GGG - God's Greatest Gift

The greatest gift that God has given to all of us is His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.
As I ponder on this Magnificent Gift this Christmas eve, I cannot help but marvel at the Amazing Grace of God that He would send His Son to live and die and live again for us.
Dear reader, I hope you too will not be amazed only but invite Jesus to be the King of your life so that this Gift will not remain unopened. Receiving this Gift is truly the best thing you can ever do in your entire life. Know that Christmas without Christ is meaningless and senseless.
Blessed Christmas to you!

Faith of a Christian

Our faith as Christians is a committed trust in our God who was and is and is to come.
We ask these questions whenever we are bombarded with doubt:

1) Did God not deliver us in the past?

2) Is God not able and willing to deliver us now?

3) Will God not deliver us tomorrow?

If we answer 'yes' to all three questions, then we know that our God is a faithful and loving God who has helped us, is helping us and will help us.

Faithful and Wholehearted

2 Chron 19:9
You must serve faithfully and wholeheartedly in the fear of the Lord.
In the last days, the Lord looks for men and women who would serve Him faithfully and wholeheartedly.
Faithful means a constant, consistent and conscientious following of the Lord and His commands
Wholehearted means a total, undivided heart at peace with God and in God.
May this generation rise up to have faithful and wholehearted disciples serving our God.

God is REAL

God is REAL - He heals, He restores, He saves.

Testimony

No coincidence

For a believer, I have come to see that all things that happen and people I meet in the course of my day are no coincidence but are in the perfect design of God.
Do I acknowledge His design and work with Him and in Him or do I brush them aside, get upset and miss the opportunities to do His will?
May we realise that God is in control of our lives daily as we walk and work with Him and in Him.

Two dimensions of the Soul

We know that the human soul have these dimensions: the will, the mind (intellect) and the emotions. But there are 2 more dimensions that affect the soul - imagination and memory.
Imagination affects us positively if we centre it on Christ and His given dreams and plans for us but negatively if we centre it on the lies of the evil one. Imagination can build up our faith as we focus on the Lord who has promised the dreams but it can cripple us if we start to worry or be anxious on what is to come.
Imagination deals with the future while memory deals with the past. Good memories help build our faith in the Lord as we reflect and are reminded of His faithfulness and goodness to us in the past.
Bad memories hinder us if we get stuck by guilt and cannot move forward.
So let us bring our memories to the Lord for His forgiveness and cleansing and our imaginations to Him for sanctification and clarification so that we move forward in faith and obedience.

Love and Follow God

I prayed that my children would love and follow God all the days of their lives.
I thought about what it means to love and follow God and realise that:
1. a person can love God and yet not follow Him (like the prodigal son in Luke 15:11-24 - he loved his father but yet chose to go away with his inheritance. He did turn back finally but after much suffering)
2. a person can follow God and yet not love Him (like the elder brother in Luke 15:25-32) - he followed his father but with resentment about his father's treatment of his younger brother. It showed a lack of love)
May we learn to love and follow God our Father through Jesus His Son with the Holy Spirit's help all the days of our lives.
