Joy

Blinded by the devil's ploy,

Being played by the wicked plans like an helpless toy,

The devil's only purpose being to steal, kill and destroy.

But remember, God's plan is sovereign,

We are His children which He will never abandon,

He lifts us up when we are heavy laden.

From the maddening depression,

To the very limit of alluring temptation,

I endured patiently in this wretched prison.

Came one day, I heard a whisper from heaven,

Felt like soothing rain from the living waters of His fountain,

A much sought after encounter in the mountain of Zion

I found joy in the midst of ruin.

Where's our home?

Whilst listening to my current favourite song of the season for the 93984203th time; the lyrics just struck me. God can speak through anything! Be it the secular or non-secular things which you listen, watch or read.

Hold on, to me as we go

As we roll down this unfamiliar road

And although this wave is stringing us along

Just know you're not alone

Cause I'm going to make this place your home

Settle down, it'll all be clear

Don't pay no mind to the demons

They fill you with fear

The trouble it might drag you down

If you get lost, you can always be found

Just know you're not alone

Cause I'm going to make this place your home

The lyrics remind me of how I see myself; going down a road unfamiliar.

How'd I know I'm not alone? He is my "home", my refuge, my fortress.

Settle down, don't be impatient on hearing for His guidance.

Don't listen to the lies of those who think they know best, causing insecurity and fear in the heart.

But at the end of the day, the Lord is always with you.

I know, this post is retarded-ly written. I ain't go no writing mojo for the moment, it's late.

kthxbai.

goodnight.

Till the next morning

Petición

Hearts asunder,

Words a blunder,

The torn gets a snicker,

By believers through slander.

Efforts totter,

As hopes stutter,

The steward in sombre,

By the words of a believing prater.

Wake up, wake up, oh you foolish slumberer,

I plead to you as a repentant brother,

Don't you see that we have only been a spoiler,

Whilst being called to be God's own vicar.

See the lies by the evil tempter,

Do not partake in the avocations of a sinner,

Lest we be disqualified by heaven's own sifter,

Repent oh repent my dear brothers and sisters.

Let us be Christ's own spotter,

The plans of the enemy we shall always sever,

Through faith in Christ our one true saviour,

And the power of the Holy Spirit as our daily skipper.

Grateful

Just came home, 

Came into the house to find that everything's normal, everything's is as it always was.

Dad's home, car keys on the tray, mum's bad habit of using her cup and placing the unwashed cup by the water flask.

Certainly I've lost a lot in my past, but I thank the Lord for what He has given me this very night, healthy family members in safety, a house to live in and the hope only He can give.

Thank you Jesus :)

It's been awhile

Terror seemed to have found its place in my dreams again. Yet again I have been attacked, and this is for certain for the things I dreamt as I was attacked were ungodly, everything seemed lacking the holy presence of God. In a recollection of how this attack happened tonight, in a instant in my dreams I shifted towards an empty vast area of the earth which was devoid of all life, there was only darkness around and then it began. My soul felt stretched and uneasy, as if falling into a deep sleep of no return and that my friend is a feeling that terrifies me. I saw an inverted cross, there seemed to be laughter around me. In that instant, I prayed to God for protection and also in tongues, there was a battle, a mental tug of war; obviously I was protected as I felt a sudden rush of peace in my heart for I knew my God my Lord was with me, there was nothing I could fear but of the fear of the Lord.

Make no mistake, you might think I was playing and reading too many unnecessary material but these things which have crept into my dreams I have never seen or read before. It was plain and obvious. How long has it been since the last encounter, something must have been not right in my life for me to be so exposed to such attacks.

These words struck me in my moment of weakness and despair,

My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak,

but God remains the strength of my heart;

He is mine forever.  

Hi, is that stand taken?

Its a matter of fact that some people won't like the things that you like, I can accept the fact. 

Really I do.

For this matter, its about the thing I love, and that thing or rather a person, is none other than Christ himself.

I have my own personal reasons to love Him, if I had to tell you why I'd probably spend an entire day and night talking about it.

And if you're a hater, well haters gonna hate anyway but the point to question yourself about this whole sense of love/hate against Christianity is the personal factor.

What has Christianity done to you in such a manner that you have developed such feelings?

If its for something really personal, then by all means, I will empathize on your situation and as a friend hear your problems out and heck if you don't want to, I'm still your friend if you need one.

but..

Is it because of what people around you think? Why do you need to conform to their thinking? Can't you think for yourself? 

Is it because of what you hear people talk about? Why don't you find the truth about it yourself? Are you too lazy to find out about the truth? Ignorance is stupidity not a bliss.

Is it because of the massive loads of love/hate posts on the internet which makes it a need to follow this oh-so-attractive-I'm-gonna-get-popular-with-this-post trend? If it is, then that's just the purest form of bullshit I have ever know. Screw mainstream stuff.

A typical response to question the Bible's authenticity would to question on the many man-made grey areas such as dinosaurs and such. Like dude, c'mon, its written in the bible that there were dinosaurs so there are no arguments there man. Its as if your rejecting an offering of a whole mountain of diamonds because one of the diamonds  are chipped, that's not looking at the big picture, that's just looking at things to find faults in.

I'm not any different as a person than I am before I was a believer, I'm definitely a better friend/person now than I was back then. If I wasn't, I probably wouldn't be concerned for your sake and just brush your comments off. and probably flame you off.

A final remark, what's your stand? Is it something borrowed from others? Is it something picked up? Or is it your own opinion? 

Lost

Why did you lose your pendrive wilson, why? at this crucial time.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

This is bullshit.

Unglorified detestable bullshit.

Its been nice

Hi, its been nice all this while.
I guess my fears have been right on the spot
I'm sorry if i had made you feel uncomfortable from the things that I have done
I thought there was a possibility but there doesn't seem to be one
I guess you can call this a wake up call, its painful though, always is, always will be.
Goodbye my never meant to be ....

On a different note, its time to focus on things at hand :)

*game face on*

Deuteronomy 32:12

Deuteronomy 32:12 - So the Lord alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him

And so I may say one day, glorifying His name, that He led me through this narrow path which is safest alone with Him

All Talk, No Actions

Today's message in church was on the book of Acts (chapter 8), on how a model church should be. Where's the repentance and wholesomeness of church with 'good' members? Church should be filled with people from all backgrounds. Although this might be a extreme illustration, church should be filled with thieves, liars, adulterers, gays, lesbians and whatnot. Aren't we suppose to bring our brothers and sisters back to a holy lifestyle? Aren't we suppose to be gentle and compassionate about the people around us? What's with the look? What's with the gossip?

I perceived the message as a usual reminder of the things a christian should be. More than that, it has me questioning the 'busy-ness' that I have engulfed myself with. I might say that I do have a lot of assignments and such and do not have the time to serve God, but how true is that?  Are you a person who wants to conform the 'other' activities around the plan of serving God, or are you the person who's putting your schedule ahead of the chances to serve and glorify God with whatever means possible?

Unfortunately, i feel like the latter. I feel that despite my schedule, I could have done better. I could have done more. But another question which springs up is, is God asking you to do it? It throws me in another mess which makes me go in between the first question and the second.

One question I'm always asking myself is, ' What have I been doing throughout my Christian life? '
Although it has been a comparatively short one, I do not want to conform to other people's standard nor do i want to rush through an ' ideal ' christian life with the high likelihood of suffering from burnouts.

This post is filled with questions in which I hope would be answered someday.

Its all about You

Appreciation

Have you thought of parents lately? 

Have you been treating them well lately.. or at all?

Ponder ponder.

Well, I haven't been the best son around, but yea i love my parents and of course my family :)

Faith

Psalms 125:1 “Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken but endures forever“

Who clings to God in constant trust,

As Zion’s mount he stands full just,

And who moves not, nor yet does reel,

But stands forever strong as steel

Psalms 23:3 “Your rod and your staff, they comfort me”

In times of discouragement and danger, my heart will find support in you.

Psalms 112:7 He will have no fear of bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.

In times of sadness and anguish, my heart will find joy in you.

Psalms 30:5 For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may remain for a night, but rejoicing comes in the morning

In times uncertainty, my heart shall have faith in you.

Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future

In times of loneliness and of unfound counsel, my heart will move in you.

Isaiah 30:15 "In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength”

In times of urgency and disdain, my heart will wait upon you.

 Isaiah 28:16 So this is what the Sovereign LORD says: "See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation; the one who trusts will never be dismayed.

Afflictions may be aplenty but His grace is sufficient (2 Cor. 12:9)

For the outcomes cometh not from the cause but from His Will (1 King 12:24)

Thus have faith ye faithless, have heart and wait upon Him. 

Anyone there?
