The Call of A Seer

While waiting for bus, J said, "See it is raining." He pointed to the sky. I looked up and saw little clouds (like a normal sunny weather) and bright sky. Man, he was speaking in a weird way again. I didn't have a second thought about what he said.

After sending him to school, I walked slowly to the nearest bus stop. There was no sign of rain or gloomy sky. All of a sudden, it started to pour like cats and dogs.

As I am writing now, I am totally drenched.

Serve me right for not taking what my son said seriously. 

Reflecting on various other incidents, I must take all the weird stuff he says seriously from now on. The call of God in his life as a seer is clear.

Sharing Testimonies

After sharing healing testimony with my son, this is what he would do if his friends were to be in pain.

Recounting Testimonies

As my son sat on the bed, I recounted today's testimonies to him. To my amazement, he listened attentively to the five healing testimonies.

Passing on to the next generation...

Rest Or Strive

Haven't been updating the entries for a while but it had been eventful with my precious son. More Father and Son's Days!

Today is our 6th wedding Anniversary. It's also the first time we brought Jeshua to celebrate with us.

When we were heading home from Gardens By The Bay, Jeshua insisted on pushing his own pram with me. As it was pretty difficult to manoeuver the heavy pram, I had to hold onto it and assist him. As the pram kept moving from side to side, it became rather tiring for me, especially when the place was crowded with people.

Suddenly, I was reminded of our relationship with God the Father. Often, He wants us to rest instead of striving and struggling. If we simply let Him do the work, it will be effortless. We will then rest and enjoy the ride with Him. But if we try to strive and do it by our own effort, we will find it tiring and eventually give up.

When we work, God let us do until we learn to rest and trust in Him. But when we rest, He works.

I decided to stop assisting Jeshua and let him struggle through by his own. He said, "Papa, later the pram hits the wall on the side." I replied, "Don't worry. I will ensure that it doesn't happen."

So whenever the pram was almost reaching the wall, I would simply pull it back. I would then let Jeshua push it by himself.

Finally, it came to a point where he decided that the struggle was enough. Yes. He gave up striving. It was then that I simply took over and pushed the pram.

I told him, "Jeshua, when you trust Papa to do it for you, you can rest fully."

Jeshua's Prophetic Gift

Just got to know from my wife.

She planned to bring J (3 yrs old) to water playground this morning. She did not say a word about it to him. When J woke up this morning, he asked, "Mama, you are bringing me to water playground?"

Is that prophetic or something?

Just 5 minutes ago, he pointed to my wife's left knee, "Mama, any pain here?" My wife nodded, "It's abit stiff." J laid hand and prayed. He then said confidently, "No more pain now."

Now this is like word of knowledge + faith. Jesus!

Healing

Last night, J was coughing badly. He even vomitted out his milk due to excessive phlegm.

We laid hand and ministered healing to him. This morning, he was healed! Praise Jesus!

There is a breakthrough in seeing my own son healed in Jesus' name!

On two other occasions, he was down with high fever on the night before. After ministering healing, he woke up the next day completely healed without medication! Jesus is so good!

Without Reasoning

Was lifting my son high on top of me while I lay on the bed. Then he said, "Papa, it's your turn. Come, sit on top of me." He expected to do the same - lifting me high on top of him. It didn't dawn on him that it was impossible. He didn't think nor reason about it. As long as his father did it, he simply wanted to do it. What amazing faith that is!

"The Son can do nothing on His own, except what He sees the Father doing."

Jesus lived a life without human reasonings. The moment He does something with human reasoning, He would have done something on His own. He saw what the Father did and simply acted on what was possible.

Precious Words

Love it when my son worships with me in the room. While worshiping, he came beside me and said, "Papa, I love Jesus."

Precious words.

Amazed By His Growth

Amazed by his growth.

While sitting on the bus with J, he said, "Papa, I want BIG car!" I replied, "You can tell Jesus about it."

He shouted in the bus, "Jesus, I want big car!"

I said, "Where is Jesus?" Then he began to do a role play all by himself. I simply sat there listening and observing him throughout the role play.

J: Jesus I want BIG car!

J: Oh Jesus is coming to the bus.

J: Jesus is sitting down now.

J: Hello Jesus!

J: Yes? (Role playing as Jesus)

J: I want BIG car!

J: Okay! (Role playing as Jesus)

J: I want a blue one and a red one for Papa.

J: Okay! (Role play)

My prayer is that Jesus has to be as real to him as the role play.

A Child CAN Comprehend

Some people told me that a toddler is unable to understand our explanations. Thus, we should use rod to correct them.

Apparently, research has shown that toddlers understand much more than what adults would imagine. They just can't articulate at their age.

My wife and I discovered that J understood many things that we told him when he was younger. Now that he is three, he begins to articulate those stuff to our amazement.

This morning, he insisted on having two small bottles of my breath spray, instead of one. After saying "No" for a couple of times, I decided to teach him contentment. At the back of my mind, I thought he wouldn't understand but it is helpful to reiterate principles until he finally gets it one day.

"J, focus on what you have. Not what you do not have. That's being contented. If you focus on what you do not have, that's being greedy. Can you focus on what you have?"

To my surprised, he replied, "Okay. I have one bottle and Papa has the other bottle."

Who says a child cannot comprehend?

Three Years Old's Syndrome

This is hilarious.

After trying hard to get Jeshua to pronounce a word correctly, I stopped and said, "In Jesus' name, I command the tongue, be loosed right now."

Jeshua replied, "In Jesus' name, tongue, don't drop on the floor."

3 years old's syndrome...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA!!!!

F&S Day Part 5

We had Father & Son's day at Pororo Park. There are many different stations, including a train ride!

Me: Jeshua, you need to eat something before we go to the playground.

Jeshua: No, I want to go now.

Me: Jeshua, you have to eat something or you will get hungry.

He ate some sweet corn.

Jeshua: Papa, you see. I can walk so fast.

Me: Why?

Jeshua: Because I ate a lot of sweet corn.

Me: ... ...

Arrival at Pororo Park

He loved the train so much that he ended up being the only one sitting on the train after many rounds.

His signature move whenever he takes a photo.

He insisted on eating on his own.

Revelation for Jeshua

Going up a challenging playground (because of its height), J was a little fearful.

J: Papa, hold my hand.

Me: No. I'm just behind you. (I want him to overcome his fear)

J: No. Papa, hold my hand.

Me: No. You won't fall because I'm behind you. You have the spirit of love, power and sound mind. You have boldness.

Jeshua finally climbed to the highest part and went down the slide.

Second round, while climbing, he said, "Jesus is in my heart. So I can do it."

Wow! #revelationforhim

Being Held

Today, I held J's hand as we walked to his school. As we were walking, we were singing, "Jesus loves me, this I know." All of a sudden, he tripped and almost fell. But as I was holding his hand, I managed to keep his feet on the ground. In that split moment, I had an encounter with the Father as two verses came to my mind.

Psalm 73:23 - Nevertheless I am continually with You; You hold me by my right hand.

Psalm 121:3 - He will not let your foot slip— He who watches over you will not slumber.

My heart was filled with His love. His tangible presence came upon me.

The Father is always with us. He is always holding our hand. This is why we will never fall nor stumble if we continue to let Him hold our hand.

But just as J doesn't always allow me to hold his hand, we are not always letting the Father hold us. He doesn't let go of His hand. We are the ones who refuse to let Him hold us. This is when we stumble and fall. When we don't turn to Him and set our face towards Him, we stop letting Him hold us.

The way to walk on solid ground without our feet stumbling is to turn to Him continually as our Refuge and Help. Divine protection is a promise on His end. Yet it is up to us to receive His promise. Let Him hold our hand continually.

P.S: This song from Hillsong came to my mind.

I'm so secure

You're here with me

You stay the same

Your love remains here in my heart

So close I believe

You're holding me now

In Your hands I belong

You'll never let me go

So close I believe 

You're holding me now

In Your hands I belong

You'll never let me go

F&S Day Part 4 - Sunday

Wifey had work today. Thus, I brought Jeshua to church before taking him for late lunch.
