Remember Me

0 comments

Have you ever felt left out, alone, God is not listening? God is not there? ..Read on for you are ALWAYS remembered.

There was one person in the Bible that was in this situation and His name was Samson. His mother before having him could not bear a child was visited by the angel of the Lord. The angel of the Lord visited her and told her she will be pregnant and give birth to a son  and his name would be Samson. Samson was a special person selected from God to have supernatural strength just like the characters from the TV show Heroes, but he was a Hero with supernatural strength that will save the Israelites from the Philistines.

 5 You will become pregnant and give birth to a son, and his hair must never be cut. For he will be dedicated to God as a Nazirite from birth. He will begin to rescue Israel from the Philistines.”  Judges 13:4 (NLT)

Well keeping the long story short Samson was to be married to a Philistine women which he fell in love, before he was to be married to her his wife was given in marriage to the man who had been Samson’s best man at the wedding. Because of this he was very angry with the Philistines  and so he attacked the Philistines with great fury and killed many of them. Then he went to live in a cave in the rock of Etam. While living there some 3000 men of Judah came to catch him and present him to the Philistines. Again he took revenge of the Philistines and killed many of them.

Soon after he fell in love with a women called Delilah. The rulers of the Philistines went to Delilah and said, “Entice Samson to tell you what makes him so strong and how he can be overpowered and tied up securely. Then each of us will give you 1,100 pieces of silver.” For the sake of money Delilah went to Samson asking him how he got his strength, but for 3 times Samson lied to her but finally Samson gave up and revealed his secret . “My hair has never been cut,” he confessed, “for I was dedicated to God as a Nazirite from birth. If my head were shaved, my strength would leave me, and I would become as weak as anyone else.”  What happened next is when he woke up he found himself bald and soon after before being captured he tried to resist but he didn’t realize the Lord had left him. So the Philistines captured him and gouged out his eyes. They took him to Gaza, where he was bound with bronze chains and forced to grind grain in the prison. But before long, his hair began to grow back.

Imagine at this stage Samson must have felt so terribly forsaken by God. Surely he has asked God where is He. Surely in life we face trials and tribulations which is in similar proportions of today’s living. But how does our Loving Father come into the picture? Is God a graceful Father? Surely He is, for His promises are true and He will surely remember all of us even though He may seem so far so distant. But He is there for sure looking down from Heaven just wanting to take a peak at what you’re up too.

 

Samson’s Final Victory

Samson’s hair started to grow back when in prison and guess what?  his powers also grew back. The Philistine rulers held a great festival, offering sacrifices and praising their god, Dagon. They said, “Our god has given us victory over our enemy Samson!” When the people saw him, they praised their god, saying, “Our god has delivered our enemy to us! The one who killed so many of us is now in our power!” Half drunk by now, the people demanded, “Bring out Samson so he can amuse us!” So he was brought from the prison to amuse them, and they had him stand between the pillars supporting the roof. Samson said to the young servant who was leading him by the hand, “Place my hands against the pillars that hold up the temple. I want to rest against them.”  Now the temple was completely filled with people. All the Philistine rulers were there, and there were about 3,000 men and women on the roof who were watching as Samson amused them. Then Samson prayed to the Lord, “Sovereign Lord, remember me again. O God, please strengthen me just one more time. With one blow let me pay back the Philistines for the loss of my two eyes.” Then Samson put his hands on the two center pillars that held up the temple. Pushing against them with both hands, he prayed, “Let me die with the Philistines.” And the temple crashed down on the Philistine rulers and all the people. So he killed more people when he died than he had during his entire lifetime. Later his brothers and other relatives went down to get his body. They took him back home and buried him between Zorah and Eshtaol, where his father, Manoah, was buried. Samson had judged Israel for twenty years.

I confess I like cars, well with the recent movies like transformers: revenge of the fallen focusing on the beautiful cars and also the purchase of my new car have increased my liking towards cars, but I’ve always loved cars since when I was much younger so does my dad. Well one particular brand of car which I admire most and dream of having and driving is non other than the Ferrari. The sound of the engines roaring …perfectly amazing. I believe I will own one one day. AMEN ! Well this is boys stuff and surely my wife will shake her head after reading this. Buy hey you gals got your own things that you like like your coach bags and you LV bags which cost thousands of $$$ to keep your stuff when on the go. But come to think of it we are no different than them.

Great Singapore Sale 2009

The great Singapore sale just ended over 2 weeks ago and Sharon and I had a great opportunity to be in Singapore during the last weekend of the Great Singapore Sale. The experience was a roaring experience with hundreds to thousands of people crowding the roads of Orchard Road “the great place to shop in Singapore”. Sharon and I also had a fantastic opportunity to do some shopping of our own. We were truly amazed by the vast amounts of stuff you can get in Singapore which cannot be found in Malaysia. Singapore is truly the great place to do some shopping. Now I understand why some people travel all the way to Singapore to shop shop shop.

Youth Conference with Ps. Judah Smith,  Hillsong United

and

One of the main reasons we were down in Singapore besides shopping was to worship with Hillsong United where NCC’s youth ministry organized a one day youth conference with Ps. Judah Smith and Hillsong United. Unfortunately we were unable to attend the conference but we rushed to the concert after some family engagements and we were really blessed with the worship together with Hillsong United. I really want to thank Errolyn for getting the tickets for us and also booking the hotel for us. You are truly blessed to serve our Lord full time in NCC. May God Bless your boundaries and in every way possible in your life.

One of my favourite songs in the latest United Album Soon. Meaningful, touching, heart warming song that has touched me since I first started listening to this song.
This song will touch you as well. Be blessed with worshipping the Lord. Hallelujah
