God Never Turn Us Down

I think this is really good that I really want to share with you all.

I went to chinese church this morning. it was a guest speaker speaking. and he talked about his life. and how he had faith in God.

he said, he grew up in a single parent family and was very poor. but he went to America to further his studies. he had only 1000 USD with him. by the second week, he finished the money already, of course on necessary things. and on the second week itself, he has to pay up the school fees, otherwise his name will be canceled from the student list.

he was very worried. he went to look for the lecturers there and ask if there was scholarships that he can apply. but each time he looked for a lecturer, they turned him down. he claimed that he went to look for about 7-8 lecturers. but they gave him the same answer each time. he asked God why is it so..

then just one day before classes start, which was the LAST DAY he can pay up the fees, he went to look for this lecturer which he had already looked for a few days ago. the lecturer asked him, do you believe there is God? he answered yes. then he said, why not you go out and pray, and ask God to open a way for you? so, he did. he went out and prayed for a very long time.

later, the lecturer opened the door and asked him to go in. he told him that, there is one scholarship they can sponsor him. you never know how happy he was. and of course, he thanked God.

what i want to say here is that, God will make a way, where there seems to be no way. and if you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.

For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. Matthew 7:8

Daily Bread?

I read this story while I was doing my quiet time today and find it really exciting-because we serve a GOD who is extremely focused on meeting our needs!

***

There was this poor widow living in Mexico. She had two small children and was down to her last few cents. But she believed that GOD would meet the needs of her little family. She spent hours praying and asking GOD to give her directions as how she should spend her last few cents.

Eventually, she sensed that GOD was directing her to a large market in a nearby village. She had never been there before. She entered the building and sensed GOD telling her to get a shopping cart and fill it with a three months' supply of groceries! When her cart was overflowing with the essentials for her little family, she approached the checkout lanes and sensed GOD directing her to lane number seven.

There was only one man in front of her. When the clerk was finished with him, she pulled a chain across the lane and said, "sorry, it's my lunchtime. you'll have to go to another lane."
The widow look at the clerk and said, "no, my Father told me to come here. i'll wait."

After the clerk returned, she found the lady standing patiently beside her cart of grocerries. She unloaded the items on the conveyor belt. The widow's heart was pounding as the bill began to mount. She nervously fingered the 22 cents in her worn purse.

When the next-to-the-last-item was being rung up, the noise of the supermarket was interupted by the sound of the manager's voice through the intercom. "Attention, shoppers! Whoever is being checked out right now in lane number seven will receive all groceries absolutely free- compliment of our market."

***

Give us this day our daily bread- let this portion of the Lord's Prayer be a constant reminder that GOD has promised to take care of us!

Know it!
You can trust the Creator of the universe to take care of you. If He cares for the animal kingdom, the plant life, and all of nature, think how much more He'll care for you! Thank God for caring for your deepest needs. Ask Him to help you remember that He will always provide for your physical and spiritual needs!

Why is Jesus BETTER than Santa?

Santa lives at the North Pole...
JESUS is everywhere.

Santa rides in a sleigh...
JESUS rides on the wind and walks on the water.

Santa comes but once a year...
JESUS is an ever present help.

Santa fills your stockings with goodies...
JESUS supplies all your needs.

Santa comes down your chimney uninvited...
JESUS stands at your door and knocks, and then enters your heart when invited.

You have to wait in line to see Santa...
JESUS is as close as the mention of His name.

Santa lets you sit on his lap...
JESUS lets you rest in His arms.

Santa doesn't know your name, all he can say is "Hi little boy or girl, what's your name?"...
JESUS knew our name before we were born. Not only does He know our name, He knows our address too. He knows our history and future and He even knows how many hairs are on our heads.

Santa has a belly like a bowl full of jelly...
JESUS has a heart full of love.

All Santa can offer is HO HO HO...
JESUS offers health, help and hope.

Santa says "You better not cry"...
JESUS says "Cast all your cares on me for I care for you."

Santa's little helpers make toys...
JESUS makes new life, mends wounded hearts, repairs broken homes and builds mansions.

Santa may make you chuckle but...
JESUS gives you joy that is your strength.

While Santa puts gifts under your tree...
JESUS became our gift and died on a tree... the cross.

We need to put Christ back in CHRISTmas, Jesus is still the reason for the season. Santa, has a hidden name...

it scares me

i was in deep sleep..and i dreamt about..cheng cheng cheng...

it's funny in a way cus it started like this.

everyone in the house was asleep already. i was talking to my friend on msn. and he told me that i could check my results online(!! changih-fied) ok then i went to the website, logged in with my IC number and waited and waited. and finally! cheng cheng cheng. it came out and it says i got 6As and 2Bs. HAHAHAHA. seriously. the next minute i found myself text messaging another friend telling her that the results can be checked online in Giant. yes, Giant..the grocerries-shopping-place. and i met my cousin there.

why are my dreams always so weird!

Down but not out.

Hey Guys (: How are you? Are you excited for camp? I AM! =)

Alrite, I found this daily devotion very true and this is something to share with yu guys too! *hugs* I got it from the new creation church daily devotion. You can get their daily devotion here.

2 Corinthians 4:8–9
8We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed.

Before you were a Christian, when something sad or bad happened to you, you cried until you had no more tears left. Your heart simply broke into pieces, and you felt trapped, depressed and totally defeated.

But after you became a Christian, when something bad happens to you, you still cry, but you feel comforted inside. You are sad outwardly, but your heart isn’t heavy. You don’t understand why, but deep down inside you, there is something lifting you up. That something buoyant, which is rising from the inside of you, is the life of Christ in you!

You cannot be completely distressed because Christ in you is the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6) who says to you, “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” (John 14:27)

Yes, it is a bad situation and you are in a tight spot, but Christ in you is the way, the truth and the life (John 14:6), and He says to you, “It will all be all right. I will provide a way out for you.”

You know you are not defeated because Christ in you is your victory (1 Corinthians 15:57), and He says to you, “You are not fighting for victory, but fighting from victory, for you already have the victory in Me.”

In the past, before you knew Christ, when you were down, you were out. But now, when you are down, you are not out because Christ in you is the hope of glory. (Colossians 1:27) “Hope” in the Bible means “a definite positive expectation of good”.

So Christ in you is the definite positive expectation of a glorious marriage! Christ in you is the definite positive expectation of a glorious family! Christ in you is the definite positive expectation of glorious health for the rest of your life! Christ in you is the definite positive expectation of a glorious life!

Christ in you is the definite positive expectation of all the glories of God revealed to you! Hallelujah!
