I wanted my Manesseh from God.

I was sitting on the verse that spoke of how Jesus' cries were heard because he offered up vehement prayers and because of His godly fears. I prayed vehemently and coupled it with godly fears but instead of granting me the desires of my heart, i was given a picture...

12 legions of angels were at his dispatch. All they needed was a word from Jesus and all the humiliations, betrayal, separations and sufferings would have ended. The earth and all its creation would be totally annihilated and the heartaches of God that had existed since the fall of mankind would have ceased... But He decided to go through the path God planned for him. He decided to go through the cross and.... through the pits of hell....

It could have been so simple... God could have destroyed all man kind and recreate earth there and then. But Jesus did it God's way...

For God to provide me with the miracle i desire is so simple. All it takes is a word. I could have achieved it effortlessly. but this would mean that i reach my end without enjoying the means. I would have sat down at the right hand of the father without the crown, without the marks of the cross. I would have harvested without sowing in tears. The harvest would have been INCOMPLETE.... Jesus went to sleep so that his disciples would wake up. as a disicple of jesus, i choose the route of the cross.. That i may have the mark of Christ over my life.

Walk through my life with me at....

the Oil never has to stop flowing.

1 A certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, "Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared the LORD. And the creditor is coming to take my two sons to be his slaves."
2So Elisha said to her, "What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?" And she said, "Your maidservant has nothing in the house but a jar of oil."

3Then he said, "Go, borrow vessels from everywhere, from all your neighbors--empty vessels; do not gather just a few. 4And when you have come in, you shall shut the door behind you and your sons; then pour it into all those vessels, and set aside the full ones."

5So she went from him and shut the door behind her and her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured it out. 6Now it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said to her son, "Bring me another vessel."

And he said to her, "There is not another vessel." So the oil ceased. 7Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, "Go, sell the oil and pay your debt; and you and your sons live on the rest."



This passage is my fresh bread from heaven for the week! It hit me so hard that i had to record it down. As always, the good news inside of us compels us to share it with others.

Feeling all contended about being at where i am, my prayer life started to dip. i am very happy and contented. Don;t want to make any changes to it. But the Word of the Lord change my state of mind! During cg, he dropped this passage in my heart. he said, Deora, the moment you start entering my court without the jar of a hungry heart, is the moment my revival will cease in your life. then came the nugget.. Mediocracy is the enemy of Excellence and Greatness! If i am contended with simplicity, then the greatness and the promise land flowing with milk and honey will not be realised in my lifetime.

i went back and searched deeper in the Word. Lo and behold.. i realised that the oil ceased not at the mouth of the widow but at the mouth of the little boy. The moment the little boy said, there is no more jar, the oil ceased. Way before the prophet got to hear of it, the oil had ceased. If the boy had said, "Mother, let me go and get more jars because the house is running short of them", the oil need not have ceased. It struck me like never before.. Revival flows with the word of the mouth and the mentality you have. What you say and what you think is going to determine if your revival is ever going to perpetuate.

Wooo... another good day for me!!

A few month ago, i saw a top that i really like but i think it is too pricey... So i didn't buy it eventually.. Today, i saw it at a sale at $10!! From $33 plus to $10 is great!!!!!!!!!! Sometimes, i cannot help but help that it must be God!! I just find things i like at good prices. Thank you Jesus..

another really good thing is my SOT friend, a pastor from HK is coming for Emerge next year!! WOooo... i am really thrilled man! i would love to meet her again!!



Quickly come Eva!!

This is my beloved Deora, in whom i am well pleased!

This can't be real?!!!! I was just boosting of how i think i can face Jesus in my previous post. Then the Word of the Lord came to me.....

Had a praying session with my member, Pearl. After praying for the cg, we prayed for each other and she prophesied... Deora, i see the Lord smiling at you.. He says, He is well pleased with you.... That really lifted my spirit and warmed my heart. I am so glad. My peace is not fantasied.. It is real! i am at peace with God and at peace with myself..

What better comliments could there be than those from the Lord?! When people praise, you will test its reliability... Is it merely flatterly or is the person simply being nice. But when it comes from the Lord of Hosts, in whom there is no deceit... You can only.... tear and say Thank you Jesus..

So....

THANK YOU JESUS AND THANK YOU PEARL.

September slipped passed me and October jumped his entrance upon me. 2005 just barely finish bidding farewell and 2006 is nearly over too. Time and Tide wait for no man indeed. I am both in anticipation and in dread of the new year to come. In anticipation because i believe next year is going to be a greater year. This year had been great but i know no eyes has seen and no ear has heard and no mind can know what the Lord has prepared for those who love Him. i am waiting for more exciting things to come man!! But it also mean that another year of my life is over. But its ok. Youth and beauty are what Solomon described as VANITY, VANITY, VANITY. They are transcient and passing. If Jesus is to come back now, at least i can say, i am trying my best to become more like Him ....even though i am still a far cry from maturity. ;)

Beginning to enjoy my adult life alot. Chatting on a cosy couch... Soft musics riddled the background... Surrounded by good friends... Talking about life's precious lessons... Sipping away cocktails.. woo... Its so ordinarily extraordinarily. It is contentment. Enjoying exactly where i am at. Enjoying the simplicity of life. Enjoying all that was bestowed upon me. Thank You Jesus. i like it all.
