The new Cathay

Checking out the new Cathay. Quite a different look from the old Cathay.

I am at Starbucks, Vivo City, enjoying a cup of Java Chip Frappuccino with my wife. We are enjoying our time together just leisurely walking around the various shopping outlets.

Peace in a business meeting

Had a business meeting on Wednesday morning. While driving to the prospect's office with Marcus, my mind was playing the various scenarios on how to handle the prospect. And the fact that we were running late compound the matter further.

However, we arrived at the prospect's office earlier than the prospect. While waiting for the prospect to arrive for the meeting, Marcus and I were praying in tongues. At some point of praying, there was an inward knowing in my heart that "all is well". At that very instant, I knew things would turn out well. But, I still didn't know "how well" the meeting would turn out.

Marcus started to present our idea to the prospect when the prospect arrived at the office. The presentation went very smoothly and we were able to get the prospect to agree on certain modules that we will implement for the prospect's company. Praise the Lord.

All the "worrying" before the meeting was uncalled for. The moment our focus is on Jesus, the outward things will align with His plan and turn out for our good. Our job is to believe God is good to us for He will never leave us nor forsake us.

Peace in the middle of a traffic congestion

Was caught in a traffic congestion yesterday evening along Guillemard road at around 6:30 pm. I was feeling frustrated initially for being caught in that situation and also at the decision to travel on that road.

While mulling over the situation, I was reminded by the Holy Spirit that I was in my car and enjoying the sermon which was playing through the car's audio player. At that moment, it dawn on me how blessed I am. I was inside the car and not outside. I am able to listen very clearly and not deaf. I am to see with good vision and not blind. I am able to move my arms and legs and not limp. Hallelujah!

How often do we take these things for granted. Instead of thanking God for being alive and being able to praise and worship Him, we complain about the difficult times at the office, we complain about the inconsiderate neighbours, we complain about the government, and we complain .... Just for once, can we focus on the One who had taken away all our sins and had promised abundance of blessings on our lives.

When we behold His beauty and what He had accomplished at the cross, the image of God within us become "BIG". We begin to have good opinion of God. We start to believe God is good to us. We believe all things will happen for our good and that no evil shall befall us.

Paise and worship Him for He is good and His mercy endures forever.

Faith to faith

Therefore faith comes by hearing and hearing the word of Christ. We can hear ourselves back to faith but we cannot psych ourselves back to faith.

When we see the grace of God, He sees us in our faith. By beholding Jesus and His finished work at the cross, we will have a "big" consciousness of who we are in Christ and what's our real identity in Christ. Also, when we meditate on His word, we will have a revelation of who Christ is in our lives.

There is no point in striving to achieve success by our natural effort only to find out that it is bad success later on. When we work from a rest perspective, the Lord Jesus will give us success beyond our imaginations. He will make our paths straight and He will put us at the right place and time.

Our job is to believe God is good to us. He had adopted us as sons into His kingdom through the finished work at the cross and by our confession that Jesus is Lord. The greatest miracle is achieved by believing and speaking, what more the "lesser" miracle of health and wealth.

Let go and let God

Count God faithful! When we are faithless, He is faithful. He will not rest till all our challenges have been overcome, all our issues are resolved.

Many of us feel that we are capable of great achievements. And rightfully so for those who are in Christ! However, how often do we find ourselves in a tight spot that we are not able, with our own effort, to get out of. For without Christ, we are nothing and we can do nothing. But we can do all things in Christ who strengthens us!

Lets cast all our cares at the feet of Jesus for He cares. Our worries and fears will not change the outcome of a difficult situation. But God can turn all things, including those that are adversed to us, for our good. He is more than willing to take care of all our cares. The moment we let Him take over, all our cares will be taken care of.

Therefore, stop striving to get things done through our own effort. Allow the Holy Spirit in us to work in and through us, with the peace of God, to bring about the completeness of things. Be restful at heart and mind and trust in the goodness of God . For He is good and His mercy endures forever.
