Be a friend of the Holy Spirit!

 Do you seek the gifts of the Holy Spirit or do you seek to be His friend?

The Holy Spirit is a person and not just a power or force that we seek to improve our Christian ministry. Too often, we seek the gifts of the Holy Spirit and do not seek to develop a relationship with the Holy Spirit. Like the Father and the Son, the Holy Spirit is a person and seeks to develop a relationship with us. He wants our love and adorations, too,

We need to see the Holy Spirit as a person and cultivate a relationship with Him, like we did with the Father and the Son. We need to remember to talk to the Holy Spirit and love Him, and not just want the gifts that He can give to us. After all, when you give gifts to your children, do you want them to love your gifts or you? You want them to love you, and not your gifts, don't you? It is the same with the Holy Spirit. He is a person, the third person of the Trinity, and like the Father and the Son, wants us to love and adore and worship Him, too.

Therefore, do not seek ONLY after the gifts of Holy Spirit, like the gift of tongues, healings, prophecies and miraccles. Rather, seek to be His friend, His best friend. Talk to Him daily just like you will the Father and the Son, and you will discover that He is someone who is worthy to be your friend!

My Testimony

I was not born into a Christian family. I was born on 7th March 1983 into a Taoist family. Yet, from a young age, I knew there was a God. I knew because when I read about the space and all its planet, it awed me. It told me that this wonderful creation could not be by chance. (Romans 1:20-21) I believe there is a God, and that He must be a big God in order to create such a wonderful universe, but I did not know where He is from. Not knowing where He came from, I often prayed to what I called, the unknown God. My heart hungered for Him and to know who He is, where He is from, what He wants from me and why He makes me. (Ecclesiastes 3:11) At the age of 11, my aunt invited me to church. The skit was on the birth of Jesus, and somehow, that skit resonated with my heart and gave me a warm feeling although I had no idea who Jesus is. During my secondary school days, I was extremely rebellious. I disobeyed my parents and prayed to Satan, although I still somehow believe in my unknown God. (Ro

God loves you, His black sheep!

 When trials and testings came, sometimes, we may not turn up to be the people we had once hoped we were. Instead of being His faithful servants and obedient sons and daughters, we became like cowards and worldly people, who bowed to the pressures of the world. This is written to encourage all of you, my obedient brothers and sisters in Christ who had tried your best to please Him, but found to your dismay, that you were still very selfish and worldly deep inside you, to remember not to turn away from Him in shame for your repeated defeats, again and again, but to remember He loves you and to hold on tightly to His hands, trusting in His love and forgiveness for you and even more, remembering that for Him, you, His precious child, is more important to Him than all the fames and glories you can ever bring to Him. He died on the cross for you. He is not afraid of being shamed, being mocked, being treated like a dirt because to Him, you, His precious child, is so much more important. Do n

Are you your brother's keeper?

There was this sister in Christ in my church who I will refer to as J. Sister J was a humble person, who served as an usher in my church. When I first became a Christian, Sister J was the only one who bother to befriend me. She was also friendly to all new-comers in church. She would also do the job which no one like to do, for the church, such as clearing up the vomits that would come after a deliverance session.  However, she had one flaw. She was too frank with her words and as a result, not many people in the church like her. She told me that it was God who promoted the people, and therefore God promoted her to be a leader in the usher ministry. One day, sister J stopped coming to the church and the pastor told me to forget about her. I couldn’t forget about her, though. She was my friend and she was such a humble sister. Why did she stop coming to church? I contacted sister J, contrary to the wishes of my pastor. She told me not to contact her anymore as she no longer believed in
