An exerpt from an article.. An excellent reminder for myself :)

When We Stand Before God...?We must ask ourselves the question. "When I stand before a Holy God to give an account of my stewardship of His flock, what will He say to me?"
He will not care about our popularity, how many books we sold, how big our church or houses were, who we did or didn't know. What He will care about and ask us is, what did we do with His House, His people, and how did we influence our nation and the nations of the world – for eternity. Were we good stewards over the things He entrusted to our care?

Did we build HIS Church, or our own kingdoms?
Did we send many souls to hell because we did not speak the truth? D
Did we water down the Word of God and refuse to talk about sin?
Did we spend all our time teaching them how to succeed in this world, instead of keeping their eyes on the things of God and eternity?
Did we teach them to be salt and light, or did we teach them to compromise?
Did we tell them Jesus is soft and fluffy like a puppy, or that He's the Lord of Glory?
Did we give them meat to eat or just cotton candy and sweets?
Did we cause them to become prey to the enemy, or did we equip them to stand?
Did we equip them to do the work of the ministry, or teach them to chase the American dream?Did we refuse to confront them and just wink at their sin?
Did we really build God's church, or is it weak and frail because of us?
Did we speak the truth in Love? It takes real love to speak the truth, especially when it is not popular!
Did we love the people enough to tell them the uncompromising truth?

What will God say to you, as a leader in His house?
It's Time For An Internal InvestigationFor a true Great Awakening to take place in our nation, it must begin with the Leaders in God's house. We believe God will be moving by His Spirit, conducting a deep internal investigation in His house, and removing everything that is standing in His way. It is time for us to judge ourselves and for judgment to begin in the house of God (1 Peter 4:17)! May our hearts and lives be fully devoted to God and His purposes, no matter what the cost.

"Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine." 2 Tim. 4:2.

The Lord is indeed my Provider

Today, I got the perfect pair of pants.. hahaha. in Perth! Can you believe it?!!!!

I went shopping for clothes for work today.. went to Portmans.. tried on a pair of pants.. size 6.. and it fitted! Out of so many years of looking for a pair of business pants that fits.. truly, this is a miracle! HAHA. I always just have to make do with the waist size being a little too big and/or getting the length altered. Of course, with the exception of my tailored pants, which turned out to be still slightly too big. I was wondering whether to even blog this.. like who cares about a pair of pants? But if you know the pains i've been through, even going to a tailor to make a pair pants, just to get one that fits.. you will say this is truly a miracle! It fits! The waist size is fine.. the length is JUST RIGHT. Come on, everyone knows i'm not tall.. and no, this isn't supposed to be 5/6 or 3/4.. hahaha. it's a full-length business pants.. and found in Perth! :)

Okay enough about my pants. But truly, after walking with God over the last 6 years, I've learnt not to be anxious about getting the clothes I need, the kind of food to eat etc.. Though I still have a longgg way to go, God has taught me much in things like these. I really wanted to save time so I could come back and read His Word.. God is truly my Provider, and He multiplies time :)

The Lord is my Provider

I am here to announce... I've got a job!!!!!!

Yes, I have a job now. Finally. Really, finally. At last. And, without PR (permanent residency)! I've been waiting for soooo long. For 6 months! and now, I'm bursting to tell of God's goodness, of how He opened this door to me.

Last November and December, there was a prophecy from an uncle at church.. "Do not worry, God is going to open the door to you very soon. A job that you desire. A good job is waiting for you." Also, in another prophecy.. "God is going to surprise you".

Indeed, this has come to me like a surprise. I was having lunch at Joy's Garden one afternoon and the lady boss, whom I know briefly because I used to pick my cousins up from work, came to talk to me. She asked me whether I was still in uni. I replied that I had already graduated and was looking for work. Straightaway, she turned and took out a name card. She asked me to call the number on it. On the name card was the position of the person and it read "Financial Planner". I was like no, I'm not going to call. This certainly wasn't the job that I desired. Anything but financial planning. :)

But God's ways are indeed higher than our ways. This is one thing that God has been teaching me all this while, throughout the wait for the job. A couple of weeks before I went Joy Garden, I actually got rejected by Deloitte. I was so disappointed because I thought that was the job God planned in advance for me. But it turned out that it wasn't. Anyway, the lady boss of Joy Garden said "Call her". Those words seemed deeper than it normally would have been. It seemed that the Holy Spirit was actually the One saying to me "Call her". And before going back into the kitchen she said, "I don't know why I suddenly asked you about university etc.. maybe it is God's intervention". So i was like.. okay, I think I really should call her since God's ways are indeed higher than my ways and I shouldn't lean on my own understanding. If this really was the open door, then it will be the open door that no man can shut. And, it would be an accounting job as was prophesied.

So I applied for the job. I told the person I was looking for an accounting job. To my surprise, she said 'ok, just send your resume in to my boss and he'll get back to you'. So, it wasn't just a financial planning company! Interview was scheduled to be on Monday (yesterday).

On the day before the interview, at sunday church service, Pastor Benny had a word of knowledge.. "There are some of you who are looking for a job. God is going to open doors, and when God opens a door, no man can shut. Stretch out your hands and receive it, in the manner like you're receiving the job from God, from heaven". (something along those lines, I can't rmb what he said exactly) I felt a weight as I stretched out my hands. Cool stuff huh!

Yes, so now, I am no longer jobless. Finally :) and it is a job that I desire - I've been wanting to do tax accounting and it turned out to be a tax accounting company. I believe nothing is too late, nor too early.. but in all things, God has His perfect timing. and His perfect timing is really perfect as we wait upon Him.

The pay honestly, is really low. hahaha. I was so disappointed when I heard it. and throughout the interview, my mind was on it. =) But since this is the job God has prepared, then like what the uncle prophesied, "A good job is waiting for you".. so it must be a good job, and I believe it. God is going to work in this company in ways my mind cannot fathom. I am going to see His goodness revealed more and more in the days to come! More testimonies huh! :)

God is so real! Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths".

All glory to Jesus!
