right place right time

supposed to fly today.. but weather held me up fromthe early afternoon all the way till four plus pm! At half past four, i was still waiting to see if i had to fly! Well, if i did, i would never have made it for bs. And i am so glad i did.

PP preached about positive confession and the bridling of our tongues, the gift of tongues, etc. I sometimes am amazed at his wisdom. When he expounds on the Word, i just know it must be God cos it jus isnt the wisdom of man speaking.

Chopper flying's been quite fun so far. Maybe cos i have been flying with quite a "love" instructor.. haha.. Duties gonna start coming in.. His grace is gonna see me thru.

i am a king and priest and my words will straighten all controversies and has power. A double portion power. Jesus, even as you put me in the right place and the right time, help me see it and have the courage to receive your blessings.

Jesus.

Jesus. I wanna know more of Jesus.

help me Jesus

had a friend pass away recently.. not sure about the cause, only know that he fell. Met him and talked to him a couple of times. He seemed such an innocent fellow. Now he is with the Lord.

Starting my first sortie tmr.. more to come during the week..

Need more focus in the things i do. Abba, help me through my life. Sometimes i really dont know what to do. Sometimes fear and worry set in. At times i feel quite helpless. But being courageous is about doing things even amidst the fears isnt it? Give me the courage Lord.

Glorification of Your name is ultimately still Your responsibility, and i believe You'll use me in ways beyond my imagination.

God loves me

God loves me. Regardless of my circumstances and my deeds, He loves me. His love was shown to me on the cross, when God came down from His heavely place to face and endure persecution, torment, humiliation and the cross. All at the hand of His creation. He came to love me with an everlasting love. And He gave me the Spirit of adoption, by whom i call Him Abba Father. His name is Love and His perfect love casts out all fears.

busy busy,,

been quite a busy week.. even though we've really only started the sims... Gotta say that i am a bit discouraged by the very high work rate of my colleagues.. But somewhere along the way i believe God was asking me why i was working according to people's expectations and performances...
Guess í've got a lot to learn...

i must say that trying to overcome the aircraft in the sim is quite challenging and fun. Helicopters are definitely the hardest aircrafts to fly. Guess i've always liked e challenge of controlling a machine, esp when it's difficult. I hope i find the same positive excitement from the real thing.

funny thing, this coming weeks.. Kelvin and Joseph are both away for at least another month... Guess it's good and i feel i can get closer to e NS care group...

God is faithful and He calls me friend.. His favour is upon me and He wants me to embrace who and what i am, including my weaknesses. My weaknesses will become His strengths.

man's foolishness

gg thru a testing period now.. But my life is really meant for Jesus. It makes it easier when we remember that our lives are lived for Jesus. We dont always make the right decisions, do the right things. But it is God who vindicates and justifies, and it is Him who gives favour to the undeserved - me. God will see me through every trial and tribulation, and will bring me out for the glorification of Him and the truth He brings.

The wisdom of man is truly foolishness to God. Sometimes i get distressed how the devil can use lies to bring people away from the truth. Man can always come up with his own sayings and principles to live by. But who better knows the truth than the Creator? Isnt it amusing how the creations think they know better than Him? How is it people can judge Christians for their lives and people of other religions dont get judged at all? When people do that it is just blatant that they do not know a single thing about what being a Christian is about...

God is most griefed when we do not believe He loves us and has forgiven us. When we do special things for someone we love, and that person rejects it or refuses to believe we did it for them, we ourselves get hurt. How much more God. How much more for a God who chose to come down as a human being and die for us..

God i pray you break every bondage the devil has on my family. I pray that You will reveal Your truths to them, that Your shalom peace will reign and crush every bondage.

Today's Devotional!!

I opened today's devotional and the following popped up, confirming with the revelation i had received and blogged on July 10th..

Get Back Up!David arose from the ground.2 Samuel 12:20 NAS

Look at David: standing on his balcony looking the wrong way at another man's wife. Then follows a night of sin, an unplanned pregnancy, a failed cover up, a pre-meditated murder, a royal wedding, a public exposure and a dying child. It doesn't get much worse. Covered in sackcloth and ashes he lies on the palace floor pleading for the life of the newborn child. For a whole week he cries, then it's over. "Is the child dead?" he asks. Yes. Listen: "David arose from the ground, washed, anointed himself, and changed his clothes; then he came into the house of the Lord and worshipped." Facing circumstances he couldn't change, receiving forgiveness he couldn't earn, learning a lesson he'd never forget, David closed the book and moved on. In Psalm 51 he prays, "Hide your face from my sin! s and blot out all my iniquity. Create in me a pure heart, O God" ( Psalm 51:9-10 NIV). And God answered his prayer. Listen: "I will sing of Your strength, in the morning I will sing of Your love; for You are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble" ( Psalm 59:16 NIV).
No doubt about it, our sin offends God. But our unwillingness to repent and receive His forgiveness offends Him even more! And that's what we do when we remain stuck in our failures. God never intended such a waste of life! The way to honour God after any failure is to get back up, corrected and redirected, and carry the message of His grace to others who've failed!

Underwater...

starting work tmr and this week will include our first simulator sorties... not prepared at all for them but i know God's grace is more than sufficient for all my needs. Whatever happens will be for good.

Anyway, the weekend proved really eventful. Cos i had to go for this Helicopter Underwater Egress Training... Where i got put in a fake helicopter body which was then lowered into water. I then had to complete certain actions and safely make my egress from the sinking "aircraft". There were a couple of profiles which included some which involved the helicopter turning upside down in water... Considering i am absolutely not the most comfortable person in water, i felt that it really boosted my confidence about gg underwater... Praise Jesus He gave me the courage to go through it... Though i did drink lots of water.. haha..

I would like to proclaim also that i am healed! haha.. from the flu i suffered from not too long ago.. i got really frustated at my medicine and decided to stop taking it totally. Well in case i wasnt really doing it out of faith, i actually kept the medicine aside instead of throwing it away.. well, God blessed me and i am feeling fine and dandy!

God i really need your grace in my life. My weaknesses will become your strengths. And let my life be for the glorification of Your name, not mine.

thanksgiving

The love of God is amazing. It is bursting forth from within me. Funny how life is.. when we become still and believe God, we get in a cycle that keeps on getting more and more amazing. But when we lose our focus and start looking to ourselves, we get trapped into a vicious cycle of works and maybe even depression. But i am convinced that God turns around even this into good for His works. In other words, as a Christian, i cant lose!

I guess God has spoken to me about having a thankful attitude, but the book i am reading by Joyce Meyer jus confirmed everything and made it straight forward for me. Having a a thankful attitude is different from thanking to get our blessings. A thankful attitude gives thanks continuously for what He has already done. For who He is, and who He has made me in His grace. I am who i am by His grace. And we thank God because He hears us. And when He hears us, He grants our requests. It is all done!

consciousness

Been receiving about consciousness recently. About being righteousness conscious. That instead of staying in the realm of saying there is therefore now no condemnation, i need to look further and say i am the righteousness of God in Christ. The former brings me into neutrality but the latter brings me into blessings and favour.

Seems to me that ever since i have understood what grace was a little more, it has been easier to understand the Word when i read it. But that's to be expected according to the Word. For when we understand grace, we are unveiled in our understanding of the Word. (2 cor 3:14)

With regards to a relationship, God has simply this to say, "Trust Me with it son, just rest. I love you".
