A Thankful Heart - 1 Thes 5 :18

The Lord led me to meditate this verse through a song by Rick Riso from this Album 'As For My House' ..

A thankful heart
Creates a thankful home
Filled with love and understanding
So that grace can abound
A thankful heart will
Break down the walls of pride
Cause overcoming every problem
Begins with a thankful heart

Always rejoicing
And praying constantly
In every circumstance
We should give thanks
For this is the will of God
Concerning you and me
Only then can we discover
Joy and Liberty

Now binding the attitude
Of all dissatisfaction
Will only happen
When we're giving thanks
For His grace will meet us
And nothing can defeat us
When thanksgiving's offered
As a sacrifice of praise

It's time to let
Selfishness go
And allow the living water
To overflow

United in one purpose
We'll conquer the darkness
When the spirit of thanksgiving
Is shining in our souls

Overcoming every problem
It begins with a thankful heart

Whoopee Tent Experience

Had been busy at the official opening of T3 and a joint project with Times News Link doing Kooky Art activity these 2 days. Was thrilled to be connected back with the Peranakan culture. Hmm, what God does want to show us with our culture and roots?

Anyway, had wanted to blog my tent experience on Thur 24 July when Ps BC's 12 had an opportunity to set up tents in Bukit Merah to seek the Lord. It was quite an awesome feeling - like being back in the Prayer Mountain in the grottos in Korea.

Personally, it was such a whoopee experience because my heart was in such 'anticipation' mode that before I even entered the tent, my spirit was already high. The minute I stepped into the tent, I was literally weeping and wailing. God was bringing conviction to me about my heart condition and I was interceding much for one of my 12. I was praying for mercy and asking for a breakthrough with regards to a strained relationship.

To Blog Or Not To Blog

Hmm.. i sat in front of my laptop for a long time and was contemplating to blog or not to blog ... what shall I share this morning?

The Lord in the past few days has been downloading to me precious lessons about forgiveness, compassion, love - unconditional love to be specific, mercy, the tongue, truth .... Wow! I am so overwhelmed by these thoughts. Do not really know how to pen them down in words.

The way the Lord has been bringing me through different situations are just a little token of showing me His steadfast love.

A Covenant Keeping God

I was reading Gen 4 - 12 this morning and was meditating much on the aspect of God as a covenantal keeping God ...

MagicBox Was Superb!

If you have not watched 'The Magic Box', you must catch it! Thought it was an excellent world-class production. Was so proud of SP, in spite of all his aches and pains, he put up such a near perfect and thrilling performance.

It encourages us to strive to be all that God has intended for us - To fulfill God's purpose for creating each of us unique and special in order to reach our destiny!

Magixbox Tonite

Hey, we are catching Magixbox at the Esplanade this evening together with Grandma and Poopie! Lucky Poopie, got a free $80 ticket coz S could not make it! Happy boy!!

Bless SP with new strength, joy as he does the show. A new anointing with the media and the audience!

John 10

This morning, I was meditating upon this verse .. John 10:9 "I am the Door. If anyone enters in by Me, he shall be saved and shall go in and out and find pasture".

What does it mean to enter in by the Lord? To know His presence, to have His fullness, to embrace all He has for us, to enjoy fellowship with Him?? I am still asking the Lord for a greater revelation of His Word ....

What a comfort and joy to know that when we enter in in Jesus Name, we have the privilege to go in and out and find pasture ... What's pasture? Wholeness? Blessings? Provision? Abundance? Oh .....

God's Favor

Was awfully surprised that God granted the article to go on the front page of Recruit today!

Wow, I just sit and marvel at the way the Lord opens doors ... ALL GLORY BE TO GOD!

An sms came in this morning ... "Is this SP's anointing? At the start of Magixbox, while SP was featured in Life Section this week, God also allows you to be featured the same week. Coincidence?" Yes, it is SP's anointing ... (G12, what!) and No way that this is sheer coincidence - it's all about God and His goodness in our lives! Haha! We couldn't have orchestrated this better!

Check This Out!

Hey, being featured on a 1.5 page article in 'The New Paper' under Career Choice was a humbling honor, I felt. God grants us good exposure for a purpose, I suppose? The picture looked good but I was rather embarrassed ... camera shy! Haha ....

Bless Their Heart

Bless A's heart .... I had the honor of conducting a KA session for Downs Syndrome kids today at a workshop where there was a story-telling and a time for the kids to explore decorating cookies. It was such a joy to see the kids, parents and helpers enjoying themselves at MacDonald's.
God has been opening doors to me even in these areas of reaching out to special needs kids and He is doing something with my heart! The years of training that He has put me through in Handicap Services and Disabled work has not been wasted. Indeed God holds us in the palm of His hands and WE HAVE A DESTINY! We just have to walk with Him and allow ourselves to partner Him!

The testimony of this lady is amazing! Some 14 years ago, she found some flyer on the street and turned to her hubby to ask if they could adopt him. The flyer showed this Downs kid and he had been abandoned for 2 months and was in hospital. Her husband was at first reluctant, but the next day, he felt a deep compassion and went to drive all around the gas station to look for the flyer just to get connected. The rest is history ... they went through much just to adopt this little boy who is unable to fend for himself and is helpless. They love him just like their own. (In fact, they sacrificed not to have their own kids in order to take care of him .... what unconditional love!)

This testimony reminds me of Prov 31:8-9 ... Speak up for the people who have no voice, for the rights of all the down-and-outers. Speak out for justice! Stand up for the poor and destitute!

We can do likewise.

Love Covers A Multitude Of Sin

I shared with my ladies through sms this morning about what the Lord taught me from 1 John 4 : 7 - 8. Dear Friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.

This is easier said that done. Today, I had a test of what it takes to love someone even though it is tremendously difficult and impossible. It was a painful and sad situation ... And the Lord reminded me that when we are able to love that someone and look beyond them, we know God. Yes, we know God because He is LOVE and that LOVE covers a multitude of sin no matter how we have been wronged or accused.

The Giant Is Faced ...

For those of you who have been praying, I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. God answers and hears prayers. Even just at the start of the 40 Days of Prayer and Fasting, I have already begun experiencing miracles and breakthroughs in my personal life. Yeah, I will continue to fast, pray and seek a greater manifested presence of God throughout these 40 days!

Indeed this is a Year Of Sabbath for me, where I am reaping more than double fold. This Scripture came back to me ... that I am going to reap what I have not sown.

Do you know, when I was on the verge of giving up my business, God broke through for me? I was at my wits end, fighting many fierce battles and had to surrender all my cares, woes and burdens to the Lord. I was seeking Him desperately about my journey as I needed guidance, wisdom and direction for the moment. At that point, I remembered the prophetic word released to me in Jan that I will continue to do KA, and I clung on! God really allowed His favor to come upon me quickly. I am eternally grateful.

I had such an affirmation from the Lord when I received this email from my KA boss and I broke down crying in my heart tonight. "... I trust you completely in running the operations for Kooky Art. You are doing a great job and as said many times, I really appreciate it." What a comfort and joy!

Thank you, Lord. You loving kindness endures forever...

Up Singapore Flyer

Oh, how grateful I am that we had an opportunity to go up the Singapore Flyer this morning together with the pastors of the city from Love Singapore. It was a glorious time of prayer, praise and worship!

Today also begins the start of the 40 Days Prayer & Fasting and the 12th Cycle that Love Singapore has launched this.... Personally, I am seeking the Lord for many issues and asking for a breakthrough.

Isa 58 ... I would like to cry aloud, spare not, lift my voice like a trumpet to God these 40 days. Also, I want to seek the Lord daily, delight to know God's ways and fast.

Yes, I want to see the bonds of wickedness loosen, undo heavy burdens, oppressed set free, breaking of every yoke .. to share bread with the hungry, bring the poor who are cast out and to cover the naked person.

Then, light shall break forth like the morning, healing shall spring forth speedily, righteousness shall go before me, the glory of the Lord shall be my rear guard, then i shall call and the Lord will answer .. i shall call and He will say, Here I am!
