Allowed for Good Reason
“As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring to pass, as it is today, to save many people alive.” (Genesis 50:20 WEB)
Sometimes when something bad is allowed to happen to you, even after you prayed in faith, trust that God allowed it for a good reason.
Your enemies may have intended evil towards you, but God permitted you to be placed exactly in this situation to bring about some form of good!
What you thought was for your harm, will actually turn out to be for your protection and promotion.
The harder the enemy tries to topple you, the more he ushers you towards possessing your inheritance in the promised land. This is divine irony, and it is hilariously wonderful for us!
Potiphar’s wife thought that she had set Joseph up to suffer, but it was actually God who allowed this to happen, so that Joseph could meet the chief butler at the right time. It was an awesome divine set up.
If you have read the story before, Joseph interpreted the chief butler’s prophetic dream, and this opened a way for him to meet Pharaoh in the palace, to interpret the king of Egypt’s dreams.
Without being sold into slavery and thrown into prison, Joseph would have never had developed the humility and faith needed to do his job well as the second-in-command of Egypt.
Without being in the prison at that time, Joseph would have never ended up in the palace. All the events in Joseph’s life, both good and bad, worked together for good.
There is a reason for every season of life. Treasure all the precious lessons you can because things are usually not as they initially seem.
Then what happens to your enemies who try to harm you? Haman built a gallows, hoping to get Mordecai hung on it. In the end, through the invisible hand of God’s intervention, Haman ended up being the one hung on the gallows. The enemy’s plans backfired on himself.
“Whoever digs a pit shall fall into it. Whoever rolls a stone, it will come back on him.” (Proverbs 26:27 WEB)
You have been predestined by God for greatness, and prepared so that you would enjoy great glory, rewards, and honor in the Messianic kingdom during the Millennium.
God works by times and seasons. At this time, people around you may even look down on you, but God sees you winning soon.
Prayerfully consider your situation now. Ask God to reveal anything He wants you to know for the next few steps you will take. He can lead you to the right place at the right time.

A Scene of Heavenly Glory
“For you have not come to a mountain that might be touched, and that burned with fire, and to blackness, darkness, storm, the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which those who heard it begged that not one more word should be spoken to them, for they could not stand that which was commanded, “If even an animal touches the mountain, it shall be stoned”; and so fearful was the appearance that Moses said, “I am terrified and trembling.” But you have come to Mount Zion, and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable multitudes of angels, to the festal gathering and assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect, to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better than that of Abel.” (Hebrews 12:18-24 WEB)
Imagine the passage above as a scene in a movie. The person who wrote the epistle to the Hebrews described it most beautifully.
Picture this with me: a mountain on earth burning with fire, shrouded in blackness and darkness, with lightning streaking and thunder booming all around. This is Mount Sinai when the Old Covenant of the Law was given. A trumpet blast sounds and the voice of God gives a severe warning with a threat of death as two stone tablets of the Ten Commandments appears, floating in front of the screen.
Suddenly, the tablets are snatched away as if by a strong magnetic force and balanced upon Jesus’ hands right before the nails are driven into His hands. As the Roman soldiers hammer the nails down, the stone tablets are also attached to Jesus’ hands at the cross, crucified with Him.
Then, the camera pans upwards, zooming past the clouds. You see Mount Zion, the mountain of God in the distance, and the heavenly Jerusalem sitting upon it, radiating gloriously like a priceless jewel. Reaching a huge pearl gate of the city, the gate rolls aside, and myriads of angels fly across like a flocks of migrating birds, singing beautiful songs.
You see the river of the water of life dividing the city into half, with trees of life on its left and right.
The camera follows the river that proceeds from God’s throne, into His sanctuary at the highest point of the city, and you see the Father seated as judge over all, and standing on His right hand is Jesus smiling and His arms outstretched to welcome you with a loving embrace.
The scene ends with a close up on the ark of the covenant in the sanctuary that has the blood of Christ sprinkled upon the mercy seat, and the camera zooms into just one drop of His blood crying out for your blessing, redemption, forgiveness, favor, healing, restoration, and all good things as the credits roll.
Can someone please turn this video idea into reality? I would if I had the skills and funding to do so!
The Bible contains the geographical layout of Heaven, and hints about what we can expect to see in eternity. In my eBook “A Tour of Heaven and Eternity”, you can join me on this discovery journey to see what awaits us beyond this lifetime: https://bit.ly/heavenandeternity

No Forbidden Zones in Reading (Lee Yee)
German philosopher Hegel said, “The only thing we learn from history is that we learn nothing from history.”
In April 1979, the post-Cultural Revolution era of China, the first article of the first issue of Beijing-based literary magazine, Dushu [meaning “Reading” in Chinese]," shook up the Chinese literary world. The article, titled “No Forbidden Zones in Reading”, was penned by Li Honglin. At the time, the CCP had not yet emerged from the darkness of the Cultural Revolution. What was it like in the Cultural Revolution? Except for masterpieces by Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin and Mao, and a small fraction of practical books, all books were banned, and all libraries were closed. The Cultural Revolution ended in 1976, and 2 years later in 1978, the National Publishing Bureau decided to allow 35 books to be “unbanned”. An interlude: When the ban was first lifted, there was no paper on which to print the books because the person with authority over paper was Wang Dongxing, a long-term personal security of Mao’s, who would only give authorization to print Mao. The access to use paper to print books other than Mao was a procedural issue. The Cultural Revolution was already on its way to be overturned. The door to printing these books was opened only after several hang-ups.
“No Forbidden Zones in Reading” in the first issue of Dushu raised a question of common sense: Do citizens have the freedom to read? “We have not enacted laws that restrict people’s freedom of reading. Instead, our Constitution stipulates that people have the freedom of speech and publication, as well as the freedom to engage in cultural activities. Reading ought to be a cultural activity,” argued Li. It was not even about the freedom of speech, but simply reading. Yet this common sense would appear as a subversion of the paralyzing rigid ideas formulated during the Cultural Revolution, like a tossed stone that raises a thousand ripples. Dushu’s editorial department received a large number of objections: first, that there would be no gatekeeper and mentally immature minors would be influenced by trashy literature; second, that with the opening of the Pandora box, feudalism, capitalism and revisionism would now occupy our cultural stage. The article also aroused waves of debates within the CCP. Hu Yaobang, then Minister of Central Propaganda, transferred and appointed Li Honglin as the Deputy Director of the Theory Bureau in his department. A colleague asked him directly, “Can primary school students read Jin Pin Mei [also known in English as The Plum in the Golden Vase, a Chinese novel of manners composed in late Ming dynasty with explicit depiction of sexuality]?”
“All Four Doors of the Library Should be Open” was published in the second issue of Dushu, as an extension to “No Forbidden Zones in Reading”. The author was Fan Yuming, but was really Zeng Yansiu, president of the People’s Publishing House.
In the old days, there was a shorthand for the three Chinese characters for “library”: “book” within a “mouth”. The four sides of the book are all wide open, meaning that all the shackles of the banned books are released. “No Forbidden Zones in Reading” explains this on a theoretical level: the people have the freedom to read; “All Four Doors of the Library Should be Open” states that other than special collection books, all other books should be available for the public to loan.
The controversy caused by “No Forbidden Zones in Reading” lasted 2 years, and in April 1981, at the second anniversary of Dushu, Director of the Publishing Bureau, Chen Hanbo, penned an article that reiterated that there are “No Forbidden Zones in Reading”, and that was targeting an “unprecedented ban on books that did happen”.
Books are records of human wisdom, including strange, boring, vulgar thoughts, which are all valuable as long as they remain. After Emperor Qin Shihuang burned the books, he buried the scholars. In history, the ban on books and literary crimes have never ceased.
Engraved on the entrance to Dachau concentration camp in Germany, a famous poem cautions: When a regime begins to burn books, if it is not stopped, they will turn to burn people; when a regime begins to silent words, if it is not stopped, they will turn to silent the person. At the exit, a famous admonishment: When the world forgets these things, they will continue to happen.
Heine, a German poet of the 19th century, came up with “burning books and burning people”. There was a line before this: This is just foreplay.
Yes, all burning and banning of books are just foreplay. Next comes the literary crimes, and then “burning people”.
I started working at a publishing house with a high school degree at 18, and lived my entire life in a pile of books. 42 years ago, when I read “No Forbidden Zones in Reading” in Dushu, I thought that banned books were a thing of the past. Half a century since and here we are, encountering the exact same thing in the freest zone for reading in the past century in the place which enlightened Sun Yat-sen and the rest of modern intellectuals, a place called Hong Kong.
Oh, Hegel’s words are the most genuine.

*今日章節;Daily Chapter:
「因為你們怎樣論斷人,也必怎樣被論斷;你們用甚麼量器量給人,也必用甚麼量器量給你們。 不要把聖物給狗,也不要把你們的珍珠丟在豬前,恐怕牠踐踏了珍珠,轉過來咬你們。」 「你們祈求,就給你們;尋找,就尋見;叩門,就給你們開門。 因為凡祈求的,就得着;尋找的,就尋見;叩門的,就給他開門。 你們中間誰有兒子求餅,反給他石頭呢? 你們雖然不好,尚且知道拿好東西給兒女,何況你們在天上的父,豈不更把好東西給求他的人嗎? 所以,無論何事,你們願意人怎樣待你們,你們也要怎樣待人,因為這就是律法和先知的道理。」 「你們要進窄門。因為引到滅亡,那門是寬的,路是大的,進去的人也多; 引到永生,那門是窄的,路是小的,找着的人也少。」 好樹不能結壞果子;壞樹不能結好果子。 凡不結好果子的樹就砍下來,丟在火裏。 當那日必有許多人對我說:『主啊,主啊,我們不是奉你的名傳道,奉你的名趕鬼,奉你的名行許多異能嗎?』 我就明明地告訴他們說:『我從來不認識你們,你們這些作惡的人,離開我去吧!』」 耶穌講完了這些話,眾人都希奇他的教訓; 因為他教訓他們,正像有權柄的人,不像他們的文士。」
馬太福音 7:2, 6-9, 11-14, 18-19, 22-23, 28-29 CUNP-神
「Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured unto you. Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast your pearls before the swine, lest haply they trample them under their feet, and turn and rend you. Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: for every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. Or what man is there of you, who, if his son shall ask him for a loaf, will give him a stone; or if he shall ask for a fish, will give him a serpent? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father who is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? All things therefore whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, even so do ye also unto them: for this is the law and the prophets. Enter ye in by the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many are they that enter in thereby. For narrow is the gate, and straitened the way, that leadeth unto life, and few are they that find it. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Therefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy by thy name, and by thy name cast out demons, and by thy name do many mighty works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these words, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching: for he taught them as one having authority, and not as their scribes.」
Matthew 7:1-2, 6-14, 18-20, 22-23, 28-29 ASV

lyrics:
Tell me if things were the same,
Are we anymore different anyway
Is it too late if the flame is too strong
Its burning me off
I can’t contain
I know,
You’ve been collecting all your tears.
Kept away of all your fears,
Turn away when I came around.
To be reckless and in love
To be vulnerable and get hurt
Some day you’ll learn to love
But never in return
Holding on to that heartache
What is more to say than suffering
Somethings are learnt in pain
Never in between
Woah
Never in between
Who should be left in the games
I’m losing my mind right before your hands
Is it too cruel to be left all alone
To be running in circles on your own
I know
You’ve count all your sleepless nights
Stood up for weary fights
Still hoping that I’d come around
To be reckless and in love
To be vulnerable and get hurt
Some day you’ll learn to love
But never in return
Holding on to that heartache
What is more to say than suffering
Somethings are learnt in pain
Never in between
Woah oh
Never in between
Woah oh
All those time that I was clueless
Staying friends when I played pretend
But now I think that I regret this
We stayed friends when I had the chance
