28 Sep - Isaiah 54:1-57:13; Ephesians 6; Psalm 70; Proverbs 24:8
Yes I read the bible, but my schedule did not permit me to blog. But I am saying so not because of IDT, but I desire to read, and minutes my time alone with God. The bible is a message from God. I will like to write down that message.
Rachael asked why for this time round, I so desire to go to oversea. I will be going to the states for a week, from 27 Oct to 3 Nov. It is also a chance for me to get away from the hastle of my daily work, and a short get away from Singapore alone to have my own time. Time to be with God too - something like a get away.
I thank you God, that I serve a God not only belong to the Hebrew, but a God whose heart is also for us, the Gentile. I remember the special previleage of the Jews, the blessings that get from God. Must I, a gentile be grafted in, in order to be part of them and belong to the vine of life? Maybe, but how many of us can obey and fulfil the Hebrew Law, unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter the kingdom of God. Therefore Paul is right about saying, it is my faith and we are all justified by faith. But again, that does not give us, the gentile to forsake what the Hebrew did. They have the passover, the many festivals and that is to commermorate and remember the great miracles and events God has encountered with them.
Isa 56:6 “And the foreigners who join themselves to the Lord,to minister to him, to love the name of the Lord,and to be his servants,everyone who keeps the Sabbath and does not profane it,and holds fast my covenant—7 these I will bring to my holy mountain,and make them joyful in my house of prayer;their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be accepted on my altar;for my house shall be called a house of prayerfor all peoples.”8 The Lord God,who gathers the outcasts of Israel, declares,“I will gather yet others to him besides those already gathered.”
I consider it as a previleage, to be able to be accept in such a communion with the Lord Jesus Christ!

26 Sep - Isaiah 48:12-50:11; Ephesians 4:17-32; Psalm 69:1-18; Proverbs 24:5-6
Isa 48:17 “I am the Lord your God,who teaches you to profit,who leads you in the way you should go.
Indeed, it is the Lord that I thank. A method that that I used in Forex that give a consistent profits of more than 500 pips per month.
Now, here is the questions - How am I giving back to the Lord? How important is money and how do I intent to use them? Lord, I know what is the model answer. I will seek and even as I plan for the business expansion and roadmap, I wil need you. I pray as I continue to seek you, let my heart be attentive to you that I will leave the business planning and decisions all to you.
Yes, I thank you for leading me to Christian brothers, to partner as my research team. Let this team spur each other to you first, and let the motive and all the growth be unto the Lord.
Even as I call for a first meeting and set the direction, let all plans and intent be to your glory.
Isa 48:12 I am he; I am the first,and I am the last.13 My hand laid the foundation of the earth,and my right hand spread out the heavens;
This is the Lord that call us - the creator of the universe, such a previleage.
This was the hour, 17 Thus says the Lord,your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:
He has called and assemble back His people. Yes, Babylon He has raised, but now it will be no more, the time has reversed and its time to gather the poeple back.
It is not what the poeple has done to deserve the call back, nor it was because of Babylon evil, but the Lord is faithful, our redeemer, in order to fulfil the salvation plan He has for mankind. Such is our God.
What is then we should do? The Lord hate evil. He reminded the people of His commandments, Isa 48:18 Oh that you had paid attention to my commandments!Then your peace would have been like a river,and your righteousness like the waves of the sea;19 your offspring would have been like the sand,and your descendants like its grains;their name would never be cut offor destroyed from before me.”
Chapeter 49 is about a calling - the action and execution for His salvation plan. Can we be the one? Or will we be willing be the one?
Isa 49:6to raise up the tribes of Jacoband to bring back the preserved of Israel;I will make you as a light for the nations,that my salvation may reach to the end of the earth.”
Such is the calling and what a privileage to be called.
Isa 49:8 Thus says the Lord:“In a time of favor I have answered you;in a day of salvation I have helped you;I will keep you and give youas a covenant to the people,to establish the land,to apportion the desolate heritages,
How many of us need restoration? Not unless we are broken... Not to be so, you may not survive and by then there is no need to talk about restoration. I am sad that many people are so, caught up with their daily activities and trusted in their strength and refuse to come back to God - well not until God break them up. But why why wait for such a time. Come back, come back, for it pain the Lord to see His children fall into prositution and colude in various evil. I pray not for other, my father and also for myself.
Isa 49:15 “Can a woman forget her nursing child,that she should have no compassion on the son of her womb?Even these may forget,yet I will not forget you.
Such is the promise and such is the love.
Isa 49:19 “Surely your waste and your desolate placesand your devastated land—surely now you will be too narrow for your inhabitants,
Not only He redeemed, He restored. He will forgive and bring us back to His embrace. The love He showered on us is not only that, He will restored the former glory. Let us be able to say that all riches and all blessing come from Him. He wnated us to know that the restoration is a pure act by God and not by the work of man. Your former glory was destroyed but now your current blessings are from God - Give thanks!
Isa 49:23Then you will know that I am the Lord;
Isa 49:26Then all flesh shall knowthat I am the Lord your Savior,and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.”
Lastly to encourage all of us who put our trust in God
Isa 50:2Is my hand shortened, that it cannot redeem?Or have I no power to deliver? NO
I don't call myself anywhere near perfect - I am worst, how can I stand in front of the Lord, unless He forgives through Jesus Christ. How long will it take me to freed from the bondage of sins - a decision and more decisions to repent from the actions and ways of committing sins against the Lord. I pray for breakthrough..
Isa 48:17 “I am the Lord your God,who teaches you to profit,who leads you in the way you should go.

25 Sep - Isaiah 45:11-48:11; Ephesians 4:1-16; Psalm 68:19-35; Proverbs 24:3-4
Isa 45:21 Was it not I, the Lord?And there is no other god besides me,a righteous God and a Savior;there is none besides me.
Why are there people who still choose not to come in reconcilation with God, who choose and refuse to accept Jesus.
Stuborn and a pure refusal to admit that I am greater than God

24 Sep - Isaiah 43:14-45:10; Ephesians 3; Psalm 68:1-18; Proverbs 24:1-2
Sunday 23rd sermon in Chruch touch me. I have indeed served and know a God who is faithful in keeping His promise. It was not what glory we have done in the past nor it was what we should not have done in the past - He will keep His promise and because He love us - He wnat to work through us and bless us. Let Jesus do the work and let Jesus take the wheel.
Isa 44:6 Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts:“I am the first and I am the last;besides me there is no god.
There is no need to look for another God, because there is no other God that comes before, and there is no need to wait for a better God, because there will be no other God. Yes how wonderful that is - we have a God that create all things and all things was created by Him.
Isa 44 also points out about idols that was make out of the hand of man. The material that make the idol is the same that is good for fuel! I have a good that is so real, so good to me - that speaks and hears and wanted so much to redeem us.
I pray and look forward to the exiciting time that God is going to lead my family to next year. It will be a new area, a new life style. I do not know what, but let my Lord direct and lead. I really do not know how, but I am excited about it. As Jesus lead, and as He prepares my family, I pray that we will be willing to follow and take up the changes and the calling.
I also pray for my father. Lord save his soul. He is going for operation again. I pray for a safe operation. I pray that the Holy Spirit grips him and convicts him, destroy his self and let Jesus take and mould his heart. Change him, change him. Amen.

Isa 40:11 He will tend his flock like a shepherd;he will gather the lambs in his arms;he will carry them in his bosom,and gently lead those that are with young.
This is our Lord Jesus, the good shepherd. When we are in need, he will provide and tend to our needs, when we are afraid, He will bring us to him, when we are weary, he will carry us. He will leads us to lie besides still refreshing water.

20 Sep - Isaiah 33:13-36:22; Galatians 5:13-26; Psalm 64; Proverbs 23:23
Water taste sweet after a workout and when you are really thristy.
So nice to have what Isa 35:1 The wilderness and the dry land shall be glad;the desert shall rejoice and blossom like the crocus;2 it shall blossom abundantlyand rejoice with joy and singing.
I pray for Rachael, that in her search, she will find a highway in the desert. As you lead, she will find breakthrough.
Isa 35:6For waters break forth in the wilderness,and streams in the desert;7 the burning sand shall become a pool,and the thirsty ground springs of water;
Lord, as I journal, I pray and claim your promise. Yes indeed, the desert will be no more. Months down the road and years on, I will be able to proclaim that it is you who will bring my family to the next height.
I am enjoying this transition period. Yes of course, doing my own business has its own stress, but I began to see the fruit. It has been a year plus since I start in forex. I give thanks for the four consecutive months of profits. Glory goes to God and as the business grow, let not conceit grow. The humble begining and its start was like a faith journey that God has bless. It has been four years, how I started my first business and this is the first time I see consistent and steady profit. Lord, even as I share, let you always take the center stage, for me to be reminded that it is you who brought about the success.

19 Sep - Isaiah 30:12-33:12; Galatians 5:1-12; Psalm 63; Proverbs 23:22
My soul longs for you. Remember the dry time of your life.
Yes I do, just slightly more than a decade ago, I have no vision, I am all alone. It was not that aimless, but even the purpose of wealth creation and entertainment does not satisfy my soul.
As I wait and seek, God bless me with a wonderful, wonderful family. He showed me the place and the people.
Yes, I pray and ask, when is the intent for this place and people, that the Lord has for me. How do I start, whom can I contact and where do I start, besides how?
As Isaish spoke about the destruction of the land, I can feel the Lord's heart beat, His sadness as the land was filled with evil and pride and many other gold-plated idols. He wanted the land to be pure and the people live in His promise, without fear or threathen.
Isa 30:15"“In returning [1] and rest you shall be saved;in quietness and in trust shall be your strength.”
He called us again and again to return. When we are out and feel so down, please remember the Lord and His great intent. Seeking the world brings about a temporal happiness.
Isa 30:29 You shall have a song as in the night when a holy feast is kept, and gladness of heart, as when one sets out to the sound of the flute to go to the mountain of the Lord, to the Rock of Israel
Yes, even in the presence of our enemy. Look up and not down, look far and not at what a arm length away.
Isa 33:5 The Lord is exalted, for he dwells on high;he will fill Zion with justice and righteousness,6 and he will be the stability of your times,abundance of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge;the fear of the Lord is Zion's [7] treasure.
Now therefore let us exalt our God the Lord! That we can always shout fresh shout of joy to Him.
In fact, Lord, I look forward next year - as the Lord leads, set my feet nearer to the intent you have for me. I look forward to the exciting time installed for my family and I.
Lastly, from Psa63
63:1 O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you;my soul thirsts for you;my flesh faints for you,as in a dry and weary land where there is no water.2 So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary,beholding your power and glory.3 Because your steadfast love is better than life,my lips will praise you.4 So I will bless you as long as I live;in your name I will lift up my hands.

18 Sep - Isaiah 28:14-30:11; Galatians 3:23-4:31; Psalm 62; Proverbs 23:19-21
Imagine Isaiah is a movie - you can watch it telling you the same thing again and again. The same evil, reaping the same downfall, the final showdown will be the blessing of Judah. Again and again, Isaiah seemed to be a long winded person, singing the same tune again and agin, yes Egypt will fall, Assysia will fall, Bablyon will fall... But Judan and and those who put their trust in God will find glory. Yes because Israel sin and yes because Judah sin - their glory was taken away. That was because they have became like the people of the land - evil. God hate that!
Well, the point to make is God has no room for evil - purge them out. Isa 29:13“Because this people draw near with their mouth and honor me with their lips,while their hearts are far from me,"
and Isa 29:15 "Ah, you who hide deep from the Lord your counsel,whose deeds are in the dark,and who say, “Who sees us? Who knows us?”
God knows our heart.

17 Sep - Isaiah 25:1-28:13; Galatians 3:10-22; Psalm 61; Proverbs 23:17-18
Isa 25 encourage us to look to the greatest of our God.
25:4 For you have been a stronghold to the poor,a stronghold to the needy in his distress,a shelter from the storm and a shade from the heat;
26:4 Trust in the Lord forever,for the Lord God is an everlasting rock.
Indeed, how great is our God!
It is therefore not too difficult to talk about his greatness, but I too know that a lot of people do not bother about this great God - who cares as long as I live a stable and contented life.
The greatest of God has to be personalized. How many of us can say our God is the God of Abraham, Issac and Jabob, the Lord that deliver us out of Egypt - NO, surely no. Then why do we say how great is our God, when we have not witness his greatness?
Look not too far away - the pretty flower, His creation! His greatness may not only come in strength - like that of thunder and storm, but His love for us - so much so that He has showered us with blessing. The very fact that we are alive showed the greatness of God. Wonder what keep us alive?
Josef and I talked about Cain and Abel. We talk about giving the best to God - why? because God first give to us - He gave us Jesus, to pay for our sins so that we can get back to Him. That gratefulness is enough to propel anyone who intent to return gratefulness with material oferring to God. He first bless us. Indeed, pastor was saying revival come also with the revival of the wallet. The best way to show someone your giving is to open up your bank account - which I bet noboby did.
Yes, China, Yunnan. Lord I pray for I do not where to start, what you intend me to do, who to approach and how in whatever. Indeed, if you lead because it is your plan.

16 Sep - Isaiah 22-24; Galatians 2:17-3:9; Psalm 60; Proverbs 23:15-16
Where am I heading? Unless the Lord lead, I will not go. Psa 60:12 With God we shall do valiantly;it is he who will tread down our foes.
Am I heading forward? I want to, but... I am bounded, my feet so tied down.
Yes, I feel so down cast - maybe its good that I stay put, just living day by day - peace till the day the Lord call me home. Probable that will make everyone happy - there is always disruption when there is changes. Cant each one of us do a little more without much grumbling? Cant we do all things without complaining?
Well, Lord you know best. If you want me to stay, then I will stay, if you want me to be passive, then let it be so.. Of these I pray.
Where am I heading? Unless the Lord lead, I will not go. Psa 60:12 With God we shall do valiantly;it is he who will tread down our foes.

15 Sep - Isaiah 19-21; Galatians 2:1-16; Psalm 59; Proverbs 23:13-14
How is it to walk around every day without clothes? Isaiah was called to do so for three years!
Yesterday, the church mentioned about going to mission or be sent out. But I sense the resistence from the DG.
In the same manner, you have to be called for such a heart beat. My heart will always go out for the people in Yunnan. But even as you ask me now, I will not know how to lead a group there.
I pray as God leads and open the way for my family, He will fulfil the plans He has for us.

12 Sep - Isaiah 10-11; 2 Corinthians 12:11-21; Psalm 56; Proverbs 23:6-8
AS I read Isaiah, I saw God love for us, for His poeple, for Israel. He hate evil and so desire to have them purge out of Israel. The people in the land are evil - real evil and had little regards for human lives. God wanted His people to be different.
After a beating, because of His love, He will keep a remant, a remant for Himself. I pray for such a remant and how many of us would God consider a remant in this generation?
He raise enemy up. but and likewise do not be proud to say that it was all our effort. I pray for humility that God will be and always be my source of strength.
Psa 56:10 In God, whose word I praise,in the Lord, whose word I praise,11 in God I trust; I shall not be afraid.What can man do to me?
I pray that it will be y God that I praise, and trust. I do not know how the future will be - but surely and surely it is not going to be ST Kinetics. My goals are being drifted apart and I need to pursue them back and the only way is to get out of it. Lord, I pray, I pray that my business in finance and in other ventures will take flight. I put my trust in you.

11 Sep - Isaiah 8-9; 2 Corinthians 12:1-10; Psalm 55; Proverbs 23:4-5
Isaiah has prophesized that an invasion will happened within the next two years. Yet the people were still doing evil - very little regard for human lives, righteousness and God.
Yes I thank God for the blessings He has for Singapore. Such peace and we did not even experience conflict, violence or even rampant crimes. It is hard to imagine, except in movies, where the unrighteous one took bribe for innocent lives and their pocessions, care very little for human lives, the fatherless and the orpans.
Such unjust is not absence and is presence in our neighbouring state and in China, the place my heart longs to. I do not know if I will survive there, but God, you shall be my guide, my righteousness.
Lord, I pray that I will not take you for granted. I have well access to you and the bible. I pray that I will keep that close to me and fill my heart with a desire to keep close to you. I pray for your heart beat, to pray for the unjust, the fatherless and the orphans, the less fortunate in Singapore and in Yunnan.

10 Sep - Isaiah 3-7; 2 Corinthians 11:1-33; Psalm 53-54; Proverbs 22:28-29; Proverbs 23:1-3
I seem to lack the discipline to do reading of God's word during weekend. Morning after attending church, I brought my father and sister to my late mother's urn and tablet (its a temple). I did it out of love so that my father know my love for him. Rachael was so sweet to offer the only stalk of sunflower that she brought it for her colleague, to be placed at my mother's urn. Regardless, none of us including my father offer incense to the dead.
When I am back, read a short chapter on Isaiah and Ezra before felling asleep. By then Renna was here for bible study. I thank God for her desire to know the bible. We will be going through the book of Genesis, probably book by book to cover the bible. God help us and through this process, we can learn much more about you.
Pro 23:1 When you sit down to eat with a ruler,observe carefully what [21] is before you,2 and put a knife to your throatif you are given to appetite.3 Do not desire his delicacies,for they are deceptive food.
This is not about discipline, but about know how to relate with people. Our actions tell about ourselves. Rachael was talking about 'yuan hua' similar on how should we relate to people. I pray we can learn much more from the bible.
To be continue.

8 Sep - Isaiah 1-2; 2 Corinthians 10; Psalm 52; Proverbs 22:26-27
Isaiah opened with the evil and the disappointment God has for the people of Israel. But nevertheless Isa 1:24 Therefore the Lord declares,the Lord of hosts,the Mighty One of Israel:“Ah, I will get relief from my enemiesand avenge myself on my foes., as well as Isa 1:26 Afterward you shall be called the city of righteousness,the faithful city.
God so loved us, despite our loved for evil and our craving for gold and silver and our dependence on our own strength.
Should I be quick to get out of the evil land and sin no more, or continue to go against the righteousness of God and sins and fall into the temptation of the evil one?
Move on with life, for how much a man is paid and worth is counted in the Lord, not man. Why measure our worth in man. Psa 52:7 “See the man who would not makeGod his refuge,but trusted in the abundance of his richesand sought refuge in his own destruction!”
Yes, things you have roorted so well for a decade, move on and let the plans of God prosper. Let not pride take over you and therefore sin agianst the Lord by the actions that made yourself proud and not God proud.
Move on with little but in the strngth of the Lord, so that when the day He prosper you, you can give thnaks to Him and remembered the goodness and the blessings He has showered upon you.

7 Sep -Song of Solomon 5-8; 2 Corinthians 9; Psalm 51; Proverbs 22:24-25
Psa 51 - Create in me a clean heart.
How can we stand in the presence of God? Expect that we come clean and that our sins are cleanse. Psa 51 also expressed another desire - a desire to come clean in the presence of God. Psa 51:4 "4 Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight,"
I look forward to each new day as I dwell in God. I know that I can put my trust in Him, because He is meriful and faithful.
Rachael ask about how to teach Josef about God and how to have him a intimate relationship with Jesus. Knowledge through God's words set the theological foundation, it will allow us to know who God is and that founded our identification with Him and subsequently our allegiance. A relationship is two way. God has come to us and its then our desire to know Him. Oce we did that, its about setting our priorities, values and purpose in Him. To Josef, he is still too young to understand all these, and the only best way is to see us as parent doing so, setting priorities, values and purpose in the kingdom of God. In all we do, how is Christ rank and when there is a conflict, how it is resolved, when there is a decision to make, how do we choose. These are the actions and application of our knowledge in the words, from knowing who God is and our desire to put the words in actions. Lastly in our internalization, through our services and actions. It is about daily reading, daily walk, daily action, daily service. So much so that it became part of us that we the words and knowledge in Christ can flow out of us easily.
Josef may know God's word through his bible reading, but the next thing is for him to pick up the bible to have his own daily time alone with God.
Well Lord I pray that my children will grow in a deep relationship with you.
Lastly, Lord, I too submit Psa 51 to you that you can create in me a clean heart. All plans and decision can come later - just be still and live in your presence each day.

6 Sep - Song of Solomon 1-4; 2 Corinthians 8:16-24; Psalm 50; Proverbs 22:22-23
WHat has Song of Solomon do with God? That is always my question. As I read four chapters of it, well, to me its still Solomon expression for his bride. That's romatic and that about all.
Well, I was away 5 days with my family in Phuket for a holiday. Song of Solomon just remind me of how God has bless with with this family. The time we spend together at a relax pace.
