{ Placed in His worth }

He saw the unworthy worthy to be died for.

no more clothe in rags but riches of honour and glory.

the price on us was paid at the absolute highest,

in a form of blood that is perfect and sinless.

the body belonged to a King of heaven,

willing to wear a crown of thorns than gold,

never backing down with every whip lashed,

all stripes crying out "this, is, for, you",

the definition of love was redefined, 

the enemy's plans are now crushed forever,

no longer bound by the power of darkness,

but now we are righteous in the Son.

for royalty saw worth in sinners,

how much more now that He gave us His very own?

{ Worship for who He is. }

[Extract from “Momentum”, Chapter by Eric Johnson]

From a young age, David was often found singing to God in pure worship and adoration when no one was looking. He was a true worshiper before he ever became known. As we look at his life, we can see his pure passion for worship. David was absolutely caught up more by who God is than by what God does.

Any time we are more consumed by what God does than who he is, we begin to miss the point of what He does. The act of worship is n ever about us and what He does for us. It’s all about who He is. If we begin to approach the act of worship because of what He does, we than fall into the trap of trying to manipulate Him to do what we want with our worship.

There is nothing wrong with admiring what God does. In fact, we are instructed to be expert stewards of what God does and to always remember His goodness and works. So desiring what He does is not an issue. But it can become an issue when admiring what He does doesn’t lead us to worship who He is.

It’s important that our pursuit of supernatural signs and wonder leads us to the destination of who God is. So when we worship God in spirit and in truth, it is beautiful and perfect.

David’s life of worship created in him a heart that was after God, and God loved it. Pure and perfect worship is selfless. It has no agenda, no strings attached, no motive – just a desire to give Him what we have to give.

"Your grace is enough, more than I need."

indeed, Your grace is enough for me.

for You did not give up at the cross,

we shall do so likewise in this journey You have called and equipped us for.

"Jesus does not just give enough, He gives more than enough."

- Ps. Dan

am amazed once again.
where we find lack, there you find abundance.

how not to lift Your name high?
not because of Your goodness, but because of Your very being itself.

this is where we will worship You here,
at Your very feet.

{ De-junk & Re-prioritize Pt. 2 }

what an end of to march -- spend a day worth of cleaning up years of threads and accessories that were once prized and treasured. all those seasonal trends that are on junked to the no and maybe pile. should have listened to mum when she advised to only do classics and not impulses. that is definitely a lesson heard but now convicted? never too late i say.

wells it is also time to say goodbye to other things as well. no point harping on the good times of the past, but am looking forward to better ones as He is definitely always and perfectly faithful that way. "best of the very best" as mum always boldly and lovingly declares.

letting go also inc. all bad and ugly moments that may still linger like an unwanted guest -- coming and going as it pleases. God was with me then, and likewise now. let the hunting end and those doors to close, permanently. no. more. (smiles)

emptying everything that was once dear and signifiant -- places, bondage, deep hurts, soft spots and people. all those years were of a seasonal joy and purpose. everything had to happen then, else there will not be a now such as this one. (smiles again)

so, it is time to completely cut all ties. "freedom reigns in place." - k.walker (jesus culture)

going to just allow Your spirit, grace and mercy to freely fall on my face.
healing rain in pouring down, and i am no longer afraid.

nothing is going to hold me back now.

"Lord, use me like never before. have Your way.
keep stirring up in our hearts with great passion for Your name.
it is time to show the world what it is yet to see and experience.
we ask for daily and fresh encounters - at home, church, ministry, work and beyond the four walls."

{ When you're unsure of your calling, and He says.. }

{ At The Foot of the Cross - cover by Arden Cho }

At the foot of the cross

where grace and sufferning meet

You have shown me Your love

through the judgement You received

And You won my heart

Yes You've won my heart

Now I can

Trade these ashes in for beauty

and wear forgiveness like a crown

Coming to kiss the feet of mercy

I lay every burden down

At the foot of the cross

where I am made complete

You have given me life

through the death You bore for me

Lyrics by K. Scott

{ All for love & Made righteous. }

All for Love by Hillsong

"For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us,

that we might become the righteousness of God in Him."

- 2 Corinthians 5:21 (NJK)

/////

let's live in the righteous robes that He has graciously placed on us.
the sinless has saved the sinner.
yup, that is grace personified and i cannot help but be amazed again and again.

{ Isn't She Lovely - Cover by Clara C & Jayesslee }

crazy mad harmony going on in here.

{ Will the real Christian, please walk it out? }

heard a comment that i have encountered for years,
"he/she did that and he/she calls himself/herself a "Christian"?
no wonder people say Christians are the most hypocrites."

is anyone tired of hearing people talk and not walk?

the amen's only go as far as that particular "anointed" moment, and when push comes to shove,
it is tucked behind and unwilling to unmask itself.

is so easy of one to talk about love and grace, but how about showing it?
make it not just a knowledge but an experience to others out there.

Jesus did not need to prove Himself as the King.

He lived and not acted as one despite of the many false accusations and unbelief of His royal identity.
He came as flesh to go through every single bit of human emotions and temptations,
 to show us that all impossibilities are actually possibilities for our everyday life.

Jesus told us He loved us by showing it.
without much talk, He walked it out and that was what amazed people around Him.
when grace is shown through the heart and not just the mouth, transformation soon appears.

this topic has been circulating in the world for far too long.
the added lies has got to be put to and end.
the world has to see who Jesus truly is, and our own lack of self righteous and holy art thou manners is not helping.

you think your own good deeds can save you?
without Him, we are simply nothing.

like He shown me the other time, His words are not just life-jackets that helps us to keep afloat,
they actually hold power and the only way out is by believing it rightly, so we can do so likewise.

being a living testimony is by not reacting how the norm would go, but going against all worldly customs.
yes we are in here, but of here.

remember where our roots and true identity lies -- it of the King and His kingdom.
temporal is not for the Christian life but more so being set forth by eternity.

it is time for the real Christian, sons and daughters of the Most High, to walk it out.
the best part of it all, we are never alone, He is right here.

ps: the battle always belongs to The Lord.
for He has not only better weaponry, but solutions and answers that leaves everyone stunned with His glory.
He will only give weight to which He sees fit.

{ Love with action & truth. }

and it started first at the cross.

love sacrificed, love given, love won.

{ Let Your light shine! }

{ No Limits (Enlarge My Territory) by Israel & New Breed }

{ Made for more! }

"Your lot in life is to excel. It's to make a difference in this world.

Take a stand and say, "I will not settle where I am.

I was made fore more!"

- J. Osteen

{ Unmerited favor & nothing earned. }

"I could not sleep last night because God is too good." - Mum

for one to taste such goodness, one is incredibly satisfied and blown away by how much He is willing to go above and beyond for us. for He did His utter most at the cross, pouring out His entire grace and love and went all out, goes to show His heart that is constantly for us. never for a second we are not on His mind as every single thought of His concerns and pertains to our very being.

"What matters to you, matters to Him." - Bill Johnson

how not be transformed? how not be moved? how not willed to His?

as written in JP's destined to reign with dad's kind reminder, is that favor only comes from Him. once we input a hint of effort on our end, is simply and no longer considered to it's fullest meaning.
for Grace came and died on the cross without the help and assistance of any of us, we shall also receive it likewise. it is called amazing for a reason, and that's Jesus.
