Grace is the key

By Daughter Of Sarah -
"I sent you to harvest where you didn't plant; others had already done the work, and now you will get to gather the harvest." - Jesus to His disciples in Chapt 4:38

Reading that verse, I suddenly felt the HS inside me tell me - UNDESERVED FAVOUR. =)

I really praise God for this wonderful gift of GRACE through Christ Jesus. It means that today, it is not for me to labour to enjoy my life. What is needed of me is to have an attitude of Praise and Worship, and to receive His gift of Grace, knowing that it is ALL of Him and none of me.

I am wondering how to apply this in the way I teach Kae though. I am first to admit that it gets tough because on one hand, I dun wan to bark at him the way my parents did - "You better study HARD or else your exams how???" I have sadly said similar things in recent days as his exams draw nearer.

I want to tell him to rest, Daddy God has gone ahead and conquered it all for you. But then I am concerned he will take it to mean - just play, dun need to study. Lol.

So I've been reminding him to just study his best so that God can do wonders through him.

Hmmm... HS just taught me this as I was blogging... how to phrase it to him. Share with you:

"Kae, I am not saying if you don't study hard, that's it for you. I am saying you must do what you have to do in the natural and be responsible, and Daddy God will do the supernatural for you in every area of your life. I am not trying to be legalistic when I say you must study harder... I know it sounds like 'doing', but I am trying to tell you that this is your area of responsibility and you need to do your best to give glory to Christ so that His glory can shine through you. No matter what we love you and we are proud of you because we know you will always try your best. You are our beloved son and we are very blessed to have a little boy like you."

Don't you love Daddy God? He teaches you exactly what to say and when to say and how to say it. AMEN!

Gonna tell this to Kae when he wakes up from his sleep.

Sermon 31/08/2008 - Pastor Lian (NCC)

By -
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 ...

What the Anointing Oil is & Prayer for the Anointing Oil

By -
Pastor Prince from New Creation Church has recently called upon the church members to use the Anointing Oil to bless every area of our lives. He had gone to Tiberius Church in Indonesia and seen how the anointing oil has made a difference to the Christians there. The senior pastor of Tiberius Church, Pastor Yesaya Pariadji, had been led by the Father to get his church to use the anointing oil radically. He had a vision of a biblical quotation when he was still not yet a Christian - he had no idea what it was. When he became a pastor, he finally understood what it meant. He felt very led to get his church to use anointing oil so they went ahead and used it; their testimonials are plentiful and amazing. Pastor Prince being a huge believer in Sola Scriptura, decided to discern further, pray about this and read up on the scriptural references on Anointing Oil before telling us to use it. He believes in doing things biblically - meaning we can be radical in our faith (for example our churc...

You have Comeback Power - Joel Osteen (Transcript) Pt 1

By Daughter Of Sarah -
I like to start with something funny - I heard about this pastor, he decided to skip church one Sunday and go play golf. He told his assistant he wasn't feeling well and he drove to another city's gold course there so no one would recognise him. He teed off at the first hole. All of a sudden a huge gust of wind caught his ball, carried it an extra hundred yard and blew it right into the hole for a 421 yard hole-in-one. The angel looked at God and asked, "What didcha do that for?" God smiled and said, "Who's he gonna tell?" Alright. Hold up your bible. Say it like you mean it - “This is my bible I am what it says I am, I have what it says I have, I can do what it says I can do. Today I will be taught the Word of God. I boldly confess my mind is alert, my heart is receptive, I will never be the same. In Jesus’s name.” God bless you. I want to talk to you today about how you have Comeback power. We all face situations that seem like they could bury us - the...
