While we are celebrating Christmas and the birth of Christ, it is very important to invest time to know more about Jesus, who He is and why He came and His purpose on earth, isn't it?
He was born and placed in a manger, which is an obvious sign of His great sacrifice because a manger is used to place food to feed animals. He has said he is the bread of life and living water and the communion that we have is to remind us of His great sacrifice to give us salvation and everlasting life in God's kingdom!
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. - Luke 14:6
T.H.E. T.R.U.T.H.? is a great acronym for T-represents the cross of salvation, Healing, Express, Think, Rich, Universal laws, Time, Help and ? - represents asking the right questions to the right people to get the right results.
God is very real to me because He saved my life many times and He answers your prayers and questions in His own ways and in His own time. He is sovereign and almighty and is in control because if the earth move slightly off a few degrees towards the sun we will all end up being roasted by the sun!
Many times we questioned God, why so much suffering and injustice, why he allowed the atrocities and genocide in the Nanjing massacre by Japanese troops, the USA bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the deadly chemical warfare of Agent Orange used in the Vietnam war and now the biological warfare with viruses used by evil and heartless leaders to reduce the population of the world!
God knows everything, and He has made it very clear, “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the LORD. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. " - Isaiah 55: 8-9
Many times we wonder why God allows innocent old folks, women, children and babies to die in a natural disaster such as a tsunami, an earthquake and in wars or in a genocide?
My brother in Christ, Patrick, he shared a wise saying, "When you are on the second floor you cannot see what is on the third floor." You don't know what you don't know, isn't it?
These innocent old folks, women, children and babies who died could be in the loving arms of God and enjoying everlasting, joyful and meaningful life in God's kingdom, you can call this wishful thinking to console ourselves and to reduce the pain and suffering of the losses of loved ones or whatever you choose to believe in because people like to believe what they want to believe, isn't it?
And for the evil and heartless leaders who commit these sinful acts, God has made it very clear, "Vengeance is mine.' And the penalty of sin is burning in hell for eternity!
Hell is happening right now, not getting what you want or wanting to do something that you cannot do. Many people are experiencing hell with constipation or certain sickness that incapacitate them, they cannot do what they want to do and suffering from lingering pain! Always count your blessings if you are in good health, you can see, hear and walk and not suffering from pain.
Many of these evil and heartless leaders die a painful and slow death and there is the second death which is burning in hell for eternity! I am also writing this to warn the the evil leaders to stop their evil ways, to repent and seek salvation now!
These evil and heartless leaders have placed money, power and their selfish interests first before people's precious lives. The fastest way to stop the wars and have peaceful agreements is for the United Nations to have this powerful international law, to get the leaders to get into a Mixed Martial Arts fighting cage and fight, and may the winner win the war!
This will prevent hundreds of thousands of soldiers and innocent civilians from dying in a war and also prevent homes and building from being destroyed. And the billions of dollars saved from bombs, fighter jets and weapons can be used to help the millions of homeless in the streets of USA and in many countries! I pray this powerful international law will be imposed soon to have peace and prosperity for all people in this world!
Here is my testimony on how God answered my question to the letter! I was at the Armenian Church which was built in 1835, the oldest church in Singapore. I love to spend quiet moments at this church because most of the time it is empty except for a few tourists who came to visit this heritage place.
I often come to this church because of Psalm 46:10 - He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” I want to spend silent moments with God.
It was a miracle to me and very dramatic! I was on my knees with my old King James Bible that I bought in an antique store for a dollar in 1979, 45 years ago when I was a student at Washington State University in Pullman, USA. I spoke to God sincerely with all my heart, I asked Him to tell me what is the most important message because at that time I didn't read the bible much.
I opened the bible and He led my finger to Matthew 22: 37-40:
"Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets."
If the world leaders follow God's great commandment, we will have world peace and prosperity, isn't it? And God has made his commandment so clear and to the point.
Praise the Lord! Hallelujah!
T - represents the cross of salvation.
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." - John 3:16
H - Healing - I love this wonderful gospel song, "Because He Lives" and the lyrics are so meaningful. Yes, he came to love, heal and forgive...
[Verse 1]
G C
God sent His son, they called Him, Jesus;
G D D7
He came to love, heal and forgive;
G G7 C
He lived and died to buy my pardon,
G D G
An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives!
[Chorus]
G G7 C
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,
G D
Because He lives, all fear is gone;
G C G C
Because I know He holds the future,
G
And life is worth the living,
D G
Just because He lives!
Express - You must express the fruits of the Holy Spirit if you want to be happy, healthy and wealthy and more importantly to seek salvation because you want to live an everlasting, joyful and meaningful life in God's kingdom!
The fruits of the Holy Spirit are Love, Joy, Faithfulness, Kindness, Goodness, Gentleness, Peace, Patience and Self-Control.
Think - Jesus said, "Follow me." If you want to be a disciple of Jesus, think like Jesus and act like Jesus, express the fruits of the Holy Spirit because when Jesus walked on earth, he expressed the fruits of the Holy Spirit.
"Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things." - Philippians 4:8
You've heard it many times that God is love and love is God, haven't you? Here's the best definition of love from God!
1 Corinthians 13
New International Version
If I speak in the tongues[a] of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast,[b] but do not have love, I gain nothing.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
Rich - You must be rich in body, mind and spirit. Don't fall for worldly sins such as greed, lust, jealousy and all the evil thoughts and actions that separates you from God.
"What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul." - Matthew 16:26
I highly recommend you watch the YouTube video on the popular gospel song "House of Gold" sung by Hank Williams.
To lose your soul is to burn in hell for eternity, and this gospel song "House of Gold" is a wake up call to the evil and heartless leaders who are hoarding their billions, silver and gold knowing that one day they will die and have to leave all behind! They can't take a cent with them and have to face the Judgment of God on Judgment Day!
Many of these evil and heartless leaders are very old, already one leg or one and half leg in the coffin! And they have not wake up to this reality that sooner or later they must die!
"The only good is knowledge and the only evil is ignorance." - Socrates
Universal laws - If you want to be happy, healthy and wealthy while you are living on earth, always work with these five powerful and proven universal laws given by the almighty God to guarantee our success on earth.
The Law of Cause and Effect - What you sow you shall reap - what goes around comes around in your business and your life.
The Law of Attraction - What you constantly think and feel passionate about, you'll create a powerful magnetic force that will attract certain people, events and things to your life to help you get what you want.
The Law of Giving and Receiving - The more you give, the more you'll receive. And God loves a cheerful giver.
The Law of Averages - You must do enough and do it long enough to get what you want in life.
The Law of Multiplication - All you need is a few good leader or benefactors or business mentors to help you grow rich in body, mind and spirit.
Time - Your life on earth is finite, temporary and transitory. The cold hard truth is that sooner or later you must die. If you are alive past 70 years, do count your blessings and invest more time to know God, He made it very clear, "Be still and know that I am God."
Invest quiet time to read the Bible every morning when you wake up and before you sleep and meditate on God and His greatness, and His wonderful blessings. Always be grateful and thankful for your blessings because gratitude is the law of abundance, you get more of what you are grateful for!
God is always with you with every breath you take. He is sovereign and life and death lies in His hands. Your life is not over until God says it's over! Treasure the precious time you have with your loved ones and friends and always be kind to others whenever you can because Jesus made it very clear.
Help - Loving, caring and sharing is helping people to live a better life, and more importantly to know the Good News. When you know something good or great that will benefit others greatly, it is your moral obligation to share it with as many people as possible, isn't it?
“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
“Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’
“They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’ -
“He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’ - Matthew 25:40-45
And always remember God's great commission.
"Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”- Matthew 28: 19-20
? - represents asking the right questions to the right people to get the right results - You can trust God to give you the best success formula!
"Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8“For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. “Or what man is there among you who, when his son asks for a loaf, will give him a stone? “Or if he asks for a fish, he will not give him a snake, will he? “If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give what is good to those who ask Him!
“In everything, therefore, treat people the same way you want them to treat you, for this is the Law and the Prophets. - Matthew 7:7-12
You can also trust God to give you the best irresistible offer!
"But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." - Matthew 6:33
Yes, you can have all the good things you want in this life when you accept Jesus into your life and Jesus is love, obey God and live righteously. More importantly you will enjoy everlasting, joyful and meaningful live in God's kingdom!
Love, Learn, Leverage and Live Your Dream and Have A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
God bless you!
