Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Do read and ponder...
Several years ago, a priest was transferred to a distant village church in his diocese. Some weeks after he arrived, he had an occasion to ride the bus from his church to the nearest town. When he sat down, he discovered that the driver had accidentally given him a quarter too much change.
As he considered what to do, he told himself, 'You'd better give the quarter back. It would be wrong to keep it.'
Then he thought, 'Oh, forget it, it's only a quarter. Who would worry about this little amount? Anyway, the bus company makes huge profits; they will never miss it. Accept it as a 'gift from God' and keep quiet.'
When his stop came, he paused momentarily at the door, and then he handed the quarter to the driver and said, 'Here, you gave me too much change. '
The driver, with a smile, replied, 'You are the new priest in the village, right?'
'Yes' he replied.
'Well, I have lately been thinking a lot about going somewhere to pray. I just wanted to see what you would do if I gave you extra change. You'll see me at church on Sunday.'
When the priest stepped off of the bus, he literally grabbed the nearest light pole, held on, and said, 'Oh God, I almost sold You for a quarter!'
God Bless,
James Oh

Being Christian..
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Our lives are the only Bible some people will ever read. This is a really scary example of how much people watch us as Christians, and will put us to the test!
Always be on guard -- and remember -- you carry the name of Jesus Christ on your shoulders when you call yourself "Christian .'
Watch your thoughts; they become words.
Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character.
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.
So
Stay FAITHFUL and Be GRATEFUL!

GOD'S GRACE - MY REAL EXPERIENCE
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Today, I just shared with another new Christian friend, Mr. Ho, I met yesterday. In our conversation, somehow we spoke about my still born child case which happened more than a decade ago. As a result, I took a legal suit against the private hospital, doctors and everyone involved in that incident, which I filed in two years later after I gathered all the correspondence and reports from them.
However, due to numerous reasons, such as misplaced files - according to my lawyer and the case was delayed for nearly a decade. I patiently waited and in the years I completed my legal studies. One day before the hearing date, I received a shock reply from my lawyer, who withdrew from representing my wife. I was at loss and pray to God. He came to rescue me and related the whole incident on how His son, who is innocent but yet prosecuted by human beings- His own creation. He showed me how He exercised His Grace through the whole incident which made me truly apprehensive. He, being Sovereign and Mighty God yet do not exercise His authority to kill those people, who prosecuted His Son- Jesus Christ, when He has justification to do so. But He decided otherwise.
Second point is that He revealed to me that if He opted to destroy all these people, He is no better than human beings, who will normally behave in this manner. In my child's case, I was the key witness at the whole scene from 6:00pm till the early morning of the following day. During that day, so many unbearable mistakes were made by the hospital staff, who even over-ruled my suggestion of requesting to inform the gynaecologist much earlier. As a result of such delay, my child was dead 10-20 minutes before birth, which left a vertical scar of more than 6 inches at her stomach. They all expressed their condolence to me and assured me that they have done every possible means and their best to save my child, which I totally can't accept. I disagree with their explanation. Sorry for me to say so, but I have to tell you the truth and my real feeling at that time.
Lots of inconsistency were found in the written reports I received from the gynaecologist, the expert's opinion and the domestic enquiry committee which made me doubtful of these reports. However, God's grace that I received made me withdraw the case.
Today, we share with you the real experience that illustrate how powerful is His grace that changed me so much. It was better to surrender this heavy burden to His shoulders, who will deliver justice accordingly. Prior to this, I must confess that I was very emotional and full of anger when I touched on this incident. I have to admit that partially it is my fault for suggesting this so called "better equipped" private hospital which I believed in, but turned out to totally different in our experience.
The lengthy time taken in locating the machine is obviously a negligent act in view of my wife pregnancy situation, even normal people can sense that urgency. However, the senior mid wife, which I cannot understand at all thoughts otherwise without assigning any reason. At the day of discharge, they dispensed the wrong medicine to my wife, which they explained that the medicine is only vitamins. Luckily, another patient's husband discovered the mistake and informed me to rectify the error. This has been furnished in one of their written explanation. To me, what is the point of consulting a doctor, and not taking the medicine the doctor prescribed. The more I think about it - they really insulted me in every aspect. However, God's grace again came into the picture. He requested me to forgive them for their foolishness.
He further convinced me that He is in control of everything. He who gives life to every creation has every right to call them back at anytime for His purpose - meant for good. Just trust Him and continuously walk by faith, and not by sight. now, this event does not hurt me any longer.
The above incident turned out to be an excellent illustration to me as how powerful is God's grace and I write to share with you the way God has touched me in this connection.
So, do not use any unfortunate event as an excuse to abandon Him, but submit to him more so that He can reveal the truth to you. The same way He has been taken through.

GOD'S PERSPECTIVE - CORNER STONE
Dear Loving Brothers and Sisters
Grace to you and peace from God our Heavenly Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,
This post, we are going to discuss something very basic, yet supreme important in our Christian walk.
GOD'S PERSPECTIVE - CORNER STONE
The book of Philippians is written by apostle Paul with the intention to cautious them on the false teaching of Christ.
Ph 3:2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the mutilation!
Ph 3:3 For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.
So, the question arises as how to get it right? To do so, we have to look at the Big Picture so as we do not let the details to confuse us. As such, it is supreme important to view from the right perspective. To do so, apostle Paul has taught us to adopt the God perspective.
Here, we can see that shifting of mindset is profound by the apostle Paul, i.e shifting from our human rationale /perspective to God's perspective. One way to relieve his pain from his flesh. No wonder so many Christian be able to achieving so many significant breakthrough in leadership effectiveness, like Paul.
As such, we must fully aware that having God's perspective is the corner stone of true christian walk, which drives our choices, decisions, thoughts and actions in accordance with God's will. And not using our intelligent/wisdom to carry out action which we normally do. I shall dwell in details as to why it should not be the case at the subsequent post.
Similarly, by adopting God's perspective, we are only able to see things beyond life on earth - Eternity Life. Naturally we will only able to response our actions consistently in that light. In doing so, we are then able to submit wholeheartedly to Lord voluntarily. Submission here is refer to submission that is made consciously and willingly. Bear in mind, God's gentleness do not force it through man. “Consciously” means “knowingly”, and “willingly” means “freely”, without compulsion. Therefore, it is defined in such a manner that the submission as demanded by Christian is not possible without knowledge.
Therefore, it is also important for us to understand fully as how we can enter into the Kingdom of God so that we can have such a perspective. Hence, we have no other way but to deal with the process listed below:-
Repentance
This literally means 'change of one's mind." It involves the will (Luke 15;18, 20), emotions (2 Cor.7:9) and intellect (Matt. 21 -29) of a person. It is the willful turning away from sin to follow after God. True repentance always leads to a change in conduct and attitudes. By doing so, we can only be of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind with Christ. (Philippians 2: 1-5).
Born again
Whereas "Born again" must also take place - the creation by the Holy Spirit of a new life in man called the "new creation" (2 Cor. 5:17) that brings us into the Kingdom of God (John 1:12, 3:3). It is an instantaneous change from spiritual death to spiritual death to spiritual life (Eph 2:1, 4-5)
When we are born again, we become partakers of the divine nature (2 Pet 1:4) and Christ now lives in us (Gal 2:20).
This is very consistent throughout the scripture as to why Jesus has to explain to Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews who came to Jesus. John3 :1-2. In verse 3 of the same chapter of the book, Jesus answered and said to him " Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."
Similarly, one can not has the God's perspective if he cannot see the kingdom of God. It is imperative to get this basic thing right in the first place.
From the above discussion, trust you are clear by now as to why we need to adopt God's perspective.
I pray God will reveal even to you should you have other interpretation. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

GIVING IS RECEIVING
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
He knows this equation is not logical to our minds,
but is also contrary to the way we normally think;
Wouldn't we agree that He does what He preaches;
Despite He is our Sovereign King
He operates by Grace and not solely by law
Tell us what is not given by Him
Name me one if you can
Ask yourself who creates the universe
And imagine what if all the planets disobey His commands
What will happen to us
Even though we are created small
He is inside us and will always being blessed us with a brain and soul
Which can be as Mighty as Him
If we submitted to Him wholeheartedly
This is not something new to us
Scripture well substantiate this truth
See how He shapes the earth according to His will
And not our will
He does not even has to touch us
But our action destroyed ourselves
This point in case is well proven in Scripture
So, do not be foolish
Just submit yourself to Him
So that you can receive precious gifts from Him
Which can make you move the mountain
So long as you obey His will
and not your will
So give your old self and receive new self from Him
Which is far greater than your old self
That why we say Giving is Receiving.
You must get it right
Because it is the Truth.
Giving is receiving
Here, we invite artists, producers and those who are keen to work with us to hit in a big scale, on commercial basis, so as to create a huge impact to lift people up. Then please email to jamesoh2003@yahoo.co.uk or skype me at james.oh18.

COME TO HIM BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE
Hi! Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Let us sing the song below:-
COME TO HIM BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE
You will never know for sure when your time is up
Because He, the one who creates you, control everything
So, do not risk your soul
Don't be blinded by your flesh
Look around for all the indicators
Which is so glaringly obvious pointing towards Him
He has done everything for you
There is no excuse for you
Because there are an abundance of evidence
So, come to Him voluntarily;
He will honour every Word of His despite He is Sovereign
His Word will never change over time
He will never take back the free will He has given you even though He has all the authority to do so
He has given you the precious gifts out of His grace
Which none of us is qualify for them
No wonder He will never reject or abandon anyone of us
He who creates the Heaven and earth know how you think and react
Because He is inside you
So repent and submit to Him
Let Him guide you along
Because He knows the way
Come to Him and let Him lead
Through Him everything is complete with joy
You are rest assured that you will not add any value to Him
Don't be foolish; come and ask for His wisdom
He will be more than happy to give you
What you need to do is to believe in Him wholeheartedly
This is because He knows that you cannot add value t by your own capability;
This is the truth; and He is not belittling you
So come to Him
Here, we invite artists, producers and those who are keen to work with us to hit in a big scale, on commercial basis, so as to create a huge impact to lift people up. Then please email to jamesoh2003@yahoo.co.uk or skype me at james.oh18.

COME AND RECEIVE HIM
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
May we present our fist composed song to you.
He has given us two ears;
Yet at times we refused to listen to His Word,
We chose to listen to our word;
He has given us a mouth
Yet we refused to preach His word;
But we preach our word.
He has given us two eyes
We refused to see His creation
Yet we prefer to see our own creation.
He builds Mansion waiting for us
But we prefer to build our own mansion.
That's why we can not understand Him
Who has done everything for us
We choose not to appreciate Him
Instead we will blame Him instead
But we take His credit as ours
Despite hurting Him severely
He still never change His love for us.
He is waiting at the finish line for
Those who chose to believe Him
So, please come and receive Him
Before it is too late
It is only one way ticket
You will have one day to return
So come and receive Him Now,
However you are always welcome at any time
You choose your time
Please come and receive Him
Here, we invite artists, producers and those who are keen to work with us to hit in a big scale, on commercial basis, so as to create a huge impact to lift people up. Then please email to jamesoh2003@yahoo.co.uk or skype me at james.oh18.

ENTERPRENEUR THROUGH SERVANT LEADERSHIP
Hi! Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
It is my pleasure to see you again. Thank you for all the support that you have shown. Your desire to be rewarded more is clearly noted.
As such, I am more than happy to share with you the following message. I strongly believe that the Lord wants to use me in a bigger way. He reveals to me that national progress is in the hands of Entrepreneurs as they are the pillars to the nation's progress. They are not only the goods and services providers to the people, but they are also the people who shape, drive the economy so as to achieve sustainable economic growth by creating more employment opportunities for the people. As it is not feasible for the government to fund and manage every industry, therefore the government needs to work hand in hand with these entrepreneurs to develop both small and large scale industries to accelerate the economic growth. I also need to make this clear to you that Entrepreneurship is not everyone's cup of tea. He reveals to me that I have certain qualities to be a successful entrepreneur, because I allowed Him to fulfill me and I believe in Him. I am fully aware that this is not my work, but His. He also reveals to me that when He opens the door, no one can shut it. Similarly, when He closes the door, no one can open it. That urges me to declare, lately, officially broadcasted on my blog to the whole world at large that I am a Technopreneur.
He reveals to me, through His Word, the qualities required to make a SUCCESSFUL entrepreneur, that required His servant to join hand with me to serve Him instead of just taking a back seat. We, Christians ought to shine, because He is inside us.
Creativity:
Creativity means the ability of bringing something new into existence in the public perspective. It can be anything and everything. The beauty of this is that there is no limit or boundary to it. Freedom need to be given so as to give the thinker a chance to create new items, which can be anything and everything. As such to be a successful entrepreneur, he needs to be creative. This point has been well proven in mankind's history, which needs no further elaboration. That is why God's creation is unique and distinct from others even if they are twins. That's why He has given us a powerful brain.
Innovation:
Innovation is another important pillar supporting entrepreneurship regardless of the field the individual is involved in. An innovative entrepreneur creates a resource. Because of his overwhelming passion, he can overcome any obstacle that comes along. His innovative ways will enable him to circumvent all obstacles which an ordinary person would not be able to do. That is why entrepreneurs always hold themselves responsible for their own future. As a result, they are able to sustain and maintain themselves throughout the journey without feeling the unbearable pain, very different from the ordinary person. They enjoy their enterprise no matter how tough it is and they do not need to be pushed by others. It comes naturally and they respond to it in a very positive manner, without regrets. It is, at times very difficult to describe in words unless you really go through such an experience. Sweet and rewarding for those who have made it. From the bible, it well demonstrates this point in case. No further elaboration is required.
Dynamism
An entrepreneur needs to be dynamic, so to speak, because of its nature of work the entrepreneur is involved in. A dynamic entrepreneur is a problems solver and always seeks for challenges that make their lives more exciting and rewarding as well. He always seek solutions to the problems/difficulties so as to make thing better in term of its features, function and etc..In short, to make the world a better place to live in. They love challenges as they know that challenges will make them progress. Therefore, you can see that they need to have interest and passion in that enterprise and not necessary focus solely on generating more money for themselves alone. A dynamic entrepreneur always seeks better ways of doing things in a more effective and efficient manner. They rely on the tested and proven formula that makes everyone involved be in a win-win situation. They consistently evolved through time, just like the way you start peddling your bicycle. We need to learn from nature, which is there to guide and lead us, and not through our work. This is because none of us can add value to it according to the Scripture.
Quality Leadership:
Leadership forms one of the most important ingredients because he needs to gain respect from others so as to lead the way in an effective manner. Time will tell his true quality of leadership. In fact, you can see his leadership when you walk into his office. His leadership will be reflected in his daily life and action, in how he manages the affairs, no matter how he conceals it. Good entrepreneur is also a good student, who has a desire to upgrade himself in any area so long as it can make him progress further and further, so as to stay ahead in the field he is in. He enjoys healthy competition because this is the way which can drive him to progress further. He is a no nonsense person who always constantly give his best shot and never give excuses. His quality of leadership will be clearly reflected throughout every aspect of task handling, problem solving and confronting issues in daily life. He is truly efficient and effective. An enterprise with excellent leadership is always prominent and highly demanded in the market worldwide. People such as Moses, King David, King Solomon etc and JESUS ＣＨＲＩＳＴ.. well illustrate the quality of servant leadership required.
Team Builder in nature:
An entrepreneur recognised and acknowledged the fact that he cannot act alone, he needs to build team to sustain the growth of his enterprise. As such, an entrepreneur forms group of individuals with common purpose to drive them to stay focus on their BIG goals and not the problem. They build network and continue to support each member with dedication, commitment, energy and innovation. Ａｇａｉｎ，this well ｉｌｌｕｓｔｒａｔｅ No one can achieve success by himself alone.
Firm and Decisive:
These qualities make them distinct from the rest. Usually they are far sighted, have clear defined mission and vision. They are able to stand against all odds. An entrepreneur makes firm decisions because they know what they are doing, they foresee the challenges in advance, therefore they are able to take the right wave of the uncertainty that ordinary people would otherwise missed. That is the great difference and always makes them look forward, which normal people may view as high risk. They are versatile people and they know how to manoeuvre so as to climb higher. Even if there is a fall, in ordinary person's view, they viewed it as a temporary set back and they are able to capture this adversity to make themselves better than their initial position. An entrepreneur starts with a completely new activity and he may either succeed or fail. Here, an entrepreneur usually takes a calculated risk of the above factors mentioned above.
Commitment:
Similar to any other type of adventure, an entrepreneur is usually a person with high commitment, has strong dedication and will power. They want to play the winning game that requires patience, they endure whatsoever obstacles that come along their journey. And they know that the resistance is there to shape them to build their inner muscles to overcome much bigger obstacles as they move to higher levels of success. Their desire will not lack fuel because they draw these energies from various invisible sources, given from the above.
Communication Ability:
Good entrepreneur is also an excellent communicator who can convey his message precisely and accurately so that his team members know what he really means and work hand in hand to support him to move to the next level of success. They have "authority" that comes with strong persuasive power to align his teams to flow with him in the same direction. They need to do it in a very transparent manner that requires high integrity to earn the trust and confidence from their team members. Their team members will not only listen to them but will respond accordingly with full confidence. This is they listen to their inner voice and not their own voice.

It is my pleasure to see you again. Thank you for all the support that you have shown. Your desire to be rewarded more is clearly noted.
As such, I am more than happy to share with you the following message. I strongly believe that the Lord wants to use me in a bigger way. He reveals to me that national progress is in the hands of Entrepreneurs as they are the pillars to the nation's progress. They are not only the goods and services providers to the people, but they are also the people who shape, drive the economy so as to achieve sustainable economic growth by creating more employment opportunities for the people. As it is not feasible for the government to fund and manage every industry, therefore the government needs to work hand in hand with these entrepreneurs to develop both small and large scale industries to accelerate the economic growth. I also need to make this clear to you that Entrepreneurship is not everyone's cup of tea. He reveals to me that I have certain qualities to be a successful entrepreneur, because I allowed Him to fulfill me and I believe in Him. I am fully aware that this is not my work, but His. He also reveals to me that when He opens the door, no one can shut it. Similarly, when He closes the door, no one can open it. That urges me to declare, lately, officially broadcasted on my blog to the whole world at large that I am a Technopreneur.
He reveals to me, through His Word, the qualities required to make a SUCCESSFUL entrepreneur, that required His servant to join hand with me to serve Him instead of just taking a back seat. We, Christians ought to shine, because He is inside us.
Creativity:
Creativity means the ability of bringing something new into existence in the public perspective. It can be anything and everything. The beauty of this is that there is no limit or boundary to it. Freedom need to be given so as to give the thinker a chance to create new items, which can be anything and everything. As such to be a successful entrepreneur, he needs to be creative. This point has been well proven in mankind's history, which needs no further elaboration. That is why God's creation is unique and distinct from others even if they are twins. That's why He has given us a powerful brain.
Innovation:
Innovation is another important pillar supporting entrepreneurship regardless of the field the individual is involved in. An innovative entrepreneur creates a resource. Because of his overwhelming passion, he can overcome any obstacle that comes along. His innovative ways will enable him to circumvent all obstacles which an ordinary person would not be able to do. That is why entrepreneurs always hold themselves responsible for their own future. As a result, they are able to sustain and maintain themselves throughout the journey without feeling the unbearable pain, very different from the ordinary person. They enjoy their enterprise no matter how tough it is and they do not need to be pushed by others. It comes naturally and they respond to it in a very positive manner, without regrets. It is, at times very difficult to describe in words unless you really go through such an experience. Sweet and rewarding for those who have made it. From the bible, it well demonstrates this point in case. No further elaboration is required.
Dynamism
An entrepreneur needs to be dynamic, so to speak, because of its nature of work the entrepreneur is involved in. A dynamic entrepreneur is a problems solver and always seeks for challenges that make their lives more exciting and rewarding as well. He always seek solutions to the problems/difficulties so as to make thing better in term of its features, function and etc..In short, to make the world a better place to live in. They love challenges as they know that challenges will make them progress. Therefore, you can see that they need to have interest and passion in that enterprise and not necessary focus solely on generating more money for themselves alone. A dynamic entrepreneur always seeks better ways of doing things in a more effective and efficient manner. They rely on the tested and proven formula that makes everyone involved be in a win-win situation. They consistently evolved through time, just like the way you start peddling your bicycle. We need to learn from nature, which is there to guide and lead us, and not through our work. This is because none of us can add value to it according to the Scripture.

GIVE GOD YOUR HURTS
Hi! Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Recently, I received a article, Daily Hope, written by Rick Warren who is also the author of several Purpose Driven devotionals, from the group member, after we talked about the difficulty to practise forgiveness in our previous bible study class.
Below is the author's wonderful article.

Give God your hurts
by Rick Warren
If you forgive others the wrongs they have done to you, your Father in heaven will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others, then your Father will not forgive the wrongs you have done. Matthew 6:14-15 (TEV)
"If somebody hurt you, let go of it, release them. That's one of the values of prayer. It helps you unload."
In your life, you will be hurt by others; sometimes intentionally; sometimes unintentionally. How you handle that hurt determines your happiness.
When you bottle up hurt in your life and hold onto it - that is called resentment. If somebody hurt you years ago and you're still holding onto it, it will poison your life. For your own health and happiness, you must learn to forgive.
The Bible says forgive and be forgiven. In fact, Jesus says "if you do not forgive others, then your Father will not forgive the wrongs you have done." (Matthew 6:15, TEV) They're inter-related.
It reminds me of the story - when someone told John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, "I just can't forgive that person! They hurt me too badly." Wesley's response was, "Then I hope you never sin."
For your own sake, let go of the past. If somebody hurt you, let go of it, release them. That's one of the values of prayer. It helps you unload. Forgiveness is the only way to get rid of the past. Forgive them and let it go. Get on with life. Forgiveness erases the videotape of that hurt memory that keeps playing over and over in your mind.
In my own marriage, the times I've felt closest to Kay, the times of most intimacy and oneness, have been times after a major blow-up. We've worked the thing through; we've both confessed to each other and asked forgiveness; and then we pray together. The oneness that comes out of that kind of experience just can't be explained.
When we let go of our hurts and forgive others we are reflecting the grace of our heavenly Father, who forgave us and continues to forgive us. It means we've given God our love; we've given God our lives; and, in doing that, we worship God.
In this connection, I must confess that if you let resentment rule your life. It will poison your life. I recalled when I let go of those involved in my still born child after I accepted Christ as my Lord and Savior. He revealed to me vividly why Our Heavenly Father never uses force to punish those who crucified His begotten son on the cross. Imagine being the Mighty and Sovereign is very much easier to justify His action to destroy them. His choice of forgiving them gains my respect. Otherwise, He is no better than any man, who will choose the latter which is very natural. I do not need to elaborate any further because there are tons of evidences to support this course of action.
I still recall when every time this incident emerges, I felt very emotional and raise my voice to relate that incident. I even went to the extent of bringing those involved to court despite the case was delayed for more than 10 years. It really bottle up hurt in my life for that length of period.
Since after I let go and forgive those people, I manage to get on with my life, the way the author describe. I also can vouch that forgiveness will erase the videotape of that hurt memory that keeps playing over and over in my mind. I am able to do it, through His grace I received from Him. I can say that it is because I choose to believe in Him. My intention to share it with you again because I want to glorify Him and others whom I have been benefiting from all these while. I also know that they do not expect any return from me, the same way I did for others.
Thanks for your time and effort to read this article. Please do share with others who you care for.
Wishing you a happy life.
