Adventure of a Missionary

We were talking about the Vision Board and the plans for 2023 at LaCreperie in Shangri-la Plaza Mall when Julz Sebastian asked, "Attorney, how do you manifest so quickly? How do you make it? Why is it so easy for you?"  Of course I answered, because in Mark 11:24 it says that if you ask in prayer, believe you've received it, and you'll get it. I said, "Julz, it doesn't say you'll receive it, it says you'll receive it." So you have to believe you've already got it. That's it.  I knew An Anonymous Girl at the other table was alone. I smiled at her. I know she was listening to us. An Anonymous Girl called the waitress and she  rushed to the cashier. I thought she had an emergency. While we, Julz and I chatted, laughed, and talked. I called the waitress for the bill. I was nervous because of the size of my bag, so I looked for my wallet. I eat here almost every day. So I know I'd always get the bill from an open receipt holder every time ...

Have you ever wondered why patience is such an important element of love?   Patience is a beautiful descriptor of love. It describes a heart with room and with flexibility.  In the Bible, the word for patience is sometimes translated as long-suffering, which means it is willing to suffer, willing to bear discomfort, willing to allow time to pass and not demand immediate answers.  Patience is the quality of bearing offenses and injuries without anger or revenge. It is impossible to do in our own willpower. I know this from experience. It must come from God, from that "hesed" love.  Hesed is one of the Hebrew words used in the Bible for God’s love.  "Though the mountains be shaken, and the hills be removed, yet My unfailing love (hesed) for you will not be shaken." ~Isaiah 54:10 "The Lord did not set His love (hashaq) on you nor choose you because you were more in number than any other people, for you were the least of all peoples; but because the Lord loves (hes...

  How many days did you lose in 2022? | By Serene Chah Maybe you lost 180 days because you didn’t know how to resolve conflict with ONE person; maybe you turned 2 effective weeks into 2 anxious weeks because you argued with your spouse; maybe you lost 3 months because of one wrong move. You have been lied to by society that if you set goals in the new year you must achieve 100% of them, otherwise you “are a failure”. If that is the case your goal is too small. There is no room to stretch for faith. If you achieve below 50% of your goals it shows that you’re not discipline. I’d say hitting 80% within the time frame is a sweet spot. All throughout Bible we see whenever a man or woman of God is setting eyes to a goal it involves a few things: faith (actions), believe (hold onto the promises of God), very well structured plans, instructions/voice of God, obedience & overcoming fear of unknown, good leadership skills & communication skills with teammates. You see this in ...

Not everyone is looking forward to celebrating Christmas just like the others. There's going to be an empty seat at their table now. Some with an empty space under their Christmas tree. Some with wet pillowcases and broken hearts. It's hard for some people to celebrate this season, so my prayer for today is that we might be more sensitive and show compassion, comfort and understanding to those struggling. To those of you seeing Christmas as a time not of joy but of sorrow and in grief, this is my prayer for you: Lord, thank You for understanding those who are hurting right now. It could be because of loss, illness, lack, or brokenness. We know that tears are more than enough to communicate with You. Thank You because You are the God of Comfort, the God where they can cast all their anxieties because You care for them. Help them see that You are with them, not rushing their feelings and never pressuring them to do more than what they can at this time. You said in Your Word that ...
