Yesterday, during the Fortitude Budget speech, our Singapore Deputy Prime Minister talked about the increasing demand for IT, technology and engineering related workers. The digital space is growing, and through this COVID-19 pandemic, more businesses are seeing the need to transition to digitization and having an online presence instead of just a physical storefront.
When you start a blog or website, it’s the beginning of building an online presence. It opens up new opportunities for you and suddenly you’re able to reach a wider audience and customer base than ever before.
“But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run back and forth, and knowledge shall be increased.”” (Daniel 12:4 WEB)
The end times is marked by an exponential increase in knowledge. The last time I heard, the world’s experts call this time the “Information Age”.
There are many benefits in starting a website or blog, because there are so many searching for knowledge online. People are even willing to pay for knowledge.
As a Christian writer and blogger, I use my time to study the Bible, and share the revelations I receive during my study time in my blog, social media and books. I spent years experimenting with my own website and social media platforms.
Since people are looking for knowledge, let it be the truth of God’s word that they find. If there’s demand, there’s an opportunity. Just provide the supply. It’s perfectly okay to be paid well for the time you spend in creating quality content that improves people’s lives!
Monetizing your website or blog isn’t like a job. In your salaried job, even if you slack off and your boss doesn’t notice, you still get paid by the hour.
In blogging and selling your own products online, you are paid based on the results you get—not based on per hour, but per sale or per click (for ads).
This means that you have the opportunity to grow your income without a boss to set your limits.
Ask the Lord to give you creative, wise ideas and place you in the right place at the right time to generate massive results. Only He can give you the grace for that.
You can learn all you want from so-called ‘experts’ online, but if you don’t receive favor from God, you can’t succeed.
“I planted. Apollos watered. But God gave the increase. So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase. Now he who plants and he who waters are the same, but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor.” (1 Corinthians 3:6-8 WEB)
You can plant and water all you want by your own efforts, but without God giving the increase, your website or blog won’t grow. It’s so important to receive and rely on His favor!
Perhaps you even lost your job or took a pay cut. Why not explore a new way of doing things and learn new skills?
Being able to build, manage and market a website are valuable skills that add value to companies who are looking to hire talents.
If you’re going to start a website or a blog, do it for God’s glory, to exalt the name of Jesus. You’ll be rewarded for your labor of faith, hope and love.
I have a local friend who builds professional websites for a living, and he charges even up to $50,000 for a website.
My rate is much, much lower than that. I’ve built websites for clients before, but my portfolio isn’t an extensive as his. My passion is still in writing about God’s word, so building websites is something I can do, but only for a few people.
If you want to hire me to build a website/blog for you, you can do so here: https://www.miltongoh.net/store/p14/website-creation-service-based-in-singapore.html
If you hire me, I will include US$800 worth of free inclusions like suggesting a name (URL) for your domain that boosts your website’s visibility on Google, my eBook guide “How to Use your Weebly Website” to help you confidently use your new website yourself, setting up your email newsletter account and Google Analytics (for tracking website data and growth), as well as suggestions and placement of stock photos for your website.
Here’s to witnessing the next wave of Christian bloggers and digital entrepreneurs succeed in the mission of making the Gospel of Jesus Christ known! 🙌

How to Discern Between God’s Voice and Your Own Thoughts?
“For the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and is able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart.” (Hebrews 4:12 WEB)
The difference between the soul and spirit can sometimes seem blurred. Both these parts of you have thoughts—it may be tough to differentiate the voices.
The soul is like your personality—what’s uniquely you based on your life experiences. This includes your mind, will and emotions.
The soul is what makes you different among others.
The spirit is your true self—the essence of your being. God is Spirit, and He communicates with you in your spirit.
By default, the spirit of unbelievers is dead because of sin. In contrast, a believer’s spirit is alive forever because it has been reborn by the Holy Spirit when he/she first placed faith in Jesus.
The soul and spirit are attached together. Wherever the spirit goes, the soul follows. The body is just a home for the spirit and soul to dwell in.
Because the spirit and soul are eternal, they cannot cease to exist and must continue to dwell somewhere.
Since a sinner cannot live in our holy God’s presence, a departed unbeliever’s spirit has to be separated from God in Hell, and eventually in the lake of fire.
When a thought arises from inside you, it’s understandable that you get confused, not knowing if it’s God speaking to you in your spirit or if it’s just the ramblings of your own mind.
When such a situation arises, there is a living weapon that is so precise that it can differentiate God’s thoughts from your thoughts—it’s called God’s word.
The word “sword” in the passage above is also used to describe a knife used to slit a sacrificial lamb’s throat, as well as a surgeon’s scalpel.
Both such tools are used for precision and must also be handled by skillful practitioners.
By judging a thought based on what God’s word says, you can discern if it’s your own fleshly thought, or God’s spiritual thought.
It all boils down to familiarity. Do you know Jesus well enough to know if a thought is from Him, or just from you?
“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.” (John 10:27 WEB)
A sheep follows its shepherd because it’s familiar with his voice. When you’re well versed with God’s character and the way He deals with His own children, you’ll be able to differentiate the thoughts inside you.
For example, a thought that stems from fear cannot be from God because perfect love casts out fear—it doesn’t produce fear.
Another example is a thought that is condemning and threatening is surely not from God because the Holy Spirit reminds us of our righteousness in Christ and testifies that we are children of God because He witnessed Jesus’ finished work at the cross.
Most believers want Jesus to lead them especially in major life decisions. When one is not familiar with what God’s word says, that’s where the frustration happens.
“I don’t know if it’s God telling me to do this, or is it just my own thoughts.” Can you relate to this?
The more you receive God’s word and familiarize with how God deals with you under the New Covenant of Grace, you’ll be able to wield it skillfully to differentiate between God’s thoughts and your own thoughts.
Besides being a discerner of thoughts, God’s word is a powerful weapon to slay all enemies.
There was a person in our Christian group on Facebook that asked why is God’s word likened to a sword when today there are far more powerful modern weapons like guns and bombs.
I believe the sword is just to give us a visual to help us to understand the nature of God’s word.
In the battle against the Antichrist, Jesus will use His word alone to defeat him and his armies.
“The rest were killed with the sword of him who sat on the horse, the sword which came out of his mouth. All the birds were filled with their flesh.” (Revelation 19:21 WEB)
All modern weapons that they will use at that time will be useless against Jesus. Of course Jesus is not shooting a literal sword out of His mouth—it’s a symbol to help us visualize that His word can be a weapon to destroy enemies.
Do you find that there is an enemy of sickness in your body? Remember that the word “sword” can also be related to a surgeon’s scalpel.
God’s word is able to pinpoint the exact area where the problem lies, and to destroy it as you receive and believe the word.
“But refuse profane and old wives’ fables. Exercise yourself toward godliness. For bodily exercise has some value, but godliness has value in all things, having the promise of the life which is now, and of that which is to come.” (1 Timothy 4:7-8 WEB)
Studying God’s word is also a spiritual training in godliness which has value in all things. I pray that you will become skillful at wielding this living sword.
