Faith

I was with Calvary Charismatic Centre now known as Victory Family Centre from 1983 to 2000.

I can vividly remember how on many occasions after Life group meetings, my heart was full of the presence of the Lord.  I recalled the many testimonys glorifying the Lord.  God inspired me and built faith in my heart.  The God we serve is a miracle Working God.  He is alive.  He is actively at work in our lives.

As we share the faithfulness and goodness of God.  He is planting faith in us.  Our faith is infectious.  Our faith is inspiring.  Our faith comes from God.  We are nothing apart from Him.  God grows and develops our spiritual muscles.  With time and experiences He allows us  to go through.  He increases our faith to trust Him for the miraculous.  He pours His anointing on us as we step out in faith.  The situations and circumstances may not change.  What changes is the new perspective He gives us.  We see through His eyes.  We hear through His ears.  We understand with His heart.

Fresh Fire

God is seeking out a broken and a contrite people.  A people who are consumed with His love.  

A people who are willing to embrace the cross.  A nameless and faceless people who will consecrate our lives on His altar.  A people whose hearts are burning with His desires.

Work through us, Lord.  Burn Your deep desire in us.  Consume us with Your love.  Perform mighty miracles through each of us.  Let Your fresh fire burn strongly and brightly in us.

Is our God
Great and mighty
Is our Rock
Great and mighty
Is our eternal God

Flow Through Us

God works through broken lives.  He breathes hope into our broken dreams. He speaks life. He speaks strength to our broken spirit.  

Life enters our lifeless bones. He speaks wholeness and strength. He brings comfort and grace to His beloved. The power of His love envelopes us. The strength of His spirit energizes us. The hope of His glory radiates through our lives.

Grateful

Yesterday, my thyroid nodules biopsies result were out.  The thyroid nodules are benign.  Monte and I are so grateful to God's intervention and grace on our lives.

The waiting period was not an easy time.  We do not know how things would turn out.  We only know that we can put our complete trust in the goodness of God.  He is in complete control. 

God's breath sustains us moment by moment.  Every breath we take reminds us of His mercy and grace.  He lives in and through us.  He chooses to work His wonders and miracles through each broken vessel.  God is with us.  He is with us in the fire.  He is with us in the stormy sea.  He is Immanuel.  God with us.  All we have to do is to abide in His presence. Abide in His love.  Abide in Him.  Nothing in this world can separate us from the love of God. 

Thursday, July 16, 2020

Empower Us

The Lord tranforms us daily.  He beckons us to follow Him.  In faith and obedience, we pursue Him relentlessly. 

He pours His mercy and grace on us lavishly. We owe a debt we cannot pay. We can never outgive Him. He keeps pouring His blessings on us. 

He reminds us that we are His.  The Lord burns His deep desires in us. He purifies and sanctifies us as we worship Him. 

We are the carrier and courier of His presence. He endows us with His gifts and talents.  Creative ideas come from God. He grants us insights and wisdom to solve problems.

Lord, do a deep and a lasting work in us. Spirit of the living God, come powerfully on us.  Anoint and empower this day.  Touch our lives. Set our hearts on fire. Be magnified through us. Shine Your glorious light on our broken lives.

Monte and I at Emerald Hill

The Christmas of 2018, we wanted to send Christmas greetings to our family and friends.  We headed to Emerald Hill road for the photo taking. A student passed by and helped us to take this shot. It turned out so well.

Thank You

Thank You
For the air we breathe 
Thank You
For the lilies in the field
Thank You
For the birds that sing

We find every circumstance 
To thank You
Every step of faith
Is a gift from You

Strengthening us
Stretching us
Scalping us

Thank You
For Your fresh fire
For Your overflowing streams
For Your living water

Come Lord

Down the corridors of time, faithful men and women have laid down their lives in pursuit of God. 

We set our hearts to seek You in the desert. We set our hearts to seek You in the raging storm. We set our hearts to seek You in treacherous terrain.  

You have called us to Yourself. You have made a covenant with us. You  have redeemed us for Your glory. Touch our broken lives as we worship You.

We lay our ourselves on Your altar. Consume us with fresh fire. Burn Your deep desires in us. Birth Your dreams in our hearts and spirits. 

We magnify Your name. We come in humble submission.  We come with contrite hearts.  Seeking You to love You.  Seeking You with no agenda.  Seeking You for You are worthy of all the praises in our hearts.  

Everlasting God, come and abide in us. Come and dwell among us. Come in all Your glory and power.

The Tenderness of Christ

This goes back to the early 90's when the evangelist, Rev Roy Durman, was featured as a speaker for one of our crusades in Singapore.  He went home to be with the Lord on 16 March 2018.

The atmosphere at the crusade was so charged up.  The Lord's powerful anointing was on evangelist Durman.  He was used by the Lord to touch many who were there; some were in desperate need of healing.

I remember praying to the Lord for this anointing that I saw in this servant of God.  I was drawn by the tenderness and compassion of the Lord that was oozing out of him. It reminded me of many instances when Jesus ministered to the needy people out of such overwhelming love and compassion.  I vividly remember that evangelist Durman called upon the church to stand with him in prayer.  We believed God for a mighty move of His spirit.  The anointed servant of God had such a tender heart and spirit. 

At the end of the day, evangelist Durman was a vessel that God moved through.  He availed himself and God's anointing fell on him.  Ultimately all eyes were fixed on the Lord.  The Balm of Gilead was on spilling over the l people.  The great physician came in His power and glory to touch the sick and broken.  Many came to accept Jesus as their personal saviour.

As believers, the Lord anoints for ministry.  When the anointing of God comes upon us, we are empowered.  God can use anyone of us.  He does not need our talents and skills.  He wants our hearts.  His anointing flows through broken, yielded and humble vessels.  We cannot do anything apart from Him.  As we reach out and touch the helm of His garment.  His anointing flows out of Him.  We the recipients of His anointing and grace step into the arena.  We allow God to work through us.  Giving all the glory, honour and praise to our redeemer.

Merciful Lord

God has blessed me with Monte. He has always been there for me. Loving, supporting and encouraging me all these years. I have spent the best years of my life with Monte. We see His glory. We taste His goodness. We know His grace.

I battled depression as a young adult. I went through countless bouts of depression in my lifetime. 

Those were very dark days. Facing another new day was a challenge when depressive moods engulfed me. There were days I did not know how I could ever go on.

When I was depressed, everything came to a standstill. Every facet of Monte and my life were badly affected. We felt the destructive force of depression.

I saw the psychiatrist in 2021. I went on medication. The doctor weaned me off the antidepressants gradually. I was discharged in Jan 2022. Since then, I have not taken any medication for depression. Glory be to God! The Lord is our mighty healer.

The power of God is real. His healing power floods through our broken bodies. He rights every wrong. He restores. He renews. He rebuilds our broken lives.

All these years, Monte's patient love and long suffering helped me tremendously. His prayer and encouragement supported me. I thank God for Monte.

God raises us to face the mountains in our lives. He is Immanuel, God with us. He will never forsake us. He brings comfort and strength in our pain and suffering. We are not alone. He is our ever present help.  

This day, we cry out to You, Lord! Live through our broken lives. Have mercy on us. We live victoriously through Your grace and power. We do not merely survive, we thrive by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Mighty God

You determined the stars in the sky.  You named each of them.  You spoke the world into existence.  Great and mighty are You.  You are clothed with strength and power.  Your dominion is over all.  We bow and worship You the ever living God.  Every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that You are Lord.  We declare Your majesty.  We proclaim Your great power from now till eternity.

He Made Colours


This morning, I was out brisk walking.  I was fascinated by the different shades of blue  a period of time.  

God created colours. His creativity is evident in His creation. The human eye can detect about 100 shades of blue.  The Lord has blessed us with eyes to behold His beauty and glory.  All creation worship His magnificent power and greatness. 

Draw Us by Your Spirit

With each passing day, we see the power of Your love.  With each passing day, we see the smallness of our strength.  With each passing day, we taste the goodness of Your love.  

With each passing day, we see the futility of earthly pursuit.  With each passing day, we drink from the river of Your spirit.  With each passing day, we see the emptiness of worldly living.  

Draw us by Your spirit.  We want to run after You.  Draw us by Your power, we want to come on bended knees.  Draw us by Your love, we long for Your courts.  

Your constant and overpowering love consumes us every moment of our lives.  

We declare Your lordship.  We declare Your majesty.  We worship and adore You.

He Moves Through Us

God ministers through broken vessels. He wants us to step out of our comfort zone. He takes over and move in and through us.

Sometime between year 2000 and 2001, Monte and I were at Asia Pacific Theological Seminary (APTS) in Baguio, Philippines. 

The late Dr Chin Do Kham, who was then the Dean of Students, was not able to honour a commitment. He asked if I could take it on. When I found out that I had to sit on a panel at a worship seminar at Baguio Assembly of God. I was elated. At the same time, it seemed a little too big for me.

I was deeply honoured by the invitation. I felt that it would be difficult to fill his shoes.

Monte encouraged me to take the challenge. To cut the long story short, I did it. 

It turned out to be a great blessing. I went away encouraged and thankful for God's help, grace and strength. His enablement and empowerment was more than enough for me to accomplish the task.

God uses every ministry opportunity to bless us. He stretches us. He works powerfully through us.  As we yield to His hand of love, He begins to sharpen our skills and talents. He pours His anointing on us.  

He is looking for willing vessels to step out of our comfort zone. He reveals His purposes and plans to us as we set our hearts to love and serve Him. Our God is faithful. He moves mightily through every broken vessel.

When God opens the door, He graces us with His capabilities and strength. He graces us and bless us. He opens doors for us to minister. He challenges us to leave our comfort zone. He challenges us to step into the water. He stretches our faith as we step out in obedience

When we step out in faith and confidence in Him, He lifts us to greater heights. He teaches us new skills. He broadens our horizons. He stretches us to trust Him. We are incapable to do anything without His empowerment. He shows us the smallness of our strength and the greatness of His power.

The Goodness of God

In mid 2018, I was trying to get new reading glasses and I was told by the optician that I may have early stage glaucoma.  

I saw the doctor and was subsequently referred to Singapore National Eye Centre (SNEC) in July 2018.  

The specialist examined me and said that if I did not receive treatment I will develop acute angle closure glaucoma. 

On that same day, I had laser iridotomy done. This is a surgical procedure performed on the eye to treat angle closure glaucoma. This is a condition of increased pressure in the front chamber of the eyes caused by sudden or slowly progressive blockage of the normal circulation of fluid within the eye. 

I realised the situation was evidently dangerous. Without treatment, one can lose his or her eye sight.  

I thank God that I have fully recovered. I am still being monitored by the glaucoma doctor at SNEC.

God watches over us.  We are in His good hands. He is in full control. He Orchestrates the circumstances and situations in our lives to bring Him honour and glory. He leads us on daily.

We live by the power of His Spirit. We walk in the strength of His grace. We triumph through the might of His power.

Deep Appreciation

Through my current health crisis, many have reached out to me.  People are praying.  They are showering me with loving concern and encouragement.  I am overwhelmed by the love and support.  My heartfelt appreciation goes out to everyone of you who have reached out to me. 

As we face challenges,  we are never alone.  Besides our loved ones,  there are others outside our families who are actively involved in our lives.  The body of Christ is a shining testimony of God.  We are united as one as we meet the needs of one another.

Divine Intervention

Each day, God sustains us by the power of His Spirit. We lean not on our own wisdom. We lean not on our own understanding. We trust Him alone.  

As we make decisions and stand at crossroads. The Lord directs us to His way and purpose. He grants us discernment, wisdom and insights. 

We open our hearts to God's full control. In our crises and dire circumstances, the peace of God reigns. Nothing can separate us from the love of God. Waiting and resting in His love open the door for God to move upon our lives. 

His divine intervention shows us His mercy and grace. God is faithful. His faithfulness reaches to the skies. We stand with boldness and courage because God is on our side.

Merciful Love

Each day brings God's hope and optimism.  Each breath we take is filled with His mercy. Each step we faith is strengthened by His grace.  God pours His Mercy and love on us without reservation.  He has written ou names on the palm of His hands.  Each day He gives us is blessed.

Our lives are deeply enveloped in His purposes and destiny for us.  Our success is not determined by the accumulation of wealth, assets and prestige.  Our success is seen through our pursuit of the Lord.  It is measured by how much of Christ is seen in and through us.

The Lord consumes our lives with fresh fire.  He leads us through storms and deserts.  The perilous terrain cannot stop us from following our maker.  He directs our every step.  He shows us a sign of His goodness.  All we see is the merciful love of our redeemer.

Beauty Beyond Description

On 29 May 2014, Monte and I were out at Changi beach. This awesome shot was captured on that lovely evening. 

The Lord creates beauty that words fail to describe. Our limited vocabulary is incapable to express His glorious and magnificent beauty.  

God reveals His goodness and love to us daily. The gift of God is a heart that reaches out to Him unceasingly. God is looking for a broken people. God is looking for a people who are completely dependent on Him.

God pours His love and power on us mercifully. Our Shepherd calls us to Himself. He draws us by the power of His Spirit. He empowers us to live for His glory. We live in the light of His love. He deserves the highest praise.

Prince of Peace

My mum has multiple health challenges for many years now.  On 10 June, we received more news of further health challenges.  My heart was overwhelmed.  Monte and I prayed together and committed her to the Lord.

Recently,  I have a lump on my neck and went to consult the doctor. The doctor ordered for blood test and ultrasound of my thyroid.  On 11 June,  I received word from the doctor that my thyroid ultrasound showed three nodules.  I will be followed up by the specialist on 18 June . Two of the nodules will be biopsied.  I covet your prayer.

The only reason we are still alive is because God has sustained us with His breath.  He is the reason for our existence.  He lives His purposes through each yielded vessels.  He pours His mercy and grace on us lavishly.

Through it all,  God is ever faithful.  God floods my heart with His peace.  Peace that passes understanding. Peace so precious and priceless.  Peace that only His beloved children can understand.  He is the Prince of peace.  He is the everlasting God.  He is God eternal.  He rules and reigns in every broken life.

We  worship You almighty God.  We bow and worship You at Your footstool.  Rain Your love and power on us.  We need You, Lord.

Lover of Our Soul

Lord, You have been gracious to us.  You lavish Your love on us moment by moment.  Nothing can separate us from Your love.  You are with us in the deepest sea. You are with us in the highest mountain.  We will never go anywhere Your presence does not lead us.  Shepherd of our soul, guide us and lead us.  We drink at Your streams.  We feast at Your table.  We rest in Your love.  Lover of our soul, we trust in Your unfailing love.

Move Mightily Through Us

God is supernatural.  We are His redeemed people.  A people of power and grace.  He pours His gifts and anointing on broken vessels.  He endows us with His gifts to bless His people. Gifts of discernment, word of knowledge, healing, prophecy are ways God has chosen to move through us.  Lord, anoint us to be Your extension.  Anoint us from oil from Your presence.  Empower us to move in Your gifts.  Make us Your instrument.  Make us Your vessel.  Make us a channel of Your love and blessings.  Move mightily through each of us.   Our sole desire is to glorify Your name. 

Your Dwelling Place

Lead us to ever flowing streams.  Lead us to never dying dreams.  Lead us to never ending hope.

We long for You
You are our portion forever

We Glorify Your Name

Lord, You have made us for Your glory. You have made us to glorify Your name. You have made us to declare Your majesty.  

Awake harp and lyre. Let the mountains sing. Let the rivers clap their hands. Let the rocks cry out to our maker.  

Be exalted. Be magnified. Be high and lifted up. Let everything that has breath praise Your holy name. Let every mouth declare that You are Lord. Let every knee bow in holy reverence. We worship You almighty God. 

Empower Us

The life and light of Christ burst through the broken in spirit.  Seek the Lord and He shall be found.  We find the Lord through the fire.  We find the Lord through the furnace.  We find the Lord in the wilderness.  Speak Lord!  Speak strength and hope into our hearts.  Raise us up to declare the wonder of Your great love.  Empower us to live the dream You have birthed within us.  Move mightily in and through our broken lives. 

Monday, March 30, 2020

Hope Abounds

We hope in You all day long.  We rest in Your love all day long.  We bask in Your presence all day long.  You are the light of life.  You are our only source.  We fear no sudden disaster because Your spirit is with us.  

You cover us with Your abiding presence.  You shield us from seen and unseen danger.  At night, when we lay on heads to rest, there Your sure presence abides with us.  We find rest in our maker.  We live because You sustain us with Your breath and life.

We Call on You

2020 is a very significant year for all of us.  Covid 19 brought the world to a standstill.  The escalating infection and death toll are the main stay of most countries.

God is calling us to Himself.  He is drawing us to the holy of holies.  He is beckoning us to bow at His feet.  Fear has paralyzed many.  Today,  the Lord calls out to His beloved.  He gives peace, hope and consolation.  He alone can calm our raging nerves.  He alone brings hope and healing in the face of this dark days and hours.  The Lord comes to rescue and deliver us.  He comes with His power and might.

Let us bow humbly before almighty God.  Let us come and intercede and pray for deliverance.  Let us seek the face of God.  Let us love and behold our risen Lord. 

Enough

Just to taste Your goodness
Is enough
Just to feel Your tender mercies
Is enough
Just to hear Your voice
Is enough
Just to touch the helm of Your garment
Is enough

Just to see Your hand of love
Is enough
Just to know You
Is enough
We call on You
We cry out to You
We rest in Your love
Just to know You
Is enough

Reign in Us

Lord, burn Your deep desire in us.  Consume our broken lives.  Captivate our hearts and set us free to worship You.  Move mightily in us. 

We are hungry for a move of God.  We are thirsty for Your living water.  

Break us, mould us and refine us.  Do a deep and a lasting work in us.  

Reign in Your power.  Reign in Your glory.  Reign in Your might.  

We offer our lives at Your altar.  Do whatever You desire.  We live in Your promises.  We live by Your breath.  We live by Your sustaining power.

New Growth

Recently,  I planted some peppermint seeds.  A few days later,  baby shoots appeared.  Without the soil, sun and water, this will be next to impossible.

God nurtures and nourishes us with His word and presence.  Growth takes place when we go through challenges and emerge from them through God's divine intervention.  God grows our faith and lead us to trust Him increasingly.  We can never assume that we have reached the pinnacle.  We continue to grow in the Lord daily.  New challenges will come.  God see our authenticity.  He wants our total obedience.  He leads us to uncharted territory to show us His might and glory.  Like these little peppermint shoots, we depend on Him and desperately need His hand of love and covering.  We thrive and persevere to see the image of Christ formed in us.

Teach Us Your Ways

Teach us Your ways
And we will walk in Your ways

Draw us by Your spirit
And we will run after You

Reveal Your heart to us
And we will obey Your word

Cleanse us from within
Rebuild our broken lives
Renew our love

Come and abide in us
Come like a mighty river
Come like a strong wind

We need the touch of Your spirit
We need You, Lord

The Poor in Spirit

Lord, flood our hearts with Your mercy and grace this day.  The poor in spirit shall inherit the earth.  The poor in spirit shall overcome.  The poor in spirit would come before You on bended knees.  Work Your purposes in us.  We are people of hope.  We are people of resurrection power.  We are a people completely surrendered to You.  The poor in spirit will see Your glory.  The poor in spirit will taste Your goodness.  The poor in spirit shall do great exploits for Your glory.

Faithful God

Today marks the 21st year of our holy matrimony.  God has blessed me with a loving husband.  His support and encouragement brings out a better me.  His love and sacrifice all these years speak of his deep commitment towards me.  His patient love and care flow from his heart.  I love you, Monte!

God has blessed us beyond our wildest imagination.  He has led through an amazing journey to know the depth of His love.  He opens our eyes to see a glimpse of His glory.  We put our complete trust in our maker.  He holds us by the hand and leads us to uncharted territory.  We rest in His love each day.  We cannot live without the Lord.  We are eternally grateful for His faithfulness reaches to the skies.

Thursday, March 19, 2020

Merciful Lord

You give us courage and strength to face each new day.  We do not deserve anything but You pour Your grace and mercy on us unceasingly.  You lavish Your love on us extravagantly.  You fill our hearts with Your living hope.  Your abiding presence flood our hearts like a mighty wave.  Merciful Lord!  Wash us with Your word.  Cleanse us with Your fire.  Consume our broken lives.  Set us apart for You.  We long for Your courts.  We cannot live without You.

Faithful God

Sometime in mid 2018, I was trying to get new reading glasses.  The staff at the optical shop checked my eyes and told me that I had glaucoma.  He advised me to seek medical help as soon as possible. 

Subsequently, I went to the polyclinic and was then referred  to the Singapore National Eye Centre (SNEC).  

On 27 July 2018, I saw the eye specialist at SNEC.  I was examined by the ophthalmologist and laser IRIDOTOMY was done on the same day. I would have had acute angle closure glaucoma if I did nothing.  

I have completely recovered since then. 
God has protected me.  Acute angle closure glaucoma can be potentially dangerous.  It can lead to blindness if it is left unattended. 

Each day we live to see a sign of His goodness.  He watches over us lovingly.  He protects us from seen and unseen danger.  

We are safe and secure in Him.  We rest in His love.  We find hope, solace and strength in our faithful God.
