			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Then He said to them all(his disciples): If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.  For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will save it.  What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit his very self.  Luke 9:23-25</p>
<p>Followers of Christ is by imitating His life and obeying his commands.  To take up the cross meant identify completeky to with Christ message, even it meant death.  This days it applied to places like India and 2/3 of nations that Christ is alien to them and against their ritual.  Sharing the gospel in such places maybe life treathening.  But the essence of it to bring unbelievers to Christ and be saved.  And the path may not be easy.  So, our heart must be determined by being deny himself and that would mean being selfless.  Like Christ Yeshua comes to serve and not to be served.   </p>
<p>Following Christ may not be easy and to certain extend it maybe costly, but in long run it well worth the pain and effort.  Nothing materials can compensate for the loss of eternal life.  Worldly reward of weath, comfort, fame and pleasure is short term gain and it will be perished, but eternal life is forever.   </p>
<p>At one instant I was told that one particular church has multiple fund raising programs in place to raise X amount of money with the goal in mind to build a beautiful and big church.  At that instant I was confused of what it meant to be the follower of Christ Yeshua - To be looking good and be admired by others on the outer look.  That is not what I gather from the teaching of Christ, but we are told to build our tressure in heaven that will not be exhausted, whre no thief come near and no moth destroys.  Our reward is not of worldly reward, but reward of promise of eternal life. </p>
<p>Christ Yeshua stated clearly that we must deny ourself to be his follower.  We are asked to go and make disciples of all nations and baptizeing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.  And teaching them to obey His commands.  </p>
<p>I met a brother of Christ year back, and he opened a question of big church to support and help their fellow brothers and sisters of Christ in small churches.  He has open up a question that I never thought of before and it has stayed a long time in my mind.  And apparently the reason he brought this up as he don&#8217;t see it happening.  Many a time, people looking for recognition, being top 10 churches, best church facilities, and everything done or accomplished come with certificate of recongition from the church and pastor.  Not knowing that some churches, the pastor has to work to fund the church so that it continue to be operative.  </p>
<p>At this point of time, Abba Father, I seek for your forgiveness for sin against you of not following your wills.  Please search my heart and lead me to be the follower of Christ and carry his cross daily.  And lead me not into temptation on the worldly thing, but lead me to humble myself and obey your commands and make disciples of all nations and baptise them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.  Amen.</p>
<p>God Bless</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I come from family that follow taorism and worship multiple gods including our ancestors and with different idols.  My wife is a strong buddhist.  I am kind of a follower or sometime when someone ask me, I would said I am a free thinker - no specific religion in mind.  I was touched and safe 3 years ago.  So, I am like a blank paper or baby(at least in term of christianity) and wanting to learn and be filled with so many things - that what I thought and wanted for myself.  To certain extend it is right.  I have read words in bible and daily devotional messages.  What amazed me is word in bible.  I can read through the same word and in different time, the message open up to me more than I got in the earlier one.  I want to believe that it applied to all christians. </p>
<p>Myself, my wife(Grace) and my son Timothy were lead to Christ and safed a month apart.  My wife is safe through a Women in Christ that open up the Christ the saviour to her.  She was touched by the testimonies and accepted Christ at that very moment.  Being a strong buddhist and touched by God and changed totally, and fully devoted to Christ.  Our God is an amazing God and his love so strong that my wife and myself when throught the baptism a month after safe by christ, and indeed it is our great honor to be accepted by Abba Father as son and daugther.</p>
<p>We have removed the idol and anything related items in the house. and few days later, Pastor came and done the house cleansing and dedication of our house to Lord.  Later we offer our house for home fellowship gathering.</p>
<p>Our life been changed as we know we are made in the image of God and He will not forsake us.  For He is our shepherd and that lead us to quite water and restores our soul.  Many dreams and visions lead by Holy Spirit to open our heart and fill us with fire and full of zeal to christ. </p>
<p>Suddenly, I was lead by Holy Spirit to continue this wedsite after been lefted for awhile.  He want me to open up this website to be shared site for the believers and unbelievers.  This is His devine appointed time.  And not knowing what to be included in this reborn site, I just type in whatever in my mind that lead me to share the background and the encounter with Christ, and accept Christ as our saviour.</p>
<p>Myself and my wife have been praying relentlessly for our daughter and believed they will be touched by God.  I seek for your prayer for my daughter Moon and Jess and lead them to Christ and accept Him as saviour. </p>
<p>God Bless.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>  The whole earth is full of God&#8217;s goodness(glory).  By declaring God&#8217;s goodness has come to fill the whole earth, his goodness will be manifested in the earth, in the nations, in the churches, in our families, in our children, and in our life.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>  I have a dream and would like to share as an encouragement and evidence that in year 2007 is a year that God glory and jubilee.  A year where all bondages will be released and all things return to it rightful owner.  It is a year that full of &#8220;Abba Father&#8221; multiple blessing with great harvest and  wealth.</p>
<p>In the dream, I was in the midst of struggling as there were two person, one on the left and another one on the right pulling my hands.  They are pulling hard and for a moment my body felt like breaking apart.  Suddenly I remember a great name, name above all names,  Yeshua!  When I called up the name Yeshua, devils flee away and what a relief I am.  By faith I believe in Yeshua to be my saviour and by faith I call up His name, I am delivered from the bondage.</p>
<p>W   hen we have sin and not seeking the forgiveness and  be cleansed by the blood of Yeshua, and when we have anger, greed and longing for the worldly things, we are open ourself for demon(s) to enter and influence our thinking.  This is where we fall into the trap of demons and letting them to achieve their goals of defeating those believe in Chriat Yeshua. For they will try whatever mean to discourage us and bond us with all sorts of sins.</p>
<p>Thus by full faith to Christ Yeshua and resist evil temptation, evil will leave us alone (Yeshua when through 40 days of temptation and at the end demons leave alone).  So, as Christian, we all must know by just believe is not enough, we must live by faith and obeying His commands.  Arise.  Let  your faith a rise that our enemies(satan) have been holding us  back has and will be exposed.  In the end we will have the victory in Christ Yeshua over all demonics spirits.</p>
<p>As what Yeshua words to Peter &#8220;On the rock I will build my church and the gate of hades will not overcome it&#8221; (Matthew 16:18).</p>
<p>Gold Bless You.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: bold">God is love</span> and His love endure forever. His love is unconditional, for He love us first, even we are a sinner, He send His son and give Him up to die for our sin. For the blood of Yeshua being shed and purchase all the goodness from heaven for us. His glory is complete in fullness. God is good to us all the time, no matter what condition we ran into, God demonstrated his ability to work all thing for good.</p>
<p>Here are some of the goodness God have given us :</p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px"><span style="font-weight: bold">1. </span>She give this to all the Lord who spoke to her. &#8220;You are the God who see me,&#8221; For she said, &#8220;I have now see the one who see me.&#8221; (Genesis 16:13)</p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px">Some time we too have to wait. When we ask God for something and have to wait, It is a temptation to take matters into our own hands and thus interferes with God&#8217;s plan. Thats what happened to Sarai, Abram&#8217;s wife did exactly as stated above, she gave Hagar, her maid servant to Abram and thinking that they can make a family through her.</p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px">We have watched three person makes serious mistake:</p>
<ul>
<li>Sarai, who took matters into her own hands and gave her maid servant to Abram.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Abram, who went along with the plan but, when circumstances began to go wrong, refuse to help solving the problem.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Hagar, who ran away from the problem.</li>
</ul>
<p style="margin-left: 40px">In spite of these messy situation, God demonstrated His ability to work in all things for good. Sarai and Abram still receive the son that they desperately wanted, and God solved Hagar&#8217;s problem despite Abram refusal to get involved. No problem is too complicated for God if you are willing to let Him help you.</p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px"> <span style="font-weight: bold">2. </span>&#8220;You intend to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many life&#8221; ( Genesis 50:20 ).</p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px">God brought good from the brother&#8217;s evil deed. Potiphar&#8217;s wife false accusation, the cup-bearer&#8217;s neglect and cause seven years of famine. The experience of Joseph&#8217;s life for him that God brings good from evi for those who trust Him.  Do you trust God enough to wait patiently for Him to bring good out of bad situations?  For sure you can trust him because as Joseph learned, god  can overrule people&#8217;s evil intention to bring about his intended results.</p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px"><span style="font-weight: bold">3. </span>When we heard this, Yeshua said,&#8221;this sickness will not end in death.  No, it is fro Go&#8217;s glory so that God&#8217;s son may be glorified thorugh it&#8221;.</p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px">Any trial a believer faces can ultimately bring glory to god because God can bring good out of any bad situation.  when trouble comes, do you gamble, complain, and blame god? Or you see your problem as opportunities to honor God.</p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px"> <span style="font-weight: bold">4.  </span>In 1 Samuel 13:9, rather that waiting for priest, Saul offered the sacrifice himself.  This way ais against God&#8217;s laws (deutoronomy 12:5-14) and against instruction of Samuel.  Under pressure from the approaching Philistines, he took into his own hands and disobeyed God.  He was doing a good thing (offering the sacrifice to God before a crucial battle), but he did it in a wrong way.  Like Saul, our spiritual characters revealed under pressure, thing goes not according to God&#8217;s laws and plan.  So, importantly, the method we used to accomplish our goals are as important as the attainment of the goals.</p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px">Saul has caused much trouble for David but when he died, David composed a lament for Saul and his son Jonathan. David has every reason to hate Saul but he chose not to. Instead, he chose to look at the good Saul has done and ignore the time when Saul attacked him.  It takes courage to lay aside hatred and hurt and to respect the positive side of another person, especially an enermy.</p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px"><span style="font-weight: bold">5.  </span>This Psalm(Psalm 52:1)  is written about Doeg.  He thought he was a great hero-even boasting about his deed.  In reality his deed of evil has offense to God.  He betrayed Abimelech and David and then killed God&#8217;s priests.  It is easy to mistake acoomplishment with goodness.  Just because something is done well or thoroughly does not mean it is good (Like a great gambler and a great liar).  Measure all you do by the rule of God&#8217;s Word, not by how proficiently you do it.</p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px"><span style="font-weight: bold">6. </span> &#8220;Which of you, if his son ask for bread, will give a stone? Or if he ask for fish, will give him a snake ( Matthew 7:9-10).  Bread and fish symbolized good and necessary items.  Sometimes Gos know we are praying for &#8220;Snakes&#8221; and does not give us what we ask for, even though we persist in our prayers.  As we learn to know God better as a loving Father, we learn to ask for what is good for us, and then He grants it.</p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px"><span style="font-weight: bold">7.  </span>Beelzebub was known as lord of flies and prince of demon. The Pharisees accused Yeshua of using Beelzebub power to drive out demons ( Matthew 10:25 ). God is sometime labeled evil. If Yeshua who is perfect was called evil, His followers should expect some accusations directed to them. But who stand firm will be vindicated.</p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px"><span style="font-weight: bold">8.  </span>Sometime what we are tempted to do isn&#8217;t wrong in itself. Turning stones into bread wasn&#8217;t necessarily bad. The sin was not in the act but in the reason behind it. Devil was trying to get Yeshua to take a shortcut to solve immediate problem at the expense of his discipline. The fact that something is not wrong in itself doesn&#8217;t mean it is good for you at a given tim. Many people sin by attempting to fulfill legitimate desires outside of God&#8217;s will or ahead of His timetable. First ask, &#8220;Is the Holy Spirit leading me to do this or is it Satan trying to get me off the track. Important things we must realize is that all our strength are God&#8217;s gift to us, and we must dedicate those strength to His service.</p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px"><span style="font-weight: bold">9.  </span>Much good can be said of Jothem, who reign as king of Judah ( 2 Kings 15:34-35 ), but he failed in a most important area : He did&#8217;nt destroythe high places , although leaving them clearly violated the first commandment ( Exodus 20:3 - you shall have no other God before me ). Like Jothem, we may live basiccally good lives and yet miss doing what is most important. A lifetime of doing good is not enough if make the crucial mistake of not following God with all our heart. A true follower of God put God first in all areas of our life.</p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px"><span style="font-weight: bold">10.  </span>&#8220;And we know that in all things God works for good of those who love him, who have been called according to His purpose&#8221;. God works in all thing, not just isolated but for our good. evil is prevalent in our fallen world, but god is not working to make us happy, but fulfill His purpose. note also that this promise is not for everybody. It can only be claimed by those who love God and are called according to his purpose. Those who are called are those the Holy Spirit convinces and enables to receive Christ. Such people have a new prospective, a new mind-set on life. They trust in God, not life&#8217;s pressures, they look for their security in heaven, not on earth, they learn to accept, not resent, plain and persecution because God is with them.</p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px"><span style="font-weight: bold">12. </span> &#8220;All of us who lived among them at one time, gratifying the saving of our sinful nature and following it desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature objects of wrath.&#8221; ( Ephesian 2:3 ).</p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px">The fact that all people, without exception commit sin prove that without Christ we have a sinful nature. We are lost in sin and cannot save ourselves. Does this mean only Christian do good? Of course not, many people do good to others. Only relative scale, many are moral, kind and law abiding. Comparing these people to criminals, we would say that they are very good indeed. But on God absolute scale, no one is good enough to earn salvation. Only through being united with Christ&#8217;s perfect life can we become good in God&#8217;s sight. &#8220;Object of wrath&#8221; refers to those who are to receive God&#8217;s wrath because of their rejection of Christ.</p>
<p>God bless You.</p>
