The Rest

It is good to have the peace of mind and rest in the Lord. As you read the panicked post of my girl’s exam, I am finally relieved. Lord is so good, as I trust in Him, He came in strongly the past few weeks to help my girl in her exam.

Jc has attempted her last Chinese Paper 2 on Thursday. Praise the Lord, she said it’s pretty easy even though her friend, whom is good in his studies, remarked that it’s tough. Jc shared with me that one section of the paper was what she had done in her Higher Chinese enrichment class. She is taking the normal Chinese. Praise the Lord!

Though I have yet to see any paper, Jc has gotten to see some of her papers. She has done pretty well and I am happy. Thanks to the Lord that helps her for the past few weeks.

Another issue I faced lately was my husband. Previously, he always come back home on time, so communication wasn’t much of a problem. Lately as his work get busier, handling 45 projects with time tracking, stress is getting to him. He used to wake up 8 plus but now 7am he is awaken. Previously he didn’t spend the night out. Nowadays, His after work time was spent either on work, meeting vendor or going to the pub with colleagues cum friends. This has taken a toll for me. For weeks I have been trying to tell him that he values his friends more than me, he doesn’t seem to get it. Even Saturday night, he also went out till 2am.

As a wife, I was unhappy. But there was no way I could convince him to spend some time with me. Finally, I found it hard to fight with an unwilling heart. I let him go and trusted the Lord to bring him to his senses and rest in His Peace. This rest wasn’t an easy one. I cried a few times over he valued his friends more than me. Seem as if I am nothing in his eyes.

Today, he sent me a sms to tell me that he is starting handling another account. Lead by the Lord, I replied that ‘what does he implied?’ As all his nights were all out, I asked him if he means sacrifice some of his sleep too. He replied that in either ways, he needs my support.

Lord leads me to quote his past relationship where his ex-girlfriend had an affair with the neighbour. I told him finally I understand why that girl went to another man for love. I told him that he has time for his friends and vendor, but no time for his wife nor ex.

He took it as I am not supporting him. Lord leads me to tell him that I needed to be loved too. Not that I won’t support him. Later part of the afternoon, Lord leads me to sms him with this. ‘Long ago, when you said you love me, you spend time talking to me. Nowadays, when you said you love me, you spend time talking to others. Go figure!’

There was no reply from him. I had brought Jc to the seaside with Su and wanting him to pick us up on his way home. Lord told me that he would come to pick us up at 10pm. He really came at that time. He sounded gentler now. Praise the Lord!

Abba Father, thank You for loving me much and helping me in this issue. I have been trying to tell him what you use a sweet and short message to get a good effect to him. Praise You for Your display of wisdom, just like the way You saved the lady caught in the adultery and the Pharisee wanted Lord Jesus to judge her and they wanted to stone her. Lord Jesus, Your reply that those who are without sin cast the 1st stone was a very sweet and perfect judgment. You uphold the Law and saved the girl. Praise You for Your wisdom to let my hubby see light in this darkness. Hallelujah to all that You have done for me! Thank You for loving me so MUCH!!! Amen!

My Precious Little One

For us, being parents to our precious little one, how many of you do not worry about your kids study and their future? I confess that I am one kiasu parent. In my younger days, my grades are not bad too, and I see my nieces and nephews studying also pretty ok, I do have high hope for my girl. However, this girl is like what Lord tells me, a headache!

Younger days in kindergarten, she was so shy and quiet on a class as her own that nobody understood. Teacher could ask her if she wanted a jelly from 1 corner of the eating area, she would stand on the other end, looking at the teacher and would not response. Principal and teachers, who are into young kids education and mental abnormality, tried to classified her into certain abnormal kid, but they could not one that fit her!!! Yes, for me as her mum, I was headache on how to guide her. She in her shyness was clinging to me when she was young, even at my mum place. Dare not play with my nieces and nephews and dare not call any of the uncles and aunties.

The 4.5 years in the kiddy, her classmates knew her so well that whenever the teacher asked if she like something, they would help her to reply. She was in Montessori kiddy, so everyday have to select own task. My girl would just stand there and did not respond. I have to suggest to the teacher to get her conditioned the day before that she has to choose a task the next day. She was so scared of adult that she took half a year to get comfortable with the teacher and love the teacher much the next half year. Come next year, she would miss the previous year teacher and the cycle went on.

K2 final parent-meet-teacher time, her teacher was concerned about her adaptability in Primary school. In this kiddy, all the teachers and schoolmates knew her well. They could accommodate to her way of life. But in Primary school, it is a brand new environment and she has to be able to defend against bully that I often heard from other parents.

Blessed the Lord, Daddy God brought me to Him 1 year before Jc graduated from kiddy. I learnt about Daddy God could do anything, nothing is impossible for Him. I know by believing in Him, all that the lack in Jc will be satisfied and fill up. I told the Kiddy teacher not to worry, I knew my Daddy God will fill her up so that she has no problem in Primary school. All that I confessed and believe in my heart, 1 day before Primary school started, as I was letting Holy Spirit pray for Jc to sleep well, Lord came through and fill up her lacks, as I continue the prayer in the spirit, Lord showed me visions of me confessing, that moment, I know He was filling Jc up. Praise the Lord!!!

Generally, Jc was still a bit shy girl. But praise the Lord, He got E to invite Jc to play with her girl in the playground. This almost 1 year of playing has get Jc more exposed to other kids and established her social skill. When other adult ask her something, she could reply too. Praise the Lord!

New set of problem arise from this Primary school system. Jc was easily distracted and could not focus in class. Sometimes, she could receive wrong message or did not receive the full message. Being a English speaking family, she has problem understanding what the Chinese teacher is talking. Blessed be the Lord, even so her Chinese results for the few tests were pretty good. All thanks to Lord Jesus for blessing her intelligence to pick up information and concepts fast.

As a clueless parent in this primary school system, I am clueless on how to guide Jc along. In fact, I hardly guide her most of the time, my time was spent with the Lord daily. When I realise she was weak in certain area in her English and Maths, Lord lead me to find assessments that could help, Lord helped to pick the books as there were so many in the market and I didn’t know what is suitable for her. Praise the Lord. However, as a clueless parent, I don’t know how about constantly guiding her. I was like teaching her 1 time and expecting that she pick it up.

Now her final year exam is coming to an end, only left the Chinese Paper 2 that is on next week. As you read my previous panicky post on her, I have slowly learned to rely on Lord to bless her, as He promised that He will teach our little ones. Praise the Lord!

Recently as I meditated Psalm 115:14, this is what Lord promised me: ‘Lord will surely bless Jc in her studies. I will take away her lack of concentration and focus. I will bless her with good understanding of all her subjects including Chinese. I will bless her with boldness and confidence. She will be a well-loved student and friend in the eye of the teachers and classmates and friends. There is a growth period for Jc. The changes will take place from P2-P5’ Praise the Lord!!!!

As I place my trust in Him on leading my girl, Lord is leading Jc through a learning curve. Now I get a better understanding of Lord’s blessing on studies. He could bless the kids with the intelligence and understanding to study and the focus and concentration needed. But for pumping of information that is needed in the learning process, we have to make sure it is properly feed to our little one.

It is like my personal experience, Lord could bless me the interest to read the bible and the endurance to complete it. But I have to pick up the bible and start reading. Lord leads me through this 1 year encounter with Jc and what He blessed me that now, I finally knows how His blessing on studies works. Praise the Almighty Lord Jesus, who is always so caring and so sweet to all His Children. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Amen!

The Glory of the Lord

What an amazing day for me today. Lord is so GOOOOOOOD. :D This is how the story starts:

Usually, we gives Jc $1 coin to bring to school for recess, with packed food and drink from home. There were quite many times that she put her purse with her lunch box in the school canteen and went playing with her friends. For many months, there is this someone who would steal her money. As it happened in the canteen, we could not pin point the one stealing. The only way was to get my girl to carry her purse in her pocket. However, at time she forgot and the thief came again. It happened too often to not think if it was from someone Jc knows.

Yesterday, Jc had 30cents in her purse, so I added a S$1 for her recess and another $1 coin for her to get her marker. She had forgotten to put her purse in her pocket again. The thief stole $2 from her, leaving behind the 30 cents. I was kind of fed up with this stealing, but nothing I could do.

Today, I give Jc $1 for her recess and another $1.50 for the marker. During recess, she called me and when I checked with her if she has bought her marker, she told me that she did not have enough money. I was puzzled and she told me her good friend took some of her money because she did not bring any.

As Jc left only 30cents with her, I was wondering how much the girl, Jy has taken. So I called Jy’s mum about wanting to find out how much she borrowed. As this was the 2nd time that Jy has been taking Jc’s money, her mum was pretty upset and went to school to scold her. It was a big hoo har that the form teacher called me up to inform me to complain to school and not the mum. The teacher has told Jy that she is to borrow from teacher and not take from friends.

Her mum, E, questioned her. She told her mum that in school, Jc and another guy classmate, Te borrowed from her too. So the mum was thinking, if everyone did the same, no wonder her girl did it too. The thing is, both Jc and Te did not borrow from others nor Jy, as we give enough money to them.

As Jy dragged Te into the picture, Te’s mum wanted this case to be verified so as to return her son’s innocent. I pray for Lord’s hand to manifest on this situation and plea the blood of Jesus over the 3 kids. I prayed to Lord that through His spirit, they will speak the truth.

Jc used to play daily after school with Jy, so I was wondering how I am going to please this girl. Praise the Lord, He send Su and her 2 sons to me. My nephews were able to play with Jc and she was happy the whole afternoon.

Jy was playing the same trick on her mum again. Months ago, when they were still new in school, Jy had taken Jc’s money and claimed that everyone did the same. At that time, as the kid was new to handle money and don’t know what theirs and not, I could only shut my mouth.

Today, she quoted Jc and Te also borrowed from her, Te’s mum want to verify face to face with Jy. We decided to meet at 5:30pm at the playground. Lord asked Su to go with me and she was to pray in the spirit quietly.

When E asked Jy if Jc has borrowed from her, she looked up and had a fearful expression and shook her head immediately. Then Te and his mum came. Te denied he has borrowed from Jy. When E asked Jy, Jy pondered. However after many ponder, she finally shook her head.

As we were walking home, Su asked Lord why Jy shook her head immediately upon looking at me. Lord told her giants. On further checking with Lord, Lord said He let Jy see the warrior angles that are protecting me. Then Su revealed that after Jy confirmed Jc did not borrow money from her, she stopped praying in the spirit. When Su saw that Jy did not reply her mum on Te, Su started praying in the spirit again. Lord revealed that He then showed Jy the 2 warrior angles again. Praise the Lord!

Jy was the 1st grand daughter of E’s family. Everyone dotes on her that she is not afraid of adult at all. Her mum commented that Jy lied so real that she didn’t know if she was speaking the truth. Lord knows that this little girl is not afraid of adult and have no problem lie her way out. So He let her see the warrior angles. Lord wants to stop her from lying and stealing again. He said that the angles will appear in her vision if she did evil again. Praise the Lord who cares for little one.

Oh yeah, as I put the case onto Lord’s nail-pierced hand after Jc’s call this morning, Lord stopped her from spending away the $2. She spent 40 cents and gave back the rest to Jc. Praise the Lord!

Daddy God, thank You for helping me out on this issue. Without You, I really don’t know how to handle such. Thank You that You are stopping d from using Jy. Hallelujah!!! Praise You, Lord Jesus, for Your Wonderful, Sweet Name!!!

The Blessing of the Lord set Me free and brings no harm

If any of you, my reader that has been following my blog from the beginning, you might wonder what happen to the thyroid that I am trusting Lord to heal.

2 month ago, as I went for my blood test, Lord told me that it would be my last round of blood test. However, as I visited the doctor, he told me that my condition seems stable. He wants to put me through 1 tablet of medicine to see if the condition remains. He said that if it remains stable, I can be off taking the medicine. That day, Lord through my sis, Su, told me that I am healed. Lord has healed me. I decided not to take the 1 tablet of medicine and trusted Lord that I am healed.

2 days ago, suddenly I recalled that my next test is coming soon. I have to check when the appointment is. Usually I put my blood test form and appointment card at my shelf. I could not find it there. Next I search my bag and my table; there is no sign of them at all. Then Lord revealed to me that He has taken away my appointment card and blood test form. He even said that He has deleted my appointment in the hospital data. Haha…no wonder Lord said the last test is the last one.

I called Su to double confirm for me. Su shared that the same thing happened for De’s injured wrist. Lord told her that her son was healed. Hospital smsed her once about the appointment and had since never call again. Praise the Lord! So, yes, finally I am free from this bondage. Hallelujah!!!

Oh yeah, the cough that refused to go is gone too. As I takes Holy Communion and trusted the Lord that in Him, I am healed, the healing came through. Today, Lord leads me to pray in the spirit the 1st thing as I wake up. He told me I am cleared of it. As blessing is coming, Lord is making sure that I am healthy to receive His great blessings. Praise the Lord.

Father God, thank You for loving me so much, as I read back my own entries in March and February, I realised that You have been loving me so much that daily, Your Grace flows strongly over my life. Praise You for being such a loving and wonderful Daddy! Hallelujah!!!

Is This a Gift?

Based on NCC today’s Daily Devotion, I would like to share about the gift that each of us have. From my post I had written sometime back, you can see that young time, mum said that I ‘big mouth’, whatever she shared with me I broadcast to other. Is this a gift? My sis, Su, over spend her monthly salary that debts piled up with different banks around Singapore. Her ‘no sense on the value of money’ is this a gift?

To us, human mind and understanding, and the negativity of this world, the only comment that people would say is BAD!!!! This is the human eyes looking at things around us. But, what did God, our Beloved Daddy, sees? Beauty is each of us in His eyes. How can we see ourselves by looking through the eyes of Lord Jesus is depended on how close a relationship you want to have with your Heavenly Daddy.

This is what He revealed to Su:
Daddy is happy when we:
1) listen to His words (sermons)
2) read the bible to understand Him
3) have problem look for Him, nothing for you, all about Him. Lord is happy to serve you.

Lord sometime back revealed to me that He is blessing my hubby to a management post. I told Lord, my hubby, Pr, prefers technology and he prefers to concentrate on his interest, he is not interested to be a manager! Lord replied me that He will change Pr. This was revealed to me about a year ago. Praise the Lord!

Lately, looking at Pr’s department development and where the director overseeing them is moving the team, I could see Lord’s hand is on it. He got Pr’s colleague to be the manager of the team and told him that he must set up the department up. This colleague, SF, wants to go to China to work. His boss said that he must set up the department, from 3 of them to a bigger team, train Pr to take over the job, and then he can go for his China post. Praise the Lord!

Don’t this sound like Canaan, which Lord blessed the Israeli people? The giants went in there to dig wells, planted fruit trees, etc. Then Lord led the Israeli to victory over the giants and occupied the land. This manger post is not what Lord final destination for Pr. In His ‘tele-conversation’ with me, He told me that He is blessing Pr to be a Director, International level. Praise the Lord for His Goodness.

Su’s elder son was a very low self esteem boy. In Primary 1 -6, Su said that he always got red marks rotating around the subjects. To many, he looks down and out. But, He is not so in the eyes of Lord. Recently, Lord revealed what De will be in future.

De has grown up pretty well. He is a sensible teenager and very caring about his mum. Sometime when Su was tired, he cooks dinner for the family instead. As he grows closer and closer to Lord, his below average result took a turn for the best. In this final year secondary 3 exam, he was telling his mum that he got 1st in class for Chinese. Yesterday he told her that he got 1st in Chemistry in class. Lord is leading him to his blessed position. Hallelujah!

Lately, while preparing Jc for her SA2, I really got a very big headache. There are a lot of areas that she needs lots of Daddy God Grace and Mercy to fill her up. If I look at her current performance, I would wonder what future does she has. What Lord revealed to me is a very good position that she will be holding in future. When Lord first revealed to me, I was like har, she is that? I totally cannot imagine her in that position at all. But I know Lord is always faithful. He told me that primary 1 to primary 5 will be her growing curve. I trust Lord is leading her to where He wants her to be. He is training her to reach her goal. Praise the Lord!

As Su and I walked closely with Lord, He blessed us each a very good job, those gifts that look bad in human, with His blessing, His Grace and His Mercy working for us, we are shaping into that blessed post He is blessing us. All these 2 years we look to Jesus, learn more about Him and realise how Good Daddy God is. With each increase in knowledge, Lord not only blessed us, but our family members too! Hallelujah!!!

Last Saturday night, I told Lord: ‘where in the world can I find such a person, No one can be like You, no one can be like You!’ Yes, no one can be even a mm close to how good Lord is. His blessing surpasses all the goodness I could get in this world!

He is blessing me a peaceful life, a wealthy lifestyle and a blessed family where all of them will handle top position in future. Isn’t all these what we chasing after in the world? As I chase on Jesus instead of the world, Lord leads me and my family there, He also leading Su and her family there. What more can we ask, except to serve Him with all our hearts. Praise the Lord! Thank You, Daddy God!!! Hallelujah!!! Hallelujah!!!! Hallelujah!!! Amen!! Amen!!

End Time Revival

Last week Lord led me to wonder if end time has approached. Then He led me to listen to Pastor Prince Sermon, 18/04/2002 – 'The Gospel Revolution in the Last Days'. In this sermon, this caught my attention ‘In the last days, the Gospel of Grace will be preached throughout the entire world.’

This is what I catch today ‘The bible tells us this will happen because Isaiah 25:6-7 ‘On this mountain the Lord Almighty will prepare a feast of rich food for all people, a banquet of aged wine – the best of meats and the finest of wines. On this mountain he will destroy the shroud that enfolds all people, the sheet (Law) that covers all nations;’

2 Corinthians 3:13-14 ‘We are not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face to keep the Israelites from gazing at it while the radiance was fading away. But minds were made dull, for to this day the same veil remains when the old covenant is read. It has not been removed, because only in Christ is it taken away.'

Lord leads me to realise that this is happening because Pastor Prince’s sermons on Jesus, Grace and Truth, is now being broadcast in the net like youtube, in Daystar and many other Christian satellite channels around the world. ABC, a family TV station, has telecast it in their primetime too. People around the world is waking up to the goodness of Jesus and realizing that Daddy God loves them. You just have to go to facebook and look for Joseph Prince, you will get people commenting that through his sermons, they finally knows that they are Daddy God’s beloved.

After the above disclosure, Lord led Pastor Prince to preach on the 4 horse in the book of Revelation that Lord had get me to post in the previous post.

Since yesterday, I have this impression to look for Smith Wigglesworth prophecy. I had tried to search for it in goggle but could not find anything. Today, I try searching for ‘Smith Wigglesworth vision’ instead. In this website, http://lit4ever.org/revivalforum/index.php?topic=90.0, I found several of his vision that Lord disclosed to him about the end time.

This is what caught my eyes this morning: ‘'I see the greatest revival in the history of mankind coming to Planet earth, maybe as never before. And I see every form of disease healed. I see whole hospitals emptied with no one there. Even the doctors are running down the streets shouting.'’

This is what Lord revealed to me in my meditation of Deuteronomy 28:12 ‘The Lord will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands.’ Lord said: ‘Daddy God will bless you with strong healing power that will heal all diseases and chase off all demons. Your house (church) will be a great blessing; all people who come to you will get healed. Father God will make sure the command healing take place.’

Praise the Lord, for all these 3 confirmations, all linked up nicely. Praise Daddy God, Lord Jesus and Holy Spirit for His movement on earth in this end time. I pray that the veil of those children of God that still believes in the 10 commandments will be removed to see the Goodness of Jesus in this end time.

Praise the Lord Jesus, for His Almighty Name, Jesus Christ and for His Grace and Mercy pouring strongly over those who believe in Him. Amen! Amen! Amen!

Father God

Father God has revealed to me that I will be going into service soon. In today’s sermon, Lord revealed that I will be like Lord Jesus, in the form of laboring like an ox, have the strength of a lion, have the wisdom of God as an eagle, and have the love of man, when Pastor Prince talked about Revelation 4:6-7 ‘In the center, around the throne, were four living creatures and they were covered with eyes, in front and in back. The first living creature was like a lion, the second was like an ox, the third had a face like a man, the fourth was like a flying eagle.’ This is a description of Lord Jesus in the book of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Pastor Prince share with us what Lord Jesus revealed in Matthew 24:3-9 and Revelation 6:1-6.

Matthew 24:3 ‘As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olive, the disciples came to him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?”’

1) Matthew 24:4-5 ‘Jesus answered:’ “watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in name claiming, “I am the Christ”, and will deceive many.’ – This is the white horse mentioned in Revelation 6:2 ‘I looked and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest’ – This evil spirit tries to impersonate Lord Jesus on the white horse! This false doctrine/thinking attacks towards the west of the tribe of Judah, which had the banner of lion.

2) Matthew 24:6 ‘You will hear wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come.’ – This is the red horse mentioned in Revelation 6:4 ‘Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make man slay each other. To him was given a large sword’ – This red horse attacks towards the east of the tribe of Ephraim, which had the banner of ox.

3) Matthew 24:7 ‘Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.’ - This is the black horse mention in Revelation 6:5 ‘When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come!” I looked and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, “A quart of wheat for a day’s wages and do not damage the oil and the wine!”’ – This black horse is going towards the north, where the camp of Reuben, which had the banner of a Man. Famine is current running in USA and the rest of the world is experiencing inflation. Pastor Prince shared that since 2000 till now, the no. of earthquakes are more than what the last 2000 years experienced.

4) Matthew 24:9 ‘Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me.’ – This is the pale horse mention in Revelation 6:8 ‘I looked. And there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague and by wild beasts of the earth.’ Lord revealed to Pastor Prince that the wild beasts are the viruses and bacteria. – This dappled horses towards south, where the camp of Dan, which had the banner of an eagle. Lord revealed to me that I am the one giving the people the new body, through healing their bodies. Actually, this should be Lord coming through me to heal them all. Thanks to Lord that give His honor to me instead. Praise the Lord!

Lord Jesus said in Matthew 24:8 ‘All these are the beginning of birth pains.’ Pastor Prince said that these are the beginning of sorrows, as the 4 spirits/horse comes from the rear end of us; we are to be like the tribes of Israel, with their camp front facing the Holy of Holy. Lord Jesus was nailed to the Cross that looked like the cross formed by North, South, East and West direction arrow. All the 4 spirits/horses were nailed onto Lord Jesus at the Cross. The spirits that come on the east and west were nailed to Lord Jesus palms at the cross.

We are not to look at problems, which comes from behind. But look to Lord Jesus, face the front. We are enclosed by the 4 faces of Lord Jesus, we are in Him, as we look to Jesus, and the 4 banner of the faces of Jesus will be rise up against the evil spirit. We need not look to our rear end for Lord will take care of us. Just like when Moses stick changed to a snake, Lord in the burning bush told him to take the tail, for Lord will take the head. As we trust Lord Jesus, He will deliver us and blessing will come from the rear end and over take us. Praise the Lord!

Btw, Lord revealed through Su, my sis that He is raising a group of army in this end time and I am one of them. Praise the Lord!

Father God, thank You for loving me so much that You send Lord Jesus to the Cross to save me from the 4 winds of the evil spirits. Lord Jesus, thank You for willingly went to the Cross for me. By Your Stripes, I am healed! Holy Spirit, thank You for witnessing the truth to me. In Christ, I am strong and healthy, rich and prosperous. I pray in Jesus Name, Amen and Amen!

Honor Reward

This week, Lord leads me to KCM site to look at this week sermons, host by Jeremy Pearsons and the special guest John Bevere, on ‘Living a Life of Honor brings God’s Reward’. This week sermons greatly open my eyes to the goodness Lord have for my life.

The word Honor flows throughout the bible and in worship songs, we sing about it. What is it all about? When we give God or a person honor, we highly esteem, respect Him/him. We have good opinion of Him/him and take Him/him as someone important. The opposite of honor is dishonor, which means to take God or a person as normal, nothing special.

John Bevere talks about honoring is a principle of Life that God instituted. The authority that a leader or a boss or someone of our superior holds come from God. No matter what this person holding the authority behaves, when we give honor to his authority, we create an opportunity for God to bless us. Praise the Lord!

He talks about in the 1980s, a black guy in the insurance company was due for promotion. His promotion was snatched from him and given to a white guy. He took it as racist decision and intended to sue the company.

That Sunday, his pastor talked about does not take one’s vengeance, let God handle for us instead. His plan had gone down the drain and he went to his pastor. They pray over it and commit the whole issue to God. On that Monday, he went to congrats the new boss and told him that he will be his best employee. He gave honor to the one, who got his promotion. Praise the Lord!

For a number of weeks, nothing happen. Then many weeks later, another insurance company contacted him and wanted to recruit him. Having established a good client base and good benefits, he was not willing to accept the offer and rejected this company. The representatives asked him to consider for a week and to talk to his wife.

He did not discuss with his wife. On the day before the meeting, he told his wife that he was going to up his salary 3 times to scare the offering company off. When they met, the offering company did not see what he wants; instead they showed him what they want to offer him. It was 4 times his salary. When he was still in the shock and too shock to talk, the offering company thought that he was unhappy with their offer and up their offer to him. He told them that as a Christian, he wants to go home to discuss with his wife first.

He and wife prayed about it and Lord revealed that he had committed the issue to God and this was His promotion for him. He finally accepted the offer and a number of years later, he was promoted to hold a regional position! Praise the Lord!

John Bevere has talked a lot about what this honoring people around us, in our work place, at home (to parents, kids) would set up a position for God to greatly bless us. This honoring is especially for those that we think have dishonored us. When we honor them, we position ourselves for Lord to bless us. Praise the Lord!

As I talked to my eldest sis about my soon to come blessing and to lead her closer to Lord, she was telling me about I should pay for the maid that my brother insisted to get for my parents. We(me and Su) were against it but brother went ahead. We had told them we are not going to pay for it. As I learn about this honoring principle, to honor the one who dishonor me, Lord give me the grace to practise it in real life.

This morning, as I am worshiping Him, Lord gives me an idea to pay for the whole 2 year cost of the maid. When I accept the idea to honor this issue and my brother, I have peace and joy in my heart. All the nasty feeling towards the whole disagreement issue goes into thin air with this Grace. Now the song, I see Grace, is playing…

Daddy God, thank You for sending Lord Jesus to die at the Cross for me. Lord Jesus, thank You for willingly went to the Cross and did a Perfected Work on the Cross for me. Holy Spirit, Thank You for being the witness in my life about Completed Work of Jesus. Because of all that Lord Jesus had Done, I could walk in this Love of Yours and honor those that dishonor me. Thank You for being my Rewarder, You creates so much opportunity for me to receive more blessing from You. Praise You, Lord! Praise Your Sweet and Beautiful Name, Lord Jesus Christ! Amen! Amen!
