{ Back to LIFE! }

"Our God is a resurrection God,

a God that can bring back to life what you thought was dead.

He is a God who can do exceedingly, abundantly, above and beyond what we ask or think.

He is a healer, a restorer, and a God who gives beauty for ashes."

J. Osteen

Back to life. and this time, it is not one of mine own..
but His, living in and through me.

Healing rain is pouring down, 

and I am not afraid.

{ Appreciate the now, Later will always come.. }

was watching click yesterday with mum, and though its a comedy, i was always get myself teary-eyed at this one scene at the end, where adam sandler was nearing his death -- he started to profess his love and advice to his family which he had neglected previously due to his own career ambitions.

there and then, is where it finally clicked (seriously, with no pun intended). it is time to truly appreciate what God has got for us now, instead of always opting to chase after what we want installed in our future. as He said it is done, then why do we act like it may or may not be?

the present is what makes the future and if we miss it, we still get to the destination but once we get there, it goes back to the vicious cycle of tending to look ahead, then to look around and taking time to smell and taste what He has got in front of us.

every season is meant to be enjoyed as it always prepares us for the next one. He never stops working in our lives and to be secured to that, results in a life dependancy of God and hanging on to all His ways, hanging on to Him saying what He would do, and hanging on to His love (Break Free, Hillsong).

"for as God has said so, its as good as already done."

we got big dreams, which God has very intention to fulfill. for everything comes to pass through His hands and not ours, is time to live according to not the world's rhythms, or even our carnal ones, but His rhythms of grace.

{ Back to the purpose of Serving.. }

we have a tendancy to forget the richness of our history, after we hit the period of redundancy or worse yet, complainciency. and is one thing i will never want in my walk with Him, and as well as serving in His house -- whatever and wherever it may be.

been harping on coming back to the purpose of all things, and He has truly opened the heart of my eyes to not only where He has saved us from, but as well as tasting His faithfulness in every season of our lives -- it is like a fruit that comes throughout the season; rain or shine, it is still there.

after a year of being privileged with serving in the ministry which i have deemed longed for since a teen, He has taught me quite a bit actually. haha, with humility and submission being the top of the list. yes what happened to God exaltation instead of men right? boy He definitely hit that right from the park.

being able to worship at the overflow, came to realized that the anointing of worship was really just the same. His presence truly cannot be contained, and He cannot help but overflow beyond the four main walls that we are so use to being at.

for Him, the King of heaven, the Saviour who was going to save us all, the Healer, the Provider, (and the list is just never-ending, meeting every single need and cry), to wash the feet of His disciples, with His actual hands, the hands that was going to bleed for us, is one extremely humbling act to be convicted and transformed with.

Jesus never let the label wear Him, and hence it never limited His area of serving. He served the moment there was a need, He healed the moment that was sickness, He provided the moment there was lack. never did He once paused, He just simply did it with willingness and love that transcends to every deed He gracefully met.

oh there is much to learn from You Lord.

{ Back to His Word.. }

This Is Serious Business, Rebels

The god Bel falls down, god Nebo slumps.
The no-god hunks of wood are loaded on mules.
And have to be hauled off, wearing out the poor mules—
Dead weight, burdens who can't bear burdens, hauled off to captivity.

Listen to me, family of Jacob,
everyone that's left of the family of Israel.
I've been carrying you on my back,
from the day you were born,
And I'll keep on carrying you when you're old.
I'll be there, bearing you when you're old and gray.
I've done it and will keep on doing it,
carrying you on my back, saving you.

"So to whom will you compare me, the Incomparable? 
Can you picture me without reducing me?
People with a lot of money hire craftsmen to make them gods.
The artisan delivers the god,
and they kneel and worship it!
They carry it around in holy parades,
then take it home and put it on a shelf.
And there it sits, day in and day out,
a dependable god, always right where you put it.
Say anything you want to it, it never talks back.
Of course, it never does anything either!

"Think about this. Wrap your minds around it.
This is serious business, rebels. Take it to heart.
Remember your history, your long and rich history.
I am God, the only God you've had or ever will have—
incomparable, irreplaceable—
From the very beginning
telling you what the ending will be,
All along letting you in
on what is going to happen,
Assuring you, 'I'm in this for the long haul,
I'll do exactly what I set out to do,'
Calling that eagle, Cyrus, out of the east,
from a far country the man I chose to help me.
I've said it, and I'll most certainly do it.
I've planned it, so it's as good as done.

"Now listen to me:
You're a hardheaded bunch and hard to help.
I'm ready to help you right now.
Deliverance is not a long-range plan.
Salvation isn't on hold.
I'm putting salvation to work in Zion now,
and glory in Israel."

- Isaiah 46 (Message)

{ Back to His leading.. }

ever wondered that with the impact and feeback of revelations that you have imparted on someone, are just humble reminders that we constantly need to hear?

but how about a switch-a-foo for a change?

really do not mind being at the receiving end, gleaming earnestly at a m.o.g or w.o.g (either than Jesus or a pastoral figure or your folks).. think the time for mentorship has came back again, and stronger.

it is a joy to witness the influence He has placed inside each and everyone of us, and with every word of what has been uttered is a humbling experience to re-hear what He has placed in you first, and then later coming out at the end of someone else's mouth and heart.

how He reaches to the magnitude to help inspire and create a deeper desire for Him is phenomenal -- and it is all Him. who else can reach that deep?

so would it honestly be mad if i ask for the best? show me Lord, show me Your way, lead me to Your will, and may we constantly glimpse on only one person, and that is the beauty of You.
