Move Upon Us

Our God is faithful. He is with us in every season of our lives. He is with us when we are between a wall and a hard place. We experience God's divine intervention daily.

We turn to the Lord in our hour of need. God comes through for us. His mercy reigns. His abounding grace overflows.

The hand of God is never too short to reach us. His ears are inclined to our cries for help. He is constantly reaching out to us. He pours His power and grace on us. 

The Lord does His deepest work in us I in our darkest hours. The fire of His love burns bright and strong in our broken lives.

Deep calls to deep. The deep hunger and cries from our hearts reach the Lord. He responds by pouring His mercy and grace on us.

Lord, let us not limit Your movements in our lives. Move powerfully through us. Show us Your power and glory.

The more we yield to Lord, the more He moves upon us. When we step out in obedience, His anointing is unleashed on us. We receive His empowerment.  We begin to move in His anointing.

Mighty Healer

In recent years, I have been battling osteoarthritis. My last two fingers on my right hand cannot bend fully.  

God healed me when I was in Baguio, Philippines in early 2023. Monte and I spent a month at Asia Pacific Theological Seminary (APTS) situated at Baguio, Philippines.

I am thankful to be able to clench my right fist completely. I have a firmer grip of my right hand. Glory be to God!

It is significant the healing happened in Baguio, Philippines as Monte and I went to Asia Pacific Theological Seminary (APTS). The Lord healed me in a significant way. 

Making the trip to APTS was a challenge. My thyroid eye disease caused my upper eye lids to swell due to the flight to Baguio. On top of that, APTS is situated 5000 feet above sea level. This further aggravated my upper eyelid swelling. God is so merciful to see me through the whole trip. I continue to trust God for complete healing.

Monte and I prayed and trusted God as we embarked on this journey. We are amazed at the healing power and the goodness of God. God is in complete control.

The Lord is the greatest physician. His healing can be instantaneous. It can be progressive. His healing balm flows through our broken bodies.  

All honour and glory be to our great healer. He is worthy to be praised.

God puts faith in our hearts for the miraculous. God's miraculous power is on display when He heals us.

Lord, we call upon Your mighty name. We declare Your healing power on our bodies. Right every wrong in out bodies. Remove all pain and sickness. Let our organs and body parts function correctly. Touch us from the top of our heads to the sole of our feet. Thank you for touching and healing us. We proclaim Your glory in all the earth.

We Magnify You

Lord, nothing else matters apart from You being the focus. We rely and lean on You. Never will we find one as faithful as You.

You are the beginning and the end. You are Alpha and Omega. You are our everlasting God and King.

Teach us to number our days. We fall at Your feet. We are completely at Your disposal. Lead us and guide us to live lives that are pleasing to You. We magnify Your name. We extol Your most high name.

Move Upon Us

We see Your glory.  We taste the honey in the rock.  We bask in Your presence.  We behold Your glory.

Our hearts swell in Your presence.  Your empowering presence makes us whole and strong.  Your ever increasing power is in full display for all to marvel.

The righteous cry out and You hear our cries.  Your love lifts us up daily.  We are anchored in Your undying hope.
  
You open doors and opportunities for our gifts to flourish.  Anoint us this day,  bless us with Your gifts.  We are hungry for a move of God.  Come and abide in us.  Lead us on victoriously.  Move upon our broken lives.

The Journey To The Heart Of God

Lord, take us by the hand. Take us to Your heart. The journey to the heart of God is not for the fainthearted. You are the strength of our hearts.

You give us courage and strength on the journey. You flood our hearts with Your love and presence. You give us unending hope.

We have decided to follow Jesus. We have set our faces like flint. We will persevere to the very end. We soldier on with determination triumphantly.  Our courage will not melt away.

Our eternal God and King is our refuge. He is our ever-present help. Our hearts well up with thanksgiving as we declare the power of His love.

I Love You, Monte!

Today marks the 24th year of our marriage.  I am overwhelmed by the goodness of God.  I am blessed with Monte.  

I enjoy my singlehood but I enjoy my marriage far more than when I was single.  

Two is better than one.  God brings us together and bring about synergy.  Combining our strengths and weaknesses.  Bringing out the best in us as we become one.

Monte loves, supports, encourages and believes in me.  As we journey on, we begin to discover more of each other.  A lifetime is too short to love someone.

God builds marriages.  God blesses us with loving spouses.  We experience the power of God's love and presence.  We taste the goodness of God.

We know the strength of His love.  The height of His love.  The width of His love.  The depth of His love.  Because He first loved us, we love one another.

I love you, Monte!

Seeking God





Monte and I spend a lot of time in the forest.  We enjoy meandering through the heart of some nature reserves.  We pray and seek the Lord as we walk.  We listen to the voice of the Lord in the heart of the forest.

We See Your Glory

We see Your glory.  We hear Your voice.  We feel Your presence.  We taste Your goodness.  

We are blessed.  Blessed To receive and blessed to give.  Your mighty work in us spurs us on to trust You.  Trusting You in every season of our lives.

In joy and sorrow, we bless Your holy name. In hope and despair, we praise Your great name.  In good times and tough times, we lift up holy hands.  

Touch our broken lives. Renew and rebuild us.  Refire and restore us.  We need You more with each passing moment.  We worship You almighty God.

Growing In The Lord

Monte and I moved into Sengkang in August 2001.  We love living in this estate.

I vividly recall the plants that grew in our neighbourhood.  The strong wind and thunderstorm oftentimes make it difficult to keep the young saplings in place.  The authorities would use reinforcements. 

Without the reinforcements, the saplings will never grow into  trees.  Today, all the saplings have grown into young trees.

God nurtures, builds and nourishes us as we grow in Him.  The storms, trials and challenges do not destroy us.  They make us stronger in the Lord.  Our courage will not melt away.  

By the power of God's Spirit we thrive.  We triumph.  We overcome.  God is the one who grants us hope and courage to persevere.  He brings us growth. He brings out the best in us.  

As we journey in the Lord, He empowers us to move in His anointing.  We will not settle for less.  For God wants us to reach our fullest potential in Him.  

From faith to faith.  From glory to glory.  We lean completely on the Lord.  We know no other way except the path that He lays for us.  

We walk by faith and not by sight.  God empowers us with His presence.  He empowers us with His love.  He empowers us with His anointing.

Mum

I came back to Singapore on 12 February 2023. When I visited my mum the next day, she alerted me to a bony lump on her hand.  

We consulted the doctor and X-Ray was taken.  A teleconsultation was arranged at a later date.

On the day of the teleconsultation, mum was so amazed that she could see the doctor via zoom in the comfort of the home.  We are thankful that the bony lump was not of major concern.

I am grateful to the Lord.  My mum was able to alert me to the bony lump on her wrist despite her Alzheimer's disease.  The Lord loves and watches over our loved ones.  We can lean on Him at all times.

We Worship You

We ponder the loving deeds of the Lord.  We ponder the unending mercies of the Lord.  We ponder the loving kindness of the Lord.

Our hearts swell.  Our hearts overflow with Your presence and power.  Your love overpowers us.  Your grace is all sufficient.

Teach us to number our days.  Endow us with Your wisdom and understanding.  Empty us so that You can fill us with Your goodness and grace. 

Sovereign Lord, You have loved us with an everlasting love.  Consume our lives as we lay our lives on the altar.

Empower Us

The power of God is on those who fear Him.  Those who pursue Him relentlessly.  His pours His love and mercy on His beloved.

Lord, we bask in Your love.  We bask in Your presence.  Your presence empowers.  Your presence liberates us.  You presence transforms us.

Come and abide in us.  Shower us with love.  Empower us by the power of Your Spirit.  Touch our broken lives and minister powerfully through each of us.

Miracle Working God




God provides for our every need. He provided the funds for Monte and I to spend almost a month in Asia Pacific Theological Seminary (APTS) in Baguio, Philippines in January - February 2023. The residential stay was a requirement that Monte had to fulfill in his PhD studies in APTS. I am thankful for God's open door for me to be with Monte.

God owns the cattles on a thousand hills. He is our source. He never runs out. We are mindful of His abundance.

When we look to the source of all things, our eyes are drawn to the miraculous provision of almighty God. There is nothing God cannot do.

We lift our eyes and gaze at the vast expanse. God is calling us to trust Him. He is calling us to step into the water. He is calling us to Himself. He is all we ever needed. Our merciful beckons us to follow me to the ends of the earth.

As we step out in obedience, God honours our faith. He empowers us to dream big. He inspires faith in us to believe Him for the miraculous.

Our hearts go out to everyone who have journeyed with us all these years. Many believed in us. Many prayed for us. Many have encouraged and supported us. Thank you for partnering with us. Thank you for sowing into our ministry. Thank you for your active involvement in our lives.

Consume our broken lives

Move in Your power
Move in Your love
Move powerfully through us
We pray


We Want To Hear You

1 Samuel 3:1-9

When God called out to Samuel, he responded immediately.  His ears were attentive to the voice of God.  He was earnestly seeking God.  

Samuel was only around 12 years of age.  No one can limit God, He chooses who He wants.  He can work through grown adults as well as the young.

God is calling out to each one of us today.  He is calling us to Himself.  He is setting us apart.  He is renewing and restoring our broken lives.  He is building a people of  praise and power.

God calls out to us.  He is sensitising our hearts to the promptings of His Spirit.  He is opening our ears to hear the voice of His Spirit.  He is leading us in the power of His Spirit.

We Worship You

This glorious morning, our hearts flow with a good theme.  Our hearts are full because of Your presence in us.

We Worship You.  We proclaim Your lordship.  We come in reverential fear.  We come in holy submission.  We offer our lives as living sacrifices on Your altar.
