You are nothing!
When our hearts are not filled with the love and humility of Jesus Christ, we are but NOTHING!
If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn't love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God's secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn't love others, I would be nothing. If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it; but if I didn't love others, I would have gained nothing. 1 Corinthians 13:1-3
God our Almighty Father, Creator of heaven and earth, Father of our Saviour Jesus Christ, elucidate His approval of us that we can be everything but if His love doesn't live in us, then we are NOTHING!
Are you Nothing or are you SOMETHING?
Sharing God, my heavenly Father in Christ Jesus's wisdom that fills my tots daily.....

Who Filled You?
If God's Spirit, the Holy Spirit lives in you, are you still required to attend studies to learn about God, the Father?
But it was to us that God revealed these things by his Spirit. For his Spirit searches out everything and shows us God's deep secrets. No one can know a person's thoughts except that person's spirit, and no one can know God's thoughts except God's own Spirit. and we have received God's Spirit (not the world's spirit), so we can know the wonderful things God has freely given us.
But people who don't have the Holy Spirit cannot understand these truths from God's Spirit. It all sounds foolish to them and they can't understand it, for only those who have the Holy Spirit can understand what the Spirit means. 1 Corinthians 2:10-11, 14
So, when you don't understand the Bible, and our Saviour Jesus' teachings, check out who filled you?

I Love You Forever!
When someone says, "I Love You" to you, you expect the person to be trustworthy in it's commitment to love you forever.
So, when you says, "I Love You" to someone, how long are you trusted to love that someone?
Can anything ever separate us from the love of Christ? Does it mean Jesus no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us. Romans 8:35-36
When you says, "I Love You!" are you saying it with the love and humility that Christ, in the power of the Holy Spirit, has filled your heart?
Three things will last forever-faith, hope and love-and the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13:13

Ha! Now You Know It's Not Easy!
Someone just asked me how to place their trust in God?
My rejoinder: Simple, sell all you have, give them to the poor and follow Jesus Christ!
My rejoinder: Simple, sell all you have, give them to the poor and follow Jesus Christ!
Want To Live Forever?
You won't find eternal life by reading the Bible. However, you will find and learn about Jesus in the Bible.
You can attained eternal life only by believing and trusting in Jesus, the Saviour, the son of the Living Father.
You search the Scriptures because you think they give you eternal life. But the Scriptures point to me! Yet you refuse to come to me to receive this life. John 5:39-40
Jesus says, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one can come to the Father except through me." John 14:6

Sigh! Who Are You?.
It's what your heart says that is important; what your mouth says means nothing!
That's why only Jesus know who you are...cos only He knows your heart...
That's why only Jesus know who you are...cos only He knows your heart...

Families Are Gifts From God, Our Heavenly Father
Father's Day is tomorrow.
While each person is expressing their gratitude to God for gifting them a wonderful and fantastic father, I wonder how many claims are truth and how many are lies!
Honestly, I do not know how many children sincerely celebrate, appreciate and honor their fathers tomorrow?
There are those who hated their fathers. "My dad is a good for nothing!" You could hear them reverberating their frustrations.
What makes you entertain thoughts that your dad is a good for nothing? "Why do I have a dad like this? Why is fate so cruel to me?" you inquire.
Did our heavenly Father planned to give us lousy dads? I honestly believe the answer is no!
When we think we have lousy dads, I wonder whether the dads too harbor mutual impression why they, too have lousy children?
Broken families are a result of the devils work to destroy family bonds. It's the devil's work to plant hatred in families to divide a pure holy relationship established by our heavenly Father.
How then, are we going to heal and repair this rift?
The power of love!
The power of the Creator's love; the same majestic love that transformed the once devils in us into angels of God. The humble love of Christ at the cross is our victory over everything that's of the devil. It is evil that lives in us that causes us to sin against our heavenly Father, not against each other. It is evil constantly at work wrecking the bonds between that of father and child.
Do you wish for an angelic dad this father's day?
Pray and ask God, the Father for His abundant grace and mercy in His unfailing love to fill your hearts. Petition Jesus to teach and help you forgive. Pray for His wisdom to minister to each other. Commit the relationship to Jesus and ask Him to restore the brokenness.
Jesus' grace and mercy in His unfailing love is powerful to heal and restore the broken relationship between father and child.
Tear down the pride the devil has planted in your hearts by asking Jesus, our Saviour to fill your heart with His love and strength to say, "I Love You!"
In Jesus Christ, the Saviour we can claimed victory over our adversary.
By the power of His Almighty I AM's majestic love in His son, our Saviour Jesus, any broken relationship can be healed. Jesus' resurrection has given us the victory to destroy the works of the Destroyer.
Honor your father and mother. Then you will live a long life in the land the Lord your God is giving you. Exodus 20:12
Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day!
A dedication to my earthly father: Mr. Ng Kok Kian (1926-2003)
My earthly father taught me this: If you don't learn to give ten cents today, out of a heart filled with Christ love and humility, you will not be able to give twenty cents tomorrow, from the same heart.
Thank you heavenly Father, the Almighty I AM, Creator of heaven and earth and everything in it and my Saviour Jesus, who did not judge me guilty when you came to die for me at the cross, for the gifting of a wonderful earthly father.
Thank you, Pa, for loving me! Rest well now until our Saviour returns.
Pa, I love you, you will always live in my heart! Cheers!
Thank you my Lord and my God, Jesus Christ, for filling my heart with your love and humility to feed, care and love my father everyday, until your return soon, in every elderly men out there, that they may know that you alone are God, the Father and Jesus Christ our Saviour!

Jesus Is My Friend?
Do you read the Bible?
Did you read the Bible, today?
No!
Then, how can you claimed to walk and have fellowship with the Saviour Jesus Christ?
No time! Busy! God gifted us with 24 hours a day, and we spent most of His gifted time to us with the world but no time for the One who alone loves us?
And you tell the whole world you love Jesus?
And you comfort yourself by telling yourself that Jesus will understand?
Boleh?
Mana Boleh?

From Earthly To Heavenly
Jesus Christ, the son of the living God, came to die as a son of man, so that I, a son of man can become a son of the Living God.
From Dust To Son
I was once dust, but now I am a son of the living God, forgiven and set free by the blood Jesus Christ, my Lord Saviour paid in full on the cross for my sins.

Me And My Big Mouth!
I am just curious wondering how many 'Christians' are true to their confession that they love the Lord, our Saviour Jesus with all their hearts, minds and souls?
Or are most of our faith simply an affectation?
Most of us, when posed the question of how much we love Jesus, without hesitation will articulate how much we truly and sincerely love our Saviour Jesus.
I am getting goose bumps now pondering how I will react if someday my Saviour decides to test my faith.
How do I respond if God were to ask me sacrifice my only son to Him to authenticate that I truly love him with all my heart, mind and soul? Will I be obedient?
How do I respond if God were to ask me to sacrifice my life for a total stranger with sins filled to the brim? Will I be obedient?
Will I be like Peter in Matthew 26:33-35, who professed his faithfulness and vowed that he is prepared even to die with Jesus, but ended up denying knowing our Saviour thrice when confronted with persecutions?
Or will I doubt like John the Baptist, when in prison awaiting execution in Matthew 11:2, suspicious whether the Jesus he baptized was really the Messiah.
Just exactly how true are our faith?
How many will deny knowing our Saviour when we are tested?
How many will cry out to Jesus, our Saviour to summon His help to give us the victory to stand up for His honor and glory?
How will I really respond if God, the Father someday decides to test my faith?
My Lord Saviour Father Jesus, grant me the strength in the power of the Holy Spirit not to cower and scurried away from your presence, denying that I ever knew you! Help me Lord Jesus!
How about you?

How about you?
Well Done!
I am irritated by the constant confrontation with the question whether I attend Church regularly on Sundays?
Why would you want to know? Does that necessarily mean your spiritual life is better than mine? Yes, while you may be praised by your pastor and your regular attendance may be laudable by your church, the question is how would God view your worship to Him; not only on Sundays but every beat of your heart?
Your daily life is a representation of your worship to God, our heavenly Father and Father of our Saviour Jesus. Every moment of how you administer your earthly life is a witness to how passionate you honor God, the Almighty I AM.
How well do you conduct your 'Christian' lifestyle daily besides the two hours on Sundays?
Carefully determine what pleases the Lord. So be careful how you live. Don't live like fools but like those who are wise. Ephesians 5:10,15
If you are wise and understand God's ways, prove it by living an honorable life, doing good works with the humility that comes from wisdom. James 3:13
Are you a blessing to the people surrounding your earthly life?
Your spoken words, your deeds and your thoughts are constantly being recorded in heaven, not only on Sundays!
Do you love your parents in regardless of how bad they are to you? Did you pray for them and ask Jesus to forgive them for the wrongs they committed against Him? Did you share how wonderful your Saviour is with them?
Have you ministered to a less fortunate person that crossed your earthly life by offering food, a warm and peaceful smile, a godly greeting "Jesus Loves You?" While you brush aside the problem to drop a ten ringgit note into the offering box, did you sought the Holy Spirit's help to provide you Jesus strength to be charitable to a less fortunate person?
Did you say 'hi' to your neighbor this morning, or your colleagues in the office, in the marketplace etcetera?
Did you smile at someone caught together with you at today's traffic crawl?
Did you hear Jesus' heartbeat against yours when you honestly say 'I Love You' to someone?
There are many more very simple acts to please our Saviour Jesus by how we live our earthly lives.
Worshipping Jesus is not confined only in the Church on Sundays, but by every breath you take.
Don't be just all words and no deeds! James 2:14
Don't worship Jesus with only your mouth, but with all your heart, mind and soul.
Man's compliments meant nothing.
We don't live for man's glory but for God, the Almighty I AM, Father of our Saviour Jesus.
The greatest reward is when Jesus Himself compliment you "Well Done!"
These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Matthew 15:8

I AM But A Fisherman.....
Do you see a godly person in an ordinary fisherman?
(What I meant was, as a fishermen, it never crossed my mind that someday the son of the Living God would come into the world and prefer me than the many religious workers from the temple? Is it not a surprise that Jesus Christ prefer me instead of the Pharisees, Levite, and the teachers of the law? I am sure the people in the temple were!)
Anyway maybe you do not wished to divulge your judgement.
Not until Jesus the Christ came and picked 11 of them to be His disciples, they were just fishermen. They were catchers of fish until our Saviour Jesus promised to teach and train them to catch men.
They were just ordinary people until Jesus, chose them and blessed them with the power of the Holy Spirit, transforming them, from ordinary to 'extra' ordinary people. They were catching fish then but now they work for the Kingdom of God, to look for God's lost children, living in the world the Creator placed them, lost from the Truth.
Today, the Father in Christ Jesus chose me to be a fisher-of-men. I am now a worker for the Kingdom of God. Honestly, the work is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Where do I start looking? How should I introduce my Saviour Jesus to these people?
Okay! okay! I am not going to start complaining like Moses did, okay! Even when God assured Moses that He will be with him throughout his assignment, Moses wasn't confident of managing that mammoth divine mandate.
Like Moses, I am also assured by my Saviour that He will sent His Spirit to equip me. After all, it is He who is doing all the work as I am merely a vessel used by Him. Without the Holy Spirit, I could accomplished nothing for His honor and glory!
I did not spent obscene amount of money to attend classes learning about my Saviour and what to do for the task ahead. Everything I needed was filled by the power of the Holy Spirit to equip me for the purpose.
Dear brothers and sisters, I want you to understand that the gospel message I preach is not based on mere human reasoning. I received my message from no human source, and no one taught me. Instead, I received it by direct revelation from Jesus Christ. Galatians 1:11-12
I am not a part of any role that is of the temple built by men. On the contrary, I belong to the Temple, who is Jesus Christ my Saviour. In Matthew 27:50-51, Mark 15:37-38, and Luke 23:45-46, it was recorded that the temple built by men was destroyed when Jesus Christ died. Jesus Christ is now the Temple and those who are chosen by the Father will be weave into His body.
A Reprise: I am but a fisherman, just an ordinary fisherman until Jesus my Master came to transform me into a fisher of men. I am not a Levite, Pharisee, Sadducee or any teacher of religious`law appointed by the temple. I am an ordinary fisherman chosen by Jesus Christ Himself.
This letter is from Paul, an apostle. I was not appointed by any group of people or any human authority, but by Jesus Christ himself and by God the Father, who raised Jesus from the dead. Galatian 1:1
My duty as a fisher of men is, believe it or not, rather simple. All that was required of me is to go about my own life, keep myself away from evil and wrong doings until I am needed. If there are any work to be accomplished, then the Holy Spirit will fill and equip me. If you keep yourself pure, you will be a special utensil for honorable use. Your life will be clean, and you will be ready for the Master to use you for every good work. (2 Timothy 2:21)
Hope now you understood me when I say I need not spend obscene amount of money to study to equip myself to do the work of God. I am sure my heavenly Father will not want to burden me financially.
It is not that we are qualified to do anything on our own. Our qualification comes from God, Himself. 2 Corinthians 3:5
You see, we are not like the many hucksters who preach for personal profit. We preach the word of God with sincerity and with Jesus Christ's authority, knowing that God is watching us.
2 Corinthians 2:17
As a fisher of men, my work is constantly witnessed by God, the Father of my Saviour Jesus Christ. It's not important whether men witnessed my work and judged it because I am not a praise and attention seeker. Neither am I doing it for money. Our heavenly Father is so rich; He owns the world and everything in it and He will be please to gift us, His children anything we asked from Him. It makes no sense why He would want us to pay for anything and burden us. My praise comes from God alone.
My appointment as a fisher of men, my work is not inside the temple but to built and seek God's lost children and bring them home to the Temple. So, if I am not with you in the temple, don't judge me as someone different because you do not know or understand my work for the Temple.
Leave me alone! You do not understand my work or my life. Do not think or believe that because you are a regular attendee of Sunday service, you are mightier than me! You do not even know of my personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
I am a fisher of men, a servant of the Gospel, not appointed by any human authority but by Jesus and the Father.
I am a Fisher of Men, who believe that Jesus is the Christ, the son of the Living God, Creator who was sent to redeem me by dying for all my sins on the cross, and with the help from the Holy Spirit gifted to me, I confessed with my mouth and believed in my heart that Jesus is the Saviour, I died and rose with my Saviour and now awaiting His return soon to bring me home safely to the Father, who alone loves me.
As a fisher of men, each day, I am prepared to suffer persecution, prosecution and execution for the glory of the Gospel of Jesus, my Saviour.
Are you ready?

Our Father Saviour Jesus remembered we were created from dust but the dust had since forgotten that they were dust. Then the Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground. He breathed the breath of life into the man's nostrils, and the man became a living person. Genesis 2:7
We sinned against the Creator because lies, planted by the serpent at the Garden of Eden, lives in us, causing us to believe that we are wise. Till this present day, we are still heavily intoxicated with lies. Can dust have wisdom and truth? Perhaps now you understand what I meant when I say man (we) had apparently forgotten that we were but dust.
If we allow lies to continue to live in us, then the dust will return to dust. But Jesus came to set us free at the cross with His truth. If we have the Truth, then we will live forever with the Father, our Creator.
In the beginning, (The story of Adam and Eve) the holiness of God lives in us until we were contaminated by unholiness. We were born out of the perfect hands of the Creator. But lies came and interrupted our perfect lives with the Father by deceiving us that we can live apart from our Father. In Genesis 3:5, Evil lied to Eve that she could be like God if she disobey God.
And our perfect fellowship with our heavenly Father at the Garden of Eden ended abruptly, being torn apart by the lies and deception planted by the devil that we could be God. That evil aspiration to be like God has now fully grown into evil lust. The result was we ended up living independent of Him. And that verdict was disastrous!
By the out-pouring of His amazing grace and mercy, we were reconciled to Him by His son's death at the cross to redeem us from all our wrong doings.
We had always been in the core of our Father's heart since that cursed day. The Father had a plan because He remembered we are dust. Because we are dust, He forgave us for the lies we believes in and all the wrongs we committed against His Holiness, because we are dust! Dust do not have a life! The life in us was God's breath.
If you have the Truth, then you will know who your real father is.
That's why we were required to die to the old self. The old self no longer please the Father. The old self brought the Father a lot of anger, and disappointment. The sons of Adam must returned to dust so that our newly resurrected life will be fully powered by Jesus, His promise son.
You have a choice; to return home as dust to dust or to return home as a son into the loving graceful arms of God, the Creator Father.

One: The Beginning Of A Miracle
It's always very easy to extend kindness when eyes are looking, but questionable when the surrounding is empty. Most of us are praise and attention seekers.
My earthly father taught me this: If you don't learn to give ten cents today, you will not be able to give twenty cents tomorrow. I always believe that Jesus could have spoken to my father before?
In the New Testament of the Bible, most of us have read, heard sermons about our Saviour feeding five thousand with only five loaves of bread and two fishes. A young lad committed his food to Jesus to perform a miracle; to feed five thousand. John 6:9
Trust me, our Saviour Jesus consider it a miracle if today you reach out, a heart filled with His love and humility, just to feed one less fortunate person in your midst!
Wait! Wait!, Just in case you wanted to tell me that you just bought a friend a meal...I think that's not counted. It had to be someone less fortunate and a stranger to you. A stinky and dirty person will be an added credit.
Maybe some of you may struggle to be kind even though often you boast about how kind and generous you are to your friends. Don't worry! All you really needed to do is ask the One who had experience feeding five thousand to help you start off feeding one. And your role is only to shout out loud inside yourself that you wanted to learn to care for someone today.
Your commitment to feed one today may witness you feeding five thousand tomorrow! Miracles belongs to Jesus! Help feed one person today and Jesus will help you feed five thousand tomorrow.
Apart from me, you can do nothing on your own. John 15:5

Trust Me, I Came To Save You!
Jesus told them, "This is the only work God wants from you: Believe in the one he has sent." John 6:29
Jesus told her, "I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying." John 11:25
Jesus told him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me." John 14:6
You search the Scriptures because you think they give you eternal life. But the Scriptures point to me! Yet you refuse to come to me to receive this life. John 5:39-40

And You Thought You Are Rich?
Being rich is not about what you owned; it's about what you can give. A generous and kind heart is a rich heart.
A generous and kind heart filled with Jesus' love and humility is the richest heart.
A rich person is not someone who give half of what he have. A rich person gives everything towards the kingdom of God. Remember the poor widow who gave all she had in Luke 21:1-4?
You may be rich by men's judgement but are you rich before God? The children of God trust their heavenly Father for His provision and not the world.
Ponder and ask yourself whether you are truly rich?

Do You Truly Believe?
Most of us will not dither when asked about their belief the existence of only One God.
You believe there's only One God, and He is the Creator of the world and everything that's in it. You believe that if you pray to Him, He will answer you.
Since you believe that anything He tell you is true, why won't you believe Him when He tell you that Jesus is His son and you should placed your trust in His son because the son died for all your wrong doings?
We believe everything the Almighty God says, except when He tell us that Jesus is His son. Why?
We confessed that there is an Almighty God, Creator above us, why won't we believe what He says?
It's funny how much we believe in the feng sui master's words but not God's.
Apparently we don't actually believe in everything God, our Creator, Father says unless its something about money and how to get rich.
How pathetic?
