Tuesday, February 28, 2006 "And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him." (Heb 11:6)faith is what bridges us into the divine realm, the supernatural, and brings us in tune with His ways and thoughts which are higher than ours. without this conviction to relate ourselves to Him, we are powerless in our striving arms to grip on the truths that will set us free, we are disabled in our weary legs to run our journeys of life to claim the prize at the end of the race; we need to wring ourselves off from the crutches of human logic n reasoning and start believing in the supernatural. His omnipotence is the divine answer to our impotence. "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." even faith is impossible. of which is abstract and unfathomable. indeed it is impossible to have faith conjured out of nowhere. where is this conviction, which can unlock forces to move mountains, to be found? with God. all right we hav to start believing in God's omnipotence before we hav faith? ironically faith grows out of that small step we took when we accepted Christ into our lives. on a parting note someone once told me that developing faith is like exercising the muscles. the more we work at it, the more powerful we move. big move, here we go! Monday, February 27, 2006  aye my FYP poster. Gonna hav a poster presentation next week. well the Lord answered my prayer... i had wanted to finish it by today and i thought i needed at least a full day of work to come out with the design and contents. so by4pm, when i did not hav the slightest idea of how my poster would be like, i knew i had to go to Him again even though i had prayed about it in the morning. exhausted by then, i went to take a siesta before havin dinner and then chatted with some hostel mates. as i went back to my workstation, it seemed that the creative gene in me was switched on and expressed. so whoah aft 3 hrs of work, i managed to come up with a poster! Thank the Lord! oh yeah i even had time to squeeze in a 7km run! lesson: pray with faith knowing that the Lord will answer and pray with perseverance till sth happens. so hav u prayed abt sth that is not resolved? why wait... Friday, February 24, 2006 Search me O GOD, and know my heart;test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. O LORD, you have searched me and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O LORD. I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, I know that full well. Thursday, February 23, 2006 Whom have I in heaven but You?And earth has nothing I desire besides You. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. Saved by Your mercy, found in Your grace. Totally surrendered to Your embrace. And there's nothing more than You. Wednesday, February 22, 2006 My devotion verses for the day:7Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8Come near to God and He will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. (James 4:7-8) christian obedience calls for first and foremost, submission of ourselves. derived from the greek word "upotaghte" meaning to arrange in a military fashion under the command of a leader, the word "submit" carries with it the notion of voluntarily giving up one's control. so who do we abdicate our will to in place of our over-arching selves? the answer can only be God. it is when we deny the gratification of our sinful nature and walking out of darkness into His wonderful light, that we derive the strength to fight the evil one without reservations. lets wage a good fight today and all the days of our lives! all in all, imho, true christian living calls for obedience to The Living Word which renders even demons' submission. 16"He who listens to you listens to me; he who rejects you rejects me; but he who rejects me rejects him who sent me."17The seventy-two returned with joy and said, "Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name." (Luke 10:16-17) on another note, i have resolved myself to seek reconciliation from persons in hall whom i have no peace with atm, even as the last epsiodes of a melodrama taking place in Eusoff Hall for the past three years of my life- and whose script are being applied with the finishing touches by the divine scriptwriter - are unfolding. one of many submission acts to God that i hav set out to do. Tuesday, February 21, 2006 What The World Will Never TakeWith all I'm holding inside With all my hopes and desires And all the dreams that I've dreamt With all I'm hoping to be And all that the world will bring And all that fails to compare You say You want all of me I wouldn't have it any other way I've got a Saviour and He's living in me WHOA I wanna know I wanna know You today And You're the best thing that has happened to me And the world will never take The world will never take You away No one could ever take You away Monday, February 20, 2006  Day 1 Sanctification Week
