Pray for Malaysia (2)

There are many things that has destroyed us in the past especially the judiciary. People have no confidence in the justice system and rightly so. There are people who promote bloodshed, immorality and injustice.

Pray as Psalms 149:5-9, "Let the saints be joyful in glory; let them sing aloud on their beds. Let the high praises of God be heard in their mouths, and a two-edged sword in their hands, to execute judgment on the nations and punishments on the people; to bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron; to execute on them the written judgment. This honor have all His saints. Praise the Lord".

There are princes in every nation that do what they like and think they are above the law and seem "untouchable".  Pray for God's righteousness to prevail and these people be exposed and punished.

KIT SIANG: WHY MALAY UNITY AND NOT MALAYSIAN UNITY
Wednesday, 23 July 2008 (MT)

(The Star) - The three dialogues between Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi and PAS decision makers raise the question why the Prime Minister was focusing on Malay unity rather than on Malaysian unity, DAP national advisor Lim Kit Siang wrote in his blog.

“Has he forgotten another of his pledges, to be the Prime Minister of all Malaysians and not just of any race?” asked Lim.

He was commenting on the three discussions that Abdullah held with PAS leaders, which began right after the general election in March.

Among the PAS leaders Abdullah met were deputy president Nasharuddin Mat Isa, Terengganu commissioner Datuk Mustapha Ali and Shah Alam MP Khalid Abd Samad.

Lim alleged Malaysian nation building had gone backwards and that the Vision 2020 objective of a “Bangsa Malaysia” was increasingly frowned upon as a misplaced target.

Prayer points:

Malaysia is a rainbow nation, where the ethnic diversity is a strength and the races should operate to fulfill the mandate to make this nation progressive and strong. We are all different colors in the rainbow and there should be unity in diversity.

The different races in Malaysia were divinely placed by God and are interconnected and complementary. the leaders need to start uniting Malaysians, not just Malays.

Proof for the Bible (6)

The Synagogue at Capernaum


Archaeological Find:

Archaeologists have  restored a synagogue that stood there some 350 years after Jesus' time. However, recently it was discovered that this synagogue was built over the foundation of the synagogue from Jesus' time, confirming that this is the place where important Bible events took place.

Importance of the Find:

Capernaum served as Jesus' headquarters during his ministry in Galilee. According to Mark 1:21-38, 3:1-6, Luke 4:31-37, and John 6:59, Jesus both taught and healed people in the synagogue.

All things are possible

With God all things are possible, for nothing is impossible with God (Luke 1:37).

In this season we need not only belief that God is for us , but that He is the God of all possibilities because for nothing is impossible with God. There may have been many chains and locks that the devil has put on our careers, business, family etc.

But the blood of Jesus unlocks all the chains of impossibilities. The doors may be ancient but before the name of the Lord all gates must be OPENED!

Psalms 24:7 reads, "Lift up your head, O you gates, be lifted up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in." Gates against our success, gates against the church and the gospel will have to be opened. No police nor army can block the move of the Lord.

In verse 8 the enemy asked "Who is this King of glory?".

He is the Lord Almighty, the King of glory. All gates has to be opened before Him. Where we have failed in the past, where our parents have failed in the past, we will succeed. Let our life not just be a 'story' but of 'glory'. I don't just want to be a story-teller, but a glory-teller.

I can do all things through Him who strengthens me (Philippians 4:13). Yes, ALL things, not just menial things.


 

God is in control

Anwar Ibrahim, the de facto opposition leader was arrested today. A warrant of arrest has been issued on Raja Petra Kamaruddin a popular political blogger.

But it is all part of the shaking up that God is doing in this country. Many gates of the devil are being unlocked and the impossibilities removed. You may not see it, but God is liberating this country for the sake of our spiritual cousins who remain in darkness and unreached. Revival is coming to this land, and may this nation be our inheritance. The gospel must be preached to all before the Lord returns. Whether individuals respond to the Good News of the gospel is a different matter. The ancient gate will be opened for all must hear the Truth and decide for themselves. 

Religion is something that comes from the heart. It cannot be forced or legalized. Many still live in darkness as it illegal for them to read the bible or to share the gospel with them. Darkness cannot withstand light, as it reveals the former. In total darkness, even a beacon of light illuminates the truth. Truth will itself reveal what is false. The only way to keep light from illuminating in darkness is to keep out the 'light'.

Fuloushou


Taking a picture in Xintiandi, Shanghai with the sculpture of Fuloushou (God of fortune, prosperity and longevity).  

The Lord Almighty is the Lord of time and chance (fortune) and all things happen for the better for those who love Him. The Lord is my portion and I inherit what Jesus had earned for me on the cross as the Bible says  "that though He was rich, yet he became poor, so that through His poverty that we can become rich. Lastly, in Psalms 91, it reads, "with long life I will show Him my salvation". He is my all in all.

Shopping Malls in Beijing

I first visited China in 1996 - Beijing & Chengde. I visited the Forbidden City, the Great Wall and many temples. My impression of Beijing was that it was ancient.

Now coming back here 12 years later and not following a tour, but on my own, I realize that the shopping malls are bigger than ours and there are more brands and variety than in Malaysia and Singapore.

Beijing



While I was shopping today at Wangfujing, Beijing I took this photo outside an official Beijing 2008 Olympics store.

The city is already warming up to the Olympic atmosphere. I am sure it will be a fantastic event and an Olympic games that will be remembered.

The House Church at Capernaum



Archaeological Find

While excavating an early church building at Capernaum in 1968, archaeologists found that the building had been placed over a house from the time of Jesus.

Importance of the Find

Matthew 8:14, Mark 1;29 and Luke 4:38 all speak of Peter's house and Jesus' visits there. This may be the reason Christians worship at this site.

A Season Of Prosperity

Dee Hoetmer
South Africa
25th June 2008

To those who have submitted to My refining fires, to those that are weak and humble before Me; to those who have submitted to My refining fires I will now bring prosperity to go forth to where I send them, to build that which I show them to build, to buy the land that I show them to buy, to bless those I show them to bless.

This is so that you may go forth in your journey to fulfill ALL MY PURPOSES FOR YOU; THAT YOU MAY COMPLETE YOUR MANDATE, YOUR COMMISSION.

Those that did not submit to My Holy Spirit's goading, to those that heard not My voice in the season of refining fires I will allow destitution and lack although they will be kept alive so that in due time they may repent of their folly and self will and selfish desires and truly submit to Me, so that they may be saved in the days of great trail and tribulation soon to come and yea has even begun.

My dealings with them will seem harsh unto them and they will accuse Me of being a hard task master, but oh My beloved children your eternal souls are so much more important to Me than your worldly comforts and desires. Look up and see eternity with Me, your Beloved, and lay down all to serve Me and then you shall no longer desire the things you so earnestly desire now. DO NOT KICK AGAINS THE PRICKS FOR YOU WILL ONLY MAKE YOUR WALK SO MUCH HARDER ON YOURSELF. Does not My Word say that I chastise My children so then listen to Me and seek My face so that you may begin to understand the purposes of your trials.

Hebrews 12:6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. 7 IF YE ENDURE CHASTENING, GOD DEALETH WITH YOU AS WITH SONS; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?

Acts 26:9 I verily thought with myself, that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.10 Which thing I also did in Jerusalem: and many of the saints did I shut up in prison, having received authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death, I gave my voice against them. 11 And I punished them oft in every synagogue, and compelled them to blaspheme; and being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted them even unto strange cities. 12 Whereupon as I went to Damascus with authority and commission from the chief priests, 13 At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them which journeyed with me. 14 And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? IT IS HARD FOR THEE TO KICK AGAINST THE PRICKS. 15 And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I AM JESUS WHOM THOU PERSECUTEST. 16 But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee;

Many of My children that think they are My sheep are behaving as goats; head butting against My truly anointed and sent ones. You cannot discern truth as yet from false doctrine. You do not have the discernment required to discern between the true and the false and discernment is vitally important to you in these days and even more so in the coming days.

The trials that come upon you are so that you may draw close to Me WITH ALL YOUR HEART FOR I WOULD THAT NONE PERISH.

The Father

Walls of Judgment

The Accuser (devil) is always standing before God and accusing you of all sort of things, that is why he is called "Accuser of the brethren". He can accuse us of anything he wants and we may actually be guilty of those things the devil had pointed out to God about us.

But God tells the devil, "so what? as this is still my child. I will still prosper him/her."

May we pray and break down this wall of judgment as there is no more condemnation in Christ Jesus. May no weapon formed against you prosper and all evil tongue against you be refuted. Amen!

Bethsaida, City of Woe



Archaeological Find

Much of the ancient harbor city of Bethsaida has been recovered since 1987 after several seasons of archaeological work. It has finally been placed accurately on biblical maps as a result.

Importance of the Find

Bethsaida was the birthplace of Peter, Andrew and Philip, and is mentioned in the gospels more than any other city except Capernaum and Jerusalem.
