The word “sons” here refers to mature sons and not children.

While I was driving, the Lord spoke to me: “do you know that the place of gnashing of teeth is no in hell?” 

I was stunned.

Let us look into this passage in Matthew 25:

¹⁴For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.

 ¹⁵And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey.

 ¹⁶Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents.

 ¹⁷And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two.

 ¹⁸But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord’s money.

 ¹⁹After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.

 ²⁰And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.

 ²¹His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

 ²²He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them.

 ²³His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

 ²⁴Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed:

 ²⁵And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.

 ²⁶His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed:

 ²⁷Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.

 ²⁸Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.

 ²⁹For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.

 ³⁰And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

The fact that this servant was unprofitable is not because he was not talented or gifted.  It is plain lazy and having hard thoughts of the master.  Perhaps the complaining sort of person and someone who thinks life owes him some things.  Basically, he may be dissatisfied with life itself.  

The unprofitable servant is already in the place where there is gnashing of teeth metaphorically speaking.  Perhaps he has been gnashing his teeth everyday complaining of others and whatsoever he comes in contact with.

Then the Lord gently rebuked me:  ” do you know that if I can give you a car, I want you to enjoy it, and therefore I will give you the means to maintain it. You need not join the people queueing for the MRT every morning if you don’t want to.”

Yes, He is such a good God and a loving daddy.  And best of all, He loves me.

Thank you Jesus.  

Boy was I excited when I saw the first flower. I expected to have the first chilly from it. But to my disappointment, it faded, dried up and dropped.

And there there was the 2nd flower, the 3rd flower and so on.

Some became chillies while some dropped off.

I notice that on days that I forgot to water the plant some of the dried flowers would wither off quickly and drop off the plant.
I also notice that for those dried flowers that did not drop off, they have already become a fruit and on their way to become a red chilly.

My observation: it is easy to wither with flowers but not with a fruit. a fruit (chilly) will grow until it ripes and be plucked and enjoyed or grow to ripen and turn bad if no one plucks it.

Now …

22… the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
Galatians 5:22-23 (New International Version)

My small chilly plant has now become taller than me.
And it has many small chillies.

Am I glad that it is the fruit of the Spirit and not the flower of the Spirit.

This means that these 9 qualities love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control are already inherent inside of us the moment we receive Christ Jesus as our personal Lord and Saviour. And like fruit, it matures with time.

Hey, wait a minute, where is prosperity?

Yes, got it … it is in peace.

Abba Father, thank you so much for this wonderful plan of salvation, we are so blessed in Christ. Amen

1 John 4
13Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.
16And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.

The King of kings is our refuge, our deliverer, our solace. The armies of angels in heaven are on our side.

Greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world. Than whatever that is in the world. We believers have the power and answer right inside of us. Look within us for strength and for dignity. We are heirs of this cosmos, joint-heirs with Christ.

The Bible tells us, as Christ is, right here and now, so are we … where? IN THIS WORLD! not in the life thereafter. But NOW in this world we live in.

Start asking the Lord for big things which He has already placed in our hearts. If there is still some shadows of doubts, ask Him to shine lights in these areas.

Jeremiah 29:11 is true for every believer, Our God has plans greater than what we can envision.

Let us forget the past and stretch forth towards the goal that Christ has already placed in our hearts.

Believe, what He has revealed to us to ask in prayer, we receive. The only thing that stops our believing is our very own doubt.

He is the One who placed the desires there, especially if they are not sinful nor greed driven. They are safe to follow. Like asking the Lord to bless us to build the largest company in one area which He has put in our hearts.

It is He would would answer our prayers. He places the desires there, He would also supercedes what we Amen to Him. HE is an exceptionally generous and powerful God. Who loves us very very very much.

Amen.

And our hearts are filled with excitement because it is a very pleasant task.

So like Mary, we say “Amen” .

Some 3 years ago, the Lord put the desire in my heart to invite 50 people to an evangelistic rally. My mind began to rationalise. Who would take care of them? Where do I find these 50? Will they have bad experience knowing that the place is not so elderly friendly. I know in my heart that He wants to invite the elderly folks.

I observed the place and the event that year. I invited no one, the first year (2007).

The following year, I received a telephone call from a pastor from another church. The Holy Spirit within me told me “Ask him to invite”.
At that time, I invited 30. This is the figure and the amount that I am willing to part with at that time. And praise Jesus, two precious ones came to know the Lord. The stadium seats about 6,000 and about 98 people came to know The Lord last year.

This year, as some indicated that they would also like to contribute, I invited 45 (the contact person told me the bus could accommodate 45). And we saw 7 salvations! Look what the Lord has done!

Our hearts rejoice seeing so many souls saved.

All glory and praise be unto the Lord.

Humanly speaking, the task seems too huge. But if we say “yes” to the Lord, He just makes all things come together and we His partners just watch Him work.

5Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

As long as we believe that Jesus is the Son of God, we have already overcome the world.

Thank you Lord Jesus, yes, You are the Son of God.

Thank you for the victory, thank you based on the authority of Your Word here, we who believe you are the Son of God, have overcome the world.

Praise the Lord!

Amen

Thank God for providing the foresight to our leaders who lead the people with great positive visions ahead. So the people flourish!

Praise the Lord.

Let us also have little visions for ourselves to work towards to everyday … so we too shall flourish.

Amen

John 1 (King James Version)
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

3All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

4In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

spending time in the Word is liken to spending time with Jesus.

not just reading the Bible but listening to anointed sermons.

take it as God is speaking to us directly through the speaker
ask the Holy Spirit to reveal the truth that can set us free …
the truth that we know will indeed set us free …

Good health and good wealth follows after the man / woman who studies the Word and not the other way round.

Amen

and I am sure you heard something like this also

Job’s restoration came about after he prayed for his friends

recently the Lord addressed me on this issue

He said there is no precendence on such a theory

as in if you want to be blessed in this area
pray for others in this area

if you come across such please let me know

his restoration came about because of his repentance
repentance as in how he changed his thinking
or how he feels

the fact that the Lord asked his friends to go to Job to be prayed for

could have made Job feel a sense of righteousness backed by God
even in the midst of his own trials

and this sense of righteousness
translates into answered prayers for this friends

and if he prayed for his friends
of course he would also pray for himself

hence the restoration.

the feeling of condemnation hinders answers to prayers

when God restores Job’s sense of righteousness
everything else in Job’s life’s is restored and blessed double …
even better than before …

we should emphasize greatly on the teachings of righteousness by faith
we should magnify this teaching so that God’s children
indeed feel a sense of belonging in this powerful family of the Almighty.

Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have everything we ask for in prayer.

God bless all our plans and our success.

Let us do a reality check, and seriously ask ourselves if we have not been indeed enjoying a wonderful relationship with our Father. Where have we gone wrong? Father has not changed, He is always the same. So there must be something that has gone wrong with us.

There is a very high chance that our blessings stop
the moment we allow bitterness to enter our hearts
be it related or not

so in order to enjoy the constant flow of blessings
and a very happy and healthy relationship with the Most High

let us not harbour bitterness in any area of our lives
let us not envy others when they are better off than ourselves
let us not back bite others even though we feel that we are much better off then them
let us just be contented with our lot in life and enjoy the very present moment.

It is God who promotes one and tear down the other
it is better that the Lord promotes us than we promote ourselves

in the end, let there be love.

and begin to enjoy the blessings of seeing our prayers answered speedily again and again.

Amen

After asking Him for forgiveness especially of our most terrible mistakes, do we still feel that we should kind of pay for those stupid mistakes instead of getting away from them scotch-free? Without any recompense?

Recently I committed a driving offense, my cashcard was not inserted properly into the IU in my vehicle and I missed the ERP deduction (some kind of a road tax for using the road on busy hours).

Immediately after I realised my mistake, I telephone the authority to explain to them that it was purely an unintentional mistake.

However, I was told to wait for the letter which meant I would be issued a fine for the offence.

After I received the letter, I wrote in to appeal for waiver of the fine via email to the one who sent me the letter.

He replied the very next day by sending me a letter to waive off the fine.

While I was checking out on my email daily for his reply.

It was until the last day to pay up for the fine and there was no response forth coming. So I obediently paid the fine as failing to pay up after the deadline would incur heavier penalty charges.

I paid up just after midnight of the last day and I emailed to the authority about my remittance.

Today we checked the mailbox, and lo and behold, there was the reply letter to waive off the fine!

And when I switched on my computer to check my email,
the officer replied my email too.

He said that they would honour the waiver and I would be
receiving a cheque for that waiver as I had already paid the fine.

You can imagine how wonderful I felt.

And indeed if we think a little deeper, even a human being
could show one another such grace. How much more God our heavenly daddy?

Even if we thought our sins were not forgiven and
we worked hard to earn our salvation
yet, grace would still be extended
and God would indeed honour His Word given to us
through His Son Jesus Christ.

The God of the Universe
the Creator of heaven and earth
cannot lie.
Surely blessing He would bless us,
multiply He would multiply us.

It is entirely based on Him honouring His Word
and nothing we could do could stop Him from blessing us and
loving us and showering us with more blessings!

Praise Jesus who made these all possible for us.

Amen and all glory be to Jesus!

Amen

Yesterday  April 18th, I received an sms in my mobile phone regarding free ticket to the SG Flyer for the first 500 Singtel subscriber to show up at Singapore Flyer DAILY on weekends and public holidays from now till May 24. 

Picture of Singapore Flyer taken before its first operation.

Today after worshipping the Lord in church, we showed up at the Singapore Flyer and both hubby and I received each a ticket worth a total of $58 and indeed enjoyed the breath-taking ride in one of our city’s newest attractions. 

It is fun to be a tourist even in our very own lovelycountry.

On Good Friday, The Lord gave me a FREE night’s stay in one of our country’s prestigous hotels, I received my voucher on Saturday! …

thank you all for wishing me blessings … yes so be it unto you and me too … blessings in abundance !

Our Father has asked me to share with His beloved children to operate like He does …

Say it,

receive it and

tell the world about it …

this is modus operandi for all God’s children … operate just like Him …

God said “Light be, and light was” and we all can see indeed there is light.

Just in case some may disagree, they will have their fair share of what they say… we have  no problem with that  …

so be wise, choose life …

well if you need someone to agree with you in prayer …

The Lord Jesus  says if two of us agree here on earth it shall be done.

Nothing can stop us, even in olden times, when they were building the tower of Babel, they were so united that God had to interfere and caused them to speak in different languages so that their work cannot be accomplished.

So let us have our prayer requests, even our wildest wishes, listed down. And get our loved ones to agree together if we do, according to God’s definition, it shall be done.

Speak to our Heavenly Father naturally, without any restraint … just like we speak to our loved ones.   Forget the formalities of proper addressing, cut that out, our Father and us are very close and He Himself says all He has is ours …

We have a maid, she was formerly serving a much bigger family than ours … and perhaps having a more expensive taste … when we go shopping for groceries, we notice the items she chooses are of the higher end than we use to buying …

My father-in-law would naturally ask me to take as much as I like and any items I fancy, and I usually buy the same stuff same brand  and nothing fanciful … until I saw how the maid shops … and something inside of me tells me … see how she knows how to take full advantage of my father-in-law’s generousity and buying the very best?   and how about my father-in-law’s own children, we?  

it just occurs to me that hey, have we not been taking advantage of the goodness our Heavenly Father is showering upon us?

or are we just so happy and contented with the mediocre lifestyle that we are currently just getting by?   Have we forgotten to take advantage of our position as children of the Most High and becoming supernaturally natural?

after receiving the hotel voucher today, my hubby reminded me that I mentioned booking a hotel stay a short break from the normal routine and lo and behold, my once-upon-a-time-nothing-to-do angel, is active and running about serving me again!

ask you something, is your angel having nothing to do recently? the test is have you been receiving blessings as answered prayers or having your heart’s desires granted ?   If you have then your angel is sent to work for you. 

If not, perhaps we have been too busy trying to “earn” our own blessings.  As in busy doing things for the Lord so that we might be blessed … His blessings don’t come this way … trust me …it took me more than a year to realise it …  

His blessings come as a result of our relationship with Him … and it always works … and nothing more or less than that …

Enjoy Him … and see your heart’s desires running after you … Amen

HE is so generous, so good, so perfect and has given us everything we would ever need here on earth.

And HE tells us His beloved children, only “Ask” … and it would be given.

“Ask” don’t doubt … and know … just know … it is given.

Even if we want to go to somewhere far far away and visit their countries … we can just ask … and consider it given.

at times, God can give to us bypassing the medium – money

see yourself as God when you “Ask” Him for anything.

Hope you are blessed …

to further convince myself … I wake up now in the morning and and I checked out the verse in Genesis 26
12Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him.

this verse the word hundredfold means times 100
and in Hebrews there is a word Sha-arh with it …
and it only appears once in the entire Bible …
and the word Sha-arh has the meaning of split
1) to split open, reason out, calculate, reckon, estimate

I am so excited that I use my computer to calculate what is 2 to the power of 100 … but the limit of human technology could only give me the visible up to 2 to the power of 36 … which is
68,719,476,736.00

awesome … what a mightly God we serve! and He is our Father!

now … Children of the Most High … has the Most High given us the secret to financial freedom?

yes!

praise the Lord!

This revelation is so true, if we had sown in Feb, by now we have reaped more than double.

Let there be boldness to trust in the Lord’s leading and guidance.

Let us forget the past and reach out to the price of high calling in Christ Jesus.

and He said … if two shall agree here on earth … it would be done for them …

do we see God’s heart of generousity?

go get sowing … the power to prosper is in the seed …

We pray for ALL who believe to prosper MIGHTILY IN THE LORD JESUS!

Amen

after hearing a testimony of how a couple laid hands over a plasma TV, prayed over it and claimed it as theirs … the wife won in a company’s dinner lucky draw not just the plasma TV … but the whole set of home theatre system … that they were so grateful … and were able to watch the World cup on this new gift which they claimed as theirs.

My friend and I were so encouraged by the testimony that we went to lay hands on the flat screen TV set in the store …

and lo and behold … it was last year around this time, my brother in law gave me a 20″ Hitachi flat screen LCD TV for my bedroom …

and on Sunday after church  … this same brother in law met me  and told me he is going to give me another flat screen LCD TV … this time it is a 37″ wide Sharp Aquous … all FOC … my heart is overjoyed …not because he is giving me the TV … but that the action of claiming and receiving has come into effect in my life …

and what is more amazing is … the Lord spoke to me … FOC … means FULL OF CHRIST … not just free-of-charge … indeed I thank the Lord for loving me so much …

even the car park lot He gave me on Saturday … when I entered the carpark I just said I want a lot NEAREST to the lift …

even before I reached there and there was absolutely no lot available before I reached there … but when my car reached the entrance of the lift, someone came out from the lift and walked towards his car and drove away …

the lot was the nearest to the entrance to the lift from the driver seat …

 the Lord has indeed confirmed His Word on faith …

the essence of faith is believing and speaking … have we been believing and speaking God’s promises over our lives in a joyful and expectant manner?

Even if it is only once, the Lord knows and indeed watches over His Word eagerly to perform it … we indeed serve a risen Saviour … what a great privilege! Amen

since it is His word to us His children … we claim all the good stuff there …

praise the Lord

He is worthy of all praise!

Blessed be the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!

Hallelujah, praise the Lord!

All glory be unto Jesus!

Praise Him Praise Him Praise Him forever!

Amen

Then I revealed to her that the oil was no ordinary oil but holy oil which
was prayed over for the purpose of healing and blessing. (after I let her apply,
I said to God, I have done my part, now it is Your turn to do Your job ….
I am so happy He (my God and Father) is working and not on leave…. just joking ..

My colleague is not a Christian yet, but she told others that she applied God’s oil and it healed her …

She even asked me what are the other applications of the oil besides healing,
can she apply at her home to bless her family? I told her yes, and even car
and wallet, for protection and blessing …

She said she would bring an empty bottle so that I could pour some of God’s oil for her.

A leader of mine asked me to tell her that the oil could work wonders for her because of my faith and prayer over the oil so that she would not use the oil unwisely. So I did. I told her not to pass the oil to a third party just for her own use only.

True, Jesus is never on leave, he never slumber nor sleep, he keeps watch over each and every child of His.

I continue to pray for healing for each and everyone here.
I know He hears our prayers !

Praise Jesus and Abba Father!
Thank you Holy Spirit

………
some of the uses of anointing oil :
1. edible olive oil for cooking … for food and salads … DIVINE HEALTH AND FRUITFULNESS FOR THE FAMILY. The Lord will bless our bread and our water.
2. scented olive oil … like essential oil … my own application is just a dab of oil on the corners of my rooms and a little cross on the main door facing outside … actually to wade of evil if there are some unbelievers in the household, we apply the Blood of Christ over the doorpost and the lintels by speaking “Father in Heaven, we plead the Blood of Christ Jesus over the door post and the lintels of this house” … we can even say this while we apply the anointing oil at the door.
3. insomnia … just a dabb on the pillow before we sleep …
4. continue to apply the anointing oil on affected areas of our bodies daily once a day will do, until full manifestation of healing has taken place (my colleague’s skin after 5days of application is TOTALLY HEALED, now the dried spot which sealed up the skin for healing has fallen off … I can see that her skin is returning to NORMAL already. I don’t know if I may ask her to allow me take a picture of her healed hand to post her … let’s see how …
5. for SPOUSE ,,, someone applied the oil on their spouse’s pillow and the spouse became exceptionally loving towards her …
6. for selling of house … it is the prayer of the righteous that accomplishes much … what you pray to the Lord while you are applying the oil … my pastor and some of the church members did this … they applied the oil on a prominent part of the house, laid hand and pray that the house be sold at a record high price or the price that they want to sell. And they all GOT it! Some properties could not be sold for months, were sold almost immediately after applying the anointing oil.
7. over the children … that the Lord would protect them and bring them up to be history makers, leaders, whatever their giftings maybe … to be the very best in the areas of their giftings … to grant them wisdom and joy in growing up … no stress.
8. our wallets and our bank accounts, our investments… that they would never run dry on us … instead they be filled with abundance … overflowing … to the extend we can be a blessing to others in a generous way …
9. our workplace … a sister of mine applied the oil in her office during lunchtime .. as the colleagues like to gossip or play “politics” or not working in harmony … she witnessed a significant change in them after lunch. Someone very bored with his work for a long while started applying the anointing oil on his work desk, that morning, he was called into his boss’ office and he was given a promotion and a good pay increment.
10. vechicles … a man of God applied the oil on the front and back and sides of his car … and he was protected from assualt of the axe … no even a side mirror was broken … when the attackers hit his car … the attackers fled for their lives after that … some of us applied on our vehicles and were protected from serious accidents and escaped WITHOUT A SCRATCH! as for my own car, we already laid our hands on it on the first day we purchased it and we have already prayed over the car for smooth rides all the way. We applied the anointing oil in the car that the loans of the car would be easy to meet and would be fully paid up soon, at the same time we prayed for protection for driver and passengers. We will apply the oil on our car as and when the Spirit leads.
11. in the storeroom, the fridge, the wardrobe, the shoe cabinets … that we would have good quality food, clothings and shoes … Jesus said … our Father in heaven knows we need these things .. . what to eat and what to wear … if we don’t see them as we desire, we can offer up a prayer to our Heavenly Daddy to see to it that we are supplied with good food, nice clothes, handbags and shoes …
12. on our computers, our internet modems, the mouse, the keypads … that they function well and serve us well … also that they may be used to minister to others as Christ ministers through us to them … I offered my service to the Lord as prayer collator … and my computer gets upgraded for free every year … and at some time, I have free hard disk for a Christmas present, and at times, I have free hand-me-down printer and scanner of good quality …
13. on our lips … that we would always say the right words at the right time … and know when to shut up … and just see the Lord work wonders in our lives …
14. on our shoes … that we would always be at the right place at the right time, meeting the right people … and keeping evil far from us … the spirits can see the power of the anointing oil and they will flee far away from us…
15. one the plane, bus, trains for smooth and safe rides to our destinations especially when we are travelling overseas…

the above are just suggestions, don’t overdo it … just pick one or two areas which we feel lead to do it …

Most important of all offer our time and our assets to the Lord, and we will see He blesses them back mightily to us and our family. We will never be short changed.
