A Short Testimony

I was having lunch my colleagues today and I happen to strike a conversion with this new colleague of mine as usual we then introduced ourselves which includes the faith we subscribed to. He told me is a Buddhist well I always respected Buddha because of his righteousness and his teachings. I then pop the question can you keep the commandments of Buddha? Let say “you should not kill” Quoting from the book what Buddha’s definition is not to take life from all things that has life. You will be surprise the list includes germs, bacteria, viruses and the list goes on and when you are sick and if you do take anti-biotic you have already broken this commandment because anti-biotic not only kills the germs and bacteria, it also kills your own antibodies.

Coming back to the question again are you still able to keep the commandment “you should not kill”? After the explanation was given you can see the convictions in their faces. I personally feel that there is no way for Human Beings to keep these laws it is just impossible due to imperfectness of Mankind. A Buddhist ultimate goal is to escape from the wheel of sufferings and attain Buddha-hood and to do that you will have to keep all the commandments and if you break anyone of them you will not attain Buddha-hood and you will still in the wheel of sufferings. This colleague then smiles and said he was not a very strong Buddhist and did not really practice it from there we can then slowly introduce our Savior into their lives, they may not buy the idea at first but at the very least a seed is being sowed and we may not necessary one that will lead them to the conversion of the Christian Faith.

Uncertain Future

Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose. This is the verse that I fully subscribe however this verse can be hurting and unfair and we can't do anything about it and who are we to question our creator?

We have this day we owe to Him who died on the cross our SIN He was sinless made SINFUL. My future seems to be uncertain and unclear and I do not know what to do and my track record for relationships is something that I will not talk about and its pointless. This being part of my weakness can cause me of my salvation and drift away from God and might even removed away from the Kingdom of God.

What should I do? Why is it every time when I get to meet someone that I like and I was not given a chance to progress if that is the case why let me befriend them in the first place? Again Romans 8:28 has an answer to it. Lord I'm sick and tired of all this and I can't take anymore of this otherwise I'll go nuts. Thats the reason in my prayers to you Lord I keep saying "Save me Lord, Save me Lord" in English and Cantonese. That happens when I'm sleeping too, why has it always have to be like this Lord? I do not have a clue to it. Lord I'm very tired and I have this request Lord "By all means take me Home if I'm going to turn my backs from you to a point where there is no return in the future, please take me Home before it happens so that I can be part of the Kingdom in Jesus Name Amen"

Judgment Of God

I'm sure we have watched a lot of movies and dramas with scenes showing the evil and wicked the gets richer and more powerful and the worst thing is they escaped judgment under the Law. We often asked ourselves why has not God's judgment be placed upon that person? The answer is found in Ecclesiates 3:17 I thought to myself, “God will judge both the righteous and the wicked;for there is an appropriate time for every activity and there is a time of judgment for every deed.

Yes His timing and we DO NOT NEED to take matters into our own hands just as what the Lord promised in Romens 12:19-21 Do not avenge yourselves, dear friends, but give place to God’s wrath, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. 12:20 Rather, if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in doing this you will be heaping burning coals on his head. 12:21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

The devil is smart he can't force us to do things against our will but he can create opportunities for us to sin and that is what he does best so do not fall into his trap by taking matters into our own hands but instead present it unto the altar and let God handle in the Heavenly fashion and God will gives us His answers in due course!

God Speaking To Us

Our God the most Highest and He sure does has lots of way to speak to us and that include His words, media or even from people outside our faith. The question is are we able to catch what He says for are we just mere listening? I have a deep desire to Hear God's heart beat and His voice as I'm currently seeking directions from Him.

I know myself very well I'm a hot plate while I'm still hot and burning I really want to do something for God before I run out of heat. Studying of His word academically is one area that I'm looking at. Experiencing missions is also one of my desire the destination is not really that important however the overall objective must be mat.

To be frank God did spoke to me before and its through "Our Daily Bread" and its further confirm by a passage of scriptures. To sum it all up God can speak to us in many different ways and it is up to us whether we want to listen to Him.

It's For Our Own Good

Life is frail and we should save one more for Jesus that's what motivates me. I know myself very well and I jolly well know that I'm weak in the flash in most area of my life. After seeing lost of my school mate it sets me into a series of thinking and it come to a point that sometime is better for God to take a person home when he still have God in his heart so that he can enjoy everlasting life in the Kingdom of God.

God knows my past , my present and my future and He knows what lies ahead. Due to my weakness and based on past experiences I'm really afraid that history will repeat itself. I don't want to leave God and I cannot for I enjoyed the personal relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ which I love it.

However due to my weakness and I do not have a clue what lies ahead for me and I always pray this prayer to God if I do fall in the future I have requested God to take me home before it happens. I feel that this is the best way although its painful for those around me but its necessary. This is the only way that I can be sure I'll be in the loving arms of Jesus Christ when I get to the Kingdom of God.

Am I being selfish for what I'm currently doing by shutting myself from the secular world? The answer is yes because of my personal unresolved issues and problems and this is work around solution until God gives me a permanent solution. I feel the sense of peace and I really felt happy being with God's children, serving ministries in Church and attending CE courses and I wish this will go on until my time is up.

However I have to be realistic and I may have to rise up to fulfill the Great Commission until I'm ready and have my personal problems and issues resolved I'm not going anywhere but staying in the House Of God. As for missions I will still go if called upon and also my heart's desire to experience missions and going to the land of Israel at least once in my life time. I always have a backup plan in all areas of my life and my backup plan for my spiritual well being is a prayer.

Here it goes "Dear Heavenly Father I know all things work together for good and for those who love You and who are called to your purpose Rom 8:28 I know I'm weak in the flash and can easily fall into temptations and I do not know what lies ahead of me and I know for myself if I fall I may fall even deeper and I don't ruled out the possibility turning myself away from God. I rather God to take me Home if that is going to happen to me. Father I know you love me and you will not allow me to fall, your mercy endures forever take me home before I fall into darkness this is my prayer and I asked of this in Jesus 's name "

God Reveling His Glory

John 9:1-11 9:1 Now as Jesus was passing by, he saw a man who had been blind from birth. 9:2 His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who committed the sin that caused him to be born blind, this man or his parents?” 9:3 Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but he was born blind so that the acts of God may be revealed through what happens to him. 9:4 We must perform the deeds of the one who sent me as long as it is daytime. Night is coming when no one can work. 9:5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” 9:6 Having said this, he spat on the ground and made some mud with the saliva. He smeared the mud on the blind man’s eyes 9:7 and said to him, “Go wash in the pool of Siloam” (which is translated “sent”). So the blind man went away and washed, and came back seeing.

9:8 Then the neighbors and the people who had seen him previously as a beggar began saying, “Is this not the man who used to sit and beg?” 9:9 Some people said, “This is the man!” while others said, “No, but he looks like him.” The man himself kept insisting, “I am the one!” 9:10 So they asked him, “How then were you made to see?” 9:11 He replied, “The man called Jesus made mud, smeared it on my eyes and told me, ‘Go to Siloam and wash.’ So I went and washed, and was able to see.”

Yes sometimes God allowed certain things to happen not because we or our parents had sinned against Him or whatsoever but instead by allow it to happen paving a way for God to manifest His Glory. Most of us is familiar with the stories mentioned in the 4 gospel books and there a lots of examples why God has allowed certain things to happen in our lives.

Human beings are weak they only believe what they see so God allowed the man in the gospel of John to born blind so that His glory will be manifested when the man is fully healed by God and when that happens there will be lots of witnesses which creates testimonies and these testimonies will be spared all four corners of the earth and many will come to the Lord!

Save One More For Jesus While We Can

Today was suppose to be an ordinary day for me unit my buddy broke the news to me that one of my school mate/fellow BB member has passed away. Upon hearing this news it sets me thinking life is so frail and we will never know what will happen to us tomorrow and God might just called us home without warning.

A common phrase "Life is short enjoy while you can" I do not quite agree with that so what if you have the whole world but if you do not have the peace of God I would say what ever you are enjoying is meaningless and temporary it will all come to an end when you are six feet under and you are not taking anythings with you.

However things can be different if you are a child of God you can take His word with you and you will enjoy eternal life in Heaven a place without SIN and death. As for now while we still can we should save one more for Jesus.

God loves all of us including those who rejected Him that's why we have the duty share the good news with others giving them a chance hear to the gospel. Our God is a fair and just God He gives everyone a chance to hear the gospel and He gives us the choice.

I was very close with this schoolmate of mine during our collage days we were from the same uniform group and we are technologies freak we maintain close contact until we gradated. The last time I mat up with him was a few years ago he was having his training in my camp during my NS days and since then we have not see each other and now he is been called home to be with The Lord.

Like I mentioned earlier on life is short, frail and unexpected we should make full use of our time to save one more for Jesus, getting involve in Church Ministry and spending more time with our love ones so that when the unexpected happened we will go Home without worries.... and we can boldly say to our Father we lead a good life and have no regrets .

My prayers to his family members and his relatives " Dear Heavenly we know losing a loved one is painful but life have to go on Dear Father God please help them go through this time of difficulty with strength and courage and they will be able to resume back to their normal lives as soon as possible in Jesus name we pray amen."

Matthew 24:35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
