Child of God
Isaiah 43:10

"You are my witnesses," declares the LORD,
"and my servant whom I have chosen,
so that you may know and believe me
and understand that I am he.
Before me no god was formed,
nor will there be one after me.



worship is a choice

All of my life, In every season
You are still God
I have a reason to sing
I have a reason to worship

And this is what its all about

Was looking through my blog archives.. Sorta looking back at Yr 1 and the things I encountered.. Quite alot of things.. With wonderful memories too, ups and downs, lessons learnt......seeing God in each one of them.. I saw myself growing too.. Really, feels really great.. You get to see how far you have walked..

Its Thanksgiving now for me.. Seeing God in the past, seeing God in the present, seeing God in the future.. And I will walk on in faith knowing that God will lead, and jotting down my life-stories with every step I take =)


Take some time to watch this video =)

Lol.. "If I didnt believe in the law of gravity, and I jumped off a building, will it change reality?" Aha. I love this part. Cause it doesnt matter if you believe or not.. It jus doesnt change reality..

I love that way of witnessing.. Making contact with your ally in dangerous territory - the conscience of that person..

Ahahaha.. I saw a blog post.. Really true.. Its about Moral Relativist.. I shall copy the whole post:

"Today’s pseudo intellectuals have fortified themselves against Heaven, and one of their seeming strongest arguments is commonly called “moral relativity.” These folks insist that there are no moral absolutes (that there is no divine Law).

Here’s their argument. "What’s good for you may not be good for me, and what’s bad for you may not be bad for me." A true moral relativist can’t even be pinned down as to the morality of Nazi Germany. Ask him if what Hitler did was wrong and he will say, “I would never do something like that myself, but I can’t say it was wrong.” He can’t say that it was "wrong" because to him, nothing is absolutely right, and nothing is absolutely wrong. That has strong divine connotations.

So ask Mr. Relativist if pedophilia is wrong, and he will tell you that if it is against the law, it is simply wrong for that society. His framing of civil law is governed by whether or not people get "hurt," rather than by "right" or by "wrong." His argument will be that pedophilia hurts children. But if someone takes pictures of naked children and posts them on the Internet without their knowledge (so that it’s not hurting them), then it must be morally okay. So press him. Is pedophilia morally wrong? If he says that it’s not, ask for his name and address, because you need to inform his neighbors and the local police that he is okay with pedophilia. If he admits that it’s morally wrong even though a society says that it's right, then so was Hitler wrong, and there are therefore moral absolutes.

Be careful that you don't get mired in pseudo intellectualism. It can be a time-waster, and you and I are told to redeem the time. You will simply win an argument, when what you should be doing is showing him that he needs God's forgiveness.

I really agree.. Many times I wasted alot of time in this area.. Where I tried to "prove myself and win the argument".. But in actual fact, it was not about who will win and all.. Its about that person seeing that he needs God.. (Personal Note.. =P)

The root problem with a moral relativist is that his conscience is seared, and with the help of God, you must awaken it. So, say to him, “Let’s just surmise that there is a Heaven for a moment. Do you think you would be good enough to go there?” He will almost certainly say that he is (see Proverbs 20:6), and so take him through "The Good Test." You are simply moving from the intellect (the place of argument), to the conscience (the place of the knowledge of right and wrong), so that it will do its God-given duty."


LOL.. Then this one will be like in your face.. Then if he still doesnt accept, then really there is nothing you can do but pray.. For his heart is too hardened..

Went to a seafood place for dinner today.. Forgot what is that place called liao.. Mattahan something..its at Plaza Sing. Then eat until very full.. Its quite nice la.. All the stuff.. Lol.. First time there anyway.. Cause church frene's bdae.. After that went friday service after so long.. Went in, they started worship le.. Wow.. Could really feel God dwelling in our midst.. Felt peaceful and the want to just worship him.. Something which I felt have been missing.. So was great lor.. Yea..

(all of my days i will sing your praises)

Finally.. Exams are over!!! I slept at round 3 am today I think.. Then woke up at bout 6 30... -.- Right, talking about sleeping early huh.. Ahaha... Dunno why.. Could not sleep lor.. Keep tossing and turning.. I think was my best record la.. Lol.. Doing that from 11 30 - 3am.. Then my eyes suddenly so itchy also then got so red.. Lol.. But thank God la.. Today was just tired and all, then the paper was smooth....except for some mistakes here and there.. O well.. Leave it to God le..

EXAMS OVER LIAO!!! I WAN GO OUT!!! WHO WANNA GO OUT WITH ME???

After paper was suppose to meet Daniel Ng for lunch.. Waited for almost an hour.. In the end I left and gone home.. Turned out as I was on my way home, he just finished jogging with his frene.. LOL.. Then saw so many of my frenes pass by during the wait.. Could have gone watch movie wif my frene lor.. Then they go off liao........ Wa... But then again, as much as I am unwilling, God still have other plans for me.. He clearly revealed to me that I should go home.. I also dunno why but I just told him that I will just walk in faith lor, despite being unhappy about it..

So went home.. Then on the way home, I met my frene who converted from Buddhism to christianity and backslided and "reconverted" back to Buddhism again.. I asked him some questions and found some interesting things..

Q: How come you don't want be a Christian le?
A: Cause not fun....
Q: So when you choose your religion, you see if it is fun or not?
A: Errrrrrrrrr....
Q: So why you want to convert back to Buddhism?
A: I dunno also, but if I need choose I prefer to choose Christianity, cause more fun.
Q: So when you choose your religion, you see if it is fun or not? Am I right to say that?
A: *stun*

In the end I gave him a Satisfied booklet cause I reach my stop le.. Now thinking of it, was wondering if it was better to meet up with him just now for a while to actually go through that booklet.. Ahhhhh.. Nvm la.. Its over le.. We will leave the growth to God yep..

Was thinking of some questions after that.. How do you choose your religion? How do you choose what you believe in? Isit because of some truth? Fun? Suit you or not? Cause alot of people believe in it?

For me, I believe in what I believe in.. And I have faith in that.. And I can testify to that I believe in a real and living God.. Its not just some God who people pray for blessings and then go on with your daily lives.. He is so real that I do not just "believe" that he exists.. I have a relationship with him.. I know him personally..

And I believe what is said in Ecclesiastes 12:14, "For God will bring every act to judgment, everything which is hidden, whether it is good or evil."

And I believe that day is approaching.. And now is the time to repent, to give your life to God.. If you still have not.. For God loved us so much that he gave his only son Jesus Christ to die for our sins and to save us being eternally separated from him..

Was quite tired today.. And I seem to have caught a flu virus.. Keep sneezing.. Crap.. Gonna slp early today.. Tomorrow still got paper at 9.. -.- AEL.. Just praying by faith that I will survive.. LOLs..

Anyway was reminded today that I have been living life, going through the things of God with my own strength, failing to rely on his grace and mercy.. Cause watched a sermon video during fellowship.. Was talking about faith.. About how man will fail if we fail to see God, when we get distracted by the things around us.. Just like Peter when Jesus asked him to come to him (when walking on the sea).. When Peter was walking, his eyes was on Jesus at first.. However, when he got distracted by the waves and the wind, he lost faith.. His focus went to the environment instead of Jesus, and he even forgot what Jesus told him in the first place, Jesus said "Come!".. Hence he began to sink..

Well, man is weak, so the same thing will happen to us.. When God call us to do things.. We always allow our environment to distract us and hence we loose faith.. We even forgot what God said to us in the first place, "And I will be with you, till the end of the age.".. We began to loose faith.. And fail.. That's why, we need to really pray for the Holy Spirit to guide us...

Yup.. I think that was what God wanted to teach me, for the preparation of the heart in Gen12.. Expect the Unexpected and leave everything to him..

My support raising is almost done.. 88 dollars more.. Ahaha.. And I still got quite a few ppl who havent give me their money yet.. So, there will be extras I am sure for our team to spend.. =) I didnt do much actually.. I just told God simply by faith that if he wants me to go, he will make sure I raise enough money.. Simply by that, God have shown himself faithful once again.. Thank you Lord =)

Ok.. Think I shall stop le.. Still gotta revise my work.. Keep me in prayer for my health yep..
Thanks =p

Thank you Lord..

You reminded me the message of the cross (John 3:16)..
You reminded me your grace (Romans 5:20-21)..
You reminded me how I obtained strength from your grace (2 Corinthians 2:19)..
How I have leaved everything to you (Proverbs 3:5)..
How I have felt so free (John 8:32)..
Reminding me that I am saved by grace through faith (Ephesians 2:8-9)..
And that I can shout and sing your praise below the skies (Psalm 47)..

Indeed, I have forgotten all this things as the time went by.. My focus have moved from God and slowly to the World.. How can I serve God like that? It then caused me to think and worry unnecessary.. But now to think of it, all this are actually unnecessary thoughts.. What's important is to remmber that I am a Child of the most high God.. And no one can take this position away from me..

John 8:32 - And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.

As I was listening to the christian songs in my laptop, this song struck me.. Couldnt find the audio file.. Shall put the lyrics down.. If you know the song then can sing along in your heart.. =)



Delirious - Message Of The Cross

This is the message of the cross, that we can be free,
To live in the victory, and turn from our sin,
My precious Lord Jesus, with sinners you died,
For there you revealed your love and you laid down your life.

This is the message of the cross, that we can be free,
To lay all our burdens here, at the foot of the tree,
The cross was the shame of the world,but the glory of God,
For Jesus you conquered sin and you gave us new life!

You set me free when I came to the cross,
Poured out your blood for I was broken and lost,
There I was healed and you covered my sin,
It's there you saved me, this is the message of the cross.

This is the message of the cross, that we can be free,
To hunger for heaven, to hunger for Thee,
"The cross is such foolishness to the perishing,
But to us who are being saved, it is the power of God!"

You set us free when we come to the cross,
You pour out your blood for we are broken and lost.
Here we are healed and you cover our sin,
It's here you save us,

You set me free when I come to the cross,
Pour out your blood for I am broken and lost
Here I am healed and you cover my sin,
It's here you save me, this is the message of the cross.

Let us rejoice at the foot of the cross,
We can be free, glory to God. (repeat)

Thank you Lord, thank you Lord,
You've set us free, glory to God. (repeat)

Happy Valentine's Day to all.. Though poly ppl muz study for exams, but hope those who wanted surprises got their surprises? Ahaha...

Went to library today to study with Hwee Fang.. What I did was just summarise what I need to take note of when I go exam and go through the eg2 textbook lor.. The day before exam I believe should not be spend on doing questions.. But rather on going through the work which you done in the past.. AEL on mon, dont think I will hav much time to study during the weekend.. So, take things as it comes lor.. Ahaha..

Had Lunch at the food court at TP interchange.. Appearantly I think Hwee Fang scared away that old man who seated at our table.. LOLs...

Btw, she said something very interesting today: "Study or don't study we still go heaven, so why study so hard for what?"

My reply: True, but then again people will say, if don't study now, you cant do anything. True too.. That's why what is required is to get into a close relationship wif God and having the full trust in him.. Because he knows the will of your life.. So if you chiong until you tired, dan get so worried and unhappy.. What's the point.. Why make the journey so bad?

Stress is man-made.. It is when you see the mess around you and want to clear it up using your own strength rather then focusing on God, the source of your strength and peace..



Learnt or should I say revised something today which I left it at the back of my mind:

1) If God is not feared, he will not come to reveal himself, he looks at the motive of our heart.

psalm 25:14
The secret of the LORD is with them that fear Him, and He will show them His covenant.

2) God is holy, and therefore ought to be feared.. That is the first key to beginning an intimate relationship with him.. When we approach a Holy God as thoough he very common, this is actually a sin.. And we often fall into this pit of becoming too familiar with his presence that we tend to 'skip the formality' when we approach him!!

leviticus 10:3 'Among those who approach me, I will show myself holy; in the sight of all the people, I will be honored.'

3) Many times we always say we love God and yet still keep on sinning. In truth, it is actually the fear of God that keeps us from sinning.

4) From point 3&4, we can actually see that the root of sin is actually the lack of fear of God. Not because we do something which causes us to fall into sin.. But because we lack the fear of God and hence go against him..

2 corinthians 7:1
Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

Cheers, all the best for exams people..

The last book of the left behind series!!! Ahahaha.. Anyways, as I was reading the book, thoughts suddenly came flooding into my mind.. Shall name on one of them.

The thought of casting a lot which decides of your future.. Not just a future which can be like heal through time in a sense, but a future with a permanent effect.. Sacry isnt it.. What if you choose wrongly.. That's the result of seating on the fence..
Anyway Spongebob studied until v sian until she left the lib earlier instead of the targeted 8pm.. Ahahahah.. Then went to have some shushi.. Lol.. Though its cold.. But hey, we didnt freeze till we go heaven eh.. =)

2 His children will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed.
3 Wealth and riches are in his house, and his righteousness endures forever.
4 Even in darkness light dawns for the upright, for the gracious and compassionate and righteous man.
5 Good will come to him who is generous and lends freely, who conducts his affairs with justice.
6 Surely he will never be shaken; a righteous man will be remembered forever.
7 He will have no fear of bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.
8 His heart is secure, he will have no fear; in the end he will look in triumph on his foes.
9 He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor, his righteousness endures forever; his horn will be lifted high in honor.
10 The wicked man will see and be vexed, he will gnash his teeth and waste away; the longings of the wicked will come to nothing.

Really, the ones who fears the Lord will be blessed richly..

(Verse 2, 3) - Wealth and riches are always in his house.. Btw, the wealth and riches does not mean money yep. Can mean things like good health and all..

(Verse 4) - Even when the things around him is dark, there will always be light, always be hope. For his trust in the Lord and loves his law.. His hope and foundation will be built on the Lord.. And he will succeed in all he does because his foundation is on the rocks. (Verse 5, 6 - 8)

(Verse 5, 9) - He will be rich for he gives and lends freely.. Therefore, you are rich when you give - not when you posses alot of wealth..

And thank God, my Gen12 support rasing is about 50% done.. God's grace that this can happen.. Gonna continue to trust in him and see him work..

When man works, man works.. When man prays, God works.. =)

(all of my days i will sing your praises)

Today I am gonna talk about being lukewarm. You might wonder why I wanna talk about it suddenly, actually I wonder about it too myself. But I felt like God wanted me to talk about it and hopefully impact you all.. Leave it to God yea.. Btw, I got my reference from the book "Drawing Near" by John Bevere.



Proverbs 27:7 says,
He who is full loathes honey, but to the hungry even what is bitter tastes sweet.

If your soul is filled with cares, pleasures, the love of riches, or the desires of the world, good results, a good career etc. You will actually be full and despise the sweet honeycomb of God's fellowship.

Consider this analogy, in a feast, you eat and eat until you are full. However when a bigger and much better feast comes your way rite after the previous feast, you might just nibble a little or even ignore that feast completely.

Therefore, the degree you are filled with the things of life determines your response to the calling of God. Though most do not despise God's presence, but compraed with a hungry man, they are just casual towards him. Having a lack of passion towards God, being full with the world, being what the bible calls lukewarm.

Read revelation 3:17
You say, 'I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.' But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked.

The issue of the Laodicea church was not about material things, but rather, they allowed material things to satisfy their souls. This in turn hindered the passion withing them for God's presence and fellowship.

Their souls are weighed down with the cares and pleasures of life. The things of God were part of their life, but not their passion.

Therefore, hunger is the key element to whether or not we pursue intimacy with God - The hunger for God.

**MAIN CAUSE OF BECOMING LUKEWARM**

Being too busy

If we allow ourselves to be too caught up with the world, we will end up treating God casusally le. Believe me, it happens. I have seen people who are busy with exams, overly worried over things, unable to trust God but rather putting God aside and resort to do things using their own strength though they say they are willing to trust God and all.. People who rather follow the world then follow God. And I confess that I am guilty of it too at times. The end result is being unable to spend quality time with God and slowly backslides until they have to "force" themselves to get back on track. Why do I use the word force?

If we go without physical food for too long, our stomach will complain and get louder and louder and with more pain as time progresses. Yet our spirit does not scream like this. Rather, our voice of our inner man gets quieter as time goes by and it becomes harder to hear it. And flesh becomes more dominant over our spirit.
We loose our appetite when we don't eat over an extended period of time. If we go without food for 5 days, the physical scream of hunger goes quiet. Food loses its attraction and slowly our appetite will be gone and not return. The only way to get back our appetite back will be to make ourselves eat.

The same for our spiritual life actually. If we allow a busy lifestyle to replace our time with God, the same thing happens. First, our interest in the Scriptures goes down and then our desire to pray wanes. Even when we pray or read the bible occasionally, we will not sense life flowing into us like it did in the pass when we consistently feed our spiritual life with God's word. To get back our spiritual appetite, we will need to hence force ourselves to read the bible, repent of our laziness and with anticipation seek God. And he will be faithful and just and speak to us once again.

*********************************

When we are lukewarm, we will end up backsliding.

Backsliding does not start when u fall into sin or discover you want to revert to your sinful nature. But rather, when we beomces more excited about the natural things than the things of God. Finding ourselves indifferent to the Scriptures and the things of God.

A sign of checking spiritual health to see if its healthy or not is to see your appetite for God's word. There are christians in this world who find it more exciting to talk about their lifestyle, their possessions, the newest fashion in town and all compared to talking about the things of God. To tell you the truth, I feel sad for them really.

Proverbs 4:23 says,
Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.

We hence need to regonise the spirit of the world that is tat enmity with the spirit of God. We are usually careless as we walk through life failing to guard our hearts from the lusts and desires that steal our hunger from the only one who truely sastisfies.



I hope to bring our a personal warning too.

Revelation 3:16 says,
So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth.

There will be judgement faced for being lukewarm. So when you realised that you are neither hot nor cold, repent and allow the love of God to fill you with burning passion once again.

Follow the promise of 1 John 1:9,
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

Amen.

"My son, why do you seek to sastisfy in the things that do not sastisfy?"

That was a question God posed to me earlier back then..

I was feeling empty again, wanting to sastisfy myself, through the things around me, msn, tv, animes.. And everything failed to sastisfy me.. That was when I realised that I was actually looking at the wrong place rite from the start.. Nothing can sastisfy me fully apart from the love of God.. And even when I realised this, I still failed to act this out....sadly...

Apparently, today's QT became a answer between me and God.

Psalm 139:23-24
Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.
See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

God will only see our hearts, our sincereity.. And he wants us to be honest, to tell the truth to him, he can see our every weakness, our true self, how dirty we can be.. So why are we hiding? Why am I hiding? Why am I not going to God?

Father Lord, forgive me for not putting you first, for rejecting you.. Forgive me for I am a sinner, its so easy for me to move out of your grace and rely on my own strength.. Lord you know my all, you know my secrets, you know how dirty I can be and all the sins I have commited.. Have mercy on me Lord a sinner..

Search me O God, and lead me in the way everlasting...

My sis went to my cousin's place and stay till tomorrow nite.. Feels strange suddenly.. I mean I always like the peace and quiet when my sis is not around.. But today is different.. Though I hate to admit but....eh I dont lik it at all.. Aha.. O well....

Goodness.. I was lik WHAT???!!!!!! when I watch this video.. Read this and decide for yourself.. Really didnt imagine the preaching of the “prosperity gospel” could go this far..

Indeed just like what Matthew 7:22 & 23 says,

Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'

Also during the end times, many false prophets will arise and we will only recognize them by their fruits.. As said earlier at verse 15 & 16 : Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them.

But then again, lets not pass quick judgements on the people around us yep.. Whether or not they truely belong to God, its not for us to decide, but God..

I read numbers before going school today.. Read chpater 13-16.

Wa.. Really, just at this few chapters, saw quite a number of Israel's rebellion le.. And God have to call them a bunch of 'stiff neck' people who refuse to believe in him.. As I was reading, I was horrified really.. By their dis-respect and hardened hearts towards God and also their complete lack of fear.. And how time after time they deserted God and chased after Idols..

Jeremiah 2:11
Hath a nation changed their gods, which are yet no gods? but my people have changed their glory for that which doth not profit.

Haiz.. As I was reflecting, I realised that at times, I am like that too.. Where my neck becomes stiff and refuse to turn towards God.. Really, it made me got on my knees to pray for forgiveness and mercy...................

Went home today.. Slp a while dan suddenly, I feel that feeling again.. That feeling which like, erm want do something but dunno.. Then chasing after the wind to do random things which dont satisfy.. Ahaha.. Funny..

And the best thing is he waits until I say everything out dan he give that sentence.. Ok la.. Quite good also.. Like wait for me to say finish dan talk.. Hehe..

Was at Gen12 meeting.. And we finally got our team verse.. =)

Romans 12:10-12
Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.

Yea.. Think this 3 verse alone says alot of things.. Ahaha.. Hehe.. Many things ahead.. Trusting God for each one of it..

Our Father's Love Letter..

2 Questions:
1) Lets say if u die tonight, are you sure you will go to heaven?
2) If you die and you stood before God today, and then he ask you why should I let you enter heaven? What will your answer be?

Heaven is a free gift that cannot be earned.
The gift of God is eternal life with Christ Jesus our Lord
If you want to do something for it in return for that gift, then its not a free gift le. It can only be accepted or rejected. For we are saved by grace alone, not by works so that no one can boast.

For man is a sinner, man cannot save himself.

Service today is quite interesting.. On Genesis 9:18-29
Go read yourself.. Hehehe ^^

Man is not perfect.
The bible shows that through the various people in the bible.. All of them were weak before and fell.. At the beginning of chapter 9 God was blessing Noah, but at the bottom half of chapter 9, it talked about how Noah fell, by getting drunk.
Then the youngest son Ham saw Noah naked and still told his brothers about it instead of covering his dad up..

When we see someone doing wrong, what do we do? Do we go around telling ppl like Ham? That This will show us our character..

Also think about it.. We oftehn ask where is God only when we are happy but not when we are happy.

Where is God when you are hurt?
Where is God when they are hurt?
God is in your heart. He is always there.
Then where will you be when they are hurt?

Finally got back home from outside.. Lol.. Hmmmm.. Today went visit my grandma.. Saw my auntie.. That time she prayed to receive Christ.. But I wanted to find out something which I have been thinking.. I asked her, "Why did you pray to receive Christ?". She said she dunno. Then I asked her, "Have you ever prayed before?". She said she dunno how to pray.. Hmmm.. Was thinking of how to help her.. Cause I dunno how help also.. Like you know seldom meet her and all.. Yea..
But the bottom line is still......can she be saved.. People might say well she prayed to receive Christ and all.. But well, if one receive Christ and yet still lived life e same as in the past, what difference is there from receiving and not receviving life? Both will still not be saved.. Yep.. For James also said that Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.

So ya lor.. Hmmm..

Saw this article in Weekedn Today today about Singapore wanting to be part of the New World Order.. Where it will be one dominated by a few elite mega-cities rather than by nations..

I was just reminded of Revelation 13:1,2
And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. He had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on his horns, and on each head a blasphemous name. 2The beast I saw resembled a leopard, but had feet like those of a bear and a mouth like that of a lion. The dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority.

Really like can see the things unfolding.......becoming a real world reality..

(all of my days i will sing your praises)

Was reading The Fear Of the Lord, suddenly wanted to pause for a while and read the book of Malachi.. Wow.. Got many things from there... Want to share with you all.. Ahaha..



1) People who do not give their offerings to God from their hearts. - Giving the right sacrifices to God.

Malachi 1:6
"A son honors his father, and a servant his master. If I am a father, where is the honor due me? If I am a master, where is the respect due me?" says the LORD Almighty.

Malachi 1:12-14
"But you profane it by saying of the Lord's table, 'It is defiled,' and of its food, 'It is contemptible.' And you say, 'What a burden!' and you sniff at it contemptuously," says the LORD Almighty. "When you bring injured, crippled or diseased animals and offer them as sacrifices, should I accept them from your hands?" says the LORD. "Cursed is the cheat who has an acceptable male in his flock and vows to give it, but then sacrifices a blemished animal to the Lord. For I am a great king," says the LORD Almighty, "and my name is to be feared among the nations.

2) 1 Peter 2:9 - But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.

Malachi 2:5-7
"My covenant was with him, a covenant of life and peace, and I gave them to him; this called for reverence and he revered me and stood in awe of my name. True instruction was in his mouth and nothing false as found on his lips. He walke with me in peace and uprightness, and turned many from sin.

"For the lips of a priest ought to preserve knowledge, and from his mouth men should seek instruction—because he is the messenger of the LORD Almighty.

3)Adultery

Malachi 2:11-16
Judah has broken faith. A detestable thing has been committed in Israel and in Jerusalem: Judah has desecrated the sanctuary the LORD loves, by marrying the daughter of a foreign god. As for the man who does this, whoever he may be, may the LORD cut him off from the tents of Jacob — even though he brings offerings to the LORD Almighty.

Another thing you do: You flood the LORD's altar with tears. You weep and wail because he no longer pays attention to your offerings or accepts them with pleasure from your hands. You ask, "Why?" It is because the LORD is acting as the witness between you and the wife of your youth, because you have broken faith with her, though she is your partner, the wife of your marriage covenant.

Has not the LORD made them one? In flesh and spirit they are his. And why one? Because he was seeking godly offspring. So guard yourself in your spirit, and do not break faith with the wife of your youth.

"I hate divorce," says the LORD God of Israel, "and I hate a man's covering himself with violence as well as with his garment," says the LORD Almighty.

So guard yourself in your spirit, and do not break faith.

4) The Day the Lord returns - Judgement and Blessings
Refining those who belongs to him and destroying those who dont belong to him - including those who serve not in their hearts.


Malachi 3:2-5
But who can endure the day of his coming? Who can stand when he appears? For he will be like a refiner's fire or a launderer's soap. He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver; he will purify the Levites and refine them like gold and silver. Then the LORD will have men who will bring offerings in righteousness, and the offerings of Judah and Jerusalem will be acceptable to the LORD, as in days gone by, as in former years.

"So I will come near to you for judgment. I will be quick to testify against sorcerers, adulterers and perjurers, against those who defraud laborers of their wages, who oppress the widows and the fatherless, and deprive aliens of justice, but do not fear me," says the LORD Almighty.

Malachi 3:16-18
Then those who feared the LORD talked with each other, and the LORD listened and heard. A scroll of remembrance was written in his presence concerning those who feared the LORD and honored his name.

"They will be mine," says the LORD Almighty, "in the day when I make up my treasured possession. I will spare them, just as in compassion a man spares his son who serves him. And you will again see the distinction between the righteous and the wicked, between those who serve God and those who do not.

Yup.. So that was what I was taught.. Thank you God =)

Food for thought.

A person who fears God knows that our hearts must be firmly established in the fact that God is good and is not a child-abuser. This is God's character. This person will also realise that any immediate or impending difficulty encountered at God's hand will ultimately bring forth good in the end.

Most will of course mentally agree with this.........

But........

Only in times of hardship where we see what we truely believe. Only then will we see our faith for what it is by the light and fire of the trials.
