online church (CIty Harvest Church, Singapore)


Well its been quite sometime that I can't attend church on sunday as my uni is quite far from city so I have been attending an online webcast church service of City Harvest Church.
Its a lively and loving church that was been expanding all over.
you can watch it at http://www.cityharvest.tv/engdefault.htm for english service.

And today pastor Kong's message was the among the best I had listened about cancelling debt.
just repeat these phrases "My God is a debt cancelling God."

he outlined 5 steps to cancel debt that everyone should follow:
1. Keep good records
2. Plan spending
3. Reduce your debt rapidly
4. Pay my thies faithfully to God
5. Give my best offering to God

Some reading is through:
1. 2kings 6 - about an axe head floats. the people borrowed the axe and they had a hard time as they can't afford to repay it. God intervened and saved them through his miracle.
2. Nehemiah 5:3 - Nehemiah was angry with debts that he ask for the debts of the Jews to be cancalled once and for all.
3. Nehemiah 13:10-12 -Nehemiah stressed on how important to pay thies (full thies of 10%)
4. Malachi 3:10 -the 5 benefits of giving thies and offerings:
a. church will be a blessing to all
b. Heaven will be open
c. Devourers will be rebuked away.
d. Hard work will bear fruits.
e. spirit- led investments will prosper.
5. 2kings 4 - spirit led intervention in investment will prosper beyond what you can ever imagined

a. Well I agree with his attitude of keeping good records of all he own, owe and spend as a way to keep update on inventories of his money flow.
b. a budget for everything we do coz "If you fail to plan, you plan to fail."
c. increase asset holdings that will increase in value over the time such as house and other investments.
d. the greatest prison is our 2 ears and mind as satan can easily imprison our mind in debt and sins if we keep a very low mindedness.
e. there is a family budget template for everyone to download and start planning ur spending as we face the toughest time after the great depression of 1929s in US. http://www.chc.org.sg/eng/downloads/downloads.php

well good luck to everyone. Its time for us to break and overcome the mammon a God of Debt in Syrian history. and the satan's next plot to enslave us and lead us to defy God's calling for us to do mission or spare time to spread his words.

And I like the simple way he explain and differentiate between Loan and debt

Loan is a money borrowed that is serviceable such as credit card use for food and others where will pay immediately.
And Loan is use to buy things that will gain in value over the time such as property asset or other investments.

Whereas Debt is money borrowed that is not serviceable or we can't afford to pay such as credit card or overdraft to pay for vacations, shopping for furniture and electronic gadgets such as laptops, Tvs and others.
Simply put, Debt is a money borrowed to buy things that will depreciated in value over the time such as cars, luxury watch, vacations....


So take pastor Kong's word and start practice a solid financing of your money and be in control of your money before it become uncontrollable and you end up as a bankrupt.

Well, I really felt touched to hear the testimony by the couple who became bankrupt and have no money to even have three meals a day and how their son share their parents burden by not eating breakfast but to share a meal of dinner with his parent because that is all they could afford. And how they grow in faith and gave all they have and six years later, they are back on track. The husband's business is earning 50k in two months and with another 40k of contracts to do. and he is flying his own personal corporate jet as he works with Indonesia's richest man. and handling his own business at night. Both husband and wife are cleared from bankruptcies now.

Well, the story about pastor Kong and his wife who gave all their salary to a missionary as God touched their hearts whether they will rely on God for all they have as they are owing 40k and that salary is all they needed to service the loan and pay for their monthly spending.
Six month later money came pouring in and he can settle all his debt and be free.

Lets not look at the success but the trial period they face. Are we willing to let go everything and depend solely on God?
Not that u sit there doing nothing but to trust in God that he will help us clear all our debt and be freed of all this.
Start by giving thies not as a duty but a delight and be more involved in our cell activities and try to reach out and help others.
Have a peaceful and spiritual sunday everyone.... and may God bless everyone.

US Presidential Election

Well, I have been following the US Presidential Election online for quite sometime already

My first choice for the early primaries is Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Well I like her because I actually supports the Clinton name. I mean it is during those times that America really was booming. Now that America is near recession, I think there is no one else more suitable to be President than her

Well the first time I read about her was about how brave she is to face the Bill Clinton and Lewensky controversies where her husband had an affair with the intern.
It must have been the most embarrassing moment in her life that she has to talk in news conference where she will continue to support her man no matter what. That is a true loyal wife till death do us apart kinda person and nothing more a great man like President Clinton could ever have. She stood by her man through all that trial. Could you imagine what it feels like to tell everyone that u are not sexually attractive enough for your man. Its like a rose that gone bad.... and being trampled on...

The second reason why I prefer her is through her records of years in senate. She was a tough nut to crack. She had her own values that she held on tight to. And it is definitely tough to fight in the senate in an all man's game arena. She must have been strong and tough man.
And I feel that she is more closer to the blue collar group through her stance in helping to lower the fuel price and increase renewable energy like nuclear. She is really a serious senator who is working around the clock.

Though many do not agree with her voting for the War, but I understand her situation at that time. She is a senator from NY where the World trade center was bombarded. At that point she only have an option of whether to launch the war against terrorism in order to ensure the security of US in the future or vote not to attack and sent the message to the terrorist that US will not retaliate their attack which could be very dangerous coz it will make the enemy more brave to launch more attack in US soil. So people should really thank her for her vote. If not there could have been more attack.


Actually she is more likely to win the presidential race as she has won more swing state than Obama. She won Texas, Ohio, Florida, Missouri, NY, and many others which are really battle ground state. And most of her supporter are the Democrat loyalist. which is important than the new voter that obama manages to get. Those voter of Obama are kinda sentimental voter. They may not support Democrats in the future.
She won Texas and Ohio although Obama outspend her in campaign. It shows that people really prefer the Clinton ticket that has created 23 million job during President Clinton's time.

Plus her win would be a win for all women out there that there is nothing that women can't do.

I prefer her sincere kinda style compared to Obama's which are kinda good as he's a good orator, but his record prove him otherwise. We can't have a President who can't decide in many big issue in the senate or in his own state of Illinois. Plus his win of the the primaries are centered in those small states that will not count much in the Presidential election.

Now I'm for Mc Cain and Palin ticket....
Coz I can't sense that Mc Cain is really about service for the country first kinda guy. And he is a maverick that is always voting for what he feels is right rather than tagging along the party line. This person is sincere to serve the people and not for the bling bling kinda attention Obama is getting.

Plus he's first debate with Obama shows that he is of President material than Obama. He knows how the system runs and he knows how to take it down. I like his idea of cutting the tax coz if US is not competitive enough for companies to operate, people will lose their job. He is more economically sound than Obama. He has brought a few senator down for misuse and others which is to show that he is a man who would do what he thinks is right for US no matter what everyone else says.

His proposal is better than Obama's one which is driving job out at high taxes and try to create new job. That way people may lose both way if not enough new job is created to replace those that were shifting to overseas.

Plus Obama's voting record shows that he is an indecisive person. He voted not to vote in most laws. US gonna be like a country that is deaf and dumb to the world coz he's stand there being beaten by others and still decide that he will not do anything. That is really a jack ass. Its like having a senile man wondering what is happening when he is being attacked.


Ohya by the way, he's already shown his senile side when he said Mc Cain is right for eight times in the first debate which is to show that he will be a good poodle to others in international scene when negotiating deals where he will say that Putin is right, Angela is right, Taro Aso is right, Wen Jia Bao is right, and maybe Ahmad is right.
Are Americans ready for a long roller coaster ride when Obama is President. U better think again. Obama is gonna make US a laughing stalk to others coz he's gonna give into everyone coz he has no stand in anything. Even if he has, those are his advisers stand. Not his. He has no principle to guide him if another attack on US soil occur.
He'll say, no we will not retaliate.
When jobs got shifted overseas, he'll say we'll raise tax up to increase more revenue.
And all the companies will immediately shift outside of US.
Prepare for a gloomy days ahead.
China will definitely be superpower by the end of President Obama rule coz all the job will be in China and he will say,
yes China is right about that.
that is definitely the change American can't wait to have if President Obama is elected.

V for Vendeta

Well I just watch the movie V for Vendeta last nite coz its so damn boring rite now durin the raya hols.
Well, for once I would think that the guys must be some psycho lunatic person to plan such things as blowing up the symbol of UK's government...

After watching it, I think I kinda like the guy for his fight
I mean realistically, we need a guy like that to bring down our government, though I dun agree with his terrorist style. But he definitely is similar to someone we all know our Prime Minister in waiting, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

First , they both set a date to bring down the government.
V set it on Nov 5 to bring down the gov in a year....
well DSAI set Sep 16 to bring down the Malaysian gov

Second, both fighting for a good cause to bring back democracy and justice to the people
V fought against the Chancellor who was crazy enough to release air borne virus in the St Mary school where it killed 80 k people.
DSAI fought against the gov who misuse ISA, Sedition Act, Murder (mongolian), Sex (His allege Sodomy case) and against communal or Racial politics.

3rd Both men have been tortured and suffered under the cruel gov
V was an experimental guinea pig which ruined his life
DSAI was a imprison for 6 years and set up by the government for a crime he did not commit

4th both uses people power to topple the governement
V managed to mustered the courage of all Londoners to wear his mask and stage protest
DSIA managed to staged quite a number of rally and protest but the gov still do not want to give in

5th Both men are optimistic
V managed to topple the gov a lone albeit facing the toughest challenge
DSIA is optimistic that he has enough number of MP to form the new fed gov

6th both men took ten years to plan their comeback
V cleared the underground train tunnel to the parliament to plan for the bombing
DSIA was imprison 6 years and managed to stage a comeback this year after tens age when he was first imprison. He won the Permatang Pauh election with more majority albeit millions of taxpayer money used by gov to campaign against him. (By the way the millions spend on banner by gov was made in thai or china and the leaflets too. Plus paying for all the UMNO people staying in five star or lower star hotel and food in Penang)

Well just to conclude, are we willing to wait for the next Sep 16 for DSIA to overthrown the GOV?
According to V it is this moment of fighting against constant repression by the current gov that people feel that sth is very wrong with this country.
1. ISA can be used to capture any one.
2.Election is filled with unjust and corrupted practices esp in swk and sabah. the gov party give RM50 to RM100 to those in rural area to vote for them. but they can't fool folks in City area like Bandar Kch and KK. (DAP stronghold)
3. NEP is abused to prosper the cronies of UMNO. ie AP, scholarships, bank loans, cheaper housing, contracts and others....
4. The gov parties like UMNO, MCA ans MIC always use racial slurs to gain vote. People are sick with it. Democracy is about different group of people fighting for different course such as Republican vs Democrats (US), Socialist vs Liberal, AND NOT suppose to be Malay vs Chinese vs Indian (in Malaysia) what a stupid idea. Breeding a racist gov

Its time for you to decide... Do You think that our country is heading in the wrong direction?

And if u agree that we are, are you ready to battle it out in the street when DSIA stage a coup to overthrown the gov?
We may not be wearing the mask that V sent out to everyone though....
This one year time is gonna be a long wait....
But each day give us hope that that day is coming soon and when it comes it will overwhelm us and swallow us alive like tsunami and vomit out a new country with people united as one Malaysian....

No way, No more, No racial politics (UMNO, MCA and MIC)(Hillary Clinton will proclaim)
