faith

I believe in You,

And i just want to follow You. 

Faith... Thats the step to take, 

Not about chasing the actions or "good works". Those will come naturally and automatically, a byproduct, a fruit...

Faith is taking what is unseen and bringing it down to the world... 

By faith we take hold.

Cain and abel, 

There is worship that is acceptable to God, and one there is not. Which one are you bringing? 

Type? Lamb-veg

Portion? - the best part.. Just something?

Timing? First born- in the course of time, just suka-suka..

Writer of hebrews: what set it apart : faith. God looked into the hearts of cain and abel... He found faith in one. 

Heart of cain was exposed when God rejected his offering. 

What does it mean to worship by faith? 

Choosing to love and honor God inspite of what we're going through. 

Anyone can worship God when things are good, but it takes something else to worship Him when things aren't going well 

Abel worshiped by faith

Enoch walked by faith

Sense a sense of intimacy, 

Like evening walks... 

A walk isn't a continuous thing, a process... In the same direction, can both walk together if they are going different directions?.. When two come into ab agreement. When God calls something good, its good. When God calls something bad, its bad.

Its never a one off thing. 

"a long obedience in the same direction" 

Any relationship is like that. 

Enoch was noah's great great grandfather. A positive effect on the future generations. 

Noah... ____ by faith. 

Witnessed 

To tell people about something you known its true. God spoke to Noah, and he shared it. He acted upon it. 

It look hundreds of years. 

In a time of no rain, people didn't believe it. It is one thing to be ridicule. If you're a good person in an evil society. You'll feel unsafe. 

No one could say no one witness to us. Cause the ark was in their face.

Does our obedience bear witness to our God? Live in a way that we trust God for our salvation?

Live a life that is mindfull of the word or God,.... mighty in service

the speed of the soul

"My soul just can’t do life at the speed of smartphones." - John Eldredge

ted and ted talks

Ted kaczynski... What a genius.

He must have life good inside prison, a roof over his head and meals, isolation from the world. All the basic needs taken care off, all the unnecessary things done away like taxes and relationships.. Or the need to build relations with strangers... He still keeps in contsct with people, relationships are important... 

He can just focus.

Wow. 

That there is real genius.. Being able to do something so.. Atrocious to society. To help it. 

I wanna read his manifesto. 

Ted.. A hero? 

Ted... Hmm. Ted talks.. Haha. 

I wonder if he's linked to it and pulling strings while still behind bars or something. 

red comemoration Aukey CB-AC1

Finally decided to get the Aukey braided nylon usb3.1 Gen1 to type-C (1.2m) cable. It can quick charge my huawei mate 9. Its thick and no worries of bashing it around. Its going to be my EDC cary cable (wanna leave the original one at home with the charger, as that one does supercharging really well and dont want to spoil it by wesr and tear). This one on the other hand. Imma abuse the heck out of it.

And it is usb3.1 btw, so it transfers data at 5gbs. Even faster than the original cable that only has usb2. 

Because the two wires are different in function and tecnical aspects.. , i justify that it is worth the buy.

Haha, thats just me comforting myself.. For spending.. RM29. RRP was RM89. Aukey's official website sells it for Rm49. So 30 bucks... The digi store in 1B has had it for quite some time... And i keep eying it everytime i pass by the store.. So now... No more.... 

I'm satisfied and happy with my purchase.. 

The last thing i'd buy here in Sabah,

Before flying off back to PJ tonight, 

And then to NZ on 27th!

saving is all His work

The more i read..

The more i realise that..

"saving is all His idea,

And all His work" 

I've tried to save myself before.

Many times, trying to do the "good work". 

It became the goal, not a response/byproduct. 

I cannot save anyone, 

Not the ones i love, 

Nor even myself. 

If i cannot love myself, 

How am i even supposed to love others, 

More so my enemies. 

The only way, 

To Abide in Christ, 

Whats the reason for all this? 

Love

= grace + kindness

It is futile to even think that

"i can do good works"

Its like building back the old barn thats meant to be teared down. 

No one can do good, 

Not even me. 

No one can save, 

Not even me. 

Christ. 

Only in Christ. 

That i may not boast. 

Christ, 

Only Christ. 

Can save, 

And it is His work. 

And it is his goodness. 

That out flows, over flows, displays itself, reflection off, result of, transforms, changes, moulds, mends, automatic response... 

It is His good work, 

And not mine

ps josh power to prosper s2

Ah ps phillip has a cd compilation of PTP.

Fsther wanting to teach the child 

10 sen or 50 sen. You can choose which one to put into the offering bag. 

God loves a cheerful giver. 

I gave the 10 sen, casue keeping 50 eill make me happier

Abundance formula

Earning - tithe - investments = epenses

What is tithes? 

Thr ship wreck people, someonebwill find us. The pastor will find me, i tithe 10k to the church. 

Tithe is a covenantal act that is born out of love. God is the one that has enabled us to make everything.

God is not just a good God, he is a generous giver. John 3 verse 16. Gods love language, for he loved the world so much he gave his only Son. 

FLO

For lovers only. 

If all we want to do is to keep, oyr hesrts become stagnant. It becomes like the dead sea. It becomes toxic. Hoarding, hanging on.

Let our hearts be like the sea of Galile. In flow and out flow. 

Go with the flow.

Four promises of financial covenant

Malachi 3:10-13

I will open the channels between us. 

Windows of heaven. 

"sluice gate" - a dam and river, outlets. 

When God opens the floodgstes, no man can close it. 

A young man wanted to go to the big city and find employment. He took a cannel boat. The captain said to him. Someone will soon be the leading soap maker in NY. You can be that person. But remember the soap is given by God, remember to faithfully tithe to him. 

William Colgate. 10% to 20 to 30 to 50.

All that we have, truely belongs to the Lord. The life, the financial, the family, the people, the factories. 

He knew how to Flo. 

Speak Gods love language. 

I will pour out abundant blessing in Excess

Our God is no man's debtor. 

Financial blessings in excess

"bless" - to kneel or praise. 

Pour out so much that you will not have enough room to store. 

I got it all back, 

And got more than that. 

In salaries increment, in bonuses. 

We can never outgive God. 

Henry parsel Cornwell 

Massive change, people were loosing jobs. 

Ohiao factory, tuberculosis. 

Quaker oats company. 

As their buisness grew, so did their giving. 

I have never gotten ahead of God, 

He always outgives me. 

Over and over. 

When you tithe, i will close the backdoor. 

Prevent the devourer. The pest.

I will protect the blessings you receive. 

It can leak. 

There is no secular sacred divide. 

I want to make God my business partner.

Earth moving machinary. 

Still recession. 26 times in 6 years. 

Antonio. 

Its not how much money i give to God, 

Its how much of God's money i keep for myself - R. G. LeTourneau

I will bring your investments to full term

Time, energy, hiring labour.. 

Skills, company. 

Craft cheddar cheese. 

"the only investments i ever made which have paid constantly increasing dividends is the money i have given to the Lord" - James L. Kraft.

freedom, actions, consequences

1. in life we have the freedom to choose what to believe in. 2. what we believe in normally determines most of our actions in life. 3. our actions all have consequences
