| It has been pretty long since I last blog. But then I am learning to blog more in future. Two reason why I don't blog. 1st of all, I am lazy. 2nd, I have nothing much to blog about. For one thing la. I am living in a mundane life nowadays. Day in day out doing the same old thing. Want to do out of the box thingy, I am lazy and actually to be honest I am scared.
Anyway today I came across a thought that I shared to my colleague. Well as a Christian, I've come to learn this. It is better to serve than to be served. I don't mean ministry in church but rather in workplace. Well to cut the story short, I advice my colleagues bout working in company by helping others. You may say, I wanna do it my way and care for myself rather than others. Well you are right when you said that. No doubt bout that. In future that's how the world look at it and how our parent thought us, perhaps?
Well remember this story? The story of Cindirella and her step sisters? Well she was first princess in her family's eye before her mom passed away and her dad remarried. Well her stepmom have two sisters but they were jealous of her beauty. So what they do? They forced Cindirella to take care of the household and work like a slave. One day the prince of the country organised a ball to choose for himself a wife. Both the step sister went and left the poor Cindirella at home doing all the house chores. Her Fairy Godmother knows it and prepared Cindirella with a beautiful clothes for the ball. So she went to the ball but must be back before 12am. Well the ball was fabulous but when it was time for the dance, the clock strikes 12. She quickly rushed back home and left her glass slipper at the staircase.
You know the end of the story. The prince found the slipper and make all the ladies in the country wear the slipper. Finally it came to the step sisters' turn and they forced themselves into wearing the slipper but failed. Guess who managed to wear it? Cindirella is the girl. She marries the prince and lived happily ever after.
Okay the moral of the story. A lot of time we are all like the step sisters. We want things all for ourselves and care not for others but ourselves. And we always thought we are the rightful person for ourselves. But guess what? At the end, it was Cindirella who reap all the blessing. She got her step sisters to make her life bad. I believe she got discouraged and always think of why me? Well I am also like that. I mean like Cindirella. I mean why me? Do you know one thing? I believe that Cindirella's family is kinda rich family and they can afford all things. But guess what they do not have? They do not have the prince. But instead the poor Cindirella who was made to be slave in the family who is the next kin after her dad's father (if ever) passed away to all the family property and not the step sisters and their mom. Like Isaac who was the right kin to Abraham's property but were bullied by Ishmael. Guess what is the promise of God to Abraham? Abraham would be the Father of all nation and who received the blessings over that issue? Well it was Isaac and Ishmael. Likewise Cindirella received her blessing even though she was bullied, tortured and abused in life by her step mom and step sisters. She not only (I believe) own the family's property but she too managed to own the whole country when she married the prince.
What I am really want to share here is this. Even though we are in the negative side of life, being bullied in workplace, or always a negative person despite all others received good, even God seems not to be there for us, preserve on. Preserve until something happen. Help others who are in need especially in workplace. After all no one is perfect. Well I do encourage if you need to go ahead and complain all you want, I believe there is no wrong in doing so. In fact it helps us reduce bit by bit our burden and hurts. After all we are all just human. We are not Superman or God. But at the end of the day, let us be Christian and help those who are in need and not let them die alone. I am talking this to encourage myself to strive better in workplace when it comes to human contact especially in workplace. That's what Christian is all about. Be Christ like cause Jesus Christ die for us and give us a new life. That's our salvation. To help others who are in need.. =) Who are worst than us. May God's glory be with us..

| Well of late there had been a lot of people migrating out of Malaysia. A lot of my friends and my friends' friend had ventured out to look for a better future and greener grass to another country. I am kind of sad that these things happened. The shocking part of this is a lot of Christians had left the country. Let's us not mention non-believer here. I mean Christians are the chosen one that God calls to defend the weak and help the poor. Not the one God calls to go out and find a better place to survive for themselves. I remembered once when I was a young Christian. The moment I accepted Christ and say the sinner's prayer. I told myself that I am going to stand tall for God and defend the weak and poor here. Remember that word we once telling God we would do? Remember the time when we were asked whether would we stand up for God when disaster happen? Well guess what. That time is now although we were not yet being persecuted publicly because of our faith in the Lord.
Malaysia is facing a big problem here. The problem of there might not be any future for us and a problem where a lot of Christians is leaving Malaysia when they felt insecure bout the their future here but I guess we were told a lot of time that God is in control. Well can I ask you a question here. Do you believe that God is in control now? Well I would say YES. The moment I stand up and survive in Malaysia when disasters happen is the moment I believe God is in control. You know why? Because for one thing. Malaysia is my country and where I was born. And Malaysia is where God put me in. And therefore for me to stand up tall and say I will continue to stay in Malaysia although there is not much future left means God is in control. Unless and until God calls us to go to other place to evangelise, other reason why we choose to leave for other country rather than staying in Malaysia, for me that reason would be running away when troubles come.
You can say this. We can always pray for Malaysia in another country we are residing but guess what? You are not there to experience God's blessings over Malaysia. For me it would mean you are throwing God's blessing away. We can always pray for others but in reality would we really be the one who would be there to carry out God's blessing?
I actually wondered why there are a lot of Christian politicans fight for the country, the poor and the weak? I mean there is no point in doing so since a lot of them are leaving or had left the country. Please do not find me wrong when I say this. I am not against anybody leaving Malaysia but for me what is the point we all fight for the country and yet we left the country at the same time when there seems to be no hope anymore. Remember this. Our hope is in the Lord. Well that is a famous statement every Christians will say and it is written in the Bible as well. But are we saying it out just for the sake of popularity or are we really believe that our hope is in the Lord? For that I actually ponder. Everybody seems to like to quote that sentences but are we really applying it into our life?
Well seriously I am speechless bout a lot of Christians leaving Malaysia. I do not know whether this blog will impact you all to stay in Malaysia and fight for the country but I hope I am saying the right thing here. Have a blessed week ahead. | | |
| Word of Wisdom: Always read the Bible. You will be surprised that you can be wise and full of Godly knowledge even hough you might not understand the meaning of the Bible verse you read earlier. I came to realise that God wants to guide us and help us to be wise daily. But at times when trouble came, we don't know what to do. The most practical day-to-day dealing with life can be traced from how deep we study the Bible and apply it into life. Well we may think that some of it maybe not be practical with our new life now, but remember that the Bible were written by the cleverest man on earth besides the normal human being.
The best part of reading is this. It was written according to the New Testament by two most significant person in this whole world namely John who follows the Jesus where ever He went and Paul who had changed from being a persecutor of Christians to be a defenders of Christian after he was stopped half way by Jesus Himself. So imagine the powerful Jesus that even devils would tremble when they meet Him. Somehow or rather it strucks me the lesser I read the Bible the more normal I would be and the more wordly I would be. So in order to be wise and full of Godly knowledge we need to read more Bible. Action alone does not work if there is no Word of God being departed into our life. So read the Bible more and be Godly wisdom will impart into our life. Amen? | | |
| Today is one special day. Fine. I am blogging bout it this late but still today is a special day. Today is the anniversary of 2000 years ago Jesus Christ resurrected from death. It is a day of victory. Christ-faith victory. Therefore just want to wish every Christians in the world, Blessed Easter Celebration or in Malaysia, some churches call it, Blessed Resurrection Day. A day of victory which I believe even devil were dumb-folded when they instructed Him to be crucified.
I was watching a play performed by The Life Chapel PJ's music & arts ministry this morning called The Hottest Story Ever adapted from Russell Stedman's stage play. Well the story is actually typical Easter story except this story was told in the eye of the devils. Well I would say this is a brilliant play though. The story was about conversations of three devils about plotting to go against God. What they should do to destroy human being. They started with the plot of making Adam & Eve fall. Then there story goes to the time when Jesus was born. They plot the death of babies born during that period of time. That time Israel was under the ruling of King Herod.
Then they plotted the Judas' betrayal and alas, Jesus was crucified. But three days later Jesus came back to live and in the play they came to realised that God planned for Jesus' to be crucified and then raised up again three days later. Because of Jesus' resurrection they were afraid for a lot of things. They thought with Jesus killed, salvation won't come into human being's life. But they are wrong. So the play ended with their conversation plotting for next move to lead the human being to hell & to cover up the good news of Jesus' resurrection and His salvation for us all. The slogan for the play is "Someone doesn't want you to know what you really need to know." The play would still be on until 12th April 2010. It would be held in PJ Life Arts' Centre Jaya One, Petaling Jaya. Time: 3.30pm & 8.30pm on 11th April 2010 and 12th April 2010 3.30pm. I kinda like the play cause all the time our topic about Jesus resurrected but this time it is about what devil think and plotted so that we all will go to hell with them. Whether you are Christian or not Christian please take this opportunity to watch a Christian play. It would help you to understand what Christianity is all about and for Christians it would help us to know Him deeper. =)
Anyway just to drop by to wish my fellow brother and sister in Christ a Blessed Easter Day. May God continually bless and guide and even protect you in all that you do so that you can continuously guided by Him and love Him too. =) | | |
| 1st of all, I never knew that I've had two followers of my blog over a year of not blogging. Wow!! Not bad for a year plus of not free to blog. Anyway here I am back. Will spent as much time here to blog though I am not as free as last time to do so. But will think of a way though. Anyway yesterday was Good Friday. Well I do not know what you all think but for me it is a remembrance of 2000 years of anniversary of Jesus Christ went to hell to redeem back our salvation. A day where Christ not only brutally murdered but He did it for our sake. For those of who you happens to drop by at this blog, please take a moment to think this incident where someone you do not know died 2000 years ago to take away our sin.
You might say, "Hey what sin do I have? I don't steal, kill or destroy" but hey you cheat, bluff, lied, spreading rumours, smoke, sleeping around, lust, proud, greed, hate, envy, love to fight with others etc etc.. All the small small sin. You might say, "Everybody does it what?" Well you are right. Everybody does it. That's why all fall sin in the glory of God. That's why we all sinned. If you say you don't do what is mentioned above, you are lying. You are lying to me, to your family, friends, relatives and the main thing is you lied to God. Which means you are perfect and if you are perfect you can just claim yourself to be God. Otherwise you are just a normal human being.
As for Jesus Himself, He is fully God and half man. He became man to show us the way to salvation. Otherwise would He even care for us? He come down from Heaven to show us the way. Not only that He came down to lead us to Heaven, to bring us back to where we belong. Guess where we belong? Heaven. But before that He want us to confess that we are a sinner, sinner saved by grace. Not by humanly grace or a girl by the name of Grace but by Godly grace which is God Himself. If man can forgive another man for what he or she had done, what more God Himself? I mean since He is the one who created us.
So yesterday was the day 2000 years ago Jesus went down to hell to redeem us from hell. A day of victory and a day of success. For your information, if what is written in Bible about Jesus are fake and a fiction, how come a lot of people believe in the Bible and get saved had lived their life joyfully? Surely something big is at work. So therefore what is written in the Bible is the truth. Read it and be blessed. So come, let us ponder of what Jesus had did and what He had it is written in the Bible for generation to come to know and understand. Ponder what He had it and believe that He did it for us all. He died on the cross to redeem us back our salvation and make us no more slave but friend. Because of His death, we can come to God freely and to talk to Him personally. Because He died, we can go to Heaven after we died. There is still life until death.
But for now let us ponder of what He had done for us on earth so that we continue to seek Him, we can continue to live in Him.
God bless and Blessed Good Friday & Easter.. =) | | |
