Just like how in the book of Nehemiah, all the young and old irregardless of the rich and poor came together to build the city/walls of Jerusalem let us also, each doing our part and together with one accord just liek the apostles, continue build God’s house and serve Him in all our days and our children in the generations to come..!

I’m glad in God, far happier than you would ever guess—happy that you’re again showing such strong concern for me. Not that you ever quit praying and thinking about me. You just had no chance to show it. Actually, I don’t have a sense of needing anything personally. I’ve learned by now to be quite content whatever my circumstances. I’m just as happy with little as with much, with much as with little. I’ve found the recipe for being happy whether full or hungry, hands full or hands empty. Whatever I have, wherever I am, I can make it through anything in the One who makes me who I am. I don’t mean that your help didn’t mean a lot to me—it did. It was a beautiful thing that you came alongside me in my troubles.-Philippians 4:10-14 (The Message Bible)
The Radiant Face of Moses
29 When Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of the Testimony in his hands, he was not aware that his face was radiant because he had spoken with the LORD. 30 When Aaron and all the Israelites saw Moses, his face was radiant, and they were afraid to come near him. 31 But Moses called to them; so Aaron and all the leaders of the community came back to him, and he spoke to them. 32 Afterward all the Israelites came near him, and he gave them all the commands the LORD had given him on Mount Sinai.
33 When Moses finished speaking to them, he put a veil over his face. 34 But whenever he entered the LORD’s presence to speak with him, he removed the veil until he came out. And when he came out and told the Israelites what he had been commanded, 35 they saw that his face was radiant. Then Moses would put the veil back over his face until he went in to speak with the LORD.

Hmmm. It’s really been a long long time since i last blog and really wrote something about my life. anyway the recent weeks has been really great as i really learn and take in so much more as i hear all the various preachers preaching every week in my life. What can i say? Life may be hard going at times but just like what Job said in the bible, even if i get struck down i am not gonna curse the name of God in my life.. Haha! ;)
Recently i have really been reading and meditating on Exodus and the also the book of the Ephesians. Hmmm. It’s really so intringing and amazing how God actually worked and reveled Himself in there. He also revealed his character and might to save in the whole book of Exodus. It is like how easy was it for Him to go about doing certain things, like plauging the land and blessing His people. But at the end of the day you can really see how this man Moses really learnt to build His whole source of strength and sercuirty on God. Despite the tongues and views of all man, yet he still chose to stay faithful to God and cling onto almost every single word that God will say to Him. He is like the amplified version of how God did not gave us a spirit of fear but power, love and a sound mind. yet in the midst of the murmerings of the children of Isreal (COI) he can only hear out what was in God’s heart.
Just like what the bible said, the children of Isreal could have long enter the land filling with milk and honey in the early days when God said in Exodus 32 how He will send an angel and let them enter the land but Moses chose to stick not to his own comfort nor his own converniece but knew what was the will of God for him in his life and how he had to go through the testings and trails of his faith towards the Lord. He knew in his heart “God if you do not go with us and even if we really did inherit our land what difference will we be as compared to the other nations?” Therefore he knew that if only God was with Him then who can go against him? He knew what it means by total surrender and faith in God, for all things that he may have needed and seeked. ;)
So let’s really begin to do like waht reverend Casey Treat say, let’s begin to build up our core spiritual muscles in and on God such that the day when the Lord came back we can show Him the talents that He has placed in our hands and how have we used them to grow and multiply for His glory sake. Let’s continue to pray that we can see taste touch and encounter God “face to face” just like how Moses did?
1 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Leave this place, you and the people you brought up out of Egypt, and go up to the land I promised on oath to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, saying, ‘I will give it to your descendants.’ 2 I will send an angel before you and drive out the Canaanites, Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites. 3 Go up to the land flowing with milk and honey. But I will not go with you, because you are a stiff-necked people and I might destroy you on the way.”
4 When the people heard these distressing words, they began to mourn and no one put on any ornaments. 5 For the LORD had said to Moses, “Tell the Israelites, ‘You are a stiff-necked people. If I were to go with you even for a moment, I might destroy you. Now take off your ornaments and I will decide what to do with you.’ ” 6 So the Israelites stripped off their ornaments at Mount Horeb.
7 Now Moses used to take a tent and pitch it outside the camp some distance away, calling it the “tent of meeting.” Anyone inquiring of the LORD would go to the tent of meeting outside the camp. 8 And whenever Moses went out to the tent, all the people rose and stood at the entrances to their tents, watching Moses until he entered the tent. 9 As Moses went into the tent, the pillar of cloud would come down and stay at the entrance, while the LORD spoke with Moses. 10 Whenever the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the entrance to the tent, they all stood and worshiped, each at the entrance to his tent. 11 The LORD would speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks with his friend. Then Moses would return to the camp, but his young aide Joshua son of Nun did not leave the tent.
12 Moses said to the LORD, “You have been telling me, ‘Lead these people,’ but you have not let me know whom you will send with me. You have said, ‘I know you by name and you have found favor with me.’ 13 If you are pleased with me, teach me your ways so I may know you and continue to find favor with you. Remember that this nation is your people.”
14 The LORD replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”
15 Then Moses said to him, “If your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here. 16 How will anyone know that you are pleased with me and with your people unless you go with us? What else will distinguish me and your people from all the other people on the face of the earth?”
17And the LORD said to Moses, “I will do the very thing you have asked, because I am pleased with you and I know you by name.”
18 Then Moses said, “Now show me your glory.”
19 And the LORD said, “I will cause all my goodness to pass in front of you, and I will proclaim my name, the LORD, in your presence. I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. 20 But,” he said, “you cannot see my face, for no one may see me and live.”
21 Then the LORD said, “There is a place near me where you may stand on a rock. 22 When my glory passes by, I will put you in a cleft in the rock and cover you with my hand until I have passed by. 23 Then I will remove my hand and you will see my back; but my face must not be seen.”

A Psalm of David.
1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters.3 He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake. 4Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over.6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell[a] in the house of the LORD Forever.](http://18.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kt9dmo3z9W1qa1yjko1_500.jpg)

For You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;

i have found my hope, i have found my purpose. in this sanctuary set on your great love.. :)
my life is your song, to you my heart belongs, let all earthly crown, fade in the shadow of the cross.. my lif is your song, i’ll sing foryou alone, nothing in this world can take me away from you Our love goes on and on..
recently lots of things have been happening in my life and i am just in awe of how the Lord has been so good andhow he has been using me despite all my failings. was reading the beattitudes just yesterday and notice how Jesus actually discipled his closest “climbing companions”. firstly from the first 6 verses he began to deal with the issues of their heart stating how it is that the pure will see the Lord and how the meek shall inherit the land. it is the same when we come to the Lord. only when the issues of hearts have been dealt with then we can become that salt that flavours and that light that shines. it is that, which will be our firm foundation strong in Him. :)
Then He begin to give us His kingdom keys and we begin to be changed by His power and mercy then sooner than we expect we will be liiving our destinies so free.. and thats why He then begin to speak about being a salt that flavours and a light that shines in the 2nd part of matthw 5.
in the recent weeks i had the chance to begin to lead praise in front of the zone and it has certainly been an awesome chance and reall an honor for the Lord. this has always been what i wanted to do from the very first times that i came to city harvest church.it is really in this house that we will be given His kingdom keys and we will be so filled with His love and mercy.. :) really thank God for His goodness and His grace over my life and i know that His more than enough for me..
for yet when we were faithless, He is always faithful. thank you for loving me first, Jesus! :)
