Purpose of The Word

2 Timothy 3:16-17 (New International Version)

¹⁶All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, ¹⁷so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

Proverbs 4:20-23

²⁰ My son, pay attention to what I say;
listen closely to my words.

²¹ Do not let them out of your sight,
keep them within your heart;

²² for they are life to those who find them
and health to a man's whole body.

²³ Above all else, guard your heart,
for it is the wellspring of life.

As I read 2tim3:16-17, the word thoroughly caught my eye and i went into the meaning in Hebrew & greek....

3190 yatab - to be, make well

7495 rapha, to cure

I got so so excited and then when i was doing my devotion using proverbs, Prov4 speaks about the Word and shines the purpose of the Word.... they LIFE and Health.... WELLSPRING of Life.

I know not all accepts this teaching.... i believe in both spiritual & physical healing... do not ask me why some are not healed and so on so forth... I do not like to engage into this... I usual encourage people to taste the goodness of His Word and be open to what He will be doing and showing us to change... Here i use the word showing bcos the Holy SPirit is a gentleman. He does not forces us to change rather He shows and encourage us but is all up to us to make that very decision. Do not first think of how you can change or what you should do... rather the heart must make that very decision to allow the Holy Spirit to change... He will take good care of the rest of the steps.... just get the heart issues right first...

I just came back from a camp - Youth camp (theme: Be Ready)

The youths are were pure, eager, willing... that's the beginning of their change in their spiritual walk with the Father. I believed that the Holy SPirit is at work in the hearts of the youths and especially those who took that step of faith to come forward to say "I'm willing to commit to the work of the Father"

Look its not easy.... Jesus too struggled and prayed only thy will be done not his...

though is not easy, but in His time, you will see results and see fruits.... just persevere on my brothers and sisters in Christ especially those serving the Lord full time... Let's keep the Faith.

3weeks back, we went to a village and held a Praise festival. The location we went was where the main hyro project is... you see streetlights for the first time in this country... but just as we planned to start the praise, the electricity went off for 2.5hrs. It never happened to the villagers there but only when we were there... obviously it was a sabotage.

Imagine here with me... if this were to happen in Spore... Complaints, people walk off... the entire event is a Failure.... BUT these audience, they were very very patient with us... we manage to find a generator after 2.5 hrs of waiting and nothing is stopping us to praise our Father and have His word preached.... due to time, we had to cut some songs... the other bands didnt agreed to it except for HRC. I'm so proud and humbled too to be serving with HRC as their sound crew... It was an enjoyable trip to be going into villagers to bring praise in the mist of the ppl there.... kind of reminds me of Rev Tony who once shared about his praise team moving from town to town....

I'm hopping to get some rest before going on full-gear again for the cafe.... will update more on the cafe soon...

i juz need a little rest for now....
