FORGIVENESS

During Jesus time on earth, not less than one time He reminds his followers about forgiving each fellow man. An illustration He made: If a man hurts you seven times a day. Each time that man hurts you he asks for forgiveness. Jesus said, you must forgive that person. A little bit curious, Peter asked: "Does it mean that we must forgive a person up to seven times a day?" Jesus replied: "Not only seven times but seventy times seven times."

From this message we learn a lesson that we must forgive each others' sin continuously without any condition. Often we human being have conditions in forgiving others. The first time a person hurts us, we say: its alright. The second time, we said: you should be careful. The third time he hurts, we said to him: Don't you ever hurt me again or else I will hurt you back. This situation happens to each and everyone of us. Our condition of forgiving others is limited to three times.

Let us think about Jesus when He was hang on the cross where people hurled curses on him beside hurting his body. Do you know what was His reply? "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do." In the same way when Stephen was stoned to death. Before he breathed his last he cried out in a loud voice: "Lord, do not charge them with this sin." Jesus and Stephen set two examples for us to follow. Not to keep people's wrong deeds but to be reconciled to each other.

Forgive means to humble oneself to each other or to say "sorry". If we submit ourselves to each other as Jesus submit himself by allowing people to nail him on the cross, there will be peace in this world.

Finally, learn to forgive and to bless others.

Human Being

Fighting and quarreling occur everywhere,
Killing his fellow man become a normal activity,
Triumphant...yet losing ones life, a person, God creation,
God created man in His own image,
But...why killing and destroying each other?

Who are you to destroy God's creation?
Do you know that killing means murder?
What is the penalty for murdering?
Do you know that you are responsible upon your brother's blood?

A set of law is made,
To bring to justice the convicted one.
It is not wrong for the law to hold a knife,
To punish the convicted one.

The bible said:
Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities,
for there no authority except that which God has established.
For rulers hold no terror for those who do right
but for those who do wrong.

But if you do wrong, be afraid,
for he does not bear the sword for nothing.

Salvation

Celebrate Jesus Christ’s Glorious Resurrection

I often ask myself where I’d be today had I not met Jesus in 1972. Frankly, I don’t even want to think about it, for my life would be empty now and meaningless.

I’ve said to the Lord numerous times, “It would have been better to never have been born than to not have met You.”

He has given my life glorious meaning and fulfillment and satisfied me beyond measure.

Truly the richest man without Jesus is poor, and the poorest man with Jesus is rich. The songwriter said it beautifully when he wrote:

You are my everything,
You are my all;
You are my everything
Both great and small.
You gave Your life for me
And made everything new.
Jesus, You are my everything,
And I love you.

The World Longs for His Peace
Millions of men, women, and children around the world are starving for this glorious peace that you and I know on a daily basis. This peace that passes all understanding—this peace that you and I have known since our salvation—is what humanity is crying for. And the joy that you and I know daily is what the world is crying for continually.

Think about the billions of dollars humanity spends looking for joy and peace, yet this joy and peace comes only through Jesus. And somebody’s got to tell them.

That somebody is you and me.

For the Lord has called you and me to preach the glorious Gospel of salvation to the nations, and truly our time is running out.

This message from Benny Hinn Ministry really touches me. I feel that there is some one outside there who needs to share the blessing of this message with me.

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.

No Time For God

Exam is approaching, time is precious. Day and night seem precious for revision. No time to play. No time for recreation and no time to pray.
Who are you to behave in such manner? Don't you know that your are more precious than gold?
Time wait no man. But Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all the things will be added unto you.
Not all who say God! God! will enter into the Kingdom of God, but he who does the will of the Father in heaven.

The Truth Is Up There

Once upon a time there was a wise king.
Two prostitutes were living in that area, sharing the same house with their two sons.
Now the two prostitutes brought their difficult problem to the king.
Told the king that her alive son was taken from her while she was asleep.
Given her a dead one in exchange.
Each claimed: "the alive one in my son and the dead one is hers."
The wise king took a sword to cut the alive son into two, one part each.
The mother whose son was alive said, "give her the son, don't kill him."
But the other said, "neither I nor you have him. Cut him in two!"
The gave his ruling: "Give the living baby to the first woman. Do not kill him; she is his mother."

Men ruled over men with men-made rules.
It meant to keep peace and order.
But the true peace and order come from God who rules over mankind from up there.

The Wings of Protection

Temptation comes and go in our daily live. It is the pros and cons of live.
At times we overcome it and say "because of my strength and wisdom"; but at other times we give way to temptation. That's the time we curse God saying "Why is there no God helping me." We are wrong, anyway. We ought to mirror ourselves to God's word. As children on God, Jesus promised in His word that He will always gives us strength whenever we are tempted. Thus we need to surrender our live to Him. He is our God, the redeemer, the live giver and the protector. God promised in the bible saying:

"No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it." (1 Corinthians 10:13)

Oh... what a wonderful promise indeed.

Heightened Intensity to God’s Leading

Here's a message from Benny Hinn Ministry:

This will be a year when you will have greater supernatural guidance than ever before.

Todd says, “The Bible talks about the Holy Spirit as the Paraclete, the one who desires to take you by the hand and lead you where you need to go. He is the one who brings all things to your remembrance. He is the one who empowers you. He is the one who gives you deputized authority. And it is time that the Holy Spirit is the strongest and loudest and clearest voice in your life!”

What a wonderful promise we have: “And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the Lord, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel” (Isaiah 45:3).

The Lord wants to lead you to riches in secret places. He knows where the opportunities are. He knows where the ideas and concepts are.

If you will learn to listen to Him, especially as you then learn to respond through your faith, He will show you what you should do, the roads you should take, and the doors you should walk through.

He is ready to intensify His leading in 2009!
