Life Questions

Hi there, what sort of questions do you have? Perhaps try handing over one.


As far as life is concerned, here is one of the most frequently asked questions: most people ask what our purpose of life is -- why did God create us. Why did God create human beings in the first place? Why did God create Adam and Eve?


God created us to first have a relationship with Him. He wanted children, so He created us in His image -- in the image of God. And He would spend time, everyday, with Adam and Eve, chatting with them and building that relationship with them. It was a beautiful time.


But as we all know, Adam and Eve disobeyed God when they took of the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil which they were told not to take. And their eyes were opened -- their ignorance shattered -- sin entered in. That sin separated them from God because God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.


The relationship between man and God has been broken -- the closeness, that beautiful thing they had. But to make it worse, they were also bound for death. Instead of living forever, the wages of sin is death. God was heartbroken, so he had a plan to rescue them.


His plan was to pay for their sins which could only be done by redeeming a life for a life -- his own. So to earth He came, as a baby, to live as humans, showing us how to live without sin, and to finally die for humans, paying the price of blood -- a sinless man paying for the sins of the world, but brutally. Every stripe of the whip He received, was to pay for our healing. His blood, redeeming and therefore powerful to use as evidence of our salvation.


Now, anyone who accepts this salvation shall be free to live eternally, instead of going to hell where sin had condemned us to previously. The path to heaven has been reforged, and we can now live with Him, both while on earth and after we die, to graduate to Heaven, where He has made a home for us, to live with Him forever. And that is a beautiful thing.


This means that once we accept this salvation -- Jesus -- into our hearts, we have reforged that relationship with Him. We can come to Him freely, without the need for a mediator. We can hear His voice, and casually spend time with Him everyday as it were from the beginning, and as it ought to be. With this relationship, we have achieved our purpose in life, and without this relationship, there will always be a hole in our hearts, and we will always be longing for Him, and breaking inside.


So all you have to do is to tell Jesus you want Him in your heart and that you accept His payment, which He paid for on the cross for your life, paying for every sin you ever committed, making you now sinless -- and your life will change. Forever. It's really that simple.

Couple Disagreements -- To Move or Stay Put?

It's not up to either of you nor is it our place to advice you. You both need to pray and seek the Lord for guidance on this. The Lord has led us as a family from one place to another. There is a time to move and there is a time to stay put. Ask the Lord for guidance. Also, submission to your husband and saving your marriage is more important than money. How to Pray: Both of you, go to a room, whether alone or together, close your eyes, ask God to give you guidance on whether to move or stay, and ask Him for a book, chapter and verse. Then wait for it with eyes closed. Wait for the book, chapter number and verse number. Read the whole chapter anyway, including the key verse.  It's hard the first few times but you'll get it over time, do it everyday as devotion. Get a notebook or Google Drive to write down what God is saying. Then match your verse and understanding with his. After a few days, you kind of know where this is going.

How to Fast the Right Way

First of all, motive. Fast to draw close to Him, and don't let anyone know that you're fasting. Matthew 6:16-18  For a Full Fast: Just tell them that you're taking some time off will be booked on those dates and can't be contacted during those periods.  Turn your phone on silent mode. It's basically only for emergencies, or else, don't answer at all. Lock yourself in your room. Matthew 6:6-7 Drink lots of water if you're going on a full fast. If you're living with others, only go out of the room to get more water. What you actually do: No work, no play, just fast and pray. And worship and Word and talk to Him and draw close to Him. And write down what He says. Do your devotion.

Angry Spouse

Lack of sleep is one of the causes. Another is hunger. I know it's simple but if we pay attention to these two things, it is surprising how different a human can be. Try to have meals on the table an hour earlier i.e. 11am lunch 5pm tea. Because I realized that my hubby gets angry just before lunch and just before tea. And snack at 10am and fruit breaks at 3pm helps a ton. Just pay attention to the times he gets angry -- usually before meals. My husband also had a snoring issue. He had chronic sleep apnea but improved so much when he's on the cpap. He can last without the CPAP if I turn him to face down on the pillow until he can breathe normally while he sleeps.
