Look up at the heavens

Normally i like to pray as i walk to work from my car park. Not all the times but the times when i remember to. Usually i will pray the "usual prayers" like for work, ministry, family and a few other friends that come in my mind. But 2 days ago, as i was walking , i was prompted to do something different. Instead of asking this and that, i was actually communicating with God and marvel at Him. As i was talking to Him, i started to look around. I saw trees, leaves, and birds. All the sudden my mind clicks and i have never felt this peaceful before. Let me tell you why. I started to look at His creation and started to think God , you are so creative. You created every single birds differently, even the plants, we can never find an identical plant. Sometimes i marvel at human's creation of tall buildings, the new technology and all other things but to think about it, even human is Your creation. If human your creation can create something so spectacular, what about You? I ca...

An answered prayer : sister came to BSF

Trully God listens to every single prayer of ours. Human often forgets but God never forgets. He is perfect and trustworthy.  I can remember when exactly it was, but i remembered there was a time i prayed that my sister will be interested in coming to bible study fellowship, the one i am attending.  I prayed that prayer but honestly it wasnt a persistent one and how i wish i was earnestly praying for it. But anyway... I prayed and i asked her to come but she told me bluntly she wasnt interested. So then i no longer pray for that but just secretly pray that her relationship with God will grow deeper each day. So... To my surprise last week she asked me when BSF starts again, i wasnt expecting her to say that she wants to join but she did. I even had to ask a friend of mine who is quite close to her whether it was because she invited her. But my friend didnt invited her. Later i found out that it was trully from her own desire to study the bible. Hooorayyyy... Here we go... When...

The hidden treasure

Last week at BSF we learnt 4 parables that describe the kingdom of heaven. If someone asks you what kingdom of heaven is, how would you describe it? I wouldnt go into details on the 4 parables but just on the parable of hidden treasure and the pearl (matt 13 : 44- 46) because I learn a truth that i never knew before Matthew 13:44-46 NIV “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field.     “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls.  When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it. I used to think that the hidden treasure is Jesus Christ, which is not wrong but actually theres more to it. The word of God is trully the double edged sword. Psalm 135:4 NIV For the Lord has chosen Jacob to be his own, Israel to be his treasured possession. Clearly from this verse w...

In awe of God - another promotion

I dont know how i should start to describe my admiration at God's goodness in my life. Guess what, i have got another promotion at work. Wohoo It was amazing because I never asked for it nor expected it or even imagine about it. The offer just came out of the blue. About 2 weeks ago my best friend's niece was very sick and she had to be hospitalised in the hospital i am working. I went to visit her during my breaks and after work for a few times. She was so young, only over 1 year old yet shes got a disease that has no cure. She may recover as she grows older but no one knows whats gonna happen. I feel so terrible and i almost cried. Even me whos an outsider feels this sad, what about her parents? I feel even worse about the fact that i couldnt do anything to help her. Suddenly i felt so regretful that i didnt study medicine or nursing. Anyway... its too late , that was what i was thinking. All i can do was praying for her The next day, my manager suddenly came up to me and...

Yesterday, today and tomorrow

I found this article as i read thru the brief sharing from Elevation church android app. I really like it so i thought i wanna share it here. ;) Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow Original post by Elevation media team. There’s a lot of different strategies that the enemy uses to get us off track in our walk with God. But I think one of the enemy’s greatest tactics is a sequence I call, yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Here’s how it works. The enemy gets you to think about your past, present, and future in these three ways: Yesterday – Remember when. Today – Live for now. Tomorrow – Do it later. The enemy wants to keep us stuck in yesterday. And so the way the he talks to us is by saying, “remember when.” In other words, the enemy comes to you and tries to get you stuck in yesterday’s memories. Dependent on yesterday’s successes. Reminded of yesterday’s failures. Or the enemy will get you stuck in today. He’ll t...

Noah and the Flood

Last friday I shared about Noah and the flood. It is not something new to me but just remembered about this story again when i read the bible which then i was encouraged to prepare a sharing. Actually the funny thing is it was not my turn to share but someone else. For some reasons i was compelled to just write up what i learn about Noah and the Flood while deep down in my heart i can sense that im going to share it in oikos. Again i believe this is a reminder from the Holy Spirit becosssss the person whos supposed to share totally forgot about it , plus not feeling too well too.  So there you go, i end up sharing the materials that i prepare. Okay without extending the introduction any further, lets dive down in the Word. The focus is from Genesis 6 to 9. I encourage you to revisit these chapters before reading the remaining sharing cos that way you will understand it better. It starts with a question: how does all this starts? The focus has been shifted in our current societ...
