We Believe

The Lord challenges us to believe even when we cannot see. All He asks from each of us is to have faith in Him. The faith of a mustard seed. 

The mustard seed is incredibly small. It holds a great lesson on faith. 

The mustard seed grows into a mustard bush which can reach an average mature height of up to 20 feet with a 20 feet spread. 

It is bewildering, a tiny seed has so much potential.

God asks for us to have faith like a mustard seed, a seed of faith that will grow exponentially. Faith that moves mountains.

Faith is birthed in our hearts by the power of God's spirit. Our faith is not stagnant. God grows our faith. He increases our capacity to receive miracles, signs and wonders. 

He wants us to reach out to Him in childlike faith. We are free from all doubt to embrace His purposes and plans.

When faith arises in our hearts, God will do great exploits through our broken lives.  

We glorify the Lord. We lift up His glorious name. We magnify Him forevermore.

We Live to Worship You

We live to magnify You
We live to exalt Your holy name
We live to proclaim Your majesty
Your surpassing greatness
Your wonder working power
Your unending mercies
Sing through us
Speak through us 
Live through us
We live to worship You

God's Providential Supply

Not too long ago, my brother, Edwin, called to say that his friend was moving house and he had a good working condition sofa to give away.  We took it as the sofa we had was giving way.

The sofa matched our other furnishings in our living room. (The sofa set that is near the hanging fan.) We thank God for supplying our every need.  He watches over us and meets our needs.

We Trust in the Lord

Some put their trust in chariots.  Some put their trust in horses.  We put our trust in the Lord. Our faithful God who leads us in triumph. Our God who never fails.  Our hearts are not bought in by this world and its trappings.  Our sole desire is to see God glorified.  We magnify the Lord above all else.  We proclaim His majesty.  He reigns from on high. His train fills the temple.  He is high and lifted up. 

We Worship You

The sky gets more brilliant and stunning with each passing moment this morning. We rise to worship You, the true and the living God. You pour Your grace on us lavishly. You are the reason why we keep on going. Live through us this day. Shine the light of Your glory on us Your broken people. We worship You, King of kings and Lord of lords.

Deep in Our Heart

Deep in our heart
A place of love
A place of gratitude
A place of surrender
Dwell in us
By the power of Your Spirit
Set us apart
Set our heart on fire
Set our heart free
Free to love
Free to serve
Free to worship You
Deep in our heart
Your love abounds
Your grace abounds
Your hope abounds

Trust

When our life is crumbling and falling apart, God holds us firmly with His love. God is far bigger than the sum total of all our problems.  He is beyond our finite imagination.  He is beyond logic.  He is beyond human reasoning.  God in His mercy picked us up from our messy past.  He gives us eternal hope.  He fills our heart with great joy.  When we come up against a wall, God challenges us to focus on Him.  He speaks strength, hope and wholeness into our mortal beings.  He speaks life to the dead bones and breathes life to our battered heart.  He is alive.  We can put our trust in our God who is fully dependable.  He never fails.  He watches over us and covers us with His abiding love.  He comforts and strengthens us.

His Sustaining Power

We are just a breath away between life and death.  God sustains us daily.  He sustains us with His breath.  His mercy sustains us.  His power sustains us.  His grace sustains us.  The fishes can never live without water.  We cannot survive apart from the Lord.  He not only breathed life into our mortal bodies, He gives us purpose and meaning to live for Him.  He gives us undying hope and comfort.  Trials and tribulations cannot deter us from pursuing God.  They make us strong and resilient.  We are made to weather tough terrains because God makes us overcomers.  He gives us strength and dignity.  He gives us joyful hope to face every new day.  He gives us power and grace to live for His glory.

King of Glory

Lift up our hearts
Let the King of glory come in

Lift up our heads
Let the hope of glory come in

Lift up our eyes
Let the Lord be exalted

Merciful God
Wonderful Saviour
Rock of ages
King of glory
Eternal God
Majestic
Glorious

We worship You
With all that is within us
We cry out to You

His Miraculous Provision

This morning, I call to mind the miraculous provision of the Lord. In March 2016, Monte was delivering a paper at the Society of Pentecostal Studies conference in San Dimas, California. We prayed and trusted God to make that trip together. It was my maiden trip to United States of America.
One day, we went to Sequoia National Park with our brother-in-law and late sister-in-law. It was so magnificent and beautiful. For the first time in my life, I held snow in my hands. My heart was bursting with joy and gratitude.
Our hearts went out to every person who made our trip possible. Many of them encouraged us, prayed with us, supported us and blessed us. We continue to thank them from the depth of our hearts. There were some who have their own pressing needs but they sacrificed in love.
God opened our hearts to see His miraculous provision. There is nothing He cannot do. He sees us through yesterday, He sees us through today and we trust Him for our tomorrow. We see His hand of love. We taste His goodness. We feel His abiding presence.

Love Divine

Love so deep
Love so strong
Love so great
Love crucified
Love glorified
Love magnified
We drink in Your love
We bask in Your love
We revel in Your love
Love supreme
Love sovereign
Love divine

His Faithfulness Reaches to the Sky





Monte and I moved into our first flat in Seng Kang in 2001.  We lived in Bukit Batok for a year right after we got married in a rental flat.

We really loved staying here in Seng Kang.  It is convenient to go to many parts of Singapore from our home.  The living environment is great.

We are thankful to be staying on the highest floor of our block.  Overtime, I have captured some shots from our home.  The sky has a way to captivate my heart.  God's faithfulness reaches to the sky.
