Love Thy Enemy

Lord Jesus told us in Matthew 5:44 ‘But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven.’ And in Matthew 5:46, He asked ‘If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that?’

There was once, this person told me that the colleague was troubling her. I told her to pray for this colleague, this person replied that she will not as she did not like her. On further encourage her, for her personal peace, finally she prayed for the colleague. Recently, she told me that a certain relative fighting for inheritance and had troubled her mum. I told her to pray for this relative, she was reluctant to do that. When she disclosed that that relative had indirectly troubled her sister and her, I asked if it is worthwhile to pray for this relative to get peace for her, her sister and her mum. Finally, she said okay.

I thank to Daddy God who blesses me with sensitivity to know that when trouble brews, it’s d behind it, not the person creating the problem. This I have shared with Su, my sister and we usually manifest the Lord’s hand and plea the blood on the person concerned. Usually, we could see a sharp change in the mood of that person, from nastiness to calmness. Isn’t it wonderful if most of us help our dear enemy clears being used by the adversary? Life would be better for us and for others. Praise Lord Jesus for this advice.

Recently, Jc kept mentioning that she missed me in school. I had given her a photo of me to put in her bag, so that she could look at me whenever she misses me. This evening, she proceed to crying about missing me and worrying about next Thursday she has to stay longer hours in school and missing me. She was supposed to sleep and yet she was worrying and crying. Hubby tried to convince her that she will enjoy the 1 extra hour of play program that the school is going to conduct to find out their talent/interest. But she was not convinced.

Lord popped an idea into me and I decided to teach her to cast her worry to the Lord. I get her to repeat after me, ‘Lord Jesus, I am missing my mummy, but I don’t want to miss her. I pass this to You to help me take over.’ Praise the Lord, Lord Jesus takes over from her and blessed her with Peace. With this, she has fallen asleep. Praise the Lord!

Sometime back, I saw hubby argued much with me about information about Jesus. He was very strongly coming against me. From past experience, I know that when a person reacted in very strong emotionally, usually it’s d behind it. After manifest Lord’s hand and plea the blood over him, I could see that he was back to his calm self again.

When trouble brews, be calm and pray for the person that is creating trouble for you to feel troubled. You will be surprise how Lord could change the emotion of that person. Praise the Lord! We just need to flow with Him and He will surely greatly bless us.

May this help you in your daily walk with Lord Jesus. Amen!

The Righteous One will Reign

Sunday, Su and I went for the morning service. Praise the Lord, it’s a long time since we are queuing that early in the morning. Lord blessed us with reserved seats and we were so happy. Daddy God, thank You for the blessings.

Sunday is one good sermon. Pastor Prince preached that:

Jesus + nothing = everything

Jesus + something = nothing

When Lord looks at us, these are what He sees: Jew, Gentile and the Church of God. Lord is talking about His people: Jeremiah 23:3-4 ‘”I myself will gather the remnant of my flock out of all the countries where I have driven them and will bring them back to their pasture, where they will be fruitful and increase in number. I will place shepherds over them who will tend them, and they will no longer be afraid or terrified, not will any be missing,” declared the Lord.’

The message to unveil to the sheep is Jeremiah 23:6 ‘The Lord Our Righteous’

Pastor Prince talked about leader should grow slowly, from serving the sheep and slowly move up. He said those who go up too fast tend to feed their ego. Thus go into sin.

Biblically, we are in the very blessed period. Daniel 9:23-24 ‘As soon as you began to pray, an answer was given, which I have come to tell you, for you are highly esteemed. Therefore consider the message and understand the vision:

Seventy “seven” are decreed for your people and your holy city to finish transgression, to put an end to sin, to atone for wickedness, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the most holy.’

The seventy ‘seven’ = 490 years

Abraham to Exodus – 490 years

Exodus to Solomon’s Temple – 490 years

Solomon’s Temple to Nehemiah’s Temple – 490 years

Nehemiah’s Temple to Jesus – 490 years

31^st Oct 1517 (Reformation date) to 31^st Oct 2007 – 490 years

Pastor Prince said that church body has not seen the blessing of Solomon Temple for a long time, but it is going to happen now, since 31^st Oct 2007. Pastor Prince said he has preached more about the Righteousness of Christ since 31^st Oct 2007.

Romans 8:33 Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies.

Be conscious instead, of your righteousness in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:21), and you will reign in life! (Romans 5:17)

We are to realise that we are the righteousness of God in Christ. As we learn more about this Righteousness in Christ, the fruits of this righteousness will come our ways. Blessed is the one who knows he/she is the righteous one in Christ, said the Lord. Praise the Lord for this revelation as I wrote this paragraph. :D

These are the few faces of Christ in the book of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John:

King – Matthew – Purple colour – Lion

Servant – Mark – Red colour – Cow

Man – Luke – White colour – Man

God – John – Blue colour – Eagle

We are to grow to be like Christ, through Christ, we will show different personality as needed in the environment. Purple in our life is royalty.

In the Song of Solomon 1:7, we are asking Lord, ‘Tell me, you whom I love, where you graze your flock and where you rest your sheep at midday. Why should I be like a veiled woman beside the flocks of your friends?’

Lord replied us in Song of Solomon 1:8, ‘If you do not know, most beautiful of women, follow the tracks of the sheep and gaze your young goats by the tents of the shepherds.’

Lord is telling us we are the fairest among women, and the shepherd tent is the place of rest. The Church is the place of feeding and rest in God words and peace. Hallelujah!!!

Pastor Prince said that sheep will stink, we have our bad traits but Shepherds are not to beat the sheep. In Psalm 23:3 ‘He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.’ These paths of righteousness is around the mountain, sheep goes around the mountain and slowly, the way will lead to the top. Praise the Lord!

Lord likes to get shepherd of sheep to be shepherd of His people. Psalm 78:70-72 ‘He chose David his servant and took him from the sheep pens; from tending the sheep he brought him to be the shepherd of his people Jacob, of Israel his inheritance. And David shepherded them with integrity of heart; with skillful hands he led them.’

Isaiah 40:11 ‘He tends his flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart; he gently leads those that have young.’

Praise the Lord for this revelation. I felt so blessed and thank You, Daddy God, for your leading. I am the righteousness of God in Christ and surely, blessing will come chasing after me in the Name of Jesus. Lord Jesus, thank You for the perfectly perfect work on the Cross. Thanks You for Your Stripes, Your Blood, Your Death and Your Obedience. I pray in Jesus Name, Amen!!!
