NOT TO REPEAT EVE'S MISTAKE
Dear brothers and sisters,
If you can recall exactly what Adam and Eve's story from the outset and how Satan deceived Eve to eat the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, then you shall agree we should walk according to His Word. As such, you should be careful and precise with the word you use, in order to understand the commands from Him.
In today competitive world, concepts and words are loosely used or without fully understanding of each word or its true meaning. Therefore, it is very easily to be manipulated by the persons in higher social status in term of ranking, richness or position. You should cultivate a good habit of constantly consulting dictionary or master or elder or Scriptures so as to grasp the key principles/ true meaning of each word. In that sense, you will not be negligent on your part.
Therefore, by now we should not repeat the same mistake made by Eve.
May I remind you further the phrase used by Satan when he deceived Eve. Satan said, " you won't die! God knows that eating that fruit will make you like him; that's why he doesn't want you to eat it."
If both of them are diligent and listen the phrase with due care, they will not sin. Due care should be exercised so that you are not misled by anyone. Stay focus on Him and listen to Him carefully and diligently so as not to be confused with the voice from your flesh and His voice.
I pray that His grace will guide you at all times,
God bless,
James Oh

THE BOOK OF PHILIPPIANS
Dear brothers and sisters,
I have just completed the book of Philippians with my bible study group. Since it is still fresh in my memory, I like to take this opportunity to share with you what God has revealed to me through this great book.
This book has recorded Apostle Paul's life, born in a very prominent family; well trained by Pharisee; a prosecutor of the church; and was to righteousness under the law, before our Lord touched him.
It is due to God blessings that he submitted to the Lord and let Lord transform him to uphold Christ, totally different from his initial belief (false). As a result, he ended up in the prison and lost everything including his well rewarding and promising career as the prosecutor against Churches. However, this turn out to be his blessings in his defense and confirmation of the gospel.
What has happened to Apostle Paul has actually helped to spread the gospel. Through the God's grace, he lacked nothing despite the fact he had lost everything. Truthfully God has been maintaining and moulding him so that he achieved his destiny.
It illustrate to us, how God set him free and conquered death. Praise the Lord.
Paul had shown us the way to imitated Christ's humility and to do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility regard others as better than himself.
In Philippians 3.1 to 6 he showed us how he broke through from his past strong hold - and made a clear distinction between Law and Grace. Remember that the Law is through Mosses and Grace is through Christ. Christ is much greater than Mosses, so does grace.
Grace is only possible after the individual has acknowledged his sin and truly repent. Thereafter, he will receive the real revelation. And of course it does not apply through the law as the law can not make anyone perfect.
Despite being well grounded with Scripture knowledge, he still press on to his destiny; forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead. In other word, we should stay focus on Christ and do not let our bondage to hold us back.
In Philippians 3:17 Brothers and sisters are called to imitating him and observe those who live according to the example he had given..
Trust the above will inspire you, the same way it has inspired me.
Thanks for your time and have a blessed day everyday,
James Oh
