Weather Change

Strange things have happened nowadays and more common. Weather is really hot.
I read in the papers that this is also the year of El Nino. And it would get worse.
Strange weather.

Doing research on agricultural production, I read more land getting more inarable, meaning, acute food shortage likely to arise in the next 30 years.

I read Matthew 24 just this morning. And I guess, woah...famine on a global scale is going to happen soon. Not Africa countries. But all over the world. Just in South East Asia alone, the padi fields would be badly affected due to rising sea level, more lands would be flooded and the the salt content of soil will also render these areas uncultivatable.

The fish in the world is also depleting at an alarming rate due to over-fishing. Animals are striken with diseases due to modern agricultural techniques of mono-pedigree cultivation.

Famine on a global scale haven't been witnessed. If we read the drastic climatic changes and the current mal-practice of modern agricultural teachniques (in contrast to God's prescribed farming teachinques), a global famine is not far away.

We have seen H1N1 as another testimony of global diseasae outbreak..a pestilence that Christ prophesied in Matthew 24...we haven't seen famine on a global level yet...with such fulfillment on the horizon, it is again another warning..time to be sober-minded. Ezra said, "look at the times" and Nehemiah says "look at the wall". Christians...look at this warning signs and use it as a sign of the end of the age. Be on your toes and point people to see these signs as evidence that what Christ says is true. But more than that, what He says, "He is the Saviour of the world". To a world that is only dying, the only hope is in Christ. Whatever Christ says will come to pass. He echoes these words, "Heaven and Earth will pass away, but the Word of God abides forever".

So abide in this promise of the only deliverer, Christ Jesus.

Frail is real

Tonight at BSF, we went through Leviticus. It is a book themed on the holiness of God. It strike deeply that God loves a moral upright, righteous people who adore and worship God.

The more I read the law, the more I realise we have grown to ignore, have not regard for God anymore.

In general, I think we have also distanced from reality. Take human existance being frail, we dun take it as real. Unless we face death, that thought is always distant.

I wonder how many of us are sober. I wonder.

Before I forget

When the days seem longer yet it is shorter.

Sometimes you consider that they are characters having suffered worse...Job with his boils, Jonah in the stomach of a big fish, Stephen stoned alive for the faith and you wonder how all these men could withstand such agonising death.

Death seemingly is cruel, but there are people who think also likewise living is cruel. Some may think death is a release others think that being alive is to be grateful. The key is still, where does your hope lies?

Living is cruel also because when all hope is dashed and death seems to suggest all will end. Hope is such a precious thing. Hope is light in darkness. Hope illuminates seemingly the darkness of days. Hope keeps one alive.

Hope is intangible. Hope gives rise to faith but faith also give rise to hope. Without faith, there can be no hope. Where there is no hope, there is no faith. The hope of gaining Christ. The hope of complete rest from the soldiering, the laboring, the gladness of the heart seems all so inviting.

Sometimes I think I weathered a lot of storm, seen alot of rain, awashed with much agonies, yet if I end of by thinking that the end of all that is for me to taste the curse of sin, then I am under a curse. I am but if that is all to life, then indeed it is a curse.

Curse will end. Hope never. Eternity with God is something I cannot comprehend neither have I seen. Invisbility remains invisible. And I am reminded the words of Paul who says we are by all men most pitiable if our hope is in vain. Our hope cannot be in vain, that is what Paul says. Assurance is the substance that guarantees our hope. So it must be God who keeps you and not the other way round. If my thought does stay on this, I know the only outcome, I will crumble and hope around will crumble and I will fall flat like a pack of cards.


A eternity with God never perishes. Before I forget. I am secure with Christ. God, help me to stay with you. Before I forget, You keep me, not I but Christ that keeps everyone with You. Before I forget. Help me to remember before I forget when I feel that there is a load that overwhelms. Help me to remember before I forget.

Durians

Apperance can be deceiving. Smell can be as well. But what prevails is what is found in you.

Crisis

3 major things collapse all in one.

Health, work and studies. Amazing the depth of all these problems, each being deep itself could assemble together at the same time.

Going for the church camp was very amazing. It was as though after hearing every message, God knew a trial of unmet proportions is coming and He is preaparing the way.

This sovereignty is enshrouded with divine love to the highest degree. It has wisdom and mercy.

God's infinite grace extends to meet the most despairing of heart.

I dread going thru the tunnel of suffering, but I would not forget the suffering of Christ brought Christ to the Father. Perhaps that is why Pastor Jeff said, embrace suffering like a friend then you shall consider it all joy.
