444

Many years ago a Chinese friend told me that the Chinese do not like the number four because it sounds similar to the word death. Ever since I’ve heard this as a teenager I generally stayed away from number four. Although I’m not Chinese I respected their opinions.

Believe

Luke 1:45 – You are blessed because you believed that the Lord would do what he said.

It’s been four months since I’ve been living out my word of the year “Believe”. (I follow the academic year so it started early September.) Luke 1:45 is my backbone verse for my word, and the Holy Spirit has been faithfully giving me other scriptures to keep on encouraging and inspiring me to stand firm on my word “Believe”.

The Cost of Being a Disciple.

Luke 14:25-27 (NLT)

25 A large crowd was following Jesus. He turned around and said to them, 26 “If you want to be my disciple, you must, by comparison, hate everyone else—your father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even your own life. Otherwise, you cannot be my disciple. 27 And if you do not carry your own cross and follow me, you cannot be my disciple.

Updates and more.

Wow I can’t believe it’s been since March 2017 when I wrote my last post! I have been very busy with life and family duties, relationships, etc; and my service time has been taking care of the prayer ministry the Lord has given me to lead. God sends many people into this prayer group for their ministry. It has been a revolving door. God has been faithful to provide few core ladies who have stayed and ministers with me too. The enemy worked overtime on me and the core prayer ladies in order to destroy our group. I have learned that the enemy does not like praying saints! BUT God…! Need I say more?! 🙂

Proactive Faith

Dodie Osteen is the mother of Joel Osteen, the famous pastor from Texas. I remember once Joel Osteen was talking about his mom’s terminal liver cancer. She was released from the hospital with only few weeks to live. Christmas was coming up, and Joel and his siblings knew how much she always wanted to own fancy China dishes. They were young but pooled their money together to buy her a set of fancy China dishes. However the store lacked one more setting to make a complete set. Now, Joel and his siblings had to decide at the store, “do we order the extra setting?” knowing well what the doctors have said. Back in those days, with the manufacturer being in England and the dishes made with high standards, the store said it’ll take up to six months.  Continue reading Proactive Faith

Interesting Worship

My church announced few months ago that due to increase in attendance, they will be adding an additional service on Sundays so there will be three services. However adding another service will cut off more time, and so each service will be only an hour long. When I first heard this announcement I was disappointed because I knew worship time will be cut as well. I really enjoy worship and I know the Holy Spirit used this time to minister to me mightily especially in the beginning. I was concerned about the quality ministry for new converts especially since many are not connected to a small group yet. I keep these concerns in my heart.  Continue reading Interesting Worship
