Buy the Truth
“Buy the truth, and don’t sell it. Get wisdom, discipline, and understanding.” (Proverbs 23:23 WEB)
Nothing is more precious than revelations about Jesus who is the way, the TRUTH, and the life. He is also who Wisdom represents in the Book of Proverbs.
Godly wisdom is stored up and reserved like precious treasure for the “upright” who are God’s children.
“For Yahweh gives wisdom. Out of his mouth comes knowledge and understanding. He lays up sound wisdom for the upright. He is a shield to those who walk in integrity; that he may guard the paths of justice, and preserve the way of his saints.” (Proverbs 2:6-8 WEB)
To sell the truth means to give it away—discarding it as if there is anything else more worthy to trade it for.
When we trade revelations of Jesus away and choose to embrace ways of the world instead, we get conned into a bad deal.
Only knowing the truth can set us free. If we sell the truth, then we are left with unprofitable lies that leave us in bondage.
“Jacob boiled stew. Esau came in from the field, and he was famished. Esau said to Jacob, “Please feed me with that same red stew, for I am famished.” Therefore his name was called Edom. Jacob said, “First, sell me your birthright.” Esau said, “Behold, I am about to die. What good is the birthright to me?” Jacob said, “Swear to me first.” He swore to him. He sold his birthright to Jacob. Jacob gave Esau bread and stew of lentils. He ate and drank, rose up, and went his way. So Esau despised his birthright.” (Genesis 25:29-34 WEB)
Esau was a man who was very short-sighted. He could only see what was in front of him. He was very hungry, and there was freshly-boiled stew, so he sold his birthright for a meager bowl of stew.
The birthright was something intangible to him so it did not seem real or valuable. He was a man who walked by sight and not by faith.
When you are feeling a desperate need, do you sell the truth and buy the world’s ways?
“All these revelations about Jesus are not practical or useful. Don’t get me wrong, they are good to know, but they cannot help me fix this problem in my life.”
A statement like that is like Esau despising his birthright, saying, “Behold, I am about to die. What good is the birthright to me?”
If you treat the Gospel of Jesus Christ as precious, God will be really pleased, for that is what He considers as true treasure. He who honors Jesus, receives honor because every good thing is found in Christ.
“For to the man who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge, and joy; but to the sinner he gives travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him who pleases God. This also is vanity and a chasing after wind.” (Ecclesiastes 2:26 WEB)
Can you see that God considers wisdom, knowledge, and joy as His precious gifts and priority, whereas gathering and heaping up (material wealth) is seen as a secondary matter?
You buy the truth by seeking out revelations about Jesus Christ, and making it your priority to know Him more.
When God gives you a rhema word, act upon it. Doubt it at your own detriment. God is good and His word is true. Buy the truth and do not sell it!

the truth will set you free 在 Milton Goh Blog and Sermon Notes Facebook 的最佳解答
How God Can Bless and Multiply You
“For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he could swear by no one greater, he swore by himself, saying, “Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.” Thus, having patiently endured, he obtained the promise. For men indeed swear by a greater one, and in every dispute of theirs the oath is final for confirmation. In this way God, being determined to show more abundantly to the heirs of the promise the immutability of his counsel, interposed with an oath; that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have a strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to take hold of the hope set before us. This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and entering into that which is within the veil; where as a forerunner Jesus entered for us, having become a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.” (Hebrews 6:13-20 WEB)
God wanted Abraham to be absolutely sure that He would bless him, so He swore by Himself.
The truth that is impossible for God to lie and His sworn oath gives us a doubly confident hope of receiving His blessing as the seed of Abraham.
When tough times come, just remember that our God who cannot lie has sworn to bless and multiply you, and He is surely doing it.
Even when the world is floundering and men’s hearts are melting because of fear, we can remain stable and unshaken because Jesus is our anchor. He keeps us in shalom peace and leads us to navigate through any storm.
Right now in Heaven, Jesus our high priest is with the Father, praying for us, representing us before the Father.
Whereas the Levitical priesthood under the Law had curses upon those who disobey God’s laws, Jesus’ priesthood after the order of Melchizedek is one that only bestows blessings.
Melchizedek brought the bread and wine to Abraham, and blessed Abraham. In Christ, we are the seed of Abraham, and we can receive God‘s blessings through the same pattern.
Partaking of the Lord’s Supper is such a precious and important time of our day. As we set aside a minute in our day to proclaim the Lord’s death and what that accomplished for us, we benefit from His victory wrought at the cross.
“The cup of blessing which we bless, isn’t it a sharing of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, isn’t it a sharing of the body of Christ?” (1 Corinthians 10:16 WEB)
The apostle Paul called it “the cup of blessing”. Could it be that when we partake, we receive the fulfillment of God’s oath to bless and multiply us? I believe so.
The blood and body of Christ are full of divine life, and when we receive that, we experience close fellowship and identification with Him. This means “I am as You are.” Whatever Jesus is, you also become and have.
If you are not already making the Lord’s Supper the highlight of every day, I encourage you to prioritize this token of Jesus’ love, and see what wonderful things happen in your life!
God has given us many powerful spiritual weapons in Christ that destroy Satanic strongholds, yokes, and bondages. In “Silencing the Serpent”, you will discover how to emerge victorious in spiritual warfare, and be finally set free from cycles of defeat that have perpetuated in your life.

Break Free From Regrets
“Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect; but I press on, if it is so that I may take hold of that for which also I was taken hold of by Christ Jesus. Brothers, I don’t regard myself as yet having taken hold, but one thing I do. Forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to the things which are before, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 3:12-14 WEB)
To whoever is battling with regrets about the past, I want to encourage you with this message.
Someone once asked me seriously if he could go back to the past to change a mistake that he made. The mistake is currently causing some bad consequences in his life.
The truth is, there is no such thing as returning to the past. There are no parallel universes either—if not, will all versions of people stand before Jesus’ throne for judgment at the end of time?
The only reality is here and now. You are the only version of you—uniquely made by God. Yes, God sees the past, present, and future, but every person can only really be in one place at one time.
No matter what has happened in the past, good or bad, press on and forget the things which are behind.
Treat it like today is day one of your new life. Every day is a fresh beginning to walk with the Lord.
God is so good that He can restore you with much more/better than what you lost in the past.
The first step to healing from a trauma suffered in the past is to decide to press on and look forward from now on.
“Therefore let us also, seeing we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising its shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” (Hebrews 12:1-2 WEB)
Cast your burden of regret into the Lord Jesus’ hands—He cares for you. Turn away from the hurt and look into Jesus’ smiling face.
You cannot run freely when there is a heavy boulder strapped to your ankle. Let that regret go and experience the peace, lightness, and freedom.
“But the path of the righteous is like the dawning light, that shines more and more until the perfect day.” (Proverbs 4:18 WEB)
There is a race, we run by grace, and there are prizes to be won. God placed a high calling in you. The future is bright and glorious so keep looking forward from now on. Things will get better!
Did you know that God has a plan to prosper you in all things through His restoration? In “All Things Made New”, you will find strong encouragement and comfort based on restoration truths from the Bible, causing you to look forward to a better future: https://bit.ly/prosper-through-restoration

靜默靜默望見小島已變化
變化變化是我真心不變嗎
從前從前說過今生再會嗎
是那光陰蓋過了我的牽掛
遺憾你我都分隔到兩個空間
無幸與妳經歷最共鳴的時間
在內心的話若講出來難道太晚
他早替妳預備了最華貴婚紗
城內有妳的青春可多給我一次好嗎
城外有妳的天空可否給我一直對話
我仍然只想你過得愉快
大人世界沒有不吐不快
留住最美的一刻今天多了一束鮮花
其實我已經不差今天有份幫妳拍下
這鏡頭畫面在愛戀地帶
絕無見怪為妳記低溫馨瞬間
幸福嗎
Youth is something just like a dynamite
Youth is something like the time that is always being bright
Youth is something like the mirror that the truth will never lies
Everyone got regrets, like the memories sweat
Even though, even though I haven’t talked too much
Feeling so, feeling so heavenly in touched
Until the day I returned, you finally learned who was standing there and stared at you with all the concerns
Maybe you and me, it’s not a destiny
I’ll try to be the special one in your memories
When we’ve grown up, things can’t be madeup
It’s really hard to tell the story that is kind of round up
Things be better for you but these are not for me
Maybe I should hide up myself to set you free
But I don’t wanna save my words tomorrow till we’re sorrow
Just say it loud to you I wanna wanna be your hero
承諾過妳的東西不知不覺消失空中
原諒我已經不可親手給妳一段美夢
妳在人海中要過得愉快
未來世界與妳不見不散
沿路有我的聲音今生今世不必孤單
唯獨有妳的星空今天昨天一樣燦爛
我沒權阻止命裡的聚散
但求妳會在遠處的悲歡世間
活得慣

Wrote this song 5 years ago on an Easter Sunday. That was when I started sharing my music publicly online though I was still a pharmacy student, and I realized I really wanted to pursue my music dream. I knew this path would never be easy, so I wrote this to remind myself if I ever get lost on the way, come back to this song and remember what I'm doing this for.
5 years later, here I am, living my dreams. I moved back to Taiwan after graduation, and I've just had my first album debut. God has given me so much and blessed me with so many opportunities, but I just can't help feeling lost.
So I come back to this song.
May we all find our light and be the light.
Grateful to share this song and my music with you.
Merry early Christmas to you all. ❤️
五年前我寫了這首歌。那陣子剛好開始上傳一些我的原創音樂到網路上。雖然那時只是一個在加拿大讀藥學的學生,我卻發現我越來越想朝著音樂的夢想前進。我一直都知道這條路不容易,所以在那年的復活主日,我寫了這首歌,提醒自己為什麼而奮鬥。
五年後的今天,我是正在活出我的夢想的。
我搬回台灣,終於發了人生第一張專輯。我知道我擁有的已經很多,但我卻總是忍不住感到迷茫...
於是我回到了這首歌。
💫
願我們都能找到屬於我們的光。
也成為照亮別人的光。
提前祝大家聖誕節快樂!

"Light of the World" (世界的光)
Composed/Arranged/Produced/Performed by Ariel Tsai
詞曲/編曲/製作/演唱:蔡佩軒
Jesus You died on the cross for us
You paid the price and took our sins away
You gave Your all so freely, unreserved
You loved us more than what we could deserve
Jesus You're the way the truth the life
You showed us how to love and to forgive
You see our hearts, You know our every thought
You break the chains, and set us free again
Jesus You're the light and world to me
I lift my hands and I will sing
You're the only one for me
Jesus make me the light of the world
Let me shine for Your glory LORD
Let me love You more each day
Jesus make me the light of the world
Let me shine for Your glory LORD
Let me love You more each day
