Today in Sabah and Sarawak continue their holiday with Good Friday, but how many of us in KL or Semenanjung really take the time to reflect upon Jesus, our Good Shepherd who die on the cross this very day…

Today was known through out the world as Good Friday eventhough the event that happen to Jesus was terrible. To see the Son of God, sinless yet die for all mens’ sin. It is Good Friday because:

Jesus is the Good Shepherd, He takes care of our needs (Palms 23)

Jesus is a Good Friend who lay down His life for us (John 10)

Jesus is a Good Son, He faithfully carried out the Father’s plan

All that happen today two thousand years ago was Good in God’s plan for the salvation of many.

Take some time to remember today, how He has suffer for us, and how indebted we are to the grace of God.

May we be faithful like Jesus to the very end…

Sometimes we ask ourselves the following questions:
- what did I do to deserve this?
- why does God let these things happen to me?

Below is a story that answers the above :
A daughter tells her mother how everything is going wrong in her life. She probably failed her Calculus exam, her grandfather passed away and her boyfriend left her.

In times so sad, the mother hugged her daugther and walked her to the kitchen, while her daughter attempted to smile.

Scripture Reference : Luke 5:1-11 (NLT)

Luke 5:1- One day as Jesus was preaching on the shore of the Sea of Galilee, great crowds pressed in on Him to listen to the word of God.

Luke 5:2 He noticed two empty boats at the water’s edge, for the fishermen had left them and were washing their nets.

Two empty boats at water’s edge - Two empty vessels that the Lord knew could be used for His purpose. He saw potential in these two vessels. The Lord also knew the potential of the fishermen and their nets.

For the fishermen had left them and were washing their nets- The fishermen had left the boats and were washing the nets. If they left the boat, they were probably at the edge of the sea, I am picturing about waist high. They were out just deep enough to clean the dirty nets. After all, how could the nets be utilized properly, if they were so filled with seaweed, etc. They needed to get rid of all the filth that would weigh the net down. They needed to get rid of the filth, to make room for the bounty. They were getting prepared for their next fishing excursion. They were probably frustrated and disappointed due to the fact the night before they were out all night and didn’t catch even one fish.

Luke 5:3 Stepping into one of the boats, Jesus asked Simon, its owner, to push it out into the water. So He sat in the boat and taught the crowds from there. Continue reading Fishers Of Men…

Hopefully everyone of you will go back and vote as well. It’s time to change!

Have you ever wonder why residents in countries that have Petrol get richer and our citizen get poorer? So strange right?

Can you imagine government used 300thousands to build a jail room in Sarawak?

For those of you know chinese, watch this great debate of 2 parties!

Be wise and vote right!

God bless!

P/s: I don’t like “Blue”, it makes our country blue.

Hello God, I called tonight
To talk a little while
I need a friend who’ll listen
To my anxiety and trial.

You see, I can’t quite make it
Through a day just on my own…
I need your love to guide me,
So I’ll never feel alone.

I want to ask you please to keep,
My family safe and sound.
Come and fill their lives with confidence
For whatever fate they’re bound.
