NARROW PATH TO THE KINGDOM OF GOD

2012-02-07T06:27:00.000-08:00

NARROW PATH TO THE KINGDOM OF GOD

It is no surprise at all if you find the path to heaven is a narrow one. But don't be afraid and disappointed with God's plan. In fact, it is great news that no one is able to reach its destination by his own doing. This is because no one is perfect and therefore can be saved by our own action of doing good.

Because of His great love of all creatures especially man which was created out of His image. This One big plan, had never been changed or altered since day one when the world was created. This plan has been recorded in the Scripture. From the old testament, we were told that there is no one, from Moses to King David, who was ever perfect.

As a result of God's love of His own creatures, He even sent His only begotten Son to save the world. The formula of one man (Adam's) sin, the whole world sin. Similarly, this sin can only be redeemed through one Man i.e Christ. Read John 3:16. By believing in Him, you can only be saved. This is because such grace will then be bestowed to us so to speak.

This is consistent to what Apostle Paul said in Romans ..............if we can be saved by our own action, then Christ's death on the cross was in vain. God knows that due to the sin inherited from Adam, we cannot save ourselves from our action, even if we were united and work together toward this destination.

The good news here is that God know our limitation and stand by us to help us at any time so long as we extend our hands to this Mighty God. In order to strengthen us to overcome all these challenges, we need to open our hearts to Him. Acknowledging Him is the very first step towards this destination. By doing so, we can then open our hearts and souls voluntarily to Him. The ultimate outcome of repentance will occur. Once repentance takes place, He will then be able to remove all impurities from our hearts so that we are able to see the way He wants us to see.

This simple process is called "born again". It may sound irrational to out natural understanding. God knew in advance that we may have difficulties to apprehend this. As a result, Jesus had to explain to Nicodemus, who was the prominent Priest at that time. No surprise at all if we are not able to apprehend it.

What is more important is that you are able to see His plan and how much love He has for us. Believe in Him is the key to the destination. This is the plan He has for us so that we can be saved. By believing in Him, He is not taking control of us. This is because He still fulfills His promise of giving us our free will. Our free will will decide whether to follow Him or take our own path. Therefore, the choice is still with us. One thing you must understand is that by following our own free will, we will not be able to enjoy all the fruits He promises us.

For us to enjoy these fruits, we need to be guided so that we can act according to His will. By then, your flesh will not feel the pain and or discomfort; either physically, mentally or spiritually. But, you still can claim joy just like all the great man recorded in the Scripture - overwhelm by the joy no matter what situation they are in. In short, untouchable and unstoppable at all - well demonstrate the greatness of God's power.

Trust the above article will help you to see God's grace to a certain extent. Amen.

HE HAS SET US FREE

2012-01-15T22:00:00.001-08:00

HE HAS SET US FREE

We sometimes can not overcome old emotionsarising in new circumstances. If it is so, are we not raising doubt on Him? Bemindful, He has done everything to set us free from everything. Why let the oldbondage hold you back. Therefore, do not give in and let the circumstancestir up our emotion and control us instead. Do not underestimate this force. Toovercome it, we need to stay focus on Him and not let the surrounding eventsinfluence us. He knows much more and therefore reminded us numerous timesthrough numerous occasions where He reminded Apostle Peter.

Therefore, let us replay what we didacting on those negative emotions and remember not to repeat it in this samemanner. Be mindful that we are already free of all these so long as we trustHim wholeheartedly. If you have not, pray to Him and let Him convicts yourheart. Do come to Him and we need to let go. The only way is to seek the Lordand let His Word break the cycles. Think, pray and talk to the Utmost Highabout it. He is the ultimate and the best Counselor. He has ALL the answers andsolutions.

Walk by faith and not by sight is possiblethrough Him. Let Him leads our lives and be blessed with all the fruits offaithfulness. Nothing is impossible to Him as advocated "I can doeverything through Him who strengthen me" Philippians 4:13. There isnothing that can stop Him. When He opens the door, no one can close it.Similarly, when he closes the door, no one can open it.

God is so graceful to human beings and He even let His son, JesusChrist, to redeem all our sins when His son died on the Cross. He knows thatnone of us can do good by our own means as advocated in the Scripture. If wecan attain perfection through law, then Christ died on the Cross in vain.

Therefore, let us pray and thank to Him always. To walk with Him, we need tolisten to Him through our inner hearts, which we must ensure that we always stayconnected with Him through submission to Him always. As such, praying andspending quiet time with Him constantly so as to maintain intimate relationshipwith Him.

NEVER GIVE UP ON GOD

THANK GOD FOR SAVING MY MOTHER'S LIFE AGAIN

2011-11-02T01:20:00.000-07:00

Very welcome to this Christian blog which givehonours to Him.

I write to share with you another testimony tohonour Him again for answering my and others' prayers for saving my mother'slife about a week ago.

This time, He has again answered my calls forletting my mother to be discharge from the hospital after her admission for ashort span of two days despite her being unconscious from an overnight sleep.Fortunately, my younger brother, who was staying with her in Penangat that time, noticed something amiss after he failed to wake her up numerous attempts. Immediately, he called the ambulance to take her to thehospital. They then discovered that her sugar content level of 1.7 was far toolow for a diabetic patient like her. As a result, most of her body turned numband stiff. Thank God for my brother's awareness at that critical moment.

Thereafter she finds it difficult andhesitates to stay with me or my other siblings in Kuala Lumpur as she does not have friendshere. At the same time, her present health situation does not warrant her tostay alone. As such, I have to rely on Him to convince her to change her mind,knowing her firm stand and belief of being independent. Thank God again forturning this nearly impossible thing to a reality with ease. That makesme cry out with joys in my heart.

My mum had scarified lots for us and I stillremembered how she told white lies to make me finish the "Big Pau", meatBun, she bought for me with the extra money we both earned from our daily lottery tickets sales during my teenage years. At the very firsttime I was so glad and finish off the whole "Pau" and accept her word on the surfacethat she had taken her portion, which was not really the case. I learned mymistake from the first very first time and start to think hard of a way tooutsmart her. Finally, I was successful in making up excuses to keep a portionfor her. At that time, I began to cultivate a thinking habit and creativemanner to leave a certain portion for her. Thank God for putting I in such awonderful situation to pick up all these good habits and best practices thatmake me achieved what I am today. I felt very blessed after this MIGHTY andLOVING God revealed to me one by one.

It took me nearly several decades to find Himexactly as recorded in the Scripture, You seek and you will find. I must admitmy life had ups and downs since I was born namely born under weight of only 4.4Lbs, always sick during my childhood, and etc. Now, Lord has revealed to methat all these had moulded me to be better and stronger. He also made merealise that the more I submit to Him, the more He will lead me and go throughthe setbacks without much pain. Now, I am so comfortable with Him and even letHim to use me as one of His vessels to spread His Word, which I could not doso, without Him. I believe and am convinced that I'm not doing this alone.

I really feel that He is the One who has set mefree and gives me the wisdom to do what I am doing. The peace, joys andhappiness I received are from Him and I feel so secured despite my age isincreasing. Yet the strength He has given me is so great that I feel veryenergised and tireless. I must say He is keeping and maintaining me well and Iam very grateful to Him. In short, He has convinced and convicted my heart tosubmit to Him and let Him lead me. Thank you Lord. I share all these with youbecause of Him whom made me realised the true meaning of the life He has givento me.

Here, I write to praise Him always and stayfocus on Him to complete my walk by faith and not by sight. The sweetness ofthe fruit I enjoyed all these while is from Him, which is far beyond words.As such I encourage you to join in the walk because I want you to taste itsfruit yourself.

Thanks for your time and efforts of reading thistestimony.

THE UNDERLYING STORY BEHIND MY SIGNATURE

2011-09-26T12:11:00.000-07:00

THE UNDERLYING STORY BEHIND MY SIGNATURE

Very warm welcome to this uplifting blog,

Today, I decided to share with you some of the underlyingstories behind my signature, with the intention to furnish an effectivepractical solution to my life. This struck my mind last night while I waswaiting for my former superior, Madam Janet, and her husband, I thought ofputting my signature on the back of my name card before I handed to them, as amemorable souvenir for them. See the photo below and share with us what youcould see from it before I disclose its real story, and how it was created inthe first place.

Please do not scroll down to read its real story, but let yourimagination run a while. It is fun and you may have some pleasure from it.So, I appeal to you to share what you see from this signature. Thank you inadvance.

Perhaps some of you may use it to assist yourself to solvesome of your issues which you do not wish to tell anyone, like me in the past.This secret was kept in my heart for a few decades. Now, I chose to dootherwise for several reasons as mentioned follows:

1. It may serve an idea/inspiration to my new designer, introducedby one of my "Sifus" whom I have introduced to you in my precedingarticle, for my call card. The designer may think of a better way toreflect my identity and, character, with the intention that others may use itas a powerful tool to heal their hurts, I did. Some of you may be aware that Ireached maturity too early and was very independent at a very young age. Imissed most of my childhood life because I started to work on a part-time basiseven when I was at my primary school and many times I was hurt in manyways, in my studies, work, health and my social life was near to nothing.However, I was blessed with other talents such as Arts, Chess and Mathematics,that is the reason that made me to be an Artist at one time. I used tocover up my actual feelings occasionally, especially when I nearly could notbear it any longer. In order to escape from these hurts, one thing I did, aftermy discovery, was to draw a picture to put myself in a situation totallyopposite to the real situation I was in. This made me feel really good. As aresult, this signature was born to reflect my "DREAMED BEAUTIFULGARDEN" where I heard birds singing surrounded by beautiful full grownflowers and strong smell of their aroma. (from the beautiful Chinese poem Ipicked from.) It was so sweet and wonderful that I really felt on top ofthe world. I live in my own imagined world, which unknowingly build into myhabits from a very young age. This imagination power keeps me at peak andI was good at using my visualization to fan my desire and gainextra energy to work toward my goal to overwhelm all my hurts. At times, I justrefused to come out from it and ignored the events that happened around me. Youmay say that I was in a denial stage, which I will never say you arewrong. What I care more is that its impacts is so good and I never hurtanyone for doing so.

2. It may help people to overcome their unbearable hurts and as auseful alternative, especially in time of economic crisis like NOW. Thissolution may serve as a means to lift you up as its name suggests.

3. I hope others may share their ways on how they overcome theirhurts. As I always believe that we can make each other stronger and betterthrough sharing. One thing I noted the more I share with others, I tend toreceive more than give out. This may sound illogical to some of you. If it isthe case, then please read the link below:-

4. This is the way we used to reward our readers through thearticles we blogged. One way to get rid of my fear is to share my secrets outbecause it is not my way/habit. Secondly, in the past, I alwaysreceived negative advice and feedback yet I have so many unfulfilled BIGdreams. In order to preserve "harmony" in the environment, I have nochoice and chose not to say it out. But that again struck my mind that how could society benefitif everyone kept silent. Then how could we claim ourselves as responsiblepersons. Similarly, we are indirectly helping the depressed to stay inpower. As such, I decided to get rid of all my fears, one by one and steadfastwas my firm stand, so as to glorify the Mighty God, who has strengthened meto do all things possible.

Thankyou for your time to read this article. Please direct your friends here shouldyou find this article useful to you.

Thanks again and looking forward to hearing from you again,

James Oh

THANK LORD, YOU HAVE SAVED MY FAMILY AGAIN

2011-09-10T16:00:00.000-07:00

HELLO EVERYONE,

I, like many others, during the long holidays of Hari Raya and Our National day, took my family back to my hometown in Penang. Some of you especially those who followed my other blogs may be aware that I had a really fruitful trip this time.

On the way from Penang back to Petaling Jaya, I almost hit the divider of the North South Highway as I fell asleep. When I woke up at that critical moment, what I knew was that my vehicle was heading toward the dividers in between both sides of the highway. At that spark of the moment, my right hand was holding the steering of the vehicle. I was very calm at that moment, I was told to use my left hand to move slightly from the bottom of the steering toward my right side. As a result, the vehicle then swung from the divider and back to the lane it is supposed to be. Thank Lord again for popping up to assist when I am in need, exactly proving the saying, " a friend in need is a friend indeed'.

This is another time He has saved my family. To refresh yourself, you may read some of my old testimonies at the links below:-

As we used to say that God never blinks, He always watches us because He cares and loves us. Like the above instance, He came to rescue and directed me to avoid the accident from happening. Why I am so sure of His assistance? This is because all the above events occurred within a spark of second and I was so calm that He is within me. When need arises, I let Him used me as His vessel to direct my vehicle from hitting the divider. I know for certain that I could not do it if He did not come to our rescue. As such, I write this testimony to glorify Him knowingly that all titles, glories and honours belong to Him.

The following morning after I returned from Penang, I went to meet up with a few leaders from the African Navigator Group where they share their experience with us. When I share the above incident with them, they told me that my time is not up yet. That message instantly reminded me of my uncompleted tasks which was assigned by Him.

Furthermore during our discussion on that day, we were asked why we choose to follow Christ. My immediate answer was out of love to this question because He is the one who loves us first. He had done everything for us; He gives us life, salvation and word; He even redeemed our sins by abiding His father's will to die on the cross. I can't think of anything that makes me not to love and follow Him.

I write to thank Him for everything He has done for me and will definitely let Him use me as one of His vessels to do according to His will, and not my will. I know that I could not repay Him for what He has done for me. To let Him uses me as vessel is nothing when compared to what He has done for me.

So praise and thank Lord should be written into our hearts deeply.

Seeing you again and look forward to hearing from you,

James Oh

LET US BE HIS VESSELS

2011-09-07T08:19:00.000-07:00

Thank you so much for joining my blog.

As some of you may be well aware that I am always so excited to share with you what I'm doing on the web.

First of all, I must say that my life is not my own, but it belongs to God, who has created me in the first palce. After my soul seeking journey, I am, just like some of you here, I write to share with you how to take your life's Mission for Christ and spread it like wildfire across the internet. To me, this is the right way to thank and glorify Him, and not me.

As reported in my preceeding articles, my life changed dramatically when I accepted Him. Since then, He has shaped me to be stronger and healthier to overcome whatsoever challenges in the future. I must admit that He never abandon me no matter what situation I am in. At times, it is my choice of not trusting Him that caused me to stumble. After numerous revelations, I discovered my true self and begin to draw His grace to do whatsoever I need to stay right with Him. I realised he truth of His words and put them in practice in my daily life. The more I submit to Him, the more I realise that I am able to accomplish more with less. At the end of the day, I still have so much energy. That's means He worked and it was not my work. This is a miracle and seems illogical to us. Yet it is the truth. In short, this is just a suspension of natural law, but the operation of higher law- Divine Law, so to speak. This is in line with his advocate that we by our means can not add any value to anything, but relying on His grace will make all things possible. He does not insult us, but due to our limited knowledge we are ocasionally blind to the truth.

He made us conquerers so long as we commit to Him wholeheartedly with our minds and souls. We will then achieve so much more in our life, do you agree?

As such, let us stay united through Him and let Him guides us to make our mission a reality so as to glorify Him and not us. Let His mission shines through the message of Christ and let us be used by Him as His vessels to do His will at the end of the day.

I look forward to getting to know you and your experience.

Your chief Servant,

OUR BELATED LOVING DATO' FATHER'S JULIEN - 7TH ANNIVERSALLY AT SEPT 11, 2011

2011-09-03T08:17:00.000-07:00

A very warm welcome to this uplifting blog,

As September 11 is approaching soon, many of us may recall the memorable day when the US was attacked by terrorists in her homeland where many thousands of innocent people were killed.

On the other hand, that day also reminded me of a great figure, Dato' Father A. Julien ( Feb 25, 1917 - Sept 11, 2004) who was called back to the Lord on Sept 11, 2004. See the photo yourself.

As such, this Sept 11, 2011 is coming to be his 7th anniversary. Thousands of people turned up during his funeral and many still remember him for life. I write about him, not because both of us have the same birthday or his Chinese name is the same as my Chinese sir name. But far more than these commonalities we both have. Please read further, you will then discover how he had impacted my life.

To read more about his background, please click the link below:-

He had touched many thousands of peoples' heart especially the Chinese community in Malaysia, who did not believe then that he, a foreigner, would set up the Chinese school in foreigner's land. With the grace from the Lord, he was able to sustain and endure all the pains and discomfort during the period when he began to deliver his mission. Thank God that he eventually delivered his mission that turned so many peoples' heart from disbelief to belief. He then gained an honour and was well regarded as a highly respected figure by people from all walks of lives. For those who know him well, will not have a dispute about it. Please come forward to praise him that he so truly deserve.

I can't imagine what many of us would be if he had not built the Chinese school in this land. As such, we are indebted to him very much and wouldn't be able to repay him all of our lives. He had also touched our lives so much and not one of us will forget him. Though he had gone, his spirit remains. He will be remembered forever. It is my great pleasure to have a chance to write a small column in my blog so as to give him an honour he well deserved.

I recalled that he, in his life time, he will always stand by to extend his help to anyone in need. He knew that majority of the students are from poor families and he always gave us encouragement to do better in our lives. He always cultivate good values into our lives. I must say that his motivation and encouragement had really made me do the extra miles. I must thank him for my success, which would not have been achieved without his efforts. He is one of the great people who really had a great impact on my life.

With this in mind, I know there is no way I can pay him back whatsoever he had done for me. At least, I will follow his footstep to give back to the society what I have been benefiting from. The articles which I share with you from day one is also the way I had learnt from him. By doing so, I, at least feel much better by playing my small part to uplift others who may need it. This is another way for me not to put his efforts and actions into waste.

Last but not least, I hope more people will step forward and follow his footsteps to leave a resounding good legacy behind, exactly like what he had done for many of us.

Thanks and together we will make a better tomorrow for the human beings in this planet. His departure is a great loss to Malaysia as a whole, particularly Penang where he had built several schools there.

Though he is gone, his spirit is still with us forever. Thousands of people still remember him despite he had left this planet more than 6 years ago. Our school even built a statue to remember him. No doubt all these things cannot match his contribution to our society as a whole.

His humble personality and smiling face always enlighten us. I must say that He is a man of great honour, who never expect any reward for his good work. By doing so, he gain substantial respect from anyone who had dealt with him one way or the other.

For students, I hope that this article will in some way encourage you to be better persons.

VERY INSPIRING CALL FROM GOD

2011-08-24T22:12:00.000-07:00

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

God : "Hello. Did you call me?"

Me : "Called you? No...who's this?"

God : This is GOD. I heard your prayers. So i thought we'll chat.

Me : I do pray. Just makes me feel good. I' actually busy now. I'm in the midst of something.

God : What are you busy at?

Me : Don't know. But I an't find free time. Life has become hectic. Its rush hour all the time.

God : Sure. Activity gets you busy. But productivity gets you results. Activity consumes time. Productivity frees it.

Me : I understand. But I till can't figure out. By the way, I am not expecting YOU to buzz me.

God : Well, I wanted to resolve your fight for time, by giving you some clarity. In this 21st century era, I wanted to reach you through the medium you are comfortable with.

Me : Tell me, why has life become complicated now?

God : Stop analyzing life. Just live it. Analysis is what makes it complicated.

Me : Why are we then constantly unhappy?

God : Your today is the tomorrow that you worried about yesterday. You are worrying because you are analyzing.
Worrying has become your habit. That's why you are not happy.

Me : But how can we not worry when there is so much uncertainty

God : Uncertainty is inevitable, but worrying is optional

Me : But then, there is so much pain due to uncertainty

God : Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional

Me : If suffering is optional, why do good people always suffer

God : Diamond cannot be polished without friction, Gold cannot be purified without fire. Good people go through trials, but don't suffer. With that experience their lives become better, not bitter

Me : You mean to say such experience is useful

God : Yes. Experience is a hard teacher. She gives the test first and the lesson afterwards.

Me : But still why we go through such tests. Why can't we be free from problems

God : Problems are Purposeful Roadblocks Offering Beneficial Lessons (to) Enchance Mental Strength. Inner strength comes from struggle and endurance, not when you are free from problems

Me : Frankly, in the midst of so many problems, we don't know where we are heading...

God : If you look outside you will not know where you are heading. Look inside. Looking outside, you dream. Looking inside, you awaken. Eyes provide sight. Heart provides insight.

Me : Sometimes, not succesing fast seems to hurt more than moving in the right direction. What should i do?

God : Success is a measure as decided by others. Satisfaction is a measure as decided by you. Knowing the road ahead is more satisfying than knowing you rode ahead. You work with the compass. Let others work with the clock.

Me : In tough time, how do you stay motivated

God : Always look at how far you have come rather than how far you have to go. Always count your blessing, not what you are missing

Me : What suprises you about people

God : When they suffer then ask, "Why me?" When they prosper, they never ask "why me?" Everyone wishes to have the truth on his or her side, but few want to be on the side of the truth

Me : Sometimes I ask, who am I? Why am I here? I can't get the answer

God : Seek not to find who you are, but to determine who you want to be. Stop looking for a purpose as to why you are here. Create it. Life is not a process of discovery but a process of creation.

Me : How can I get the best out of life?

God : Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear

Me : One last question. Sometimes I feel my prayers are not answered.

God : There are no unanswered prayers. At times, the answer is NO

Me : Thank you for your wonderful chat. I am so happy to start the New Day with a new sense of inspiration.

God : Well. Keep faith and drop the fear. Don't believe your doubts and doubt your beliefs. Life is a mystery to solve, not a problem to resolve. Trust me. Life is wonderful if you know how to live.

This is a neat one. . . . . very interesting !

A TWO WAY CONVERSATION of THE LORD'S PRAYER

-----

Read out in a Church in Australia

This is in two parts, the prayer (in blue type) and GOD in response (in red type) . It is very, very good.

*********************************************************************************************

Our Father Who Art In Heaven.

Yes?

Don't interrupt me. I'm praying.

But -- you called ME!

Called you? No, I didn't call you. I'm praying.
Our Father who art in Heaven.

There -- you did it again!

Did what?

Called ME. You said, "Our Father who art in Heaven" Well, here I am.. What's on your mind?

But I didn't mean anything by it. I was, you know, just saying my prayers for the day. I always say the Lord's Prayer. It makes me feel good, kind of like fulfilling a duty. Well, all right.

Go on.

Okay, Hallowed be thy name .

Hold it right there. What do you mean by that?

By what?

By "Hallowed be thy name"?

It means, it means . . good grief, I don't know what it means. How in the world should I know? It's just a part of the prayer.
By the way, what does it mean?

It means honored, holy, wonderful.

Hey, that makes sense..
I never thought about what 'hallowed' meant before.

Thanks.

Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven.

Do you really mean that?

Sure, why not?

What are you doing about it?

Doing? Why, nothing, I guess. I just think it would be kind of neat if you got control, of everything down here like you have up there.. We're kinda in a mess down here you know.

Yes, I know; but, have I got control of you?

Well, I go to church.

That isn't what I asked you. What about your bad temper?
You've really got a problem there, you know. And then there's the way you spend your money -- all on yourself. And what about the kind of books you read?

Now hold on just a minute! Stop picking on me! I'm just as good as some of the rest of those people at church!

Excuse ME.. I thought you were praying for my will to be done. If that is to happen, it will have to start with the ones
who are praying for it. Like you -- for example ....

Oh, all right. I guess I do have some hang-ups. Now that you mention it, I could probably name some others.

So could I.

I haven't thought about it very much until now, but I really would like to cut out some of those things. I would like to, you know, be really free.

Good. Now we're getting somewhere. We'll work together -- You and ME. I'm proud of You.

Look, Lord, if you don't mind, I need to finish up here. This is taking a lot longer than it usually does. Give us this day, our daily bread.

You need to cut out the bread.. You're overweight as it is.

Hey, wait a minute! What is this? Here I was doing my religious duty, and all of a sudden you break in and remind me of all my hang-ups.

Praying is a dangerous thing. You just might get what you ask for. Remember, you called ME -- and here I am. It's too late to stop now. Keep praying. ( pause ... . ) Well, go on.

I'm scared to.

Scared? Of what?

I know what you'll say.

Try ME.

Forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us.

What about Ann?

See? I knew it! I knew you would bring her up! Why, Lord, she's told lies about me, spread stories. She never paid back the money she owes me. I've sworn to get even with her!

But -- your prayer -- What about your prayer?

I didn't -- mean it...

Well, at least you're honest. But, it's quite a load carrying around all that bitterness and resentment isn't it?

Yes, but I'll feel better as soon as I get even with her. Boy, have I got some plans for her. She'll wish she had never been born.

No, you won't feel any better. You'll feel worse. Revenge isn't sweet. You know how unhappy you are -- Well, I can change that.

You can? How?

Forgive Ann. Then, I'll forgive you; And the hate and the sin, will be Ann's problem -- not yours. You will have settled the problem as far as you are concerned.

Oh, you know, you're right. You always are. And more than I want revenge, I want to be right with You . . (sigh). All right, all right . ...I forgive her.

There now! Wonderful! How do you feel?

Hmmmm. Well, not bad. Not bad at all! In fact, I feel pretty great! You know, I don't think I'll go to bed uptight tonight. I haven't been getting much rest, you know.

Yeah, I know. But, you're not through with your prayer, are you? Go on.

Oh, all right. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Good! Good! I'll do that. Just don't put yourself in a place where you can be tempted.

What do you mean by that?

You know what I mean.

Yeah. I know.

Okay. Go ahead. Finish your prayer..

For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen.

Do you know what would bring me glory -- What would really make me happy?

No, but I'd like to know. I want to please you now.. I've really made a mess of things. I want to truly follow you.. I can see now how great that would be. So, tell me . . . How do I make you happy?

YOU just did.

SOUL SEARCHING JOURNEY

2011-08-11T20:07:00.000-07:00

Hi! Friends,
It is a common mistake that we need to spend so much of time focused on building relationships with other people in order to achieve Success. What is the most important relationship of all, which is always more than often neglect is the relationship with our own self.

At this point you might ask yourself, what am I talking about? Though I'm with myself 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, however, I know very little about my own self until I have been transformed by my own soul searching journey couple of years ago.

Prior to this, I must admit that I am just like majority of people who are so worked up in their own lives that they've forgotten who they truly are. When someone asks me to introduce myself, I normally respond by telling him what I do or where I live? These are certainly important aspects of my life, but do not truly reflect me.

I often identify myself with my roles or my career that I often lose track of myself. I do not know whether you have discovered your true self or not? At that time I forgot who I wanted to be, what I truly dreamt of becoming, what I love and value. In effect, I've forgotten my "self." You may be wondering what "self" we're referring to here.

I have buried my authentic self so as to please other people, or to look good AND to be socially acceptable. To me, the effort to maintain this image not only requires too much energy, yet it is both draining and self-defeating. It took me lots of courage and time to step free of the scripted life I've been living and embark on my journey to search for who I am really in the depth of my being. I slowly peel away everything that is not essential and discover my authentic identity. I reclaimed the person the Creator truly wants of me and I find the journey very fulfilling and truly free. With the help from God that I am being transformed and rediscovered my true self. Without believing in God, I would not be able to do it by my own ability.

I remember what's most important in my life - I live for a specific purpose and love to live a meaningful life. Remember my hopes and dreams. Discover or rediscover my deepest yearnings. in order to do this, I embarked on a psychological search-and-rescue mission or soul searching journey to comb back through my life and recover my joy, wisdom, passion, enthusiasm, self-confidence, vitality - the threads of my true self that I had lost along the way.

I took my courage, commitment and perseverance to craft the life I love, most of which I have now. I share this with you with the objective that you too will make the call now to be your authentic self. I am now persistently connecting with my authentic self and reclaiming my true joys and passions that made me able to share with you all these while.

Since then I never regret and am able to do and achieve much more with less. That's something I would never have thought off and contradicted my initial belief. I also realise that I am able to do something what I would never have thought I could do. Amazingly awesome.

Folks, what I share now are something real and deeply inside me that would not be revealed unless the person is being transformed.

God Bless you all.

HOW TO PUBLISH EBOOK

2011-06-24T01:45:00.000-07:00

Hi, Brother,
Some of you may know by now I have intended to publish Ebook with some of my writings. In this connection, I have read the article with so much excitement and hope you will like it too. Who knows, you may have similar interest as mine.

Even if you do not have such an interest currently, it does not mean that you will not have it in the future. Having this in mind, I rather chose to blog it out to excite us as well. I do not have such an experience to comment on it. What I need is perhaps some feedbacks from you especially those willing to share some of their experience here.

Better still, if anyone is willing to collaborate with me to publish an Ebook on any matters which you and I have the common interests. As you know, I always love to hear from you so that we can explore all means to make the proposal feasible and beneficial to both parties.

My experience tells me that through brainstorming and discussion, we can always put the ideas to work. Through constantly shaping and polishing this idea, it will eventually shine so long as we do not give up such a hope. Let our endurance and patience complete the task. We will be able to produce a masterpiece at the end of the day.

I do hope you are by now you feel excited and are willing to give yourself a try, as I do. Please do put forward your comment should you have any other idea, proposal or experience where you like to share here. Thank you in advance.

Have a fruitful day everyday,

How to Publish an Ebook

Posted by Gary on May 2nd, 2011 / 3 Comments

How to Self-Publish Your Ebook

Every day I receive multiple requests from authors around the world who are looking for assistance or more information on how to self-publish an ebook.

And the answer today is very different than when our Publish Your Own Ebooks website started back in 2003.

Then, your best option was to get your ebook into PDF and start selling it from your own web site. While you can and should still do that today, if you want to be taken seriously as an independent author then you must also make your ebooks available at mainstream ebook stores such as Amazon Kindle Store that have emerged in recent years.

I’m very close to releasing a new ebook self-publishing guide but until it is ready I wanted to post a quick overview of the ebook self-publishing process and some of your options.

If you want to publish your own ebook then you need to consider the main online ebook stores where readers are buying and downloading ebooks. The four big stores right now are Amazon Kindle Store, Barnes & Noble Nook Books, Apple iBookstore, and Sony Reader Store. There are a few others to consider, but let’s keep this discussion to these four.

How to Get Your Ebook into these Stores?

Each of the major ebook stores has a portal for publishers to upload and manage their books. Remember as an indie author you are the author and the publisher.

You can choose to go to each store and publish your ebook directly or you can go through a distributor, sometimes called an ‘aggregator’.

An aggregator typically converts your manuscript into multiple formats and distributes your ebook to one or more stores on your behalf.

Some of the ebook aggregators commonly used by authors include Smashwords, BookBaby, and LuLu. They earn their income by a combination of upfront fees and annual fees for each ebook, or a percentage of the sales revenue from your ebook.

The process for publishing directly is different for each store and many authors use a combination, publishing directly to some stores while using an aggregator for the others.

Why Use an Aggregator?

One of the main reasons to use an ebook aggregator is to get assistance with converting your manuscript into the correct format. Amazon sells ebooks in their own proprietary Kindle format, AZW while the other stores use the EPUB format. There are sometimes complications encountered while trying to convert your manuscript from Microsoft Word into the appropriate format.

You may also decide to use an aggregator because you can’t meet the requirements to submit directly. Sony encourages indie authors to submit through an aggregator. Some stores require you to have a U.S. Tax ID or U.S. bank account if you want to publish directly. And in Apple’s case you need to submit from a Mac computer. Using an aggregator is a way to work around these obstacles.

Why Publish Directly?

Generally speaking it makes sense to deal directly if you can because you will save on costs and more of the profit from your ebooks will end up in your pocket.

If you are familiar with HTML you can probably handle the necessary formatting to successfully convert your manuscript to the appropriate ebook formats.

Getting Ready to Publish

Whether you publish directly or through an aggregator you will need to gather some important information for the submission process:

• Book Title

• Book Description – you need a professional-looking book description.

• Ebook Cover – when your ebook sells in online stores it needs a cover image.

• Price – decide on the price that you will charge. Sometimes different prices result in different royalty percentages so choose carefully.

• Territories – you need to know which geographical territories you hold the rights for your ebook. If your ebook is an unpublished work then most likely you still hold rights for all territories.

• ISBN number. You need an ISBN number at some ebook stores but not at others.

ISBNs for ebooks, ebook covers and pricing are all important topics which will be covered in detail in other posts.

As I mentioned at the beginning of this post, this is only a very brief overview of the self-publishing process and some of your options. I’ll go into more detail in future posts and be sure to watch out for our new ebook self-publishing guide which will be available here soon.

Please, if you found this post helpful, take a moment to share the link to it via Twitter, Facebook or your favorite social media buttons below.

TIME TO REFLECT

2011-06-14T06:06:00.000-07:00

Reflection time...... the journey He willingly made;

the price He willingly paid ............all because He thought of YOU,

May you EXPERIENCE His Love and be REFRESHED.........

Beloved of the Lord!

TIME TO REFLECT

Very happy day to you,

Technology makes life much better, if we use it appropriately. It makes sending Ecard just at a click of your finger. How you usually response if you receive Ecard from someone from far distance? Tell us your immediate reaction. As you know, I always love to hear from you.

My immediate response is to see who send me the greeting/card. Then, I will read its message. I will find its meaning and remember and apply it in my life so that I can understand what it is truly means. Here, you may see how Confucius have a great impact in my life. One of his famous sayings, I see I forget, I read I forget, I do I understand. Thereafter I always put it into practice. To me, it will then add value so that I can truly benefit from it.

Some of you may wonder why I keep on trying all the above. This is because lately I received the above meaningful and lovely Ecard, from one of my social network buddy friends who is from a distant land. I must say that I love this card very much and replied him with a Big thanks. It serves as a healthy reminder to me and it is also part of my habit to constantly take time to reflect. To me, reviewing is an healthy exercise for me to plan forward. If not, how can I learn although some of you may have different ways of learning. Hope you can open up and share with us here by putting forward your feedback on the comments provided below.

Besides thanking him, I also promised him a short reply. After giving it a deep thought, it gives me an idea to write a post. Below I will try to share with you why I do so, that's how I make constructive assessment, how I plan to take it further and what changes I need to make, what strategy I need to use and how to make use of the available resources to optimise my yield. Caution must be taken so that you don't let the past hold you back and let yourself sink in the bitterness. Here, I also love to learn how you make good use of it. Thank you.

As you know, I used to share some of my experienece which may help someone, who like me live in the darkest moments, but was saved from the books I read and the people I associated with. And now, I think it is appropriate for me to the same, as a way to return back those benefits I have been receiving all this while.

One important point I need to stress here is that I find this technique extremely useful and wanted you to see its relevance in our life. I must admit that I benefited from a lot from it and it has helped me achieve what I am today.

-why I say so

Some of you may wonder why I say so. Those who know my background will know that I was living in a life full of scarcity. This environment has helped to mould me to seek better ways and means to improve it further. As such, I view this process of time to reflect extremely important to me and I have been benefiting from it so much. That's the reason I am still occasionally occupied with it until today. As my life goes on, I discovered that I have so many interests and dreams to accomplish. I never wanted to let go of any of them and decided to take it one at a time. One thing I noted that I am very blessed with and always have the energy to sustain and maintain my strong desire to excel in the field I am involved. This is the way that has helped me to be more observant and lead me to discover additional technique from time to time that is required to build the edge I need to make more meaningful things happened in my life. Thank God for making me enjoy the walk of my journey to take up the new challenges.

- that's how I make constructive assessment (Benchmarking)

And I also realized that success is a journey and I need to do an assessment of my achievement constantly. This is to ensure that my monitoring of my progress and ensure that it is on the right track and progress toward my desired end. As far as I am concern, I am more inclined to be achievement base. I tend to compare what I can do now compared to myself previously in all aspects, be it financial, skill, expertise and spiritual resources. I hate to compare myself to others, which I feel is an insult to myself if I were to do so. This healthy comparison save me time and prevents me from indulging into other unhealthy activities.

- how I plan to take it further

From the feedback of my above assessment, I will then plan out my next course of action. This process will continue until I achieved my desired result before I take up my other dream and interest. Please share with me how you cope up with your challenges and I love to learn from you too. From time to time, I will continue to make such an assessment, when I deem fit. At times, I even make some changes, if appropriate when it fits well to that situation. Here, I can say that I have a plan, which allows some flexibility.

- what strategy I need to use

At times, I am not only make some changes, but I also change my existing strategy, when I deemed it appropriate. One crucial point I need to caution you is that no strategy will be obsolete, but the question is whether it applies at the right timing or not. If you don't agree, please do voice out your rationales. A good strategy is when it bears fruit and it is so much better when you apply it at the right time and circumstances. To gauge the right timing, you need the appropriate resources to do so and not based on luck. In this connection, I hope you do know what I mean here. Please forward your question if you have any query.

- how to make full use of the available resources to optimise my yield.

And last, but not least I will then think of accelerating its process to obtain its maximum benefit. From my past experience, I noticed that in order for me to do so, I need to leverage on others. In short, you can see the contrasting differences between a pipe builder and a bucket carrier. In this context, I would like to say I normally use the strength of others to compliment my weakness so as to achieve more for all of us that involved in that process ( mutual benefits). In this aspect, there are four main areas that we can focus into, namely resources in term of time and energy, ideas, contacts, and expertise. No one will have all and never forget that each of us is unique in its own way. You have your talents, skills, expertise where no other people will be exactly the same as you. Every one of us can excel in our own fields according to our original design that we need to know of. Believe me or not - if we pool all our resources, the success rate is definitely very high and can be assured if we don't give up. The more we will get and this is the original design the Creator has created for us in the first place. There is a saying nothing is impossible if we work together.

I share with you, with the intention to deliver my message, TO INSPIRE AND GET INSPIRED, so as to fan up our desire or inner energy for me to accomplish more, so as to lift all of us up. As our commitment to you is to reward you and to make a better life you need to put all these into practice. Never give up and try to condition yourself by continuously staying tuned, even if you have made it. I do encourage you to do so, so as to fan up your inner flame to be a difference maker and continuously have an extra edge to make a better world for everyone to stay.

I do understand that there are so many routes to success. In this connection, I would always love to hear your success story and please email me if you have such an inspiring story. Thank you.

Here, I wanted to let you know that I never regret for putting up several blogs to share what I have learnt from those who sacrificed to save us. As you know, to keep it for myself is definitely not my style and I dare to share it openly, mainly attributed to so many great persons who have some how made significant impacts on my life, which I thank them greatly for. Otherwise, I can't imagine how my life will be ended with.

Again, I must admit that through sharing of all my experiences, it does flame up my inner desire to inspire others so as to inspire myself at the same time. As I recalled, I have been sharing online and offline constantly to highlight those who have scarified to keep us safe not only to reflect my appreciation of them, but also serve as a model for me to do so, in a way that their efforts are not in vain. To show our care, we should also give our support to them in whatsoever way we could by spreading the good works of them. By doing so, we could give some of us inspiration, hope and courage to make ourselves better, stronger, healthier, bigger, softer and stay alive so as to prepare ourselves for a greater challenge in life.

Thanks for your precious time to read this article and hope to seeing you again and again.

INTERVIEW WITH AUTHOR – C.L . Ragsdale

2011-06-05T22:02:00.000-07:00

INTERVIEW WITH AUTHOR – C.L . Ragsdale

It is a great pleasure to have C.L. Ragsdale review today. A very warm welcome, C.L. and thanks C.L. for giving us the chance to get to know you more and also for allowing us a glimpse of the world that you have created inside your writing. Thank you very much. Let her walk through her profile and book, as appended below, before we kick off the Q + A session.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR - C.L. Ragsdale

C.L. Ragsdale has always loved to read, which lead to her love of a writing. This is a fact her family can confirm as she has driven them crazy over the years with her story ideas. Except for her Father, the only one who had more stories than her. However, it was not until recently that she got serious about the work of writing, and getting the confidence to actually post her works as e-books. Her philosophy of writing is simple, brief, character driver and sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ in an entertaining way.

C.L. Ragsdale is the author of the books below.

AVAILABLE ON KINDLE NOW!

1. The Mystery of Hurtleberry House (The Reboot Files #1)

2. The Island of Living Trees (The Reboot Files #2)

Q &A portion:

James: When did you begin to write?

CL : I started writing in my teenage years, which was an outgrowth of my love of reading. But also being lazy, I would come up with a concept, write various scenes, and then give up because it just seemed that writing was such hard work. Then one day, I sat down and put the full story together and found out I was right. Writing is hard work, but I love it which makes it much easier to deal with.

James : What make you to think of publishing a book to share with others and at the same time encourage others to share their faiths? So far what is your worst criticism/attacks, and how you overcome it?

CL: Well I really don't think it was my idea. The Holy Spirit just kept bugging me. Being a Christian I decided I should listen and started getting serious about writing. I began to see it as my ministry and made it my goal to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ in an entertaining way. Jesus commanded His followers to share the Gospel, but He also created us to have different talents to get it done. Some are gifted as mighty speakers, some do wonderful good works and others write fiction stories. There’s no size fits all in sharing Gospel, you just have to ask God to show you what He created you to do.

My worst criticism came when I completed my first (unpublished) novel which is not part of The Reboot Files Series. Someone proofed it for me and gave me some scathing criticism about how bad the book was and that maybe writing was not my calling. The person was right in the critical points, but it shook my certainty that this was what the Lord had called me to do. Finally, after much prayer, and I admit a few tears, I revisited the novel and did a rewrite keeping the critical points the person had made in mind. It did help the story, but also convinced me to change from the novel to the novella length which is how I structured The Reboot Files because I just seem to write "short" better.

James: How you come up with title of your books?

CL: I came up with The Reboot Files for the series name because that is what is happening to my main characters Irene Waters and Troy Stenson. Their lives are literally being rebooted by God in a totally different direction than they were planning.

The first book I knew I wanted to give the supposed haunted house a name. After considering and discarding several ideas I settled on a berry name of some sort, but I didn't want it to sound like a child's dollhouse. I liked Huckleberry but it reminded me of a cartoon character, again too cutesy. So I got out a Thesaurus and found the Old English word of Whortleberry, but Whortleberry House didn't sound right. Then I found the alternate word of Hurtleberry which I thought sounded good with House. Since this is a mystery series I called it the Mystery of Hurtleberry House.

The Island of Living Trees is homage to my sister who loves the cheesy horror films that we used to watch on the TV afternoon matinee shows when we were kids. There is a particularly bad one were the premise involves a guy being killed and coming back as a murderous tree to take his revenge on those who wronged him. Believe it or not, it’s worse than it sounds. Now my book has little to do with this movie, really I promise, but the walking tree thing gave me the idea of having a legend of trees walking around an island and turning people into trees. So it became The Island of Living Trees.

James: Can you enlighten us a little more about your books?

CL: It all involves the turn in the fortunes of Irene Waters, a once up and coming Christian television reporter who got involved in a scandal with a married man. Although how she got involved she has no idea as she barely knew the man. This bogus scandal is threatening to ruin her life and career, and has all left her questioning her trust in God. Her employment options being limited she ends up at Reboot, a television station that can only kindly be described as slightly above cable access. She’s teamed with Troy Stenson a talented but reckless cameraman with credibility issues of his own. They are assigned to a cheesy paranormal investigation show called Irene’s Eerie Adventures. Each book will involve a different mystery with a bit of urban legend thrown in. Irene will strengthen her relationship with God and discover that He had a plan all along, although convincing Troy is going to be a bit of work. More humor and fun than chills and thrills.

James: Is there anything else you would like your readers to pay special attention in regards to your book, which you have not mentioned above?

CL: Although Irene and Troy’s adventures are the main focus, there is also the subplot involving The Records Department. This shadowy organization may, or may not, be up to no good. They will not appear in every book in the series, but their manipulations will be felt. Also keep your eye on Bernie Youngman, Reboot's owner as there is definitely more to him than meets the eye.

James: When do you plan to publish your book 2, if applicable.

CL: Book number 3 is called The Harbinger of Retribution (great title huh?). It continues the series with Irene and Troy getting involved in a cursed statue story. I'll be bringing it out in November of 2011.

James : How many volume of books for the above series ?

CL: Well I mapped it out to be seven books, but then I came up with more ideas. Right now I have ten in mind, but that could change. Don't worry, remember they're short books.

James: Tell us your guided principle that governs your life? How you cultivate these values?

CL: Definitely the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Living my life the way He intended and believing in the salvation His Son died to give me. I read the Bible often, go to a Bible teaching church and listen to the smartest person God put in my life, my mother.

James: Is there any other advice which you like to share with our readers?

CL: Talk to God, find out what He has planned for your life, and do it. It’s so much easier that way.

Thank again CL for joining us today. Let us wish her a fulfilling day.

Aleja Bennett was adopted in the early seventies after being abandoned and left in an apartment alone with her older siblings. The Author was only six months old and suffered with pnuemonia shortly after that.

Aleja Bennett was adopted at the age of two years by a woman who was barren. The couple abused, starved, tortured, rejected and neglected Aleja until they threw her to the cold streets at the age of nineteen.

Aleja would not have an abortion as her adopted parent's suggested so she was tossed out to the lonely cold dark streets with no money, clothes, coat or food.

She gave birth to Jessica June 30th 1992 and married in 1994 to a drug addict who stole and robbed her soul just as her adopted parents did. She looked for love in all the wrong places while alcohol absorbed all of the pain she kept a secret.

Aleja did seek help from the grandmother Of Jessica and she then manipulated and kept Jessica away from her mother after all Aleja had was her children.

The other two children are with a drug addict Aunt which is the ex husbands sister. Aleja has one in her life and Jessica has two books while her mother Aleja Bennett has eight in total.

6 Thoughts Deeply Rooted Within Me http://createspace.com/3513834

Q & A portion:

James: Perhaps you may share with us your feeling when you first meet up your daughter at your first reunion.

Aleja : I was very excited, happy and over joyed and had already cried on the long bus ride to her college in Wisconsin.

James: When did you begin to write?

Aleja : At the age of 25 while walking into my first A.A. meeting they gave me a key chain and it printed the words being alive which was my very first poem written

James : What make you to think of publishing a book to share with others ? So far what is your worst criticism/ attacks and how you overcome it.

Aleja: Over coming and surviving being an unwanted adopted child. Having the courage to remain standing through all the turmoil living with this strange family. No criticism attacks yet so I guess that is a plus for me.

James: Where do you get the courage to do so?

Aleja: Only God because the flesh is so weak and wanted to give up so many times but he kept whispering Aleja I love you and you will rise above this abuse and help others with your writing and singing.

James: Can you enlighten us a little more about your books?

Aleja: I have eight books in total and they are a variety of poetry, love, strength, self help, spirituality, romance, passion, struggle, triumph, courage, bravery, empowerment, recovery and all that life may throw our way. I have written books that go in to my abuse and how I have survived it. It took a strong will to live, forgive, love and be loved.

James: Is there anything else you would like your readers to pay special attention in regards to your book, which you have not mentioned above?

Aleja: My books are suitable for all ages except some of the love poems that would be more appropriate for older adults, couples and married partners. I write to heal a hurting nation from all the chaos that goes on from childhood. A child is suppose to be taken care of but often they are abused and take off living a life that can be harmful to them. My books can put a stop to the hopeless, powerless, addict, alcoholic and the depressed.

James: When do you plan to publish your book 2.

Aleja: All 8 books are published

James : How many volume of books for the above series, if applicable ?

Aleja: 2 series for All I Can Do Is Stand and the other six are inspirational poems

James: Tell us your guided principle that governs your life? How you cultivate these values?

Aleja: God governs my life because without him there would be no Aleja, love, forgiveness and healing also governs my life. I cultivate them in my books, groups, singing and also to my daughter

James: Any other advice which you like to share with our readers ?

Aleja: June 24th 5:30-6pm I will be on blog talk radio show and I love to interact with people even though I'm busy at times. I have groups on Face Book and a fan page soon a toll free number to reach out and talk to me live. God bless you all, I love you and God does too.

Thank again Aleja Bennett for joining us today. Let us wish her a Success.

WE LIKE TO HEAR FROM YOU

2011-06-03T23:13:00.000-07:00

A very warm welcome to you here.

Lately, I am wondering how I can take my blog further. It struck my mind to revert to you for your honest answers.

As such, I believe that it is appropriate for me to request you to review my blog in these three areas namely its content, quality and frequency. I fully acknowledged and accepted the fact that content is the highlight of the blog. It’s the reason why you visit my blog and why you keep coming back. As such it’s important for me to have consistency in both the quality of my content and the frequency in which I have been posting all this while. In this connection, your honest feedback is solicited on whether some of tips I know and share is attractive enough.

First thing first, please put a rating from 1 to 10 for the following :-

• Did my content create value. Please give the rating 1( very poor) to 10 (excellent)

Perhaps you may just use another fancy way of asking whether my content is amazingly interesting. All of my posts,which have intention to give readers a worthwhile reason for reading. In short, are you getting something back and at the end of day, are you being lifted up as the name suggested. If not, how?

• Frequently posted.

I update my blog on a regular basis to give you reason to come back to my site. The plan is to update my blog at least once or twice a week, having in mind that quality is more important than quantity. This is because I believe that taking a couple of days off between posts can help me write a better post in the long run.

• My content is readable.

I am mindful that writing a blog is much different than writing a book or paper. This is because you, as online readers, have relatively shorter attention spans and more specific needs are preferred. Here, what I am trying to say is that I never pick colors fonts that will strain the visitor’s eyes. If I do, I like to apologise for it.

I also always ensure that my writing is easy to read. I prefer short paragraphs, using lists or bullet points, bolding or underlining important text when it is appropriate for me to do so. Do you agree?

Keeping enough white space in between lines and words is my style. Most of the times, I try to avoid typing up huge walls of text. At times, images and videos are included, where appropriate, to give readers something to look at. Here, I believe prosperity through diversity and always looking at new avenues to improve it further.

At last, but not least, I never felt discouraged when I work hard on a post even though no one pays attention to it. I am aware that growing a blog takes time. No one appreciate it now, does not mean that it will not be appreciated in the future. This is because once I grow, more people will look through my older posts and will see my hard work! Alternatively it will give me a chance to improve it further.

Stay tuned and I will work on my design and with my next post, I will discuss blog networking

OPRAH WINFREY AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE SERVANT LEADERSHIP

2011-05-28T01:21:00.000-07:00

Very happy day, Everyone

The news recently that Hollywood's A-list celebrities bid a star-studded farewell to Oprah Winfrey in a double-taping of her talk show that included messages from her fans around the world is worthy of praise and commendation. Have you ever ponder that the lady, without holding any key position, yet command such a high respect from all walk of lives? If you do, then what is her success recipe?

Today, I like to say it was mainly attributable from her servant leadership style. Some of you may wonder why I say so. She has a deep true passion to serve people with unconditional love. She showed love without looking at colour because love is colourless, well recorded in most, if not all true religious teaching.

No surprise to me that she was recently voted as the world the Number 1 most influencial lady. I can feel the love at her show at Chicago's United Center on May 17, 2011 night, which she almost instantly thank them for it. For those who have attended such shows, please step forward to vouch for it. She thanks everyone for being a part of this celebration, which is still gaining momentum even it has been for 25 years. Amazing, right?

One important point to be noted at that function is that 13,000 of her fans, who attended that event gave the talk show host a standing ovation. A respect she truly deserved and earned.

The show was also followed by several meaningful and colourful programmes. Those who already know her well will not dispute that her graceful acts always inspire and touch every heart & soul. She rally can rock the world, she will fight for things she believes in, even if it makes her less popular. Thus, she makes herself distinctly different from other leaders. She had truly build a long lasting legacy which will flourish from time to time.

You can imagine how wonderful and colourful the atmosphere on that night, surrounded by so many great songs such as Mission Impossible, For God, Somewhere Over the Rainbow and Isn't She Lovely, to portray well the lady who uses her gifts to uplift so many hearts, through all of the sacrifices she has made, humility she has and through God's amazing grace.

This well illustrate the point that this long proven and established success recipe is not obsolete, but still relevant in the 21 century and in the future which I strongly believe so.

This truly inspired me and I hope you too are inspired by her. Let us together urge all world leaders to prescribe to her recipe of success, Servant Leadership, to make a world a very much better place to stay. So, let us put her excellent leadership on record for us to adopt and apply. Let us work together to make it a reality. This is nothing impossible if we work together towards it.

Thank you for your precious time and look forward to hearing your feedback.

ROAD TO BEAUTIFUL ; A JOURNEY OF HOPE DETAILING HIS JOURNEY OF BATTLING THE DISEASE

2011-05-26T01:40:00.000-07:00

ROAD TO BEAUTIFUL ; A JOURNEY OF HOPE DETAILING HIS JOURNEY OF BATTLING THE DISEASE

A very warm welcome to you here.

It is of great pleasure for me to share this book, ROAD TO BEAUTIFUL : A JOURNEY OF HOPE DETAILING HIS JOURNEY OF BATTLING THE DISEASE, if somehow you have missed the news.

This book chronicles a man, none other than Gerard Khaw's battle with cancer. He, a Penangite, survived the ordeal and journalised his journey into this book. He still survives till today despite he was told by doctors five years ago that he only had 10% chance of surviving nose cancer. Subsequently, doctors removed 60% of his liver that had tumours, after the cancer cells spread to his liver there years later.

It was amazingly awesome for him to pursue an off-campus Masters in Business Administration programme from the University of South Australia in 2009 and completed it in March this year while going through cancer treatment. Here, I am very certain that you too like to find out his secret of success.

The author, in his 40s, confessed that he managed to act against all the odds through the grace of God. He too admitted that he received full support from his wife Gloria, his two children Isabelle, 10, Jeanelle, 9, and friends during the launch of his book at Canton Square on last Sunday.

In this connection, I also like to reattest my testimony to glorify God that His grace is sufficient for us to overcome any and every barrier we encountered in our lives so long as we have faith and not to lose hope, as reaffirmed by the above author. This undeniable truth is not anything new and it has been affirmed by the past, current and future witnesses and is well reaffirmed in the Scriptures.

Another good news is that the above book priced at RM 30 will soon be made available in major bookstores nationwide. As such, it is a very well rewarding book to read, very much more than its cost.

For those who have read this book, you are more than welcome to voice out your feedback so as to inspire others as well. Great thanks to you. Please do not stop here, but do spread this good news to your circle of friends so as to inspire others as well to show your care and love.

Have a blessed day everyday,

James Oh

THE QUESTION ARISES FROM THE MOVIES OF THE LOST OF BLADESMAN

2011-05-22T07:30:00.000-07:00

THE QUESTION ARISES FROM THE MOVIES OF THE LOST OF BLADESMAN

This morning, I received a revelation from the movie entitled "The Lost of Bladesman" which I watched yesterday after my bible discussion with a group of friends. Kuan Kew is my childhood's hero. I must admit that this man of principle has a great impact on my life despite the fact that I know some people who regarded him as a fool to have died for his guided principle. After I accepted Christ as my Savior, I realized lots of similarity to the warriors of Jesus as recorded in the scripture. All the warriors conquered the fear of death to serve the Mighty God they loved and served.

In this movie, two main contrasting characters, one of Kuan Yew and the other of Cao Cao can be seen. It is still relevant and applicable in today's modern technological era. This story recorded two different approaches taken by both of them to bring peace to the world.

CAO CAO
was a smart manipulator and used all his talents for wrong cause to achieve a "huge success" based on worldly standards. He manipulated every one for his advancement and became a powerful Prime Minister, under a weak emperor of his country. He was the only one, who is permitted to carry a sword in the palace. He was exempted from kneeling and bowing (as a respect to their Majesties in the past) his head to the emperor. However he expected the rest of the officials to abide to the rule of law, but he was above the rule - that annoyed Kuan Kew. All the officials, at that time, feared him, except Kuan Yew, due to his cruelty to do anything to those who disobeys him. But the truth is that he had never gained respect from the Chinese community. His legacy collapsed almost immediately upon his death. You can see this truth still happened in today's modern world. This reaffirmation of the fact that history repeats itself.

It is vividly demonstrated that compelling people to do things out of fear, will never last. This have been well recorded in the history books and reaffirmed in the Scriptures as well. Yet even the smartest Alex will always make the same mistake, from the past to the present and even to the future.

KUAN YEW
on the other hand was a real brave warrior, who fought for brotherhood; loyalty and steadfastness for principles, justice and righteousness. No surprise, that he was well regarded in the Chinese community as a great hero even though he had died in a horrible condition. He was beheaded. However, subsequent to his death, the Chinese community raised him as a saint, who had conquered death and was set free to fight for justice and righteousness. His actions well demonstrated his good cause - "in the name of peace and harmony for his nation" without any hidden agenda.

This movie recorded the hassles he has to go through to exit from Cao Cao's nation and join Liu Pei, a weaker nation which intended to prevent Cao Cao from advancement. He had great foresight and vision that enabled him to see the Cao Cao's nation lack of love. What prove him right is that the mighty nation under Cao Cao did not last long.

His bold action to follow his conscience in serving Liu Pei, rather than Cao Cao, led me to leave behind an excellent legacy that last for more than two thousand years. Till to-date, he is still well respected hero from the people who live two thousand years after him. I believe that such an honour will last over time. This is simply because righteousness always prevails over time. The price he paid for such a honour is a great one too - he died in horrified manner (beheaded); yet people subsequently raised his status as Saint, who chose to fight against the evil force.

Here, I like to draw the analogy between him and Aspotle Paul. Both of them chose to forgo their promising and rewarding career as high ranking officials but press on to pursue for justice and righteousness so to speak - A real and true warrior. Kuan Yew initially served the Prime Minister, Cao Cao. Similarly the Aspotle Paul who was trained by and served the Phraisee before Jesus touched and transformed him and made him overcome his false belief.

When both of them realized their un-reconciled differences with their initial beliefs, they made a U turn, which made them seem like rebellions, a very thin distinction between a hero and a rebel. You can see vividly how irrational for them to do so by foregoing such a promising and rewarding career as high ranking officials at their initial camps. In this connection, please put forward your thought should you come to different conclusion as I did. Thank you in advance for your kind thoughts.

However, there is a difference between both of them. The former seems to have no choice, but continuously fight so as to defend advancement from Cao Cao despite his acknowledgement of the truth that a war will never end the war. Whereas, the latter chose to use Word, against swords or bullets, to bring righteousness to MIGHTY GOD

This movie was selected from a chapter of the THREE KINGDOM

Conclusion
We can select two different definitions of success from the above story. The worldly success of Cao Cao who used unjustifiable means to achieve temporary nature of success while Kuan Yew's success
is of a permanent nature, but may seem as a failure based on worldly standards. However, the latter’s good legacy will prevail and last but not the former.

Trust the above story give us a clear picture of choice we need to opt for.

To your success,

The truth will prevail; no matter how you conceal it.

My Utmost for His Highest

2011-05-18T22:14:00.000-07:00

My Utmost for His Highest: Traditional Updated Edition (My Utmost for His Highest)

by Oswald Chambers

My dear readers,

No surprise to me that this book has received a remarkably high score of 4.36, out of 5.00 from 1,625 ratings and 191 reviews .

With humor and humility, Chambers speaks plainly to the common man struggling with devotion to Christ in daily living. Worldly cares and self-serving desires begin to lose their appeal as Chambers aides the reader in transforming his mind by viewing life through the instruction of God's Word. Richard Halverson, former chaplain of the United States Senate, attests to this: "no book except the Bible has influenced my walk with Christ at such deep maturing levels." This is Chambers's chief desire, directing the reader to "shut out every other consideration and keep yourself before God for this one thing only--My Utmost for His Highest... determined to be absolutely and entirely for Him and for Him alone." --Jill Heatherly

With the brief introduction and attestments from others, I strongly suggest this book be read especially for those who seek soul searching journey to excel in work for His Highest, as the name of the book suggested.

At last, but not least, I would like to throw the ball to your court for you to revert your feedback after you have read this book. Happy reading and look forward to your feedback.

Together we work together to serve His highest.

To your success,

James Oh

MAGNOLIAS..........By Edna Ellison

I spent the week before my daughter's June wedding running last-minute trips to the caterer, florist, tuxedo shop, and the church about forty miles away.

As happy as I was that Patsy was marrying a good Christian young man, I felt laden with responsibilities as I watched my budget dwindle . ...

So many details, so many bills, and so little time. My son Jack was away at college, but he said he would be there to walk his younger sister down the aisle, taking the place of his dad who had died a few years before. He teased Patsy, saying he'd wanted to give her away since she was about three years old!

To save money, I gathered blossoms from several friends who had large magnolia trees. Their luscious, creamy-white blooms and slick green leaves would make beautiful arrangements against the rich dark wood inside the church.

After the rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding, we banked the podium area and choir loft with magnolias. As we left just before midnight, I felt tired but satisfied this would be the best wedding any bride had ever had! The music, the ceremony, the reception - and especially the flowers - would be remembered for years.

The big day arrived - the busiest day of my life - and while her bridesmaids helped Patsy to dress, her fiance Tim walked with me to the sanctuary to do a final check. When we opened the door and felt a rush of hot air, I almost fainted; and then I saw them - all the beautiful white flowers were black. Funeral black. An electrical storm during the night had knocked out the air conditioning system, and on that hot summer day, the flowers had wilted and died.

I panicked, knowing I didn't have time to drive back to our hometown, gather more flowers, and return in time for the wedding.

Tim turned to me. 'Edna, can you get more flowers? I'll throw away these dead ones and put fresh flowers in these arrangements.'
I mumbled, 'Sure,' as he be-bopped down the hall to put on his cuff links.

Alone in the large sanctuary, I looked up at the dark wooden beams in the arched ceiling. 'Lord,' I prayed, 'please help me. I don't know anyone in this town. Help me find someone willing to give me flowers - in a hurry!'

I scurried out praying for four things: the blessing of white magnolias, courage to find them in an unfamiliar yard, safety from any dog that may bite my leg, and a nice person who would not get out a shotgun when I asked to cut his tree to shreds.

As I left the church, I saw magnolia trees in the distance.. I approached a house...No dog in sight. I knocked on the door and an older man answered. So far so good. No shotgun.

When I stated my plea the man beamed, 'I'd be happy to!'

He climbed a stepladder and cut large boughs and handed them down to me. Minutes later, as I lifted the last armload into my car trunk, I said, 'Sir, you've made the mother of a bride happy today.'
'No, Ma'am,' he said. 'You don't understand what's happening here.'
'What?' I asked.
'You see, my wife of sixty-seven years died on Monday. On Tuesday I received friends at the funeral home, and on Wednesday. He paused. I saw tears welling up in his eyes. 'On Wednesday I buried her.' He looked away. 'On Thursday most of my out-of-town relatives went back home, and on Friday - yesterday - my children left.'
I nodded.
'This morning,' he continued, 'I was sitting in my den crying out loud. I miss her so much. For the last sixteen years, as her health got worse, she needed me. But now nobody needs me. This morning I cried, 'Who needs an eighty-six-year-old wore-out man? Nobody!' I began to cry louder. 'Nobody needs me!' About that time, you knocked, and said, 'Sir, I need you.'
I stood with my mouth open.
He asked, 'Are you an angel? The way the light shone around your head into my dark living room...'
I assured him I was no angel.
He smiled. 'Do you know what I was thinking when I handed you those magnolias?'
'No.'
'I decided I'm needed. My flowers are needed. Why, I might have a flower ministry! I could give them to everyone! Some caskets at the funeral home have no flowers. People need flowers at times like that and I have lots of them. They're all over the backyard! I can give them to hospitals, churches - all sorts of places. You know what I'm going to do? I'm going to serve the Lord until the day He calls me home!'

I drove back to the church, filled with wonder. On Patsy's wedding day, if anyone had asked me to encourage someone who was hurting, I would have said, 'Forget it! It's my only daughter's wedding, for goodness' sake! There is no way I can minister to anyone today.'

But God found a way. Through dead flowers.

'Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is. The way you cope with it is what makes the difference.'

If you have missed knowing me, you have missed nothing. If you have missed some of my emails, you may have missed a laugh. But, if you have missed knowing my LORD and SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST, you have missed everything in the world.

May God's blessings be upon you.

THIS IS SO TRUE, BEING NEEDED IS SO UPLIFTING TO EACH OF US...

EMBRACE UNCERTAIN MINDSET

2011-04-13T21:30:00.000-07:00

Change is unavoidable, so is uncertainty.
Uncertainty is a permanent part of our lives.
No surprise that we rarely say that we are certain.
Despite some times we are certain.

Life is a choice.
As such, we are consistently called to make decisions,
directly or indirectly, knowingly or unknowingly.
That is reality
yet we are constantly making these decisions with limited intelligence.

It is the truth,
yet most of the times, we refuse to accept it.
We are always naive and do not submit to this truth.
Is it because of our pride ?
or is it of something else.

We can never find the answer,
unless we learn to embrace the fact of not knowing everything.

Even the great leaders lead without knowing it all.
Great leaders do not eliminate uncertainty, but learn to navigate through it.
Great leaders lead despite the shadows of uncertainty.

Great leaders recognize that clarity of vision is more important than certainty of the outcome.
Every day, we are expected to make decisions regarding our business, our relationships, our marketing, our ideas, and our strategies.
These decisions are made even though we don’t always have the answers.

I guess this is life.
If we knew everything that was going to happen, we would not need to experience it.
Without such an experience,
There would be nothing to attain, achieve or acquire.

One thing is certain.
Whether you have been and what you have done in the past.
Where we are going is always new, and most often uncertain.

As such, what is the point of worrying of the future.
Just take it as it comes.
Live your life and enjoy every moment of it.
To live, we need to lead within.

YOU HAVE TO THIS!!!

God Said NO!!
I hope that you can get the effects on your computers!
The words are great, but the movements of the faces add a lot....

I asked God to take away my habit.

God said, No.

It is not for me to take away,
but for you to give it up.

I asked God to make my handicapped child whole.
God said, No.
His spirit is whole, his body is only temporary.

I asked God to grant me patience.

God said, No. Patience is a byproduct of tribulations;
it isn't granted, it is learned.

I asked God to give me happiness..

God said, No.

I give you blessings;
Happiness is up to you.

I asked God to spare me pain.

God said, No.
Suffering draws you apart from
worldly cares
and brings you closer to me.

I asked God to make my spirit grow.
God said, No.
You must grow on your own,
but I will prune you to make you fruitful.

I asked God for all things
that I might enjoy life.

God said, No.
I will give you life,
so that you may enjoy all things.

I asked God to help me LOVE others, as much as He loves me.
God said... Ahhhh,
finally you have the idea.

If you love God, share this to as many people as possible.

THIS DAY IS YOURS
DON'T THROW IT AWAY

May God Bless You,

'To the world you might be one person,
But to one person you just might be the world'

'May the Lord Bless you and keep you,
May the Lord Make his face shine upon you,
And give you Peace......Forever'

The Ant and the Contact Lens : a true story

2011-03-28T18:14:00.000-07:00

The story below which I like to share with you is from one of contacts:-

The Ant and the Contact Lens: a true story

Brenda was almost halfway to the top of the tremendous granite cliff. She was standing on a ledge where she was taking a breather during this, her first rock climb. As she rested there, the safety rope snapped against her eye and knocked out her contact lens. 'Great', she thought. 'Here I am on a rock ledge, hundreds of feet from the bottom and hundreds of feet to the top of this cliff, and now my sight is blurry.'

She looked and looked, hoping that somehow it had landed on the ledge. But it just wasn't there.

She felt the panic rising in her, so she began praying. She prayed for calm, and she prayed that she may find her contact lens.

When she got to the top, a friend examined her eye and her clothing for the lens, but it was not to be found. Although she was calm now that she was at the top, she was saddened because she could not clearly see across the range of mountains. She thought of the bible verse 'The eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth.'

She thought, 'Lord, You can see all these mountains. You know every stone and leaf, and You know exactly where my contact lens is. Please help me.'

Later, when they had hiked down the trail to the bottom of the cliff they met another party of climbers just starting up the face of the cliff. One of them shouted out, 'Hey, you guys! Anybody lose a contact lens?'

Well, that would be startling enough, but you know why the climber saw it? An ant was moving slowly across a twig on the face of the rock, carrying it!

The story doesn't end there. Brenda's father is a cartoonist. When she told him the incredible story of the ant, the prayer, and the contact lens, he drew a cartoon of an ant lugging that contact lens with the caption, 'Lord, I don't know why You want me to carry this thing. I can't eat it, and it's awfully heavy. But if this is what You want me to do, I'll carry it for You.'

I think it would do all of us some good to say, 'God, I don't know why You want me to carry this load. I can see no good in it and it's awfully heavy. But, if You want me to carry it, I will.'

God doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies the called.
Yes, I do love GOD. He is my source of existence and my Savior. He keeps me functioning each and every day Without Him, I am nothing, but with Him... I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me. (Phil. 4:13)

Amen

USED vs. LOVED

2011-03-18T21:21:00.000-07:00

USED vs. LOVED

While a man was polishing his new car, his 4 yr old son picked up a stone and scratched lines on the side of the car. In anger, the man took the child's hand and hit it many times; not realizing he was using a wrench.

At the hospital, the child lost all his fingers due to multiple fractures. When the child saw his father.....with painful eyes he asked, 'Dad when will my fingers grow back?'

The man was so hurt and speechless; he went back to his car and kicked it a lot of times. Devastated by his own actions ...sitting in front of that car he looked at the scratches; the child had written 'LOVE YOU DAD'.

The next day that man committed suicide. . .. Anger and Love have no limits; choose the latter to have a beautiful, lovely life..... Things are to be used and people are to be loved, But the problem in today's world is that people are used and things are loved...

Be sure to keep this thought in mind: Things are to be used, but People are to be loved ... Be yourself....This is the only day we HAVE. Have a nice day

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.

I'm glad a friend forwarded this to me as a reminder..
If you don't pass this on to anybody, nothing bad will happen; if you do, you will have ministered to someone.

Stay FAITHFUL and be GRATEFUL

REAL STORY - STOP TELLING GOD HOW BIG IS YOUR PROBLEM

2011-03-13T21:01:00.000-07:00

In Phoenix, Arizona, a 26-year-old mother stared down at her 6 year old son, who was dying of terminal leukaemia. Although her heart was filled with sadness, she also had a strong feeling of determination. Like any parent, she wanted her son to grow up and fulfill all his dreams. Now that was no longer possible..

The leukaemia would see to that.But she still wanted her son's dreams to come true. She took her son's hand and asked, "Billy, did you ever think about what you wanted to be once you grew up? Did you ever dream and wish what you would do with your life?"

"Mommy, I always wanted to be a fireman when I grew up."

Mom smiled back and said, "Let's see if we can to make your wish come true." Later that day she went to her local fire department in Phoenix, Arizona, where she met Fireman Bob, who had a heart as big as Phoenix. She explained her son's final wish and asked if it might be possible to give her six-year-old son a ride around the block on a fire engine.

Fireman Bob said, "Look, we can do better than that. If you'll have your son ready at seven o'clock Wednesday morning, we'll make him an honorary fireman for the whole day. He can come down to the fire station, eat with us, go out on all the fire calls, the whole nine yards! And if you'll give us, his sizes, we'll get a real fire uniform for him, with a real fire hat-not a toy one-with the emblem of the Phoenix Fire Department on it, a yellow slicker like we wear and rubber boots. They're all manufactured right here in Phoenix, so we can get them fast."

Three days later Fireman Bob picked up Billy, dressed him in his fire uniform and escorted him from his hospital bed to the waiting hook and ladder truck.

Billy got to sit on the back of the truck and help steer it back to the fire station. He was in heaven.There were three fire calls in Phoenix that day and Billy got to go out on all three calls. He rode in the different fire engines, the paramedic's van, and even the fire chief's car.He was also videotaped for the local news program.

Having his dream come true, with all the love and attention that was lavished upon him, so deeply touched Billy that he lived three months longer than any doctor thought possible. One night all of his vital signs began to drop dramatically and the head nurse, who believed in the hospice concept that no one should die alone, began to call the family members to the hospital.

Then she remembered the day Billy had spent as a fireman, so she called the Fire Chief and asked if it would be possible to send a fireman in uniform to the hospital to be with Billy as he made his transition.

The chief replied, "We can do better than that. We'll be there in five minutes. Will you please do me a favour? When you hear the sirens screaming and see the lights flashing, will you announce over the PA system that there is not a fire? It's just the fire department coming to see one of its finest members one more time. And will you open the window to his room?"

About five minutes later a hook and ladder truck arrived at the hospital and extended its ladder up to Billy's third floor open window. 16 fire-fighters climbed up the ladder into Billy's room. With his mother's permission, they hugged him and held him and told him how much they loved him.

With his dying breath, Billy looked up at the fire chief and said, "Chief, am I really a fireman now?"

"Billy, you are, and the Head Chief, Jesus, is holding your hand," the chief said.

With those words, Billy smiled and said, "I know, He's been holding my hand all day, and the angels have been singing.." He closed his eyes one last time.

195 YEAR OLD, YET RELEVANT AND USEFUL

2011-03-02T00:29:00.000-08:00

Hi Everyone,

This 195 year-old building is none other than St. George's Church, in Farquhar Street, Penang. It is also the oldest Anglican Church in South-East Asia, built in 1816.
Some of you may recall my preceding article on this church, which was under renovation at that time. Just click at the title of this article to bring you there, if you choose to do so.

As promised much earlier, I shall update you of the progress. In this connection, I am pleased to inform you that the church had weathered all storms, still stand proudly there to serve its visitors. Last Sunday, Feb 27 saw its first service at the reopening of the Church to its congregation, another milestone of its long history after 10 good months' rest for the restoration project of RM 1.8 million under the National Heritage Department's Ninth Malaysia Plan allocation which began in April last year. This blessing came in as the result of the church being declared as one of the country's 50 National Heritage treasures in 2007.

With this, it not only offers comforts to its congregation during their services and other church functions, but now, its night view will be equally bright and grand as the colonial style State's Council Administration Office, not a far distance from its location, when the church is lighted up from 7:30 pm to 10 pm every night. This exercise not only restores its former glory, but also restores the estate's glory as well. The spirit of cooperation should make all Malaysians proud, as their efforts have paid off within a short span of time. Well done and thanks to all parties that were involved.

This remarkable building also taught me important lessons. First it serves as a reminder to take time to equip myself with knowledge and skills. I should do it, so long as I can last and stay relevant to serve, regardless of my age, exactly like nearly two centuries old, yet relevant and useful. This vision become clearer to me as I aged, in line with the slogan we are built to last. This is another case of "refirement" and not retirement besides Toyo 99 years Japanese Author, which you may read from the link below.

Thanks for your precious time to read this inspiring article from my perspective. Please do share with me regardless whether you see the way I see or not. Your feedback is valuable to me so as I can improve further in order for me to serve you better.

Seeing you again.

ANOTHER MIRACLE

2011-02-03T15:05:00.000-08:00

Happy day, Everyone.

I write to share with you another miracle that happened to me in the beginning of the year.

At the end of last year, the meter assembly of my car suddenly went off. As a result, I was driving the car without fuel and speedometer indications for more than a month. That incident turned out to be another miracle/blessing.

One morning on the way to my client's office, I realized the meter of my car went off suddenly without any prior warning. The first thought that struck my mind was that it was a wiring issue, I sent it to the nearest accessory shop in the hope that they can get it fixed. After spending nearly an hour of checking through the wiring, they appeared to have fix the issue. However, the issue came back in the following day.

Consequently, I have no other alternative, but to send it to the other accessory shop, which installed the mobile stabilizer, hopefully they may fix the issue. After they have thoroughly scrutinized and tested with the appropriate appliances, they could not fix the issue. The issue persisted despite I sending it for the second time. I was told that the meter was faulty.

Of course I am not satisfied with its finding and decided to send back my car to the first accessory shop for the second opinion. This time, they suggested that the mobile stabilizer be removed, which I agreed to. However, the issue persisted despite all the above actions have been done.

Finally, I decided to send it to the authorized service dealer to do the final checking of the wiring. They found nothing wrong with the wiring and reaffirmed the faulty meter assembly and suggested that I replaced it. I found the new part too costly (more than two thousands) and my car is already 8 years old.

Therefore, I decided to source for used part, which costs less than 30 percent of its new part price, the idea which was proposed by the first accessory shop.

I called up numerous used parts dealers and were told that they need time to source for it. I patiently waited and God's grace again ease my unnecessary worries. I continued praying for His guidance and protection while driving this car. I was clueless, in the sense that I did not know its speed and fuel indication, even when it is in running mode. My effort did not end in vain. John : Pray and you shall be answered

My patience and continuous focus on Him eventually beared fruit. I must admit that that I did not feel any uneasiness throughout this period. I know from my heart that He is guiding me and His grace is comforting me. Praise the Lord.

Day in and day out, I persistently prayed to Him for a miracle to happen again. Until one evening, there was a heavy down pour and as usual, certain areas were flooded. The journey from my client's office to my home was a crawl and my car was like bumper to bumper inching forward slowly throughout certain parts of the journey. At the time of need, another miracle happened and the faulty meter, as the mechanics verified, function back to normal again. I immediately thank Him again from my heart, believing that He is the One who makes it again, as ....................Believing in it and Pray about it. Praise the Lord. Since then, the meter functioned as usual again till the time of writing.

Thereafter one evening, while sending my three kids to their English tuition center as usual, my daughter noticed and asked me where did I repair it. My answer to her is God is the one who fix it. She stared at me and told me not to be kidding. After my explanation, she eventually believe in it. I am deeply glad that God again used me as one of His vessels to touch my kids.

Thank God for this wonderful experience and His blessing.

MY TESTIMONY

2011-01-17T21:56:00.001-08:00

Happy day! Everyone,

First of all I would like to introduce myself. My name is James Oh. I have been married 18 wonderful years. I have 3 BEAUTIFUL children that God so richly blessed me with.

I thank God for being able to step forward to share my testimonies with you on how He touched and transformed me as in 2 Corinthians 4:17 therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation, old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. For those who have known me for many years, would know that I was not such a person, who would voluntarily step forward to share my experiences publicly. I was a shy person who chose to put my best on the surface. To-date I am able to do so differently, mainly attributed to God's grace alone. As a result, I do not feel any pain for doing so. I shall take every opportunity to share my Christian walk so freely with anyone so long as I can glorify Him, and not me. Praise The Lord.

I firmly believe that I am given a chance to share my testimony here is no coincidence, but there is a purpose for me to do so in God's perspective. You may wonder why I refuse to use the word "coincidence" because I feel this word will insult and undermine God's power. Again, I also like to reiterate that I met this Mighty, Loving and Living God not through coincidence, but rather because of His promise to those who seek Him will find Him , as in Matthew 7:7 "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

In this context, I like to share some of my experience with you. Some of you may have heard before that I lost my second child more than a decade ago, some of you may also recall my emotion when I shared this painful incident before I accepted Christ.

I was the key witness of this incident and clearly recall every significant process and its timing that took place at that night. They have delayed numerous processes and ignore my advice that eventually caused my child to die in a short span of time prior to the delivery. No one knows the exact time of delay, the gynaecologist's report is different from the report of the expert's opinion. I was not satisfied with their in house panel inquiry as they conducted it without my presence. I am very sure that they concealed the truth from me after they discovered that I have received numerous written replies that were not in their favour. Eventually, I decided to engage a lawyer to pursue further. That is my first time engaging a lawyer to sue the well established private hospital and gyneacologist, believing that I can obtain justice for my son. During that period, I felt so frustrated and helpless.

Moreover my file was lost numerous times at the court. The lawyer I had engaged did not cooperate with me and at times I had to give specific instructions such as to reconstruct my file, rather than refile as he initially proposed. I guess you are able to imagine what sort of life I had gone through nearly a decade to get my case heard. I wonder whether is there any justice in line with the the slogan that "Justice delayed is Justice denied". Who could imagine how sorrow in my heart. It was far beyond words.

At the hearing, I had even completed my law degree and my appointed lawyer had withdrawn himself from representing my wife for this case one day prior to the hearing. My guilt made me feel so meaningless and useless. Ultimately, I began to seek for Almighty and Living God so as to fulfill my much earlier promise while I pursued my law degree.

Perhaps you could be able to imagine a person's feeling especially that of the person who persuade his Mrs to go that particular hospital in view of its modern facilities. Wouldn't that strike your mind as a person judging based on the cover. With such an unfortunate event as my initial thought, it is abnormal and unnatural for me to accept such a consequence. As a result, it heats up my emotion. Couple with my Mrs ' blame of me, how could I take the matter lightly with the view that I have a very strong case against the hospital. However, all this is in vain is our natural view. However, I realized that it is a real blessing as it led me to find this Mighty and Loving God.

I thank God for making me understand the true meaning of grace. Through this incident, He revealed to me His feeling when His Begotten Son died on the cross to redeem our sins. Being Mighty and Living God really knows my heart and turn this incident to be a blessing instead. As the Sovereign God, who has every means and power to rescue His son from being executed on the cross, yet He chose otherwise. This point has been clearly demonstrated to me than He is so graceful that received my highest respect and recognition. He is a Sovereign God who keeps every word of His. Here, He chose not to kill the prosecutor, who prosecute His son, which He has the power to do so.

At the same time, He also demonstrated to me the significant key point of the bible that He loves everyone as He advocates in the Scripture - love your neigbour in Luke 10:27. The standard is far exceedingly Confucius standard of "Do to others as you want others do to you."

As a result, it caused me to withdraw the case and leave it to Him solely, despite having pursued it for nearly a decade. Since then, He has taken this burden from my shoulder and I feel so much relief and He had set me free from this incident, as advocated in John 8:32 "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." Now, I can share this incident with anyone so freely and calmly. It does not cause any pain to me. Thank God for helping me ease my pain even though I had not fulfilled my promise to my son.

As I pursue my christian walk further, I discovered that He is the only real security I can hold on. Why do I say so? This is because I can still recall clearly during the peak of my career, I felt very stressful and under lots of pressure to deliver and perform. Frequently I have sleepless night and loaded with all sorts of worries and felt so insecure. I tend to work very hard and stretch myself to the maximum, yet my heart was not peaceful at all. I felt like chasing after my shadow.

God also has numerous times delivered me overseas assignments when I was desperately in need of a job, so as to answer my family and friends' prayers. However, I came back when my family members were in need of my presence. Now, I am working as a freelance accountant. Although my situation is not better than before, however I have the peace and have good sleep most of the nights. I find myself much healthier and more energetic despite my age is catching up. To be frank to you, I must say that all these come from Him. The more I cling on to Him, I feel much stronger and secure, contradicting my initial belief prior to accepting Christ that only the weak ones rely on God. I also realized that the more I submitted to Him voluntarily the more I acknowledge that I am not alone. He is the sovereign God who keeps His promises and He shall not abandon any of us.

Our Sovereign Lord also reveal to me that faith also function like our muscles. The more you exercise, your muscle will get stronger. Similarly, the boat anchored at the port is much safer than at sea, however it is not created for its intended purpose. Through the book of Job, He has demonstrated this crucial point very clearly to me as how Job get his strength through Christ when Job lost almost everything he had at one time. This crucial point of the true security has numerous times repeated from the old testament till new testament. Jesus Christ even had to remind Apostle Peter to focus on Him rather than the circumstances when both were walking on the sea in Matthew 14 : 28 -33.

My prayer and mission for the year 2011 is to know Him and to make Him known. By His grace, my life will be fruitful and His glory will revealed through me.

Hope you too have the same experience as mines and to enjoy the fruitfulness as we commit our lives to Him this year as concluded in James 1: 2-4. "My brether, count it all joy when fall into various trails, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing."

God bless,

ST GEORGE'S CHURCH

2010-06-20T22:21:00.001-07:00

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

In this article we are going to share with you the Church of almost 200 years old, built in 1816. This historical church is one of Penang's major beautiful heritage landmarks and reputed to be the oldest Anglican church in South East Asia. It is none other than St George's Church in Penang. No wonder that St. George has also served as a fountain of inspiration to writers
(like Shakespeare), artists and musicians.

The most famous depiction of St George Church was his battle with a
ferocious dragon (such as the one shown here from The Catholic
Community Forum).

It is located at the corner of Lebuh Farquhar and Jalan Masjid Kapitan
Keling, both roads are historically significant in this part of the world.
Your tour to Penang will not be completed if your tour did not cover
this area.

This piece of history, resembling the early 19th century Church, will be restored through on-going restoration works. The full beauty of this church will be revealed once the restoration project is completeed as scheduled in November, 2010.

This restoration works will bring back its former glory. This grand restoration works include cleaning and restoring the roof's Marseilles tiles, using the 'cocoon' method for salt desalination on the lower parts of the church walls, restoring parts of the interior as well as door panels and repainting the church.

This church survived through second world war, when it was damaged by 6 Japanese bombs which, fell into its compound. As a result, the pitched roof was significantly damaged at that time. This could have caused the clock to be either destroyed or removed. Now, effort is made to place the replica of its 1.2 m original clock, which was portrayed by a water colour painting of the church showing the clocks facing north, south, east and west, drawn by Mr John Turnbull Thomson, an influential British architect and artist who lived from 1821 to 1884.

Luckily, other areas of this church are well maintained as the church was constantly used by churchgoers before they moved their services to the Parsih Hall while the restoration work is ongoing.

Though my stay in Penang was only four days and three nights, I find it meaningful and fulfilling as I have the chance to recall my old memories.

IS GOD THE AUTHOR OF SIN ?

2010-06-19T03:23:00.000-07:00

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Answer is definitely No if you are referring to the real intention of the Living and Mighty God. He is very consistent with Holiness - abundance of love and slow in anger. Because of His characteristics the fallen angels took advantage of Him and wanted to be god as well. He sent His only son to earth to redeem our sins is also part of the BIG picture He initiated from day one. As the Mighty God knows everything in the first place, he knows how the fallen angels and human beings think from day one.

This can be seen by how God chose his people as advocated in the Scripture, as follow:-
By men’s nature – unless the person is drawn to Christ granted by God.
In Exodus 7:2 -5 Now we know that God did this for His own glory and as a sign to both Israel and Egypt .

In this case, God knew that Pharaoh would not hear and bow to Him. God knows that the Pharaoh will harden his heart which is already desperately wicked and will do harm to any person who does not obey him. After Christ, we should take the interpretation that his sin destroy his ownself. However, if you view from the Law through Moses, it is acceptable that this is due to divine judgment repeated in the Scripture.

God have given humans the free will. In this sense, he will not revoke the free will which He has given though His covenants. He knows that those who refused to listen to Him will naturally face disaster. God intervenes to rescue His people out from Egypt as they cried for His help. You can see how He parted the red sea to allow them to cross over and not others who chased after His chosen people.

As such, you can see that sin can come in so many different forms, with and without the individual's knowledge. In the above case, we were told that Pharaoh feels uneasy when he see Jews. God knows every heart and Pharaoh's heart is also not an exception.

That’s why we have to constantly deny ourselves and take up the cross and follow Him as we have inherited Adam's sin. You can see that pagans also recognize that the greatest enemy is sin of themselves. – invisible to them. And yet sins can manipulate the minds so as to achieve some extraordinary achievements to certain extent. The difference here is that they pushed themselves to achieve them, not in our case where God is using us, as the vessel to do His work, and not our work.

Here, once we open our hearts to Him and He shall make all these visible in our eyes and we are able to see things from His perspective. By grounding our hearts with His word and leading us to trust Him more. We shall then always let the spirit take the lead, rather than our flesh. Never underestimate the power of sin, we cannot see on our own eyes, we need Christ to make it visible. Wouldn’t that this point has been well demonstrated in scripture.

At the same time, we must be cautious too as the devil can also quote bible very well. He (God) warns us about these things out of love, so that we don’t fall. He understand ourselves more than us. He knows how many hairs each of us have, far better than us. Such a illustration can be obtained through Jesus' own experience where the devil also tried to tempt Him on three occasions. He knows that the devil will tempt Him, so do us.

Again, we will receive His blessing of protection from the devil who cannot touch us because we belong to Him. Similar to the story line of a wolf. It claimed to have similar status like the tiger when it bring the tiger to the jungle and claim that every other animals was running away from it similar to the tiger.

That’s why we treasure His relationship very much. It’s more than just a political relationship, which goes deep into our hearts. Internalisation to be Christ like - the goal for every Christian.

If we understand that no one can come to Christ provided it is granted by God. On our own will, we are incapable to do so. This is the result of the sin committed by Adam and Eve.

Consequently, we want virtually to have unlimited power and authority within the sphere of our domains. – the danger of our own self desire. And the only restraint on our self wickedness is the holy arm of God. In this sense, the free will given to us is to choose whether to follow God or follow our own selves.

Will in the verse should be read as passive hardening. God does no violence to Pharoah’s will. In the above case, Pharoah chose not to obey Him and follow his own will which brought self destruction to himself.

Similarly, once freedom of our flesh takes the lead, and not spiritual, then we are certainly exposed to sin.

Now we can clearly see how God let the evil inclinations and evil intentions of fallen men to bring about his own redemption. Or so called free will of man. Similarly for Judas’s case. It must be reminded that God never coerce any evil thing on him, rather his own evil action that brought him self destruction.

God gives mercy to the elect by working faith in their hearts. He gives justice to the reprobate by leaving them in their own sins. One group receives mercy, on the other hand the other group receives justice. No one is a victim of justice. We can’t complain that there is unrighteousness in God.

LIFE IS ABUNDANCE OF LOVE

2010-06-15T04:01:00.000-07:00

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

LIFE

I felt sad when I heard about;

Faith without love is dead;
Love without work is also dead;
Similarly, Faith without work is fatal.

It is a dead end to me, so I look up and cry to Him;

Then, I heard a whisper from the above;

Faith with love is Life;
Love with work is also Life;
Similarly, Faith with work is alive.

I jumped up with joy..

And I heard another wisher announcing:-

To work with love is passion;
To reap life to its fullest;
Is to live with abundance of Love.

BIG PICTURE

2010-06-13T05:08:00.001-07:00

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

The danger of detailed indwelling of His words may cause element of pride to creep into our life so easily without our knowledge. The danger is so rampant and may cause the Big picture of His fundamental principles to become blur and evaporate from our hearts, so to speak.

From the surface, everyone maybe talking differently. But they are actually talking about the same issue with different perspectives, according to their individual level of understanding. As none of us is perfect except Christ, this indicates well that He is holding the wild card and none can be independent from Him. As such we need to seek Him and cling to Him closely so as to walk with Him without any distraction. Look at the example of King David, who had clung to Him so closely yet he committed a couple of serious sins.

It is crystal clear of our sinful nature, the tendency of such sinful act is extremely high. This has been well substantiated in the Scripture pre and post Christ. For instance, Peter had even denounced Him three times after He was prosecuted, the one who had spent time with Him during his (Peter) life time. Don’t mention about us, who has no such privilege.

Wouldn’t you agree on how He constantly reminds and cautions us about the human's sin, which normally operates against God's characteristics that are full of abundant love and slow in anger. He wants us to trust God and ask God to intervene, so that we can walk in accordance with His will, and not our will. Through alignment to His perspective that we are able to walk by faith, and not by sight.

Our greatest enemy is our own selves, which is invisible inside us. Inwards rather outwards. Which is always misunderstood by us as if it is derived from external forces or circumstances, rather than ourselves. As such, this had been addressed by Matthew in 16:24 - self denial before we take up the cross. As we usually act or pretend to be good with God. Alternatively, we make our own god which is fully controlled by us, and not the other way round. No surprise to me that so many gods were created by humans in the past (Read the book of Romans) till to date.

Denial of oneself is the very 1st step in taking up the cross, deny yourselves and your thoughts. In endeavoring to attain the real knowledge from God, we must be very careful in using our wisdom to interpret the Scriptures according to the way we believe rather than the common understanding of the crowd that is pleasing to our ears.

Deny, in like manner, your own power. Cherish the deep conviction that it is those who are weak; those who are nothing that God can use. No wonder that God always use the weak to perform the miracles, contradictory to common understanding of strong person who has so called talents in a particular field as we normally understand. By believing so, it may undermine God's power. Continuous denial of your own power is the way to draw the power and grace from God. His grace will make anyone lacks nothing no matter what condition he is in. Despite his physical body may cry out in pain. However, the inner man inside him will stay dominant and help overwhelm his pain. As such, he can cry out rejoice, the way so many saints have experienced. It well illustrates the norm and the power of God's grace. That is very crucial to have these two perspectives from our eyes.

That's why trusting in Him wholeheartedly is crucial so as to let him take the lead always. Hasn't He demonstrated to us that He can overcome all temptations because He obeys His Father, who is inside Him.

He shall grant us “Special Goggles” so that we can see the invisible. So that we are able to see how He dwells with us clearly. He wants us to pray for that particular person and keep on trusting Him to do the miracles if it is His will.

Blessed because you can see all these things.
Blessing is not equal to our human understanding of comfort.
Blessing is something to put our soul to good rest, peace of mind. Once you have tasted the sweetness, you will never want to let go.

Even gentiles also aware of the wisdom that the greatest enemy is their own as the saying that no one can stop you - rain or shine, but yourself.

As such, we need to clean and clear those impurities with the assistance from the Holy Spirit, which is the whole plan why God planted this spirit in human hearts in the first place. It also affirmed why we always long for Him.

At last but not least, we pray that this article is able to assist you to see this big picture clearly by now. We pray in Jesus' wonderful name. Amen.

LIFE

2010-06-09T02:10:00.001-07:00

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

I have no life in the past
I assumed it is the life I am searching for
I worked hard for my assumed life
I thought I could do it through my own way

Through job, I find vanity
Through money, I find vanity
Through power, I find vanity
That is not the true life

When I cried to the Lord
He whispers to my heart
My grace is suffice
Will make you lack nothing

I know it is hard for you to believe
That’s why I sent my only begotten Son to die on the cross
To accomplish everything for you
For those who believe in Him, will have Life

It sounds too good to be true
Yet it is the truth
Knowing that Human by themselves can’t do good
Repent now and receive the salvation

For those who are born again
Shall see His kingdom
Then you shall be convinced and convicted
Your heart shall voluntarily open to Him

He is knocking at your door
Waiting for you to open your door
Once you open it to Him
He will join you forever

Then you shall have life
Life with abundance of love
Is a great blessing from the above;
Grace and peace shall be with you forever.

SUBMISSION

2010-06-08T00:38:00.000-07:00

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Obedience is not a bad word,
Neither is it rude,
It is not an oppressive force;

It is to acknowledge His existence
To appreciate what He had done for you
To show your love towards Him
Because He loves you first

It is a natural response of your hearts to Him
After He had convicted and convinced your hearts
That make you submit to Him voluntarily

By doing so, you shall eat the good of the land
That is why He provides for you in the first place
Because He cares and loves you more than anything
His blessings to you from day one when you are born

Through obedience, you appropriate the seeds of blessing.
That is the way you shall be clothed in humility.
Through humility, you shall be able to live victoriously

Now you can see how great is His love to you.
Deeper than ocean;
Higher than the sky;
It is beyond measurement

Cheers and have a lovely day,

James Oh

THE OPERATION OF SIN

2010-06-07T00:49:00.000-07:00

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

May be it is good to dwell with this issue earlier by tackling and understanding it first. Here, I am using the metaphor of “plucking the ripe fruits first”, whereby we should pluck the low hanging fruits first, and then move on to the higher ones on the tree.

Our Christianity walk is a journey and not a destination. However, there is a great blessing that God make us realize that our purpose on earth is to achieve Christlikeness – that is the tangible outcome we are seeking on earth, so as to walk right with God. This is very much in accordance with the principle, approach and spirit of the Bible as a whole. I would rather call it a Big Picture.

RIGHTEOUSNESS

To apprehend the true meaning of this word, it is easier to express it in a scale where righteousness is pointing towards one end while sin is pointing to the other opposite end. Since the true meaning of righteousness varies from one individual to another, therefore it may be useful to understand meaning of sin first.

SIN

Sin is defined as something other than righteousness. Sin violates religious and moral laws. It may be caused by something from the weaknesses of our flesh eg. physical desires such as pride, honour, comfort, pleasure, ego, jealousy, ect…In a nutshell, it can come in many different forms, whether you like it or not. It has to to be given equal weight as rightenousness.

As we are well aware that after man fell, no man can do good with his own ability. Hence we must be extremely serious about this subject which no one should take lightly.We inherited the original sin from our ancestor, Adam and Eve. Bear in mind that both of them stayed in the garden of Eden near to God. Here, the devil was so smart and deceive them to take the fruit of knowledge. This well illustrate the point of the devil's power, is very much stronger than any of us or all of us. Another good point to note seriously is that they are near to God, yet the heart is not wholly dedicated to God, they fall eventually. That’s why the scripture also gives us sufficient warnings to safeguard this force, because they can come in thousands or millions forms. Worse still, they may be invisible in our own eyes.

We must be aware of the operation of sin so that we will not get ourselves expose unnecessarily. It is clear that righteousness always triumph over sin. Bear in mind that our Lord, Jesus was also tempted by Satan who can quote Scriptures so well. However Jesus is the perfect man, without sin and can conquer devils. He, as a human had demonstrated the way to conquer them and win the victory for His Father. He had performed perfect prayer before He was put on the cross and claim the victory for His Father. He descended to world to carry out a purpose for His Father. Being adopted children of Him, wouldn’t you think that we were created for His purpose as well. Our purpose of Christian life is also to gloriify God our Father. I am convinced that I shall first deny myself, take up the cross and follow him, the process of being Christlike.

Here, my purpose of this paper is provide an in-depth understandings of this operation, which I am strongly convince that I am able to see all these – as a great blessing from the work of the Holy Spirit. If not, there is no way for me to see it so clearly with my own ability. Similarly I am also convicnced that the stronger your faith is, the clearer picture you can get, which others can see. This is the fundamental of understanding the faith by itself.

It is a great blessing to opt for this Christian walk because we have a mighty and living God, who knows the human being so well that on their own, they can’t walk right with God. That’s the reason He sent us a helper to guide us and stay inside us so long as we open our hearts voluntarily to Him. That’s what He say “I am waiting at the door, whoever opens shall join them. We must understand Him that being a loving God, He has abundant love, but he is slow in anger, will not use force to enter our heart – free will of our own.

To receive His love, we need to open our hearts voluntarily to Him. Then only will he help us to see the devil or our enemy. The impurity of our heart must be removed and replaced by Him. Then He can help us see the invisible but not limited to the devil. By then we can safeguard ourselves and will not fall into temptations.

In order for us to apprehend fully the correct perspective of righteousness according to God’s will, perhaps it very much easier and clearer for us to understand the other extreme end of how sin works, well before we can draw a thin line between these two boundaries. Hence the level of your faith will determine its understanding and application.

Therefore it is more appropriate for us to fully understand the lower end before we build up our strong foundation of righteousness. Word by itself can be used as a double edge sword – well demonstrated by our Master, who knows the word perfectly and can defend himself against the devil who tried to tempt Him. The question arises is who else can do the perfect job. I am convinced that Christ is the only man that can do that. That’s the strong reason why He asked us to deny ourselves No one can replace Him – that why our mission here is to be Christ likelike. Therefore it is important that we reveal to others what God reveals to us, so that He can reveal more to us. The growth of our faith.

SECOND MIRACLE WITH MY FRIEND

2010-06-03T21:11:00.001-07:00

Dear Loving Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Grace and peace to you.

Thank God, for His grace that I step forward to share with you another miracle, with the sole intention of glorifying Him. I know that all this is His work and I am made use of as one of His vessels.

One night, I was invited by the same Christian friends to join their bible study group at their newly found church at Kelana Jaya. Before our bible study class, I made use of the toilet and flush water before I left. I noticed the water kept on flowing out from the tank. I tried to stop it, but to no avail. My friend saw it and came in to assist, but also to no avail. All of the sudden, the phrase of John 16:24 that says "until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete." struck my mind again. I then proposed to pray about it. The moment I finished the statement, he cried out "done." Both of us instantly thank Lord again for His good work. This second miracle truly make my friend convinced. I can't really recall whether we shared this incident with the rest of our Christian friends there.

Thank God for His wonderful blessings again and hope to see you again,

God bless

THE SERMON ON THE IMPORTANCE OF HUMAN LIFE

2010-06-01T13:06:00.000-07:00

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Last Sunday, my family attended our Sunday service at the DUMC church, Section 13, Petaling Jaya.

The sermon for the week was centred on the importance of human life, which made us so excited to share with you. Its importance was well entrenched in the Scriptures as follows:-
1. Life comes from God and belongs to God (Genesis 2:7).

Here, you may able to see the rationale why many countries are moving away from death penalty for serious crimes. This move has been advocated by the International Human Rights Association and the voice has been well accepted worldwide. Their arguments is in line with Scripture.

Second issue is involved with greater sensitivity on the status of abortion. Here, it is very much dependent on the circumstances. If it is life threatening to the mother, then the case may be treated differently. Similarly treatment should be also extended to rape victims. Their choice of keeping the baby is dependent on the mother's will. They can choose to give the baby up for adoption after the delivery.

2. Human beings are made in the image of God. (Genesis 1:26,27)

God appointed human beings to be the trustee for all other creations on earth. As such, human beings is God's treasure.

3. In our body is the precious life-blood which God puts in us. (Genesis 9:5,6)

One thing is certain that no matter how advance is our technology, we cannot produce anything identical to the nature. For instance synthetic rubber is not as hard as the natural rubber. Worst still, scientists cannot produce blood and that is why all hospitals frequently ask the donors to step forward to donate blood whenever the blood bank runs low, despite we have entered into 21 century.

4. We do not have the ability to reproduce human lives that are eternal.

We cannot produce blood through our own invention, nor can we reproduce human beings in the laboratory. We are very certain that we cannot do this in the future as well.

5. Inherent in every human being is the potential to change the world for good.

This is something very great that the Mighty God has given to all human beings: the ability to cope with changes for good. This attribution is solely contributed by God to human beings with the following features:-

1. Rationality - this enable us to use this to the maximum for the good of human beings through our brain - the great gift from God.

2. Morality - God calls the shot and not anyone of us. In this connection, He gave us His Word. Everything and anything should be looked upon from His perspective.

3. Creativity - Inherited from Him so that we can use our creativity to cope with the changes and for our good.

4. Eternity - no matter what, our hearts always long for Him.

5. Personal - so that human can build relationship with God directly. We will step forward to be His witnesses from generations to generations so as to glorify Him, and not us.

Hope the above discussion has given you an insight of the importance of human lives. We also pray to Him that He will reveal to us should we have any different interpretation. We pray in His wonderful name. Amen.

Being Christian...

2010-05-28T05:35:00.000-07:00

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

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

2010-05-24T01:19:00.000-07:00

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

2010-05-19T00:34:00.000-07:00

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

2010-05-15T03:59:00.000-07:00

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

2010-05-13T12:01:00.000-07:00

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

2010-05-12T19:01:00.000-07:00

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

2010-05-10T23:52:00.000-07:00

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.

IN this connection, you may contact me should you really want to commit yourself to join us to chart your own path of success. You may either furnish me your contact, via comment. Alternatively, you may drop me an email at jamesoh2003@yahoo.co.uk.

Thank you for your precious time and looking forward to hearing from you

GIVE GOD YOUR HURTS

2010-05-08T23:25:00.000-07:00

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.

Thursday, April 15, 2010
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.

James Oh

MY FAITH BEGAN TO GROW STRONGER

2010-04-23T07:58:00.000-07:00

Dear Loving Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Grace and peace to you.

I am deeply delighted to seeing you all again. For those who have read about the numerous miracles that Lord had shown me, you may choose to continuously read some of my testimonies from time to time. For those who have not done so, you may vet through my previously written testimonies to see how Lord convinced and convicted my heart.

Since then, I have begun to take initiatives to read the scripture day and night or whenever I have the opportunities despite my struggles initially. Now, I enjoy reading it. Thank God again for placing me in several bible study groups to nourish my heart. Thanks also to those who have been lending their books and sharing with me their thoughts about His Words with me. That enables me to share it openly with you. This is one way to appreciate their efforts by giving back to society. I have been benefiting all these while. Secondly, I also can do it by glorying My Mighty God who has done so much for me. I also know what I am doing is not my effort, but through His grace that I do it.

Thanks also extended to those churches I have attended to ground my understanding of His Word. I am very grateful to Him and the rest that He made use of everything to reveal the truth to me. He also guide me to be a doer as well as a listener, as such I have taken various initiatives to apply His word into my daily lives. He has never failed to answer my prayers in so many occasions when I need to deliver something so as to glorify Him. He even delivered parking lots during peak time in shopping malls when I was with my unbelieving siblings. Amazing, yet real so as that He touches their hearts as well.

Finally, they have soften their resistance against my faith as compared to the initial period. Praise the Lord.

Our faith began to grow each day and what I know is that He continuously uses me as one of His vessels to achieve His goals and not my goals. I just pray that He continuously keep and maintain me. Amen.
I pray in Jesus Christ's wonderful name.

One thing I realise that the more I share with others, He will reveal even more to me, like Giving is Receiving. Once I have shared, I feel more peaceful and feel like resting in His Mighty hand. I am sure that you will not let go of the peace for any costs. It is too sweet and wonderful, I can say.

I will see you again,

Grace and peace to you all.
