“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”
Phil 4:6–7
Remove the Roof
“When he entered again into Capernaum after some days, it was heard that he was in the house. Immediately many were gathered together, so that there was no more room, not even around the door; and he spoke the word to them. Four people came, carrying a paralytic to him. When they could not come near to him for the crowd, they removed the roof where he was. When they had broken it up, they let down the mat that the paralytic was lying on. Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven you.” But there were some of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts, “Why does this man speak blasphemies like that? Who can forgive sins but God alone?” Immediately Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, said to them, “Why do you reason these things in your hearts? Which is easier, to tell the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven;’ or to say, ‘Arise, and take up your bed, and walk?’ But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—he said to the paralytic— “I tell you, arise, take up your mat, and go to your house.” He arose, and immediately took up the mat, and went out in front of them all; so that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, “We never saw anything like this!”” (Mark 2:1-12 WEB)
The Lord brought this miracle to my remembrance and wants to tell us to remove the roof in our minds.
Oftentimes when we are faced with challenges, we only see the impossibilities and limitations.
The paralytic’s four friends saw that the house was so crowded and that there was no way to enter through the front door. Instead of seeing this as an impossible situation, they thought out of the box and removed the roof.
Some of us need to remove the roof from some wrong doctrines that we have been taught in the past that are limiting our ability to receive from God now.
When the four friends lowered the paralytic down into the house, Jesus did not rebuke them or curse the paralytic for removing the roof. Instead, He saw their faith and healed the paralytic.
The religious scribes might have viewed removing the roof as an audacious and preposterous act, but Jesus only saw it as faith.
When you approach God today in prayer, don’t have this sense of fear, as if He will punish you if you say something wrong.
Just believe that He is like Jesus, seeing your faith as you ask Him for big things—even ‘impossible’ things. He loves it when you have faith to receive miraculous breakthroughs from Him!
“Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to him be the glory in the assembly and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.” (Ephesians 3:20-21 WEB)
Remove the roof in your mind that limits God or makes Him appear stingy and reluctant to help you.
God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, which means that no matter how big your prayer requests (demands) are, His supply will be much more than you expect.
If He is going to keep exceeding your expectations, then set your sights high. He loves it when you have a good opinion of Him—and that is faith!
In my book “Messiah’s Miracles: The Power of Having Faith in Jesus Christ”, explore the 37 recorded miracles of Jesus Christ with me and see God’s beautiful heart of love and Grace towards you. The revelations within about the way of faith will cause you to even receive long-awaited miraculous breakthroughs in your life: https://bit.ly/messiahs-miracles
In the ongoing fight against COVID-19, teachers have adapted their ways of teaching to engage students both online and offline. Many teachers are parents themselves, and also have to cope with caring for children and family members during the pandemic. Yet they have stayed focused on the welfare of their students, and given them encouragement and guidance.
We owe teachers immense thanks for staying resilient and providing steadfast support to their students during this unsettling time, in the classroom and beyond. You can read stories from students and parents on how teachers have nurtured the hearts and minds of our youth today, or pen your own message of thanks at https://ThankYouCher.edu.sg.
I hope that teachers, students and parents will use these September school holidays to recharge for the next term. Happy Teachers’ Day to all our wonderful teachers! – LHL

With travel temporarily halted, we decided to explore the hidden gems within Singapore. Join us as we explore Thomson Nature Park, the 50-hectare buffer park unique for its rich cultural heritage as the site of a former Hainan Village. Thomson Nature Park is also home to a rich array of biodiversity and is notably a key conservation site for the critically endangered Raffles’ Banded Langur.
There are five trails within this park: Ruins and Figs Trail (1.50km), Streams and Ferns Trail (1.40km), Rambutan Trail (0.40km), Langur Trail (0.35km), and Macaque Trail (0.15km). Although we weren't fortunate enough to spot the elusive Raffles' Banded Langur on our multiple trips here, we did manage to catch wild boars and plenty of cheeky macaques.
May our videos be a form of escapism and source of zen for you, and encourage you to appreciate the little, simple things in life. Even in these turbulent times, there is still much beauty in this world if we keep our hearts and minds open.
Cheers!

When we read about Beyond Expeditions' Back-to-Basics: Woodcraft & Bushcraft Experience, we knew we had to sign ourselves up!
The day started with a short boat ride to Pulau Ubin, an island off eastern Singapore, where we spent a rejuvenating day away from civilisation. We picked up basic bushcraft (wilderness survival skills) from the super knowledgeable Scott, took turns to saw and chop fallen firewood, learnt some woodcraft from the talented Frederick, and made ourselves a scrumptious aglio olio lunch over open fire.
What a day it was, and what a workout too! We had such a good time we frankly didn't even stop to check our phone once.
A big thank you to Beyond Expeditions for the hospitality, and Seek Sophie for organising this experience.
Wanna try your hand at Bushcraft & Woodcraft too?

With travel temporarily halted, we decided to explore the hidden gems within Singapore. Join us as we explore the local nature attractions nestled within the Southern Ridges, avoiding the hustle and bustle of the concrete jungle that is metropolitan Singapore.
Our hike begins at the break of dawn at Henderson Waves, an award-winning architectural work of art designed by RSP Architects Planners & Engineers (Pte) Ltd and IJP Corporation Ltd, UK. The tallest pedestrian bridge in Singapore, Henderson Waves stands 36 meters above Henderson Road and spans a length of 274 meters. Next, we venture to the peak of Mount Faber Park and look out to stunning views of Singapore's heartlands. Then, we explore the myriad of pink bougainvillea flowers at Terrace Garden, a popular spot in Telok Blangah Hill Park. Finally, we end the day at Forest Walk and its incredible secondary forest.
May our videos be a form of escapism and source of zen for you, and encourage you to appreciate the little, simple things in life. Even in these turbulent times, there is still much beauty in this world if we keep our hearts and minds open.
Cheers!
