The Power of Your Word

Have you realised the importance of speaking God Words instead of your own negative words? Many a time, we tend to talk about believe God for some blessings, and the next moment, wonder if we will get it. As our thoughts swing here and there, we talk it out to friends etc. You might think it is harmless. But, being King and Priest, what you said become so be it. The situation around you will only change if you change the words you speak.

Kr through a few months of counseling her, I realised that she believe in the negative situations she encounters daily instead of what Lord said He will provide. In some angry situation, she even claimed that she did not want the blessings! Recently, Lord had been leading her closely; even sent a few of her colleagues to encourage her to come closer. Lord had told her about blessing her position in her career. She chose not to believe it. I told her if she wanted her situation changed, she must be careful what she talked. But her emotional swing still around. Hopefully she gets better as time past.

Sometime ago, Lord led me to pray for my husband career promotion and salary increase. That night, I told hubby about it. He, being a non believer in the spiritual world, rejected my prayer. On further prompting, questioning him about why he didn’t like to be promoted and pay increased. In the end, he said pay increase ok, but not promotion. This husband of mine…hiaz…seem to be the only person around me that will reject blessings out right. Next month is his pay adjustment month. Well, he already knew the result. Yes, he got a better pay increase as compared to last year. Sad to say, since he rejected the promotion, the promotion went to his colleague instead. Hiaz…what can I say, as a wife, just stand by him and hopefully Lord open his eyes one day.

On the way back from my driving lesson today, my heart was rather heavy because I saw hubby pretty depressed. Lord talked to me. He told me that this encounter will enable hubby to come to him faster. Ok, Praise the Lord! Amen!

Lamb of God

This morning, miracle morning…haha…first time opens the bible early in the morning. I was reading the Genealogy of Jesus. Lord God had promised that the saviour will come from Abraham family line. But when I read to Matthew 1:16, ‘Joseph, the husband of Mary, whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.’, this gets me thinking…Lord Jesus supposed to come from Abraham family line, yet Jesus was produced not of Joseph’s sperm, how to group him under Abraham family line.

While thinking on this, the idea came to me. Abraham had brought Isaac up the mountain to sacrifice to God. In the end, Lord God provided a lamb sacrifice instead. Holy Spirit pregnant Mary so that Lord Jesus was born. Lord God did it this way so that the human sacrifice is a divine exchange, from Lord God!

From church I know Lord Jesus was born to die for us. I didn’t see the connection that clearly till this morning. Actually, not the first time reading the Genealogy but this time, I got the connection sink into my heart. Praise the Lord!

WK added another important point:

Lord Jesus is linked to Abraham, the man of faith. We, who are of faith of Lord Jesus, are sons of Abraham, as what the bible says. As such, we need not die because Lord Jesus, the Lamb of God had took our place, just like the lamb God put in the mountain, took Issac’s place. Praise the Lord, Christ Jesus!

Abraham gave God the right to give His beloved son, that is the New Covenant! Praise the Lord!
