‘NOW’ is a freshly minted moment; choose and act on what is good & needed NOW. ~Cheong Kok Weng

NOW

Every moment is a precious moment; as once it passed-by, it will not come through our paths again.

May we forget about yesterday’s wasted time and give attention and act on good choices NOW and work on the good that we can aaccomplish today.

We need the wisdom from above to utilise well and be aware of this most precious gift of  time that God gives us.

 

” To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: ” Ecclesiastes 3:1

 “The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; but of every one that is hasty only to want.”  Proverbs 21:5

“He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.”  Proverbs 10:4

” Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass”.  Psalm 37:5

 “(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)”  2 Corinthians 6:2

“Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.”  James 4:14

“So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.”  Psalm 90:12

 

Our choice at every moment is what matters, we can make new decisions, at each moment, of the TODAY that God gives us – Cheong Kok Weng

TODAY  ….is a GOOD DAY to START – Take ACTION AND START TODAY.

What we do today,  will impact the tomorrows.  Our determination today will lead to the success of tomorrow,  by the grace of God.

We are not our past, because God gives us each fresh day to decide to do things differently – what really matters is what we decide to do TODAY ,  what you used  to be, is already in the past.

With each new opportunity of the day,  we can choose,  act decisively and differently  in  a way that helps us to be capable of being all that we created to be; reaching towards our highest potential –  for we are made in the image of God.

The beauty of Creation bears witness to God.

Psalm 19:1-3 “The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.

Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.

There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.” 

2 Corinthians 6:2 “(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)”

 

As the sun sets, so too, let the past sets. Don’t be manacled to the past, let it be a lesson to move forward, come the new dawn..~ Cheong Kok Weng

Let’s not be manacled to the past, let it sets as the sun sets,

IMG_1731

As the new dawn begins,  let’s move forward, comes the fresh day.

Close the door to the past, open the door and greet the new day as everyday is a new beginning – it is a brand new day and we can

begin again with a new mindset , new thoughts, changed attitudes, new hope, new strengths, with and by the grace of God.

It is precious privilege to be alive and well and we thank God for the gift of choice of starting again, to write and fill the page of a brand new day as each day, is a new beginning …as long as we are still in the flesh, on planet earth.

 

” It is of the Lord‘s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. ” Lamentation 3:22-23

Freedom of thoughts, is the freedom to change in the face of truth. ~ Cheong Kok Weng

.IMG_1727

Actually, a man may never be held back from thinking whatsoever he wants so long as he does not divulge to others what he is thinking. The functioning  of his mind is restrained only by the constraints of


his knowledge, understanding, experience and the faculty & resourcefulness of his thoughts and the power of his imagination.

However, in real life, the typical brain is and has a tendency to be innately “effortlessly” indolent; laid back and tends to take the path of least resistance.

The mental world of the ordinary man consists of values, philosophies and way of life which he has accepted without reexamination or double checking and to which he is devoted, emotionally involved and committed. He has a tendency to be unconsciously or consciously antagonistic to anything which would shakeup the customary order of his accustomed  world.

Coupled with being abetted  by societies that have been largely opposed to freedom of thoughts, fresh ideas or new mindsets, it is easy to see why it is hard for him to have the real freedom of thoughts.

A truth that is or which cast doubt on his “established beliefs” and is not in consonance with some of the erroneous beliefs which he holds, seem evil because they are disagreeable –  he cannot change though he is faced with the truths of the matter.

We must change in the face of truths presented to us – that is the real freedom of thoughts that God has endowed us with.

We MUST exercise the TRUE Freedom of thoughts in order to be TRULY FREE.

 

 

We need to recalibrate & change course today when we are heading in the wrong direction. ~ Cheong Kok Weng

Change can sometimes be difficult while at other times it can be comforting.

IMG_1713

Would we not want to know that we are heading in the wrong direction rather than not knowing and finding out only at the end of our journey?

There are warning signs and notices we all need to take care and be aware of, that indicate we are heading for a dead-end.

After noticing the signs, we must follow-up by actions in order to correct and readjust our path, and consider it a detour, in reaching the destination.

 

“Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.” Isaiah 55:6-7″

Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die,..” Ezekiel 33:11a

 “Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord God: and not that he should return from his ways, and live?” Ezekiel 18:23

“For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 

 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.” 1 Timothy 2:3-4

 

Embracing truths releases you from the power of lies and liberates you. ~ Cheong Kok Weng

IMG_0491

Embracing truths liberates us and prevents us from being deceived.

Truth  is always consistent and can stand by itself and welcomes all sincere questions and never losses ground through the most rigorous inquiries. Facts stand with truths. With the truth, all given facts harmonise.

Truth is truth, even if it is comes from your enemy, that’s why it may be found anywhere.
There is no middle ground, what is not true is false.
Truth cannot contradict truth.
Truth is at the fulcrum of an upright character.
If we shut out truth, we open the door to lies and errors that take its place.
“The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭12:19‬ ‭

Right choices and actions are the antidote to fears generated whilst not taking actions. ~ Cheong Kok Weng

cbf

We need to remind ourselves that the way to get things done is to BEGIN doing. DO not let the inaction of yesterday take hold of today – it need not be a yesterday of inaction all over again. Let yesterday’s failure be a building block for success today. Knowing the aforesaid and wishing is not enough, we must

DO.

We must remind our selves to do all we can, with what we have, wherever we are. Let our heart soar as high as it will.

May we make our live a masterpiece as God  has intended us to be.

 “Therefore, as ye abound in every thing, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also.” 2 Corinthians 8:7 **abound (excel)

“The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.” Proverbs 13:4

The choice we take each day matters, each moment’s choice is ‘a stroke of a hammer, as a stone is broken by the last strike’ ~ Cheong Kok Weng

Success is the result of sustained efforts – as the last blow of the hammer breaks the stone, it does not mean that the first couple of stokes were useless.

Choices. Every day, we’re faced with a seemingly perpetual array of choices that ultimately determine the course we travel. Life is made up of choices and depending on our choice, we must live with the result of that decision.

Making the correct choices are important aspect in our lives and the consequences of those choices span a wide amplitude and range of prospective impact in our lives.

If you were given only one choice: To choose or not to choose, which would you choose?

Choosing to live one’s life by one’s own choice is the greatest freedom one will ever have.  It is only when we exercise our right to choose that we can also exercise our right to change.

Ultimately the important choices in our daily live involves our lifestyle choices that underline the core belief we have concerning our real faith in God.

Faith is not believing in things for which there is no evidence, Believing in such things is not faith but wishful thinking at best. Christian faith, on the other hand, is believing in things for which there is evidence. The testimony of history in Luke 1: 1-4 for instance; the evidence of God and His handiwork in nature  as in Romans 1: 18-32 and more, give us reason to believe in God’s promises.

Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us,

Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word;

It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus,

That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed.” Luke 1: 1-4

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.
