first time praying for my granny


On the 16th oct, while am getting ready for work, i sensed very strongly that I should pray for my granny. As it seems her condition has not be very stable. She has been throwing tantrum, and been quite bad recently.
This has always in me that, i should pray and encourage her with the goodness of our Lord Jesus Christ. but, somehow.. am not doing so, perhaps, the reason is that am not confident enough, have been procrastinating to pray with her.. well.. anyway, i did .. FINALLY!

This is my very first time, praying for her in hokkien, even i can speak pretty well, but where come to praying, am just lost my words, i dunno how. I laid my hands on her.. all i felt during praying was that, she is confused, she is struggling and she is fearful.

In that one minute of prayer, i pray for Lord Jesus to bring His peace to her, to bring her the joy, to remove the pain. We all know only the Lord knows what she is going through, and YES. . only He truly understand, and nobody else will.
I am constantly remind myself to show her the love from God, to be patience with her, even though, some times it maybe very hard to do so..
and yes.. am learning ..

Growing old can be scary, but i pray that oh Lord, You will be my Lord of my life, hold my hands and never let me go ...

God can use you

The next time you feel like GOD can't use you, just remember...

Noah was a drunk
Abraham was too old
Isaac was a daydreamer
Jacob was a liar
Leah was ugly
Joseph was abused
Moses had a stuttering problem
Gideon was afraid Samson had long hair and was a womanizer
Jeremiah and Timothy were too young
David had an affair and was a murderer
Elijah was suicidal Isaiah preached naked
Jonah ran from God
Naomi was a widow
Job went bankrupt
Peter denied Christ
The Disciples fell asleep while praying
Martha worried about everything
The Samaritan woman was divorced, more than once
Zaccheus was too small Paul was too religious
Timothy had an ulcer AND Lazarus was dead!
Most Importantly, don't forget;

Jesus Helped them all!

Now! NO more excuses!
God can use you to your full potential.
Besides you aren't the message, you are just the messenger.

In the Circle of God's love, God is waiting to use your full potential.

p.s. - i like this "He who dies with the most toys ~ is still dead! " this is sooo soo true!

I need discernment

I need discernment.
I need wisdom. I need, and I need !!!

I am so tired of hearing lies, simply don't understand why there are such people in the world, enjoying lying .... and worst ~ using God's name in vain.

As what the Bible says .. we have to be as wise as serpents .. as gentle as doves ..

“Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves." ~ Matthew 10:16

sometimes, i just dunno how .. :(

I feel sad that why are there some people living in an imaginary life, telling stories that are not true.. perhaps they are just feeling insecurity, or maybe they simply love of lying!

Am really have no idea why they behave this way, why can't they face the truth, face the reality and why must they keep on deceiving others and deceiving themselves.

"Thou shalt not lie" this is what God has commanded us as His children to follow. Indeed, this is a command to set us FREE ..

I know the Lord is teaching me something here, which have been a hard lesson for me.. He has been allowing situations to happen, so many times, and I have never seem to pass the test..


Oh LORD, help me, teach me, guide me.. I need Your wisdom.. oh Lord Jesus .. I also pray for all those who sins against You, to repent and sin not.. as we know Lord, no matter who and what we are, You still love us.. the same.. thank You for Your love, grace and mercy ... Amen





The Fellowship Of The Unashamed

just wanna share ....

I am a part of the fellowship of the unashamed.
I have the Holy Spirit Power. The dead has been cast.
I have stepped over the line.
The decision has been made.
I am a disciple of Jesus Christ.
I won't look back, let up, slow down, back away, or be still.
My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, and my future is secure.

I am finished and done with low living, sight walking, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tame visions, mundane talking, chintzy giving, and dwarfed goals. I no longer need preeminence, prosperity, position, promotions, plaudits, or popularity. I don't have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised, regarded, or rewarded.

I now live by presence, learn by faith, love by patience, lift by prayer, and labor by power.
My pace is set, my gait is fast, my goal is Heaven, my road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions few, my Guide is reliable, my mission is clear.

I cannot be bought, compromised, deterred, lured away, turned back, diluted, or delayed.
I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of adversity, negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity, or meander in the maze of mediocrity.

I won't give up, back up, let up, or shut up until I've preached up, prayed up, paid up, stored up, and stayed up for the cause of Christ.

I am a disciple of Jesus Christ.

I must go until He returns, give until I drop, preach until all know, and work until He comes.
And when He comes to get His own, He will have no problem recognizing me. My colors will be clear for "I am not ashamed of the Gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes.." (Romans 1:16)
