Restoration for your Own Mistakes
Perhaps you are thinking, “Yes I know I can expect restoration when the devil attacks me or if I am persecuted. But I am suffering now because of my own mistake. Surely I cannot expect God to restore me? I will have to suffer and pay for my mistake.”
Well, the Gospel of Jesus Christ is called the good news because it is really undeserved favor. Even if you are suffering losses from your own mistakes, you can still expect to receive restoration that is better in quality and/or quantity than before.
I know it sounds too good to be true, but I am not just making that up. Look at Abraham’s story. He told his wife Sarah to lie to everyone in Gerar that she was only his sister.
He did this because Sarah had been renewed in her youth and was exceedingly beautiful. Abraham was afraid that if the people knew that she was his wife, they would kill him and take her for themselves.
After hearing that Sarah was only Abraham’s sister, the king of Gerar, Abimelech, took Sarah into his harem.
Reading this story, it is clear that Abraham is the one at fault. He lied that Sarah was only his sister, and his lies stemmed from cowardice and self-preservation, endangering Sarah’s chastity.
Yet, when God wanted to save Sarah from being violated, He threatened Abimelech and his family with death if he decided not to restore Sarah to Abraham.
“God said to him in the dream, “Yes, I know that in the integrity of your heart you have done this, and I also withheld you from sinning against me. Therefore I didn’t allow you to touch her. Now therefore, restore the man’s wife. For he is a prophet, and he will pray for you, and you will live. If you don’t restore her, know for sure that you will die, you, and all who are yours.”” (Genesis 20:6-7 WEB)
Shouldn’t it be Abraham who was threatened with death for his cowardice and lies? This is God’s Grace towards the righteous ones who are justified by faith. Even if you make a mistake, God is not punishing you for your sins—His heart is to restore you for the negative consequences of your wrong actions.
What does restore “the man’s wife” mean? Is it just to give Sarah back to Abraham? Let us examine what Abimelech did:
“Abimelech took sheep and cattle, male servants and female servants, and gave them to Abraham, and restored Sarah, his wife, to him. Abimelech said, “Behold, my land is before you. Dwell where it pleases you.” To Sarah he said, “Behold, I have given your brother a thousand pieces of silver. Behold, it is for you a covering of the eyes to all that are with you. In front of all you are vindicated.”” (Genesis 20:14-16 WEB)
Wow, instead of just giving Sarah back to Abraham, Abimelech gave sheep, cattle, servants, land and a thousand pieces of silver to Abraham. Even though Abraham was the originator of the problem, he was enriched through his mistake.
This is what God’s restoration looks like. You never just get the same thing back. It will always be better in quality and/or quantity when He restores you for your losses.
Even though Abraham made mistakes in his life, he had a great relationship with God, such that the Scriptures call him “a friend of God”. Whenever God appeared and spoke to him, he paid attention, delighting in the words and meditated on them.
An example of this would be God’s promise to him that he would have a son who was born of Sarah. Abraham never gave up on that promise, and eventually, he received the fulfillment of it.
“Blessed is the man who doesn’t walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand on the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in Yahweh’s law. On his law he meditates day and night. He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water, that produces its fruit in its season, whose leaf also does not wither. Whatever he does shall prosper.” (Psalms 1:1-3 WEB)
Although we are born-again and our spirits are righteous, holy and perfect like Jesus, we still live in this body of sinful flesh. Sometimes we get confused, thinking that the fleshly impulses and thoughts are our own. This causes us to make mistakes.
However, if you have a heart for God’s word like Abraham did, even the mistakes you unwittingly make will prosper. What you did may not be good, but God can still turn things around for your good because He is for you, not against you. Since you are righteous in Christ, you can expect to receive restoration for your losses, even if they were caused by your own mistakes!
Learn God’s plan to prosper you in all things through His restoration. If you have lost in any way, you can expect to gain much more/better back. This eBook, “All Things Made New”, may be the most comprehensive book about God’s restoration:

【我親愛的Zoom視訊客人們】
To My Dear Zoom Clients
我忍了真的⋯⋯真的⋯⋯很久,今天過後實在忍無可忍,一定要叮嚀所有過去和未來的客人們。
我年紀很大了,受不了太大的刺激。
拜託,你們可以Zoom好來嗎?😓😑
一、Zoom視訊的視角 = 拍護照照的視角
護照自2020年起就已成為古董,但大家這一生應該有拍過證件照吧!
對了,就是要頭髮整齊,讓我看到你的雙耳、雙眼、鼻子、嘴巴、頸項和肩膀,到胸部。
我批八字時,需要看整個面相。不要讓你一半的臉掉出鏡頭外,這樣很像鍾無艷,也不要嘴巴不見掉,這樣我很像在跟一條羅漢魚視訊。
我看面相包括看你的嘴巴、牙齒和說話時的嘴形。是的,看相就是需要那麼仔細。
如果你的螢幕太低,那就找書本或舊報紙,把螢幕墊高一點。別讓我整一個小時半只看到你的雙下巴,會把你的面相比例給看錯。
不要一直告訴我不好意思,方法是人想出來的。
•
二、光線
太暗,我看你如見鬼。
太亮,我會看不清你的膚色。
拉開窗簾,不要背向陽光。
有必要的話,就直接開燈!
•
三、勿放什麼椰樹沙灘/金門大橋的虛擬背景圖
什麼虛擬背景圖都不要放啦~
我的家美最重要,我不在乎你的家美不美,我只是來看命的。
如果你的Wi-Fi不是很強,電腦功能不是很厲害,這類的虛擬背景圖會讓你的視訊畫面卡卡的。
有時你轉個身,整個右邊不見了,或部份的頭髮少了,讓我覺得我好像在看恐怖片,嚇人啊~
•
四、環境和聲音
有些海外客人其實非常用心。為了與我視訊,特別去買有麥克風的耳機🎧,讓我能更清楚的聽到他們的聲音。😍
沒有使用耳機和麥克風的客人,往往他們的聲音會有種空氣般的回音,如果他們本身講話又小聲,我的耳機聲量開滿,我還是聽得滿辛苦的
也有香港和馬來西亞客人租過會議室、鐘點房間或單人工作室,就是為了不受家人的干擾,能安心的與我視訊。😍
最有趣的是,去年新加坡阻斷措施時,有位男客人跑到屋外的走廊坐在地上與我視訊。只是外頭風聲有點大,我好幾次都聽不清楚他的聲音。
曾有客人在咖啡廳與我視訊。咖啡廳裡的高談闊論聲和器皿的敲擊聲,頻頻從我的耳機闖進我的耳朵,哇~我的耳朵那時真的是活受罪,還要裝一副氣定神閒的樣子。
天啊,兩次過後,我寧願退錢,也不再見這樣的客人了。耳朵只有一對,我要保護好啊!
在這裡聲明:一般我們買手機時的那種有麥克風的耳機,就已能視訊。沒有戴耳機和麥克風的客人,我一概會拒絕諮詢,把費用原銀奉還。
五、孩子
曾試過諮詢的前20分鐘,一直被女客人的小孩打擾,進來哭著要媽媽主持公道。
如果你家中有六歲以下的兒童,會時不時來敲你的門,我建議你還是先別約我。你這樣會分心,無法聽好我交代的事,而我也得一直等你去安撫你的孩子,就無法在限定時間內看完你的八字,這樣對誰都不公平。
六、我只見客人一人
這個規矩,從我一出道就定下來,也清楚的寫在網站上,根本不用一而再的來試探水溫。
但這兩個星期,還是有客人硬闖關,事先安排自己的配偶/孩子坐在電腦的另一面,要他們聽我講他的八字。
我從不改我的規矩,也沒有八字或風水是我非看不可的。
讀書這麼高,連自己的命都不能自己負責,這已經不是能改到命的人了。
你一定要你的配偶陪你聽,那你需要的不是我來教你改命,是你的配偶來安你的心。
將來若還有這樣的事,我會直接中斷視訊,把錢退回去。
七、「我第一次用Zoom!」
可是從報名那天到今天的諮詢,你有兩個月的時間去摸索。
兩個月,怎麼還是錯誤百出?因為客人根本沒有事先準備和練習。
結果我就這樣等了20分鐘,還得等對方下載軟件。
Zoom不難使用,但如果是你沒有花時間去摸索,就不要撒謊,直接說,我就直接退現錢。
品德是改命的資糧,不要為了自己能脫身就隨便編一個漏洞百出的謊,還說自己是好人。這...不會臉皮太厚了嗎?
小事都不願做好,絕對不會成大器。
八、暈車
有些客人用Ipad或手機來視訊。
重點是,他一支手拿著手機,一支手拿筆寫筆記。他一邊寫,另一支手就一邊搖晃。他做在床上,移動一下,手機就彷彿大海嘯幾下🌊
我一天如果見三個這樣客人,我的視線就搖晃了5個小時。工作完畢後,頭也會痛得厲害,無法完成晚上製片的工作。
沒有自拍器三腳架,也應該有些書本或東西來頂著手機。
各位,多點善心,為我著想一下吧⋯⋯
__________________________
To My Dear Zoom Clients
I have been enduring it for a really really long time. That's it! I am gonna put a stop to this after today and send out this reminder to all my past and future clients.
I am getting on in years, and cannot stand too much stimulation.
Please.... can you guys do a proper Zoom?
Number 1: Going on screen in Zoom = Taking a photograph for your passport.
Since 2020, the passport has become something of an antique but I believe everyone has taken some kind of ID photos! Yes, the ones with your neatly combed trusses where I can see both your ears, nose, mouth, neck, shoulder all the way to your chest.
I would like to see your full face during the Bazi Consultation. Please don't allow half your face to fall off the screen and you end up looking like Zhong Wu Yan! Please also don't hide your mouth making me feel like I am talking to a Arrowana.
When I analyze your facial features, it includes your mouth, teeth and the shape of your mouth while you are talking. Yes, it is down to such level of details.
If your PC / Laptop monitor is too low, please find a book or old newspapers and stack it on top. Please don't let me only see your double chin for that 1.5 hours, as I would probably get the proportion of your face wrong.
Don't keep telling me you are apologetic. Think of a way out.
Number 2: The background lighting.
Too dark, you risk looking like a ghost.
Too bright, I cannot figure out your skin color.
Draw open the curtains, but don't face your back to the sunlight.
If necessary, just turn on the lights!
Number 3: Background images of coconut trees on sandy beaches or the Golden Gate Bridge.
There is no need to put on a virtual background. I only care about how my hone looks, I am not bothered by yours. I am only here to see your Bazi.
If your WIFI signal or your PC / Laptop performance is poor, using the virtual background can often make your Zoom video choppy. Sometimes when you turn your body, one side of your body or some part of your hair will disappear. It's really like one of those spooky movies scaring the wits out of me.
•
Number 4: Background environment and noise.
Some of my overseas clients really put in effort for our Zoom sessions. They bought a headset with a mic so that I can hear them properly and vice versa.
Those that did not use a earphone or a headset often sounded echo-ish, and if they spoke softly, I would have to turn on the volume on my side full throttle and still have a hard time trying to hear them.
There are some clients from Hong Kong and Malaysia who would rent meeting rooms, hotel rooms or private work spaces by the hour so as to reduce any disturbance from others and better focus on the Zoom session with me.
I recalled an interesting incident during the Circuit Breaker last year. A client from Singapore Zoom-ed with me along the corridor outside his house. Most of the time, I was hearing the howling of the winds rather than his voice.
Some clients sat themselves in coffee places for our session. These places are often filled with loud chatters and the clanging of cups and plates, and my ears suffered terribly. Yet, I have to continue to be seen as composed and attentive.
Goodness me, after 2 of such experiences, I decided that I rather refund these clients and never see them again. I have only 1 pair of ears and I want to protect them at all costs!
A normal earpiece that comes with the purchase of a handphone is good enough for Zoom video calls. For clients who do not have a earpiece/headset and a mic, I would end the consultation and refund the monies.
•
Number 5: Children
There was once where a session with a female client was repeatedly disrupted by her kids, running in crying for their mother to settle their quarrels. If you have children below 6 years of age, and likely to interrupt our session, I suggest you don't book a consultation with me.
You will be distracted, unable to focus on my advice and I have to wait for you to clear up the situation with your children, eating into the allowable time for me to complete the consultation. This is unfair to both you and me.
•
Number 6: I only meet one person, that is the Client.
I have set this requirement the day I stepped into this line of work, and it is clearly written in my booking form. There is no need to try your luck under any circumstances.
But in the space of 2 weeks, there were some clients who rode their luck and got their spouse / child to sit on the other side of the screen to listen in on our consultation.
I never change my stance, and there is no single client that I cannot afford to lose.
If you insist to have your spouse sit in, it is apparent that you do not need me to help transform your destiny. Rather you really need your spouse to put your heart at ease.
If such things happen the next time, I will end the session immediately and refund the fees.
•
Number 7: "My first time using Zoom"
But you have 2 full months to prepare before our actual consultation. You did not end up wasting time exploring the software and I wasted 20 mins waiting for you to download the software.
Zoom is an easy software to use but if you did not spend the time to familiarize yourself with it, please quit the lies and tell me directly. I will refund the consultation fees on the spot.
Our moral ethics serve as the foundation for our transformation. Stop weaving web of lies to get out of sticky situations, and still claim that you are a good person. Isn't this too thick-skinned?
•
Number 8: Giddy spells
Some clients use Ipad or their handphones for the Zoom session. Crucially, they hold the device with one hand, and take notes with the other. As they write, the other hand holding the phone becomes shaky. If he is doing that on his bed, his handphone would shake like a tsunami wave every time he changes his position.
If I see 3 such clients within a day, it would be 5 hours of shaking visuals for me. That would mean a splitting headache at the end of my work day, and not being able to work on my videos at night.
Even if you don't have a tripod stand, at least prop up the device with a book or something.
Please everyone, please be kind and have mercy on me......
the heart never lies 在 Fizo Omar Facebook 的精選貼文
My dear sweetheart,
.
In the world fulls of lies, cruel, unfair, injustice,
There is a man who has a heart of gold
Who always wear a heart upon his sleeve
A son to a wonderful woman that have made him,
A father to a little girl with unwavering eagerness exploring the world,
That little girl with her eyes is as shiny that when you look to the mirror, you see yourself.
Who has hair as curl as the instant noodle,
That girl when you see, you know she was raised well with the infinite care to become an incredible woman years later.
The little girl who had finally own his kingdom,
Where he surrendered his most precious place in his heart.
The love he never found anywhere but only by hugging her closely, she feel as safe that monsters in her dream wont scare her anymore.
The love, the moment she called him not by his name but his title "daddy"
Have already drawn a smile on his face that you can see lines on his eyes, turning his smile into laugh.
The laugh from pure happiness, endlessly, dunya akhirat.
.
Father and daughter. #cikyamdaydy

Lie to me like how you say you've never lied before. Please keep on lying and make me forget the truth, but what's the point? How can I remember the truth when l've never heard the truth before? I am more alive with your lies than when you say nothing at all. A broken heart cannot be broken again.
送給自己的出道一週年禮物⋯
其實早在三月就錄好了,只是當時發生了點意外,休養了約半年,天天惦記著什麼時候還能站上舞台表演,雖然目前還沒完全復原,但內心還是炙熱的。
希望大家會喜歡新作 ♡

the heart never lies 在 Joseph Prince Youtube 的精選貼文
This audio clip is from: Joseph Prince—As Christ Is, So Are We in This World (15 Jun 2003) @josephprince
We all have days when we feel the presence of God so strongly and intimately, and days when we can’t seem to feel Him there at all. The highs and lows of our emotions can make us question ourselves—"Have I done something wrong? Is He angry with me for not spending enough time with Him?”
Friend, don't fall for the enemy's lies that "You are what you feel." Hit play and find out how your feelings don’t determine your relationship with God. Instead, it's His truth alone that determines how close He is to you. The Bible says He will never leave you nor forsake you (see Deut. 31:6)—regardless of how you feel each day or what you have done!
Take heart today that no matter whether you feel His presence, God is close to you (see Ps. 145:18) right until the end of the world (see Matt. 28:20). Tag a friend who needs this reminder today! ??

日文歌詞 / Japanese Lyrics :
曇った窓の向こう側 今はきっと晴れてるけど
僕の心の中からは 消えやしない 笑顔
鮮やかな思い出はいつも あたたかくて
照れくさい言葉も 目を見て言えた
ただ会いたくて 声も出せずに
振り向いてみても 遠く届かない
過ぎ去ってく 夕日のように
二人歩く あの帰り道も
思ったより味気ないもんだね
この歌はきっと 空へ舞い上がる
あなたにも届くかな?
ほら まだここで色あせずに 信じてるんだ
悲しみの向こう側へ
雨上がりの街並みは 無邪気なほどきらめくけど
照らし出されたその先に こぼれ落ちた 涙
まだ誰も知らない約束 あたたかくて
間違いだとしても 捨てずにいるよ
カタチすらない 夢は消えない
叶わなくていい 願いもあるよって
繰り返し 言い聞かせて
ついた嘘も 塗りつぶせたから
心配などいらないと笑って
この声はきっと 夜空に舞い散る
あなたまで届くかな?
ねえ 今もまだそこにいると 信じてるんだ
悲しみの向こう側へ
あやふやな言葉達が いまもまだ凍えている
曖昧なあなたの笑顔が 刻むこの時を焦がす
振り向いてみても 遠く届かない
過ぎ去ってく 足早に
二人歩く あの帰り道も
思ったより味気ないもんだね
この歌はきっと 空へ舞い上がる
あなたにも届くかな?
ほら まだここで色あせずに 信じてるんだ
悲しみの向こう側へ
中文歌詞 / Chinese Lyrics :
雖然現在一定已經放晴了,卻向著結露的窗外那端望去
在我的心中,仍存著永不逝去的笑顏
腦海中鮮明憶見的無數過往,總是溫暖我心
也曾能注視著你,說出臉紅害臊的話語
現在僅是渴望能與你相遇,卻早已無法吐露任何心聲
即便再如何回首往昔,也無法望見抵至遠方的種種
漸漸遠行而去,猶如沉入地平線的夕日般
二人曾一同走過的、那段返家的路途
如今卻比回憶中還要更加平淡無味
只願這首歌能夠,高聲響徹這片遼闊雲霄
一定能傳達至遠方的你對吧?
看呀,我仍在這裡,毫無褪色地堅信著——
在這種種悲傷的另一端,等著
雨後天晴的城鎮,正天真稚氣地閃爍著光輝
陽光映照出的倒影,卻是泛出落下的點點淚滴
即便是仍未實現的承諾,也令我倍感和煦暖意
哪怕早已犯下太多過錯,也不會捨棄我而伴在身邊
即使不具形體,其所孕育出的夢想也不會就此消逝
「世上也有著不必去實現的願望。」
你在我耳邊輕聲反覆地說著
「之前騙你的承諾,就將它們全數塗抹捨棄吧,沒關係的。」
你如此笑著,對我說不用擔心
只願我的聲音能夠,在這片夜空中飛舞散落
聲音一定能夠飄落至你的身邊吧?
聽我說,我仍堅信著,你就在那等著我——
在這種種悲傷的另一端,等著
不直率的話語,現在仍難以說出口
你曾銘記我心的笑顏,此時卻逐漸朦朧不清,使得我焦灼難安
即便再如何回首往昔,也無法望見抵至遠方的種種
僅是一瞬間,你便自我眼前消失、遠行而去
二人曾共同留下影跡的、那段返家的路途
如今卻比回憶中還要更加平淡孤寂
只願這首歌能夠,高聲響徹這片遼闊雲霄
而身處遠方的你,也一定能聽見對吧?
看呀,我仍在這裡,毫無褪色地堅信著——
在這種種悲傷的另一端,等著你
英文歌詞 / English Lyrics :
The sky must be cleared after rain, yet I still look towards the other side of the dew-dropped window.
There's a smile that would never fade away deep in my heart.
The vivid memories I can recall make me warm.
I can watch you and say something that makes you shy.
I just want to meet you, yet I can't make any voice.
However I turn and look back, I just can't reach the faraway past.
Fading away, as if the setting sun.
The road back home we two once walked together,
feels more lonesome and monotonous than usual.
This song will definitely soar through this sky.
It can be conveyed to you, right?
See, I'm still here believing you without fading any color.
On the other side of sorrow, I'll wait for you.
The town after rain is naively sparkling brilliance.
The reflection of those lights is overflowing tears.
The promise nobody knows makes me warm.
Even if it's wrong, I won't throw it away.
Even it has no shape, this dream won't just fade away.
"There're dreams that don't need to be fulfilled."
You keep telling me this repeatedly.
"Just paint those lies we make up black and discard them."
You keep telling me there's nothing to worry about, smilingly.
This voice will definitely flutter down through the night sky,
It will flutter down and reach you, right?
Hey, I'm still believing that you're at that place,
on the other side of sorrow, waiting for me.
Ambiguous words are still making me frozen.
Your smile once engraved in my heart is becoming vague, making me anxious.
However I turn and look back, I just can't reach the faraway past.
Fading away at a quickened pace.
The road back home we two once walked together,
feels more lonesome and monotonous than usual.
This song will definitely soar through this sky.
It can be conveyed to you, right?
See, I'm still here believing you without fading any color.
On the other side of sorrow, I'll wait for you.
