Untimely Deaths

Christian Stuffs, Food for Thought, General No Comments

DID YOU KNOW THESE FACTS? I SURE DIDN’T TILL NOW

Death is certain but the Bible speaks about untimely death!
Make a personal reflection about this….. Very interesting, read until the end……
It is written in the Bible (Galatians 6:7): ‘Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man sow, that shall he also reap’.

Here are some men and women who mocked God :

  • John Lennon (Singer):
  • Some years before, during his interview with an American Magazine, he said:
    ‘Christianity will end, it will disappear. I do not have to argue about that. I am certain..
    Jesus was ok, but his subjects were too simple, today we are more famous than Him’ (1966).
    Lennon, after saying that the Beatles were more famous than Jesus Christ, was shot six times.

  • Tancredo Neves (President of Brazil ):
  • During the Presidential campaign, he said if he got 500,000 votes from his party, not even God would remove him from Presidency. Sure he got the votes, but he got sick a day before being made President, then he died.

  • Cazuza (Bi-sexual Brazilian composer, singer and poet):
  • During A show in Canecio ( Rio de Janeiro ), while smoking his cigarette, he puffed out some smoke into the air and said:’God, that’s for you..’ He died at the age of 32 of LUNG CANCER in a horrible manner.

  • The man who built the Titanic
  • After the construction of Titanic, a reporter asked him how safe the Titanic would be.
    With an ironic tone he said: ‘Not even God can sink it’. The result: I think you all know what happened to the Titanic

  • Marilyn Monroe (Actress)
  • She was visited by Billy Graham during a presentation of a show. He said the Spirit of God had sent him to preach to her. After hearing what the Preacher had to say, she said: ‘I don’t need your Jesus’. A week later, she was found dead in her apartment.

  • Bon Scott (Singer)
  • The ex-vocalist of the AC/DC. On one of his 1979 songs he sang: ‘Don’t stop me; I’m going down all the way, down the highway to hell’. On the 19th of February 1980, Bon Scott was found dead, he had been choked by his own vomit.

  • Campinas (IN 2005)
  • In Campinas , Brazil a group of friends, drunk, went to pick up a friend…..The mother accompanied her to the car and was so worried about the drunkenness of her friends and she said to the daughter holding her hand, who was already seated in the car: ‘My Daughter, Go With God And May He Protect You.’ She responded: ‘Only If He (God) Travels In The Trunk, Cause Inside Here…..It’s Already Full ‘ Hours later, news came by that they had been involved in a fatal accident, everyone had died, the car could not be ecognized what type of car it had been, but surprisingly, the trunk was intact. The police said there was no way the trunk could have remained intact. To their surprise, inside the trunk was a crate of eggs, none was broken.

  • Christine Hewitt (Jamaican Journalist and entertainer)
  • said the Bible (Word of God) was the worst book ever written. In June 2006 she was found burnt beyond recognition in her motor vehicle. Many more important people have forgotten that there is no other name that was given so much authority as the name of Jesus. Many have died, but only Jesus died and rose again, and he is still alive. ‘Jesus’

    PS: If it was a joke, you would have sent it to everyone. So are you going to have courage to send this?.
    I have done my part, Jesus said ‘If you are embarrassed about me, I will also be embarrassed about you before my father.’

    ‘Lord, I love you and I need you, come into my heart, and bless me, my family, my home, and my friends, in Jesus’ name. Amen.’

    Partaking the Holy Communion

    Christian Stuffs No Comments

    From my personal experience and after attending so many churches, the most annointed church (in the world also) is New Creation Church. This is because a lot of healing takes place and you hear testimonies after testimonies of people being healed and come to Jesus. It is also from this church that I learnt the true meaning of the Holy Communion – the wine which represents the blood of Jesus to take away your sins and the bread which represents Jesus’ body to remove your sickness and disease. There are testimonies of terminal and hopeless cases being healed when relative partake the holy communion in the hospital to the amazement of the doctors when the patient gets healed from cancer, wakes up from a coma, etc. When you partake the Holy Communion, you need to take it with faith and not to try and see if it works. Recently, I took the Holy Communion at a friend’s relative’s place as she was diagnosed with third stage cancer of the uterus. There is resurrection power of Jesus in taking the Holy Communion.

    Happy Easter Sunday

    Easter eggs
    Yesterday was Easter Sunday and my church in Georgetown Baptist Church put up a wonderplay play with a short movie of the Passion of Christ showing Jesus before his crucifixion. It is also a time to forgive previous grievances and hurts done by others. Easter is to celebrate the resurrection power of Jesus when he died at the cross and he is now alive in Heaven. One day, when all Christians die, they will reunite in heaven and stay there for eternity – which is a very very long time. While it is better to stay in heaven where there is no sorrow, pain or death, it is good to make ourselves useful here on here promoting the Kingdom of God by preaching to our loved ones so that they can be saved from eternal damnation in hell and by tithing.

    Shout to the Lord on American Idol 2008

    Christian Stuffs, YouTube No Comments

    I stumbled this YouTube video recently and decided to blog about it.

    Did you know that the top 8 on American Idol sang Shout To The Lord twice?

    First they sang it on April 9th starting the song with My Shepherd. Then then on April 10th, they sang it again but this time they started with My Jesus. Watched by millions around the world, this is a great step forward, indirectly spreading the gospel. And a very cool move by FOX for letting them do it the 2nd night with the full version. This was awesome. Praise God!

    For those who missed it, here it is. Enjoy!

    Just make a donation for Thai orphans

    Christian Stuffs, Diana's Diary, General 10 Comments

    I just make a donation to the Thai orphans through Pastor Cheah Chee Moon. His dream is to ensure the homeless children under his care in Chiang Rai, Thailand, acquire a sound education. To achieve this, the 46-year-old Penangite recently embarked on a fund-raising mission to collect money for the schooling expenditure of the 56 children in his centre, called Agape Home. Riding a 30-year-old Honda Cub, Cheah travelled from Thailand to Singapore through the west coast of peninsula Malaysia.

    “I am hoping that people will generously donate a ringgit for every kilometre covered.” said Cheah, who expects to have ridden about 6,000km by the time he returns to Thailand. Cheah’s involvement with orphaned and destitute children in Thailand began in 1984 when he went there as a missionary worker.

    He found that there were far too many of them, some ending on the streets after both their parents succumbed to AIDS. “Some of these children were also HIV-positive and needed special care,” said Cheah. “My heart went out to them and I decided to take up the challenge of giving them a better life.”

    He added that these street children had little opportunity in life and no way of acquiring an education. After years of working hard as a missionary to take care of their needs, he set up Agape Home several years ago to take in destitute children and give them a proper education.

    According to Cheah, he wanted the children in Agape Home to go as far as possible academically. “Once they are well-educated, they will be able to take good care of themselves,” said Cheah, who runs the home with the help of four workers. He said homeless children had better opportunities in Malaysia compared to Thailand as there were many centres in Malaysia catering to their needs.

    The Queue Up Church

    Christian Stuffs, General 1 Comment

    Here is a youtube video showing the queue to New Creation Church about one and a half hours before the service starts. Imagine such hunger to hear God’s word being preached by Pastor Joseph Prince, a modern day very annointed prophet and preacher. And they are not queuing up for ang pows or some free gifts from Her World magazine.

    In fact, one of the shop owners got so curious what people are queueing up for that she decided to join in the crowd and then became a Christian and accepted Christ into her life. That’s the living testimony of how people came to know this dynamic church that preaches to the whole world, United States included via satellite TV. And this was my former church when I was still in Singapore. I really missed not being able to attend in person the 4 services on Sundays. If you happen to be reading this and is in Singapore, just check up on newcreation.org.sg for the time of the service and make sure you don’t miss it. I promise you won’t regret it.

    Joseph Prince at Hillsong Conference 2007

    Christian Stuffs, YouTube 15 Comments

    I have been amazed at the success of Pastor Joseph Prince’s preaching to the world. He is the senior pastor of New Creation Church in Singapore. From a mere 100 plus members, New Creation Church has grown to be about 15,000 members now. It has the largest Hokkien service in Singapore with more than one thousand members.

    Why do people love Pastor Prince? For one, Pastor Joseph Prince has received word of healing, word of faith from the Holy Spirit. He is very much in tune and walks closely with the promptings of the Holy Spirit. I mean, this guy really listens and receives fresh manna from heaven. You could say he is a modern day prophet. And whatever he says has come to pass and people who listen to him have made money. Sometimes he drops nuggets of gold to his congregation by telling them when to buy gold for instance, at the right time and when to invest money. Not only were people made richer, some of them have been healed from sickness and terminal cases. Though not everyone has been healed, but the fact that many were healed listening and following his teachings, speaks volumns of his annointedness.

    I still continue to buy his teaching CDs, music CDs, sermons and books from his web site in NewCreation.org.sg Indeed Pastor Prince is extremely annointed and blessed. Recently New Creation Church through Rock Productions has paid 100 million Singapore dollars down payment for a new iconic building for his growing congregation in Singapore. If you think he is a cult leader, definitely people around the world won’t be fooled by him. He preaches to USA, Uganda, India and a few other countries around the world via tv satellite. Now you Singaporeans are very lucky to be able to catch Pastor Prince live in New Creation Church. Though the queue is very long, but it is well worth it.

    Window Shopping and Wedding Dinner

    I came back from KL last night after 4 days staying in Subang Jaya for business and also to attend my friend’s niece’s wedding dinner in 5-star Nikko Hotel in Ampang, near to KLCC. Below are some of the beautiful photos taken during the trip.

    Your Youth will be Renewed like the Eagles

    Christian Stuffs No Comments

    All women are daughters of Sarah, wife of Abraham. When Sarah was 60 years old, Pharoah, King of Egypt wanted her to be in his harem. She was beautiful in her old age. And when Sarah reached 90 years of age, Abimelech, king of Gerar, wanted her in his harem as well. Sarah’s youth was literally renewed like the eagles. Even at the age of 90, a king wanted her and she had the strength and youth to conceive seed. God renewed Sarah’s youth and opened her womb to conceive Isaac at 91 years old. She was physically attractive and looked young in her golden years. Imagine, two kings wanted Sarah to be in their harems and she must have looked very attractive to them physically. This is not spiritual renewal that you cannot see but tangible and real. Thank goodness, all women are daughters of Sarah and we need to wait upon the Lord to renew our youth.

    Eschatology and Missiology

    Christian Stuffs, General No Comments

    You might be wondering what those two terms above mean. Well, Eschatology is defined as the study of events on earth that leads to the establishment of God’s final kingdom. On the other hand, missiology is the study of strategies and initiatives that determines the final population of God’s kingdom.

    Hence, Eschatology + Missiology = Our Destiny.

    Basically, a kingdom requires a king, a territory and subjects. What happens when you have a king, subjects but no territory? A refugee camp!

    God established himself a kingdom through creation. Adam and Eve were the first man and woman God created. When Eve sinned, Adam suffered from temporary lapse of judgement. Afterall, it was Eve who asked Adam to taste the forbidden fruit and hence, it was woman who sinned. Interesting eh?
