Choices

We need to make our choice and decision wisely because we live the consequence of the choice and decision we made. What is the basis of the choice and decision we make? Based on situation & circumstances or on emotions such as fear OR the lies of the devil OR the Hands of God? Dr A.R. Bernard: - Before an information can sink in, we need to listen to it 7 times. - 12 times of encourage before a negative remark can be erased from our memory. What does it mean to me? - Meditate the Word 7 times a day or 7 hours / Meditate on it 7 days a week - Only you can encourage yourself with the kind of thoughts you entertain. You can never depend on others. Ultimately, you decide whether to allow others to discourage you and allow God to encourage you. Knowledge translates to Authority Learning how to navigate in this world as a follower of Christ is still a lifestyle I've yet to grasp. To gain approval, often I will do as the world does. It's a foolish choice and eat of the consequence...

Building Relationships

I thank God for the many friends whom He has placed in my life. I thank God for the friends who has played a role in my life, be it as a villain or as angel.

Perhaps it's my expectations and also my insecurity. Resistance and stickiness puts me off. Resistance, to me, is a sign of not trusting. Then the person can forget about me sharing as well. (Pride you say, whatever..) Stickiness, I am sorry, we are mature adults, stop behaving like a kid. We have our own life! So, I am an individualistic. I ...

Thoughts

A grateful heart filled with thanksgiving - With life's business and strife, do we still remember to have a heart of gratitude? Always remembering others - In this competitive & selfish society, do we still spare a thought for those around us? A broader view of life - Staying positive in a negative world. We all need to have a more positive outlook in life. Dreams of young - The dreams of young, are they just fleeting moments or are they for real? Are they just fantasies equivalent to building castles in the air? Bubbles that burst? Crushed spirit - Many a times, giving ourselves will bring only heartaches. How true can this statement be? In all things, there is only ONE reason why there are often uncertainties in life: VOID . There's a void, yearning for a deeper call, a deeper sense of importance. Nothing is new under the sun or in heaven, for all things are vanity. When you thought that you are the first, you are only the improvised. People always want to feel they ...

Marketplace Miracles - Every Day!

Miracles, Miracles, are they that afar? Miracle is for every day in the marketplace. Just like God's presence is with you every single day without cease. What makes or motivates miracles then? Faith. 1. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. 2. Faith comes with confession of the Word of God. 3. Faith comes when you know YOU are part of God's plan for miracles. 4. Faith comes when you are filled with the rivers of Living Water. A dry land can never produce "fishes", only an ocean. With faith, miracles will come into your life -work place, family, relationships, friendships...
