Picture of the Day

Yippies the weekends have arrived. Just wanted to share a really cool & cute picture.

 

Time to rest and Relax =)

Have a great weekend

What's up..?

Hi everyone haven't blogged in a while. Life has been busy lately with work, hanging out with frens especially with a few brothers in Christ (Joe, James, Daniel) and spending time with family members and my beloved wife.

Me and Joe after church service

 

Dinner with J & J (Joe and James)

Yum yum..... (look at those mouths in action)

 

Sharon trying out a giant size Crocs.

 

Sharon with a huge Pandan cake all the way from Taiping.

 

One thing for sure that has been happening lately is "Makan makan" and becoming prosperous around the waist. But I'm sure I will loose the pounds. "I think". Well what can I say Penang food is "Ho Chiak" well not all of it but you must know where to look for the "Ho Chiak" food.

 

One of my all time favorite dishes Bai Kut Ong

 

Fried noodles and BKT - (Bah Kut Teh in Hokkien) which translates to Tea Pork Ribs

Another makan outing with J & J @ Koca steamboat

For only RM22 per head.(Limited time only till the end of September) We ate till we dropped...and we were the last customers to leave the restaurant. Paiseh paiseh

 

More Makan @ Ribs

Sharon heard about Ribs in another blog and so we decided to try out the food. If you're into ribs this will be the right place for you. But if you're just looking for some conventional western food that doesn't look like food for barbarians then you should try other places. Food isn't bad but it wasn't towards our liking. But overall nice place and great service.

  

 

So as you can see lots of makan this few weeks. So where to makan next?

Bible verse of the Day

The Bible says, “If you wait for perfect conditions, you will never get anything done” (Ecclesiastes 11:4 NLT).

Turn Your Cares Into Prayers

 

Philippians 4:6
6Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;

My friend, God doesn’t want you to be fearful, fretful or anxious. Instead, He wants you to “be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God”.

So when you have a care or worry, straightaway, turn that care or worry into prayer. That is supplication. And when you are troubled by a care or worry that you don’t know how to pray for, pray in the Spirit or tongues. And in the midst of that prayer, thank God that He is already your healing, provision, prosperity, good success and victory. That, my friend, is thanksgiving.

“Pastor Prince, if I am worried about something, how long should I pray?”

Keep on praying. Pray in the Spirit until the worry lifts or dissipates, “and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus”. (Philippians 4:7)

This was what one of our church members did when he found himself anxiously trying to access some important data in his USB flash drive. After a whole day at it with no results, he finally stopped himself from being anxious and instead, turned his worry into prayer, asking the Lord to settle it for him. As he prayed in tongues, he was also thankfully repeating in his heart that having the Holy Spirit — the Helper — with him was to his advantage. (John 16:7)

Later that evening, using his wife’s computer, he succeeded in accessing the data in his flash drive after a few attempts. He quickly backed up the data. It was only when subsequent attempts to use the flash drive on his wife’s computer failed did it suddenly dawn on him that God had “resurrected” his flash drive that one time, just for him to recover his data!

Beloved, I believe that we would all worry a lot less and enjoy our lives a lot more if only we realized this truth: Our Abba Father is so strong that there is nothing He cannot do, and He is so loving that there is nothing He will not do for us!

 

Special thanks to New Creation Church for this wonderful Devotional

Back to work....

It's been a long "Merdeka" weekend and we have enjoyed the weekends very much especially with the time together with my sweetie pie and also family members and friends. But there's always a time we need to go back to work and and today is such a day. Merdeka day wasn't such a bash this time around. It was pretty quiet compared to other years but then it was mostly a time of rest and a time do catch up on some of the things needed to be done. Anyway for those working enjoy your work, for those studying - happy studying and for those not working - happy snoozing. Enjoy your day.

God Of The Small Things Too

 

John 21:9, 12
9Then, as soon as they had come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid on it, and bread… 12Jesus said to them, “Come and eat breakfast.”

Like many parents, Wendy and I pray for our daughter Jessica every night before she sleeps. When Jessica was two years old, we decided to pray that her diapers would not overflow during the night. Her diapers not overflowing might be a small thing, but we knew that it would give our little girl a comfortable sleep every night. And after we started praying for this, we noticed that her diapers did not overflow.

That incident made me realize that our God is not just interested in the big things that affect us. He bothers and cares about the minor things that affect us too. There is nothing too insignificant for Him. So don’t be like some religious people who have this idea that God only wants us to bring the big issues to Him, and that He doesn’t want us to bother Him with small issues.

Nothing could be further from the truth. God cares about everything that you experience, from the small ulcer in your mouth to your concerns about the world’s economy. Even when you tell Him about the inconvenience that might arise if the bus is late, He takes note of that too. In fact, when you come to Him often about anything and everything in your daily life, you compliment Him because you are telling Him that He is your Daddy God who watches over you.

Jesus represented the Father’s heart and will when He was on earth. (John 5:19) He cared when His disciples were out at sea the whole night, cold and shivering. He cared when they caught nothing that night. (John 21:3) He cared that they would not have fish to sell. So He gave them a huge catch early the next morning. (John 21:5–6) He knew that they were cold and hungry, so He prepared breakfast for them, served over a fire of coals to keep them warm.

Jesus showed us that God is our loving heavenly Father who cares about the big and small things that happen every day in our lives. Nothing escapes God’s eyes because He loves you!
