His promises of Blessings....

This week March 12, I think it was the Tuesday or was it Wed when I woke up in the morning and was very certain that the Lord had spoken something specific to me in my dreams.
It was so vivid, specific that I could remember it clearly after waking up and told Sylvia that the Lord is reminding me of something......

In the dream, I recalled pronouncing the Priestly blessings of Numbers 6:24-26
" The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn His face toward you and give you peace".
(Every word was so clear in my dream and I was not meditating or praying over these verses prior to my sleep!!!)

I was reminded that His promises of blessings is there for me and I do not need to feel denied...
He also will keep me from falling, from wavering in my Faith in Him and above from wickedness & evil...
He will make grant favor by shining HIS Face upon me that by my life I will reflect His glory & life.....
He will be gracious to me & though I may not get any positive response in my career search, I am remined of His grace to me and likewise to be gracious....

(This week I experienced His Grace - when a friend connected me with a possible job lead and that lead connected me with 3 other leads altho he does not know me at all - surely this is the goodness and grace of God!)

He turn his face toward me - give me time and attention and peace to me....
Yes as circumstances seem negative or unpromising, my peace in Him should not be dependent on these circumstances but rather on HIM who is ever faithful.
My faith remain steadfast in Him instead of just circumstances....

God is the Lord of my all including uncertain, unpromising and silent situations because HE Loves me and His promises to Bless me is there to fulfill and not to fail.....

I am blessed that He sent me this dream to encourage me!

What is Faith?

Wk of Mar5 - I went to XM and during the journey listened to Edmund Chan's tape on Eccl7:7-10 and was very blessed by it and would like to pen my learnings:

1. PROMISES Delayed are not Promises DENIED !!!!

2. When Faith level is higher, Expectation rises and possible disappointment is greater.
But REAL FAITH presses on ..... it focuses on GOD who allows the results and not just the RESULTS!
He who has true Faith examines himself and rest in GOD and continues to believe in GOD's BEST and SEEK GOD inspite of the circumstances.
Do we seek His answers to our prayers more than we seek Him? What are we focusing on - God or His miracles to our answers? What if answers are not there? Where is our faith or is our faith misplaced? Should our faith dwindle away?

3. The next few verses suggest how we should continue in our faith journey when prayers are not answered...
Heb 10:35-36
35 So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. 36You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.

These are the same verses that were shared with us by a CG member- reminding us to perserve in Him so that we will receive what He has promised.

4. When prayers are not answered where is the faith?
Ps Edmund shared his own journey of their church tendering a piece of land which they were Not awarded despite much prayers, faith and unity...what is the learning lesson here?

A generic lesson for all believers in this journey....

IN THE FACE OF LIFE TRIALS, I SEE....
THE WISDOM OF PATIENCE
THE PRESENCE OF LOVE
THE MYSTERY OF JOY
THE GLORY OF HUMILITY....

ABOVE ALL, I SEE THE HAND OF GOD!!

DO I SEE THE HAND OF GOD DESPITE UNANSWERED OR DELAYS IN PRAYERS?

DO I SEE THE HAND OF GOD IN MY OWN JOURNEY IN LIFE'S TRIALS?

The Lord will honour you.....

March 2 P&P - I shared how e lord led me thru this difficult decision to do the right thing for Him. The church was v supportive and they gathered ard Sylvia and I to pray for us. Ps Joe/Kenneth asked for pple to pray or shared with us if they hv a Word from God. See Chee, Susan Wong & David Yong prayed for us and we were v thankful for their love & care.

Interestingly Susan shared a Word from God and prayed for us:
"You have honoured me before Man and I will honour you. Do not hang down yr head in shame. Open your mouth and speak and blessings will pour forth...be courageous."

Both Sylvia and I were v v encouraged & blessed by e lord's words. More so when susan repeated these same words on Sunday am to Sylvia affirming that the source of all these was from Him.....

I also shared in greater details this situation with CG on sat 3 Mar. We were v touched by their concerns esp those like Yoke mui, hui tze, eileen, alice, susan and Hock Chuan who prayed lovingly for us. The Lord is now also helping e CG to go thru this journey w/us as we prayed and trust Him for nxt steps....
