This coming July
Joshua 6:1-5, "Now Jericho was securely shut up because of the children of Israel; none went out, and none came in. And the LORD said to Joshua: “See! I have given Jericho into your hand, its king, and the mighty men of valor. You shall march around the city, all you men of war; you shall go all around the city once. This you shall do six days. And seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark. But the seventh day you shall march around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets. It shall come to pass, when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet, that all the people shall shout with a great shout; then the wall of the city will fall down flat. And the people shall go up every man straight before him.”
The month of July is the month for breakthrough. Jericho represents the world and Israel the church. A lot of God's promises to us will materialize in July. Perhaps nothing came through in January, then again it was the same in February, March, April, May and June.
Just like the Israelites had to march around for 6 days and nothing happened, we had to persist for the last 6 month. Jericho (7 alphabets) had not fallen to us and was securely shut up (verse 1). We could not possess our destiny as the devil had put up all sort of barriers to shut us out. Friends, just persist and keep on praising Him as Paul and Silas did inside the prison, as God will intervene and open up prison gates.
All that has been promised to us may seem securely shut, but surely with each month or each march around Jericho, each barrier is crumbling down.
Just praise Him in July. Praising Him is the key to your Jericho crumbling down. All gates will have to open before the Lord, the Lord of host.
Psalms 24:7-10.
Lift up your heads, O you gates!
And be lifted up, you everlasting doors!
And the King of glory shall come in.
Who is this King of glory?
The LORD strong and mighty,
The LORD mighty in battle.
Lift up your heads, O you gates!
Lift up, you everlasting doors!
And the King of glory shall come in.
Who is this King of glory?
The LORD of hosts,
He is the King of glory. Selah

New office at Solaris Mont Kiara
After prayer meeting last night, I whisked Ps.Charles away to look at the new office I am thinking of buying and then adjourned for supper.
Praise God that Ps.Charles confirmed that the Lord has intended this office to be a launch pad for my entrance as a global businessman. This is a global address and only the beginning.
The unit is 6.5. Six (6) is the number for dominion as God gave man dominion on the 6th day. Father has 6 alphabets and Father's day falls in the 6th month. Five (5) is the number for grace. Praise God that by His grace my company will take dominion of the healthcare, beauty and wellness markets wherever we go. This is God's promise and by His grace it will come to pass. Amen.

Nazareth, Hometown of Jesus
Archaeological Find
Today Nazareth is a bustling Arab-Jewish city built atop around the ancient village, located in the southern hills of lower Galilee.
Description of the Find
The modern Church of the Annunciation (above) stands over an ancient church building. Excavations in the church and around its grounds have turned up silos, olive oil presses, foundation of houses, and many artifacts from Christ's times. The nearby Church of St.Gabriel stands over the city's ancient well, and the well is still fed by fresh spring water.
Importance of the Find
Little would be known about the town where Mary received the angelic news that she would give birth to Christ, and where Jesus grew up, if it were not for the Christian holy places and archaeology. Matthew 2:23. 4:13, Mark 1:9, and Luke 1;26-28 give the New Testament accounts of the events connected with nazareth. John 1:46 also mentions Nazareth.

Education is important
In the process of shifting houses, I discovered an award given to me.
These days the standard of education is so low in Malaysia. The rankings of our universities are low and rank poorly in the global ratings. How good can our schools and universities be when our Education Ministers (and other ministers of the cabinet) mostly send their children to study abroad at a young age?
We save up hard earned cash to send our children to universities abroad and if we cannot afford it we will send them to a local private university college. Oh Lord have mercy and provide for those who ask for provision from you.
I praise the Lord that I had the best of opportunities in education and made the most of it, but this I know is not the case for all. In the world there are many who are more talented, more faithful and more compassionate than any of us, yet their lives do not know anything else other than a hard life on the land, poverty and civil wars.
Proof for the Bible (1)
The Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem
Archaeological FindArcheology has shown that the use of caves as animal stables in the Holy Land has been a common practice from very ancient times. Ancient records show that for at least two centuries before a church was built, Christians had marked this particular cave as the place of Jesus' birth.
Importance of the Find
Matthew 2:1-8, Luke 2:4-15, and John 7:42 all identify Bethlehem as the place of Jesus' birth. because Joseph and Mary could find no room at the village inn and the newborn Jesus was laid in a manger (animal feedbox), it has been assumed that the birth took place in a stable. Archeology and tradition combine in this instance to lend both accuracy and insight to the Gospel accounts.

End times
Picture of cars jamming to pump petrol in a Caltex station in SS4 Petaling Jaya.
Petrol will rise RM0.78 per liter as of midnight to RM2.70 per liter. This is a 40% increase in a country that is a net exporter of oil (very odd).
This increase will hurt the Malaysian public like never before. People will be shaken and be fearful. Prices will all increase across the board. Businesses will suffer and people will find it hard to make ends meet.
The Bible has already said that at the end-times, people will find that their salaries cannot even help them put food to mouth. The world is being shaken and God is asking the masses to turn to Him. He is the only hope and and only true answer. He is their salvation.
To us Christians we are not to fear the "fear of the world", for those who dwell in the shadow of the Almighty will find refuge in His love and protection. He is our Provider and our Source.

Don't trust men
The Bible says that a man's heart is wicked beyond comprehension.
It is true!
How many people's heart are truly God-centered rather than self-centered? Even a lot of Christians are not truly Christ -centered. Even if my enemies are reading this posting I do not fear them as I know my God well enough over the years to know that He is with me.
Most people you deal with in business think of themselves first before others, even before their boss, let alone you.
Men will always fail us. God will never fail us. It is foolish to trust in the promises of man. I rather lose everything from men and trust God, than to trust in the promises of men.
When God is with me, who can be against me? If those who turn against me, let God deal with them. God will bless those who bless me, and curse those who curse me. The anointing of God flows from us, whom are chosen of God. Those that bless us will be blessed and those that work against me will be cursed. Never touch the anointed of God! I say this with humility as we abide and trust in the God's word.
I will not stray away from the course that God had set me.

Grace Assembly, Klang
I spoke at Grace Assembly on a popular topic, "Age Without Getting Old" to 400 plus people. I thank God for giving me this opportunity as it was the first time I had spoken Mandarin in a church. After the talk I went back to my seat but Ps Ericson announced that I will minster to those that needs healing and he asked me to return to the stage to minister to the those who wanted healing. As I return to the stage again I was telling the Lord how could He get me to do this with no warning and furthermore I had not been praying, read the Bible or attend any church for > 1 year.
However to my surprise many turned up for the altar call (>100) but I only managed to minister to 80 people who came to the altar and it took me 2 hours to complete the task (talk was only 1 hour). I prophesied and they cried so I must have said things correctly and from God. I laid hands they were slained in the Spirit and healing was delivered to people who came with ailments and pains.
With humility, it was my first time and I never expected to had to do this and have never done it before (though I attended Deeper Life Seminars under Ps.Vernon Falls and had been trained to move in the gifts of the Holy Spirit). I am blessed that God trusted me to minister before His people for the Lord must have impressed upon Ps Ericson's heart to ask me to do this.

All glory to Jesus for I am nothing apart from Him and can do nothing apart from Him.
