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

Remember God After You Have Prospered
“You shall observe to do all the commandments which I command you today, that you may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which Yahweh swore to your fathers. You shall remember all the way which Yahweh your God has led you these forty years in the wilderness, that he might humble you, to prove you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep his commandments, or not. He humbled you, and allowed you to be hungry, and fed you with manna, which you didn’t know, neither did your fathers know; that he might teach you that man does not live by bread only, but man lives by every word that proceeds out of Yahweh’s mouth. Your clothing didn’t grow old on you, neither did your foot swell, these forty years. You shall consider in your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so Yahweh your God disciplines you. You shall keep the commandments of Yahweh your God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him. For Yahweh your God brings you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of springs, and underground water flowing into valleys and hills; a land of wheat and barley, and vines and fig trees and pomegranates; a land of olive trees and honey; a land in which you shall eat bread without scarceness, you shall not lack anything in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills you may dig copper. You shall eat and be full, and you shall bless Yahweh your God for the good land which he has given you. Beware lest you forget Yahweh your God, in not keeping his commandments, and his ordinances, and his statutes, which I command you today; lest, when you have eaten and are full, and have built fine houses, and lived in them; and when your herds and your flocks multiply, and your silver and your gold is multiplied, and all that you have is multiplied; then your heart might be lifted up, and you forget Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage; who led you through the great and terrible wilderness, with venomous snakes and scorpions, and thirsty ground where there was no water; who poured water for you out of the rock of flint; who fed you in the wilderness with manna, which your fathers didn’t know; that he might humble you, and that he might prove you, to do you good at your latter end: and lest you say in your heart, “My power and the might of my hand has gotten me this wealth.” But you shall remember Yahweh your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth; that he may establish his covenant which he swore to your fathers, as it is today.” (Deuteronomy 8:1-18 WEB)
The Lord gave me a word “scorpions” which led me to this passage.
I sense that a lot of us here have been through a long wilderness journey where we have been asking God “How long more,” and we are already close to entering our promised land.
As we are about to enjoy His marvelous restoration and multiplication of provision in our lives, in whatever way He has been leading you, REMEMBER HIM when you go into the land flowing with milk and honey.
Don’t forget all the precious lessons about humility and faith that you learned while in the dry wilderness.
Money can be destructive because the sinful flesh is tempted to make money its idol.
Keep your eyes on Jesus…
There is a reason why things take time. The preparation phase is needed so that you would be able to handle the sudden multiplication.
Despite all the tough times, God has always been faithful to you, and you are still alive. Give thanks to Him!
Under the New Covenant of Grace, to keep God’s commandments means to believe in Jesus Christ and to love one another as Christ has loved us. Will you allow yourself to continue being led by the Spirit to walk in love, even after you have prospered?
I say again, REMEMBER HIM. Okay, now go and possess your promised land. The Lord shall go before you, and you will approach it one step at a time with each passing day!

Be like a cactus!
I saw an inward picture of a cactus, standing strong in a desert.
Did you know that a cactus is able to have normal leaves, but they adapt with spines (modified leaves) in the desert to minimize water loss?
It also performs transpiration at night to reduce water loss.
Cacti are classified as “succulents” because they have thickened, fleshy parts to store more water.
Cacti have an extensive root system that don’t go very deep into the ground because most of the groundwater is on the upper layers due to rain. There are hardly any underground stores of water in the desert.
In a hot desert, most plants cannot survive the harsh, dry climate, but a cactus is able to survive and thrive.
It is adaptable, absorbent, attractive (can produce flowers), and able-bodied (the spines fend off predators). Truly an amazing plant that can live where most creatures cannot.
If we look at the cactus as ourselves, water as the water of God’s word, and the hot desert as this world, then we will understand this faith picture that God has for us.
God wants us to store up water and retain it efficiently just like a cactus. A cactus is designed to maximize water gain and minimize water loss.
In this world that prides itself on its own knowledge, rejecting the kingship of God, we must be like a cactus that finds every opportunity to receive God’s word.
You can retain it better when you meditate on His word. Keep it in your heart, and think about it often. This way, you will take in more, and lose less of it.
“They came with haste, and found both Mary and Joseph, and the baby was lying in the feeding trough. When they saw it, they publicized widely the saying which was spoken to them about this child. All who heard it wondered at the things which were spoken to them by the shepherds. But Mary kept all these sayings, pondering them in her heart.” (Luke 2:16-19 WEB)
Mary did exactly this. When others heard the good news about Jesus, they only wondered at it, but Mary kept these sayings, pondering them in her heart. She was like a cactus and retained the water.
“A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you.” (Psalms 91:7 WEB)
“For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, who spreads out its roots by the river, and shall not fear when heat comes, but its leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.” (Jeremiah 17:8 WEB)
In a desert whereby living creatures who cannot adapt just die of thirst and starvation, you will not. A thousand may fall at your side and ten thousand at your right hand, but it shall not come near you. You shall not even fear the heat when it comes because you are full of God’s word, unceasingly fruitful in every season!

【Lyrics】
Who am I?
Who’s inside of me?
Did I ever lose my mind?
私は誰?
誰か私の中にいるの?
頭がおかしくなっちゃったのかな?
I wanna cry
But I can’t find
From where all these tears are coming down
泣きたい気持ち
でも分からないの
この涙がどこからきているのか
So I’ll go find the little girl
To save her from the world
To tell her “hide no more”
A journey to the center of my heart
だから探しにいくの
小さな女の子を
この世界から救うために
「もう隠れなくていいんだよ」って伝えるために
私のハートの真ん中にいく旅
My heart, my heart
私のハート、私のハート
To find the girl who’s hiding inside my heart
私のハートに隠れている女の子を探しにいくの
One for two and two for one
I’m weak, but at least I’m not alone
1人は2人のために、そして2人は1人のために
私は弱いけれど、独りじゃないの
I gotta run toward the sound
The voice that’s calling out my name
音のする方へ走らなきゃ
私の名前を呼ぶ声の方へ
And I’ll go find the little girl
To save her from the world
To tell her “hide no more”
A journey to the center of my heart
そして探しにいくの
小さな女の子を
この世界から救うために
「もう隠れなくていいんだよ」って伝えるために
私のハートの真ん中にいく旅
I’m here
Eyes full of tears
Fighting all of the fears
Of losing you again
私はここにいる
目には涙が溢れて
恐怖と戦っている
またあなたを失うかもしれない恐怖と
Dear my beloved one
My inner loneliness
Let’s rewind the clock
’til we remember the happiness
親愛なるあなたへ
私の内なる孤独よ
時計を巻き戻そう
「幸せ」を思い出せるまで
You’re my heart
My heart
あなたは私のハート
私のハート
I am the girl who’s hiding inside my heart
私は私のハートに隠れている女の子
Hey, I’m here
Eyes full of tears
Fighting all of the fears
Of losing you again
ねぇ、私はここにいる
目には涙が溢れて
恐怖と戦っている
またあなたを失うかもしれない恐怖と
Dear my beloved one
My inner loneliness
Let’s rewind the clock
’til we remember the happiness
親愛なるあなたへ
私の内なる孤独よ
時計を巻き戻そう
「幸せ」を思い出せるときまで

The M.E. Series (The Millennial Experience). Created all on Mobile with #iPhone12ProMax
Weekend. Raining. Work had been hectic. Needed to take some time off to recharge. Covid. WFH. Blurred lines between work and personal time. No time to shut off from work completely. Found myself working from screens to screen. Laptop to phone. Even leisure is watching videos online.
In need of time for a digital detox.
Found a bookstore that was opened in Feb this year, in the heart of Orchard Road, Wheelock Place. Where the Borders flagship used to be. If you know what I’m talking about, you’re from my time. I recall the times when I was still in secondary school, hanging at Borders with my friends who love reading, and I will be there checking out the CDs.
Heard that it has a 2 storey space with a cafe and gallery as well. Heard that the ones in China open 24hours, although it’s not happening in SG yet
——
Zall Bookstore, an outlet with more than 30,000 books mostly in Chinese, also has a cafe and art gallery
——
“Ms Laura Yan Ge, 24, who is general manager of the Singapore store, said at a media preview on Friday that while the company did not anticipate the coronavirus outbreak erupting amid its expansion, it believes bookstores are especially vital during a pandemic.
‘Because of Covid-19, there is a lot of distance between people nowadays," she said in Mandarin. "We believe books will help to close this gap. They provide food for thought and people can use them to widen their worlds.’”
—
As a creator myself, I need to constantly find inspiration.
While I can readily find all sorts of information online, sometimes I found my mind being constantly overloaded instead. We read. Socialise. We basically live most parts of our lives in the virtual world, and now we have lesser and lesser reasons to get out there anymore.
So, why a new book store? When was the last time you visited a book store?
Being here made me realised that it’s not about the books. It’s about the space. It’s about the experience. It’s about being here and being present. And what happens when you unplug from the internet and be present in the moment? You’ll get involuntarily intrigued by the surroundings, the people, the architecture, the noise, the beauty of it all. You’ll find headspace. You’ll find your inspiration. You’ll even find a new you.
When was the last time you stepped outside, set aside time just for yourself, and experience life beyond the screen?

[VERSE 1]
在我還沒察覺
You go before I know
祢已走在我敵人面前
That You’ve even gone to win my war
砍下仇敵的頭 祢為我取回
You come back with the head of my enemy
祢卻稱我是爭戰得勝關鍵
You come back and You call it my victory
[VERSE 2]
在我還沒發現
You go before I know
祢走在爭戰隊伍之前
That You’ve even gone to win my war
祢愛成為我最強防衛
Your love becomes my greatest defence
祢愛引領我走出曠野
It leads me from the dry wilderness
[PRE CHORUS]
我只是讚美祢
All I did was praise
我只是敬拜祢
All I did was worship
我只是降服屈膝
All I did was bow down
在祢面前安靜
All I did was stay still
[CHORUS]
哈利路亞 祢拯救我
Hallelujah, You have saved me
何等奇妙恩典
So much better Your (this) way
哈利路亞 守護著我
Hallelujah, great defender
祢偉大的作為
So much better Your (this) way
[VERSE 3]
在我還沒尋求
You know before I do
祢愛找到我 使我自由
Where my heart can seek to find Your truth
祢慈愛憐憫遮蓋我生命
Your mercy is the shade I’m living in
祢恢復我的盼望信心
You restore my faith and hope again
[BRIDGE]
當我失去自己
When I thought I lost me
祢卻從沒放棄
You knew where I left me
再次將我帶入祢愛裡
You reintroduced me to Your love
我曾經破碎生命
You picked up all my pieces
祢卻恢復更新
Put me back together
主祢永遠守護我的心
You are the defender of my heart
