Claiming on the Promises of God

I had started to claim on the Promise of God for my family on the 6th August 2008.
- Authority/Leadership for my hubby
- Enlightenment of his inner man. (Eph 1:18)
Let the Headship of the Family return to its rightful throne.
- Lead us out of the desert

Glory be to God when all these are fullfilled. We will proclaim His Holy name and many will come to hear of our testimony of how the prodigal son returns.

God will not allow any pains to go in vain. He will indeed use us as vessles to glorify His name.

Indeed it has been very painful to live with one that do not obey any kind of authority. One that hates authority and rules. My step son, the prodigal son that I'm talking about. He was brought up in the faith but has turned away from the Lord and instead turn towards the occult, worshipping and glorifying the imposter.

My faith though little.... will be enpowered by the Greatness of my Saviour.
I will continue to pray for the return of this lost son, that he will one day realised that there have been many who love him and continue to pray for him even as he has been blinded by the evil one of how all around him do not love him.

I will not rest, I will not give up. I believe in what is rightly ours should be returned to us.

For I will pur out water on the thirsty land and streams on the dry ground; I will pour out My Spirit on your offspring, and My blessing on your descendants. (Isa 44:3)

But as for me, I will watch expectantly for the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvtion. My God will hear me (Mic 7:7)

If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it shall be done for you. (John 15:7)

Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you shall be saved, you and your household. (Acts 16:31)

I'm convicted in my heart that Jesus intends none to perish, therefore my prodigal son will return and he will proclaim the Lord's name in his return.

I claim all these in Jesus' name.

Death

I received a call from my sister yesterday telling me that a close friend has passed away.
Well, it was April's fool day. I was really hoping that all this would be a big joke and she would call me back and tell me that Dennis was still alive. But sadly that second call never came.

Dennis is know to play pranks on people. He was known to be a joker and a man with a big heart. My heart grieved for him more than I expected to. I was sadden to hear the news, but more so that he probably left the world without knowing Christ. That I never did had a chance to share that part of my life with him.

I know him as my sister's friend. But came to know him a bit better when I visited him in Adelaide during my uni days in Australia. I took a bus to Adelaide and was warmly welcomed by this small, little man. A gregarious man who was generous beyond most Aussies. He invited both my housemate and I to his humble home. He had many friends, we visited many of the farms owned by Dennis' friends. I even drove in his old Ford Falcon. Boy, the first time I drove...

Yes, he had been my very first driving instructor and a good one at that. My sister was still talking about Dennis making a trip here with his wife. I was thinking then I could drive them around and repay his kindness and taking them sightseeing.

I guess I will never have a chance to do that now. Such is life, you let things slip you by and there goes the chance.
