Running Forward

Luke 17:32
Remember Lot's wife!

Genesis 19
v12: Then the angels said to Lot, "Do you have anyone else here: a son-in-law, your sons and daughters, or anyone else in the city who belongs to you? Get them out of this place,
v13: for we are about to destroy this place because the outcry against its people is great before the Lord, and the Lord has sent us to destroy it."
v24-26: Then the Lord rained burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah from the Lord out of the sky. He overthrew these cities, the entire plain, all the inhabitants of the cities, and whatever grew on the ground. But his wife looked back and became a pillar of salt.

Life in Christ is Victorious
- Don't let the past hinder your future in 2006 and the years to come!
Don't look back to:
1. old sins that have been forgiven
Forgive yourself as God has forgiven you -- Guilt will destroy & take away your future.
1 John 1:7-9
v7: But if we walk in the light as He Himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.
v8: If we say, "We have no sin," we are deceiving ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
v9: If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Walk in the light -- fellowship with Jesus, Cg members, family, friends, etc.
Isaiah 43:25
"It is I who sweep away your transgressions for My own sake and remember your sins no more.
Psalms 103:12
As far as the east is from the west,so far has He removedour transgressions from us.
2. old defeats that will get you down
If you have never failed, you have not attempted anything in life.
-- at least try & put in effort
-- learn to lean on God
Psalms 37:23-24
v23: A man's steps are established by the Lord,and He takes pleasure in his way.
v24: Though he falls, he will not be overwhelmed,because the Lord holds his hand.
-- If you don't move, God won't move.
-- "Though he falls" -> God knows that with our own strength, we will fall.
3. old conflicts that make you bitter
Imperfect people => imperfect relationship
Don't: a. nurse / b. curse / c. rehearse the hurts -- lift it up to God & He will disperse the hurts.
Proverbs 17:9
Whoever conceals an offense promotes love, but whoever gossips about it separates friends.
-- Only the devil will remind/repeat the mistakes or old wounds.
God is always positive and always has more faith than you have for yourself!
-- God will turn every tombstone to a new stepping stone!
Forgiveness is an attribute of the strong.
-- Key to forgiveness -> ability to FORGET.
Genesis 41:51
Joseph named the firstborn Manasseh, meaning, "God has made me forget all my hardship in my father's house."
Manasseh = making forgetful
God will make you forget all the hurts & afflictions -- Manasseh is a gift, ask from the Lord.
4. old victories and think you have arrived
There is always more in the kingdom of God.
Philippians 3:13
Brothers, I do not consider myself to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: forgetting what is behind and reaching forward to what is,
Saddest Statement: Once / Before / In the past, I have done something for God.
God is a God of today!
Ecclesiastes 7:8
The end of a matter is better than its beginning;a patient spirit is better than a proud spirit.

Mixed Emotions

Emotional? Disappointment? Resentment? A heavy heart. This is a year of good news for many of my single friends even celebrities who were single for a long time. Met up with a friend whom I hardly met since Covid. Today we met up and she introduced her boyfriend. Happy for her though I was surprised. The next bomb was she is getting married in November. Definitely happy for her, but I felt this extreme loneliness and again, likes an unwanted or neglected child. I admit that I am not fervent in praying in this area of my life nor any areas of my life. Except an occasionally whisper to express how I feel, my concerns about work or my mum. Is my miracle on my way or am I damned to singlehood? Am I truly enjoying my freedom or am I just trying to survive through. There is a sense of deep sadness but there are no tears. 1I once experienced in what I thought was a miracle, like finally, God You remember me. I was truly happy and blissful but I probably blew everything away in the m...

Update for Q1 2018

It has been a journey since beginning of this year. In fact, I thank God for the healing sessions end of 2017 before Sep. I have been going for healing sessions with cornerstone and have been greatly ministered to. Release of the pressures and stress of life since my youth when I had to near all the brunt of my father and take up the responsibilities of my mum's inability to be a housewife. The loneliness and rejection that I had to go through during the last trimester of my mum's pregnancy while staying with my god grandma. It was a great relief and deliverance and reassurance of His unconditional love for me. He will never leave me nor forsake me. Since then I felt so much lighter about myself and about life. The oppression and your was broken off from me. Now I felt that things are progressing. I started to join a ministry - Greeters - and have been involved for the past 2 weeks. My first start was back at Jurong west. For the past month, quite unbelievably, I ha...

27th Jan: Holocaust Memorial Day

Image
Source: http://www.israelnewsagency.com/yadvashemholocaustisraelnew88480313.html Source:photos/images/Pol-jew2.jpg Sunday marks the day for International Holocaust Memorial Day. Personally having visited the Holocause Museum (Yad Vashem) in Israel, it is definitely the saddest and darkest period for the Jews. Anti-semitism is indeed a scary belief and practice which is demonic, that can only explain the degree of cruelty that no mankind can ever imagine. Who would tear apart an infant who is less than a year old? Who exterminate an entire nation of Jews? Why is that only the chosen nation suffers such violence? This is no work of the human mind and act except for the devil. May Israel be greatly blessed and be a light that shines forth so brightly. They have proved themselves to arise and soar above the darkest history. I guess probably because their experience with Holocaust, they are able to better protect themselves, having excellent security measures and military advancements. G...
