21 April; Jos 22
The people of Reuben and the people of Gad called the altar Witness, “For,” they said, “it is a witness between us that the LORD is God.”
(Joshua 22:34 ESV)
This altar that the Reubenites and the Gadites built was the intent that their descendants will be allowed and be able to continue to worship the Lord their God.
I did not sleep well last night and had problem waking up this morning. I forced myself up so that I can read this passage of the bible and do my time alone with God in the presence of my children. The reasons is that we guard our time with the Lord our God and that the action bear witness that my children will also want to keep God as their personal Lord and God.
I will keep myself fit, I ran yesterday and the reason is so that first I do not want to burden my family and second I want to make my life count for Jesus.
Today is DAY03/10000.
I have to let go or start all over again - I need to round up the Salvation Army project and Sean Project. I need to be accountable to Roy and Andy project. I need to follow up on Steven project. I want to make right and lay down these yoke, so that I can move on. As I pray, I want to move into a higher and tasks that I enjoy doing in God's kingdom. What is it - I am not sure now. But as for now, clear ground zero, say no until I am sure what the Lord has install for me.
I saw an earlier email, that a senior staff refuse OIP for me. Lord, if you close this door, open another opportunities for me. I know that I draw energy from sharing experience with people - talking to them. Teaching is always something I enjoy, let me then start it off with my 2 classes this semester.
I also pray for my family, that they will always be in good hand. That Jo will learn to take up responsibilities and be able to organize them and straighten and tidy up the mess. I pray that he will remember to put things in its place (responsibilities and organization). As I pray for him, let the holy spirit transform him, but I too pray for a transformational learning that I can teach him (you show me, tell me how first and what first). Well I do hope that he will be a responsible father with a well organized life and family, but of course, "You have a plan for him, a plan to prosper him, and not to harm him. A plan of hope and a future" Amem

20 Apr 2015; Isa 24
20 Apr 2015; Isa 24
All will be wasted away.
v21: on that day the Lord will punish the host of heaven, and the kings of the earth, on the earth.
Nothing escape.
But the Lord of hosts reigns (v23)
If all is to be away - what we gather here is temporary. It should not be just words to comfort when you are just nobody or when you cannot achieve anything, therefore take it easy and live life simple.
It goes down deeper to how you view the earth, the universe - a God centered focus. All matters to Him for His purposes.
This is DAY02/10000, I am awake at 0600hrs - so that I commune with God as well as so that my children can see that God centered focus life that you are going to create in me - afresh and anew.
Help me this day to finish the assignment in ACTA.

19 Apr 2015; Gen 13
19 Apr 2015; Gen 13
Background:
Abram came out of Egypt and went back to Negeb. The first place he went was back to the place when he first set up his altar between Bethel and Ai.
Getting Back.
When things goes tough, or did not turn up well - it is about repent, a turn back to God. Abram created a mess in Egypt, and the first is to get back to God in the midst of uncertainty, in the midst of lost..
Breaking through.
At the altar, Abram called upon the Lord.
When he is back, troubles did not end there - quarrels broke out between Lot's and Abram's herdsmen. Abram focus was on God, and he gave Lot the first choice to choose the land.
I have been wondering, purposeless, things did not really turned out well in work (promotion) or even at the business I wanted to set up, or even creating passive income or going to China...
It is therefore not about biting the bullet and pushing the missed agenda through, it is about going back to God.
The focus is about living a life that is God centered, fixing on God in the midst of an unfulfilled live, or when things do not turn out well.
God in a declaration, I should stop. I should now turn back to you. My focus is to seek you for a breakthrough and live a life based on your calling.
Give me a 10000 days or more from now, that I may live a life for you.
Today is DAY01/10000
Here I build an altar at my study place, I called to you Lord as I seek your peace in the midst of so many unsettled tasks. Let me find motivation and purpose and growth in you, and start off today by first focusing my life in you. Amen.

15 April 2015; Joshua 9
15 April 2015; Joshua 9
Diverting from my Isa reading for the day.
I have been asking the Lord, what is the next lap. Quiet.
A group of people who do not know God seek their own preservation plan. They went to the elders of the Israelites and Joshua to seek peace. The elders and Joshua gave and offer peace and did not seek the council of God.
We seek our own preservation plan. Even in Genesis, Abraham seek his own when he deceive the Egyptian that Sarah was his sister.
The need to survive seems to overtake us instinctively. Where then God is in place?
I seek what is the next phase of life. Wait and listen. No action until I hear from God? What is then seeking the council of God?
It is then not to be passive - but an active seeking. Praying and praying.

14 Apr 2015; Isa 23
What are we destine for?
Again and again, another oracle concerning another country, another tribe that the Lord intent to destroy.
This time it is Tyre.The oracle said that in 70 years, Tyre will be forgotten. What then after the 70 years. Not restoration but
At the end of seventy years, the LORD will visit Tyre, and she will return to her wages and will prostitute herself with all the kingdoms of the world on the face of the earth. (Isaiah 23:17 ESV)
In fact the The Lord will channel the wealth of Tyre to those who dwell in the Lord.
What am I destine for?
Will I get out of my drought, that seems for a decade after the peak of enjoying my work - 2005?
I have no 70 years, but just another 30 or 40 more years before age catches up and my body become weak.
How then should I channel or called to be a channel of blessing for the Lord?
Must I step out of what I am doing and find my calling and purpose - Lord help me.
