Who is the man full of knowledge?
Who is the man full of wisdom?
Who possess the knowledge and wisdom outright?
Is the professor the most knowledgeable and wise?
Is the politician the most knowledgeable and wise?
Is the scientist the most knowledgeable and wise？
Is the philosopher the most knowledgeable and wise?
Is the doctor the most knowledgeable and wise?
Is the lawyer the most knowledgeable and wise?
Is the teacher the most knowledgeable and wise?
Is the accountant the most knowledgeable and wise?
Is the architectural the most knowledgeable and wise?
Who dare to regard themselves as the wisest men in the world?
Is possessing certificate and higher education making a person smart and wise?
Why people put in their life time in pursuing the certificate and the worldly wisdom that last only for this life?
Why we are wise only in our own eyes ?
Why we are so foolish and dump?
Why won’t we seek our Maker for the perfect knowledge and wisdom?
Why don’t we come humbly before our GOD to ask Him for HIS perfect knowledge and wisdom in our daily lives?
Don’t GOD use His knowledge and wisdom create heaven and earth and those which live in it?
Don’t men knowledge and wisdom also come from GOD alone?
Then why don’t we ask HIM to provide us with the knowledge and wisdom to live our every day lives?
Why we keep pursing something that will not last？
Does God judge our knowledge and wisdom based on a certificate and higher education?
Why we value what GOD will regard as sh[i!1l]t?
Why don’t we come humbly before GOD to claim the claim the knowledge and wisdom that come only from Him alone?
One day we will be in our heavenly home.
We will meet our GOD there.
Why don’t we value what HE value?
Why we allow the worldly scale to scale us down?
Don’t we feel tired and sick about it?
What is this world mean to us?
The bible says one day this earth will pass away and only GOD’s word will remain forever.
Why we look down on the knowledge and wisdom that come from GOD?
Why we value other books and teaching more imprtant than GOD’s teaching and value?
Besides GOD, who else dare to regard himself/herself as wise?
Besides GOD, who else dare to boast about the knowledge and wisdom once he/she possesses?
Besides GOD, who else possesses the perfect knowledge and wisdom?
Those who come humbly to GOD to seek HIS knowledge and wisdom is the wisest one.
Only GOD possesses the answer for every difficulty and problem.
Let’s turn to GOD.
Let’s draw ourselves to GOD- our Creator, for the knowledge and wisdom.
Let’s besiege ourselves with GOD’s knowledge and wisdom.
Let’s bestow ourselves to learn HIS knowledge and wisdom little by little.
Let’s grow,and grow and keep growing in the knowledge and wisdom of GOD.
All the praise and glory be GOD for ever and ever.
Amen

GOD's will

I was unable to sleep on thursday. The weahther was a bit hot. My mind is so active that it kept thinking about GOD . Suddently a word GOd's wild pop out from my mind. What is GOD's will? Is GOD's will for all of us believe is to live a trouble free life, free from illness, free from pain, having plenty food and drink to feed our stomoch, having successful career, having these, having that etc.What is truely GOD's will?
If someone being caught and soon he will execute for his faith in GOD is not in GOD's will that we will ask GOD to spare His life? I am thinking about that how to pray for a person who are facing such situation. I don't know about the person. I just got this text from a friend ask for a prayer from christians. I did pray for the person.
On that sleepless night, i think why i normally pray to ask god to release him from the situation that he is facing. Is that GOD's will for this person? May be the person is willing to say to GOD like what JESUS did before HE was hang on the cross. (Luke22:41-42)HE (JESUS) withdrew about a stone's throw beyong them, knelt down and prayed," Father, if you are willing, Take this cup from me; yet not my will, but Yours be done." Wow... that is amazing prayer that JESUS has made, He is willing to do GOD's will even to the point to endure the pain of hanging on the cross. It is really amazing respond. How many of us can really make this kind of prayer. I think it is not easy for us to pray this way. When people get sick, we normally pray to GOD for healing. Why cant we pray that 'If god is willing He will lend the healing and if HE is not, let the person have the strenght to endure the pain and and sustain he/she to get through this even to the point of death.' The ultimate purpose that we are living and to death is to glorify GOD's name.
What do GOD's will mean to us? Are we seeking to let GOD receive the glory from our lives. In fact, the glory is always HIS forever and ever. May HIS name be praise through out the world. May all the people see how awesome and how good our GOD is and praise HIM. He is worthy. HE is the desire of my soul.

My grandmum is not feeling well for a few day with her stomoch but she was relundant to see doctor. I have prayed for her that GOD will bring the healing to her. I have asked her to see doctor on tuesday, she agreed with me. But when the time came, she relundant to do as what she promised. I don't have the choice but to pray to GOD to open a way. I prayed to GOD that He will do a miracle that my uncle will visit us today and then bring my grandmum to see doctor. After a while, my uncle appeared at our house. He brought my grandmum to see doctor.
Wow... God is awesome. He answer my prayer. He did that miracle. I wonde whether it can be regarded as miracle. My uncle use to visit us once a week. But before he come, he will call us up normally. We didnt expect that he is here today. I rather to regard that GOD has answered my prayer. I don't think it is a coincident. I thank GOD that He answer my prayer. I had wrote it down in case i forgot about what HE has done today. hahaha... I am glad that i have such a great good GOD. I will keep praying for my grandmum's salvation although i am not sure how to share with her. God loves her so surely He will answer my prayer. hahahaha.... i hope she will spend her eternity with god and me in heaven. That will be cool when i see all my friends in heaven. But i still have many friends not yet come to GOD. Ohhh... keep praying and ask GOD to teach me how to share good news with them. Hope God will use me mighty for his kingdom

My friend called me on saturday evening because his friend's car broke down near johor bahru custome. we went there with other 2 friends from the same church together. We try several ways and the car engine still not function. We ended up need to push the car. But i found it to be fun. hahaha.. i enjoy doing it with a bunch of friends.
God lets some thing happen in our lives for good purpose. Sometime He interrupt our every day plan to remind us about Himself. He use problems and difficulties to train us up. He will bring us slow down when we run too fast. He will do every thing for good.HE is with us every moment, every season, every day, every minutes, every second. It is great to have GOD's accompanionship and also the accompanionship with other brothers and sisters in CHRIST.
Even though thing dont work in perfect way, we learn to appreciate the imperfect and the fun being together and work things out.
God loves us and He loves churches
HE always is
hahaha

Life is all about JESUS

What is life all about? Ahh...my life is all about JESUS. My life it to have intimate relationship with Him. To know His will for me and to live for Him. I long to have deeper walk with Him and i am not satisfied with the present situation and my walk with Him. I know great peace and joy come when we build up a personal strong relationship with him. To love Him and to worship truely from the bottom of our heart, from a sincere and pure heart. That's what i want to do. To live is JESUS. Not easy huh... But practice make progress. Practice till we final return to Him. I long to hear He said to me that 'well done, '.
I am reading a book which title is 'The Purpose Driven Life'. The author of this book is Rick Warreb. This book helps me to find out the root of the problems that i encounter in my life. The book help me to find in what areas i am not doing good and weak.
We always complain and grumbling when the things we did turn out to be in the way we are not expected.When the efforts we put-in in doing what is good and it seems go vain.We trend to feel angry, mad, distress, disappointed, vulnerable, grieve etc, until a stage that we felt like to give up and walk away and not to bother. Why we feel this way? It is because we draw our focus away from God for every good deeds we do. When we based on what we see, we often feel uneasy and awful when none seems to appreciate what we did. I have been through that stage and i am learning about what truth.I want to focus on GOD in everything I do. I know GOD will never ignore our every little effort in doing good and His will. He takes a record for it. He pay attention to the intention and the motive we do it.He will reward when He return. I find the strength and courage to what is right despite of the possible result and outcome. I find less grumbling and less angry when i am doing all these for GOD. He promises He see and He will reward. I am far from perfect. But to do everything and to live our everyday as it is for GOD brings great joy to GOD. God is with us even when we ignore His existance. He is right beside us even we cannot see.He hears our cries. He hears our grieve. When no one care, there is always GOD. He always care. He is always there with us. He know our anxieties. He know the deepest desire of our heart. He will satisfy the deepest belongings and desires of our heart when we invite Him for intimate friendship and fellowship with HIM. It is not an easy lesson. But it worth trying and it worth our life to learn these lesson. I am learning about this truth. GOD please help me up.
Lord, I longs for the relationship that David, Jacob,Abraham and Paul had with You. I want to find the greatest joy in this life and the only way to have such joy can only find when i go deeper in my friendship and fellowship with You.It is not easy but keep me stay alert in this area. Nothing is important compare to You. Everything is all about You. I loves God because He unmeasurable love for me. I am so dear to Him that He send JESUS to die on my behalf. He is the reason i live. I want to learn and practice all my life. Help me! Help me to love You more. Help me in my walk with You. Hide me in You. I want to put a smile on Your face. To see You smile is a lot better than to see Your wrath. Who can stand for Your wrath. I loves JESUS. JESUS loves me. It is worthy to have HIS love, HIS presence, HIS friendship, His Fellowship, HIS accompanionship for this life to the life to come. I miss You, Lord. I am looking foward of Your coming. Your wills for me be done that's what i long for. hahaha... cool to have GOD!!!!

are we professor in apologizing?

Have you ever feel that no matter ho hard you confess about your sin, but you still feel condemn? have you ever felt that your past seem to holding you back and never let you go? Have u ever feel that even though you have confess but still feel that God is so far away from you? Have you ever have a feeling that God had left you? I do feel that way. I felt vulnerable and miserable when I could not sense the presence of God.
I have started reading a book and its title is " Lord, I Want to Be Whole". The author is Stormie Omartian. In her book, found verses which i feel like to share and also as a reminder to myself. It is as below:
" It's possible to confess without really ever conceding any fault at all. In fact, we can become simply good at apologizing with no intent of being any other way. "
Sometimes we thought we have given God 100% to His sovereign right to take control of out lives. But the fact is we do hold back something from God. We do love GOD, but we failed to follow him wholeheartedly by submit ourselves to do what He wants us to do. But God is still very gracious to us. He is still very patient with us. He still guide us and lead us and never give up on us. wahh... we are just like the stiff neck israel. We are not a better person as we think we are. Even we are saved by the blood of the Lamb, but the sinful nature still working in us. We are still very rebellious. Like what Paul has written in book of Romans 7:19 " For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do I do- this i keep doing".
If our lives are without God, our lives are without hope and meaning. Apart from God, we are meaningless. Thanks God he still loves us. He still never forsake us. He still lead us patiently. He still guide us. He still forgives us our every day sin. He so gracious to us. Lord, help us to be whole. Lord, inspire us to follow u your wholeheartedly without turning back. Teach us your way. Mould us and shape us till be are getting more and more like JESUS CHRIST. Everyday is anew. Every day is a progress of improvement in our walk with YOU.Forgive us our past sin and set us free. Please help us in our everyday lives. In JESUS precious name, Amen.

Romans 8:37-39
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to seperate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
It is amazing that we cannot hide ourselves from God. It is really amazing that God is with us in our every day, every hours and every single minutes. God is with us when are laughing. God is with us when we are greiving. God is with us when we are suffering. God is with us when we succeed. God is with us when we have failed. God is with us in every season and moment in our life. God is with us.
Thank you Lord that u never let us be alone in this world. Whenever people despise or abandon us, God is with us. God is with us. Hallelujah....Awesome and amazing.... i will leap for joy for having GOD with me all of my day....

Romans 6:16
Don't you know that when you offer yourselves to someone to obey him as slaves, you are slaves to the one whom you obey- whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obidience, which lead to righteousness?
How much time we spend time we spend in making money, on our work and other activities? How much time do we spend for GOD?
Are you a slave of work?
Are you a slave of money?
Are you a slave of ..... ( which u can name anything that your heart are pursuing)?
Oh... God please help up to live an upright life which please to You. Please forgive for us if our heart are longing something else more than You. Please give us wisdom to live our everyday lives. Please be our guard. Please be with us every single day, every single hours, every single minute and every single second. May we live our lives fully just for You our Savior and our heavenly Father. Thank you for always so patient with everyone of us. Thank you LORD. Renew us and refresh our walk with You. Keep us safe always with You.
God bless

Romans 6:11-13
In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. Do not offer the parts of your body to sin, as a instruments of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God, as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer the parts of your body to him as instruments of righteousness.
What are sin? Do you think u are better person than anyone else whom u think that they sin severely than you? Haha... sin is any standards that fall short of God's standards, for examples sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, fractions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like.
Romans 6:16
Don't you know that when you offer yourselves to someone to obey him as slaves, you are slaves to the one whom you obey- whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obidience, which lead to righteousness?
Don't every fool ourselves to think that we are a better person compare to someone else. We are all sinner. We all need to repent. We all need to turn from our wickedness to GOD for his forgiveness and pardon.
What are the goodnesses to turn from our wicked lives to GOD and be God's slave? We will live forever with GOD in His kingdom. Romans 6:23 " for the wages of sin is death, but the gift of GOD is eternal life in Christ Jesus our LORD". Let's do what are right. Let's us rejoice that we have been set free by GOD from being a slave of sin.
My GOD is my life and salvation. Praise His holy name. Praise Him.
God bless u all

Amazing faith

Romans 5:20-21
Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strenghtened in his faith and gave glory to God, being fully pursuaded that God had power to do what he had promised.
It is really an amazing faith that Abraham had for GOD to fulfill His promise. He is able to believe even though the future is unforeseeable. I admire his faith.
We trend to lose our faith when nothing has change and everything is just quiet. We become doubtful when God delay in asnwering our prayer. We become very impatient. We are hardly to stand still when things are unclear.
May God help us to know that He is GOD. May God help us to know that He is still in charge for our everyday lives. May God teach us how to cast our anxiety, worries and fear on Him. May God help us to be patient and wait for His perfect timing. May God be my everyday helper. May God's peace, joy, love, strength and courage are with us everyday. God hear us. God know our needs. God cares. God bless
