mengeracau...

is it just me or suddenly a lot of people are against Israel?

it's like people going crazy... cut here and there, march here and there, shout here and there, benci here and there, kawad kiri kanan kiri...

oh, Israel... a small nation... and it's like the whole world is going to swallow you up...


but the amazing and wonderful thing is... Israel is not going to vanish... some mysteries people just couldn't understand...

Psalms 119:129-136

Psalms 119:129-136 (The Message)

Every word you give me is a miracle word—
how could I help but obey?

Break open your words, let the light shine out,
let ordinary people see the meaning.

Mouth open and panting,
I wanted your commands more than anything.

Turn my way, look kindly on me,
as you always do to those who personally love you.

Steady my steps with your Word of promise
so nothing malign gets the better of me.

Rescue me from the grip of bad men and women
so I can live life your way.

Smile on me, your servant;
teach me the right way to live.

I cry rivers of tears
because nobody's living by your book!



here is another version of the verses...


Psalms 119:129-136 (Amplified Bible)

129Your testimonies are wonderful [far exceeding anything conceived by man]; therefore my [penitent] self keeps them [hearing, receiving, loving, and obeying them].

130The entrance and unfolding of Your words give light; their unfolding gives understanding (discernment and comprehension) to the simple.

131I opened my mouth and panted [with eager desire], for I longed for Your commandments.

132Look upon me, be merciful unto me, and show me favor, as is Your way to those who love Your name.

133Establish my steps and direct them by [means of] Your word; let not any iniquity have dominion over me.

134Deliver me from the oppression of man; so will I keep Your precepts [hearing, receiving, loving, and obeying them].

135Make Your face shine [with pleasure] upon Your servant, and teach me Your statutes.

136Streams of water run down my eyes, because men do not keep Your law [they hear it not, nor receive it, love it, or obey it].




Psalms 119 is very, how to say, good la... really lack of words...
read it out last Sunday evening... hmm, the longest chapter in the Bible eh...

there are many kept me thinking and 'menikmati ayat-ayatnya'... wonderful...
then Psalms 119:130 is the one i keep thinking till now...

unfolding of His Words... gives light... gives understanding to the simple... so called the rhema word... transforming our thoughts, thinking patterns, renewing & restoring our mind from the 'lies' we consciously & unconsciously absorb throughout the life, the lies of the world...
what a joy to know the One God, His Words give the excitement and wonders in heart of the listeners...

hey mates, there's only one Truth here, get on hold of it tightly, never lose it!
He said "I am the Truth, the Way and the Life..."

you know, He=Yeshua haMesshiach







Abbah, God of the universe
watching all things happening under the sky, among the people
all things happen with Your divine permission, according to Your will...
everything and everyone is moving around You, as the centre. it's all about You...
Faithful God, keeping Your promises even till today, You never fail... even though our mind cannot fathom Your ways, we wanna trust in Your will...

who are we to complain about what people call bad lucks, accidents, woes... often we want good things, 'good lucks' from You, why not we also accept the 'bad things' from You, with contentment?
we sigh upon looking at those news, happenings around us... murders, rapes, corruptions, frauds, deaths, disasters, climate changes... politics...? injustice...? foolishness...?...homosexuality... ah... too much... sigh~~

the world is corrupted... worse and worse... seems like there is no HOPE everywhere, no TRUTH can be found... nowhere is safe so it seems! many got drifted by the current of the world, overlooked the lifeline which has been thrown down to them from above the heavens...
"we cannot do a thing to change... it's like that... what to do... i know, don't talk about these anymore... shhhhh..."

Your Kingdom is near, the everlasting Kingdom of Yours...
and it's time now for people to be awaken from deep sleep, eyes be opened to see, ears to hear the Truth. a new heart to understand...
"TODAY, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion..."
Help us, LORD to speak forth for You... for we know much of our own words are not matched with Your one true Word, because You know everyone the best. everyone created in You, through You, for You...

give us the understanding to read Your Words, that we may grow stronger each day, renewed every morning... that there's a joy and peace surpasses our own understanding, even in the storms of life... for we know better and better who You are, how tender and sweet You are, how strict and just You are... everything is about You... oh, Your Words i crave in the deepest of my being...

Your Words is LIFE! the light i need! the slumber of assurance, the confidence to live...

God of Mercy, Loving Abbah, Wonderful Jesus, Gentle Spirit... :) unfolding Your Words so that many lives see the light... so that the simple understands... life will never be the same again! let the knowledge of the LORD flood the earth...

honour and glory is to You. the authority is Yours. Your Kingdom is forever.
thank You for the gift You give
thank You for being faithful
thank You for the Truth you unveiled
thank You...

in Yeshua's super duper name, we pray, amen...

food for thought...

1 Timothy 6:3-10 (NIV)

3If anyone teaches false doctrines and does not agree to the sound instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ and to godly teaching,

4
he is conceited and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy interest in controversies and quarrels about words that result in envy, strife, malicious talk, evil suspicions

5
and constant friction between men of corrupt mind, who have been robbed of the truth and who think that godliness is a means to financial gain.

6But godliness with contentment is great gain.

7For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it.

8But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that.

9People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction.

10For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.

stories continue... RapidKL u40...

oh well... there are a lot of stories to tell and it's fun to watch the people around!
a lot of 'kerenah' and 'gelagat'... the facial expressions, the talks, the body languages etc...

and, yea it takes averagely 3 hours for me to travel back and forth Kajang-KL every weekday.
many of the times, i sleep... if im awake, woohoo... interesting things can be observed!

i ah, actually have some of the things i wanted to post up here a few months ago, but tak jadi, malas la, like too many things... like usual, don't know where to start... hmm...

orite, i met 'orang gila' in the bus before, 'orang mabuk', 'couple tak senang hati', 'couple jiwang', 'orang muntah', 'orang tidur' ... eheheh... many kinds... FUN! i'm 'orang tidur', until the bus stopped at the terminal and the driver called me, i was like 'gosh! sleep like bab1, dah sampai pun tak sedar!...'

there was one time, i got on the bus, then a guy sat a row in front of me. after that, came a man sitting across that guy's seat. that man took out his phone, called "hallo... hallo... bla bla bla", hung up. he then talking to himself, with his hand gestures...

the earlier guy looked at him with 'what is dat man doing??!~~~ orang gila ka nih?' face... and i was looking at them too. that guy then turned to me with his face and i smiled back at him, amused with them.

next, came a big guy sitting besides me, took out his gadgets, busy playing games, tilting his phone side to side, up and down... not long after that the bus was nearly filled.

during stops, more people coming in, until one lady (quite short, quite gempal) squeezed in from front to the back, just to sit in between the back seats which is 'seatless', knowing that nobody would sacrifice his/her precious butts to sit on the 'dirty' platform. so she comfortably sit there, "ah, good seat... no need to stand... yesh~~~"

the bus was crowded... oh yea, i remembered, that night was a special night for Indians, because i saw those Indians wearing their best around KL area as well as those in the bus, but i don't know what was it...

and... there was a 'girl', i say a 'girl' la, can't really judge her age from her look, but from the way she dresses, 20-30 years old punya la... magically, she sat next to the 'presumably gila' man. wow~~~

as the bus moved along, not long after that, that girl searched something in her bag. TADAA~~~ a NAIL CLIPPER!... so she clipped and clipped and clipped her finger nails while the bus swaying side to side... 'click.... click... fuuuh~~~' there she goes...

the big guy sitting next to me (also next to that 'seatless' lady), suddenly 'hmmpphhh~~~' (breathing out throught his nostril like melepaskan angin ribut taufan, well at least to that lady...) and the lady quickly 'terase' angin ribut taufan hit her left shoulder and face, i suppose, that she turned her head to 'jeling' her 'WOI! your nafas don't blow here ah! i'm clean ok, fatty' eyes... then she 'swept' her shoulder and made the 'displeasing' sound, 'TSSSK!', sengaja for him to notice

but, too bad, he was too into the game, he didn't notice. he was wearing earphones too! ahahah...
then, for the second time, the lady, same reaction but this time, her composure changed, really like tak puas hati, sit also like tauke or gangster 'u... wanna fight ah? huh! i'm the big boss here, know!' style... taking out a 'minyak angin' from her bag, vigorously and 'kejam'ly sapu the 'minyak cap kapak' onto her 'lobang hidung' and 'kawasan-kawasan yang sewaktu dengannya'...

the big guy still on his game... quietly tilting the phone...

another scene, one Indian man standing next to his friend's seat. it was very crowded. but there was another man/lady (forgot already) squeezed in between that Indian man and the other unknown human being. so rase tak senang, the Indian man showed his 'i tak senang ur body sapu'ing my body like dat, u know...' look, and he kinda like complained to his friend in Tamil, i think it's Tamil la...

ok, that's about all in one trip!

humans... ahhh~~~ very interesting creatures! they are very amusing! it's true many who we don't feel like 'loving' them, thinking 'how to love that fella??! ... not worth my love...', 'hey, i don't like you, look at your face also i tak suke...'

haih... SIGH~~~... thinking so superior than other people... oh my, corrupted relationships! many are looking for relationships which are genuine, comfortable, reliable, trustworthy, with LOVE, some wants 'i feel good', 'what can i gain from this?' kind of relationships...

LOVE in Hebrew, 'ahava', consists of two words, 'I' and 'give'. Love means 'I give...', not 'you give me, so i feel better, i feel loved, i feel important, i feel worthy, and i deserve it bla bla bla - it's all about ME'!

God is LOVE... that's what the Scriptures tell us, that's what the people say, that's what we hear... 'we ought to love... not hate...', 'we have to love... even our enemies', talking about love this and love that, showing love to him, her, to the world, yada yada yada... but how far do we understand the LOVE?

how deep?
how high?
how long?
how wide?

the most precious of God, He gave to us, to redeem the relationships, God to the people, people to people... the Gift He gave, Jesus Christ, 'dabao' with forgiveness, healing, freedom, wealth, deliverance, joy, health, peace, mercy, salvation, life... it's a gift... G.. I.. F.. T.. no string attached..
that is how God loves, He gives... like a father gives the best to his children, what more to God!

unlike humans, God doesn't measure or judge first our deeds, our thoughts, our words, our self before He wants to accept and love us??! NO...

Thank God! Praise God, oh my soul for you have found such a Person, rather, you have been found by that Wonderful Person... He isn't far high above the sky in the universe, He is close to you heart, waiting to have fellowship with you in your private room, no matter how messy your room is! ... Thank You... Jesus... the promised Saviour of God...


I will run to the hiding place
...

I will run to the hiding place
...

Draw me ever closer to look upon Your face
...

I will run to the hiding place
...



You are my hiding place
my comfort, my refuge, my rest, my shield, my joy, my strength

what a wonderful Sunday...

yesterday, we went to Zoe Christian Fellowship for ICM work! ahahha, yea 'working' on weekend.

the highlight was during my way back to Kajang...
woohoo! got on the bus (Pasar Seni LRT station) around 2.30pm! (we left the church at about 1.45pm...)

here's a story, last 2 weeks, we had the same work at different church. about the same time we left and reached KL central, BUT since i was there, i decided to take the commuter back to Kajang, a silly thought! dat time, it was about 2.30pm i think... after getting down to the platform, how regretted i was, it was packed with people! twice the trains were sardine-packed, i gave up to squeeze in until the third one came and i got on. it was 4.30pm!

and so, this time wanted to be smart, i took the LRT to Pasar Seni, "I dont wanna take KTM... better take RapidKL u40 back to Kajang, faster and no nid to main rugby with people..."

fuuh~~~ everything was good! a few people only in the bus, and it was comfortable, with cool chilling air-con... was sitting at the back seat... took out my jacket and wore it, ready to sleep...

ah~~~ cool... the traffic was kinda jammed... but it's fine with me...

then in my sleep, someone knocked on the window screen next to me. i noticed everyone's gone! RAPTURE! nah~~~ they wanna switch bus... weird... and i was the last person to get down, because i was sleeping! woohoo!

"why didnt the people at least wake me up before getting down ler?? walao... sampai me selesa tidur thr until RapidKL guy knocked the window screen..."

ok, so i got on, this bus, a lot of people already... many were standing... "oh no, no more seat, cannot sleep already!... aiya..." BLING~~~ i saw a seat right behind! fuuh~~~ "YESSS!!! sleep!"

we were at Cheras batu9. and we moved on...

along the way, i saw one RapidKL stopped by the roadside.. "eh, what happened today ah? why RapidKL bus like this punya, mogok ka? engine got problem ah? apahal nih?"

then, another one!... "this is weird! 3 buses 'not in operation'... what is dis?"

orite... came the exciting part, when a car, more like a MPV, came next to the bus, on a small lane... i dont know who was at fault la, in this matter...

then the car like hampir kena langgar (kena kepit) by the bus, so it slowed down and the bus driver noticed dat too... the car advanced forward up to the bus driver and then the car went to in front and somehow like slowed down his car, it was like wanna pick up fight, you know, like wanna challenge with the bus la...

out of a sudden, it stopped! the bus stopped too... people inside terkejut, 'wooo~~~', 'oii~~~', 'waa~~~'... dats wat i heard fr them la...

the car driver came out, called the bus driver to come out to 'talk'... and the bus driver got down!
they talked, talked, and talked... i heard the bus kena slammed, again the passengers 'oi.. oi.. oik~~~!', 'apa nih~~~!...' all sorts of sounds, many stood up, moved to the front to watch... there was a lady shouted quite loud, it was making the whole scene 'big' la... so 'fun'... eheheh...

not until long, some motorcyclists, cars stopped by to watch the real-life drama... many in the bus with confused, 'what is this man~~ den smile and chuckle' face... talked with each other... whose fault is this, discussing with hand gestures like, u know the hip hop dancers or wateverr dancers they move their hands up & down, slide & tick, sway & fold, den like octopus hands fling here & thr... u know rite... dats how they did in trying to explain the car and the bus...

tiba-tiba, the guy punched the bus driver... he fell, and the guy kicked him some more... and the people just 'cheer leading' there, only after a while some came to their senses and ran to stop the fight... wa~~~ that guy in singlet really like mad man!!! can really sense the rage, the hatred, the 'hati tak senang', the 'api', the 'macho wanna punch u till death & i feel happily ever after' exuding from the scene... walao!

well, i didnt get to see the whole 'drama'... u know wat... i was still sitting thr, looking at the people... and the guy sitting next to me, he got up and went to the front, i think he wanted to shout 'cut' to the scene, i think only la, so taking this opportunity, i switched my seat with him... so i got to sit by the window! how cunning i am! gosh~~~

'who will be the peacemaker?' i thought to myself... looking at myself, and the people around, 'sigh~~~'

the end...

by Kathryn Kuhlman...

... One day, I looked up and said...

"Wonderful Jesus, I have nothing I can give You but my love. ... That's all that I can give You...

I offer my body as the living sacrifice... And if You can take nothing and use it, then use nothing... take it..."

It is not the silver vessel that He's asking for, it is not the golden vessel that He needs... He just needs yielded vessel...

5 C's

the popular 5 C's...

- Cash
- Car
- Credit Card
- Condominium
- Country Club (membership)

"... It arose as a popular joke based on certain truths attesting to the unstated Singaporean cultural ethos of materialistic obsession and aspiration to achieve these things in order to impress others, both socially, economically and sociologically." [Wikipedia]

well, today in the ICM office, don't know how we get to this 5 C's topic... oh, i remembered, we talked about getting married, and people nowadays somehow are looking for this 5 C as the criteria for their perfect match, bla bla bla... (coz i'm the only 'bachelor' thr -.-''', sengaja tu)

then, sampat here and there... so keluar la hikmat... the wisdom among the trashy jokes:

"we need one C, enough already... Christ Jesus... having C + Grace, we have all the richness and abundance..."

so, one C above all the other C's... Christ Jesus...

ok, Good day!
