Facing Giants (David defeating his Giants)

Our Lord opens doors and no one shuts. He closes doors and no one open.
The Lord is my Faith, my Rock, my Fortress. He is my strength, he is my wisdom, he is my hiding place.

He sent me His Beloved son, Jesus Christ, to bring me reunite me to Him.

Looking at the past week, I'm sad that our brother in Christ had returned home so suddenly.
Our Chinese pastor had said, that it is okay to feel sad. But do not grieve like the world do, for our Salvation is in Jesus, we will see our brother at Jesus's second coming.

My work is not done on earth. I thank the Lord for sending encouragers along our ways. I like it.

However many are the Giants, when the tribulations abound, Grace Abounds Much More!

This year, he opened So Many doors for me that it becomes so scary that I was in His Limelight.
I never yearned Limelight. But I am touched that he told me that I was His to keep. My sister in Christ had a vision that he was cradling me in his arms.

My roots had just grown. I will grow more in days and years to come.

In my days this year when I started to honor my parents, honoring God in following Jesus teachings, doors keep opening one by one.

There are saying sorry and forgiving, taking a first step to give the words and to give a hug. To forgive.
I thank Lord for His reconciliations, that I may be reconciled to others, and the ones that I will know in the future.
Being a Gentile myself, I know the color of my race. Because Peter (a Jew) had been sent to the Gentiles, and he abide by the Lord's commandments, that I can now enjoy the fellowship with the Lord !
By the same, I am now color blind to skin color, I look at your hearts, the same way that the Lord looks into mine.

I thank the many brothers and sisters who had prayed for me, even when there are moments when the prayer was for the unknown person.
I also thank our Lord for informing me to pray for the unknown persons, only Lord knows who he will receive back.

High Praise to our Lord !

Rest up and take my position

I think we are all shaken .
Cried too much and grieved .
We will miss our brother .
Pastor lim reminded us , grieve not , for our brother sleeps. We have our hope and salvation in Jesus, that in the last days , we will rise with him. Pastor said our brother's work was done and he passed the mark and can return home.
Last night I was in no condition to sleep .
But The Lord has given me his message to me . That I should rest up and go on for his work . and continue to build up the body of Christ and win more to the harvest. This is very clear for me.

To the ones that has yet to come back to The Lord , give yourselves a chance to evaluate who is Jesus and The Lord . Each person makes the choice for himself or herself . I can only tell you so much about Jesus. Your own door , you will open or close by your hand. We can not do for you.
Jesus is knocking on your door. Are you looking at him ? Would you open. Your door to him and let him minister to your needs ?

Day of remembrance

Our brother in Christ , Steven Koh, passed on this Friday .

I met him during Alpha course . He was serving this ministry in the capacity of Audio visual department handling the ppt, sounds and projectors . His lovely wife Janet was also serving along side with him. A great team they are.

One time , I asked the question of axe head fell into river water , some one threw the axe handle after the axe head . The axe head and axe handle floated up in the river. Steven said this is to let us know the responsibility that we need to exercise over the lives that we lead .
In many ways , this is true .

It is one of the best advice and admonition and encouragement that I got from a brother .

When we hear the gospel , we need to be responsible about the decision that we make toward Jesus . If he feel that we need to evaluate all about Jesus, do so. Do not let a prejudice or a perception to dismiss Jesus as a by-word.

I recall Steven telling me that Janet had secretly prayed for his salvation, when he was saved, he was so glad .
The twinkle in his eyes when he spoke of Jesus, Janet and his two lovely sons, it was indeed like a faithful father telling his story of love in his family , like how our abba has lovingly treated him.
In his telling , I was also encouraged to go for my baptism 2 weeks back. I was glad that Abba had sent so many brothers and sisters to encourage me, to make this choice .

Thinking about the death of Steven , I had prayed about what my choice in Jesus will be .
It is time for action , the work to reap the harvest . The body of christ taking care of Janet and your sons . I know my Abba enables all my brothers and sisters and I.

Kudos to my brother and teacher , Steven Koh . We will remember you fondly . See you after the 2nd coming of Jesus .
