Modeling Evangelism

“Papa, does Ah Gong and Ah Ma know Jesus?”

Papa: Ah Ma knows but not Ah Gong.

J: Why you never tell Ah Gong about Jesus?

Papa: I did. But he didn’t believe. We can pray.

J: I have already prayed for them. I also prayed for all my friends in school to know Jesus. I told them but they didn’t believe.

Papa: When did you pray?

J: During nap times... I prayed softly.

Papa: Can you pray for Ah Gong again?

J closed his eyes and whispered a prayer for him.

The heart of evangelism leads to the hand of evangelism. If we model out the importance of reaching the lost, our child will catch it. Some things are caught, rather than taught. #fathering101

Jesus Taught J New Song

J woke up and said, “Papa, I have learnt a new song that nobody taught me before.”

Papa: Who taught you then?

J: Jesus.

And he began to sing...

“God has you
God has you

He gives you toys
He gives you books
He gives you eyes
He gives you mouth
He gives you hands
He gives you legs
He gives you everything

Jesus loves you the most
He loves you most
More than anyone in the world

Trust Jesus
Trust Jesus
And you will go heaven

I want to go and see Jesus
I want to go and see Jesus

New earth blue and brown
New earth blue and brown

Jesus loves you.”

He blew my mind away once again. He sang spontaneously and prophetically. Never underestimate how your child can encounter Jesus in his own secret place.

Our role is simply to expose our child to His Presence so that he can be fathered by the True Father. #fathering101

Finances - God Is Faithful

God is so good!

He is never early. But He is never late. He does things suddenly at the right time.

In between that, it can make you really edgy, so that you have no choice but to trust and lean on Him. #sogood

Tongues & His Voice

I was speaking in tongues when J asked me to speak in normal languages because he doesn’t understand.

So I said, “You can ask Jesus for interpretation. You can speak in tongues and ask Jesus to show you what you are speaking too.”

Then I added, “Can you ask Jesus for a Word for me?”

He nodded and started speaking in tongues...

Then he said, “I know! I saw it! I saw Papa sliding down a rainbow.”

Immediately, I felt Jesus saying, “Rest on and enjoy My promises.”

It was a timely Word because I am waiting for something.

You never know how a child can speak life into your life. #fathering101 #tongues #interpretation #hearingHisvoice

The Genealogy of Jesus Christ

The Genealogy of Jesus Christ 

Now Jesus Himself began His ministry at about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, the son of Heli, 24 the son of Matthat,[d] the son of Levi, the son of Melchi, the son of Janna, the son of Joseph, 25 the son of Mattathiah, the son of Amos, the son of Nahum, the son of Esli, the son of Naggai, 26 the son of Maath, the son of Mattathiah, the son of Semei, the son of Joseph, the son of Judah, 27 the son of Joannas, the son of Rhesa, the son of Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, the son of Neri, 28 the son of Melchi, the son of Addi, the son of Cosam, the son of Elmodam, the son of Er, 29 the son of Jose, the son of Eliezer, the son of Jorim, the son of Matthat, the son of Levi, 30 the son of Simeon, the son of Judah, the son of Joseph, the son of Jonan, the son of Eliakim, 31 the son of Melea, the son of Menan, the son of Mattathah, the son of Nathan, the son of David, 32 the son of Jesse, the son of Obed, the son of Boaz, the son of Salmon, the son of Nahshon, 33 the son of Amminadab, the son of Ram, the son of Hezron, the son of Perez, the son of Judah, 34 the son of Jacob, the son of Isaac, the son of Abraham, the son of Terah, the son of Nahor, 35 the son of Serug, the son of Reu, the son of Peleg, the son of Eber, the son of Shelah, 36 the son of Cainan, the son of Arphaxad, the son of Shem, the son of Noah, the son of Lamech, 37 the son of Methuselah, the son of Enoch, the son of Jared, the son of Mahalalel, the son of Cainan, 38 the son of Enosh, the son of Seth, the son of ADAM, the SON OF GOD. - Luke 3:23-38 (emphasis added)

The last Adam (Jesus) was the Son of God. The first Adam, too, was the son of God.

If Adam was a son to begin with, the true intent of the Gospel is NOT about saving sinners. It is not about the wretched trying to escape the wrath of God. 

The Gospel is about RESTORING LOST SONS. The Gospel is not about going heaven and hell. The Gospel is about returning to the Father, the One who gave you the original identity.

Jesus is NOT the way to heaven. The Bible doesn't say that. Jesus is the Way TO the Father (John 14:6).

It is family. 
It is sonship. 
It is identity.

We are not trying to reach sinners. We are reaching the lost ------orphans who do not know their true Father and their true value. If we can see from that perspective, we will find Christ in everyone of them.

P.S: There are also Christians who don't know their true Father and their true value. Because they believed in a different Father from the original good, good Father.

New Earth, Heaven, Hell, Rapture & Stuff

J asked about the new earth, since he has been learning about Stars and planets.

It was a good opportunity to talk to him on the importance of sharing Christ with his friends; the new earth, rapture, heaven, hell as well as Satan.

J: Yes. I tell my friends about Jesus. But they don’t know how to pray.

J: In the new earth, will there be lions?

Papa: Yes. But the lions will not be eating people. They will be good. There won’t be any more pain. There won’t be any crying and sadness. Everyone will be happy.

J: What happens when Jesus comes back?

Papa: We will go up with Him. But only for those who believe in Him.

J: Why?

Papa: Jesus loves everyone. This is why it is very important for us to pray for people and share with them, so that they can get to know Him. Those who don’t believe will be caught by the bad guy. His name is Satan.

Papa: They will stay on the earth while we go up.

J: What will happen to the earth?

Papa: There will be fire, earthquake and many other stuff going on. Many people may die. But it is the time for them to believe in Him.

J: Will I get to see my Jie Jie and Kor Kor?

Papa: Yes you will. You will see them up there. When the new earth is set up by Jesus, we will all be there together.

A 5-year old can receive more than we think they can. Because there is Someone called the Holy Spirit. Don’t let our human mind hinder the child’s understanding. For the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
