same same but different

It just kept getting better...
Surprises haven't stop...
Yesterday on my way back from kampar, i was asking God why batu pahat..
Then God reminded me the history of batu pahat.. it's about siamese troop striking the stone and water came out... so i ask God wad do dis mean?
Remember the story of Moses? The Israelites did not have water but the 1st time God ask Moses to strike a rock.. and sure enough out came water...
The second time, God ask Moses to call out water from the rock but Moses strike the rock but water came out also.. the consequences to Moses was God never let Moses to enter the promise land.. only to look..
Come back to me, batu pahat will be a land of blessing, overflowin with water in the midst of desert.. whenever I call out to God..
The confirmation: Jeremiah 29v11
this is the verse shared today by uncle simon from sarawak..in times of trouble, in times of need..
God has plans to prosper and bless... and just have to FOLLOW what God has in stored.....

P.S: Though you have changed, i'm prepared always. i'm always me, always there when u need. =)

PIECES

This is the story
This is the tale
I will always change
But You never will

There's nothing that I can really do
But to offer all I have to you
With nothing as I come to you,
Completely that I am renewed

#Life been torn,
Hope been smashed
Here now right down into pieces
Thought you've left
Thought you're gone
But you"re always here, right with me

A SONG For YOU

Strange it may seem, coincidence
Long it may seem, ignored
You've stepped in my dreams, Showed me the way
So this is a song for You

So fast it may be like a river flows
Showed me the way to love
So far it may be the road will go
Always You'll be,
Right here with me

The sun will keep shinning no matter what
You have been here for me
Light of the dawn, pierce through the dark
So this is a song for You

You opened my eyes
You opened my heart
I'll never be, the same (x2)

Shaken..

"Tear down the walls see the world
Is there something we have missed
Turn from ourselves
Look beyond
There is so much more than this..."

- tear down the walls- hillsong -

JOHOR, batu pahat, the new battleground..
Looking to God always, putting down wad's done, wad's gone, wad's past..Letting go at last..
Easy?
Nope it's never easy... but always deeply shaken..
Fair?
Nope it's not fair.. life it's never fair..
Alone?
Nope there is my God who walked wid me always..
Happy?
Nope coz there is too many things to let go..
Sad?
Nope there are still good things to come..
Expected?
Nope it's more den expected.. always well-prepared..
Freedom?
Yes absolutely but nothing has change...
It has always been that way..

"Look to the skies hope arise
See His majesty revealed
More than this life there is love
There is hope and this is real..."
- tear down the walls- hillsong -


It's a new dawn... next chapter... =)

as CALEB said:

Joshua 14:6-15

Hebron Given to Caleb

6 Now the men of Judah approached Joshua at Gilgal, and Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him, "You know what the LORD said to Moses the man of God at Kadesh Barnea about you and me. 7 I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadesh Barnea to explore the land. And I brought him back a report according to my convictions, 8 but my brothers who went up with me made the hearts of the people melt with fear. I, however, followed the LORD my God wholeheartedly. 9 So on that day Moses swore to me, 'The land on which your feet have walked will be your inheritance and that of your children forever, because you have followed the LORD my God wholeheartedly.' a]">

10 "Now then, just as the LORD promised, he has kept me alive for forty-five years since the time he said this to Moses, while Israel moved about in the desert. So here I am today, eighty-five years old! 11 I am still as strong today as the day Moses sent me out; I'm just as vigorous to go out to battle now as I was then. 12 Now give me this hill country that the LORD promised me that day. You yourself heard then that the Anakites were there and their cities were large and fortified, but, the LORD helping me, I will drive them out just as he said."

13 Then Joshua blessed Caleb son of Jephunneh and gave him Hebron as his inheritance. 14 So Hebron has belonged to Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite ever since, because he followed the LORD, the God of Israel, wholeheartedly. 15 (Hebron used to be called Kiriath Arba after Arba, who was the greatest man among the Anakites.)
Then the land had rest from war.


as JABEZ said:

1 Chronicles 4:9-10

9 Jabez was more honorable than his brothers. His mother had named him Jabez, saying, "I gave birth to him in pain." 10 Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, "Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain." And God granted his request.


territory enlarged, mountains to conquer ahead..
still resonating and going ever stronger..
still far from perfection but still running the race, awating the author and finisher of our salvation..

LIFE

WAd is LIFE all About??

The rough outline of one's life..

- baby - get feed, clean up etc etc etc..
- kindergarden - learn new stuff, communication etc etc..
- primary - study study and study...
- secondary - study even harder.. study summore..
- pre-uni- study more and more and even harder... or come out 2 work...
- uni - study harder n harder..
-work - work hard, earn cash and spend it..
-work harder - buy house, buy car, get married etc..
- retire - sit at home wait and wait
- retire summore - jaga grandkids, wait to get paid by pension..
- retire from life - finally rest in peace..

well above is just a sketch... life is so fragile too..
any time anythin could happen...
- war
- nuke war
- epidermic disease
- accidents
- mishaps
- snatch thieves
- robbery
- serial killings
- joy killings
- hatred killings
- jealousy murder
- etc etc etc etc...

well it's not dat safe after all..
Where could refuge be found? Where could hope be found?
Man?
The ways of man had failed.. the ways of man had been disasterous..

The only Solution:

JEHOVAH-JIREH

"The Lord our provider" - This is also the name Abraham gave to the place where the Lord provided a sacrifice in place of Isaac. (Gen. 22:14).

JEHOVAH-NISSI

"Our banner, a banner of love and protection" - Also the name Moses gave to the altar he built after defeating the Amalekites (Ex. 17:15).

JEHOVAH-SHALOM

"Our perfect peace" - Also the name Gideon gave to the altar he built at Ophrah (Judges 6:24)

JEHOVAH-TSID-KENU

"The Lord is our righteousness" - The name is applied to a future Davidic king who would lead his people to do what is right and thus bring peace (Jeremiah 23:6) and to the restored city of Jerusalem (Jeremiah 33:16). The name is possibly a play on the name of Zedekiah ("Righteous [is] the Lord") who reigned from 597 to 587 B.C..

JEHOVAH-SHAMMAH

"The One Who is with us everywhere for He is Omnipresent" - The Jerusalem of Ezekiel's vision (see Ezekiel 48:35 margin) was known by this name. Compare text at Isaiah 60:19-20 and Revelation 21:3.

JEHOVAH-SABAOTH

"The Lord of Hosts, our Protector." C.H. Spurgeon said this about the phrase "The Lord of Hosts:

The Lord rules the angels, the stars, the elements, and all the hosts of Heaven; and the Heaven of heavens is under His sway... [the Lord] is on our side -- our august Ally; woe unto those who fight against Him, for they shall flee like smoke before the wind when He gives the word to scatter them."

(Psalm 46:7)

JEHOVAH-RAAH

"Our Shepherd Who tenderly leads us, loves us and will keep us safe." - the famous Psalm 23 tells us that "The Lord is our Shepherd and we shall not want...." Being illustrated as a shepherd implies a relationship with His sheep (His believers). The term shepherd appears approximately 80 times in the Scriptures, denotating meanings of: feeder, keeper, companion, friend, pastor and herdsman.

JEHOVAH RAPHA –

"I am the Lord Your Physician or I am the Lord Your Healer - this name especially was a Name God prophetically spoke about Himself, not one that someone gave Him. Exodus 15:26.

Holman Bible Dictionary and the book All the Divine Names And Titles In The Bible by Herbert Lockyer used as source for certain material.

kris allen vs adam lambert?

Though it has passed adi 4 a very long time...
Just wanna say dis...

God is indeed moving...
Kris allen - worship leader..
Adam lambert - gay..
(http://asia.news.yahoo.com/rtrs/20090610/ten-entertainment-us-lambert-db3f2d5.html)

It's not bout show or performance actually..
I dun watch american idol though..
It's just dat i wanna say dis..
It is no coincidence dat kris won nor is it a conspiracy.. I believe God played d very part in it...
Even the judges favoured Adam but no one can surpass God in the final decision..
I believe that God is can do anythin including gettin Kris to the final of american idol and just throwing in the desire of Kris's heart to be the champion of american idol just because he pleases God and is God's child..
Jeremiah 29v11 was clearly proven in this matter..

God has put people into fame and just that a lot does not give glory back to God and does not please God in their ways... I shall not judge but the stories of lifestyles of peoples in the postion of fame clearly show the consequences..It will stand as a test for Kris also...

Now my eyes are on Kris... will he just become the just american idol singer or the person who make the difference, stand in the gap and turn the nation back to God?
Will he be the champion of God or the biggest loser in history?
The answer to the biggest question will be uncover soon enough...
