Blessed (happy, fortunate, prosperous, and enviable) is the man who walks and lives not in the counsel of the ungodly [following their advice, their plans and purposes], nor stands [submissive and inactive] in the path where sinners walk, nor sits down [to relax and rest] where the scornful [and the mockers] gather. But his delight and desire are in the law of the Lord, and on His law (the precepts, the instructions, the teachings of God) he habitually meditates (ponders and studies) by day and by night. And he shall be like a tree firmly planted [and tended] by the streams of water, ready to bring forth its fruit in its season; its leaf also shall not fade or wither; and everything he does shall prosper [and come to maturity].
Psalm 1:1-3 (Amplified Bible)
I like the verse it says that our delight and desire should be in the law of the Lord; and on His Law we shld habitually meditates day and night. Everytime when I was in crisis or even whenever I'm free I like to meditates on God's word as it always give me refreshing revelation on the things that is to come and I will always be encourage to do more for the Lord as His word of encouragment thru reading the word always lead us into prosperity in the soul!!!
As Arise and Build is ard the corner, I really encourage the members to get into the word to get the rhema that God has prepare for you!!! So let us really move out of our comfort zone and press on the the prize that is ahead of us.
If it had not been the Lord Who was on our side when men rose up against us, Then they would have quickly swallowed us up alive when their wrath was kindled against us; Then the waters would have overwhelmed us and swept us away, the torrent would have gone over us; Then the proud waters would have gone over us.
Psalm 124:2-5 (Amplified Bible)
It is really that when we relies on the Word of God in our life that we can be dependent on Him in times of troubles. When you have God on your side, you will not worries of the thing that is to come as you can simply relax and trust God to do the rest when you are faithful in His commandments and words.
So everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts upon them [obeying them] will be like a sensible (prudent, practical, wise) man who built his house upon the rock. And the rain fell and the floods came and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. And everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not do them will be like a stupid (foolish) man who built his house upon the sand. And the rain fell and the floods came and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell--and great and complete was the fall of it.
Matthew 7:24-27 (Amplified Bible)
Be wise and build ur foundation on the solid rock instead of sand... Be firm in the promises of God over your life.

I've heard people say, "You never know what God is going to do." But we do know! His Word tells us that He does things by faith. Faith is the way God operates. Hebrews 11:6 says, Without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. We want to please God and receive His promises, so we want to learn how to use our faith.
Faith is simple. It's the language that God speaks. Colossians 1:13 says that salvation hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son. That means a Christian lives in a new kingdom where the language of faith is spoken.
If you went to Spain and everyone was speaking Spanish, you'd think, To function here, I'm going to have to learn to speak Spanish. That's exactly what it's like in the kingdom of God. To receive God's promises, we need to learn to speak the language of faith. In Spain you'd think, How do I say that in Spanish? and in God's kingdom you'd think, How do I say that in faith?
Just like any new language, the language of faith must be learned. In the past, you may have said what you saw and felt. But the language of faith says what the Bible says. For example, if you're sick, the language of faith says what I Peter 2:24 says-"Thank You, Lord, that by Your stripes I am healed." Pain may say you're not healed. But the power of God is activated when you speak His Word so that God can do the work He wants to do in your life.Labels: Personal Sharing
Hei ppl, I will be starting a series of sermon notes in my blog from the book I reading... Hope u guys can benefits from it... I know my blog have been stagnant for quite some time, now it is time to Arise and build edification to the ppl who come to read my blog...
These series is on how to pursue dreams in life, it is a modification of the understanding of the book thru my insights and understanding in searching the scripture. I understand it can be quite theological but I will keep it simple for all to understand...
Dear All,
It have been a long time since I blog. The reason why I am back here was when one of my students ask me whether I have blog, den I rmb I haven been blogging since after SOT and I started work in CKSS as relief teacher... It was so fun teaching there and I kinda like the environment there, but too bad I applied for Dip in Edn, and I can only teach in Pri Sch next time. Hope I can upgrade my status fast enough to be able to teach in Sec Sch soon.
I feel so refresh recently from the book I am reading now called "Become a Better You" By Joel Osteen... It was a great book that teaches you on how to become a better person. I have alot of insight thru reading this book and it give me the encouragment to draw myself into a bigger picture and step out in faith to do the impossible. It have been so long since I last doing things in Church and Home to be a blessing and encourager. After reading this book, I have a new sense of purpose and is really to equip myself and start to bless the community that I am reaching out too...
I was thinking of having a morning prayer in my current school and really hope revival can breakforth from there... Looking forward and into the Author of my faith as He had overcome the world, now is the time for us to Arise and Build. Pressing on to the dreams to be able to lead a group of ppl who are willing to serve and bless the community as it is hard to find servant and sons of God in these current situation...
