God Is Wrong, I AM RIGHT!
God is wrong, and I am right otherwise I couldn't find myself another reason why I don't listen to Him.
If God is right and I am wrong then I also couldn't find myself another reason why I should not be obedient.
Apparently, there are no two ways about it. Either He is right and we obey or He is wrong and we disobey.
What could be the reason for our rejection for His truth. Honestly, I couldn't find a more logical and convincing reason besides our mind being corrupted by lies and deception. We love lies and deception or aptly love being seduced, charmed and bewitched by it.
We attract danger when we allow our minds to be the devil's playground.
Eve sinned at the Garden of Eden because she took in every lie the serpent spoke to her. She enjoyed the lie of the serpent when it told her that she could be equal to God, Father and Creator of heaven and earth, knowing good and evil.
Since then, the serpent's lies sank in and we have always believed we are god and we are right with our decisions, thus our constant disobedience.
Perhaps it's time to allow Galatian 2:20 to alter our mindset of what we really are. My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ my Saviour now lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of the living God, who loved me and gave his life for me. Maybe it's time to die to the old life so that Christ can live the new life in us.
God no longer trust us. The Father only trust His Son, our Saviour Jesus. Unless the Spirit of Christ lives in us and identify us to the Father on the last day, we are doomed!
Maybe it's time to examine our faith. Do you still think we are right with our every decisions or the Father is right all the time?
If God, our Father is right, then it's time to repent and be obedient. Our heavenly Father is full of grace and mercy in His unfailing love; He is filled with compassion to forgive your every wrong committed against Him.
" Jesus Christ, my Lord and my God, you are right and I am wrong. I am sorry! Forgive me! "
Jesus Is The Answer
To my best friend who shared about his predicament with life.
I am sorry that I could not offer any form of assistance to your dilemma other than to refer you to the Saviour. Matters pertaining your distress can only be directed to Jesus who alone is the answer.
People who are drug addicts, sex addicts, gamblers, compulsive liars, egoist, greedy, selfish, are people who are already trapped by evil. These people live in ignorance of God, the Father who created them. They are beyond human help but within God's help. We can only commit these people to Jesus to help them.
I have taken quite a number of such people under my care. Honestly its more than just an uphill task caring and loving such people. Without Jesus, its in fact totally impossible to bring these people back to their normal senses.
Sadly, these people are already victims of the devil's lies and deception. So what do we do when we are caught in these circumstances? Sit back and wait for God to take action! Pray that the consequences meted on them is not too harsh.
These people live in defiance of people who truly loved them. One word of advice is to stay a distance from them, ministering and approaching them with subtlety because if you don't, these people ended up hating you more. Like I mentioned earlier, your only alternative is to surrender them to Jesus who created them. Pray for them without giving up!
One obvious symptom of these people is they are guilty and conscious of their actions and will tell lies to cover their guilt. They construct and weave their lies skillfully, believing that no one is suspicious of them. They are capable of providing excellent excuses and reasons and stories.
Truthfully, we are helpless and hopeless when confronted by such dilemma. The evil one have already taken a grip on their helpless soul. Only Jesus can set them free. Their mind, eyes, ears and heart are locked in darkness and dead to the truth. Pray and ask God, our Saviour to sent His grace to break down and set free these people.
'Go and say to this people: when you hear what i say, you will not understand. when you see what i do, you will not comprehend. for the hearts of these people are hardened, and their ears cannot hear, and they have closed their eyes- so their eyes cannot see, and their ears cannot hear, and their hearts cannot understand, and they cannot turn to me and let me heal them.' Acts 28:26-27
Believe me, I can understand how sad and painful to witness these people whom we loved got entangled in the web of evil. As Christians, you and I play a very important and responsible role as guardian to these people.
We are the beacon for the Light and we are handed the responsibility to guide these people out of darkness. We must not abandon or neglect or be angry and hate them during this hour. We must be steadfast in the love that Jesus has filled us to care for them.
We must remember that they are but victims of evil and it's evil at work to destroy them and tear them away from the loving Almighty Father in Christ our Saviour.
The greatest frustrations is having to take a back seat, observing from a near distance how the evil one unceasingly offer temptation after temptation seducing them with the evils of this world and our loved ones lapping them up greedily and unexpectedly. The work of the Devil can be so convincing. Unless Jesus lives in you, how can anyone resist his pleasures?
However, in regardless how hopeless we seemed to look, remember that Jesus Christ has given us His victory at the cross and when we continue to hope in Him, I am confident that someday we can give Him honor and glory when His grace set our loved ones free.
I hope I have, by the gifting of the Holy Spirit, provided you His peace and comfort to be bold and confident approaching your dilemma. Only in Jesus Christ, our Saviour do we have the victory.If Jesus is with us, who can be against us? And remember, do not give up praying for them.
May He be your peace and comfort now and forever

I HATE YOU!
Honestly, I have no intention to intrude into someone else private love life. Whatever fervor propels me into one seems strange. It definitely wasn't interest nor jealousy, neither it was infatuation or lust . I am sure it's no mistake that it's love, godly love that propelled me into this frenzy disposition. Yes, I can feel that it's because of a concerned godly driven heart that is filled with the Father's unconditional love. Period. No other foreign elements participated in this busybody absurdity.
You cannot influence someone to hate a person they loved, neither can you have someone love a hated person. The Master Divider of relationships must play it's role.
Once upon a time, I was so in love with the world that nothing that Jesus, my Saviour who loved me and died for me, whispered into my heart could change my passion for the world and everything that's in it. I was so in love with money, sex, pride and everything evil. Thank you Jesus for patience and kindness and everything that He is in 1 Corinthians 13:4-7, He endured all of my imperfections and misconstrue about love. He is patient enough to allow the evidence of evil someday to destroy my misinterpreted perception. His love for me is eternal.
Jesus Christ, my Saviour loved me long before I was even conceived in my earthly mother's womb. His love for me is everlasting. It's whether someday I will wake up to my senses and turned back to Him, my Everlasting Love.
But those who are still caught in the web of evil, we hated Him.
If we hate the people who truly loved us, how can we then loved the people who never love us purely? And how do we ever discover and establish whether a person truly love us. In 1 John 4:16b, God says that He is love and unless He lives in us, we don't know love. And if we have never experienced God our Father's love in His Son, our Saviour Jesus, then how do we love? Love must live in us first because all good things belongs to God, the Father.
Throughout our life time, God, the Father sent His Holy Spirit into us in a variety of manner to help us reminded of His love for us at the cross. But each time, we turned Him away, hating Him more as our love and desire for evil tightened its grip. If we have never experienced the Father's love for us at the cross, then the love that we display comes from evil. It bear all the resemblance of evil. It is lust not love that lives in us.
Praise and thank God, the Father in Christ Jesus our Saviour, for His mercy and grace in His unfailing love. Ultimately, His mercy and grace in His unfailing love triumphed, setting us free from the slavery of evil. No chains of evil, no matter how strongly we were bound by it could withstand the awesome power of our Saviour's grace.
Today we may hate Him, but someday, yes, someday His grace will be victorious in us and then we will return to His true, pure untainted love. His Spirit lives in us to ache for those loving Fatherly arms whose embrace provided us eternal love.
But for now, He is patient to wait for us to turn back to Him because He wouldn't want any of His children to be lost to evil, forever! (2 Peter 3:9)
The Father desire all His children to live in His love and not lust!
Thank you Jesus for your love at the cross.

Just An Old Fashioned Love Story
I love you! I love you! I love you!
Remember the touching romance story of the frog prince, trapped by a spell that turned him into an ugly frog whereby only by kissing it could break the spell and turned the ugly frog back into a handsome prince. Then along came contemporaries love story movies like Shrek, a romance setting of the old beauty and the beast tale. Had any of these successful romances of impossible matches influenced any of todays romances?
Do people love because they understood true love?
Ever heard, read or encountered a truly honest true love story recently?
I read, heard and encountered this romantic tale about a Father after a perfect bride for His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. Like any romance tale, it is composed of a twist, the presence of a jealous suitor, Satan, out to wreck the Father's perfect wedding ceremony, for His perfect Son.
Jesus Christ portrayed the perfect bridegroom, characterized by his humble, graceful, merciful and unfailing love attitude. Jesus is always accessible to any kind of help needed by his suitors even to the point of death. The extend of his agape love for his suitors resulted in him going through persecution, prosecution and execution. And he did this for those who were labeled "unwanted, rejected, discarded". Everyone of these mis-match were invited and welcomed to be a part of his eternal family, bound by a simple condition that each suitor acknowledged the Bridegroom as the True Only Begotten Son of the Living Almighty I AM of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
Jesus Christ aka the Son of the Living Creator, the Light, the Truth, the Way, the Life, the Saviour and Redeemer!
Over at the other corner is Satan, the self-centered, self proclaimed Prince of the world, handsome, wealthy of all material riches of the world, hypothetically a vain pot too! Satan is famed for his charming, seductive, alluring, captivating words and generosity of worldly wealth to his suitors who chose him. Yup! He is the one who give out Mercedes, BMWs, Rolex watches, bungalows, and an assortment of the world's currencies. I read that his eternal kingdom is a fiery one! And don't even dream of air conditioners! There ain't any!
Satan aka The Devil, the Prince of Darkness, Deceiver, Liar, The Evil One, The Fallen Angel!
Having introduced you the bridegrooms, the irony is, for Jesus Christ, the heavenly Father make His choice, selecting brides for the Son with the balance going to Satan. I've learnt that the heavenly Father's grace is bountiful for those who will not surrender their pursuit to be brides of His Son.
Genuine true love acts in silence. Love is humble, patient and kind. Love is never jealous or boastful or proud or rude. Love does not demand it's own way. Love is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. Love does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth prevails. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstances.
Fake love bears the following similitude. It seemingly attracts you with priceless worthless material things that don't last. It charm and captivate you with seductive sweet words. Fake love abdicate confrontation with difficult circumstances. Fake love deceived you into believing that it will triumph over circumstances where only agape love can remedied.
Do you know what is love and understand it?
Ask God, the Father who is love. He knows because true love comes from Him. We love because He first love us in His Son, Jesus. The sinful person cannot see, experience and comprehend true love because love belongs to the Father, who is holy.
I am compelled to include the following Scripture in closing.
Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you. For the world offers only a craving for the physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world. And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever.
1 John 2:15-17
Watch out for my next posting titled 'I Hate You'
In a flash, the people you loved most, turned around and hated you. Galatian 4:16 have prepared us for those moments, Have I now become your enemy because I am telling you the truth? In a flash, the trust in the true lover turned to the fake lover!

Jesus, I Don't Need You, I Need Money!
I wondered how many people out there believed that we seriously needed money to do the Almighty I AM's work or will?
Money is one interesting controversial subject surrounding us that needed to be exposed of it's greatest lies and deceptions.
Honestly I must have heard a zillion times from sermons that the Almighty Lord God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, who by His Majestic power brought His people, the Israelites out of Egypt have blessed the Church built by the hands of man with money to do His work.
Can we accomplished the Creator's work without the gifting of the Holy Spirit? If the Almighty I AM does His own work, then do we really need to involve money to do the work?
And I am now seriously questioning God's almighty power that God needed money to do His work. Are we saying that without money, God by His Majestic power will not be able to accomplish His work?
The Almighty Lord God of Israel, who created heavens and earth and everything that's in it needed money to accomplish His work???
Jesus Christ, our Lord Saviour who redeemed sinners at the cross, paid everything in full for our redemption, warned us incessantly through His teachings about the evils of money, is now inviting us to place our trust in money and not in Him who is the almighty power to live for Him alone?
Wow! What interesting truth from the pulpit!
The Creator of heaven and earth, who filled everything in it needed money to built His church and it's related work??? Huh!
Truthfully, I grew up believing that we were asked to built His Church, who are people with His love and humility! We were empowered with abilities from the Holy Spirit to accomplish His will by touching lives with His agape love. God the Father of our Saviour Jesus does His own work through us. Our Saviour filled us with His own Spirit to achieve all His purposes so that the Father is glorified.
Please tell me that I am writing lies and nonsense!
"Without money, how can we do His work?"
"Heavenly Father, we needed money to do your work! Please send us money! Apparently your power is ineffectual in what we wanted to do for you. Money works better!"
Throughout Scripture, God, Father and Creator of heaven and earth demonstrated His awesome power. God accomplished all His work by His awesome power. And He needed money?
Yes, I heard you loud and clear that your church leaders told you about church building and God will provide you the ability to tithe towards the building. Maybe it's time that you start spending some time each day getting to know God, your merciful and graceful Saviour better, by reading His heart and thoughts in the Bible.
Perhaps you should read Job 36-41 to know the Awesome Almighty and Majestic God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
The sons of the living God, Father and Creator, the Almighty I AM, lived by trusting in His awesome majestic power. Amen.
