Sermon 31/08/2008 - Pastor Lian (NCC)
Pastor Lian has been in NCC for 20 years!! Joke- There was this really old obese lady who was so fat she had serious heart problem. One day she had heart attack and brought her to hospital and she died on op table. She came face to face with God and said sheepishly I guess my time is up… and God said no you are still young you are only 50 plus and you are a NCCer - u can live till 120 years. She woke up and told the doctor and told the doc she just want to have something else done. So she had an extreme makeover. It took a few mths and as she stepped out of the hospital, a car knocked her down and she died - God was as surprised to see her as she was to be back there. Just then, the angels sheepishly admitted - they could not recognise her. Lol. ---------------------------------------------------------- From young, Pastor Prince has always said - "God said", "God can" - he has always possessed a good opinion of God. 14 years from moving to The Rock location - 2 x 7
Hi Geri,
ReplyDeleteJust a few days ago, a regular customer (who is a Christian from another church) greeted me at my stall with this weird greeting:"Is God good?"
It sounded almost like a challenge rather than a greeting ;-) I actually hesitated for a split second before the reply came to me: "All the time!" I answered :-)
Hi Geri,
ReplyDeleteYou are truly a daughter of Zion!
The comics brightens my night! It is midnight now!! The start of a new day and surely I am going to rejoice in it.
We can choose to rejoice whatever comes our way. While Paul was in prison, he wrote this verse:
Rejoice in the Lord always and I will say it again: rejoice!
The prophet Habakkuk wrote this:
Though the fig tree may not blossom,
Nor fruit be on the vines;
Though the labor of the olive may fail,
And the fields yield no food;
Though the flock may be cut off from the fold,
And there be no herd in the stalls—
Yet I will rejoice in the LORD,
I will joy in the God of my salvation.
The LORD God is my strength;
He will make my feet like deer’s feet,
And He will make me walk on my high hills.
(Habakkuk 3:17-19)
Cheers,
Joo
Amen! God is good all the time indeed!
ReplyDeleteI praise Jesus that the comics brightened your day =)
AND AMEN! We can always rejoice in the LORD for even though we have trials to go through, the LORD always redeems us from them because of His love, tender mercies and grace. Hallelujah!
Hi Geri,
ReplyDeleteOur Daddy God really has a sense of humour :-)
After I read this comic on Monday and posted a comment (18/8), yesterday (i.e. 19/8) I had the worst day of biz for months. Then I hear this inside my heart:"Am I still good?"
"YES! Daddy God." I know You are good because of Christ, not because of my circumstances.
