Dear readers, I want to encourage and share with you.
I have been hiding all these while, from all my past failures and mistakes as well as my weaknesses and disadvantages. I have been walking on a rather dark road in my life as I look for some light. All the challenges and tests that I struggle, all the obstacles and mountains that I have to climb, it all seems so huge like it's going to crush me down into a million pieces.
I had a dream a while ago, in my dream, I dreamt about:
"Jesus was riding his golden chariot with fire down the blue clouds, and I was not saved in my dreams."
And after a few days my second older brother, Joseph dreamt about me, he dreamt that:
"I was melting, I was literally dying as I melt..." The way I died was so horrible that it woke him up and he was screaming out loudly because the nightmare was so terrible.
I know it's me, I know somehow there is something going on in my life, trying to stop me from reaching my goal to Jesus, and that is satan! How dreadful satan's lies can be, he will do anything to distract me from entering the kingdom of heaven.
In addition, I have been silently crying over an issue which disappeared into thin air so suddenly. In my mind, I kept thinking what went wrong, but nothing was ever discussed between us. Many times I feel like giving it all up, but God does not want me to give it up. He tells me to stand up and walk with Him, to be proud of what He has done, and not let the things of this world distract me from accomplishing His will in my life. Yes I have cried a million times in my life over many things, sometimes I would cry a litre of tears over an issue and conflict in my life. However, I know it's not the end, I give Him the final say.
All I have to do is get back on track with Him, and obey every single words written in the Bible by Him. I also have to witness to the people who does not know who He really is, before it's too late.
Allow me to encourage you to stay strong in the Lord. If you are struggling with any issues in life, know that there are millions of people in the world struggling too. If people persecute you for the faith you have in Jesus Christ, know that they persecuted our Lord Jesus Christ first. Do not be afraid of the world, they can only do you so much pain here. Just hold on a little longer, He'll be back soon =)
At some point of your life, you're going to feel like God is not there. It will seem like God is not answering your prayer nor talking to you, but remember that He will never forsake you. He will never pile up your plate with too much things that you can't handle, He is a loving and graceful God. And He wants the best for you! Sometimes He will bend your plan and adjust your path a little, it might be hurting and painful at a moment of time, but you'll thank Him later when you see what He's doing in your life! We have the greatest privilege in knowing Him, let us share it to the world together my dear brothers and sisters! =)
Farewell to you dear reader, and God bless you.

Something To Share To Christians.
Dear Christians all over the world, I wanna share something with you.
We know that God has forgiven us for our sins. We also know that God will be coming back soon, we are just waiting for Him. Furthermore, we know that God will judge us according to what we have done as it is said in Revelation 20:13 "...and each person was judged according to what he had done." It is crystal clear to know that we should live our lives righteous at all times, to honor Him with our body for He has paid for our sins and forgiven us. And we should also tell the Good News to the world, that Jesus Christ has died for their sins and they are now free! These are the things we should focus, living right in God's eyes, standing up for God's word, and telling the Good News to the world.
On the cross, where Jesus was nailed to, He breathed his last breath and said "It is finished!" He said that everything has been done!
Allow me to share with you,
from Revelation 21:3-4, it says "And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and He will live with them. They will be His people, and God Himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.""
(All real and lasting happiness, joy and fulfillment comes from God. The closer we get to Him, the happier, more joyful and more fulfilled we become! Someday, we will be in God's actual presence, which means we'll know what it feels like to be perfectly happy, joyful and fulfilled... forever!)
Yes, He is coming soon, that's a promise you can count on! No matter how insane the world gets and no matter how strong satan's influence may seem, never give up hope! Always remember that your Lord is coming to make things right!
May God bless you and may you have a nice day =)
Peace and grace to you!

A Thanksgiving to God! :D
Dear reader, I wanna share something that happened today!
As you know, from the Bible, the book of Ecclesiastes 3:1-8, it says the there is a time for everything. So as for me, I am going through a bumpy road in my life at this moment. I am in the middle of my ups and downs, but still hoping, believing and keeping my faith in Him. If you're reading this and you want to pray for me, you are most welcomed =)
Back to my story! After my college class ended, I went to the Information Center to meet my counselor. After our talk was over, I askedif I could talk to her for a while more. I told her that I am going through my ups and downs in life, and that if it is according to His will, may it be good or bad, I give my life to Him and pray that He will help me. Upon hearing this, my counselor suddenly smiled and told me "Kheng, to tell you the truth, I am encouraged by you. I am really encouraged by you because of what you are doing. For many people, they just tell me because of their family, or their circumstances in life that is why they are like this and that. But you are the opposite of them! You trust God even though you have so many problems in your life, family, personal things and so many things. I am really happy of you, you have touched my heart!"
I was definitely happy to hear these words from my counselor as she was a Christian! And she continued on by saying "I have not prayed for a long time, and you have reminded me that I should pray, thank you very much!"
I was stunned and amazed, because I did not expect this at all! What I expected was because my life is in its bumpy road, I wanted my counselor to pray for me, but turns out that I encouraged her! I then prayed for my counselor and I in the Information Center. She said that she had never prayed with anyone nor even herself in the Information Center, and I am glad that we met today!
I wanna thank God for everything He has done in my life, be it good or bad, through tears and joy, I will put my trust in Him! =)
Dear reader, I encourage you to share you problems with your friends, or even to somebody close to you! You might encourage them or even open their eyes to many things! The world tells us that real guys don't cry, but real guys do cry! The world also tells us that real guys should not share their problems in their lives for people might identify their weaknesses, but real guys do share thir problems in their lives to people because we need friends! We need people to help pray for us too! We cannot handle this alone, we need friends to cheer us up when we are down! And we need God in every situation of our lives!
I hope you are touched by this story, may God bless you =)

More Encouragement for you! :D
Dear reader! I am touched after sharing this point with my cellgroup members.
It was Friday night in my cellgroup where I told the people this "Prayer is very important! If you can always remember to go for a date, if you can always remember to go for a meeting, to do schoolworks and always finishing them in time, if you can always remember to catch up with an old friend, or even a promotion in your job tomorrow, HOW ABOUT GOD?? HE IS OUR PROVIDER! He gave us all we need, everything came from Him! He wants you to talk to Him! So don't forget to pray to Him, as He wants to talk to you! Prayer is not meditating and talking to yourself, but prayer is a conversation with God! So no matter how tired you are, make time for Him!"
Dear reader, I hope you'll pray everyday too =)
Tonight, allow me to encourage you and share with you the word of God! :D
Firstly, I wanna talk about Understanding Worship!
If worshipping the Lord doesn't seem like an exciting way to spend eternity, it's because you don't understand what real worship can be like! Think of the most exciting sport event you've ever seen in person, or an event where you have participated. Now think of the most exciting moment in that game! The play that made you jump to your feet and start screaming like a maniac. Think about how exciting it was to experience that moment with hundreds (or thousands) of people who appreciated it as much as you did! That's just a small taste of that worship in heaven will be like! Imagine what your reaction will be when you finally see for yourself just how awesome GOD REALLY IS!!
(Remember, GOD IS REAL! Do not just worship Him with your mouth, but with your heart!)
Secondly, I wanna talk about Leaving Vengeance to God!
Throughout the Bible, God warns us NOT TO TAKE REVENGE on people who do evil things to us. Instead, He instructs us to LEAVE VENGEANCE IN HIS HANDS! Read Revelation 16, it talks about vengeance clearly and it shows us why that's a good idea! When God judges evil, He will do so in a way that's so extreme, so intense and so PERFECT that it will shock the world!
(If you have any hatred, or hatred you have kept in your heart for a long time, give it to God! He will know what to do! By any means, do not do it on your own, but hand it over to God.)
Thirdly, from Revelation 16:21, it says "From the sky huge hailstones of about a hundred pounds each fell upon men. And they cursed God on account of the plague of hail, because the plauge was so terrible."
Add up the damage, destruction and suffering that result from God's seal judgement, trumpet judgements and bowl judgements. Think about this the next time someone tries to tell you that sin and disobedient are no big deal!
(Remember to ask God for wisdom, understanding, guidance and knowledge! So that you may be able to discern what is right and wrong!)
Fourthly, I wanna talk about Understanding Jesus' Return!
The first time Jesus came to our planet, it was a tiny, helpless baby! Next time, it will be as the conquering Warrior and King! When He returns, everyone who rejected Him or wrote Him off as nothing more than a teacher or philosopher WILL SEE HIM as He really is in all His glory and power! That's when they'll realize what a terrible mistake they have made! If you already now what Jesus is really like, your job is to help others see Him for who He really is...... before it's too late.
(If you are a Christian, think of the people close to you. If you care for them, you would try endlessly to bring them to Christ for you know the experience you have gotten from God is amazing! But pray first! Do not do it on your own strength, but rely on His! Open your ears and hear Him speak to you.)
Finally, I wanna talk about Revelation 20:11-13. It says "Then I saw a great white throne and Him who was seated on it. Earth and sky fled from His presence, and there was no place for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what he had done."
(In the end, everyone gets exactly what's coming to them. The Lord keeps track of every ungodly decision, every greedy choice, every sexual sin, every betrayal and every lie. Remember, your actions, good or bad, reveal wher your loyalties truly lie.)
This is all for tonight! Hope you will take heart at least one of the things written here! May the word of God dwell in you always! God night and God bless you! =)

An Encouragement For You! :D
Dear reader, I want to share with you and encourage you!
Firstly, I wanna talk about "Loving Other Believers!"
If you've ever been a fan of a music group, you've probably hear the term "Chemistry." People use it to talk about how well members of a group relate to one another and work together. There's another word for chemistry: LOVE! Think of a group that you're a part of, any group! Cellgroup, college group, and any other groups you can think of! How different would that group be if each person really cared about every other person, that is, if everybody was looking out for each other, serving and sacrificing for one another? That is the kind of living Jesus commands of his people, the first love which He calls us!
(Remember to start the day tomorrow with love!)
Secondly, I wanna talk about "Developing Extreme Faith!"
Jesus expects us to TAKE OUR FAITHFULNESS AND OBEDIENCE to Him to the EXTREME! "Lukewarm" Christianity disgusts Him! He wants us to break out of our COMFORT ZONE and GET RADICAL in LIVING FOR HIM! If your Christian faith isn't making a major difference in your life, and in the lives of the people around you, it's time to shake things up!
God says: "You can fool some of the people some of the time, but you can't fool me any of the time. I know what you do because of your love for me, and I know what you do because you want to impress others. Give your heart to me, and let me change your mindset and your passions."
(If you don't feel right with God, He's always waiting for you to give you another chance until you ask Him! Remember to repent, not just make a confession!)
Thirdly, I wanna talk about Revelation 4:1, it says "... Come up here, I will show you what must take place after this."
God wants us to know that He is the ONLY ONE who can show anyone what's in store down the road for them! Some people will try anything to figure out what the future holds, with horoscopes, physhic hotlines, tarot cards, palm reading, tea leaves, magic eight ball, future-telling and even looking into your eyes and say "I see it!" But God is the person you should go to if you need anything!
(From Matthew 6:33 - 34, it says "But seek first His kingdom of righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble on its own." Until you get right with God, only can you see His plan and purpose for you!)
Fourthly, I wanna share with you something I learned from the Bible!
People often ask, "When is God going to do something about all the evil in the world?" The thing about God's judgement, though, is that when it does come, a lot of people are sorry they asked for it. God doesn't mess around when it comes to judgement and His eternal glory!
Furthermore, God never lose track of His people, even in the midst of His judgement! No matter how bad things get in this world, God will always be with us... or He'll bring us to Himself in heaven! Either way, we have nothing to fear!
(God is always here with us! Remember, there are angels taking care of you even as you sleep hey! =) Have faith!)
Well, I would like to end here! I will write again when I am free! Although there are so many things written here, I hope you are inspired by at least one of them!
May God bless you! Have a nice day! =)

A Thankful Day!
Good morning ladies and gentlemen, it's Mr.King here! Allow me to continue my speech! Well, It was a Saturday which was June 6th 2009, and I went out with my church friend, Miss Cassie! She's a nice person by the way! After our movie, we were supposed to go home, but we received a message from another of our church member! It was Miss Jeanette! The message wrote that a guy was trying to do something to her!! He was kinda like trying to rape her and many crazy stuffs! So Miss Cassie and I quickly ran to the location they were at and came to the rescue!! I was praying real hard for the guy to stop this ridiculous thing, and for the girl to be saved! And eventually, the guy got a litle fed up and went home. I thank GOD for that, if HE did not put us there, Miss Jeanette might be in big trouble! And after Miss Cassie and Miss Jeanette went home, I met Miss Melissa Deng! She's dressed in a black dress! And a BIG WHITE handbag! :D I joined her and we sat on a weird red chair looking thing and fellowship! It was a funny conversation for we had really random stuffs coming out from within us! Haha.. I obviously confessed many things to her, and I thank GOD for giving the both of us that opportunity to talk! I've always wanted to meet her, not knowing how she has been, and finally we did! Thank you LORD! It felt like she was still the same height, looking more matured, more beautiful and she's still the Melissa that I know! :D I do hope to hang out with her in the future, before her college begins! After Melissa and I departed from 1U, I went to a pot-luck party organized by Miss Soo Fern! It was her new house, so everything was so NEW!!! Amazingly, I met my old school classmates! It was Mr. Wei Siang, Mr. Hsiao Wei, Mr. Boon Leong and Miss Soo Fern of course! I thank GOD for giving that time for us to meet up even though our schedules are tight in college!
I just wana thank GOD for everything HE has done in my life! From the first second I was given birth up till this day and my future! He has taught me many things in life, and I will share it to the world and spread the GOOD NEWS!! I am stil believing in a prophecy that has been given to me by Reverend Chris Pillay, "God will raise you up into a pastor!" :D
Have a nice day to you dear reader, may God bless you! =)
