To Hell or To Heaven?

Just last week when my mum was sending me over to my new place, she told me about what she heard from a lady medium in the temple. She told my mum that Christians become hungry ghost after they are dead. They hide under the temple of those idols, and wait for other ghost of their religion to finish eating and ate the leftover.

Initially I thought of that as my mum's intention to scare me, so that I would give up, but I told her, religion is not something she has control over. I have a freedom of choice, and she shouldn't say things like this.

However, when I ponder about that, I saw it as a warning sign for me from above. God has made use of my mother to show me, and warn me that even as Christians, if we fail to walk close to Jesus, after death will turn out to be like those ghost, that would mean daily Hell even for Christians, those who has back-slidded, or those NOT walking close to him. There is no sub-standard heaven for sub-standard Christians, and all of us should know that.

The Way to Heaven is a Narrow Way, and not many made it thru. How true it is.

So to heaven or to hell? The choice is ours. The gates of both are always open. It is we who decide which one we want to walk into.

Make a wise choice today, and everyday.

He's the One

As I reflect the meetings I had two days back with my good friend, Pamela, and then Camielle the next day, I derived at the same thing. Everyone of us is searching all our life for "the ONE" whom we think is the right one for us to spend the rest of our life.

I looked back to 7yrs ago, when I first got to know my husband. When we got to know each other, both of us think that we are "the one" in each of our life. But 7yrs later, which is now, people change, things change, we have both grown but in different level.Both of us, end up the same like most couples. Sour relationship, hurt, betrayed, resent, and what not? Just like most couples around us.

Of cuz I must admit that our relationship is much better now compared to the past few years, and the credit goes all out to God. However... still it is not perfect. In other word, there is NO PERFECT relationship.

I turn to God and ask him, why is there no perfect relationship even though I have searched high and low, for the past almost 28yrs. Why do I still get hurt by the one I love?

God says "Look deeper into your heart. You have Jesus. HE IS THE ONE. The one that will never change no matter now many centuries passed by. He is the ONLY one that will never change and be tempted into betraying our love for him."

By that, I really wake up and realised that I have taken what I have all along forgranted. Jesus our Lord has always been there. Always ready to comfort us when we are hurt, and betrayed. So I should just look upon him, and focus on loving him with all my heart.

No wonder all throughout the bible, the verse "Love your God, with all your heart, all your soul and all your mind" keep repeating all over from the old to new testatment.

What a revelation! Thank you Lord! Amen!

Dream from the Devil

I had a dream last night. The incident has been over since about 11mths back. The woman whom I believed to have came into my marriage was dead for almost a year. Yet, last night I dreamt of her.

In my dream, there were 3 of us. There were confession by my husband, of his love for her, and his willingness to leave me to be with her. I was disappointed and heart-broken.

Initially, this seems like a reminder of his betrayal of our love, and marriage. Then I ask God when I reached the office, why did I dream of that. What does it implies?

The answer I got is "The devil is trying to haunt you with your past. In the dream you saw your husband has fallen in love with another woman that actually implies the love for the world. Remember this - Only when you have the Love For God, will you be set free from the devil".

How true is this revelation. God really opens my eyes to see the truth.

The love I saw in the dream, represents "Lust". Man lust for the things in the world. Satan can't wait to tempt us into that. However, we do have the choice of not falling into that temptation.

Love God, and be set free from the Devil. After all, the devil also knows our secret, our past, and will always want to remind us of our hurt, our defeat, our failure and make us look weak, vulnerable, and easily defeated by him.

But I remember what God says in the old testatment. Just in Deuteronomy itself, he mentioned "Be Strong and courageous" over and over again. So we should fight a good fight, and defeat the devil. Because our love for God will set us free from the trap Satan has laid.

If I had not turn to God, but allow Devil to poison my mind, by reminding me of the betrayal, and allowing the offence to grow the root of vengence in me, I would have been defeated. But I hold on to God's word. I seek God in everyday of my life, and everything that happens. When I do that, not only did the Devil fail in his plan to defeat me, I have instead defeated the Devil.

Praise the Lord for his wisdom, and his love! Hallelujah!
