The JEHOVAH JIREH We Know

Declaring abundance in everyday living ... maybe we know or we don't know it ... but, GOD has given us HIS abundance blessings (i.e. wisdoms, strength, monetary terms, etc) to all HIS people ... I used to sit down and ponder ... what is GOD's abundance and how we know we are living in HIS abundance ... and, I felt we have began to conformed to the world so much that we began to measure it with the world's scale ... living in the measurements of the world does not reflect the abundance in HIS blessings.

 

Did we ever notice, every beginning of the month when we begin to calculate our expenses and at the end of it; there's bound to be a deficit ... and as you live through the month – you find in many unexpected ways, people come and bless you with this and that and even with money (this are GOD's blessings that most of the time we don't see) and by the end of the month there's a surplus ... and all these - it is because HE has provided, our JEHOVAH JIREH .. the one whom we have call GOD, LORD, JESUS and FATHER.

 

GOD has open my eyes and I thanked HIM for doing so – to see the abundance living HE has provided for me day after day ... for there's way too much chasing to do in the world (chasing in accordance to the measurements in the world) and there's never enough when we keep running after it ... you began to feel that you are so lack of everything while GOD's blessings is just right beside you.

 

Why have Jesus told the disciples not to bring their purse, bag or sandals? Because this is when HIS blessings will reflect.   

 

Luke 22:35

Then Jesus asked them, "When I sent you without purse, bag or sandals, did you lack anything?"

"Nothing," they answered.

 

Proclaim this abundance that HE has given because as children of GOD; we have no lack.

 

have a blessed day =)

CROSSing Fire

CROSSing Fire

 

Last Sunday, GOD showed me the fiery burning cross .. i believed GOD is urging us to be passionate for HIM .. to be on fire for HIM .. What has kept us from lighting our fire for HIM ? and, what have we got to loose to be on fire for HIM ?

 

Stepping out from our comfort zone is a biggest issue for most of us ... we live in the world that have everything made right for us ... in our own comfort .. moving on to somewhere or doing something which is out of the norm is moving out our comfort zone ...

 

Being passionate is not difficult and it starts from ourselves – we have to be the initiator  ... when we were making decision to be part of the family of CHRIST, to be HIS children ... i believed there is this eagerness inside of to know HIM more .. recalling the day when I said I want HIM to be part of my life .. i never had forgotten the joy that came to me on the day i say yes to HIM .. 

 

Setting on flame for HIM - let HIM be a part of your everyday's questions, everyday's blessings, everyday's sorrows, everyday's good morning, every night's goodnight, everything and all things you can think of ...

 

GOD started to burn for us first and for HIM to pass on the fire to us .. the FIRE which leads to HIS Kingdom .. to be the light to the people who needs HIM, who are still lost in their own maze and the light that guides the dark and unseen paths .. the Light has shine for us and now in us for us to light the darkness to the rest ..

 

Isaiah 9:2 (New Living Translation)

 ² The people who walk in darkness will see a great light. For those who live in a land of deep darkness, a light will shine.

not my RAINBOW ?

Psalm 77:11-12  
¹¹ I will remember the deeds of the LORD;
       yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago.
 
 ¹² I will meditate on all your works
       and consider all your mighty deeds.
 
It was a rainy day ... and it has been raining the entire afternoon ... then the rain began to drizzle and it was this time the sun came out .. it sets the sky to have a ochre blueish colour – in my mind there should be a rainbow (thanks to the science lessons in school) ... and it was then i peeped out of the window from my kitchen .. to my surprised .. i saw the traces of the rainbow forming .. there and then i told myself .. i gotta go out and catch a glimpse of it .. i open the front down and took my camera with me .. i did not know why i had such reaction today .. but the occurrence of that rainbow reminded me of GOD's promise ..

 

In Genesis 9:13-15, this was what GOD has promised Noah and the rainbow is a sign of the HIS covenant in the bible;

 

¹³ I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. ¹⁴ Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, ¹⁵ I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life.

 
A lot went through my head at that time ? my heart was filled with joy and content at that time .. however, i was also puzzled with the joy and contentment ... because i didn't make any request on that day .. i was searching through every inch of my brain mass but, NONE .. then, i realised then it was not about me .. but, how GOD has come through and show some others with HIS; "YES, I promise !!" and like how HE had the covenant between HIM with Noah ..  and, that was the joy and content i was feeling while looking at the rainbow at that time  =)  HIS 'YES & AMEN' to the people is the source of joy !!  
 
GOD has also reminded me something else – that's to put others first ... others' joy is your joy cause this is the same joy that our FATHER has brought to us ... find and count your blessings daily – as this are GOD's daily gesture of LOVE =)

Ephesians 5:21
²¹Honor Christ and put others first."
 

Philippians 2:4

⁴Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.
 

Mark 10:45 

⁴⁵For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

why are you running ?

why are we running ?

it was the Sunday service just passed when i had this thought ... during our prayer ... i was expecting GOD to speak to me ... and HE did ... not by HIS audible voice but, through a kid ... we were all encouraged to pray at the end of the service .. as usual, head bowed, eyes closed =) then all of a sudden a kid came running into the hall (i presumed that he was running into his hall to meet his parents)... he was running and then a loud thump, i guess he must have fell ... and then he got up and walk ...

there and then, that few seconds of commotion actually gave me this thought ...

are we running too fast in life ?

do we keep running and running and neglecting things that come your way that you are supposed to learn or know ?

are we running too too fast for the things that GOD wants us to achieved ?

this boy was definitely running to his parents (for us : running the destination that eventually lead us to our FATHER) and he fell ...

are we running this race for GOD (without GOD’s help) hastily?

running through every hurdles in life without taking a second look at it (the lessons GOD has for us to learn) ... running hastily through life overlooking things that come your way will caused us to fall into the trap of the world – that leads us to feeling emotionally and physically tired latter giving up on this race for HIS eventual purpose ...

what I have learnt from this boy; was to pick myself up again whenever i fall and walk .. taking steady steps ... learning lessons, taking tests that GOD has for us and to trust in HIM holding our hands walking and growing with HIM in this journey of life .. and at the end of the destination .. HE’ll be there with HIS arms wide open waiting for us ... WE ARE HOME =)

the 'why GOD have not answer me' syndrome

do you happened to come across this ... "GOD how come i've been praying so much and i pray to you everyday but you never answer ? did you hear me ? " i have to confessed this has always been my issue ... and it happens off and on my walk with HIM ...

alot of times in our Christian walk - we tend to have 'why GOD have not answer me' syndrome .. and when this is not dealt with greater issues may incur - you start to spend less time with GOD, then you backslide & you lost your faith ... eventually, u r out of the picture n not sync ...

but, what have been spoken in the bible that most of us have often missed and unaware (which applies to me too =P) :

in Proverbs 3:5-6 (New International Version)

"Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and He will make your paths straight."

and, in Isaiah 40:31 (New Living Translation)

"But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint."


GOD has told us to TRUST IN HIM - n what HE have promised in return ? 'He will make your paths straight (we will not fall / stumble) & we will find new strength (in our faith in HIM)' ... and these are from that 2 verses and there are more in the bible that tells us about HIS promises when we trust in HIM ...

recently, someone has shared with me about Proverb 3:5-6 and then he asked me how can i be sure that GOD will fulfilled HIS promised to us and whether we will still be around to see our parents' salvation ? i told him i don't know .. but, i will continue to hold on to that promise and continue to trust in the LORD and be persistently commiting my parents' salvation in prayers ... and, to have faith in GOD - he got me to think about his questions, and, i also asked GOD and my sister .. apart from what i thought, is there anymore to it ?

there was one night (it was the Saturday night that has just passed), me and sis was praying for my parents' salvation and my bro's going back to GOD ... i saw one part of the eagle's wing - and i remembered the song 'On eagles’ wings I will soar' (familiar, huh ? hehe) and thru that i recalled it's a verse in Isaiah ... i was frantically searching my bible during sunday service to see what GOD have to say about the wing .. i found it (paiseh, the 2 sisters sitting to the right and left of me also was helping me to find that verse, u know who u r) !! the 'Trust in the LORD' caught my eyes immediately ... n the 2 verses shared similarities ... deriving to what GOD have to say on my thoughts and that is to hold on to the promise and trust in HIM ...


continue to "trust in HIM for HIM to deliver this promise to us" =)

Choosing 'with' & 'without' ..

in one of the Krismas Kita celebration .. the whole beauty of the event was looking at people coming back to FATHER .. and to see people who so readily and eagerly serve hoping to touched others and bring them back to the path where it leads to our Abba Father .. praise GOD everything was made fantabulously just for HIM that few nights ..

on the same night too .. GOD reminded me about salvation .. HE showed me this during the altar call .. it's an image of the mountains and the plains .. but, this image was divided into two with cracked lines running in the middle of it .. on the left it was black & white and on the right, it's a coloured image ..

this image distinct the life with GOD and the life without GOD .. n the distinction is shown by the cracked line cutting the middle of the picture .. life without GOD has no meaning .. like the salt without its taste n our future is just an unseen path, life is just black & white without GOD ..

GOD want us to come to HIM .. to want HIM .. to enable HIM to paint the colours into our lives from HIS colour palette, to make the unseen path visible - with HIM shining the way and holding our hand to walk this path with HIM .. to bring taste our lives ..

i believed that this is not a message to all new believers but it's also a message for all to remind us who are already believers ... that live this life with GOD .. let HIM be a part of ur daily life .. to let HIM show u what HE has install for you !!

"I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

John 14:6

out of the strong came something sweet ...

I was reading Judges 13-14 this morning in the bus on the way to school .. it was about Samson .. it was this part that actually struck me .. Samson threw a riddle to the Philistines during the 7 days of his wedding celebration n whoever who solved the riddle will be given 30 fine linen robes and 30 sets of festive clothings .. n if the riddle could not be solved, the Philistines will have to do otherwise ..

Judges 14:5-6
As Samson and his parents were going down to Timnah, a young lion suddenly attacked Samson near the vineyards of Timnah. At that moment the Spirit of the Lord came powerfully upon him, and he ripped the lion's jaws apart with his bare hands.

Judges 14:8-9
Later, when he returned to Timnah for the wedding, he turned off the path to look at the carcass of the lion. And he found that a swarm of bees had made some honey in the carcass. He scooped some of the honey into his hands and ate it along the way.

The riddle (Judges 14:14) derived from his experience :

"Out of the one who eats came something to eat;
out of the strong came something sweet."

Judges14:18
So before sunset of the seventh day, the men of the town came to Samson with their answer:

"What is sweeter than honey?
What is stronger than a lion?"

This has reminded me how GOD has been to us ... GOD ALMIGHTY is indeed one supernatural being with so much strong (which is even stronger than the lion) infinite points in HIM - that's what make us GOD fearing ... but, on the strong side of HIM .. let's be reminded also that our GOD has also HIS soft and gentle side in which in this walk with HIM; we have experienced the sweetest things that HE has done for us and is doing for us and it's even sweeter than honey ..

dwell in HIS sweetness today ...
