giants are bread for us part 2...

hi tian jie is back! muahaha...

erm..it's quite amazin leh..i mean it's so divine, it's so Goddddd....

cos today pastor preached on the twelve spies who went into the promised land and onli two of them came back wif good report, of which were joshua n caleb lah...

ya..n i was onli sharin wif jia mei last nite abt how i see my job situation as giants and it is actually bread for me. hence the title...

ya...so to carry on wif yesterday's topic and to ease the minds of fellow siblings in Christ who are concerned for me n my work...

do we have to put ourselves in situations to learn from them?

muahahaha...

well personally, i feel that we as physical individuals are subjected to this world mah..so it is inevitable that we are always faced wif life challenges, so called 'reality' of this world. hence rite, it is not us that put ourselves in situations but rather, the situations are always around us.

i take the example of my jaywalkin accident lah. i din have a choice to say tt i din want the accident to happen but it does happen. so wat after tt? do i blame God for nt protectin me? i mean i have the 'right' to, cos Jesus paid the price alreadi mah..wat for whoever send a hyundai getz to knock me down??? is it fair? doesnt tt break God's covenant wif me?

i am askin the wrong qns obviously cos even if i found out the answers, it doesnt heal my physical wounds n injuries. basically, tryin to find out the cause of this accident doesnt help me at all spiritually as well.

like wat pastor preached today, thnk God even for the five fish n two loaves of bread, cos they will go on to bless many others. dun look to the little that u have... i dun need to blame the driver...i dun want to find out why i was knocked down....

most imptly...do i know tt God is still for me n not vs me?

assuredly i say to u...He will never leave you nor forsake you.

i learn lo...i learn tt God still loves me, Jesus loves me...wat is there to fear in this life? my source of provision...be it health or wealth, spirit, soul or body...my Jesus has provided on the cross...

be anxious for nothing. lean not on ur own understandin but in all things give thnks to the Lord for He is good and His mercies endure forever! amen!

quite amazing...i was in a semi conscious state one particular morning, havin heard my mum wakin me up, and the Lord showed me this ultra cool picture...of a man hanging on the cross on a dark n stormy day...and suddenly there were other pieces that were floatin towards that picture...it's like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle fittin in by themselves...and the pic of the man was in the middle of the jigsaw puzzle...

this might sound a bit cliche...

aniwaes...the pieces were shiny...almost white..they were quite bright lah..onli the pic of the cross was v dark...ya..but sumhow the pieces were attracted, magnetised by the centre piece...

i guess u guys know wat i drivin at lah..

ya...put Jesus in the centre of ur life loh...the rest of it will jus follow...

seriously i have heard this alot of times being preached..but i got to see it for myself in a divine manner...i mean it's v different lah...

it's jus my Abba's way for showin me the rest loh..jus enjoyin my walk wif Jesus everyday...things n situations will come one..but be joyous cos God has alreadi settled it...nt tt bad situations will not happen...they still will...but it's not u who handles it...u r jus an observer, a passerby who sees the things that are happening and u learn n gather info frm it...

i like wat pastor preached today..we are in a different realm... a different dimension...

pastor mark oso mentioned b4 that our stay here is temporal...

we are called to shine n show the rest of the world who Jesus is, thru the way we carry ourselves, nt self effort, but His manifestations over our lives, that the world may see our Jesus.

ya..actually i say so much cos i dun wan pple to think tt i am v stressed over my job now. i am still enjoyin it..the food n the slackness..haha...jus that God has provided me a better job lo...my time over here as an observer, to observe my boss who's fengshui possessed, my supervisor who's literally senile and my colleague who's so much fear in his life, has come to an end...i hope i left sumthin for them...job description as a food photographer was actually jus a cover up...

i am a spy for God...i am a Joshua and a Caleb...i choose to see bad circumstances as bread... not onli for me to grow financially but oso in terms of my character, perserverance. ya...

i believe watever i've learnt will be brought forward to other observation lessons loh...

shalom...:)

giants are bread for us

wow...wat an eventful day! -_-'''

supposed to go oasis in the evenin but gt held back by ms G meimei to attend campus. so in the end, instead of listenin to ps lawrence preach abt divine frenships, enjoyed praise n worship in campus. so different! indeed they are makin a difference! muahaha...

gt this segment where ps chin prayed for all the men in the hse. initially i din want to go up cos abit paiseh, coa dun belong to campus liao..but sumhow...coach leslie came up to me n dragged me to the front where all the guys arm locked n ps chin prayed over us. i dun understd wat's mantle..mus ask bro loo again..there was sumthin abt pimple oso..God knows i have a pimple beside my eye right now..

on the way back, a precious sister shared this particularly weird story wif me...i shall call her N meimei...sumhow i have become tian jie n all the sisters are moi meimeis...sumhow..okie..back to the topic...the story is abt this drownin man who kept askin God for help, despite the fact tt there was a boat n a plane which offered to save him...so in the end, he drowned.

hmmm...havin heard this, i scratched my head as i tried to find a relation between me n the drownin man...nothin...i couldnt figure wat N meimei was sayin...muahaha..i guess everybody wants me to move on to the next job lah...i'm not sayin who's right or wrong..n i sincerely appreciate everyone's concern for me lo! woohoo! thnk God for precious siblings in Christ!

ya..so the question at the end of the day remains...do i have to put myself in a situation to learn from it???

pls stay tuned...cos tian jie is v tired alreadi...have to wake up early tmw to send jia mei n my bro to first service...

go think abt it...write a blog abt it...preach abt it..share...

wat followed was even more amazing lo...there was the flow n everything was so smooth la even though we only managed to sing like 2 songs..the cgl was a bit puzzled when i told there were onli 2 lah...ya..but after tt she commented she could 'feel' the anointin lo, e.g. hands numb, shaking...it was a good confirmation la taken tt i felt ir too..so really THANK ABBA!
