More than I have asked

So, last year was my last year of being a resident in the university's hostel and we had to find a house as soon as possible to secure our things and make sure we have a place to live for 2013

Prayed that God would be in total control of everything!

And then we start house hunting , look at a few house but wasn't as what we expected , then came to this current house I'm
In and the one behind it , looks pretty decent & we immediately applied for it.

The next day we received an approval of the house! WOOHOO! That was really amazing cause it was really quick.

So actually I prayed that

- it's easy to go to school,
- grocery store that is nearby
- a swimming pool ( but I didn't really like
worry much about this )
- Oh ! And of course , Nearby church!
- Overall a really convenient neighborhood

Now as the year went by, we realise a few things ,

1. 3 mins away from the bus stop to go to school!

2. 10 mins walk to church!

3. 10 mins walk to town for groceries !

4. 10 mins walk for swimming!

The neighborhood is amazing-
- Our neighbor is actually friends with our
house agent !
- a church member is just 4 houses away!

Today we found out we could get really good spices from 2 Indian stores , 5 mins up the road !


ISN'T God amazing !

He didn't just give me what I prayed for but He gave us more than we could ever imagine!

God is love and He loves us and He wants to take care of us but we have to sacrifice certain things but it's nothing compare to what He is giving us !

The verse that came to mind was

If we are faithless [do not believe and are untrue to Him], He remains true (faithful to His Word and His righteous character), for He cannot deny Himself. (2 Timothy 2:13 AMP)

Mercy Grace and the Everlasting Love that will forever be abundant

How vast is the love of God that one's mind could not comprehend .

It's that very love that was demonstrated on the cross that is still abounding in us & it could never be taken away , it's just at times when we feel we have lack of God's love , but His love is never less or insufficient , In fact is it perfected in us ,

1 John 4:17-19 NLT

And as we live in God, our love grows more perfect. So we will not be afraid on the day of judgment, but we can face him with confidence because we live like Jesus here in this world. Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced his perfect love. We love each other because he loved us first.

Sometimes we don't experience it
because we choose to walk the other path and not abiding in Him.

But however it is , in Romans 8: 38-39

And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.

I like how the author , Paul wrote this ,
" I am convinced ! " , He is so sure that Christ will never forsake us even in loving us, even when we are not faithful that love remains perfect.

You see how Paul made a contrast of good and evil for example Life nor death , angels nor demons . It shows that not even that kind of things could separate us from His love .

In Romans 8, Paul is writing to the church in Rome as they are going thru some rough time , this scripture is an assurance that God's love is everlasting and it will never fail. His love isn't govern by our circumstances or how we are behaving at that very moment , but it is His very nature to love us unconditionally.

He is a mysterious God , again I would say How vast is the love of God that one's mind could not comprehend .

Mission Field 2012

My very first mission trip but has impacted me in a big way . 

Never would see myself bathing within 5 mins or just 6 times splashing myself with a pale of water . Gotta be strategic with that when you only have that amount of water left . Hahhhaa! However I didn't find it frustrating , I'm still thankful I could bathe.

The little things I use to take it for granted ,but with the experience i had during the mission trip made me realize how blessed we are and we only get to see it when you are placed in areas where some things are hard to find. 

Even having that amount of water was good enough for me , having at least a fan functioning was the best thing that could happen. Really! It was so hot that at night when we stood by the entrance it felt like air cond. 

I've learn a few things . First its time to seek God like never before. Prayer life is important . The joy of having that opportunity to seek Jesus without needing to do any special rituals but just come to His throne of grace with a humble heart, seeking Him with all your heart soul & might. 


Hearing testimonies from my friends , that is God's faithfulness over their life and it would be over your life to if you take that step of faith to believe what God is capable .


Because of His faithfulness , I'm content. I have all that I need. 
Because of His faithfulness ,even when I fall down He is still willing to accept me .
Because of His faithfulness, I can enter into His presence and just be soaked in it. 
Because of His faithfulness , His love never fails, never ceases. 



You see, Christianity isn't about boasting about how much of a saint we are but its to demonstrate God's everlasting grace  & faithfulness upon our lives is what keep us going and running the race .

The promises has been given. It's all in the bible. Start claiming your promises by Faith.



               No clearer demonstration of real Christianity then Christ Himself

With Everything

Open our hearts,
To see the things
That make Your heart cry,
To be the church
The You would desire.
Light to be seen.

Break down our pride,
And all the walls
We've built up inside,
Our earthly crowns
And all our desires,
We lay at Your feet.

So let hope rise,
And darkness tremble
In Your holy light,
And every eye will see
Jesus, our God,
Great and mighty to be praised.

God of all days,
Glorious in all of Your ways.
Your majesty, the wonder and grace,
In the light of Your name.

With everything,
With everything,
We will shout for your glory.

With everything,
With everything,
We will shout forth your praise.

Our hearts will cry
Be glorified,
Be lifted high,
Above all names.
For You our King,
With everything,
We will shout forth your praise.

Love That Goes On And On And On And On For Eternity

Here's another revelation of God's Love I received this morning.

John 3:16 

  

   For God SO LOVE the world that He gave HIs only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him 

     should not perish but have everlasting life !

A promise of God 's Love

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. ⁵ It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. ⁶ Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. ⁷ It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 1 Corinthians 13 v 4-7

Especially Verse 7 . That love says it always Protect , Trusts, Hopes & Perseveres. 

It has always been that way even before Jesus dies on the cross.

 Look at what God did for His people ; the Jews.  He brought them out of slavery .

 1. He protected them 

  

 2. He gave them His word and  uses trust by using Moses as a tool to lead them out of slavery. 

 3. He gives them hope that He will lead them out of slavery to land flowing with milk and honey.

 4. His love perseveres till today even after His death !

 He rose again - 

That gave us hope of Christ living in US! He isn't dead. His love DOES NOT fail !

That has given us a purpose to continue running this race because the love perseveres through it all.

That is always a protecting for us to go through any circumstances in life. 

That we could trust in Him because He did not think twice whether He should die for us , He did it willingly because of LOVE!!!

He know we will fail , fall down, give up at times, don't feel like taking that risk BUT because of the 

LOVE that NEVER FAILS, He gave up His life so we can have an Everlasting life ( John 3:16)

CHRIST ALONE , CORNERSTONE

WEAK MADE STRONG, 

IN THE SAVIOR'S LOVE,

THROUGH THE STORM, 

HE IS LORD, LORD OF ALL. 

Jesus's Love for His people is why He died on that cross.

 Back to basics- Love does not give up.

  

 This is to those who feel like their losing hope in the things they are doing. Continue to abide in Him that He may abide in You ( John 15:4) . Fill yourself with His love today because that gives you the boost of strength to run the race that has been set for you. 

Don't put your hope on people, they may fail you But God does not fail.

And lastly

Find Your Identity In Christ not in the things of the world.

The Bible

The whole Bible is about

How Jesus Became King .

From the beginning to the end, it's all about Him.

It's the Perfect King whose Kingdom will reign forever (:

Sometimes all we need is a Heart of Gratitude

It's all about being Grateful for what I have. 

Thank You JESUS for dying on the Cross of Calvary that the veil was torn and I could have a personal relationship with you.

Thank You for doing so because it shows me Your divine nature: God of love, mercy, goodness, faithfulness and compassion. You are deeply moved by compassion and YOU saved the world. Thank you for calling me Your Child. 

Thank you for providing me with such  loving family. A dad so cool, A mum so caring, A brother so loving and makes me laugh at my worst state.

Thank you for amazing friends. Who cares for me , who love me for who I am, who will always be there to support me and help me anytime I call. Literally anytime I call : D. Thank you for certain events we were placed in though we have our quiet time but we become stronger. Friends who I can count on too for prayers ! 

Thank you for a good place to live here in New Zealand and a good home You will soon provide for my friends and I. 

Thank You for the friends I have made throughout this 1st year in university, all kinds of people but You have been my source of strength to go through it all.

Thank You for the excellent results You have given me in my examinations, I could not have done without the constant help of the Holy Spirit, reminding me of Your promises to persevere .

Thank you for the food and clothes you provide & money to support me here.

Thank you , tho with all the ups and downs that happened in life it was meant to mould me to a better person and to learn to be more like You, YOU never fail to come to my rescue and You still remain the same and Your steadfastness .

I THANK YOU JESUS, ‘ YOU SEE THE DEPTHS OF MY HEART AND LOVE ME THE SAME’

But do remember How much I love you Lord.

Loved by, 

Your Child.
