The HARVEST Lifestyle

Was very encouraged by today's CG message. Subsequently that night, i prayed for many
people dear to me. And some miracle happened a few days ago.

My mum was having chest pains again. She's not in the best of health. Dat monday night
when we gathered for family gathering, i just trusted God by faith, prayed for His healing
to be upon her. Some days later, she came and told me dat after i prayed for her, the next
morning, the pains in her chest were gone.

She still had occasional small pains here and there but they weren't nothin as bad as they
were that monday night. So i prayed by myself, asking God to make her trust in Him totally
with these things. The amazing thing is, i have never ever healed people man... NO WAY!!
HAHA! But, thru this experience, i've seen the evidence: that me of little faith, can heal! I
CAN HEAL!! In the Name of The Lord, I CAN HEAL!!! HALLELUJAH!! AMEN!!! HAHAHA!! Wow,
now thinkin of it, i can really see dat when God works in me, i can do all things of which
others would deem impossible. But in God, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE! Amen Hallelujah!!

God has taught me that through faith.. when i bring whatever little faith i have before Him,
He'll reveal Himself and multiply that faith tremendously! That was how i started speaking
in tongues and healing! Rite now, i wanna pray fervently for the gifts of prophecy and
intepretation of tongues, so that others around me can be edified thru these things :D

Today's message also talked about tithing to the Lord. Now i see tithing in a whole new
aspect. Some people regard tithing as giving 10% of your finances to the Lord. Dat's
correct, but besides tithing money, we should also tith our time. For the Bible says:
"Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added unto you."
How faithful God is because, when we sow time into His work and His Word, he blesses
us by giving us back those 'lost' time.

For example, on a Sunday, eve of a really impt exam, most would skip going to church
and put aside praying for half an hour 45 mins etc etc. But if we sow time and effort into
the things of the Lord, He WILL bless us back, and even much more than we can imagine.
I've seen many living testimonies of people who fervently serve their Lord God and whose
financial life, academic life, social, family, watever are blessed tremendously! The truth is
this, and evidence is found in the Bible, that we reap what we sow.

When we give away our money, give away our time and effort to the work of the Lord,
and have faith knowing that He will bless us, then WE ARE GONNA BE SO BLESSED!!
This goes beyond logic.. human logic dat is.. because God works in mysterious ways. No
amount of human intelligence or genius or intuition or gut feeling, can ever fathom the
way that God works in the lives of those who faithfully follow His commandments. If we
have $100 bucks, to tithe means to give awaya 10% which is $10 bucks. Now most of us
would be complainin at how much better we could have spent that 10 bucks on than to
give it away. However, the Bible says dat, when we give by faith and give cheerfully,
the gates of heaven will open and pour forth blessing innumerable upon us :D

So if you've been a Christian for some time, but have stopped tithing or giving.. have you
experienced why you havent been blessed in many areas of your life? The Bible mentions
the word 'Give' about 2000 plus times! Very much more compared to the words 'Believe',
'Love' etc. Obviously, as a Christian, it is therefore important AND imperative to give to the
House of God! Let me share with you this testimonial by my mum.

Some time ago, she was faithfully tithing and offering to the Lord. In one of that particular
years where there was economic crisis and people, thousands upon thousands were
losing jobs, my dad's pest control company saw an increase in annual turnover! And we
could even afford to give bonuses! Yes, during the economic crisis!! Then, sometime later,
she stopped giving. And the following year, the company lost a number of contracts. Those
contracts weren't renewed. The annual turnover dropped by 10K!! My mum now realised
just how impt it was to give to the Lord and she's started to give back again faithfully :D
She said she's excited and eager to see wat this year's turnover will be like! haha!

So you see.. it is impt to tithe and give offering to the House of the Lord. And as for me,
i've realised dat, hey i shouldnt be sloggin over my saxophone practice for the whole day!
No, i need to devote time to doing wat God wants me to do as well.. dat is praying fervently,
doing my daily devotional.. spending quality time with my Bible etc etc. And as for sightreading,
I'm just gonna commit it unto the Lord! I believe, in time to come, He will bless me with much
much more if i faithfully abide in Him :D Hallelujah!

The following song has become one of my favourites of all time :D Amen Hallelujah! This song's
about the time when Christ will return to the earth and reign again. Dat's the second-coming of
Christ, and during that time, all things on this earth will worship His Holy Name! Every knee will
bow, every tongue will confess, that Jesus Christ is Lord! Amen Hallelujah! The Day draws closer
each day!!

All The Heavens

Holy holy are You Lord,
The whole earth is filled with Your glory.
Let the nations rise to give,
Honour and praise to Your name.
Let Your face shine on us,
And the world will know You live.

All the heavens shout Your praise!
Beautiful is our God!
The universe will sing!
Hallelujah to You our King!
