Psalm 18:30- “As for God, his way is perfect: The Lord’s word is flawless; he shields all who take refuge in him.”
‭
‭Man may fail on the word that they promised you, but do know that God will never fail His promises on you! God is a keeper of His Word, when He said it, He will do it. If His word has told you that you are healthy, then you are healthy; when His word says that you have His abundance of peace, then you have that peace in you; when His Word says that you shall enjoy long life and see good days, He will ensure that it comes to pass! For even when you are faithless, He will still remain faithful in your life. Therefore in order to reign in life, you are to take God at His words seriously, knowing that He is completely dependable. As you take refuge in His word, trust Him in all that He has spoken, the flawless words will turn your situation around, from sickness into health, from depression into joy, from fear into boldness! At any time that you face challenges, run to His Word and find all that you need. For God shall supply all that you need far more than you can imagine and think of, He will not fail you!

Isa43:18-19 (NIV)
"Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.
See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland.

Dear friend, as we enter the new year, we are to be assured that everything is new, so no matter what has happened before, let the past be passed. Let go of what is behind of you and see what is ahead of you. Stop dwelling on the past, move forward in the destiny God has planned for you.
Forget the hurt that holds you back, perceive the comfort God has for you;
Forget the pain and disease that bother you, perceive the healing God has given to you;
Forget the lacking that limits you, perceive the blessings and prosperity God supplies to you according to His glorious riches;
Forget the broken relationship that hurts you, perceive the restoration and love God has for you.

Now, everything is new in Christ! Trust in Him and His finished work on the cross. He has done it all for you and me, therefore, we are to enjoy and rejoice in Him.
The Lord we trust is the one who makes impossible becomes possible and who turns the bad into good.
Nothing is too hard for Him, so, let us step out boldly knowing that when God is for us, nothing can be against us.
Start the new year right with right believing which produces right living.
Hallelujah!

约翰福音3：34 神所差来的就说神的话，因为神赐圣灵给他是没有限量的。

感谢主！在全新的一年，上帝要你的生命是不被限制，在来临的一年是无可限量，爆炸性的一年。祂已经用一切我們所需的來裝備我們，好让我们有个丰盛的生命。祂把裝滿了无限可能，無限潛能，无限創意与點子的“种子”放在你心中， 所以你要開始去探讨，挖掘，它们才能开花结果，上帝的大能在你生命中要大大彰显出来。

你必須深信不疑今年绝对会是突破的一年，相信你有成功的條件，牢記自己是至高神的兒女（约翰福音1：12，加拉太书3：26），你是為了要成就大事而被造，你是基督的使者，被赋予伟大的使命（哥林多后书5：20）。上帝不要你的生命只是庸庸碌碌，得过且过罢了，祂要你出色，並賦予你能力、见识、才华、智慧与超自然的能力，祂要你里面所有的福份流露出来，影响周遭的人。

圣经说： 上帝已經将各样属灵的福气都赐给我们了（以弗所书3：20）。請注意，它用是過去完成式，而在约翰福音19：30也说‘一起都成了’！所以現在就是时候我們去运用，去享受的时刻！啊们！

Psalm 3:8- “Victory comes from you, O LORD. May you bless your people."
‭‭
My friends, You can't earn victory by your effort and even if you can, it requires your effort to maintain it. Don't you realize that relying by your own effort is full of burden and heavy laiden? You need to ensure that you are able to do it, but when one day you fail, condemnation starts to rule. But victory in life comes from Jesus and Jesus alone! It is through His finished work at the cross that you gain victory over your health, finance, relationship and all! It is because of Jesus perfect accomplishment that you can enjoy all that He has accomplished! It is never you who can do it by your own but simply Jesus! He has blessed you with all that He has, so stand firm in the victory ground, stand firm in what He has promised you, stand firm knowing that salvation comes from Jesus alone, stand firm knowing that you can't maintain your salvation, it's Jesus perfect sacrifice that maintains it for you for eternal! Therefore, when you are In Christ, nothing can reverse what He has done for you!

创世记28：15 我也与你同在，你无论往哪里去，我必保佑你，领你归回这地，总不离弃你，直到我成全了向你所应许的]。

你正在黑暗中迷航嗎？或是感到憂傷、恐懼、罪疚、懷疑或失望？你逐漸對耶稣失去信心？但對耶稣而言，没有什么能拦阻祂对你的爱。雖是肉眼無法看見，但祂確實近在咫尺。祂說：「我總不撇下你，也不丟棄你」（希伯來書13：5）。

启示录19：16 。。。万王之王，万主之主。

因着耶稣的恩典與救贖，我们必然在仇敵面前大大的誇勝，並且知道，唯有祂是最可靠的，祂是我们随时的帮助，我們呼求的時候，祂必應允我們。如同在大海中一样，并不是什么都可以抓的，唯有抓住從船上扔下的繩索，才能安全的上岸。耶穌基督是昨日、今日，一直到永遠都不改變的，祂是最堅固的磐石，永不動搖，唯有信靠祂，才是我们人生最对的选择。

親愛主耶稣，感谢祢对我永远的爱，祢應許總不撇下，也不丟棄我們，这话是真的。當眼前一片黑暗濛濛時，我就轉眼仰望祢，我就看见光亮了，有祢的同在，驅散黑暗，恐惧就逃跑，我心得安慰。阿门！

Psalm 103:10- “he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities.”
‭‭
Imagine that if we are to be treated based on our sins and receiving repayment based on our iniquities, how sorrowful it can be and how hopeless it can be? However, for God so loves that world, for God so loves you and I that He sent Jesus to come to the rescue! God is a father who has compassion and love towards you, He does not treat us as our sins deserve but instead He sent Jesus as a Savior to save us! Therefore, if we are to receive whatever that we deserve, we will not live life abundantly, and if God's heart is to punish you, there's no reason that He would need to send Jesus to us and sacrificing for us at the cross. There's no reason for Jesus to be punished by bearing all the stripes, to be thrown into the dungeon and to suffer. But all that He did has a reason and that is to save you! Jesus took the treatment that we deserved by sacrificing on the cross so that we have the kingly treatment He owns! How wonderful! We are supposed to be punished, but Jesus took it; we are supposed to be cursed but Jesus took it, therefore we took His kingly treatment by being blessed! We are supposed to be punished with sickness, but Jesus bore it at the cross so that we can have His kingly health by being healthy and enjoy long life! My friends, do not let Jesus died in vain, for all that He did carry a purpose - that is to save you! Remember that you are no longer the same, but the transfer and divine exchange has taken place, you are now reigning in life like a king with Jesus at the right hand side of our Father in Heaven! :)

诗篇72：16 在地的山頂上，五穀必然茂盛。

通常在山頂上，沒有什麼植物，只有光禿禿的石頭和青苔，當然，你也不会看到那裡有五穀茂盛的景像。

在诗篇72，所罗门向上帝求告：「在地的山頂上，五穀必然茂盛」。这描述了他作王時富饶的景像。如果在山頂上生長五穀极不尋常，那所罗门的祷告是要表明什么呢？这是要表明即使在貧脊之地，上帝的大能仍可令粮食出產。是的，这告诉我们说，在人所不能的，在神凡事都能（马太19：26），我们若能信，在信的人，凡事都能（马可9：23）。即使在旷野，即使在沙漠，全能的神也能为你开道路，开江河。哈利路亚！

也許你觉得自己很渺小，你的存在可有可无，可天父祂却视你为宝为尊（以赛亚43：4），祂把你铭刻在祂掌心上（以赛亚49:16），祂要使用你 來成就大事，你的生命是兴起发光，不能被隐藏的，人都要来亲近你帮助你的，恩惠与慈爱是紧随你的。阿们！

以赛亚书41：18我要在净光的高处开江河，在谷中开泉源，我要使沙漠变为水池，使干地变为涌泉。

Psalm 30:11 - You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy.

Coming to the end of the year, as you look back to the past few months, you will realise that the God who is faithful in bringing you through before, is still faithful to bring you through now! Jesus is forever the same, and guess what? He will never fail you! Life may be throwing you lemons, but remember that you can turn the lemon into lemonade! Things may seem rough, waves may seem rough, storms may seem great, but guess what? You are always above the storms, you are always at the position of Christ, as He is, so are you in this world! Therefore, be glad that God has turned your wailing into dancing, so instead of dwelling in the mistakes and problems, wailing over them, why not stand up and turn it into dancing? When God promised you, there must be a turning point! Furthermore, He has removed your sackcloth and clothed you with joy! When you are clothed with joy, it simply means, no matter where you are, what you are doing, the joy of the Lord has become your strength, you are covered with His everlasting joy! Hence, step into a new day with boldness, for God's grace is always enough for you!

Eph 6:15
and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.

Dear friend, have you put on the shoes that enable you to walking forward?
There is a lot of times when we are wearing the shoes with famous brand such as Adidas, Nike, New Balance, Sketchers and etc that you can name of (which symbolize the steps we take with anxious and worries by self effort in our daily lives), always cause us to walk with extra carefulness that lead to heavy laden and pressure especially when we are walking through the place full of mud.
Instead of making ourselves not convenient, why not we put on the "yellow boot" that Phua Chu Kang used to wear and walk freely across the mud, right?
After the above illustration, can you relate it back to your daily life?
Instead of taking every step of life with worries and awareness that burden us, why not we let god and let God?
Instead of striving and struggling, why not we put our trust on the God who never fails us?
Now is the time for you to decide and move on, beloved!
Let's choose to walk your life with the word of God and the good news that God has given to you daily.
The gospel of peace leads you to the promised land without heavy burdens and worries. Though you might face problems each day, but you can put your trust in God and rely on Him instead of yourself.

Let's put on the shoes of peace and move forward readily with peace, joy and love.
In Him, we found hope and grace that sustains us in time of our need.
Praise the Lord!
