中文 Hebrews 13:1-2 NKJV Let brotherly love continue. Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some have unwittingly entertained angels.  ______________ There are spiritual angels as well as human angels. However, in this Scripture, a good and kind soul takes after the nature of an angel. When we treat someone, or someone treats us with brotherly or sisterly kindness, the love and kindness shown is like a sweet aroma that ascends to God. [ Ephesians 5:1-2 ] On the other hand, spiritual angels are ministering angels whom God sent to minister to those who inherit salvation [ Hebrews 1:14 ]. If you have already accepted Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, you are not exempt from the help of an angel of God in times of need.  Daniel was thrown into a lion's den. He was not killed because God sent an angel to shut the mouths of the lions. This prevented him from being hurt and devoured. [ Daniel 6:22 ] Two angels were sent to bring Lot (Abraham's nephew) and his family out ...

  This morning, after dropping off my son at his school, I drove to a nearby coffee shop to buy breakfast.   I came to a stall selling wanton noodles. It was still early, and no one was queuing. The stall looked clean and neat. The hot steam rising from the cooking pot made me decide to order a bowl of wanton noodles.    As usual, I ordered dried wanton noodles. While I observed and was fascinated by how fast the cook prepared the noodles, I thought, “How nice it would be if she could give me some soup!”  As I was just casually thinking, suddenly, the Holy Spirit said, “Ask her!” Hence, I followed as instructed and said, “Can you give me some soup?” The cook did not reply, but another elderly assistant said, “Cannot! We don’t give away soup.” I had been rejected flatly.    Immediately, I spoke to God and said, “ See! You asked me to ask, and she said No!”  I am like many others, already 40 over years of my walk with God, yet I am still learning to...

HOLY SPIRIT, TEACH ME   2 Timothy 3:14-15 (NKJV) But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them, 15 and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. Reading God’s Word is like treasure hunting. God’s Word is a precious treasure. When we read His Word, we are hunting for the Truth. Anything other than the Truth, such twisted truth, half-truth, and guileful words must be flung away immediately. Lest our body, soul, and spirit be polluted by them. Quote “All Scripture ought to be read in the spirit in which it was written. We must rather seek for what is profitable in Scripture, than for what ministereth to subtlety in discourse. Therefore, we ought to read books which are devotional and simple, as well as those which are deep and difficult. And let not the weight of the writer be a stumbling-block to thee, whether ...

  YOUR WORKS BE REVEALED   John 9:1-3 (NKJV) Now as Jesus passed by, He saw a man who was blind from birth. 2 And His disciples asked Him, saying, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” Jesus answered, “ Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but that the works of God should be revealed in him .    Like the disciples, we too surreptitiously wondered if a person’s illness or handicap was the result of his or his ancestors’ sins?   In the above Scriptures, Jesus addresses the disciples’ question by simply saying, “No one sinned. But that God could reveal His works (working, power, glory) in his (blind man) life.”   Jesus refused to discuss with the disciples who, what, or how the causes of the man’s blindness. HE stopped their mind mapping on the theoretical and complex issues. All Jesus wanted to do was to heal the blind man and help him regain his sight.   Indeed, not all sicknesses are the result of one’s sin or of th...

A FLIP FROM BAD TO GOOD   Psalm 139:4 Even before a word is on my tongue, behold, O  Lord , you know it altogether.     A few days before the event started, I made a trip to the meeting place to test if the projector and screen were properly fixed and working well.     The moment I stepped into the room, I was astonished and shocked. There was no screen on the wall, and no projector hung on the ceiling.   My mind was swirling, trying to think how I could fix the problem within a short span of time. A couple of ideas to do this or that were spawned quickly, one after another, in my mind. The event would be three days away, but there was no projector. It was disappointing that I didn’t come earlier. I had trusted their agreement to install the equipment.      While they walked away, I didn’t have a chance to ask them why there was no projector or screen. Perhaps they did say something to me, but I was not paying attention. My mind and...

  VENGEANCE IS MINE Yesterday, a friend shared an encouraging testimony.  Over the past few months, she had a hard time living with her sister, who is fussy and easily bothered by the trivial. They each have their own lives to manage, church, work, running errands, doing chores, and personal lives. They hardly get a chance to see each other often. However, each time they met, her sister showed unhappiness. She would bang the chair, making some sounds to indicate that she was in a bad mood. When asked what had happened, she ignored her. My friend quietly prayed to God for her sister.  This continued until one day, both were at home, and again her sister suddenly took a chair and banged it hard in front of her. She was frightened by her action and sudden outburst. She felt a chill run over her and was threatened by her uncouth demeanor. In addition, her eyes displayed strong hostility towards her. She had to quickly retreat to her room to pray as she felt that it was n...

  23 January 2023   I had a dream in three parts.   Part One I saw  K  in my dream. I saw her talking and sharing about something. I didn’t remember what she had shared. In my spirit, I was as though aware that she was sharing about her encounters or perhaps some troubling matters, her marriage issues.   Interpretation K  was my ex-colleague, and we worked in the same department. In real life,  K  has had some personal issues before, and her marriage to an unbeliever. K desires that her husband come to know the Lord one day.   Part Two In the dream, I was listening to  K  share about a dream she had. She said that after she woke up, she was already in Heaven. She said it was so fast, meaning one moment she was still on earth or sleeping, and the next, when she opened her eyes, she saw herself in the heavenly realm. She was so excited as she shared her dream with me, and not at all fearful of it. Then suddenly, I was brough...
