God loves the elderly ones

Therefore I tell you that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, "Jesus be cursed," and no one can say, "Jesus is Lord," except by the Holy Spirit. 1 Corinthians 12:3

Praise the Lord!  Today we visited an old lady whose heart has been very hardened and not willing to accept Jesus as her Savior.  It has been many years.  But lately for the past few months, we started to see changes in her.  In the past she could always scold her maid and would complain non-stop.  However, as the brothers and sisters visited her, the grace of God also comes upon her.  She welcomed each visit. During the visit, the brothers and sisters will sing simple hokkien song "真正好" and read a simple bible verse with her.    Today, it surprised every one that she said "thank the lord" in hokkien.  No one is able to say Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit.  Today, the verse we read with her is "Roman 10:9 你 若 口 里 认 耶 稣 为 主 , 心 里 信 神 叫 他 从 死 里 复 活 , 就 必 得 救 "。God is truly at work in her.   God is love and He did not give up the elderly ones but He wants us to pray for them to see His work in their lives.

Dear Lord, I pray for the elderly ones.  Before their life expire on earth, pray that you will grant them to have a chance to hear your gospel.  In the name of Jesus, we bind the works of the enemy who is at work in their hearts.  Let the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ shine in their hearts so that they will also have a chance to know you.  Prepare their hearts and open their understanding, that they too will know you and be used by you.  In Jesus' name I pray.

New lawyer Darren Tan once spent 10 years in jail PUBLISHED IN ST ON AUG 25, 2014 11:47 AM

I love to hear testimonies of God's transforming works in a person's life.  It encourages me & I hope when I post it here, it encourages you too!    Mr Darren Tan with his proud parents - Mr Tan Chon Kiat and Madam Ong Ai Hock. The new lawyer changed the course of his life while he was behind bars.  BY CHANG AI-LIEN SENIOR CORRESPONDENT Darren Tan, 35, is finally a full-fledged lawyer. He reached that milestone yesterday when he was called to the Bar during a mass ceremony at Nanyang Technological University. It was a far cry from his shaky start in life when drugs and gang activities led to over 10 years behind bars and 19 strokes of the cane. "This is the culmination of what I've been working towards for the last 10 years," he told The Sunday Times. "It's like waking up from a dream and finding out your dream has become reality." His life of crime began at the age of 14, and he was in and out of prison for offences that ...

Ego, a female feline - adoption & what to expect after that

My daughter adopted a kitten (2.5 months) from SPCA. We pay $65 to adopt her and this covers the cost of sterilisation, vaccination and microchipping. Initially she had spotted one that was cute but while we reached there, the kitten was already adopted by someone else. She decided to adopt the kitten which I found uncomely, didn't look cute at all. Furthermore she was a very active kitten and displayed alot of temperament, she meowed at you and tried to force open the cage. We were told that our whole family must be there to receive counselling before adoption can be made. I think the reason is to be realised by me later. It is a lifetime commitment with considerable responsibilities. A cat can live up to 20 years of age. Having a kitten is not easy. First of all, it is the droppings that we have to clear. She is a smart kitten, she knew how to use a cat litter tray. Each time she excretes, she will bury her droppings under the litter. No matter how she buried, the s...

A eagle story

Got this story from an email and find it very meaningful. Please read on ... There is a story about a little eagle that fell out of its nest and landed in a turkey farm. The eagle grew up among the turkeys and, although he looked a bit different, he learned to waddle like a turkey, bob his head like a turkey, and act like a turkey. One day the young eagle looked up into the sky and saw a beautiful eagle soaring above. The little eagle in the turkey yard thought, Oh, I would love to be able to do that! As the eagle soared overhead, it looked down and saw the young eagle below. Suddenly it swooped down to the ground and asked, "What are you doing here?" The little eagle replied, "I am just here in the turkey yard where I have always been." The great eagle looked and said, "Spread your wings, boy. You do just what I do. Follow me." Then he flapped his wings and lifted off the ground. The young eagle tried it, too. "Wheeee! This is all right!" "...
