What do you have?
I see what I don't have!
I focused on what I lack!
I speak of what I don't have!
I drain my mind just by thinking of what I don't have and how to get what I don't have!
But yet You say and do otherwise! You say to me,
"you give", "how many you have"
I'm flabbergasted..I don't know how to reply You.
But I know that You are right as You always use what You have to make more.
Even when it seems like there is nothing yet You have that very one thing to multiply.
In the beginning, there was darkness, but yet You speak the word and things begin to happen.
The WORD is there!
Matt 14:16-21
16But Jesus said to them, "They do not need to go away; you give them something to eat!" 17They said to Him, "We have here only five loaves and two fish."18And He said, "Bring them here to Me."19Ordering the people to sit down on the grass, He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up toward heaven, He blessed the food, and breaking the loaves He gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds,20and they all ate and were satisfied. They picked up what was left over of the broken pieces, twelve full baskets.21There were about five thousand men who ate, besides women and children.
The disciples saw the limitations "the large crowd & what the food they don't have" and they were confine/limited within their minds. You have them breakthrough just by using what they have and multiply it.
1 Kings 17: 10-16
10So he arose and went to Zarephath, and when he came to the gate of the city, behold, a widow was there gathering sticks; and he called to her and said, "Please get me a little water in a jar, that I may drink."11As she was going to get it, he called to her and said, "Please bring me a piece of bread in your hand." 12But she said, "As the LORD your God lives, I have no bread, only a handful of flour in the bowl and a little oil in the jar; and behold, I am gathering a few sticks that I may go in and prepare for me and my son, that we may eat it and die."13Then Elijah said to her, "Do not fear; go, do as you have said, but make me a little bread cake from it first and bring it out to me, and afterward you may make one for yourself and for your son.14"For thus says the LORD God of Israel, 'The bowl of flour shall not be exhausted, nor shall the jar of oil be empty, until the day that the LORD sends rain on the face of the earth.'" 15So she went and did according to the word of Elijah, and she and he and her household ate for many days.16The bowl of flour was not exhausted nor did the jar of oil become empty, according to the word of the LORD which He spoke through Elijah.
2 Kings 4
The Widow's Oil
1Now a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, "Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared the LORD; and the creditor has come to take my two children to be his slaves."2Elisha said to her, "What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?" And she said, "Your maidservant has nothing in the house except a jar of oil."
At times, I think and see WHAT I DON'T HAVE or I HAVE NOT ENOUGH but You always say otherwise. You have me look at WHAT I HAVE!
You have me look at what You have given to me and what I'm to do with what I have. Just the widow, they say they have nothing but truth is they do have. Yes! I do have!!
I may belittle my ability or feel small of my skill/talents but I do have. It may be little but it does not matter as I carry Your ability and that is to use what I have be it skills, finances, ability, talents, wisdom and etc to make more.
I realize that it all starts with what I HAVE!! and WHAT I DO WITH WHAT I HAVE! It's in limitations and confinement, I learn to use what I have which is what You have already given and use it to multiply and rise above the limitations.
When I give all that I have unto You, You would MULTIPLY IT!
You amaze me! AWESOME GOD!

Matt 15:32
Four Thousand Fed
32And Jesus called His disciples to Him, and said, "I feel compassion for the people, because they have remained with Me now three days and have nothing to eat; and I do not want to send them away hungry, for they might faint on the way." 33The disciples said to Him, "Where would we get so many loaves in this desolate place to satisfy such a large crowd?"34And Jesus said to them, "How many loaves do you have?" And they said, "Seven, and a few small fish."35And He directed the people to sit down on the ground;36and He took the seven loaves and the fish; and giving thanks, He broke them and started giving them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people.37And they all ate and were satisfied, and they picked up what was left over of the broken pieces, seven large baskets full. 38And those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.The disciples saw the limitations "the large crowd & what the food they don't have" and they were confine/limited within their minds.

THOMAS EDISON
This morning, You remind me about Thomas Edison, he wasn't just an inventor but an INDUSTRIALIST. I remember reading somewhere which mentioned that Thomas Edison as one of the greatest inventors and industrial leaders in history.
Okay, so I was asking, " what is the meaning of an industrialist?" I browsed through the web for its meaning but before I get there. I remembered, You wanted to stress on the importance and significant which this person made not just in one life but many lives. He was like driving force in starting and sustaining of an industry.
Hmm..sounds familiar, it reminds me of Joseph :D
I know, You're reminding me that I'm not just living for the now but the future. Making an impact not just in one life but many others. So what did I found in the web? Well, I read a few and I came across this one article which is interesting and its written by a university student. Tell me what do You think of it
Below is an excerpt:
What is the meaning of industrialist? Industrialist construed as a person that have been assigned to sustain and implement commercial value. Industrialist in economic and trade terms.
TERMS OF TRADE: Entrepreneurs construed as an individual with creativity and initiative higher, far-sighted, and have long-term vision for success of him-self and community.
It even tells you how one can become a good industrialist, I guess the uni student have intention of being an industrialist!

THOUGHTS
Honestly, I really feel like giving up - QUIT!! =_= LoL....
My boss just commented that I'm LOW in performance for my work to which I TOTALLY AGREE!!! I'm really clueless a to what is happening as I'm doing the same things as how I did when I started. I followed what my boss had taught and trained me but these two months, low perfomance =_=
Weird thing is when I'm about give up, my dear friend- Holy Spirit(HS) is there to spark my thoughts about Thomas Edison. Exactly, what does Thomas Edison has to do with what I'm going through?
Well, HS have me think about the countless times, Thomas Edison failed in his invention yet he was still PERSISTENT, CONSISTENT and of all still so ever PASSIONATE about his invention. All right, Hs got me thinking for the moment. I asked myself how did Thomas Edison did it... but then I realized that it really took a man of character to be able to do what he did.
Afterall who would have such persistent, consistent and passion in pursuing for the same thing. He seems to have manage to take all the failures to fueled him to stay focus and telling him that he is getting closer and closer to having his invention a reality.
As for me, a rejected appointment again...never mind, I'm getting there soon, I'm getting my appointment and from that ONE it would generate even MORE APPOINTMENTS!!! Jus like that one light bulb, led to so many bulbs and the different sizes and shapes too.
Ahhhh.. now I do feel way much better!! Thank you so very much HS!!!

BEing 1st DOing 2nd
This morning woke up with this in my mind - Genesis 1:26-29
I remember distinctively that in my dream, I heard a voice reminding me about these verses.
You first made man in Your likeness and image. Then You placed them in the garden and told man to subdue and take dominion. I like the amplified version that says, "subdue it" (using all its vast resources in the service of God and man.)More about this later...
The main point here is that, You first made man in Your image and likeness and gave man the Your authority. It's after all these that You have man subdue and take dominion.
It's still the BEing that's important here. Despite all that I see and the circumstances around me, I'm to remember- the Holy Spirit engineered all these circumstances is so that I can allow You to keep shaping, forming and molding me so that I can BE like You. So that I can BE just like the pattern Son, Jesus who is Your BEloved son whom You are well pleased with.
I must keep allowing You to shape and form me so that I can begin to see, feel, hear, think and respond as Your son would. It's in my formation in BEing the very son , You want me to be which would bring You pleasure and delight.
What's the point of subdue and take dominion if I'm not first BEing formed in Your image and likeness. Then I would just be like the ordinary people out there- just trying to make a living, sustaining and living a routine life!!! I DON"T WANT TO LIVE A ROUTINE LIFE!!!
I WANT TO LIVE THE LIFE THAT YOU WANT ME TO LIVE-AN EXTRAORDINARY LIFE!!
The garden(marketplace) is big and with the trees, I must beforehand know what is the purpose of me being there and what I'm to do if not I would be eating from the forbidden tree. It's so vital that I keep allowing You to form me cause I don't want to be a casualty there. NO! I don't want to be bound and oppressed by the system of Babylonian.
I ONLY DRINK FROM THE RIVER OF LIFE!! THIS RIVER OF LIFE SETS ME FREE!!
By allowing You to form me then I would be an accurate representative of Yours and carrying Your authority and executing it accurately. That's why, You took all that 30 years to form Jesus, so that He could be the BEloved Son whom You are well pleased with. It's after all the formation that You begin to have Him start His ministry.
The formation is so vital because of the assignment that which is coming. To know You more and more and have You shape me is all for a reason - for the assignment. To represent You accurately, execute it as how You want me to and to complete it, it needs a man that already been taken by You and Your hand is the midst of shaping him.
Now this is why, BEing comes first and the DOing later!!

Days of understanding is HERE ALREADY!!
Still on papa's compiled notes
The purpose of God will be revealed to us progressively.
Day after day God will reveal His purposes to us. God will not hide things from us but the God of revelation, wisdom, light, understanding, etc. There will be no confusion. Confusion doesn’t come from Him. Before God starts God will tell us and we will have full knowledge even before He starts. We will always be ahead of the enemy. God will give us the info needed for transformation to take place.
Every morning, God’s wisdom, revelation and understanding will come to us. We will start from the point of knowing. Uncertainty will no longer be there and in our mind. There will be no fear and uncertainty because we will know the end from the beginning. We will have the same point of knowledge that will protect us. We will see what God sees and we will know what God knows. The days of ignorance will be over. The veil of our eyes and heart will be removed and scriptures and understanding will come. We will be in the power of knowing. We will know without a shadow of doubt. The purpose of God will be revealed to us. When we pray everyday, God will show us the end from the beginning and we will know the full story so that we can take charge and not live in uncertainty. We will act from the point of knowing.
Jesus knew everything from beginning to the end. He acted in every way because He knew everything. Our life will be in the power of knowing. The purpose of God will be revealed to us. There will no more fear, ignorance, uncertainty.
You said, "DAYS OF IGNORANCE IS OVER & THE DAYS OF UNDERSTANDING IS HERE ALREADY!"
I was reminded of what You said last Sunday,
1. Your hand is upon us and You are shaping our thinking pattern that we would have the mind of Christ in us
2. The veil of our eye and heart is removed and we would have the understanding.
I have been praying and declaring all the above every morning, today in that short meeting, I literally saw these words, "God will show us the end from the beginning and we will know the full story so that we can take charge and not live in uncertainty. We will act from the point of knowing." appearing before my eyes adn I begin to realise that You have been giving me this understanding and that is why nowadays I begin to act or do things with such certainty. I act from the point of knowing!!
God has a past, I have a future
Excerpt from complied notes on "Man of the purpose"
Isa 46:9 Remember former things from forever; for I am God, and no other is God, even none like Me,
Remember the things that God has made happened in the past. God has a past. There is a history about God that proofs that when He talks, it happened. God has that testimony and record where when He spoke things happen. This is His history. The past about the Lord is that He has made all things well. God made the earth and recreate the earth. The God that we serve can turn things around. This is His track record. It does not matter how dark our lives can be, God has a history and a past and God has a track record and He can turn things around. Take this position in the spirit. He has fulfilled every word even in the midst of impossible situations, to him who believes. He has made things happen and nothing is impossible for Him.
God has a past, we have a future. In our heart when we face circumstances we know that God has always done well. In the most unseeing situation, God came out with flying colors at impossible situations. Every day when we wake up, remember God has a past and we have a future. We stand not because of who we are or what we know but because God has a track record and He has done well and according to His word. Our God is well able to do it. Believe!! This is our starting point. Because of this I have a great future.
My starting point is HIM!! You are "Thou Art" meaning You are there to meet me before tomorrow comes. You already have a proven track record therefore You would have covered every aspect well as You would know what is my response. Before I can meet tomorrow, You are already there! I do not have to fear because You proven that You have covered everything well and all I need to do is just obey and follow Your instructions and it would be of success. As You have plans that would only give me success and prosper me, never plans that would harm me.

Just like a MAGNET
Have been reading compiled notes from papa's sharing entitled "Man Of Purpose"
Excerpt from the compiled notes:
" There will be no crisis for us because God wil bless us, change us and transform us and in us all things will be blessed. God will cause us to be a blessing fro others for they don't have anything. The nations will call us blessed."
As I came read the above, I was reminded of what You said to Abram in Gen 12:2-3
Excerpt from the compiled notes:
" There will be no crisis for us because God wil bless us, change us and transform us and in us all things will be blessed. God will cause us to be a blessing fro others for they don't have anything. The nations will call us blessed."
As I came read the above, I was reminded of what You said to Abram in Gen 12:2-3
The Lord said to Abram,
" I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you;
I will make your name great,
and you will be a blessing.
I will bless those who bless you,
and whoever curses you I will curse;
and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you."
I remember papa talking about this in one of his teaching series. He said, we are just like magnet that attracts blessing and every good thing because You have designed our body in such a manner that it's meant to keep all these and not the other way round. Which is why, when our body keeps hurts, pain, unforgiveness and etc, our body would not know how to respond as it was not designed to keep all these as it would just breakdown! We are not designed for curse but for blessing.
You have shaped and formed me just like the MAGNET that attracts every blessing and every good things. My body is designed for these!!Goodness and mercy shall surely follow after me since I attract them.

Moses and the burning bush
Exodus 3:1-6
Moses was just doing things in the natural, tending and leading the flocks but yet its at that hour he came upon the portal whereby he could actually cross over to the new world & have a face to face encounter with You. I find this all very irony, all these men in the bible i.e Jacob, Gideon, Abraham, Joshua and etc, they were all doing things in the natural yet it's just at that time or moment they could just be transported into the new world just like that. You know what I mean, they were not doing all these spiritual things such as praying 24/7, reading the scriptures, in church and etc. They could be doing things in the natural yet they could just crossover just like that!.
I believe its like what papa say, there is certain things that we do or in that place (all in the natural) that would just trigger Your very presence to come in that we are already in Your territory. Crossover into the new world just like that. For papa, it's in his office.
I know I'm not going into the religious mode as You can never be limited. It's just that these kind of encounter and crossing over into the new world, it's gonna be very natural for us. At anytime, we could be there, caught in the new world just like that eventhough we are in the natural.
Like Moses was already in Your world, Your territory! That's why You have him remove the sandals as it was holy ground. v.5
When You called him, Moses knew it was You as he could recognize that familiar voice which prompted him to respond, "Here I am" v.4
If it was not a familiar voice, he would have asked "who is that?" and fled off. I know I would have done that. Afterall, seeing a bush on fire yet not burned is already out of the world and then a voice calling your name..human respond "run!" hahahahaha..Yes, Moses recognized Your voice that's why he never fled but just respond to You.
You do have a way of introducing Yourself! v.6 :D
Moses knew You are God but now You are reminding him that You are also the God of his fathers. It's because You are the God of his fathers, the same manner as how You speak, reveal and lead his fathers, Moses would now connect and walk with You in similar manner. As how You have lead his fathers, now You would do the same with him.

How You see me
Last night, I learned That "truth" is TRUTH. Your truth is truth regardless of how or what I think/feel. The truth is :-
1. You believe in me that I can be like You!... even when I don't feel like I can...
2. You believe that I can be great and mighty like You! ...even when I don't feel that great..
3. You love me no matter what!! even when there are times I feel I don't deserve Your love...
4. I am Your son and Your blood!! Just like how Rocky the boxer told his son.
Ahhh...these are Your truth!!
Despite how/what I feel about myself, Your truth remains the same and unchanged as that is how You see me.
You not only speak Your truth but You live the truth as YOU ARE THE TRUTH!!
John 1:14 (from Kenneth S. Wuest: The NT and expanded translation)
And the Word, entering a new mode of existence, became flesh, and lived in a tent (His physical body) among us.
Previously Your word (truth) was in existence through the mode of law but now it has taken a new mode of existence, it became flesh as it dwells in a physical body - Christ's body. Now the truth is not just in the form of law, tablets but now in flesh.
Jesus say, " I am the way, THE TRUTH, and the life."
Jesus not only taught the truth but He lived it as HE IS THE TRUTH. He is not only the messenger but He is the message. The word/truth and Him becomes One and He becomes the standard
Your truth of me is :-
1. You believe in me that I can be like You!
I can be like You because I am meant to be like You! This is my original design.
Gen 1:26
Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness,...."
Gen 1:27
So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them."
It's for this reason, I know I am called to be transformed to be more and more like You so that can carry the full measure of Your grace, truth and glory!!
2. You believe that I can be great and mighty like You! Rule and reign with You on this earth.
In Your eyes, I am a mighty valor. Just like how You look at Gideon even when he did not felt that way. Plus he really was not in a situation that make him look like some sort of mighty valor. Humanly there is nothing mighty about being a cave! You look at Abraham and said You would make him a great nation. At that point of time, he was a man with no citizenship of any nation!!
But that's the thing, You never consider my situation or people around me or even how I feel to affect how You see me. You just know that I can be like You despite of my surroundings, background and people around me because You have made me in You image and likeness.
I have all the ingredients within me to rise to be great and mighty like You.
Gen 1:26
Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground."
Gen 1:28
God blessed them and said to them, "be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdues it. rule over the fish of the sea and birds of the air and over every living creature that moves o the ground."
3. You love me!!
1 John 4:9
In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him.
1 John 4:10
In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
1 John 4:19
"We love Him because He first loved us."
Before I even know You, You have loved me. It's for that reason that You gave Your son to redeem me. Despite of my weaknesses, You still love me. As in 1 Corinthian 13 say, love persevere, love never lose heart nor courage. Love always believe and hope as love never fails.
4. I am Your son!!
Galatians 3:26
"For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus."
Galatians 4:6
"And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!”
I know my spirit is recreated as the Spirit of Your son in in me. When You look at me, You see me as Your son as the spirit of Christ in in me.
These truths are not just in the form of spoken and written form but now it dwells in me. I am living these truth that You have spoken and written. I become the very person to bring fulfillment of these truths. I know You who started this good work in me, You will also bring it to completion. Let me see like how You see and be absolute yielded to the Holy Spirit so that Your truths would be outwork and manifested in my life
1. You believe in me that I can be like You!... even when I don't feel like I can...
2. You believe that I can be great and mighty like You! ...even when I don't feel that great..
3. You love me no matter what!! even when there are times I feel I don't deserve Your love...
4. I am Your son and Your blood!! Just like how Rocky the boxer told his son.
Ahhh...these are Your truth!!
Despite how/what I feel about myself, Your truth remains the same and unchanged as that is how You see me.
You not only speak Your truth but You live the truth as YOU ARE THE TRUTH!!

How You see me
Last night, I learned That "truth" is TRUTH. Your truth is truth regardless of how or what I think. The truth is :-
1. You believe in me that I can be like You!... even when I don't feel like I can...
2. You believe that I can be great and mighty like You! ...even when I don't feel that great..
3. You love me no matter what!! even when there are times I feel I don't deserve Your love...
4. I am Your son and Your blood!! Just like how Rocky the boxer told his son.
Ahhh...these are Your truth!!
Despite how/what I feel about myself, Your truth remains the same and unchanged as that is how You see me.

Chapter 4: Characteristics Of Breakthrough Believers Part II
2. Moved under intense pressure to set the pace.
* A pioneer is one who initiates and sets the pace. Just like in a relay race, the first runner is the one who sets the pace so that the others can follow.
That's why the first runner is very crucial here and he's shouldering a very important responsibility for the rest of his team mates. He's the one who runs first then he would have to overcome every of the obstacles so that the rest can see and follow.
As breakthrough believer we must realize as pioneers going through life, we would face intense pressure in the form of challenges, problems and limitations just like other people. So what's the difference?
The difference is that a pioneer despite being hit hard with all the challenges, setbacks, problems and limitations, the pioneer can still MOVE FORWARD!
Despite intense pressure, the pioneer is moving forward consistently that's why he can set the pace for others to follow in pursuit.
We must realize that God has put in us this ingredient whereby we can be hit hard in life again and again yet we can still move forward.
Just like how I was inspired by this short clip below from the movie Rocky. This is where the father, Rocky gives his son a heart to heart reprimand. His father was saying that he say great potential in him and he started of great in life but somehow along the line, he changed. When pressure came in, he lost it and started to blame other things and people for the misfortune.
He said to his son:
“Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life.
But it ain’t about how hard you hit; it’s about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. . It’s How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done. Now, if you know what you’re worth, then go out and get what you’re worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hits, and not point fingers and blame other people. Cowards do that and that ain’t you. You’re better than that!"
When I heard those statements, it was like You speaking through that short movie clip. Yes, it's about how hard (intense pressure) can hit me but I must keep moving forward. I may have been hurt by people, down with sickness, experience failure but I know for sure is that despite all this I can still MOVE FORWARD!!
This reminds me of what papa said about how he saw himself as a soldier in the battlefield, he was injured but still God said he must move on forward. Despite in pain, he went on forward and as he move on forward, he could see that all his wounds were healed. Now his words are ringing in my ears, "When you are hit or injured, you must still MOVE ON!"
I remember of the countless times when I really felt that I did not know how I was going to get through all the problems and all I wanted to do was to throw in the towel but every time I would feel my spirit wanting to rise and move forward. There was a this very dark moment in my life where I was hurt emotionally for something which I had no control of. That pain was felt physically yet You taught me to just move on forward and the pain was healed.
It may sound cynical to some people as they would say it's easy for me to say this as I don't know what they are going through ( the intensity of pressure). That maybe true but I know for sure is that it's even easier to point fingers and blame others and even God for our misfortune and stay there. It surely takes a lot of courage to rise again and again and to keep moving on.
However I have seen people who have been hit hard by life but they loose the courage to rise and keep moving forward. Then they just go about routine and settled for mediocrity as a way of life.
Rocky told his son
"I'm always going to love you no matter what happens, you're my son, you're my blood and you're the best thing my life. But until you start to believe in yourself , you ain't going to have a life.”
When I heard that, it was like hearing You saying that to me.
I am the best thing to You because when You made me, You looked and said, "very good". No matter what You would always love because I am your son and I'm Your blood. I must believe in myself because You believe in me. I'm made in Your image and that I carry what You carry within me. For me to have life, it's only found in You.
This ability to move forward is what a pioneer breakthrough believer has. Despite being hit hard with all the challenges, setbacks, problems and limitations, the pioneer can still MOVE FORWARD! Because YOU REMAIN UNCHANGEABLE AND YOUR WORDS REMAINS FOREVER.
