Chapter 68: This is Your Body
Last Saturday, we were having an ice breaker in the youth ministry; it is to use the fun clay and make some shapes.
When we were doing the shapes, I noticed that my youth were having a lot of fun. I could see their happy expression and their excited voice,
“Ha ha ha… This is our dog?!”
“For an elephant, you make the hands, you make the legs, you make the body, and I will make the head.”
“Hey! The eyes of the fish are dropping out! How can the fin be like that? Wow! Mouth so big?”
There were much laughter in the game, and I could feel the joy in them. I felt very happy when they were having a good fellowship. They kept on redoing the body parts when they found that it was inappropriate. As they started to make faces, I started to think the creation of God – human.
Genesis 1:27, 2:7
“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them… The LORD God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.”
We used fun clay to make shapes; God used dust to form the first human. Isn’t it quite similar? When we were making the shapes, we were full of excitement and enthusiasm. I wonder when God first made man, how did He feel? I believe God must be very happy and excited about his first human creation.
When we made the shapes, it looked awkward. However, take a look at ourselves.
What a wonderful design of God!!
With everything which is so systematic and functional, inside and outside of the body, no one can ever make this wonderful creation except God.
All of us were given a body. God wants us to cherish our own body. Take good care of it. Your body is unique because it belongs to you alone. Do not do stupid things to hurt your body (e.g. cutting yourself, eating drug…etc). Do not use your body to sin (e.g. fighting, murdering…etc). If you love God, you will love his creation. Nevertheless, you will love your own body as well.
Readers, appreciate God’s gift in your life -
This is Your Body.
Be healthy and strong at all times. Remember Jesus Christ loves us; He has redeemed us.
We ought to love ourselves including our body.
Honor God with our body.
1 Corinthians 6:20
“you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.”

Chapter 37: Right Decision
Continued from Chapter 36: First Priority
After a long prayer, I decided to stay in church ministry. I had decided to let go of the Choir Presentation.
I believe Bishop will help me to explain this matter to STS. To stand firm in my position, Anglican is where I supposed to be right now.
However, one thing to know… The people will think that Anglican is arrogant. In this world, even Christians have divisions. In my own view, Christians intend to start comparing between one another about who is the first. However, I really do not understand one thing.
Mark 9:35
“Jesus called the Twelve and said, "If anyone wants to be first, he must be the very last, and the servant of all."”
I always tell my disciples about Mark 9:35.
Do the churches know about this bible verse?
Why are the churches competing to be the first?
Do they not know those, who are the last, supposed to be the most humble among all people?
God will lift up the humble to be the first.
I supposed every church should know this very clearly. Why is there competition?
Even there are conflicts between the churches…
Now I, as a middleman, am cracking my head in making decision whether to choose credit hour or church ministry. I think I have made the right decision. Will outsiders think that Anglicans are not united with others? Well, why do I need to bother whether we are united?
God, You shall be my focus!
You shall be the one whom I follow.
Not anyone else…
Jesus, so I look to You.

Chapter 28: Hebrew Language
I have been attending a Hebrew Language class. I thought Jack’s Stuff only learns Cwalk, now he even learns Hebrew Language! Crazy man! If you can read the Hebrew words in the picture below, you are crazily fantastic!
My Hebrew Oral Exam... (Gosh!)
As we were listening to History of Hebrew, Hebrew is one of the earliest languages during Noah’s time. Hebrew Language is written from right to left. If we read the text from left to right, we will never understand the meaning. Most of the people might think Christianity is from the Caucasians. Before I am a Christian, I always thought the original language of the Bible is English. Christianity is originally from Jewish.
During the time of Noah, there was only one language. Yet now we have thousands of different languages in this world. How can it be?
Genesis 11: 1, 4, 8 - 9
“Now the whole world had one language and a common speech…
Then they said, ‘Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may have a name for ourselves and not be scattered over the face of the earth.’…
So the Lord scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city. That is why it was called Babel (confused) – because there the Lord confused the languages of the whole world. From there the Lord scattered them over the face of the whole earth.”
Chinese language is also one of the earliest languages after the tower of Babel. Look at this word.
Genesis 7:13 tells us: "On that very day Noah and his sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth, together with his wife and the wives of his three sons, entered the ark."
How could the Chinese know about Noah having eight members in his family during the time of flood if they were not one of those people who were separated from Tower of Babel? Look again.
This is only one example. There are thousands more examples!
The books in Old Testament were written in Hebrew Language. Some of the books in New Testament were written in Greek; some were in Hebrew. Very interesting! The people of God in early days used Hebrew language to communicate with one another. I cannot believe that I am learning a language which our Lord, Jesus Christ used to speak when He was on this earth.

Chapter 23: Unexpected
Written on 8 February 2009
5 February was really my busy day. From Monday to Thursday, I had not stopped doing research about my studies. I am doing nine subjects for this semester: New Testament, World Religion, Hebrews Language, History of Christianity, Homiletics, Asian Church Music, Research Methodology, Music Theory, and Field Education (Research on Weekly performance in church). Altogether, I have more than 5000 pages to read in order to fulfill the task of the reading program. It is a compulsory program, considered as one of the assignments. Once I accomplish my reading program, the chances of passing the subjects will be higher.
On 5 February, I woke up at 6am to revise “Romans”; 7:40am New Testament class; 8:35am Research Methodology; 9:30am Assembly for STS students; 11am Research on world religion; 12:30pm lunch time. Wow! I was so glad to return back home during lunch time. Immediately, without hesitation, SHOWER first! After the shower, I went into my room, drying my hair, sitting down on bed, preparing to study World Religion, taking up my phone. Then I saw a SMS…
“…our grandma just passed away today…”
A long period of silence… Staring at the SMS, and read it a few times… Heart pumping fast… “No! It’s too sudden! It’s too…”
Unexpected…?
7 February 2009 was my grandma’s funeral service. That’s the first time I experience that one of my relatives passed away. My mother was mourning bitterly, profusely… I was standing besides her, giving her the most caring support; comforting, hugging my mother. This is also the first time that I saw my mother mourning so bitterly. When I looked at my grandma in the coffin, tears just filled up my whole eyes, though it didn’t drop. My mother kept on talking to her mother, lying dead in coffin. I really had nothing to say. My youngest sister was patting on my left shoulder when she saw the tears in my eyes.
Ephesians 6:1 – 2
“Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this right. ‘Honor your father and mother’ – which is the first commandment with a promise.”
My mother and her sisters were regretting that they didn’t spend much time with their mother, though they love her dearly. From that time onwards, I truly understand what it means “spending quality time with parents”.
Readers, we only have one mother who gives birth to us. We only have one father whom we share the same family blood type. Please cherish our parents whenever we have time to accompany them. Don’t focus on our life too personally. Our parents need us too. From now, I will always give most of my time to my parents especially my mother whenever I have a chance to meet them. As you know my life, studying and serving at same time, my time with my parents is scarce. Whenever there’s a chance to meet them, that quality time with my parents is absolutely precious to me.
Heavenly Father, thanks for being with us all the time, even though sometimes we only look for our own interests. God, forgive us for sometimes we ignored Your presence.
Praise the Lord for your parents are still nagging and scolding you now.
Cherish these precious moments.
Cherish our father and mother.

Chapter 19: God’s will
Written on 17 November 2008
“I believe this is God’s will.”
I always hear this sentence from people. Readers, DO NOT say this as if it’s a normal thing. Do you know that you are saying a serious thing? If it is not God’s will, you will be accountable to God. You need to be responsible for what you have said and done, i.e. God’s judgment.
As I had mentioned about Falsehood, many people do many wonders in the name of Jesus. However, not all of them go to Heaven, unless they follow Jesus properly and do God’s will. I believe those people also say this, “I believe this is God’s will.” before they start their “wonder” ministry – healing sick, casting out demons, gifted in music, and many other incredible things…etc
I know people will say, “We pray really hard for this. And I receive confirmation from God. This is God’s will.” Well, be careful on what you have said. It is because I cannot judge for what you have said, I cannot say you lie unless the lie is too obvious. Christians, please be careful.
(I urge you)
I would like to take Jack’s Stuff for an example. I never mention to anyone, saying, “Jack’s Stuff is God’s will. It is because now many people know me even outsiders.” NEVER!
I DO NOT dare to say this. I only say, “If God’s willing, Jack’s Stuff will be famous.” Sometimes, I said to some people, “God allows Jack’s Stuff to happen.”
“God allows…” and “God’s will” are two different matters.
Mark my words. “God allows…” is that when some situations happen exactly to what you had prayed. When people saw miracles happening, they will surely say, “This is God’s will!” In fact, it is NOT. Whether the miracles will happen, God can choose to allow either to let it happen or not. However, it is not God’s will.
_____________
Jonah 1:1; 3:2, 4, 10
"Go to the great city of Nineveh and preach against it, because its wickedness has come up before me."
"Go to the great city of Nineveh and proclaim to it the message I give you."
He proclaimed: "Forty more days and Nineveh will be overturned."
“When God saw what they did and how they turned from their evil ways, he had compassion and did not bring upon them the destruction he had threatened.”
_____________
In Book of Jonah, you can see that God has a choice to destroy the city of Nineveh. God chose totake away the destruction because the people repented.
The word “will” means a fixed and persistent intent or purpose. God’s will is always the same now and forever. We must understand this. Wanna know God’s will? You need to cultivate a habit of reading bible yourself to find out. An example of God’s will is listed below.
_____________________
John 3:16
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
_____________________
“God’s will” is fixed. God’s will never change. It always remains the same. Before the world was created, God has already set His will from the beginning, now and forever. If you say, “I believe this is God’s will”, yet this is not, you had committed a serious sin.
__________________
Exodus 20: 7
"You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God, for the LORD will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name."
__________________
Do not simply use the name of the Lord by saying, “This is God’s will.” Instead of God’s will be done, it is our will be done. Be careful. Some cheaters are even worse, “I come in the name of Jesus to tell you this…” And I warn those who love to say, “The Lord says…”, “I sense the Lord is telling me…”… etc. God knows everything. Do not deceive yourself and God.
________________________
Ephesians 5: 17
“Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is.”
________________________
So, please... I urge you. Do not simply say,
“I believe this is God’s will.” Instead, you should say, “If God’s willing…” or “God allows this to happen.”
Get the point?

Chapter 18: Falsehood
Written on 7 November 2008
“Hi, Jack!” Eugene said in Msn.
Yesterday, I received a message from my Singapore friend in MSN. It’s been a long time that we have not contacted with each other. At first we talked about business and IT matters, then suddenly he asked me a question,
“Which church are you in?” He asked.
“Anglican.” I replied.
“Is your church charismatic?” He asked again. Thinking for a while, erm… Our Sabah Anglican is more on balanced. So I answered, “Yes, kinda...”
Then he laughed "LOL". Before he went offline, he sent me a Bible verse:
Matthew 24: 24
“For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect — if that were possible.”
___________________________________
Obviously, he is saying that I am one of the falsehoods. If you ask me whether I am offended, the answer is definitely “Yes”. However, I didn’t hate him. I began to think why he will show me this verse. There must be some reasons why he is against it. Frankly speaking, I should thank God for Eugene. I believe God used Eugene to remind me whether I am on the right path with Him. Think carefully, readers. Ask yourself this, “Am I doing the will of God in my daily life?”
I prayed hard to God, kept asking,
“God, am I still walking in the right way which you had showed me? I just want You, Jesus Christ, to tell me only. No other gods but You… Please tell me my mistakes, which I do not pay attention to. Please refresh my heart and search me whether I am still in tuned with You.”
To me, I do not really care how talented I am. Between Talents or Righteous, I rather choose Righteous. What God wants is not seeing us being gifted – performing miracles, healing, and casting out demons and interpreting the speaking in tongues… etc. We must be aware of what God wants. God wants a person who truly follows and understands what He thinks – to do His will.
Matthew 7: 21 - 23
"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'”
Scary, isn't it?
Nowadays, many called onto God, “Lord! Lord!” Many use His name to do many wonders, but they MAY NOT be the ones who do the will of God. These people MAY BE false Christs, false prophets in Matthew 24:24. These people MAY NOT enter the kingdom of Heaven. These people MAY NOT even know they themselves are one of the falsehood. DO NOT think, "Once I received Christ, I will surely go to Heaven."
I am so scared that I am actually one of the people who are mentioned in these verses. In fact, I should thank Eugene for reminding me of Matthew 7:21 – 23. Why will God say, “Away from me, you evildoers!”? In my opinion, I think it is all about the relationship between you and God.
So what is God’s will? How close are we to God? Do we really follow what God has told us to do? Do we follow what He wants? Often we pray, “Your will be done!”, yet mostly it is our will be done. Agree?
I have read many blogs from some Christians. They only talk about their life, they never share about God who has done great things in their life. When we talk to them about God, they will rather talk about Soccer player or some famous celebrities or others. I ask you, “Are you sure that God is in your first place?”
In future, I will try to find out: What is God’s will? What kind of relationship between you and God? What is your meaning of LOVE… etc. If you have any question or doubt, you may ask me too. I will be more than willing to find out and we learn together. Please do not hesitate to ask me too.
Though I am Anglican, I will be loyal to Anglican. However, to me, whether I am Anglican, whether I am Charismatic, this is NOT the primary matter. The relationship between God and me is the primary reason why I am still in this world. I would rather stop all arguments whether who is right or wrong. This is pointless. To me, the most important thing is searching for the Great Glory of God – a life after God’s own heart.
Thank you, Eugene, for reminding me to be ALERT. However, Eugene… Those who call “Lord, Lord”, yet NOT is doing the will of God…
YOU MAY BE ONE OF THE FALSEHOOD TOO.

Chapter 17: Exorcism
Written on 5 November 2008
During one of our cellgroup fellowship, we discussed about casting out demons. Hirai asked each of us whether we have experienced about exorcism. Then Winston pointed at me, and says, “Jack, I thought you had experienced this before?”
Readers, can you believe Jack’s Stuff experienced this too? Heard of the movie – Exorcism of Emily Rose?
Do you think it is true that exorcism exists?
Here is my story.

On 14 June 2006, 10am in the morning, Mary invited us to do the home blessing for her house. There were me, a pastor and a lady. Mary was a new Christian who just came to know Jesus at that very time. She is a married woman with two daughters.
When we are inviting Jesus to take care of that house, Mary suddenly felt unconscious and falls to the ground. We are shocked to see that! We saw her struggling on the ground, twisting her body up and down, moving like a worm and her face is full of sweat. The most obvious thing is that her eyes were fully in white and she was breathing in difficulty. At that time, we truly know that she was possessed by an evil spirit. She was tortured bitterly. If you had seen the movie: Exorcism of Emily Rose, you will understand what I am talking about.
In the holy name of Jesus Christ, We prayed for her and even ordered the evil spirit to get out of her. The movies always mislead the people. The handmade Cross, and the handmade Bible books are not the tool to drive the evil spirits away from the people. There is NO such thing as Holy Water. You do not need garlic or any nonsense to drive them away. ONLY by the holy name of JESUS CHRIST, all evil spirits will be driven away. Amen!
After praying, she started to feel better. She explained why she was possessed. She used to worship the demon before she came to know Jesus Christ. The demon did not want to let go of her. She still kept a mysterious “thing” which belonged to the demon under her bed because she doubted that Jesus Christ is the only one and true God. Immediately, Mary confessed her sin and went into the room to take the “thing”. When she was about to destroy the “thing”, she was possessed AGAIN!
Suddenly, Mary’s voice changed into a MONSTER’s voice. She was NOT herself anymore. She stood up and reacted differently. She jumped up and down, and shouted loudly. Her eyeballs turned into RED. As we prayed louder, the demon started to laugh even louder!! We grabbed hold of Mary tightly, but the demon’s power is overwhelming.
The most interesting thing is that the pastor’s voice CHANGED TOO!! Her voice sounded like a Godly man’s voice with strong authority! She kept repeating the sentence, “IN THE NAME OF JESUS, I commanded you to get out RIGHT NOW!” Immediately, the demon fled in fear and Mary was no longer possessed. She was saved by Jesus Christ
At last, I would like to say that demons, devils or evil spirits may be very scary to human beings. However, Jesus Christ is the only God whom demons, devils, and evil spirits are afraid of.
Philippians 2:10
“that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,”
Romans 14:11
“It is written: " 'As surely as I live,' says the Lord, 'every knee will bow before me; every tongue will confess to God.' "

This testimony is true. It was witnessed by Jack’s Stuff. One thing I wanna emphasize – Why human tend to scare of demons more than Jesus? We human should fear Jesus more. Remember Jesus holds authority of your life and death. If you think God is funny, read this:
Luke 12:4 – 5
“I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more. But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear Him who, after the killing of the body, has power to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear Him.”
Demons, devils and evil spirits are included in “those who kill the body and after that can do no more”.
Now you should know who you should fear.
During one of our cellgroup fellowship, we discussed about casting out demons. Hirai asked each of us whether we have experienced about exorcism. Then Winston pointed at me, and says, “Jack, I thought you had experienced this before?”
Readers, can you believe Jack’s Stuff experienced this too? Heard of the movie – Exorcism of Emily Rose?
Do you think it is true that exorcism exists?
Here is my story.

Chapter 11: Wisdom
Written on May 2008
I had been living for more than 20 years,
and I heard many comments about wisdom from many people.
Some say about knowledge, some say about the wise thoughts of human, Some even say about the good deeds of human, some even say about creativity.
In my opinion, wisdom comes from Father, Son and Holy Spirit. wisdom is a special gift. wisdom starts from heart and mind. In order to find out whether these people have wisdom, there is only a way. It’s just a simple step to find out. Easy! Through their speech.
People say that certain people have wisdom –
the actions of their doing, the knowledge of their exposure… etc.
However, as for me...
People who have great talents and skills do not mean that they have wisdom.
People, who can do things effectively and efficiently, do not mean that they have wisdom.
People, who can clarify and justify good and bad, right and wrong, do not mean they have wisdom.
People, who know how to speak good things at the right time, and rebuke at the right time, scold at the right time, and know how to edify and encourage people at the right time, I tell you this; they are the one who have wisdom.
Rebuke is not necessary to be scolding, using stern voice to talk, making pressurized situations. Rebuke can be done through a very nicely way, explain and state out the wrongdoings, Yet speak with ,authority and power, and speak out the reasonable statements.
Many people in this world do not know how to speak properly. These kinds of people are the most irritating and hated by people. These kinds of people are more than the people who commit serious crimes in this world, if added up in total in worldwide rate.
If the world indicates that “Nonsense, Gossip, Criticism” is a crime, I will be much ensured to say this will be the highest rate among all crimes.
To the world, this is not a crime. To God, this is a sin. Christians must understand this. Christians are not lived to criticize and gossip people. Criticism and gossip brings dissension and hatred. If Christians do not know how to speak, yet speak what is evil, it means they don’t love their neighbors.
“wisdom is found on the lips of the discerning…” Proverbs 10:13
“… but the mouth of a fool invites ruin.” Proverbs 10:14
“A fool’s lips bring him strife, and his mouth invites a beating.” Proverbs 18:6
As it is written above, we should know that most of the crimes in this world are involved in speech. How can robbery begin without saying the plan? How can violence not involved in quarreling? How can war start without someone saying something stupid? How can a murderer do it without someone influences him? Think about it.
That is why bible quotes this:
“We all stumble in many ways. If anyone is never at fault in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to keep his whole body in check.” James 3:2
If a person knows how to talk properly, he is a perfect man. He is blameless in the eyes of people. If he can control his words, he can manage his personal life well. Do you agree? I tell you a joke. Those readers, who don’t agree this, will start to say nonsense again RIGHT NOW.People are mostly fools. Blameless people did nothing wrong, and some people will start stupid conversation and gossip to accuse the blameless people.
I appreciate those people who see my life and remain silent. It is good not to say anything stupid if you have nothing to say. If you have something to encourage, speak it out. It will brings life to people.
“When words are many, sin is not absent, but he who holds his tongue is wise.” Proverbs 10:19
“Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness.” James 3:18
Those people in my life including those in Youtube and friendster, who encourage and support me always, I wanna say, “May the peace of the Lord be with you.” It is because they make peace with me as a stranger. They are peacemakers. They do not know me, but they had started the right words, “Can we be friends?”
People, who are close to me, say that I am a man who knows how to speak. People, who are close to me, say that I am a counselor, an encourager, a good friend. People, who are close to me, will understand how I talk and edify people. However, I do not dare to say that I am a perfect man. No one is perfect. At least, I had begun to improve my journey of wisdom, a life of wisdom.
“Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.” James 3:13
I challenge you. Find people with wisdom. Find out those people who really speak wisely almost at all time. I dare to tell you this – those people are hard to find.
