Declined Faith Part 2

Friday, October 30th, 2009

Maybe it’s the tiniest self-boasting, or pet sins hiding, and slightest disobedient here and there that diminished God’s power in me, and allowed the enemy’s major force to hold me by the throat.

To hear the fainest voice of God anytime, all the time is of utmost importance. Asking Jesus for the keys is the key!! Intimacy with Him alone (with careful obedience and attentiveness) is the final… Continue reading

Declined Faith

Friday, October 30th, 2009

Few years ago I was very strict on what I allowed myself to do. For example, I won’t let myself watch Naruto, thinking it was a waste of time.

There were many things I found questionable and a waste of time. I had many things I saw as sins and tried to refrain myself from doing.

The more I tried to have self-control, however, the more I fell… Continue reading

Earthly Success And Heavenly Success

Wednesday, October 14th, 2009

Earthly success and heavenly success isn’t always in conflict, but the former usually overshadow the latter.

A preacher may forget how to love the little ones when he starts counting the many souls he has won for Christ. Yet it is the little ones who would have been his greatest heavenly investment had he invested himself in them.

Having earthly success is hard, but having heavenly success is… Continue reading

Father’s tears

Saturday, October 10th, 2009

I was walking in the street. Just finished a day of work, taking a long walk for break.

I was singing to God. This time, I was genuinely praising Him, pure and simple. I told God how happy I was to once again to willingly and happily bear my cross for Him. In the last many months, I had been gradually re-dedicate, re-consecrate, re-surrender, and re-focus my everything to… Continue reading

A Friend’s Sharing

Friday, October 9th, 2009

Just talked to a friend on the phone. He mentioned why he was able to be humble even though he was blessed with a lot of achievements – he lost an opportunity to make multi-millions in the past due to pride.

Now I understand why he is so humble even though he is such a super duper achiever.
He knows what is from God and what’s not. He keeps… Continue reading

Fight For Time

Wednesday, October 7th, 2009

I just started working in a part time job this Monday, PTL.

I got this job out of a divine instruction from God. I acted upon a prompting from the Holy Spirit, and emailed the employer to ask for an opportunity to volunteer in his learning centers, and he hired me instead.

I have worked for totally 14 hours so far – on two mathematics assignments, which I… Continue reading
