Archives for “Holy Spirit”
I am a Christian, since when I was 15. I accepted Christ when a schoolmate shared with me about Christ daily while we were heading to school. I only accepted my water baptism and baptism of Holy Spirit when I was 25. So what happened in that span of 10 years? I continued my faith [...]
In life, sometimes we forgot to thank God for a day that we are live. Often we might have taken God for granted. Although I am pretty discipline in reading His words and having my personal devotion on daily basis, but today’s incident of the road accident, I can only say and in fact I [...]
Don’t get me wrong. I am not unveiling what is NSFW blog entry. Also, don’t get so excited, if any of you are, at the moment. Take a deep breath. You are not seeing Samuel Tan in nude. I was thinking what was the fuss when the tour manager mentioned no clothes, not even swimming [...]
My colleague, Retna and I were at client’s place to clean up terrible mess left by one of the irresponsible partner, anyway, that mess is sorted and now not a problem, but an opportunity for us. While driving back, Retna and I talked a lot about our Christian life, our faith in God, what we [...]
Something which I have been struggling for few months, I finally put a stop to it. It’s hard for me to carry on a Godly task, which I never wanted to take on last year. Before I carry on to the next year, I asked God if I can leave the task to someone else. [...]
I am not an expert of daily devotion. Doing daily devotion, reading God’s word is an important routine of Christian. However, because many things influencing or rather taking our time away from God, we seldom able to read, and communicate with Him well. Psalm 119:105 > Your word is a lamp to my feet and [...]
Reading Proverbs 1:8-19 this morning, the first verse that spoke to me:- Listen, my son, to your father’s instruction and do not forsake your mother’s teaching. ~ Proverbs 1:8 Very often the parenting is looking on father for the teaching, but Proverbs has reminded us that the teaching from mother is equally important. Although in [...]
We went to Singapore on Monday. It was supposed to be a trip to Singapore Zoo, National Science Centre for Elijah, Ariel and Inez. However, they did not come with us to Singapore, because when they met the rest of their cousins at grandmother’s home in the morning, they changed their mind. They wanted to [...]
When I was doing my daily devotion yesterday, I could not do it in the SOAP method, because none of the passage spoke to me. I must be honest with God, can’t just a passage and so be it. Today, when I read 1 Samuel 26, David again spared Saul’s life. In 1 Samuel 26:11, [...]
It is interesting to read the Bible. Well, for Christians, it is the Word of God that shines our path & it is His words that encourages us when we are down, to guide us when we seek help, and of course shaping our life, how we should be. Reading 1 Samuel, besides learning how [...]
公说公有理，婆说婆有理。 Ever been in a situation that both parties have something to say, and after they have said what was in their mind, we could not have any solution because neither party wants to come to solution. Quite often in a case of church raid, many non-Christians are watching how a Christian will react to [...]
A retreat pretty planned for some time. Like a year or more, but never take place. Many factors – timing, venues as well as it is really hard to have everyone together, at the same time. Praise the Lord, we did it, despite many challenges that Retna and I faced which would have crippled our [...]
Reading Ephesians in preparation of our home fellowship retreat is truly a God’s given joy and blessing. I read Ephesians 5:8-14 this morning, God is telling us not to hide the darkness, rather expose it. God does not just wants us to expose it and stop there, but He gives even better things, He gives [...]
God’s timing. 1 For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you Gentiles— 2 if indeed you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which was given to me for you, 3 how that by revelation He made known to me the mystery (as I have briefly written already, 4 by which, [...]
Done my morning devotion on Nehemiah chapter 4 and decided to have a short walk with Jackie dog. But was reminded of 2 important work tasks to be completed, so I did that first. By the time when I am done, Elijah was standing in front of me, asking if I will be going for [...]
I am just not too sure when was told to finish the entire Bible as part of the requirement of the deputy leader of Cinnamon Home Fellowship. Just to clarify, I did not nominate myself nor promote myself for the leadership, Poh Beng nominated me for the task, I took it after God gave me [...]
The power of social media as well as stupidity, took up many pages of newspapers over past few days. One report that I have read in Sin Chew, about the school senior assistant comment towards the victim, I would like to speak from a parent perspective, as I already the similar experience in the past, [...]
I started reading 1 Peter 1, 2 & 3 today for my daily devotion. The difference between reading the scriptures while at church and reading it for devotion purpose – the words became clearer and personalised from God. For “He who would love life And see good days, Let him refrain his tongue from evil, [...]
“Is that an iPad2?” senior pastor asked me this morning while at church. “It is iPad, first generation.” I replied. “Is that an iPad2?” a senior church leader asked. “No. Still using iPad, first generation.” I answered. “Do you know how Pastor XXX (to remain anonymous so to maintain the integrity of the said person) got his [...]
We woke up before 5am and left the house before 6am, arrived at Sentul Park before 6:30am. But the traffic was very heavy especially on the way to Alive Together Easter Sunrise Service 2011. Since we came prepared (with our running and walking shoes), we parked the car in VIVA Residency and walked over to [...]
Ok, you would probably asked, why on earth I am writing my daily devotion journal on paper, should be environmentally friendly, or aren’t I suppose to be technological incline – writing the devotion online, like a blog. Yes, I do write it occasionally on my blog, mainly when I do not have my journal with [...]
“I like about being able to experience what God wants me to do for Him in Urban Food Sharing. This experience allows me to know that there are many people who are in need of His love and care. But I dislike the place though. It is dirty and smelly.” Elijah said. “It is good [...]
Pudu was the bus interchange venue for me when I was in secondary school. Pudu Plaza was the hang out place for me after Taekwondo class on Saturday. Because we have a buddy whose parent was selling pork noodle in the hawker centre (which long gone now), before we placed ourselves in the video games [...]
Finally, with God’s grace and Retna’s wisdom, we found an experience ENT which is very close where we live. The ENT is so close, sharing the same building as our regular ophthalmologist. Had my CT scan read, explained and examined, he suggested I had some of the lump remove for biopsy. Sounds like a scary [...]
1 Corinthians 16:13 Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong. Let us practice the watching of ourselves, as well as for our love ones. Knowing that serving the Lord with others, especially serving those whom they think they are more deserving than us, let God grant us the mercy and patience, to [...]
