Each day’s morning light is a fresh day of God’s mercy and hope; may we be energised to do what matters today. ~ Cheong Kok Weng

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 ‭

Today is a Brand New Day. Let’s start afresh and take the good choices of TODAY. ~Cheong Kok Weng

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.”

‘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

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 ‭

“..Behold, I make all things new…” Rev 21:5b

2017

Let this be a new beginning in 2017.
May we make a commitment to plan and act on priority and  grow daily. A New Year that gives us the strength and courage to change for the better.  A Desire changes nothing.  A Decision and Determination changes Everything… positively with God’s help.

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.”   Revelation 21:5-6

 

We must take Action if we want to sail and cross the Sea… ~ Cheong Kok Weng

God gave us choices and there’s power embedded with the right actions taken.img_9364

Right actions are powerful and this comes with the choice we take. Actions do define us. The reality is that, by taking the right actions, even small ones, will have a compounding effect to carry us forward.

We need to remind our selves that incrementally or significantly be better in our daily actions, will get us further than a standstill.

We have to take action and it is good to make a start now. Be pleased with the level we are at right now and do trust that as we take the right actions, we will gravitate consistently to, develop and grow into the greatness that God wants us to be and reach for the great

potential that God has built into us – humans and to glorify our

Creator who is forever praised.

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.

“Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.” Isaiah 43:18

“Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,”  Philippians 3:13

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
