Contentment






At all time, God have speaking right to you,
that what lies ahead is not important,
For he have planned your life in His Way,
A way to sharpen, strengthen our ability


God had planned something better for us so that only together with us would they be made perfect. (Hebrew 11: 40)


Would you have worry what coming tomorrow?
The troubles that your mind and thought foresee
But find peace in the Lord for what seem burdensome to you
Guard yourself from the scheme of the devil
but be blessed by the Glory of God that protect you

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints, and also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak. (Ephesian 6: 10 - 20)

Submit everything to the Lord
Casting what troubles you to the Mighty one
He will make you able
For the Lord, have never forsaken you
nor will allow you be harm


Cast your burden upon the LORD, and He will sustain you; He will never allow the righteous to be shaken. (Psalm 55:22)


God Bless !

Church without Wall

20/01/2013
Hope Serdang
-First Church Service

Then I looked up, and there before me was a man with a measuring line in his hand. I asked, “Where are you going?” He answered me, “To measure Jerusalem, to find out how wide and how long it is.” While the angel who was speaking to me was leaving, another angel came to meet him and said to him: “Run, tell that young man, ‘Jerusalem will be a city without walls because of the great number of people and animals in it. And I myself will be a wall of fire around it,’ declares the Lord , ‘and I will be its glory within.’ “Come! Come! Flee from the land of the north,” declares the Lord , “for I have scattered you to the four winds of heaven,” declares the Lord . “Come, Zion! Escape, you who live in Daughter Babylon!” For this is what the Lord Almighty says: “After the Glorious One has sent me against the nations that have plundered you—for whoever touches you touches the apple of his eye— I will surely raise my hand against them so that their slaves will plunder them. Then you will know that the Lord Almighty has sent me. “Shout and be glad, Daughter Zion. For I am coming, and I will live among you,” declares the Lord . “Many nations will be joined with the Lord in that day and will become my people. I will live among you and you will know that the Lord Almighty has sent me to you. The Lord will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land and will again choose Jerusalem. Be still before the Lord , all mankind, because he has roused himself from his holy dwelling.” (Zechariah 2:1-13 NIV)

-We as human, couldn't breakthrough the wall/ limit of our ability
-but The Lord can make breakthrough in limitation

-no one shall be restricted , for The Lord never limit us to breakthrough

-Your life does not restricted to time/situation/career/family/ wealth

-Regardless of what attack, whether a not is spiritual attack/ emotion attack

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. (Ephesians 6:10-13 NIV)

-one shall never fear, for God promise to protect you in all circumstances
-be armed and equipped with armor of God

-All Glory to The Lord

No one shall boast about what they have done
-For The Lord made all possible

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

-One shall humble upon The Lord , for its all from God that it was given/provided

Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up. (James 4:10 NIV)

-Life a live without limitation
-God is the boundary

-Breakthrough the stronghold
-God is your firewall
-God is your strength

Testimonial November (Final Semester of Degree)

Dear Brothers and Sisters
Today I would like to share
One of the faith-challenged testimonial in my walk in Christ while I'm here

For many years of studies
-I have been excelling in my studies all the while without much worries regarding my grade
-till the last semester of my degree

-a storm hit me hard that nearly drowned my faith

-there was an elective paper that I had, which I have frustration upon it
-I seek prayers from many people around me , just to pray that I could get pass it

-but sadly to say, it didn't come to pass

-eventually I actually failed my final by just one mark with a grade of 6

-during that time, I hustle with my faith in Christ, asking why do this happen to me on this very last semester which I'm graduating

-to top up the stress and knowing that,
my family and relatives whom had high hopes on me whom will be the excelling graduates to come back with good grades

-during that time, I felt embarrass and disappointed with what have happened as I couldn't face anyone whom knew Im graduating or even asked about my semester result

- but during that season, God whom a loving father and gracious one covered me in his embrace remind me of a verse

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. (Proverbs 3:5, 6 NIV)

-and during that time
I learn to how to submit my life to The Lord in all circumstances that comes forth and even try to grasp my faith to stand faithfully and still in him

-for he told me that, I'm was never alone by myself for him is always there for me

-I actually felt very blessed for that season of time in my life for God's plan is greater than mine

-I receive lots of blessing from the brothers and sisters whom knew of it

-I learn to be still in The Lord as he is King over the storm

-miraculously many blessings come upon me, even my family whom I expect that they will be upset but instead they encouraged me to press on and i felt loved by them even though I failed to impressed them. For I, see love is starting to grow in my family relationship with myself

-and then I remember I made a prayer to God that to make my faith still in Him and let it be another life changing event to see how he shape and build me as his son
-and break through In my family relationship

The Lord did answer my prayer by challenging my faith and even have such awesome plan for me up ahead

And now, I learnt to be still In The Lord for he had declared

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord , “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. (Jeremiah 29:11 NIV)

Which have became one of verse that kept in my heart
that for what ahead no longer matter for I do not know the plan of The Lord but to follow him in faith that Im no longer lost
With abundant hopes to be seek in future

That my soul could always rest in him alone
