Faith comes by hearing and hearing alone

To what extent that faith comes by? Previously, I used to think that as long as we speak forth the Word of God, faith will come automatically. It was pretty interesting when my church pastor pointed out the scriptural verses to show us that faith actually comes by hearing and hearing alone - Romans 10:17

Many times, we tend to misplace faith to our own self-effort that we must do something to have faith. However it's not. It's only by the hearing the Word of God that faith will be stirred up within our hearts. When faith was being stirred up, we tend to speak forth thanksgiving to our Lord Jesus. Sometimes even when faith wasn't stirred up in our hearts, just listening to the sermons also brings forth blessings.

I never understood how listening to the Word of God can actually help me solve the problems until today. I had been fretting over some work and subconsciously, I ended up listening to sermons again. Praise be to Jesus that help came very fast. Initially I was having a lot of problems understanding a new programming language. And thank God that He sent my colleague to help me. My colleague ended up writing the entire program. :P and I've managed to learn some interesting stuffs.

I didn't realise it until much later when I reached home. Well.. the only thing I knew was that my inner being was being fed with the Word and I had no idea how the problems can actually be resolved.. Whatever it is, I still thank Daddy God for sending help.. :D

okie.. time to buzz off for another few days or rather weeks, I guess..

To my most beloved daddy..

Days have come and gone,
Our hearts are still as one,
A moment of this time that,
I see you not with my eyes.

The eyes of my heart see you,
Happy and Perfect,
Joyful and Peaceful,
All days in Heaven with Jesus.

You may have departed,
It's only for a time being.
Nothing can tear us apart,
Not even death.

No matter what you have done,
I still love you very deeply.
You are my most beloved daddy,
and I thank God for you.

I long to see you,
To listen to your soothing voice,
To be with you,
All the days of my life.

Tears may flow,
Heart may sorrow,
But my spirit is lifted,
Coz you still alive.

You are in every beat of my heart,
You are in every step that I take.
You are in every thoughts that I make,
You are in every words that I speak.

And most importantly,
You are still alive, and
You are in Heaven now.
Till the time comes,
We will definitely meet again.
For this is the promise of
our Heavenly Father and Lord Jesus.

Amen..

5 loaves and 2 fishes

Many days have passed and it's been three weeks, almost four weeks that my entire family's life and mine were changed. I thank Daddy God for His Comfort that He had given to me in my life and my family and also for every little things. I remember telling my friends before I came into New Creation Church was that, if we learn how to give thanks to Daddy God for small little things in our lives, how much more He will give us bigger things to us. And I suddenly recalled telling this to many of my friends before after listening to Pastor Prince's sermons today.

Daddy God, I thank you for my dad and my mom whom you have put them together all these years in my life, despite the evil efforts of destructions from the fallen one. I thank You even more that my dad's soul is now in your bosom and he's happy in Heaven which is called HOME to us all. Your Love for me is always there, even when I don't even deserve any. Your Grace surpasses all things and truly, You are my everything, Lord Jesus. And all these I give thanks to the Father, and Lord Jesus! Amen!

Wah!! mom's snoring liao. hahaha.. well, I thank Daddy God for a peaceful rest for her and my entire family.

Oh yah.. before I forget.. now back to the 5 loaves and 2 fishes.. When Pastor Prince was sharing about this verse and he's talking about thanksgiving. Interestingly the Holy Spirit showed me the hidden Grace Covenant! Hahaha.. 5 speaks of grace and 2 speaks of covenant. So fun!! There's a hidden grace covenant in this and Jesus was giving thanks to the Father, not only for the loaves and the fish.. Also for the Grace of the Father on everyone of us. His passion for us is so great that nothing can compare to it.

Gee.. dun know whether I'm on the right track or not. But anyway, this was in my thoughts during the sermons. hee..

okie.. time to sleep.. May all of u have a blessed week ahead!! A week full of joy and peace.. SHALOM!!
