Ephesians 6:18 - “And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.” Glory be to God in the Highest! It’s the start of a long weekend for our fellow brethren here in Australia as 27th is a holiday to give way for the celebration of Australia Day! Looking at this beautiful moment in the History of the discovery of this great land by the Westerners and became a country that we now knew as Australia. I remember the time when I was reviewing the History of this land as part of our preparation for the Australian Citizenship Examination, the first Australian migrants were rooted from Judeo-Christian faith. This mission works grew and later have been embraced as the primary faith movement in this land. As we are also partakers of the great thing this land has to offer, it won’t be an abuse to include this land in our prayers as well. There are many things that has ...

2 John 1:9-11 9  Everyone who goes on ahead and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God. Whoever abides in the teaching has both the Father and the Son. 10  If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house or give him any greeting, 11  for whoever greets him takes part in his wicked works. Today’s generations are taking advantage of many products brought by intellectual revolution where the mind of men is being replicated through the use of computers. Indeed, computers means our identities and personal information are stored in it commonly known as personal data. Data is considered more precious than gold nowadays to bad guys of the virtual world. Though computers are far from perfection and full of many vulnerabilities for any attack for its destruction, it continuous to survive and dynamically progressing to become adaptable to modern and emerging threats from malicious activities such as hacki...

Genesis 18: 20-21 20  Then the LORD said, "Because the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is great and their sin is very grave, 21  I will go down to see whether they have done altogether according to the outcry that has come to me. And if not, I will know." There were instance when my little girl is approaching before me and crying out loud and telling all her complain about her brother. Suddenly, the brother will come and explain his sides defending himself from possible punishment if proven guilty. This is a typical scenario for families with young children. As a parent and/or as a father, we are have to use discernment, wisdom and justice in dealing with this similar situation. This is not far from our just God when he also received the outcries of people who are sending and lifting up their prayers to Him. This has been proven true by the God of the Bible before He finally cast the judgement to Sodom and Gomorrah (refer to Genesis 18) Genesis 18:20-21 ...

Romans 10:14-17 14  How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? 15  And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!" 16  But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed what he has heard from us?" 17  So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ. One time, I was cutting my toenails and notice how my feet’s sole and skins are cracked and ugly. I was thinking of how can I make my feet smooth. Or maybe just to make it look good at the very least. I wonder what were these feet have done in my life? These feet have been my travelling companion from the time I start to learn walking to now. It already brought me in many destinations, from several parts of the Philippines to the ot...

Luke 18:40-43 40  And Jesus stopped and commanded him to be brought to him. And when he came near, he asked him, 41  "What do you want me to do for you?" He said, "Lord, let me recover my sight." 42  And Jesus said to him, "Recover your sight; your faith has made you well." 43  And immediately he recovered his sight and followed him, glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God. At some point in time of our lives, we no longer see anything our own directions, our future, our loved ones, our goals, or our plans. Our eyes are open and yet we are covered with darkness. These primarily contributed by adversaries, disappointments, struggles, failures and worsen by clouds of doubt raising a questions if there is God in everything behind it? We were blinded to see God’s face to brightly shine upon our lives, is there any good behind the dark curtains of doubts. Are we ready to be asked by God, when He himself come near t...

Luke 17:11-19 11  On the way to Jerusalem he was passing along between Samaria and Galilee. 12  And as he entered a village, he was met by ten lepers, who stood at a distance 13  and lifted up their voices, saying, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us." 14  When he saw them he said to them, "Go and show yourselves to the priests." And as they went they were cleansed. 15  Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice; 16  and he fell on his face at Jesus' feet, giving him thanks. Now he was a Samaritan. 17  Then Jesus answered, "Were not ten cleansed? Where are the nine? 18  Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?" 19  And he said to him, "Rise and go your way; your faith has made you well." What a great illustration of Jesus answering the desire of these ten lepers to be healed and cleansed that they may have to show themselves to the priest. After such answ...

Luke 13:10-17 10  Now he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath. 11  And behold, there was a woman who had had a disabling spirit for eighteen years. She was bent over and could not fully straighten herself. 12  When Jesus saw her, he called her over and said to her, "Woman, you are freed from your disability." 13  And he laid his hands on her, and immediately she was made straight, and she glorified God. 14  But the ruler of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, said to the people, "There are six days in which work ought to be done. Come on those days and be healed, and not on the Sabbath day." 15  Then the Lord answered him, "You hypocrites! Does not each of you on the Sabbath untie his ox or his donkey from the manger and lead it away to water it? 16  And ought not this woman, a daughter of Abraham whom Satan bound for eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath day?" 17  As he said these...
