I was packing my things last night and as I was putting my journals in the box I saw my journal back in Africa and I remember the letter we did as an exercise how to hear God by Mama Pamela. I remember crying out the whole day that day because I couldn’t believe God will say that to me. So, Kirsten came to visit me and I was just sharing to her the story and then I said, actually I did that exercise earlier before in our prophetic elective class and Adrienne gave us a couple of minutes to find a place where we can meet God and write down our conversation. We were all shocked for a moment and totally got no idea how to start. So, I went to the big Balboa “Elephant” tree, sat down under it and looked at the sky. Lie down a little bit and started thanking God for the sky and the words just came and my hands just kept on writing like I don’t even have the control of my own self. It’s funny that it was written at the very back of the same journal and I shared it to Kirsten and I was thinking should I share this? After our conversation last night and my devotion this morning I felt I need to share it. So, my conversation with God goes like this, Me: “That is super weird God! You are just so awesome! I was just lying down here thinking if You will protect me from the ants that can bite me, then You instantly comforted me with those gorgeous clouds, it is moving so graciously and beautifully with this patterns, peace and calmness! God: “This is how am I moving in your life. No hurry my chid! Take it slow! It is ‘I’ that will move you.” Me: “But God sometimes I just want to be like those birds and fly and see until where I get.” God: “But you will surely get tired! Yes, you can fly as long as you can and as high as you want but you will get tired! Wait until I move you.” Me: “I’m sorry Lord! Forgive me! Soak me with the tenderness of Your Love and stillness of Your voice.” And suddenly Lord I can only see clear sky, so BLUE! It’s awesome! And those leaves are so beautiful. How come I never see that before? God: “Because you only see what you chose to see.” Me: “So, what else I should expect Lord?” God: “Sometimes you just need to be like that TREE, standing still there, waiting for me to provide and pour out, because I will.” Me: “God I know that Your thoughts are higher. Do it Your way, Lord! I surrender! I give to You all my expectations! All Yours Lord!” I need to go back! As I was sharing that to Kirsten last night when she visited me I stand up and look outside the window and suddenly the Holy Spirit just crashed in and I opened my mouth and said, it’s cool and weird that God gave me a comparison of a tree and why I suddenly read this conversation today? (looking outside) The tree when it’s newly planted in the backyard it’s life and growth depends on watering it every day but as it grows as a tree nobody water it anymore but fully dependent on the natural source of food from God himself. The sunlight and rain that comes from God. When a tree is healthy from the inside you will see the outcome from the outside. You will see rich green leaves. But when a tree is not healthy and dry from the inside, you will see it as well in the outside. It will be covered with brown leaves and dry trunk fighting for survival. When a tree is healthy it will bear fruit when the season is right. But if a tree is not healthy from the inside it will not bear fruit even the season already came. I sat down and I realized that it’s biblical. There is verse in the bible about a tree planted in the riverside I told Kirsten. Instantly in mind I was reminded that whatever experience and encounter we had it has to be evaluated by the scripture. The encounter must match the bible. I realized as well that it is very symbolic. Jesus is the tree of life and we have to be imitators of Him. This morning I resume to where I Stopped in the Gospel of Mark and surprisingly it is the interpretation of the sower and the types of the soil and the parable of the growing seed in Mark 4:13-32. When I got to v26-28, “The Parable of the Growing Seed 26 And He said, “The kingdom of God is as if a man should scatter seed on the ground, 27 and should sleep by night and rise by day, and the seed should sprout and grow, he himself does not know how. 28 For the earth yields crops by itself: first the blade, then the head, after that the full grain in the head.” I was remined that once our responsibility is to scatter the seed but God will do the rest. I remember my conversation with Kirsten last night. I was reminded both that when I was new, my mentor put a seed on me and watered it for a while but then afterwards I have to be that tree in full knowledge of what God can do on His own. So, I searched for the verse I mentioned to Kirsten and here it goes, Psalm 1:3 (NKJV) 3 He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper. When I had that conversation with God I totally did not meditated back what He meant. I also got no idea back then that He will move me somewhere else after more than a year now. But I guess God always knew the right time I need to process His word. I decided I will paint Psalm 1:3. Art is one form of worship and I am so glad that God gave me this moment today to reflect on what kind of tree I want to be. I want to be the tree in Psalm 1:3. When you read the full context of it you will love even more to be that tree. 😊
Have you asked yourself if you are worthy to be love? Maybe to other people not but God will never look at you that way. God will always love us because He is love. The greatest statement of your faith is love. Love others•Love yourself•Never Stop Loving! Even in the most difficult times and most unlovable people. You will never know how much power Love has if you won't try. 😊😊😊 #lovemuch #spreadlove #Godislove #christianlife #calling #passion #onelife In my Takeo, Cambodia trip I had such an awesome time being an art teacher. God really have his own plan, which I agreed always better than ours. When I was still in the planning stage and arranging things to do in the kids of cambodia, I told Mr. Kit i want to share some art stuff with the kids. That time I want to let loose and have fun again with colors and brush. I supposed to have a carefree art thing with the kids in the orphanage with water color and then it turned out when I got there they want me to teach FOR REAL in the school. I never hesitated to say yes though I never hold a brush for about 7 years. It became a burden to me hearing these kids have zero idea with art because they have been trapped in a gloomy mindset of after war setup. Art got some magic in kids, that stir up their creative minds and imagination. Art can bring out unspoken words and unexpressed emotions that can break any wall of miscommunication, language barrier and silence. That experience was totally awesome. I got to teach them and all of them taught me back, the strokes of colors i did back there were the strongest and boldest strokes i ever did becAuse i did it not for any client or professors but out of love for those kids. Those kids taught me something from within that is irreplaceable. I got to enjoy my birth right giftings to bless people which I never thought I still have. Don't stop trying and exploring things friends! The race of life will never stop, don't stop in the middle of your journey. Don't waste what ever you have! Bless people! Love more! 😊😊😊😊 #creatingmemories #travel #takeo #cambodia #onelife #alonetraveller #spreadlove #traveller #passion #calling #art #schoolexperience #missiontrip #teacher #thankful #blessed #favoured #livinglife #Lifetothefullest So, i wAs crossing the street this morning, just my normal day going for work then while walking I suddenly looked at the blinking green man. I used to see that timer for many times i have been crossing the street, but today i took out my phone and took a video. While capturing it the spirit within me urge me to make an impartation out of it. This is the very thing that came to my mind in the split second of staring on the timer. We are like that green man there. Our time here on earth is numbered. What if we run out of time? Our life span is like that timer there on top of the green man, it's gonna be unstoppable until that green man turns red. I hope today you will realize how valuable time is. Life can only meets the real value of it if you treat it with it's value. Don't be like that green man there that just waited until he turns red. You don't have another life to taste it. Salt will never be appreciated or will never have worth if it lies just there in your kitchen countertop but once you put it in your cooking and use it for its purpose it serve so awesome. How about you? Would you choose to bring life some spice? Live life now! Don't wait! You got not much time. You have a greater purpose than what yourself and this world shout in your brain! Your brain and so as your life will be limited of only what you see and feel and experience. Life is more than that my friend! Get up and Catch your vision! #Lifetothefullest #livinglife #creatingmemories #capturingthemoments #justathought #morning #life #walking #chaseavision #justdosomething #travel #serve #lovemuch #spreadlove #lovemorehateless #Agreatpurpose #calling #passion #share #bless #onelife "People will not care of what you know until they know what you care." I just read this statement in the book i am currently reading while on my way to meet some girls from the church. This statement was given by the author of the book treasure hunt to demonstrate that the best way to get people love to go to church is an act of service. The moment i read it, it really strike me because i strongly believe in this concept. Most often i get to give the most respect i will give to a person whom i can see how passionate they can be in serving God and fulfilling their purpose. I get to admire and be inspired of people whom I can see how much they want to honour God by honouring their calling. I want to see what they care about before i can even say anything about them. In my leadership i always make it a point to show them what is my passion and calling and try my best to show them theirs. We all have different purpose but same calling, to be a follower of Christ and proclaim the good news. What do you care about? Is it your physical appearance? Your career? Lovelife? Whatever it is one thing is for sure people will know eventually. People will see what you really care about in this lifetime. I pray that you are magnifying and reflecting the right thing. I hope and pray that you are showing the people around you that you care for their souls so they can follow the same example and they will do the same thing. 😊😊😊🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 God bless everyone.. Good morning. Today have you looked up the sky? Or greet someone with a smile? Have you ever wonder lately how blessed you are in the midst of trials and struggles in life? No matter what is our current situation right now remember in the past many years of our lives God had made us through it to make it today, so be thankful. Count your blessings and it will multiply even more not your miseries. Luke 17:11-19NKJV Ten Lepers Cleansed 11 Now it happened as He went to Jerusalem that He passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. 12 Then as He entered a certain village, there met Him ten men who were lepers, who stood afar off. 13 And they lifted up their voices and said, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!” 14 So when He saw them, He said to them, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And so it was that as they went, they were cleansed. 15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, returned, and with a loud voice glorified God, 16 and fell down on his face at His feet, giving Him thanks. And he was a Samaritan. 17 So Jesus answered and said, “Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine? 18 Were there not any found who returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?” 19 And He said to him, “Arise, go your way. Your faith has made you well.” Don't be like those other 9 who never give thanks. Today thank God for whatever you have and thank as many people that have done good in your life and also those people who might have challenged you but made a big contribution for who you are today. Spread gratefulness today. Today is A THANK YOU DAY PEOPLE! Thank you for all who have been part of my life! 😊 From the bottom of my heart "THANK YOU!" #grateful #Lifetothefullest #livinglife #thankyou #spreadlove #loved #christianlife #share "I don't need easy, I just need possible." - bethany hamilton. How many of you watched the movie soul surfer? Bethany was left with one hand after a shark attack and she is a professional surfer. She said those lines while trying to get back on board and surf again though it will never be the same again. Life trials and struggles comes and go. We all get a bite of it but the difference will always be how we make it through. Hold on guyz. Romans 8:28 says, all things work together for the good of those who love the Lord" things happen for a reason we may not know it while we are in the storm but will surely gonna treasure the lesson after the storm. God will never leave nor forsake us. He will be with us in the midst of the storm. This is my 2nd favorite line she said in the movie when she was asked, "if you can change what happened and never gone sufing that day will you do it?" (Pertaining that day she was attacked) this is her answer, "I will never change what happened, for i will never be where I am right now if it did not happened. I get to embrace more people with one arm than when I still have two arms." Try to see a good perspective in life always. Whatever may happen, bad things or good things don't let the situation changed you. Change your situation. Give your trust and hope fully to God. 😊 smile and move forward..😊😊😊 have a blessed friday guyz! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻happy weekend! Are You a Lip Service Believer? Last sunday preaching Pastor Jeff said, "Talk is cheap, action is deep!" I guess, I always believe that our purpose is to be followers of Christ not just a believer. For me, as a Follower of Christ we should move outside the four corners of the Building of the church and be with the Church! People my friend! Relationship! That is more important than any other learning or lesson! There are so many people in the streets who haven't heard about the Good news, there are so many kids around the world that need love and attention and guidance and there are many souls just everywhere wondering around the darkness. Live every Word of God by making it Alive! Try to wake up every morning and put actions on your words. I really love this line from a man of such an inspiration, he said, "I'd rather be in the darkness thinking of the Church rather than be in the church thinking of the darkness." It's good to pray about the chaos of this world but i believe it is better to get involve.😊 Our light will be useless and worthless if it will not shine so bright. A light can only shine so bright if it's in the darkest place. If a light remain in the light it defeats it's purpose. Choose to make you light shine. Be a true believer of the Word and put an action as a Follower! 😊😊😊 Be The light and Salt of this very Dark World! #wordofGod #reflection #devotion #allforJesus #christianlife #Imafollower #loved #saved #redeemed #favoured #blessed If you want an unending Joy, get it from someone Eternal. God! He gives the true and authentic Joy. Living for Jesus may not seem like the joy of this world where you have limits of the longing of your flesh and full of test and struggles but there is joy in knowing that living this life for Him gives delight to our Most Holy God. If you base your happiness of something and someone if this world which is temporary, more likely your happiness will also be temporary and can be snatch from you anytime. Choose wisely! #reflection #devotion #morning #Godmoves #Godspromise #GodsJoy #joy #happiness #love #favoured #eternaljoy #heaven #allglorytoGod #allforJesus God will not give you a partner just because you are lonely. When you are lonely He will make sure that you are solely into His presence because He is the only one that can comfort you and give you the true peace and joy. When you pass the test of loneliness and have come to the point of satisfaction in life of having God in your life, wherein you value life how God designed it not on how you planned your life to be that is when things will get clearer. It is not like when we tantrums and demand from our own desire from God and when we go emo emo and show Him how miserable we are He will quickly give what we want. He don't anyhow give what we want. He gives what we need. Same goes, He will provide the person to be with you, support you, love you and respect you next after Him when you are ready. How many of you knows that before anyone can be ready all goes into preparation? There's always a process for everything, even instant noodles comes instantly!!! You need to boil water and pour all things and seasonings in and WAIT! Take heart my friend! God knows His timing! What if our tongue are made of glass which is very fragile, will we be more careful to use it? Would we be more fearful that it may break and the first one that will get wounded is ourselves before we spit it out and hurt anybody else? In this world there is no perfect life, and perfect person. Our family and friends will never be perfect. We all have our flaws and weaknesses and every human beings will have there down side. We will always find wrongs among other people that is for sure, but you see my friend you are the same thing. People will also see something wrong with you. So if you will try to think about it what if before we speak out anything we try to tell the exact words to ourselves? How will that sound? If in any case you got hurt maybe you will think twice before you slip the words from your mouth. Words that we have spoken are like feathers that once blown by the wind we can never take it back. The bible says in proverbs 12:18, "The words of the reckless pierce like swords, but the tongue of the wise brings healing." Words hurt more than physical wound because physical wound stays only in the outside and once healed there will be no more pain while harsh words will cut through the inside and it will stay there within, we never know how long. We always have a choice, we can always choose whether to bring healing and encouragement and life or pain to the people around us. And the sad part in this cases, mostly the people that we hurt with the misused words are the people we love and close into our hearts. The saddest part is that when we slip those words out then we realized afterwards, the person that get hurt the most is US! We are all guilty of this, and it is never easy to control our silly tongue but then let the peace and love of God always prevail. Guard your mind and heart in that way you can also guard your tongue. In any case that we failed to hold our tongue and it slipped, always remember to forgive yourself and apologize. God will forgive us and will always love us, but let's try our best to love others, understand each others lackness and weaknesses like how God want it. Life is full of meaning. The more we try to see how rich life is the more we find out the value of it. God created life with such beauty, joy and mystery that the more we try to discover and find it, the more we get to see the meaning of it. The bible says, those who love life and protect it will lose it but those who live their lives for God will find and enjoy it even more. 😊😊😊 Truly living in God's timing, purpose and will is the best way to live and enjoy life. Don't just travel to see the world; Travel to witness life and witness God's power and magnificence in the beauty of His creation; travel with an expectation of seeing God in every place you go. Don't just travel because it is you passion but because you are passionate to meet God and bring God on every places you set your feet on. Give travelling the right justice.😊 So, I haven't unpacked my trek pack from my last trip and I just came back last tuesday night but i need to pack my things again tonight for my tomorrow's travel. Hahhaahah..😂😂😂 water and beach meet you soon! Time for rest! Time for getaway! Time for friends!

It's like we are in a marathon or quiz bee that has time limit or a distance that is needed to be accomplished. Life is made of time and time is created by God. Why do we need to worry or rush? Will you just get pressured and stressed trying to catch up with the time frame of this world? When people get into their 30's or when all of their friends get married while they don't even have a partner is like there's a time bomb ready to explode anytime soon. I guess its the trend of this world. We usually make our own time schedule or others make schedule for us. Stop relying on the timing of this world and start trusting the timing of God. He created time in the first place He sure knows the best timing of all. Be still! Stopping running after the worlds tik tak tik tak. Wait upon God's timing. It's always the best time ever! 😊😊😊 I was reading about how to find a treasure or get clues in your treasure map to do ultimate treasure hunt. The author said about the "word of knowledge or message of knowledge" that can only be obtained by the power of the Holy Spirit." Then these lines really captured me, "Most people know what is wrong with them, what they don't know is what is right about them." They have destiny with Christ and God's plan is always to prosper them and give hope right? That is God's promise in Jeremiah 29:11. It is all there. It has been there many years ago but most of the people don't know that promise. Then I got to the thinking, some people I have encountered before, they felt this emptiness and longing and unexplanable sadness and some are blinded by the wealth and lust and success of this world. There are those times that the Holy Spirit will prompt me to say something that they might be feeling that moment and it really turns the table. But there were those times that some people suddenly ask you just to have a debate over religion and I totally need to wait for the Holy Spirit to intercede and give me a word of knowledge and our conversation will eventually ends with silence. It is true that most people knew what is wrong with them and got sucked up by that idea that everything about them is a mess and completely wrong and unchangeable. Some people will only be aware of the truth if somebody will dare to open their eyes and let them see the truth. Which ever the scenario is somebody needs to do something. When Jesus waited for the Samaritan woman in the well He did both to her. Definitely the woman knew what is wrong with her, even being a samaritan is considered wrong about her that time. What Jesus did is letting the woman know that He knew what is wrong about her and how to make it right. For the woman to believe that He is the messiah that is all knowing He begun saying about the wrong doing that the woman is commiting but Jesus did it with such grace. He let her know that there is hope. Jesus told the hard truth so she can be free from the lies and eventually Jesus offered the cure and eternal offering. Jesus intentionally waited there for that woman so He can help her and save her by revealing what is wrong with her without exposing her to the people and condemning her so Jesus can also tell her what is the right thing to do. Jesus corrected and protected her by the truth, by grace and by love. My question now is, Are you a follower of Christ? If you are, will you also hunt, seek, look and wait for those precious treasures that awaits you? Will you correct your friends and loved ones with the truth? Will you help the blind to see? Or Are you in those class of people? Are you blinded? Are you not aware of what is wrong with you? Or what is missing in your life? Or you don't know the promise of God? You don't know or not sure if God loves you. Well, He do. He really do my friend! He died for you. He wants to save us all😊 I was reading a book and suddenly one line captured my heart. "Everyone is Worth Finding." It made me feel thankful that God really made a way to find me. It really made me think about those lost souls out there that haven't found yet. Many times I always tell the people around me why i don't like watching news. There is something within me that always tell me that don't watch. It wont help you. It always brings terror and hate and corrupts your mind. When you don't see how cruel this world is you will not have any reasons to hate it. I can walk in the streets alongside with a harmful person and i might still offer help. Hahahah, sometimes funny and scary things come across my mind imagining it could happen. But nevertheless, trying to see good things always in people around us or stranger is one way of loving them from a distance. Because no matter how ugly that person's character, how terrible and how cruel a person is, remember that cruelty or bad attitude was triggered of something. It is true that we have a sinful nature but it doesn't anyhow comes out it's a process that happened. So, there is still a great chance that one process can change that person and that is the Love of God. I believe you will all agree with me that only God can change people but how would they know about the love of God if nobody will tell them? That is exactly why we are here. There comes our part. We are the seekers. God value every soul so if we really do follow God we will have the same heart for the losts and sinners. We all once been in the dark times of our lives and everyone of us are once been created by a Holy God. There's always hope for everyone. Surely, there's a treasure that lies within each one of us. Ephesians 2:1-5New King James Version (NKJV)By Grace Through Faith1 And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, 2 in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, 3 among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others. 4 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),I always find it amuzing how much I learned from every book I read. I just finished reading "Surviving Your Wilderness" by Daniel Kolenda. Every part of the thin book speaks so much. Are you in the wilderness right now? You must know these tips: #1. Don't Panic Do not fear! In any stranded and lost moment having no clarity at all will make things worst. If it happened to be like things are falling apart stay calm and be still and know the He is our God. Call upon him. Don't dare to move without certainty that it is from God. Listen! Don't do things out of your own strength when you are in spiritual wilderness you will make the situation worst! #2. Assess your Situation Why are you in the wilderness? Are you in a wilderness of opposition because of your disobedience to God? If we do or decide one thing which is in the opposite direction of what God wants us to do not very long you will find yourself in the wilderness. Lost and sinking down in the desert. Or Are you in the position of wilderness of promotion? Wherein God test you if you are worthy enough of the big things to come? You are in the wilderness becauae God wants to see if you can be trusted of the task He is calling you. God is preparing you in the wilderness so in that way if you make it until the end of the test still trusting God you will be stong to face the challenge. As what the Word says, God will never allow us to get tempted of the things beyond our capacity. Check your life. Maybe God is just testing you, don't give up and keep holding on to the Word of God! His promise is true and real. #3. Find Shelter! There is no greater shelter than the presence of God. I'm always amaze how God protects me when I'm about to get tangled in the wrath of wilderness. You see, on our most vulnerable moment that is the perfect time for satan to attack us. If we are not fully covered and sheltered in the presence of God we will surely collapse so easy. But the question is how can you find shelter during wilderness. Those times you may have been blinded by the tricks of the enemy. You maybe lost in the play of emotion, how will you find your way in the shelter of God? Go in the foot of the cross! Just surrender to God! Stop hiding from Him but instead hide in Him. #4. Build A Fire! I remember in the Fire Conference Evang. Reinhard shared that once he was interviewed and asked, "how do you keep the fire going?" He answered and said i don't need to do anything to keep it going because God Himself will keep it going. Don't try too hard to keep it burning becAuse once you keep on obeying God He will keep it burning." What if it went out? You are totally dry? How? Well then, the best time to worship God is when you feel like YOU DON'T LIKE IT! When you are in the wilderness choose to worship God slowly the fire will start go ignite again and you will be consumed with His burning Fire. 5. Drink Water I don't know how hot it is in the desert but just merely staying in the construction site at work for the whole day will sure cause me heat stroke, how much more in the wilderness? If you are in spiritual drought right now you better drink quickly or you will be eternally condemned. Jesus once said to the Samaritan woman in the well that whoever drinks of this world water will thirst again but whoever drinks of the water that comes from Him will never thirst again. KEEP YOURSELF HYDRATED WITH HIS PRESENCE! 6. Find Nourishment If i will be stranded in the desert I actually don't know how long i will survive without food. I hardly survive with my normal physical condition in a normal weather setup how much more in the wilderness? Same thing in our spiritual life. If you get hungry or tested and fail for a day of not reading the word of God and a week without proper guidance of the Word of God how much more when you are in the wilderness? When you are totally detached? How will you survive? Jesus said, men should not live by bread alone but with every word Of God. Friends! One day without food surely your physical body will get weak. Few more days i think most probably your system will collapse. Then now how about no food at all for your soul for many days? Do you think you will survive the temptations? Do you think you will survive your wilderness? God loves us that much. He will always do. He provides everything we need to survive, the only thing we need to do is acknowledge that we need help and Let God lead you. We should have learned from the experience of the Israelites on the wilderness by now. Its should have been a short and smooth trip! It should have been a wilderness of promotion. God just need to see if they are faithful enough to receive the promised land but rather it became road to destruction. The travel became a tragedy instead of fulfillment of the promise. Let's learn from them and Try our best not to repeat the same. Let's all together look forward to be in the promised land!!!! Hold on! The promised land awaits you and me! God has been so good with My New life group. He never stopped pouring out the favours upon the people. From my last posts we declared new work for Angel and Fina but God gave more than that. He even give new people that can be a channel of favours also. Angel finally got new job to start on july 23. Fina finally got work. Pass approved today!!! Mhay who have attended our the voice event got hired tuesday after that week. Waiting for pass also. Still waiting for June and we are claiming it in advance. Favour for the leave approval for micah for our Thailand mission trip was so amazing! Her manager even put her off day the day we need to ho back sg. Super out pouring of blessings!!!!! I am overwhelmed Lord! This is just additional from all the blessings others have received already last month. 😭😭😭 😊😊😊 I am thankful seeing the people being blessed! May we all be a channel of blessings and favours! Let's flow it!!!! Praise God for everything! SUPER THANK YOU LORD!!!!😍😍😍 During Jesus ministry here on earth most of us knew about the 12 Disciples and many of us will also wonder; How come Judas who have been with Jesus face to face, who have worked with the Messiah and witness every miracle He did was able to betray God. Judas was there just the same as the other 11. Why the other 11 fully surrendered and he did not? Judas have seen Jesus physically and still manage to betray his master, I wonder how can we be much worst than him. Judas was with them but not OF them. He was there but not fully embrace it. He was a practical man who thinks of his position after thinking forward of what can happen to Jesus. John 13:18-21 18 “I do not speak concerning all of you. I know whom I have chosen; but that the Scripture may be fulfilled, ‘He who eats bread with Me[a] has lifted up his heel against Me.’[b] 19 Now I tell you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, you may believe that I am He.20 Most assuredly, I say to you, he who receives whomever I send receives Me; and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me.” 21 When Jesus had said these things, He was troubled in spirit, and testified and said, “Most assuredly, I say to you, one of you will betray Me.” Judas became so cold. He is IN company with them but not OF the company. He is not truly within the family. Some of the christians are also like that. Not because we go to church we became child of God. We might have an interest in the Word of God but it doesn't mean we are saved. You will know in yourself that you are saved. You and God should know more than anyone else. We can fool people but we can never fool ourselves and GOD. Judas was with Jesus more thAn 3 years but still manage to turn upside down. What can make you do the same thing to Jesus? Giving all up and choose other way other than what is Jesus leading you? Is it wealth and security like Judas? Have you examine yourself? Are you serving but not fully surrendered to God? How much of Judas do you have in yourself? 2 Corinthians 13:5New King James Version (NKJV)5 Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified. We might be serving with the company of believers and believe in God but not become one of them. Salvation is not as cheap as we get it and loss it and get it again and loss it. Be real with yourself and ask yourself right now, are you really OF the believers company? When you finally identify and be honest with yourself that is the only way you can make it right with God. It's either you will come to the time that Satan will finally get a full of you like Judas. John 13:27New King James Version (NKJV) 27 Now after the piece of bread, Satan entered him. Then Jesus said to him, “What you do, do quickly.” Or be full of the radical love of Jesus. His Love is consistent. In the whole time that Judas was with them from the start Jesus knew it will be Judas but He have shown the same love with all of the 12. They never knew that one of them will betray Jesus. Jesus loved Judas until the very end. That is why He is troubled that one of them will betray Him(v21) not because He will die but one of them will be lost eternally. He is feeling the same way for all of us. He doesn't just love us when we serve or because He wants us to go for mission, worship His name and be a leader or pastor. HE LOVES US! Period!!! Don't wait until it's too late. Repent and finally surrender to His Love.! He is waiting and longing for you to finally Be Of His company. Isn't it amazing when you just found yourself the whole day worshipping your God. No sickness can pin me down and no worries can drag my spirit down! You are my Lord that made me stronger day by day and I know that worshipping You in the lowest valley is the greatest form of worship. You call me out upon the waters God's favour will always follow us when we choose to obey and honor His will. You don't just expect favour to pour out while you are not prepared for the pour out or you are off course of God's way and will. You will not feel the favour if somehow you are paddling in the opposite direction of the will of God. It will be a journy with struggles and exhausting but then there is always a chance to change route and go in the same current of God's flow. It's like you don't expect God to bless the chips you are about to eat to give nourishment to you body while everything it does is only to give you a short while satisfaction then harm your body. He will surely bless and favour you when you are in the right position to accept favours. 😊😊😊 Declaring favour upon you today! 😊 In Jesus Name! Where is your direction when it comes to relationship? Many mistakenly separate their relationships in this world with their relationship with God. I think it should not be like that. The direction should be parallel and not towards the opposite side. Surely if the two of you is directed by God to be together both of you will also direct each other to God. A couple that is bind by God is also sustained by God. 😊😊😊 If you are not directed towards God and only towards the world or you are just getting closer to each other instead of getting each other closer to God, far worst is if you are getting far away from God most likely it is not from God. Time to examine your heart..😊 #adamcappa #Godlydating #relationship #lovelife I believe when the big flood that drowned the world before in times of Noah and killed basically eveyone except those pairs on board. A pair of male and female different animals and humans "the family of Noah". Then after the flood went down rainbow show up to remind the people of God's covenant to the people and all pairs on board can start all over again. Now I have this wild theory. Hear me out. Maybe, just maybe the dinosaurs got extinct because they failed to listen to the instruction, and both males or both females went on board. So after the flood went down and rainbow comes up. All species went out the dinosaurs looked at each other and said: "Oww Crop! What a mess? How are we gonna do this? We are just us? What a Mess!!!!" Then yeah time goes by just the two of them then boom.. They are out of the history. You know what I think what goes in their mind that time, "the feeling was like the rainbow which is the promise of God all went black! All gone. Dissolved! All the colors just nothing. They are bound to extinction. Well, that is just my theory that actually make a lot of sense! Think about it people! #rainbowwentblack #extinction #twisted #Godspromise #rainbow For all the women of God out there! Our main role is to build our man up by loving them, and loving them is not giving what they want, but helping them to be a man of God and brings out the best out of them not to bring him and even yourself into destruction just because you think that will make the both of you happy and satisfied. From the very beginning women are already designed to support her man. She was created to be his companion for a greater purpose and give glory to God. Men and women are created to worship God but from the very start women have caused fall and destruction for her man. Eve was deceived by Satan and she went to pull Adam down with her. And it all begun from there and still happening until now. Genesis chapter 2 & 3 The fall has been done! Nothing we can do to change it or turn the time back but we can always try to be a better eve to our adam. The past can never dictate our future. Let's help to build our man up instead of tearing them dowm. BE A BETTER EVE! When life gets tough or I am losing my strength this is what I always remind myself. "I am not living for today but for eternity." When I see my friends fulfill their worldly ambitions that was once mine also, I remind myself my goal is not the success of this world but of the kingdom of heaven. When i see people travel from different places just to wonder and have fun which I once dreamt of also I try to look in the out there perspective and see how God plan big for me to be sent out in different places not for my own pleassure but for the Gospel to be proclaimed, for the Love of God to be spead out and for me grown and shaped beautifully. I want to live with a kingdom mindset wherein everything in this world will perish and all my being should be focus on what the heaven is about to pour out unto the earth. My citizenship is in Heaven. This world is my temporary home. #timewithGod #timetoponder #christianlife #ministry #missions #passion #allformyJesus You have all the freedom to enjoy this world but at the end of the day you will end up empty. Happy but not satisfied. Soon that happiness will fade and all that is left is one big hole in your life that seems to take all the sense of your purpose. Think before you even trade serving the Lord with all of this fallen world can offer. Friends I don't want you to look back in regret. Make your path straight NOW! Focus to God! Remember the more you desire to get and accumulate in life, the more life gets heavy. Think About it. |
