  • TODAY - CHOOSE WHOM YOU WILL SERVE!!!!

    Dear Readers,

    I had a wonderful sharing session with some friends during the weekends.
    Eventhough, most, or rather all of them are non Christians.
    Somehow, God gave me the opportunity to share with them.
    Was sharing with them a true story : - " TSUNAMI " which happened in 2004.Many of us are familiar with that disaster that rock the " World." I was drawing to them the attention of the ignorance, and perhaps, their greed too,which causes them to be so engrossed and estatic in going about to pick the fish, and that sheared their inability to understand the underlying danger of such a supernatural phenomena.
    I was telling them ,that, had the Japanese shared their experiences with the rest of the world; about " Tsunami ", those people would had been saved from their ignorance; and perhaps from the disaster.
    Drawing upon this phenomena, I was equating it to the " Different" God which most religions or people belief in. Now, with so many religions and beliefs; How then, can we know which God is true? Their reply was in the negative. However, I told them I am confidence in the God I believe in, and similarly, if I don't share with them my experiences, then, I would be held accountable to God by them, as they are my friends, and it it my responsiblity to bring them to Him ( God ).
    The seed is sow, so may God stir their hearts too.

    About a month ago, while I was worshipping with " The Salvation Army."
    I chance upon the lyrics of this song, and may all who already know the Lord, be united with me in prayer for the people in this world. Amen. ( See Below )

    OUR HEART

    Our heart, our desire
    Is to see the nations worship
    Our cry, our prayer
    Is to sing Your praise
    To the ends of the earth
    That with one mighty voice
    Every tribe and tongue rejoices
    Our heart, our desire
    Is to see the nations worship You

    Yes, MAY THIS BE OUR ' HEART , OUR DESIRE .'

    'CHOOSE FOR YOURSELVES THIS DAY WHOM YOU WILL SERVE.....
    BUT AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSE , WE WILL SERVE THE LORD.'
    JOSHUA 24:15

    God Bless.

  • CURIOSITY OR GENUINE CONCERN

    Dear Readers,

    It's timely for us to consider this question with regards to our daily living.
    This is an important issue and many of us often acted out of " Ka po " (curiosity/ busy bodies ) rather than showing a genuine concern or compassion.
    As Jesus was passing this place and noticed a blind man. The disciples wanting to know why this man was blind; asked Jesus , why?
    Is it because of this man sin or his parents?
    In ancient times and also at present, most people have this preconceived opinion that misfortune has a co-relation with a person own sinfulness,or that he is being punished because of his past generation; or parents sinfulness.
    Now, Jesus answered them, neither the person or his parents sinned; that he was born blind, but that the majestic glory of God might be manifested.Obviously,their focus and perceptions were wrong, as most of us often committed the same mistake. The main focus should be not why the person was blind, but our main concern should be how we can HELP the person.
    Jesus wanted them to have the same perception or " Heart " for this person.
    Simply, a loving and compassionate heart - a heart to show love in action and genuine concern rather than merely wanting to know the reason for the person mishap or misfortune.
    Pertinent and perenial point to ponder : - Do we rather gloat at a person misfortune or will we be able to show a genuine concern by rendering our help in one way or another.
    THAT IS GENUINE LOVE IN ACTION.
    May God enlighten us to be a more loving and gracious person.
