The Incredibles

when i was a 'children'
i see my Father as a superman
One day, He said "I want you to grow up, don't just go around telling other children how great i am. I want you to be able to share mature things...."
Of cos at that time, as a 'children' i was like, what does that supposed to mean?
what am i supposed to do?
so i seek, and i found. asked and was given, knocked and it was opened.
wow! amazing really
now as i continue to learn the 'mature things'
i still see HIM as a superman
nothing changed, He is still the same
but i changed
i am no longer the weak child i used to be
i am growing to be STRONG, like my Father

In the movie THE INCREDIBLES
Elastigirl reminded her two children "IT IS IN YOUR BLOOD"
wow. how powerful is that!

come on friends!
we were ALL created to live a victorious life!
IT IS IN YOUR BLOOD
nothing lesser. unless you chose it otherwise......
Be a beliving beliver!

think about the movie
Dash and Violet was brought up to live like a 'normal person'
they were never allowed to exercise their powers
when the need arises for them to challenge evil
they were skeptical, they lack practice, they lack confidence
they don't understand how much power they actually have!
wow. cos it is in their blood.
well, they defeated evil in the end, so....hahahha

i read this book recently
it quoted
after you accepted Christ, you have a hope
the eternal hope of salvation
but while some people lead fulfilling life after,
some continue to be miserable
what then is the point of being a christian?
lol. the writer wrote 'at least these people have a hope of going to heaven'
they might be miserable but with a eternal hope
is this kind of life worth living?
people have choices right?
but i tell you. it is definitely WORTH it to follow Christ
the time and discipline you spend waiting on HIM
produces fruits of blessings, you really cannot imagine with our puny mind
come on HE owns EVERYTHING on this earth alright
If HE finds favour in you..... wow. just try to imagine...

'BUT seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you' (Matt 6:33 NKJV)
'no prolonged infancies among us, please.' (Eph 4 The message)

Life is a journey, it is better to do it together!
agree? agree! duh......

updates

greetings to you my friends

valentine's day came and went
while some of my friends were all excited, some were disappointed
obviously those with a lover are excited
and those without are full of self-pity
but for me, it was just another day
no excitement nor self-pity
i have my prince Jesus with me always,
i don't feel the lonliness as frequent now
well, i am alone but not lonely, if it make sense
i enjoy silent and solitude at times

this year is going to be a BIG year for me
if i were to theme last year, it would be 'new beginnings'
this year would be 'multiplications'
i am expecting many good things to happen
strongholds to be broken down,
as i invited God to reign over me
lol, i am serious
this time is different, different from the other times
this time is serious business, don't play play!
something changed. i can't describe to you
but i can truly sing
'lay my life at the alter, everything i give to you alone, Jesus take me now i am yours, here i am'
with a sincere heart, meaning what i say
well, i tell you, many people sing for the sake of singing
if you know what i mean

next week is going to be a challenging week
as i am attending a week of intensive leaders training at Church
it is a time to break out of my comfort zone
i am looking forward to it
learning how to be an effective servant
sharpening the weapons for the good fight
learning to use the weapons with confidence
it is amazing how God works to change me
HE can even use a silly children's cartoon to encourage me
*revealation today* In whatever difficult task i am doing, HE is with me to DO it TOGETHER with me. it is not just helping. helping means help la. doing it together means another thing altogether.
Again, if you know what i mean

so good to be alive and serving Jesus!
Shalom shalom

WINE

wine speaks of pleasures of the earth
it sounds harmless
a little is ok
does not harm
you tell yourself
i know where to draw the line
i know when to stop
AHA that's a LIE the father of all lies weaved
it's a trap!
a lie so cleverly set up, it fooled many
step by step, very unseemingly
we slipped
we violated the peace
the devil comes to steal when you least expected it

some will then say
What is freedom then?
when we can't do the things we desire
Freedom is ofcourse the ability to do all things
things that we CHOOSE to do to glorify God
freedom comes when we know the truth
and the truth sets us free from ALL bondages
we no longer fear of man, of things, of circumstances
we can do the things we desire WITHOUT worrying
freedom is like the eagle soaring Above the storm
with strength, unflinching, unafraid
mocking the storm with it's power
while others cower under it
then you will be glad that you chose to be an eagle

purpose

'you will abandon it in a few weeks'
response i got when i shared my blog with a friend
he has one himself
he was excited once
but the novelty wore off
he hardly write now

it was not very encourging to hear
it stirred some thoughts
it finally struck me
he has no purpose for it
but i do!
my blog presents my experiences, thoughts, feelings, ideas
to people around me
to know me more, to be part of my life
but most importantly
it contains the journal of my walk with the Lord
words i hope will bring encouragement to others
it is not all about me, I and myself
it is about us, me and HIM

exhausted...

it feels good to serve the Lord
exhausted it may be but satisfying
when u see people experience His love
love that overflows from your heart to bless others
they see a difference
they know we have a God
they feel the warmth
they sense the love
but they choose to ignore
unable to embrace the Lord
But HE has His time His way
we never know
miracles happens
it's all worth it
i am working for the Lord

Febuary

Febuary is supposed to be summer here
but it hit a low of 14 degrees
does that mean it is not summer?
NO! absolutely not. it does not change the fact that it is still
SUMMER time

some things cannot be explained
for example this freaky weather during summer
life brings forth many surprises
unexpected events that throw us offguard
but we have a hope, a hope that brings us through every situation

i received a surprise visit to my blog
i did not know that people 'blog surf'
it was indeed a pleasant surprise
'thank you' to my reader
i did not know i write great poetry
it was God's grace!
all glory to Him

circumstances does not matter
the situation may look bleak
people change, things change,
but His love never change,
despite me changing
my heart understanding of this truth gave me peace
peace that gave me boldness and calmness
what matter is the peace from within
the connectedness with the Holy Spirit
guiding me from within

i don't need someone to hear God for me
He is a jealous God indeed
He wants a personal relationship
not a triangular relationship
He wants to speak to me directly!
He is never far, for He is within me
Am i listening to Him?
Yes i am, for i have the peace within me

still

it is quiet
nothing is happening
quite confused sometimes
is everything ok, simply a season of rest and doing nothing
OR simply i am not listening to His instructions
O God, what is your will!??
Patience, i kept reminding myself
wait for His perfect timing

was pysically ill for two weeks, on and off
didnt know what is wrong
i ask myself, is it worry?
i am not sure
i know He will provide the best for me
i know he loves me very much
i contiually am concious of His presence and love
i am grateful for His love
people that He brought to give me comfort and love
i ask myself, why are you still sick?
it is not usual to be sick for so long
what is happening!?
i look to Jesus
by His strips i am healed

i also realised that many people has fallen ill
the devil is sickening
why is he robbing us of our health?
ahhaha but we continue to praise HIM our Lord
it drives satan crazy
he is so defeated at the cross

Everything is going to be fine
our hope and faith in His unfailing love
preserverance brings character
