“And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.”
Revelation 21:3-7
Each day is a gift from our Creator. May we
make the daily choices before us that make us stronger and better each day. Choose to make choices that help us to soar to greater heights and cut-off baggages that weigh us down.
We are grateful to God who gives us the dawn of the new day, each day.
We can break free from the inaction of the past because God gives us the powerful will and it is up to us to exercise the will and take immediate action.
We can do it, by the power of the will that God has graciously granted to us.
Praise be to God, our Maker.
Malaysia had its recent 14th general election. And the results was a triumphant victory against gross corruptions perpetrated by the previous Prime Minister, where billions were stolen from the nation’s coffer; with proof by the Department of Justice, USA that US$781 millions alone went into his private account in one of the banks in Kuala Lumpur.
A new government came into existence after 61 years.
The people of Malaysia rose to the occasion, and base on evidence, facts & truth, among others, booted out the previous extremely corrupt and draconian regime.
A new dawn of a refreshing era has arrived in Malaysia.
We praise the Almighty God for this.
# Evidence, Facts & Truths always remains STEADFAST.
So we exist, it would appear, in a world where truth is punished and liars may lie at will.
Liars and believing a lie are both in the “similar or same camp” – they “walked crookedly”.
People choose to believe lies because, they do not love the truth and delight in unrighteousness.
In addition, among others; they are afraid of the truth or understanding the truth of things may not be a positive experience as truth may result in pain, especially if one has deluded himself for a long time. Why bother with unfortunate truths when you can delude yourself with a pleasant lie.
Some would rather wear lenses that filter out seeing the truths and wear auditory earpieces that only tune-in to hear things that match what they want to believe rather than deal with unpleasant truth. Believing and obeying the lies, expecting to reach the same result as believing and obeying truth is patently false.
We should also be aware of those who prevaricate their dealings with us – those who deliberately mislead in sneaky ways as they are intentionally dishonest.
At the end of day, God has these to say to those who choose to lie as a lifestyle.
“But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” Revelation 21:8
Romans 1:18-32
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;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
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.
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
We make decisions daily, whatever we do is a result of a choice. We need to ask before we choose and embark on an action: “Is there wisdom in that action?”
Attitude, optimism, taking right actions, standing for what is right, doing the right things, etc is a choice. Whatever choice we make, “makes” us. May we choose wisely.
“So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;
Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;
If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;
Then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God.
For the Lord giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.”
Proverbs 2:2-7
Each new morning light brings new mercies from God and with it, hope. We have the choice to make, to be energised to do what matters most for each day.
May we not let the past shape or define the future, and what we are capable of doing today from the great potential that God has given us ; and cut off any weights or negative associations that drag us down.
God gives us the power of the will and choice to decide to DO what MATTERS, each DAY.
The choice rest with us TODAY. May God help us act wisely.
“It is as sport to a fool to do mischief: but a man of understanding hath wisdom.”
Proverbs 10:23
“A scorner seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not: but knowledge is easy unto him that understandeth. Go from the presence of a foolish man, when thou perceivest not in him the lips of knowledge. The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way: but the folly of fools is deceit. Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous there is favour.”
Proverbs 14:6-9
Choices have great power; for with it and for from it, our destiny is directed and decided. This is the power that God has entrusted to man; to take responsibilities for the choices that we make.
God gave mankind the power of choice and none should force others to accept the freedom of choice in relation to the choice of belief in God or otherwise, because this is the inalienable rights that God gave humankind.
However with the choice that we take, it will lead to lead to two entirely different eternal destinations; according to the Word of God. AND this choice is ours to make in the final analysis.
A free mind is a mind that is open to everything and consider everything and accepts facts and truths when it is presented with it. For instance, for a “2 + 2” maths question, there’s only one correct answer, that is 4 and not 22, or other numbers. This can be proven when we add two apples and two apples together, the answer is 4 apples and we can count them as evidence. When we insist that ‘2 + 2’ is 22 (or other answers) then we are no longer open to the truth, regardless of the evidence; for that we are not free, because we do not want to know the truth.
Jesus said in John 8:32 “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
