I was listening to an online preaching on my way back home and i heard about this story which i find very hillarious yet it got a point, so i want to share it with you: Hooray For That Judge In Florida, an atheist became incensed over the preparation for Easter and Passover holidays and decided to contact the local ACLU about the discrimination inflicted on atheists by the constant celebrations afforded to Christians and Jews with all their holidays while the atheists had no holiday to celebrate. The ACLU jumped on the opportunity to once again pick up the cause of the godless and assigned their sharpest attorneys to the case. The case was brought before a wise judge who after listening to the long, passionate presentation of the ACLU lawyers, promptly banged his gavel and declared, “Case dismissed!” The lead ACLU lawyer immediately stood and objected to the ruling and said, “Your honor, how can you possibly dismiss this case? Surely the Christians have Christmas, Easter and many other observances. And the Jews–why in addition to Passover they have Yom Kippur and Hanukkah… and yet my client and all other atheists have no such holiday!”The judge leaned forward in his chair and simply said “Obviously your client is too confused to know about or for that matter even celebrate the atheists’ holiday!” The ACLU lawyer pompously said “We are aware of no such holiday for atheists, just when might that be, your honor?” The judge said, “Well it comes every year on exactly the same date—April 1st!” “The fool says in his heart, ‘There is no God.'” – Psalm 14:1, Psalm 53:1 HOORAY FOR THAT JUDGE The story may have or may have not happened but we all know that there will be no end when it comes to the discussion about if there is God or not. Do you believe or not, it is your choice but many times in the bible it was mentioned that a fool is someone who do not believe in God, in His existence, His majesty and His presence. It is foolishness not to believe that is why I love this line i once came across in the internet: "It is better to believe in God and found out at the end that there is none rather than don't believe in God and unfortunately found out at the end that there is." I just added the word unfortunately because that is how i feel about them. It will be very unfortunate of anyone to be eternally condemned because they chose not to believe. It's always amazing how God works in my daily life. Before i even heard of the story I just shared, this morning before I went for my medical I played guitar for a while and worship the Lord and read my book. Suddenly at the middle of my reading i felt that urge to search for four square church and check if they really existed and they do. Their vision is Mark 16:15, almost the same as the great commission. The first time it strikes my heart and engraved in my inner being was when I heard it from Evangelist Daniel Kolenda. Mark 16:15 "And He said, go to all the world and preach the Gospel to all creatures." I was thinking the whole morning to write up something about this verse and God really made a way for His message to be delivered. It was just in time for that story. I read further until Mark 16:16 and it says: " He who believes and baptized will be saved but he who do not believe will be condemned. I don't know about you but that sounds scary to me, Being condemened for eternity. Fear the Lord, fear the thought of disrespecting God or offending Him. He is the God of Love, He loves everyone, He always does, but it is still our decision to accept Him and love Him back. If you are an atheist or someone who don't believe that Jesus is your Lord and Saviour right now, you might want to turn to the bible and read John 3:16. Jesus loves us. He wants to save us. He came to save and not to condemn the world that is why He asked His apostles and disciples to preach the Gospel to every creatures, to the whole world. He loves you and me and everyone. Just believe and accept it. Think about it! I love this post from Pastor Louie Giglio so i will repost it. Building yourself from within is very important. Not just for the young leaders of the church but for everyone in general. We should live in mentality that we should be a God pleasing person rather than a people pleaser person. We should cultivate, water and nourish our inner being with the Word of God and worship. Let's build up our character and integrity in line with Gods'. Remember that what you do in private is who you really are, people may not see you but God sees you. Matthew 6:3New King James Version (NKJV)3 But when you do a charitable deed, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, I left my tumbler last monday when I help some brothers in our church to look for a new place to stay to have a new venue for life groups. Good thing this morning in our company health screening I got a new free tumbler. Isn't that great? Hahahah..thank You Lord! #blessings #Godsmove #tHankYouLord Today, God must have really poured out rain from Heaven. Last week i felt like I'm on a test! I faced quite some challenges but thank God i survived. So this week tuesday my working pass was renewed and thank God! Praise Jesus today it was approved. Then this whole week my boss always talk to me about promotion thing and suddenly i felt scared and troubled of the greater responsibility. Then before going for lunch i prayed and my spirit lifted up. My heart was lightened. I told myself God is already providing. He knows i need to save up money for africa😊😊😊😊 so, He wants to promote me. I suddenly remembered! Come on girl! You prayed for this, now you are hesitating. Last week wednesday during the first session of nehemiah seminar i went down the altar for prayer. I was floating. When they asked for prayer all I can think of is I need prayer. So i went straight to Pastor David Lim's wife at the center and asked for prayer for my upcoming mission trip in africa, for all the preparations I needed to do. So, before i went to sleep I prayed, I was staring blank in the ceiling wondering about so many things. I said: "Lord, I need financial break through and promotion." You know that i need to prepare a lot for africa and its already occupying a large portion of my thoughts. The wife of Pastor David Limprayed for my Finances also. So, now? Why am i so resistant and bothered about the promotion thing. Hahahha..i dreamt that same night my site manager asked me to print something and told me that he is happy with my performance in our current project and he wants me to join the next project. And the song playing in his laptop is 10000 reasons. "Blessed the Lord oh my Soul." I asked: "why are you listening to that song? That is because he is not a christian currently and that sticked in my mind and i keep on asking God what does it mean? The other day he told me this girl is coming with us also. Yesterday he show me the new project he is going and he said: "your new project!" Today my direct boss reaction to our admin about my pass approval: "Good! Because I need her. I will promote her to the next project." Deep inside me I was happy and flattered and touched and thankful. As i was walking out for lunch and prayed my prayer and my dream all flashed back and right at that moment I knew, God is working. Everything is just in place and in time. Our company's up coming appraisal is this coming early June. Whatever it may be, Your will be done Lord and not mine. I am truly blessed and overwhelmed! Isn't this day so wonderful!!! Thank You Jesus! You are amazing! 😊 Your love and favours overflows in my life! Supernatural favours!!! All Praises and Glory belongs to you Jesus.😊 Today, God must have really poured out rain from Heaven. My cup is overflowing and I am truly overwhelmed. Last week i felt like I'm on a test!

Within this one year of preparation i know that i am also entering a year of battle. It will be a long and challenging battle. I am preparing my heart and soul with the word of God with every prayer i can utter to protect me from the trick of the enemy for i know that for this long one year the enemy will do its best to distract me. Thankful Lord for this seminar of the book of Nehemiah wherein you have already warned and prepared my heart with these list of distractions. I thank You Lord for eveything you are doing to prepare and protect me. Iloveyou Lord! Thank You for your Love!!! Praise your Name!!! Protect me always Lord, may Your Word be hidden in my heart and may You strengthen my physical body Lord and may i always seek of Your wisdom Lord. Protect my family and love ones Lord. Thank You Jesus. I pray all this in the mighty Name of Jesus. Amen! #vision #wordofGod #ministry #preparationforAfrica #LoveofGod #leadership #missions #ministry #Godsmove The daily Miracle. I was having a migraine yesterday and even though I slept very early it don't easily go away the next day but I am far better. I woke up and prepare myself to work, convincing myself that i need to really go to work but told myself I will take a cab. So i need to be at work by 8:30 or at least before 9am. I was already waiting for a cab about 8:08 in the morning and there was none. It was already 8:20 and all cab that passed by are hired. Now, so silly of me I only began to pray for a cab the moment I looked at my watch and it is almost 8:30 in the morning. I remember that Lady in the preaching I was listening last weekend who prayed because She was late for work and decided to pray to Jesus to protect her because she might just take the shortcut which is a very dangerous alley. The story was real and was in headlines because late night in the news she saw that on the same time almost few minutea she passed by in the alley a woman was raped so she voluntarily surrender herself as a witness thinking she can help identify the people she saw in that alley that time. She was able to talk to one of them and asked why they never attacked her, did they not saw her? The suspect answered and said: "Yeah we did see you." Then, Why you did not attack me? The suspect said: "Are you crazy? With those two 6, 7 foot tall guyz with sword walking left and right with you? Jesus protected her and sent angels just because she prayed because she is late for work. After that scene playback in my mind i begun to pray: "Jesus I'm almost late for work please provide a cab for me. Thank You." After that i waited patiently. A few minutes have passed i only saw three cabs with all in red light meaning hired. I looked down in my phone again and as i looked up the two from the side road turned already and left with the cab waiting for the traffic light to go green, then i was looking at it and i saw it turned green and i was like: "woahhhh, seriously God? Thank You so much! Your the best!" I'm so happy, then before i alight and the moment I'm already thinking to write a blog about this I asked uncle driver. "Uncle, i just want to ask: your taxi, the light on top was it already been green for a long time before i saw you?" Then uncle driver answered: Oww, no because i just alight a passenger so after that i changed it to green. I was so happy i told him: wow i never see you alight someone near the traffic light and the whole time you are waiting its in red. Then i told him: " You know what before i saw you i prayed to God to provide a taxi for me then I saw you and two more in red sign then suddenly you changed green. Amazing right?" The cab driver then said: "oww its after you prayed?" Then He smiled and i already alight. I went to the office greet everyone with a happy morning. It's the little little blessings that we received and prove that God cares in everythig we think of that makes me always feel loved by God. What did you received from God today? Smile, for sure there is one. You might just think its too small to be recognize. Pay attention in the details of life you will see God working. 😊😊😊😊 Philippians 4:6New International Version (NIV)6 Do not be anxious about anything,but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 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! Gift and reward from God. 😊 #traveller #feetonthego #lovefortravel #beach #getaway #vacation #friendships #christianlife #rest #livinglife #passion #growbeautifully #Godlytiming #Godslove #loved #blessed #favoured I'm finally back in my second home. What a long journey back home and when I was about to rest suddenly i missed the kids. Then tears started coming again. I just missed those kids. It's like part of my heart was left there in Chiang Mai. Then i scroll to my gallery again and saw my collage of my last night with them where in they Really slept later than usual to spend time with us before we leave. They really hugged us like they don't want us to go. I missed all of them with all my heart. Thank You Lord for breaking my heart once again with so much to witness out there. Your love is overwhelming. 😭😭😭😭 I will pray to never get tired on serving You. |
