Be strong and courageous

Joshua 1:7-9 NIV

"Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord  your God will be with you wherever you go."
Joshua was chosen by God and was given instructions to be successul in what God chose Him to do.

It is sad to see that people don't understand or believe that-
Success in God is the greatest success we can have in life.

We seek success in life, even pray for success but often fail to follow the seemingly easy instructions from God.

When we do not succeed in things, we blame God.

God told us through Joshua, there are 2 ways to be successful
1) meditate God's Word day and night(devotion)

2) be careful to do everything written in it(application)

God NEVER forgets that we are in need or suffering. He is always with us wherever we go. He is more faithful than we can ever imagine. His faithfulness is eternal. When we obey and apply, we see fruits growing.

I am so blessed

I am so thankful for what God has given me in Japan. I am thankful for the amazing Bible Study Fellowship here in Japan. Not only do we have a godly lady as our teaching leader, that speaks with great enthusiam, wisdom and clarity; but also have wonderful Japanese Christian ladies coming to seek the word of God with great desire and expectation EVERY WEEK. What wonderful works God has been doing here. I am super excited for God's cultivation in Japan, it's amazing!! I am thankful for the church I belong to. I am thankful for my bible study leader and lovely group members who greet me with love and care. The first time I went to the church, I was warmly welcomed by the people and never felt left out even for a minute! I am thankful for the opportunity to be able to share my faith with some people I have met. Please pray for my friend, who told me today that she would also like to come to church with me this Sunday. She is a girl in my dorm, from Cambodia and her name is............

Was I right or wrong?

Yesterday I had very special encounter. It turned out to be a breathtaking one at the end and in fact I could be in danger, but I think I don't regret doing it. Around 12pm, I was walking towards the train station from home to go to the city. Along the way, I passed a lady who stood in the middle of the footpath looking dizzy, her head was down and wasn't standing properly. Though it was just a glance, I continued to walk for 5 metres, the image of the lady still remained in my head, in just a few seconds, a lot of coversations went on in my head. "Stop? No stop? You are going to be late for train. Go back to check up the lady." At the end I stopped, turned around and walked back towards the lady knowing I would be late for the train I was catching. I approached her and asked "Are you ok? Do you need a hand?" Nodded and shook her head. While talking to her, I saw two fresh wounds on her face, one on the corner of her right eyebrow and one on the edge of her ...

A desire to be loved by God

Have you ever wondered what true love is? Do you have a desire to be truly loved? 你是否曾經想知道什麼是真愛? 你是否渴望真正的被愛呢? I have just recently started posting more entries on this blog in preparation for my exciting Japan exchange trip. However, I found it hard to decide on the content of this blog. I have asked myself if I should post anything about my faith that may seem dull to many of my friends or should I just post fun things to make it more desirable for my readers? 我近期才比較頻繁地發文 ,為的是分享日後令人興奮的日本交換學生生活而準備。但是在決定這個部落格的風格及內容時,我遇到了難題。我問自己是否應該分享對很多朋友們來說是很無趣的信仰,亦或是分享那些有趣的東西使更多人來閱讀呢? At the end, I still cannot settle with the fact that many people in this world are still lost and are living in darkness. I figured I should still share the love of God through this blog, though it may be undesirable, the love of God needs to be spread. 到頭來,這世界裡仍然有很多人的生命是迷失的或生處在黑暗當中這事,令我的心無法停歇。我決定我必須透過這個部落格來分享上帝的愛,即使可能沒有很多人會喜歡讀,但傳遞上帝的愛是更需要的。 Deep down in the innermost heart of every human being, we desire to be loved by ...
