Exhortation for the new year !


Year 2020 is about to end, and in just a few more days we enter into a new year of 2021. Year 2020 in general has been a challenging year for many. We faced a worldwide Pandemic crisis called Covid 19, it affected many nations and people. Economies were affected as people were losing jobs and businesses were being closed down. Nations were in locked down, people had nowhere to go, those who still had jobs had to work from home, apart from those who are in essential services. Places of worship were closed, people of various faith could not celebrate their religious festivals like in the past. Many of us Christians could not return to church to celebrate Good Friday, and most of us have to turn to attending online services, which is not quite like the real thing. It is a real bummer not to be able to be in a physical church to have fellowship with your fellow brother and sisters. All meetings have turned to using online platform such as zoom or Goggle meet.

Places of entertainments were all closed, airports were shut, travel industries were in trouble, eateries and restaurants couldn’t operate as normal but we suddenly see a new type of industries that surged and was at its peak and that is the demand of food delivery.
The world suddenly came into a standstill, when the country was in lockdown. A lot of things were restricted, old operations had to be changed, new norms were set in place, a lot of things were different and many people are seen struggling to adapt to the new norms. Most of us managed to survive through 2020, though not all. We should be thankful if we still have a job and a healthy body that can allow us to continue working.
There are many ways of movement: crawl, tip-toe, stomp, run, sprint, stagger, hobble, slide ,hop, jump, leap, soar, fly, glide, slider, wobble, swim, jerk… No matter which way you chose to move, the most important thing to remember is that we do not stay stagnant no matter how hard life is. No matter how you moved through 2020, whether we walked or crawled, leaped or staggered our way through, we have to keep ourselves moving until we cross 2021 and we continue to move until our last breath.
No matter how hard life is, as long as we have breath, as long as we have to chance to see another sunrise, we still have hope.
I remember one hymn I learnt in school that I will always treasure –
I don’t know about tomorrow
I just live for day to day
I don’t borrow from the sunshine
For it’s skies may turn to gray
I don’t worry o’er the future
For I know what Jesus said
And today I’ll walk beside Him
For He knows what lies ahead
Many things about tomorrow
I don’t seem to understand
But I know who holds tomorrow
And I know who holds my hand
Ev’ry step is getting brighter
As the golden stairs I climb
Ev’ry burden’s getting lighter
Ev’ry cloud is sliver lined
There the sun is always shining
There no tear will dim the eye
At the ending of the rainbow
Where the mountain touch the sky
Many things about tomorrow
I don’t seem to understand
But I know who holds tomorrow
And I know who holds my hand
For us who are Christians, although we have a world of uncertainty that is ahead of us, we can have hope that although we don’t know about tomorrow, we can have faith that Jesus is always there and before us to guide us. Hebrews 13:8 gives us the assurance that, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever”. And as the Lord has spoken to us in the following verses (Matt 24:35, Mark 13:31, Luke 21:33) “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away”, we know for sure that the word of the Lord stands eternal and as Isaiah 55: 11 puts it, “So it is my word that goes out from my mouth; It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.” What has the Lord promised you in the year 2020, as you read His word? God is promise keeper, He will do it in His own time.
As a closing reminder and exhortation, we turn to Isaiah 40:28-31, “Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak, even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength, they will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”
Don't get tired of moving, but continue to hope in the Lord and let him carry us in his wings and we will soar like eagles. Let us all continue to hold on to Jesus and let Him guide us through the unknown future, He will not fail us!
God bless

Short Reflection on Praying in tongues

This might answer a frequently asked question especially from the new receivers whether speaking in tongues is by themselves or from the Holy Spirit. 

The short answer is both. It is part Holy Spirit and partnership with the person receiving it. 

Long answer - Praying in tongues is very similar to playing prophetic worship. While the music comes from the Holy Spirit, the musician has to activate his/her own fingers to play the 1st  note either on the keyboard or guitar, in order to produce a sound. The Lord will than add on more melody and notes while he/she plays. Similarly, for speaking in tongues, the person receiving the tongue has to move his/her own tongue and just say something. The Lord will eventually add more syllables to it.

Both scenarios requires the partnership of Man with Holy Spirit. If the man doesn't do anything, nothing shall be produced!

God bless you!

The Value of a Woman


From the perspective of the Bible, men and women are made equal in the sight of God. Even though the men are celled to lead the house and take charge and the women are supposed to submit to his authority, both are supposed to work together as partners, no one is more superior than the other. God is fair.

Let’s look:

From the account of creation in Genesis 2:18 – 22. “The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone, I will make a suitable helper for him. Now the Lord God has formed out of the ground all the beast of the field and all the birds of the air. He bought them to the man to see what he would name them, and whatever the man called each living creature that was is name. So the man gave names to all the livestock, and the birds of the air and the beast of the field. But for Adman, no suitable was found. So the Lord cause the man to fall into a deep sleep and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s rib and closed up the place with flesh. Then the Lord God made a woman form the man, and he brought her to the man.”

Notice this:

From the man, God made woman, but from the woman (when both man and woman come together to procreate) another human is produced. God called the woman a suitable helper for the man; I believe God made the man the head of the house, not because he is more superior, but because he is stronger of both gender and he is to protect the woman, since he came first into the picture. We came in second after him, not because we are an afterthought of the Lord, or because we are inferior, but because God saw that the man cannot be alone and therefore, He made us to help and compliment whatever is missing from him.

Many women (including myself) do not understand or even very often forget, their value, nor do some of the men (unfortunately). However, I do believe that a person who is truly rooted in Christ will see and understand that men and women are equal.  They are not to compete with each other but to help one another. Although, God has set in place the order that men should be the head and the women should submit, it does not give the men the right to abuse this authority and do anything he pleases, disregarding the women. Neither, is the woman supposed to be so passive in submission that she doesn’t contribute to the leader of the man.  The men should respect his woman and consider having her come along his side in partnership for anything they might want to embark on, together, even as individuals. Both are to respect each other and hold one another accountable in whatever they are doing.

God is equally fair in distributing spiritual gifts to His children. In Acts 2:17, ‘In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see vision, your old men will dream dreams….” What does “All” means”? The bible is clear all means everyone - the men and women the young and the old. God doesn’t exclude women when he gives the gift of teaching, prophecy, healing, shepherding etc… if that is the case the ministry of the church would be male dominated with no room for the women to play.  But you know that’s not true. All of us make up the body of the Christ, and the body consist of men, women, young people and older people. The body have hands, legs, mouth, eyes etc. Each member of the body has a part to play in the healthy functioning of the church.


The Bible showed us women that have played very important roles in history. Queen Esther, Deborah, Huldah are some great examples. The virgin Mary, Hannah, Elizabeth; without these women, Jesus would never come about, we wouldn’t have the prophet Samuel and John the Baptist. Some of the other women that were mentioned in the Bible was the woman in the well, the woman with the alabaster jar and Rahab the prostitute who hid the 2 spies in Jericho. The woman in the well evangelised to the whole village and brought many to Christ, (John 4:1-29) the woman with the alabaster jar was commented by Jesus that her small act would always be remembered and mentioned, in the preaching of the gospel (Matthew 26: 6-13) and we also have Rahab who was credited as righteous for what she did when she gave lodging to the spies and sent them off in different directions (James 2:25).

We have already seen in all these examples that women are indeed equally important and of great value. So, we as women, shouldn’t look down on ourselves nor should we ever allow ourselves to be put down by men. No! The order of the family as shown in Eph 5:21-33, “Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. Wives, submit yourselves to your own husband as you do to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ as is the head of the church, his body of which he is the saviour.  Now was the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husband in everything.” “Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.  In this same way, husband ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church – for we are members of his body, For this reason a man will leaves his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the who will become one flesh. This is a profound mystery – but I’m talking about Christ and the church. However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself and wife must respect the husband.”

I have said before in the beginning of the blog that the man was made the head, because he was the first to come in to the picture and the woman was subsequently brought to him to help him. I did say too that the Lord is fair to both men and women.  The above passage shows us in marriage God gave specific instructions to both the man and the woman. And it is fair, both have a role to play in order to make things work out. The famous saying goes “It takes two to tango”. That’s so true!!!

So women, chin up! You are just as important as the men, don’t let others tell you other wise and men, don’t put down your women! You were there to protect and lead us, not to trample upon us and abuse us!

Be blessed!

Thinking a loud

The lie - I have not been effective and successful in xxx what makes me think I can do well in xxx....

The truth - Failure doesn't define me, God does.

The reality - I'm still learning and exploring to discover what it is that God has called me to do... There is also a part of me that fears...

Due to my many failures,  I sometimes doubt my capabilities and competence and struggle to find my strength!

Being involved in differen ministries /mission trips exposes me to different gifting I never knew I had... So far, I discovered I could do prophetic art and music... Now, I'm exploring children ministry, I've already been in childcare for 11 years, I'm just expanding my "experience" in the mission field to "test" my effectiveness... Too early to say anything yet, since I just started.

After all these years, I'm still trying to find my niche, what I enjoy doing and what I'm really good at. I roughly have an idea, but to be honest, I am just average, I'm not the best or the most sought after but I just want to be available... Possibly, a way for me to explore and discover what I'm truly called for in my calling in ministry...  Different people have different opinions of me, ultimately it is God showing me and convincing me in the specific areas I should focus on...

Many failed attempts are also experiences, that I learn... Looking to see which area I've done well in and see how I can be better in it... This applies to my career too...

Why is a cell group called a cell group

Just a very short sharing..

A reflection rather and a revelation I got from the Lord as I sought Him... I asked God why is cell group called a cell group... And this is how I understand it...

A cell according to Biology, is the basic structural unit for all (living) organisms... Our (physical) body is made up of cells.

In spiritual terms we Christians are called the body of Christ, so "cell" groups are the basic make up of the whole entire "body"... since cells are a living organism it is growing, renewing and changing (being restored and repaired) always... So when we see it in the physical sense, it becomes really clear and it makes perhaps sense why cell group is called that way... Because like the cells in our body grow, repair and renew.

Likewise we as Christians in the body of Christ do the same with our thinking, living and everything... We should constantly be changing to be more and more Christ like and the cell group which acts as a structural unit, each single cell influence the other and thus multiplication and reproduction of new cells which causes the body to be constantly active and alive!

Hope you guys enjoyed my short write up and have been inspired by it 😁
