Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere..

Having finished my prayer tower slot at midnight but the next team didn't come. Was frustrated as it had been a long day and I hoped to go back to rest. Wife was with me as well and I really hoped that she could get back to rest too. 

So we stayed on to carry on with the prayer tower. And as I looked at the empty room and the lampstand which represented the presence of God, I sensed the presence of God there in the room. As I continued in prayer for SP, I was surprised that I didn't feel frustrated. Would I rather be resting on bed or be here in God's presence. Perhaps this is what it means that better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere... And in His presence everything will be alright and our hearts can be at rest in Him. 

Ps. We left prayer tower at around 1:15am after one sister from the other team rushed down to take over the prayer cover. 

Passing through the wilderness

Living Life Devotion today

To realise that life is like passing through the wilderness. There is nothing in the wilderness that can sustain life, and we live because of God's provisions, just like the Israelites journey. And He will carry us through.

In the wilderness, we realise God is all we need because God is all we have.

Daniel and the marketplace

Heard this shared at mid week prayer point. Sharing from Daniel 1 about living for God at work. 

Personal purity in honouring God - Daniel 1:8

Learning, skill and wisdom from God for the marketplace - Daniel 1:17 

Prosperity gospel

One of my cell members posted an article on Facebook regarding the prosperity gospel and it also contained the following link

It's a question that I ask myself as well. Am I looking to be satisfied by the things of life or am I satisfied by God himself? You don't need to be in Joel Osteen's church to believe and live according to the prosperity gospel.

Somewhere in the lie is a truth that was twisted. God is for joy, peace, love and may I even say the word prosperity, even though this word is so loaded now. But to make these the end sum of it all is a tragic fatal mistake.

God so loved us and gave His Son that we might have eternal life. And what is eternal life?  John 17:3. Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.

In God is everything that we need and our hearts deepest desires are fulfilled. And God is not an object that we possess and utilise. That's just the same self centred fulfilment. It is not the possession of God but the intimate relationship with God that is the greatest treasure. It's directed away from self to love of another,  of God.  And that's how we were meant to live. 

Sometimes,  I make the mistake to think that this world will go on forever. It will not. And material wealth or lack thereof in this life is not the final word. God is still moving history to a finale and this age will be closed.

Let's live a part of heaven now through an intimate walk with God today. Eternal life starts today. This is indeed a message that can be preached from Miami to Mosul.

You are Mine

Am I your Lord?

Yes,  You are, You are, You are...

Then you are Mine and My power will transform you.

God knows me

God you know me better than I know myself.. Sometimes, I don't even understand my own thoughts, feelings and responses. But you do. You have been with me all the way, even before I was born, to every moment of my life.. When I'm awake or asleep, in my routines and accidents, in my victories and defeats, you have always been with me..  What I comforting thought! My sure friend and comforter, my Lord and fortress! May I walk my days with gladness :)
