My house for God

Isaiah 66:1-2 "Thus says the Lord: “Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool; what is the house that you would build for me, and what is the place of my rest? All these things my hand has made, and so all these things came to be,declares the Lord. But this is the one to whom I will look: he who is humble and contrite in spirit and trembles at my word."

During the corporate prayer session last Friday, these were the words that convicted my heart. I wept when the pastor came to this part "what is the house that you would build for me?". I wasn't sure why I was so moved or convicted but I kept thinking about the question and my answer after the prayer session.

Today, I felt that I had an answer. The house I will build for God is in my heart. 

Standing in the gap

I was in a cab heading for corporate prayer earlier when we nearly got hit by another car who tried to beat the red light. Gosh, the cab driver had to jam the brakes. I was whatsapping my friends and when I looked up, the other driver had a blank, ashen-faced look. His car was two arms' length away from my side of the cab. The cab driver said "Thank God", and I found out that she was also a Christian. When I alighted at my church, she said: "Thank God!" The corporate prayer session was powerful and quite emotional because we prayed for our incoming pastor. My take-away: I'm even more committed to attending corporate prayer faithfully and regularly.

A Benedictine blessing

May God bless you with discomfort at easy answers, half truths, and superficial relationships, so that you may live deep within your heart. Amen.

May God bless you with anger at injustice, oppression, and exploitation of people, so that you may work for justice, freedom and peace. Amen.

May God bless you with tears to shed for those who suffer from pain, rejection,starvation and war, so that you may reach out your hand to comfort them and to turn their pain into joy. Amen.

May God bless you with enough foolishness to believe that you can make a difference in this world, so that you can do what others claim cannot be done. Amen.

A God of the supernatural

Bought my church's commemorative book which was printed just as my senior pastor was retiring. Chronicles how God moved powerfully through the history of my church, and I have faith that God will do even greater things ahead through His people. Will most likely blog some bits from it because it contains quite a bit on my church as well as the beginnings of the Pentecostal movement in Singapore, but after I finish reading the book.

You can have all the world, but give me Jesus

Give Me Jesus - Fernando Ortega
In the morning, when I rise
In the morning, when I rise
In the morning, when I rise, give me Jesus

Give me Jesus,
Give me Jesus, 
You can have all this world, 
But give me Jesus

When I am alone
When I am alone
When I am alone, give me Jesus

Give me Jesus, 
Give me Jesus, 
You can have all this world, 
But give me Jesus

When I come to die
When I come to die
When I come to die, give me Jesus

Give me Jesus, 
Give me Jesus, 
You can have all this world, 
You can have all this world, 
You can have all this world, 
But give me Jesus 

Forever all my days I will love you God

God I Love You - Jenn Johnson (Bethel Church)


God I look to You
I won't be overwhelmed
Give me vision to see things like You do
God I look to You
You're where my help comes from
Give me wisdom, You know just what to do


I will love You Lord my strength
And I will love you Lord my shield
And I will love You Lord my rock
Forever all my days I will love you God


Hallelujah our God reigns
Hallelujah our God reigns
Hallelujah our God reigns
Forever all my days Hallelujah

RIP, Whitney

Where are you?

Consider where God has placed his people. Not isolated in a desert or quarantined in a bunker. Not separated from society, but smack dab in the middle of it.
