Do Not Love This World




1 John 2 :15 -17

" Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love this world, you do not have the love of the Father in you. For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father but are from this world. And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever. "

Don't love the things that the world offers you. Let God be the foundation of your life.

Don't let money, your reputation from other people be the foundation of your life. For reputation could fall in a sudden, but our God never fail. Build our life foundation on solid rock, on the wisdom from bible and a personal relationship with God.

God knows what we really are, so don't try to get people's recognition but please God in every aspects of our life.

Living in light and truth




1 John 2 : 4 - 6

" If someone claims, ' I know God ', but doesn't obey God's commandments, that person is a liar and is not living in the truth. but those who obey God's word truly show how completely they love him. That is how we know we are living in Him. Those who say they live in God should live their lives as Jesus did. "

Live our lives as Jesus did! If you love God, you would choose living in light but not in the darkness.

Love God by obeying His commandments and His words

Unfailing God

1 Peter 4 : 19

" So if you are suffering in a manner that pleases God, keep on doing what is right, and trust you lives to the God who created you, for he will never fail you. "

Put our faith into our behaviors during endurance time, keep trusting in our God.

For every earthly thing fails, but only our Lord Jesus Christ and His words never fail.

God's Grace

2 Corinthians 12 : 8 - 10

" Three different times I begged the Lord to take it (pride) away, each time he said, 'My grace is all you need, My power works best in weakness.' So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. That's why I take pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the insults, hardships, perseacutions, and troubles that I suffer for Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong. "

God's amazing grace is the resource that we should hold on to and focus on when it comes to trials and endurance, nothing else in this world would be more significant than the God's grace that lives within us.

Remember God's grace is given from God to us and yet we did not deserve it in the first place, but because of Jesus Christ our savior died for us and we received and set free from sins.

God's Correction

Proverbs 3 : 11 - 12

" My child, don't reject the Lord's discipline, and don't be upset when He corrects you. For the Lord corrects those He loves just as a father corrects a child in whom he delights. "

It is so fundamental and essential to follow the rules that the Lord has set for us. For the rules keep us from doing wrong and making mistakes.

God corrects us only because He always love us.

Its been 22 days !!!

woah its been 22 days already since I came back from oz, have heaps wanna share with you guys!

First up, I have a confession to make, I did not like Hong Kong much to be perfectly honest, yet God placed the desire in me of settling here in Jesus Lifehouse Hong Kong, so the question of "how am I going to do it?" has been bothering me for quite a while.

But soon after I came back home, God did something amazing within me, He changed my stubborn heart, and now I love this city, a city which God is doing an amzing work in.

"And now the Lord says: I am returning to Mount Zion, and I will live in Jerusalem. The Jerusalem will be called the Faithful city. " Zechariah 8:3
The Lord spoke to me through this scripture, and made a significant difference in my heart, especially the perspectives toward Hong Kong, the people, the city, the vision. I love Hong Kong.

so for the last few weeks, I've been catching with up with friends and relatives, and made uncountable new friends, everyone I've met is awesome!
