The Blessing of Abraham

This is the promise, Abba Father told Abraham years ago:

Genesis 22:17
'I will surely bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sand on the sea shore. (Promise 1)
Your descendants will take possession of the cities of their enemies, (Promise 2)
and through your offspring, all nations on earth will be blessed, (Promise 3)
because you have obeyed me.'

Today, I want to talk about this blessing of Abraham. I have prayed to Lord that not by power and not by might, but by his spirit, to let us know His Blessing of Abraham clearly.

Many times in church, when Pastor Prince mentioned about how Abba father has blessed the natural descendants of Abraham, he like to use the word which means a tiny bit or the residual. However, every time when I heard him proclaimed that, my heart always cringed. It just not sound comfortable to me.

Looking at the list of brands and company names, singers, actors, doctors and the list goes on that Pastor Prince and Pastor Lian showed to us, you will noticed that practically all that we used or enjoyed come from what Lord has greatly blessed them and is still blessing them, example is Facebook owner, who is also a Jews.

If you read Promise 3 of the Abraham blessing, that is exactly what Lord has been doing. As long as they do not tried to get the blessing of God through the Law, Lord's hand is mightily with them to let the world know that His Grace and Mercy is still flowing through Abraham descendants. Lord is a Faithful God in the past and in the present. As we can see His Mighty Hands working through the descendants of Abraham, the Jews. So, how can this be a tiny drop or the residual? How many of us have get any better then those Jews that did not go by the law but by the Grace of Jesus?

Lord Jesus has said that we, who are the spiritual descendants of Abraham, is grafted into the natural olive tree, to receive the free favor that Jesus has promised us that through His work 2000 years ago, at the Cross of Calvary. We, who believed, are grafted into the natural olive tree, to receive this free favour. We are the par-taker of His Grace and Mercy. But that does not mean that there are no Jews out there that is not receiving this Free Favour and Abundance.

As what the list of great blessings that comes through the offspring of Abraham that did not follow the law, we, the spiritual Children of Abraham and co-heir to this Great Blessing of Abraham, through the Righteousness of God in Christ that we are cleansed whiter than snow, to enjoy this Abraham blessing. It is when we see what Abba Father is doing and can also do in our lives through our believing Abraham and walking closely with Jesus that we are greatly blessed.

Our spiritual eyes and hearts need to be open to see the greatness of Jesus on the Cross and the reality of God, the Father, promised to Abraham and his descendants – be us the natural or the spiritual descendants.

We should not discount what Lord's Mighty Hand is doing in the lives of the Jews to bless the world, that is not a residual nor tiny. Abba Hand is Mighty, His Blessing is never tiny nor residual, it is Abundance and more Abundantly! Even the Jews might not know how nor why they are blessed, but surely they know they are the descendants of Abraham and God has promised Abraham. Glory Glory! Amen Amen!

The Eagle

It is an eye opening to go Sunday service and let Reverend Col Stringer bathed me with the magnificent of eagles, what Lord Jesus had died to put me there. Glory Glory!As I heard him talked about crows have to busy flapping his wings to get anywhere where eagles waited upon the hot current of Jesus to sail the sky, above all the problems of this world. Glory Glory!

As he was talking about eagles, I was wondering what Lord is trying to tell me about Him. I was captured by the description of Tornado, when those in the world faced it - houses fly and vehicles overturn and all over the place. But for eagles, they headed for the Tornado and have fun in the forces of nature.

I was wowing over this when I realised what Lord have been leading me. At this point of my life, it is the start of the next mega storm but I am in the mid of the Shalom Peace. Glory Glory!

After delaying my ex for a couple of weeks on my CPF statement, he had came real forceful and eager to force me to get it out. He had wanted it on Saturday but I told him Sunday, his patience was running thin. But the moment he had the print out in his hand, it was like he won the big price on lottery, and had some laughter and fun with Jc. It was sick to see him switch his mood like lighting. Lord placed me in His Peace and I was not affected.

I was in peace but mum and Su were not. Mum don't know about the goodness of Jesus and had nagged ways of counter shoot for me. Su was also heated up when she heard of what Lord had revealed about ex. Actually, Jc told me this...it was around 7+pm last night and I wondered when Jc would be back and sms ex. He was in the car with Jc and had told Jc, “Never!” but he replyed that, “you missed her?”

This is the plan he had, to transfer my name out of this apartment and put Jc name in to form the family unit needed by HDB. Lord revealed that he is going to use this apartment for his next marriage. But he has no intention to put the girl's name in the apartment. He wanted the gain of this apartment to himself. Yes, I was sick of his selfishness but as I am in the Shalom Peace, I don't be bothered by it. Glory Glory!

I know Lord will surely move me out of here before the apartment goes to him. Surely I will. Glory Glory! Lord let me experienced the Mega Peace of God just like the Eagle above the current of heat on earth. I had been in this position for a long time and realise this is the position of Eagle at the sermon. Glory Glory! Amen Amen!

Holy Spirit – the Comforter

With Lord Jesus going to come on earth to do His Mighty Healing soon, Lord leads me to recall Holy Spirit, the Comforter and my Teacher and Mentor. Glory Glory!

How many of you have constantly talked with Lord, who is nearer than the closest person in your life? When you faced problems, do you talk to Lord or find a man to talk to?

Abba is my Great Comforter. When I was a young Christian, He led me to learn about the goodness of Jesus and Abba Father. When I have any incorrect believes, He will get Pastor Prince to preach the correct believes and knocked me on the head to take note! He emphasize Lord Jesus goodness in the worship songs and sermons. Many a time, I used that to stand strong in the Lord for deliverance. Hallelujah!

At that time, I did not realise ex did not love me. Out shopping or whatever things, he always considered for himself and got me to do whatever he didn't feel like doing. As I obeyed and sadly do it, I would talked to the Lord, telling Him why I married this man, etc etc, He always whispered that 'Abba Father loves you' to comfort me. Lord is the greatest comforter as He could deliver a change to the situations and the feelings, while man's help is limited. Glory Glory!

Through these 4 years, whatever I needed to know, Lord could even get mobile phone to call to me without that person noticing and could get mobile phone activated so that I could hear and understand what was happening behind my back. Many a time, Lord also leads me to pray for various people in their needs of help. Glory Glory!

Su and me were not that close previously. As we two came to the Lord, Lord put interest to share about Jesus in both of us that grows our bond together. He has a purpose as Su will be my praying partner during healing. I read Smiths Wigglesworth's book before and noticed he had to look for a faithful man in all places of healing. At time, the choice is not the best and he had to shut them down and prayed to Lord himself.

I prayed to Lord to provide me a permanent partner so that I need not go around looking for faithful man all the time. Initially, WK was closer to me and she supposed to be my praying partner. But as she fallen from Grace, Su came closed to Lord after some tough leading by the Lord that Lord is surprised in her coming close to Him and assigned her to be my praying partner. Glory Glory! Amen Amen!

Why Lord brings Su to be my praying partner? This is so that I can remain calm in Him and not grow into pride over what He planned to do through my body. Both can remind each other of the pride or fallen from Grace to walk back to Lord again. Glory Glory!

With ex hidden skill of the facet of sincerity, I have no idea at first. It was the 9 months of great distress and much prayer that I could not trust what he said to me anymore. As no one can keep up with a lie, over time, he leaked out things that he was hiding from me unintentionally. He bought a book on the ways to talk to people for success. At that time, we had yet to fallen out and he told me most of the skills mentioned he knows.

Then, when the marriage got bad, Lord slowly led me out of loving him and then revealed all his tricks to me. The nastiest of him I had seen, the quick switch to someone sweet and gentle I also have seen. He explained long before the divorce that he could talked in a gentle soothing way to calm the enemy and then could get things his way, like give them the slap, without they noticing it. Of course the after effect would be bad feeling, but whatever he wanted to achieve he got it and gone. As Lord opened my eyes wider and seeing what he told me being act out on me, Lord let me recalled what he had told me and let me see that is a lie.

Lord opened my eyes to see this can of worms that I would never want to go back to him again if the chance come upon. Lord knew I am easy to be shaken, He opened different aspect of ex's badness for me to know him inside out thoroughly. So much so that I wondered why I was so blinded to marry him in the first place. Lord told me that when He rise me up mightily and richly, ex surely will want to share part of this wealth and the sexual enjoyment of the new body that Lord is blessing me.

Lord gave me so much and so confirming truth about ex that I will not want to take him back even when he became soft and gentle again. For I know he could. Just two illustrations, at that time, when things turning bad, he told daughter about loving her so much and none for mummy. When he saw I was feeling very down and sad, he could hugged me tightly and talked to me gently to give me that secure feeling that calm me down.

Even when Lord told me the truth over ex had done, he had always denied them fully. Lord let me saw his business outing was bringing ladies to resorts. I saw his digital camera as he was staying at home then. Months later, he could deny the photo Jc took with her mobile, from his mobile, of him kissing a girl, was the same girl that he went resort with. It was when I told him that I saw her on his digital camera on that resort outing that he finally admitted.

That is why, Lord took so long after divorce, a full 10 months after the divorce was finalised, to show to me how bad ex was that I slowly let go all the feeling for him. It was now that I could see him as a stranger. Whatever his bad intention for me, as Lord led me to walk in love, even for enemy, I have no bad feeling for him.

I asked Lord, His plan for ex's bad intention, to lead me to walk in His plan for that situation. Whatever Lord told me, I just obeyed even to give up the pursue of the sales of this apartment. Even though others would want me to fight with him and get a portion out of that sales. To others, I might look stupid but I just let the case go. I trust Lord's decision is the best and I just follow and walk His way. Glory Glory! Amen Amen!

Lord's shalom peace is always with me and I rather enjoy His Peace than fight over this petty issue! Glory Glory! Amen Amen! Abba father, thank You for constantly Loving me so much! Glory Glory! Amen Amen!

The Love of the Lord

This morning in church, there was one worship song that say that no matter where we are, Lord's love will surely shine in there. This lyrics let me recalled the time when Lord was testing me. He first let me have full understanding of His Love through Pastor Prince preaching. From there, I know I have a very loving Abba Father that even when my own dad died, I was not sad, partly I know he is in heaven with Jesus and partly, this is the main support, I have a heavenly daddy that loves me so much, so I felt compensated by the lack of the physical father love. Glory Glory!

During the 1 year plus of emotional testing, Lord many times brought me to my despair. I am one who do not express my emotion much, even the love of the Lord, I assumed He knows and did not tell Him much. During those trial time, He pretended to be a nasty task master and demanded that I proved myself. I cried a lot during that period! There was such a period where He brought me to the end of me, I could not take it any longer. I wanted to run away!

But having let devil disturbed for 3 years and ran to the Lord for protection, I know that in this whole universe, there is no way I could run, no holes for me to stuck my head in forever. It is with this understanding that after some silly crying, I came back to the Lord and told Him whatever test He wanted to test, put it forth, I will take it all. That's why I ever wrote here that this was the most difficult period and the after test period was the most relieved and most sweet.

Till today, then I realised that Lord put me through those emotional test to let me proclaimed that no matter what's the situation is, I am the Righteousness of God in Christ, in Him I have His Love, Joy and Peace. I realised that He wanted me to proclaimed all His Goodness. Yes, at that time, I know Jesus on the Cross had taken all the bad I faced, and I used that to come out of the trial.

Lord let me have a firm knowledge of Jesus on the Cross had done so much for me. He let me have a firm foundation in it. So that in this walk out to do His Job, if I face anything, I could stand strong and look to the Jesus on the Cross. Glory Glory! With this revelation, I experienced the love of Lord while worshiping Him in church, it was the Divine Joy that flows in abundance during the 2nd service worship. Glory Glory! Amen Amen!

Today's sermon, let me stand strong on what that is providing in me and through me. I used to have this attitude that it's the Lord who is doing the job, so I need not bother much, but from this 2 weeks sermons, I realised I must own it, that I am what Lord is coming through to be. It is when I proclaimed that I have the anointing in me that Lord could then come strongly in me. Glory Glory! Amen Amen!

I know Lord is getting me ready to get out to do His Job. I know it's almost time for Jesus 2nd coming. The happening in the world, be it the people or the nature, is moving towards great negativity. From church, Lord also proclaimed His Healing arms are coming to heal the sick. I know it's happening soon, the exact date I don't know, but I know it's very soon from all the signs. Glory Glory! Amen Amen!

Just like to share something I observe in my meditation. From reading the bible, I found I have missed out a lot, with this meditation, I could see the words of God clearer. From Pastor Prince preaching about the book of Revelation, what sink into me is about having the seal of Abba Father's name on the forehead, also, I learned about Revelation 14:9, where those people that worship the world and receive his mark on the forehead or on the hand, will drink the wine of God's fury.

I was so surprised to see in the book of Exodus, Lord talks about the forehead and the hand too. Exodus 13:9 'This observance will be for you like a sign on your hand and a reminder on your forehead that the law of the LORD is to be on your lips. For the LORD brought you out of Egypt with His Mighty Hand.' Glory Glory! Be it during Exodus time to the natural descendants of Abraham or to the spiritual descendants of Abraham now, Lord wants us to build up on His Words in our Inner Man.

In bible time, Jesus yet to be born and Holy Spirit yet to come, they had to by their own effort, munch on Lord's goodness, all of them. Now we, the spiritual children of Abraham, Lord wants us to munch His Word to know His Heart too. But now, in situation of being blocked by Satan of any feeling for Lord, we could always pray for Lord to pour His Abundance Grace and His Gift of Righteousness all over us and to seal us up in it and get Holy Spirit to lead in the reading, listening and meditation. Glory! Glory! Amen Amen!

Abba Father, thank You for the Great Love for me through the blood of Jesus and thank You for clothing me in the Righteousness of God in Christ. Thank You that Jesus had removed all my fallen from Grace and missing the mark. In Christ, I am the Righteousness of God. I received all that Jesus had walked righteously to achieve for me and all that He died for me. I received the full blessing of Abraham and the blessing of Deuteronomy 28. I am highly lifted up and greatly blessed. Glory Glory! Amen Amen! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

The Important of Love

This morning, while talking to mum about relationship, Lord revealed a lot to me. Gory Glory! Amen Amen!

In a broken marriage, the kids love both parents the most, it is hard for them to decide to stick to one parent instead. My girl after months of being with me and weekends with the dad, she wants more time with the dad. Recently, when ex brought her to meet girlfriend, she was feeling lonely when the 2 adults was chatting off. She lost her appetite a bit, that very day did not take dinner and subsequently eat a lot lesser than usual.

She intended to go her daddy place on Friday 2 weeks ago, but daddy said busy. In the end, when she when on Saturday evening, she saw some outing photos of ex and girlfriend on Friday to the Night Safari. She was extremely sad that she cried badly and wanted daddy so much when she came back to me. She even told me a few days later about she does not want marriage and want forever to stay with mummy. I had to call ex to show her more love and cares. Last night, at least her longing for her daddy was not so bad. Glory Glory!

Why these 10 years ex didn't know how to love me. He was born in a broken marriage, the parents was divorced when he was 5. His mum spent long hours working to support the 3 brothers that had no time for them. Ex younger days was spent time at the open space surrounded by low apartment buildings. He learned his survival tactic through dealing with those neighborhood kids.

As he is a shy boy, he must have talk in a way convincing to get friends. He fought with his brothers, who are 8-9 years older. There he built his muscles. He told me that in school days, kid tried to bully him, as he used to fight with his older brothers, the bully was not his match. Come to use speech to put people down, the years of training with the neighborhood kids plus his smartness, that the bully became a laughing stock instead.

With the skill acquired, he has no problem talking to those he wants to convince. That is why he is able to charm girls and a good skill to survive in his career. However, Lord revealed all his plan against me to me that I does not eat his sweet talk anymore. If you think his sweet talk is those cheeky talk, you are wrong, it's those sincere talk that broke my defence on jerks and blinded by his facade of sincerity. That is why Lord called him a skillful man in getting women! He knows how to show sincerity to people to his full advantage. That is why I need the Lord to reveal to me what he is up to. Glory Glory!

He is being very willing and agreeable to my recent request and even giving me more money than needed for Jc's tuition! I was wondering why his sudden pour of money into me again and now 2 weeks after that, he let me know about transferring my name out of this flat! He even tried to have conversation with me, lingering longer in this house when he picks and send back Jc, Even come into the computer room to linger...I was in it. As I asked him what he wanted as no letters for him to take, he lingered and wait for a few seconds to see if I look at him.

Lord has told me all that his plan and even get Jc to reveal long before the actual plan starts that I could see what he is up to. Glory that months ago, Lord let me watch a court case with him. It was about this man and woman originally live together in the man's house. As they split, the man disallowed the girl to go into his house to take her things. Judge Julia agreed to it as the house belongs to the man and all things in it classified as his. Lord let me watched this court show and ex agreed to the judge too.

I know, I have to move my things out before transferring my name out. He has been looking at what is being added to this house. If I didn't move my things out, he will claim they are his and there are no ways for me to claim my rights. As I know he is going to chase me out once he get sole ownership of this apartments. Even my girl agrees to it!!! She suggested to me weeks before!

Abba father, thank You for being faithful and surely, you will bring forth the apartment, you have prepared for me. I received it and thank You I have it. (Speak in faith as taught by Lord yesterday sermon!) Glory Glory! Amen Amen!
