Light Of The World!

Hello there, world! I'm Yong Zhen Kheng a.k.a King! I'm a 24 young man who has given my life to God! I face plenty of challenges and mountains daily, but it is by the grace of God that I'm able to stand tall with His strength in such a world that we live in. "Light Of The World!" is the name of my blog. Because in such a dark world that we live in, everyone is looking for that something somewhere somehow to fill and satisfy their souls. And that is where the Word of God comes in, where love and hope are always present and living. God is the Light of the world, and my prayer is that we will go beyond the call of duty to show love to the people around us with the love that He has shown us - That they may know just how real and amazing our God is! This is what we're here for: To show the world how He love it. This is what we're made for: To lay it all down like He did :) Our God is an awesome God, He reigns from heaven and earth, with wisdom, power and love, our God is an awesome God! And He has chosen us to be the Light of the world, so come let us share the Good News with the world together! (:
>> Sincerely, a man on many missions.

Be Thankful Everyday =)

Dear readers, I wanna ask you a favor.

Have you seen anybody in your life with a fatal condition?
Have you seen anybody on their deathbed?
Have you seen anybody in a casket lying breathlessly?
Have you seen anybody with no hands or no legs?
Have you seen anybody with a deformed body?
Have you seen anybody who is begging for money, food or water on the street?
Have you seen anybody who has alot of physical or mental disadvantages?

I want you to know, God is a Merciful God. You might wonder why are there people who are born deaf, mute or even deformed!? Why are people given birth into a poor family!? Why are people given birth with a fatal condition that you can only cry when you see it!? Why are there so many unfairness to other people!?

Well, here's what I want to tell you. We will never now why God give so many people fatal conditions and other things we know its scary, but we know that we are not judged according to our bodies at the end times! The only thing that matters most is that we BELIEVE IN HIM! And OBEY HIS WORDS! For the angels will DIVIDE the GOOD and evil to 2 sides, and the GOOD will enter through the gates of heaven; whereas the evil will be thrown out into the darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth!

So I wanna encourage you, even as you battle off the temptations around you, or even as you live your life daily, I want you to take the time to thank God everyday! How pleased will He be to know that you acknowledge Him as your Provider and thank Him for everything that comes your way! If you are praying to God to take away something in your life, it may be a disease, sickness or even an illness, He might probably take it away, but if He don't then He will make you stronger to overcome it! I have many friends who have mental and physical disorders, but they praise God even though they have these disadvantages for they know God has great plans for them!

Remember to thank God everyday of your life! Though sometimes we think why bad things are happening to us, it actually is good for the Lord will use those bad things to build you up! It is good in His eyes =) Whenever a huge ocean wave comes your way, look at it with this perspective: Hey! This ocean coming my way, I'm sure there is a reason for it! It might be bad at sight, but I know at the end of the day, it will build me up stronger! =)

Have a nice day dear readers! God bless you!

Let Me Share With You Friends! =)

Hi dear readers! Allow me to share with you what I have learnt through the Bible! =)

I was reading the book of Matthew, from Matthew 4:18-20 it says "As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, He saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. "Come, follow me," Jesus said, "and I will make you fishers of men." At once they left their nets and followed Him."
(Isn't it awesome how both Peter and Andrew just followed Jesus at once? It is really amazing that at the first moment Jesus asked them to follow Him, they left what they were doing and headed straight to the LORD! What do you think made Jesus' disciples drop everything they were doing and follow Him? What exactly was it that made you want to turn over your life to His care and control? Think about it! =) )

Futhermore, I was reading Matthew 4:1-11, it was the moment where Jesus was lead to the desert to be tempted by the devil. It was rather amazing what had happened between Jesus and satan as Jesus battled satan with the Word of GOD! Notice how Jesus dealt with satan's challenges, He didn't abuse His power by doing the things satan wanted Him to do! Instead he steered clear of the temptations completely! He refused to do anything that might cause Him to sin! He used a weapon that satan has no defense against, 'THE TRUTH OF GOD's WORD!'. Each time satan tempted Jesus, Jesus fired back with Scripture, exposing Satan's temptation for the lies that it was! When you're facing your enemy, remember what weapons are at your disposal! (The Bible! :D )

From Matthew 5:5, it says "Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth." Now, what does it mean to be meek? Who are the truly humble types? They are the guys who don't have to be first all the time! They are the guys who don't grab the spotlight every chance they get! They are the guys who don't have a problem doing thankless jobs! They are the guys who care more about the team than themselves! They are the guys who listen instead of always trying to dominate the conversation! In addition, they are the guys who realize they wouldn't have anything if it weren't for GOD - who recognize all that GOD has done for them and give Him all the credit instead of praising themselves! That's what being meek is about, you don't need to be first all the time! Remember, many who are first will be the last, and many who are last will be the first!

From Matthew 5:10-12, it says "Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you."
(You see, these verses encourages us alot who are going through it! I was reading on the internet, 9 Christians are recently arrested in Malaysia for preaching to the Muslims, but they were eventually released by the authorities. [http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090715/ap_on_re_as/as_malaysia_christians_arrested;_ylt=AtqN8yO7yf_Z6axK2tvHHO6s0NUE;_ylu=X3oDMTFiNnVvb3RvBHBvcwM1NQRzZWMDYWNjb3JkaW9uX3dvcmxkBHNsawNtYWxheXNpYWFycmU-] You can check it out on this website. I am moved that the Christians in our country Malaysia is still sharing the Good News to the Muslims! This is what GOD would say to you when you are going through situations like that, "People will make fun of you when they find out that you're serious about your beliefs. Some will spread rumors about you, you may even lose a friendship over Me, but for every bad things that happens to you on account of Me, I will reward you a million times and more in heaven!" You can definitely count on that =) )

From Matthew 5:43-48, it tells us to love our enemies at all cost! Do you have an actual enemy, someone you really can't stand, or someone who really can't stand you, or both? Do you still remember what it was that made you both enemies? What do you think would happen if you swallowed your pride and apologized to that person for you part in conflict even if it's just for having a negative attitude towards him/her? What if you supported your apology with a few sincere words about your getting along? Do you think you'd be made fun of, ignored, yelled at or laughed out of the room? You might be, but your action of love might also reduce your enemy total by one! Nobody wants enemies, I'm sure not even you! So remember the next time you're in a conflict with anybody, be it your friend, family member or even your enemies, remember to gulp down your pride and humble yourselves, apologize to them even though you've got a little anger towards them, so that they may praise our Father in heaven! =)

Besides that, do you remember the LORD's prayer? Well, its in Matthew 6:9-13! It's the kind of prayer Jesus wants us to pray! For He knows everything we need! Here's an idea for the next time you spend some quiet time with GOD, try putting the LORD's prayer in your own words and using that as your prayer! Try to be creative with the words as even David the psalmist also did! He described everything really detailed!

Two more things I wanna share with you dear readers, from Matthew 6:19 it says "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where theives break in and steal." And yes that is so true! Let me give you an example, imagine you're a really rich person, you can buy almost anything you see anywhere! But suddenly, the police gave you a call and tell you that all your money in the bank has been stolen by thieves and they are nowhere to be found! Every single little bit of your cent is in ruin! You were so shocked by what had happened and it gave you a heart attack! Wouldn't every treasures you stored on earth become nothing? It would all just be a waste wouldn't it? Oh yeah it would be a total waste! Well, have you seen the bumper sticker that says "The one who dies with the most toys wins"? That attitude is not only wrong, but it's also dangerous! As far as GOD is concern, those who die with the most toys have wasted their time on earthly things and have put their eternity in jeopardy!

Finally, I wanna talk about worry! There are millions and billions of people all around the world who worry for at least one thing in their life! Some might be financial worry, some are family issues, some are relationship status and some worry about what their future might be! For me, I used to worry about my future, I was always afraid to take the next step forward and advance in my life! Well, I have learnt that worrying about something really kills your time! We might worry once in awhile, but we have to keep in our mind that GOD IS IN CONTROL! Here's a simple strategy for dealing with worry, take care of the things that you can do something about which are the things that are within your power to control! And leave the rest to GOD! Trusting Him is the best decision you can make when it comes to worrying! So do not worry my friends, GOD will help you no matter what kind of situation you are encountering with! He has done so with me, and He will help you too! Always remember this verse, from Matthew 6:33 "But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." =)

Well, here comes to the point where I'll say farewell! May GOD BLESS YOU! Remember to look to the LORD in times of trouble, for HE is you refuge and tower at all times! Be strong and courageous, for the LORD your GOD is with you wherever you go! =)

I Just Want To Say To You...

HEY! DEAR READER!

I just want you to know that life is a journey full of adventures, with many bumpy roads and hilly mountains! Sometimes you gotta hike, and sometimes you can just sit down and gaze at the beauty of life! Yes, life is not a perfect thing, but with the eternal hope GOD has promised us in the future, you don't need to worry any single bit of your life! If you're going through any difficult situations in your adventure right now, take heart that GOD is in control, and He is watching you from a distant space around you! Take note that He has took care of more than a quadrillion people for the past thousands of years! And until now, He is still faithful taking care of you! If it weren't for Jesus Christ, humanity would have been wiped out by the mighty hand of GOD! But as Jesus died for our sins, we are saved and our salvation has been restored by Him! :D

If you're still a teenager like me, I wanna encourage you to stay strong in the LORD, for when you grow old and when a multitude of ocean waves come hit you, you'll remember what the LORD has done in your life and know that He can calm any storm in your life! Be strong and courageous, for the LORD your GOD is with you! :D

Life ain't easy, but the Holy Spirit will give you the strength you need to face every obstacles in your life daily! Somewhere in a distant space around us, GOD is looking at us and saying "I have great plans for all my people, I will be with them till eternity!" However, we have to obey his commandments! Which are:
(a) Do not murder and do not hate!
(b) Do not commit adultery and do not lust at another person!
(c) Do not steal!
(d) Do not give false testimony, even if it sounds cool, don't try it!
(e) Honor your father and mother! They raised you up from ground zero!
Furthermore,
Jesus said in the book of Matthew 19:21 "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."

From Matthew 18:2-4, "Jesus called a little child and had him stand among his disciples. And Jesus said "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.""

Well, I pray and hope that you will remind yourself with these things! Have a nice day ladies and gentlemen! =)

Our God Is Our Provider! =)

Dear readers, I am writing this on a Saturday night! I wanna share with you what I learnt and perhaps you will learn something from this too!

Do you have a body that enables you to move? Do you have eyes that gives you sight? Do you have a nose that gives you the ability to smell? Do you have a mouth that enables you to communicate with your loved ones? Do you have a car that gets you to a place in a flash? Do you have a shelter which you can stay at and call it home? Do you have a family where you can smile and thank God for despite the arguments and fights? Do you have enough drink and food everyday? Do you have a conscious that tells you what is right and wrong? Do you have wisdom and knowledge that guides you and brings your feet to the right place? Do you have anything in your life that you are happy about? Do you have anyone in your life that you treasure most?

You should thank God for anything and everything despite all the bads you go through. Until you learn to thank God for anything given to you in your life, and see that everything comes from God, only then will you not want so much and know that your God is your PROVIDER! =) Be it just a small glass of water, a little pat on your back by your friend, or a noisy and frustrating day, know that GOD IS IN CONTROL, and HE is always a step ahead of you! So do ask HIM for HIS insights as well as HIS guidance! He has sent His one and only son, Jesus Christ to die for us and restore our salvation, THANK GOD FOR IT! He has sent the Holy Spirit to dwell in our hearts and guide us through our entire life, THANK GOD FOR IT! And He has given us a Hope which we will never be disappointed, being able to be with Him Forever and Ever! Amen!

If you feel like giving up, or the journey ahead is just too long and dry,
Remember that your GOD will be waiting at the end of the road.
If you feel like letting go, or the rope you're holding on to seems too heavy,
Remember that your GOD will keep holding and not let the rope go.
If you feel like losing out, or the challenge is just too hard,
Remember that your GOD will help you through anything.
If you feel like falling out, or the mountain just seems too high,
Remember that your GOD will be at the top of the mountain waiting for you.

Remember that God is with you, and He will be by your side till the end of time!

Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near! Until you learn to give up your own sinful desires and take up the cross and follow Him, until you believe that Jesus has raised from the dead and died for your sins, until you repent and acknowledge that you're a sinner, only then will you be able to enter the kingdom of heaven! GOD has ruled over death, death is no longer powerful. GOD has reigned victoriously over death, so do not worry about your death. Satan has been crushed under GOD's feet, and satan will try anything he can to get your attention away from GOD. At times he will deceive you and lie to you, he will tell lies and deceit and make you fall. But remember to stand up and walk again, He is at the doorstep of your heart knocking, remember to open the door and let Him in.

Whatever you have now, be it good or bad,
Whatever seasons you are going through now, be it happy or sad,
Know that God gave them to you, to teach you and mold you into what He wants you to be!

As you wait for GOD to return, your faith might stumble and shake at times, you might fall astray and go as far away from GOD as you don't realize, but GOD is merciful and graceful! He loves you very much and wants you to be saved, only if you choose to follow Him.

If you are praying for something and hoping as well as believing in something, let GOD know it, for He is your PROVIDER! If HE takes care of the birds in the air by giving them food even though they have no food factory nor any food stalls, how much more will your FATHER IN HEAVEN take care of you? At the end of the day, it all comes back to GOD, remember to ask for forgiveness and thank Him as well as acknowledging that you are saved by the resurrection of Jesus Christ. =)

May GOD bless you, good night my fellow readers. =)

HOPE IS ALWAYS HERE FOR US ALL! =)

Dear ladies and gentlemen, wherever you may come from, I want to share a story with you.

Once upon a long time ago, there lived a boy who came from a broken family. Everyday, evil spirits would roam around his family's house and bring into existence violence and hatred among them. Many times his family have almost separated, but they would always reunite at the end of the day. However, one day his parents decided to live separately. While the boy was going through difficult times in his family, he was also going through a rather tough time with the person he loves. He would cry silently almost everyday without letting anybody know. Almost everything was gone from his life, he was so tired to get up and walk again in his life. Giving up was the brightest option he had left, and as he was about to give up, he saw hope. This was not any ordinary hope, instead it was an unbelievable extraordinary hope which he experienced so greatly. That hope made him to walk again, to persist in whatever trouble he is going through and keep fighting on. He eventually realized a multitude of things and decided to share it to the world. As for now, he is still a growing kid, still learning from life itself and look forward to what is to come in his life, for he knows that life is still worth-while despite all the circumstances and difficult moments that tries to pull him down. Where does his hope comes from? It comes from God, no other hope like His. God was so graceful, merciful and loving that He restored his life and told Him that it's never too late to stand up again! This boy is me, and I wanna encourage you not to give up! God is coming back for sure! THERE IS STILL HOPE! Whatever crazy moments you are going through right now, know that GOD IS IN CHARGE! Be strong in your faith dear reader, and remember to always humble yourself. In trying times, don't quit too soon, GOD will help you at the perfect moment!

I have lived for almost 18 years, and I am thankful for every single thing GOD has done in my life! Through these 18 years, I went through so many ups and downs situations, and I can tell you that HE IS REAL! GOD IS SO REAL! I will not be living if it wasn't for HIM! HE gave me hope, and I am 100% sure that HE will give you hope in times when the world feels like the end! =)

May God Bless you dear reader, remember to obey HIM at all times, GOD will be there for you =)

As I dwell in your presence and seek your kingdom of righteousnes, may you equip me and guide me to be salt and light to the world!
