Treasure your parent :)

"I called her : "mum" after 25 years, just before my mum went to be with the Lord", shared by a brother during the memorial service last night. He has not called "mum" for over 25 years although i believe he is about 50 years old or late 40. While fellowship with him in the afternoon, he shared with me that how much his mother would want to spend time with him but he was busy. I do also know a family where only the younger daughter (adopted) and her husband called her mother " mother" or "mum". The rest of the sibling called her by her name. Why this is so? i do not judge. But it is definitely good to call our GOD: "ABBA FATHER"

This morning i do hope that, beside calling your parent, i do hope that all of us will treasure our parent and do spend time with them. For those who are in the "bad" term with your parent or in-law, i do pray that our Lord will help all of you to reconcile back to each other.

One of the secret to made your spouse happy: You suggest to your spouse to Invite your in-laws out for a lunch or a dinner. I tried and it is good. My wife is happy, so does my in-law :) Be Blessed

Blessed be the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ

With our tongue, we bless God and we curse men. And some even cursed GOD.
Jas 3:9 With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the similitude of God.
Psa 115:18 But we will bless the LORD From this time forth and forevermore. Praise the LORD!
Job 2:9 Then his wife said to him, "Do you still hold fast to your integrity? Curse God and die!"

Dearest saints,
Despite all had happened to Job, this is what Job does :"And he said: "Naked I came from my mother's womb, And naked shall I return there. The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away; Blessed be the name of the LORD." (Job 1:21)
Further more, this is what Job told his wife :"But he said to her, "You speak as one of the foolish women speaks. Shall we indeed accept good from God, and shall we not accept adversity?" In all this Job did not sin with his lips." (Job: 2:10)

Today, even if we are walking in the valley of the shadow of death, pray that we will not sin with our lips but learn to say : "Blessed be the Name of the Lord." Be Blessed.

James 3:10
Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so.

Do not have an "unequal" eye!

In a world, when it comes to money, fame and status, "Connection" and "Networking" seem to be inevitable. But this should not be happened in the church. This is a house of prayer and not a house of business. "If you buy this policy from me, i will offered 10% of my commission to the Lord" told to a brother by a ex-pastor who became a insurance agent.
Dearest saints, pray that we will not fall into the snare of the evil ones. Be it rich or poor, in our Lord's eye, we are His Beloved. Do not use "unequal eye" on one another. Be Blessed!

James 2:2-4
For if a man wearing a gold ring and fine clothing comes into your assembly, and a poor man in shabby clothing also comes in, and if you pay attention to the one who wears the fine clothing and say, "You sit here in a good place," while you say to the poor man, "You stand over there," or, "Sit down at my feet," have you not then made distinctions among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?
