Choose to go forward and not backward…cut off the negative pasts that hinder. ~ Cheong Kok Weng

IMG_4662

Cut-off the past failures, mistakes, opinions of and people who are still shackled to the past of us as we don’t live in their manacles of their images of us anymore; for the past is no more and the new has come – a long time since. The past is not the future – under no circumstances, let them be a weight that weighs us down, for they do not belong in our lives. We are now a new person – don’t go back to the days of yore for we were a vastly different person then.

We need to learn what we can from the past but it had to be placed in perspective let it be a learning experience – do not let it imprisons us. We must not let the negative pasts have the power over us or the future. Let the painful memories go, let them be written in the sand so that they can be easily erased from our memories and remember them no more. Bring the past only if we are going to build from it. Don’t look back because we are not going to go that way again. Release the past, stand firmly in the present, step confidently into the future, with God’s help.

Our life is like a book. Some of the characters who “entered” have passing roles to play, others, much lengthier. But all are “de rigueur”, else they wouldn’t be in the story-line, under the watchful eyes of God. Welcome them all, and move on to the next chapter which God countenances us to be the author and empowers us to write new chapters afresh.

Let us appreciate and revel-in working and living in the present. Let us take the right choices and actions now and going forward too into the future.

Remember this words: “When one door closes another door opens; but we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed-door, that we do not see the ones which open for us. ~ Alexander Graham Bell

May God bless you.

Blessed 2016 ! May this be a great year, with significant and wonderful accomplishments – with God’s help.

Jan 1, 2016 – a Brand New Year ahead of us. May we accomplish much for what we intend to do for this year – with God’s help. People sometimes feel guilty about an accomplishment or having a good time. This need not be so. We can be pleased with our accomplishments – when God is pleased with it, just as God was pleased with His work.

God said through His revealed Word in Genesis 1:1 “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.”

“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.” Genesis 1:26

“And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good.” Genesis 1:31

We thank God for His rescue plan (see ***) and that’s why we have the great hope today, JANUARY 1, 2016

***The 2015 Christmas day has come and gone. However, take heart, God’s rescue plan, which came in the fullness of time, on the 1st Christmas for humanity is never ‘gone’  and is still available anytime to all who wants to partake of it.  [Let’s go back to the  Chile’s 2010 33 miners incident. Click here –> 33 Chilean miners_2010 They waited and waited for that rescue and when it arrived, all accepted the opportunity to be saved from that deep underground prison – one may refuse though if that’s what one wanted.] God has provided the way for us (and one may choose to refuse the way though).

“And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.” Luke2:10-14

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:6

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16

“And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins.

Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,

Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.” Matthew 1:21-23

” ..the living God… He delivereth and rescueth, and he worketh signs and wonders in heaven and in earth..” Daniel 6:26-27

For the Soul, Quotes:CKW

The truths is, some of our choices have great & climactic consequences. ~ Cheong Kok Weng

The truths is, some of our choices have great & climactic consequences –  the actions resulting or what happens, when we act on our interpretations or inferences. It is about what we do because we have come to a conclusion, that impacts or has an effect on how we act …actions that come from our beliefs.

There is one climactic choice we made on earth that has eternal consequences, one that determines the destination of our eternal destiny – heaven or hell and nothing in between!

steps

We need to bear in mind that the way to heaven, the abode of the Lord Most High, is through His terms, not ours.

“Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: 

And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?” John 11:25-26

cross

“I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.” John 10:9-11

“No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again.” John 10:18a

We have this DAILY gift of the choice of CHOOSING WELL… ~ Cheong Kok Weng

 

 

Version 3

We have this DAILY gift of choice of CHOOSING WELL. May God help us to use this gift well. ~ Cheong Kok Weng

God gave us the responsibilities for writing on the pages and chapters of the book of our lives – through the power of daily choices translated into actions.

By the way – “in an enormously big way”, our eternal future and destiny rest with the choices we  made – God gave this choice to us and we have to make the choice.

The Choice Is Ours.

Every right choices we make impacts us positively and helps us to reverse or mitigate the wrong decisions we’ve made in the past.

“I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:” Deuteronomy 30:19

When God tells us to “choose life,” He’s actually showing us what wisdom looks like – it’s life-giving.

It’s so good to know we can do something to choose life.

We can consistently make good choices with God’s help.

We can do it and make right choices now.

“Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.” Genesis 2:24

Marriage as between a man and a woman was and is well understood even before and ever since the beginning of civilisation that’s why it was not needed to be defined in the Constitutional Law as it was assumed and understood to be just that, i.e., between a man and a woman.

In view of the foregoing, the Supreme Court of the US should not be given the power to redefine marriage for the US. It’s preposterous, heinous and shockingly bad that it just required 5 lawyers to redefine an institution that has existed way before the USA was founded as a nation on the 4th of July 1776. Instead of upholding what is right in the eyes of the CREATOR who alone has the right to design and define marriage, the supreme court has become lawless in its act – what a contemptible and  abominable TRAVESTY of justice and righteousness that it is supposed to uphold!

The architects’ of the US Federal Constitutional Law original intention of marriage as assumed (as understood though unstated) to be between a man and a woman, had been debased and corrupted by the 5 lawyers – 5 mere frail humans who knowingly have chosen to reject and nullify God’s design for marriage; that of between a man and a woman.  Everyone has a choice (therefore Romans 1:32 applies to the 5) but one may not choose the consequence that is attached to the choice.

The right thinking people of the US must now act and call for the law makers to make a “Federal constitutional amendment – to define marriage – as between one man and one woman” as intended, but not specified because it was deemed to be unthinkable for a same sex marriage definition, in the original Federal Constitutional Law.

Marriage between a man and a woman was instituted by God for the first human male Adam and the first human female Eve. It was not designed to be between Adam and Jim, else Eve would have been created as Jim.

God said in Genesis 2:24

“Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.”

Jesus said in Matthew 19:4-5

“And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,

And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?”

Romans 1:18-28,32

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

 

32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
