Matthew 6:33

“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” 

One of my favourite hymns in church recently - Seek Ye First.

Has it ever come across your mind what does seeking Him first means?

It means putting His commandments, His desires, His love, His words first. It should be the center of who we are and who we desire to be. Simply put, it is to prioritise Him.

It is always easier to be said than done. How do we ensure that we constantly seek Him first in our daily life? Sometimes, I find myself only seeking him in my free time, or in times of need. It is easy to think that oh God will understand, God will forgive. But do I really want it this way? Or rather, is this something that God wants to see?

In verse Matthew 6:33, it is clear that as long as we seek Him first, all these things shall be added unto us. He has prepared blessings that are ready to be given to us, to be added to us, as long as we seek Him. He knows what we need, and He knows what He wants to be in our lives.

Everything will fall into place at God's time and method when we follow His way.

Proverbs 20:22

04:40:00 Child of God 0 Comments



Say not thou, I will recompense evil;
but wait on the Lord, and he shall save thee.

When another person disappoints us, betrays our trust or breaks our heart, it can be maddening, unfair and agonizing to feel so victimized, while the perpetrator is seemingly free from the deep heartache of the circumstance.

More often than not, we think that we will feel better if the person who incites the pain then experiences the pain too, it is certainly not a godly one. We are not responsible for their convictions, or for creating consequences for their actions. We should consider this as a freedom from responsibility.

We have our own grief and pain to overcome, but this does not mean that we have to put others through the same pain that they've put us into.

Let God take over in that arena. We don't have to bother with revenge!

Prayer Meeting 17/03/2016

21:29:00 Child of God 0 Comments




About 9 months ago, God opened a new career path for me. Ever since I started working in this organisation, I soon realise that the work hours does not allow me to participate in the church’s weekly prayer meeting. Prayer Meeting has been special in my heart. Why? When I first accepted Christ, prayer meeting is the only way that I get to go to church and fellowship with the others as my parents were disapproving of me attending church services. Only in late 2014, I managed to attend regular service on a weekly basis.

Yesterday, we had to drive in to Malaysia to fetch the Pastor, who was preaching that evening, back to Singapore. By God’s grace, I was able to knock off slightly earlier, provide medications for my dog at home, and even made it to church on time despite the downpour and massive jam at peak hours.

After the service, we took some quick bites with the Pastor at a nearby cafeteria. He was sharing why he chose to be a missionary, why he gave up his pilot career, why he shifted all the way from Singapore to China, and why he left everything to God.

“It was God’s calling,” he said.
“How do you know?” I prompted. I was anxious to find out more. How do people know that that’s the path that God wants them to take?
“It was very natural. Even though I failed Mandarin in my school days, I found myself immersing and having fellowship with the Chinese community. God closed all other paths for me. When I told him that I will go where you want me to go, he opened the path to go to China. That was how I know. It was difficult, leaving the career that I had built all my life, leaving my children behind, leaving the country, but I leave it all to God.”
He was in his late thirties when he made the decision. His biggest regret? Not becoming a missionary earlier.

How about me?

 Have I been listening hard enough to hear God’s calling? How can I further serve the Lord in the way that he wants me to?

But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
