For my Beautiful Saviour, I fight a good fight!

Jesus, Beautiful Saviour,
God of all Majesty,
Risen king,
Lamb of God,
Holy and righteous,
Blessed redeemer,
Bright morning star

All the heavens shout your praise,
All creation bow to worship You

How wonderful, how beautiful,
Name above every name, exalted high
How wonderful, how beautiful,
Jesus your name, name above every name, Jesus

I will sing forever, Jesus I love you, Jesus I love you

This is a song from Planetshaker which ministers very much to me during this period of "aloneness" at Riverlife Church.

Actually, all these while, I thought I am backsliding until my mentor Chin Nam told me that "aloneness" is not so much of backsliding if we're entering into a period of solitude and seeking God. Yes.. I have peace in me to know that I am not bakcsliding in my Christian Faith.. In fact, as a lone ranger, God spoke alot to me in quietness and some times even sudden outburst of prayer, worshipping the Lord and speaking in tongue to worship God, to praise Jesus and to pray for people whom God has placed burden in my heart.

Yes, I must agree that I enjoy such period of "aloneness" with God. :)

How wonderful, how beautiful.. Jesus has a Name which is above every name in heaven and on earth and below the earth! Hallelujah.

As we're entering the Holy Week, I'm relooking at my life.. Recently, I get to know I might have some serious problems with my liver which I am very worried. To be very honest, I am very fearful of death at this point of my life but today at Riverlife, during worship, we sang a song - To live is Christ, to die is gain. This is a verse which I thought of through this week when I'm pondering over my health condition (which has not been confirmed).

God is so good and gracious. At Riverlife today, God has sent Jill Southern to speak of faith - believing God for the impossible and so happened that today is Healing @ Holy Communion. I believe that I can trust and hang on upon the finished work of our Lord Jesus Christ at the Cross of Calvary. By His stripes, I am healed. Amen.

Especially during this Holy Week, let me not be too bothered with my health condition, it is nothing compared to the many souls not yet saved. God reminded me that many souls of His beloved are not yet saved. May the Lord, full of mercy and grace, shows grace and mercy upon His beloved people, and I believe that it is God's very nature to see that none should perish but all to come to repentence and receive for themselved the saving grace of the Lord Jesus Christ.

In this Holy Week, perhaps not only this week to remember that we're saved by gracious act of the Lord Jesus Christ, not by our works, that none should be able to boast about.

Let us remember with solemnly and meditate on the works God has done for us through our Christian faith. There is really nothing greater than God's great love for me and my family.

Truly, we may be able to say: "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the Righteous Judge will give to me on that Day, not to me only, but also to all who have loved His appearing." =)
