Food!

By -

Alright, food is always my passion. Haha, even though I don’t really mind what I’m eating, but I like the satisfactory I get when I’m full, and also the sleepy, dizzy mode you have after you eat. (I’ll run towards it whenever there’s free food!)

We all need food. Bread, rice, malt, barley or whatever form or taste or state it exists. It provides us energy to continue our daily life and to keep our body running. That’s physical food.

We exists also in spirit, therefore we need spiritual food.

Deuteronomy 8:3

He humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna, which neither you nor your fathers had known, to teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD.

And where do we find these spiritual food? Of course, the Word of God, the Holy Bible.

But how come when we always crave for KFC, McDonalds, Secret Recipe and all, some of us (including me) feels reluctant to take spiritual food regularly? Because it’s like vegetable to some of us, it’s good but it taste bad? So you look for something better, like drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, poker cards and all to fill up your spiritual needs? Even filling up your time with studying, working, sleeping so you won’t feel hungry in spirit? Exactly, but it does not stop your hunger! You crave for more, more and more, and in the end you become greedy, because you do not ask Him.

John 4:13-14
Jesus answered, "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life."

I’m not taking spiritual food regularly, I admit. I’ve been occupying my time with Facebook, friends and school. But yet when I feel hungry, I crave for things like, girlfriend. And now I realise, I need spiritual food the most. I desire because I’m hungry!

We are all meant to worship Him. From the very beginning, our purpose in life is suppose to worship Him and have a relationship with Him. We are all blessed with different abilities, some can sing well, some can dance, some can play guitar, some have wisdom, some have intelligence, some have strength, some have agility. These abilities we given so we humans can worship Him together. But we misused our ability given by God to worship money, power and desire. Is that right?!

Our life is not meant to study, work and pleasure. Remember what Pastor Yew said in Chapel today:" The greatest tragedy in life, is to be successful in the wrong thing." The greatest success is to put God first, worship Him and have a relationship with Him.

So what when you have the whole world but I’m laughing at you in Heaven while you’ll end up in Hell? You can’t buy eternal life with money.

Matthew 19:23

Then Jesus said to his disciples, "I tell you the truth, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.

Therefore, even as you’re worried about your exam results, worry about what’s coming upon you after death. All your exam results will not matter after this life.

Matthew 6:33

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

Seek first His kingdom, and the rest will fall in places. I can prove that to ya!

Psalm 53:1
The fool says in his heart, "There is no God."

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 5. Project Kwam Wang - Sabaidee, Laos! I don't think I can ever say this enough: Laos is an unforgettable nation, mainly because of the unforgettable journey that God had taken me through. The initial idea was to paint a school building in Vientiane, but imagine our shock when the team saw a building with 2-walled rooms. Instead of complaining, the team quickly came together to lay bricks and cement. 5 days later, we have classrooms with 4 walls and whole school of happy children. The highlight of the trip came later. To catch our flight in Lua Prabang, we took a 6-hour bus ride into Vang Vien, a magical, spectacular heaven-on-earth. The 2-hour tubing experience to enjoy the peace and scenic view of Vang Vien mountain range, the lovely morning breakfast with a morning sunshine and green mountains. It was a great time of serenity and reflection. Then another 6 hours of bus ride across the mountain into Lua Prabang. Tasted on

Stand for Judas

By -
You know, there was once my sister told me when I tell her the story of "The Last Supper":"Yer! Why Judas Iscariot so bad one? Betray Jesus ( with a kiss )!" I did not answer her question, I did not know how. I got the answer lately, the thinking somehow struck my mind. Some people might say Judas is bad , taken over by devil. But I think he is quite a brave man actually. If he did not sell Jesus out, Jesus could not carry out His Father's plan. He was actually carrying out his mission that God gave him. And yet, after accomplishing his mission, he hung himself. Think about it, will you kill yourself after accomplishing a mission or successfully completed an important job? Well, even if I throw a knife to you and ask you to cut yourself would need huge courage ( Mrs. Ramani did this experiment before and I had seen it myself, even I would not cut myself ), prove me wrong! Not to say to praise him for selling the Son of Man out, but he deserves our little re

Heavenly Disconnected

By -
We were all happily chit-chatting (or yelling) at grandma’s house. My second aunt suggested that we go to one of her cousin’s house to visit them but unfortunately the cousin wasn’t at home so we had to cancel it. Then I suggested to visit my youngest aunt’s house with the urge to play some mahjong. My intention was to play only, I did not intend to involve money. We drove there in 3 separate cars with me fetching my sister only. As we reached there we got everything ready, the mahjong table, chairs and of course, the mahjong. I couldn’t wait for my elder cousin to come and join me for a 3-Players Cantonese Mahjong. Just to make it fun, I (while being a Christian) suggested to involve money. This is where the problem starts. I feel pride arise. Holy Spirit was prompting me not to play with money, in fact, the mahjong at all. But I ignored it on purpose but seek selfish desire for pleasure and greed. I won around RM10 with starting fund RM13. But I also get the sense of guilt.
