Are You being controlled by Money

Recently, Lord taught me a lesson on money that I thought I should share with you.

On Monday, Lord asked me to listen to the sermon, ‘The Blessings of Jacob versus The Blessings of Esau’. While listening to the sermon, Pastor Prince gave an illustration of God’s blessing and gave 4 digits in the process. At that point, I heard a voice that told me to go buy that number.

Normally, I will not gamble at all as I know I have no luck in this area. I know adversary likes to trick us using this as Su faced twice. So, when I received the messages including urging me to go buy the 4D, my suspicious arose.

As I had just listened to some sermons by Pastor Mark and knew that Lord could use that way to bless too, I did not want to miss it if it was Lord. In the process, I checked with Lord the different channels He used to talk to me. All seemed to confirmed that the message was from Him.

The instruction was to invest in a big amount. As I know Lord will surely bless the best, I knew if I strike, how much my prize money will be. With this $200K odd of amount coming my way, I was thinking, if I am so rich, whatever hubby restricted on me will no more be an issue. I even thought that I could help him pay for his car!!! Praise the Lord!

Then last evening, hubby was asking me to bring my girl out for some fun filled day. I asked him for the money for the expenses. He told me to use my money and he will reimburse me after that.

I could be nice to him as long as don’t talk about money. In talking about money, I was thinking, you don’t give me any and yet you still want to spend mine….that kind of thoughts.

This morning, leaded by the Lord, I started thinking. Why with lots of money I could forgive him so easily. But without lots of money, I get angry with him due to money. If the available of money can change my mood, then I am being controlled by money!!! This is the first that I can see clearly that I let money to control me.

Then, I also think, why I let money control me??? Lord could easily bless me lots of them and I should be in great joy in Him, not money. With this come clearer, finally, I realised what Lord is teaching me. Hallelujah!!!!

At one point after the 4D draw date, I was actually feel so cheated and stupid to follow the adversary. Then today, I was wondering, stupid of the adversary to cheat me. Didn’t he know that with this lesson, I will be free from the control of money??? Then I realised adversary was not the one who stage this. Lord had staged this to let me see things clearly. Praise the Lord!

In fact, I even apply the same money thoughts to power too. I realised I should flow in Love, Joy and Peace in the Holy Ghost, instead of wait for power to bring me to somewhere. I am reading the book of Thessalonians and the book of Timothy. This money and power lessons and the recent reading do help me in getting better prospective of me in Christ.

Hallelujah, Praise the Lovely and Caring Daddy God, Lord Jesus and Holy Spirit! May Your Glory shines brighter and brighter in me till the coming of the Lord! Amen!

What to Do when You feel Powerless

Here is another sharing from Stormie that Lord wanted me to post here:

One of the most wonderful things about God is that He shares Himself with us. He gives us a portion of all that He is. He even shares His power, and He gives us a way to do and be what we couldn’t do and be on our own. Who else would do that but Him? And He does that because He loves us.

God loves us enough to be strong on our behalf. To be strong where we are the weakest. ‘He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak…those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength…they will run and not grow weary’ (Isaiah 40: 29-31). Because of God, you never have to feel powerless, no matter what is happening in your life.

The thing about God’s power is that we have to wait on Him for it. We don’t just throw it on like a light switch. We don’t control it. He does. It’s His power, and He dispenses it at will. He wants us to wait on Him. But the problem is we don’t like waiting. We want what we want when we want it. And what does it mean to wait, anyway? How exactly are we supposed to do that?

Waiting doesn’t mean doing nothing. It’s not like waiting for a bus or a cab. We aren’t tapping our fingers and looking at the clock. While there can be desperation in prayer when we are seeking God for what we need, when we are waiting on the Lord our soul finds rest in Him. We find peace in the midst of strife.

The way we wait on the Lord is to spend time with Him in praise and worship. It means focusing and meditating on the greatness of God and praising Him for who He is and all that He has done. It’s drawing close to God and telling Him how much we reverence Him. It’s praising Him for being our all-powerful Lord. That’s how we can run the course and not grow weary. And as we continue to do that, He will lift us up.

God’s power is not cheap. :D Just like electric power that comes into our homes, there is a price to pay for it. Only the prince is not monetary. The price is spending time filling ourselves with God’s Words so we can understand the power. It’s praying so we can access the power. It’s living in obedience so we can maximize that power. It’s praising and worshiping God so we open up the lines through which God’s power flows into our lives.

Ask God to show you ‘his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come’ (Ephesians 1:19-21)

Doesn’t that sound like the kind of power we can’t live without?

Jesus wasn’t resurrected from the dead just so we could have a nice, happy life. He was raised up to save us from death and hell so we could live a life of power and purpose. That same power, which parted the Red Sea, opened blind eyes, broke the curse of death, and created heaven and earth, can transform your life and the lives of others around you. None of us to live a life without power. God doesn’t want us to live that way either. He wants to empower us to live the life He has for us.

God’s Plans still Require Prayer on Our Part

I am reading the book of Jeremiah and this sharing by the author is just the right time:

Jeremiah 29: 4-14

‘“For I know the plans I have for you,” declared the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future”’ (Jeremiah 29:11)

Jeremiah had some good news and some bad news from God for the people. The bad news was extremely bad. They would spend 70 years in captivity in Babylon (29:10). The good news was that God would bring His people home in the end. He had plans for them – plans to prosper and not to harm them, plans to give them hope and a future. But that still meant that an entire generation would come and go before the hopeful promise in Jeremiah 29:11 would come true.

Sometimes God’s plan can take a long time to come to pass (You probably know that already.) And in those long waiting times, we can lose heart or get discouraged. That’s why it’s important to remember that a future filled with hope and blessing doesn’t just happen automatically. There are things we need to do.

The first thing you need to do is to seek God and pray about your future. ‘Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.’ (29:12-13).

The second thing you need to do is to be diligent to obey God. Every step of obedience you take today will take you into the future God has planned for you. ‘Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice leading you every step of the way.

The Holy Spirit is God’s guarantee to you that He will help you do what you need to do and bring to pass everything He promised. ‘Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal (Lord said I have a big and bright seal, praise the Lord!!!), the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession – to the praise of his glory’ (Ephesians 1:13-14)

Every time you seek God and obey Him, every time you pray and listen for His voice, you are investing in your future. God promises that you have a good future and a reason to have hope. Trust Him for both. It may not happen as quickly as you would like, but God promises and He will deliver.

Praise the Lord. Typing this long message out, I am reading the bible and Lord directed my fingers on the keyboard. It is so amazing to work together with Him. Even though I know that without me reading, He has already known the passage for sure. Hallelujah! Daddy, I love working with You. *smooches* :D

The Blessing of Abraham II

I just come back from my care group meeting and these scriptures stand out to me because it is what I am going through lately. Sharing with you here:

Care leader was going through Deuteronomy 28 blessings with us and told us to say the verse that stood out to us. I asked Lord which verse I should choose. He told me:

Deuteronomy 28:2

‘All these blessings will come upon you and accompany you if you obey the Lord your God:’

Ever since I became a Christian, I learn that I must believe in Lord Jesus to get all my blessings. When Lord told me to choose this verse, I was wondering why. Now that the below verses was revealed to me. Finally, I could understand what Lord is trying to tell me. :D Praise the Lord!!!

Genesis 26:1-3

‘Now there was a famine in the land and Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Philistines in Gerar. The Lord appeared to Isaac and said, “Do not go down to Egypt (double stress); live in the land where I tell you to live. Stay in this land for a while, and I will be with you and will bless you.’

Hallelujah, the above verses is talking about whatever issues we faced, don’t be stressed, stay with Lord and He will greatly bless you. As you know, my recent famine (no allowances), could be a scene of ugly stand off between hubby and me. But I told him that I will put that issue aside and life for us still remain as usual, caring for each other. I passed the issue to Lord and trusted Lord to give me the allowances instead.

Genesis 26:12

‘Isaac planted crops in that land and the same year reaped a hundredfold, because the Lord blessed him. The man became rich, and his wealth continued to grow until he became very wealthy. He had so many flocks and herds (worshipers and followers) and servants (helpers) that the Philistines envied him.’

Praise the Lord, Lord had leaded me to sow 10%, then 40% of my saving. I feel so blessed now. The feeling is so wonderful. Now I am patiently waiting for the manifestation of these 2 seeds. Hallelujah!!!

Wow, what a blessed care group meeting. I didn’t realise that Lord is setting this blessing up for me till the revelation of the above scriptures just now.

Daddy, Daddy, it is so blessed to be lead by You and obey You in each small steps. Thank You for setting up these blessings for me. Hallelujah!!! Praise Your Almighty Name!!! I claimed the blessings in Jesus Name!!! Amen!!!

Calling from God

Yesterday sermon was about every child of God, each of us have a platform, a calling from God. Pastor said some will ignore it and just get by. Some will wonder when theirs going to happen as it was prophesied some months or years ago. Also, some know there is such a thing that they are not ready. And they wonder when they will be ready.

Here, I like to share some personal experience. I have just started on my job for Daddy God, going around healing Daddy’s kids. :D From what I learnt from church, to get Daddy’s blessings, we have to fix our focus on Lord Jesus, walking with Him, which means learning more and more about Him, what He has done for us.

Even though I have only been a Christian for 1+ year, my knowledge is not as limited as most 3-4 years children of God. Let me make myself a fool for boasting about it. With Lord’s blessings, I was able to access to lots of His past years sermons. I had learnt about Jesus from as far back as 2002. All thanks to my ex-care group member, W, who has a good collection of them. Praise the Lord!

Also, Lord ground my foundation with learning about Lord Jesus from Pastor Prince teaching. He has greatly anointed Pastor Prince to reveal about the goodness of Lord Jesus. From learning about them, I learn more about who I am in Christ.

In daily life, I walk by what Lord said on how to receive His blessing. To receive His blessing, He said we must believe in Him. By this believe in Jesus, whatever I faced in life, I put my trust in His finished Work and claim my blessing instead of submitting to what I faced in the daily life.

As I walk closer and closer, weekly learnt about Jesus, I have my mindset renewed to think like what Lord Jesus has done for me. As this mind renewed till I fully believed in all that Lord wants to give to me, Lord came closer and closer to me till He and me are joined as one.

This renewal of mind set also lead me to realise how righteous I am in Him. Lately, I also realised the Law of the spirit of life in me that make me no sin and no death. With this believe, I believe that germs and bacteria have to die away when they touch me. John G Lake had experienced so during his time of healing ministry. I want to be like him too. As I believe in this, the cough that has been troubling me daily seems to be disappearing. Praise the Lord!

I don’t sit around and wait for Lord to say when I am ready. I keep on learning and learning that finally, during the sermon at Christmas time, He said I am a healer.

From this experience, I realised that you have to keep on learning about what Lord Jesus had done for you. Also, learn about how righteous you are in Him. As you keep on learning and learning, one day, Lord would tell you that you are ready to be use by Him. I don’t go open door myself. I am leaning on Him to open the door for me. I can see the path that Lord is laying out for me. It is interesting to see it happening. Praise the Lord!

So, before you are ready, sit by Jesus foot and learn more about Him. Lord has leaded me to many other Pastors around the world too. If you read all my posts, you will see each stage that Lord has been leading me.

I learned from Dr Leroy Thompson that for blessing, we have to keep on tithing and tithing till to a certain point, it reaches the enough point and blessing would be flowing in after that. Even though I have not been receiving any allowance for the last 2 months, when Lord told me to tithe 10% of my saving, I obey. Recently, He told me to tithe 40% of the remainder saving, I obey too. Dr Leroy said Lord will get us to give out before the blessing happened.

If you know how much my 40% is, some people may go wow. For me, I choose to think that as a small amount. I am looking over the fence of what I have myself. I am looking at the abundance that Lord is laying out to bless me. Praise the Lord! Hallelujah.

Daddy God, I have faithfully tithe out what You have put in my heart. I know I can never out tithe You. I know You will surely bless me greatly. I rest in Your Peace and continue to learn about You in the bible and faithfully waiting for my big blessing to come pouring on me like rain from the heaven. Hallelujah!!! Amen.

The Blessing of Abraham

Lately I was lead to Kenneth Copeland site to watch some sermons on prosperity. Daddy God is getting His children ready, to get us into the position that is possible for Him to bless us greatly. When I was watching the sermons, the man of God, Leroy Thompson, is good. In one of the sermon, Lord spoke through him to bless whoever watching it. It was a wonderful experience. You can go to http://www.kcm.org/media/webcasts to watch the sermons from 31^st December 2007 onwards.

Currently, we are like princes taking bus while servants are riding cars. We are in the tail and not at the head. We are in the wrong position. Kenneth Copeland said that time is running out, Lord wants us to be His witness, His dignity is affected too, as so much is said about He going to prosper us but so little is seen.

The 4 things talked about in the few sermons I watched are:

Doctrine: we have to read the bible to know God and to know us.

Reproof: it is dismantle of erroneous teaching by the Holy Spirit. It is something in our life that needs to be deal with, our thoughts, deceptive teaching, and wrong training.

Correction: We have to accept corrections.

Instruction: is the application of God word in our life.

Money Cometh is going to come till Jesus come. The body of Christ needs the money to spread the Gospel. We can have our car, house, etc but the main issue is the body of Christ has to rise up to finance the gospel to spread to those that have not heard about it. Also those of us who have heard the gospel, we are to spread it out to others that have not heard. This is the main purpose, to get the Gospel out.

Each of us in Christ, we are a thinking spirit, a believing spirit and a talking spirit. We have to renew our mindset to think God Words for us. We have to believe in all that Jesus Christ had done on the Cross for each of us is perfectly completed. We are the righteousness of God in Christ. We, who have received Christ, are no more the same person that we used to be. We are now the son and daughter of God. That is our spiritual birth right. We will be lavishly blessed, highly flavored and deeply loved. Lord Jesus have open the way for us. We are to speak God Words on what Daddy God has provided to us through Jesus Christ.

Go watch the sermons; it will surely bless you for all that we need to get our position right, with supported scriptures. You are to open your heart to receive all of it and believe accordingly. Daddy God is going in a great way to get all His Children into position to receive His abundance supply that has been waiting to pour down greatly on us.

This is the end time movement of Daddy God, in a hurry way, time is running out.

Daddy God, thank You for telling me that my part is to finish the bible. Thank You for telling me that Su’s family have to believe, think and talk God’s abundance. I will position myself to receive Your Lavish blessings that is coming my way. I pray in Jesus Name, Amen!

The Spiritual World

This is the understanding I derived from reading the bible, personal encounter with God and devil. As this year is the year of the blessings of Deuteronomy 28 to be pouring on the children of God, I pray that you, who read this post, get a better understanding of the spiritual world, so as to operate in the Jesus way, which is the only way to get your blessings and life. I pray that the Lord hand be manifested in you so that your brain is clear to absorb what I have to write here. And may your eyes and ears be opened to receive this, I pray in Jesus Name. Amen!

Each of us is a unique creation by Lord Jesus. From the day we were born, we are like “‘a wife married young, only to be rejected’ says your God. ‘For a brief moment I abandoned you’” (Isaiah 54: 6-7). We are born into this negative world, away from the Lord.

In this world, depends on what our parents believes, we are taught and learnt from them. As we learn to speak, our minds are shaped to talk negative and/or positive. If you listen to your friends around you, when feel or see negative situation happening, most people will confess something bad happening, be it be something affecting their life or some pain or giddiness or not well on the body.

From NCC, I learnt that we must speak positive or God words whole year round. I also learn that we have to speak to the situations we are facing in God words, like what Lord Jesus said, speak to the mountain and it shall be done. God created the world and Adam and Eve through speaking. We are made in His image, we, who have accepted Lord Jesus, have Father God as our spiritual Father. As such, for good things to happen around our lives, we must be like God, speak life into our situations.

Sometime, d gives me a thought, like the most recent one, about pain in the body. Then unconsciously, I go wonder hmm..yet to heal such a person. Then last evening, this sharp pain around my right body started. I have been praying in the spirit and cast it to the Lord. It was gone later that evening. This morning, when I wonder about the pain again, it came back. So I started thinking Lord Jesus on the cross, had taken away all my sickness. I am the righteousness of God in Christ. I also proclaim that Daddy God and Lord Jesus’ blessings are on me. I also put myself in the Grace of Jesus. Lord healed me. Praise the Lord!

This is one of the situation I did not being conscious to Lord Jesus but open the door to the devil. I am still learning. Yes, this world, really there are a devil and a God, operating. We are the one in control of our life. Both spirits wants us to open our mouth and thoughts to give them the presence in our life. Take note of what you say daily, and see the situation that happens in your life. Then you will understand what I am trying to say here.

The only different between the 2 spirits is, devil, even you did not invite him to your life, he will give you thoughts, feelings etc. For you to start talking about it, the moment you talk about it, a door is opened and he will rush in immediately.

As for God, Lord Jesus had done a perfect work on the Cross. He had taken our Sins and afflictions and infirmities. His work on the Cross for each of us was perfectly done. Now, in Him, we have no sin, we are made the Righteousness of God in Christ. He is our wisdom, righteousness, holiness and salvation. We have to believe and speak it out over our situations.

In fact Lord Jesus is more than that, whatever you lack, you can request Lord Jesus to be that. Just like Jc, now that she enters Primary 1, sometime her school bag is heavy. I will ask her to say, ‘Lord Jesus, Your body is my body, Your hands are my hands, Your legs are my legs, Your muscle is my muscle. After proclaiming such, Jc is able to carry her schoolbag. Praise the Lord!

Daddy God, Lord Jesus, thank You for your provision at the Cross. I thank You that I am greatly bless, deeply loved and highly favored. I pray in Lord Jesus Almighty Name! Amen!

My Lord the Saviour

Last Saturday, at my parents place, some argument happened between my disbelieve brother and we, Su and I. Brother, H, could not see Lord had already healed dad. Saturday, He walked up to us and claimed that the 2 weeks was up and my dad was not healed and he claimed lots of sickness coming to mum. Sis and I rebuked his remark on mum as that was a serious open door for sickness to come to her. As we were against what he said on mum, we forgot to rebuke what he claimed for dad.

He had wanted to get a maid to help mum. Su and I passed the whole issue to Lord and rest in his peace. Today, both Su and I received a call from mum early in the morning. Dad’s legs weaken again and he fell down suddenly last night and early this morning.

Mum called both Su and I. Lord told Su that we should go and put anointed oil around the house to protect it and to pray for dad. When we reached there, we anointed the house first. Then we prayed for dad. I thanked Daddy God for forgiving all his sins and thank Lord Jesus for removing all his condemnations and also thank the Lord for healing dad at the cross. Then I commanded the hands and legs to behave according to God’s Words and be healed. Su commanded dad’s eyes, ears and heart to be open to receive God’s Words. Lord gave Su and me vision of dad dancing. Praise the Lord.

After prayer, we got dad to walk, his legs still weak, Lord told me to anoint his knees with the anointed oil. Lord told Su to anoint the ankle too. After that we lay our hands on his knees and legs and prayed in the spirit. Praise the Lord, dad could lift up his legs and walk immediately. Hallelujah!!!

Afternoon, Su called to inform me that K’s mum, Mrs Soh’s legs swollen have gone. Praise the Lord! We prayed for her on Sunday, Lord fully healed her by today, which means 5 days, number of Grace. :D Thanks Daddy God, Lord Jesus!!!

Tearing Down the Wall of Separation

This is from my study bible:

‘But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear’ Isaiah 59:2

Nothing works in our lives when we don’t live God’s way, not the least of which is that our prayers are not answered. This verse says that our sins separate us from God so that He will not hear us when we pray. Don’t let unconfessed sin separate you from God and hinder your prayers.

If you can’t think of any sin in your life, ask God to show you whatever you need to see in that regard. All of us get things in our hearts, souls, minds, attitudes, and emotions that shouldn’t be there and are not God’s best for our lives. Often we have sin in our hearts and lives and don’t even realize it until we start paying the consequences for it. Don’t let any separation happen between you and God. Talk to Him daily about the condition of your heart. Ask God often to keep you undeceived. And when He reveals any sin, confess it immediately so that you can be cleansed of it.

We all fail at times, so don’t let any failure on your part hinder your prayer in any way. If you take care of this issue by yourself with God in the daytime, by confessing and repenting of all sin as soon as you are aware of it, then you won’t have to be dealing with the effects of it when you are trying to sleep at night.

Off hand, from the bible, disbelieve in Jesus is a sin. No wonder there was a sermon on condemnation, guilt, fear and stress prevents blessings from flowing through. Praise the Lord!

On my blog, I have posted things that block blessings from flowing. You can read previous post to learn about it. Pastor Prince has a few sermons on this topic. Below are the few I know:

26/04/2002 - The Barrier to Receiving from God

14/07/2002 - Worry Not About Tomorrow

06/01/2006 - The Root Cause of Your Problem is Condemnation

08/01/2006 - When You are Under Condemnation, God's Favour cannot flow

24/03/2006 - Sweat leads to Anger

Since Daddy God has told my church that 2008 is the year of blessings from Deut 28, learn what keep you away from getting your prayer answered, so that you could receive abundantly from Daddy. :D Hallelujah!

These are the 2 verses that caught my attention when I read ‘Confess the Word’ in NCC site:

Honour the Lord with your possessions, and with the firstfruits of all your increase; so your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will overflow with new wine.
Proverbs 3:9–10

Whenever I listened to the tithing sermon, I would always wonder if I should tithe 10% of my saving, since this I saved before coming to Christ. On Sunday, I finally tithe it to NCC Church Building Fund. Praise the Lord! Just now as I was laying hand on JC to let Lord bless her with peaceful sleep, Lord starts my 1^st blessing of 2008. Hallelujah!!!

JC got a fall in the shower and got a cut under her lower chin, Lord earlier told me to call Su to pray with me for her chin healing. Just now as I lay hand for her sleep, Lord prayed another time of healing for her chin. Then He prayed for her peaceful sleep, after that He continues to pray for all the worries I have for JC as she is starting Primary 1 tomorrow. I have been trusting Lord to bless her in those areas.

Whatever worries I had the past 2 months, Lord flashes into my brain and I know He is blessing JC that removed my worries for her studies and socializing. As the prayer goes on, He flashes one by one of my worries. It was a long prayer, after it finished, Lord confirmed His blessings and told me no worries. I am so happy now. Hallelujah!!!

This is the other verse:

And not being weak in faith, he did not consider his own body, already dead (since he was about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah’s womb. He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform.
Romans 4:19–21

The part on Abraham did not waver at the promise of God jumped out at me. Now I also wants to be like Abraham, to have strong faith that Lord will surely brings the blessings He promised to me to past. I will wait patiently for it to happen.

Daddy God, thank You for leading me to tithe my saving so that your blessings can come through. I know now 90% of my saving will not remain that way, I know You will surely brings Your abundant harvest into my saving, my life and my family life. Hallelujah!!! Amen!

Daddy God, last Christmas or New Year eve, You said 2007 was the year of new beginning. I believed in You and trusted in You in leading me. Thank You that now finally I am starting on the new beginning that You put in my mind long ago. Praise Your Almighty Name, Lord Jesus! Thank You, Holy Spirit for Your daily leading. Hallelujah!!! Amen!
