is very happy when God's children keep quiet to God about their struggles, try to put up a front and they do their best not to worry. Instead they vent their frustrations on their loved ones, short-temperedness, impatience, rudeness, etc.

The way not to worry is to go to God in prayer about our worries, never mind if we are long-winded, until we receive the release in our spirit that we have fully handed the matter over to the Lord.

And we will find that breakthrough is indeed within a matter of days.

Philippians 4
6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;
7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Godliness with Contentment

noreply@blogger.com (Jewel) — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 00:45:00 +0000

1Timothy 6
6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.

Colossians 3
2Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
3For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
4When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.

When the glory of Christ descends upon our lives, all bondage of our lives cease to be, there bondage of sins, debts, sicknesses, unclean habits, lack, sorrows, despair, hopelessness, etc will all have to go in the presence of the glory of the Almighty.

And we, His redeemed children, have direct access to His glory in Christ Jesus.

I like this version of Colossians 3:11 (Living Bible Edition)
In this new life one's nationality or race or education or social position is unimportant; such things remain nothing. Whether a person has Christ is what matters, and he is equally available to all.

John 15
5I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

Focus on Christ not Self

noreply@blogger.com (Jewel) — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 11:26:00 +0000

Heb12: 2a Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith ...

Focusing on Christ, not self, will help us overcome our shyness, our inferiority complex, our pride and our ego.

And would help us do the extraordinary, like Peter, walking on the water, like Paul and the early disciples, healing the multitudes, etc.

Many of Jesus' disciples today are doing exactly like the Master, healing and restoring the multitudes.

All it takes is for these people to look away from themselves and their weaknesses and looking unto Jesus the Saviour of the world.

It is the Lord's pleasure to take / use the simple / foolish things of the world to confound the wise, that man should not glory except in the glory of the Lord God Almighty.

Matt 14:3a
Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus...

Do whatever He tells you to do

noreply@blogger.com (Jewel) — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 23:18:00 +0000

John 2:
5His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.

This is Mary, the same woman, whom the angel Gabriel appeared to some thirty years ago with the Good News.

Luke 1:
37For with God nothing shall be impossible.
38And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.

So whatsoever the Lord revealed to us about our lives, to prosper us and not to tear us down, to give us a hope and a future, let us say "Amen" to Him.

Amen - be it unto me according to thy word.
