Michael Jackson Fan?

Image
Zeus, my flatmate's cat, doesn't like noise. The moment we start chatting near him, he's off.  The worse thing I can ever do to him is sing, as he finds my voice irritating.  While I was getting ready for work, I was watching Michael Jackson's video, "Beat It" on my laptop. Zeus came in my bedroom to say hello. He not only sat down next to the laptop, he didn't mind me singing along and ruining the song. He even rubbed his head against the laptop. When the next Michael Jackson video,  "Smooth Criminal", came on, he sat quietly and listened to it. Zeus was either putting up with the noise because he loves me or he's a fan of Michael Jackson. 😂

If I am What I Eat

If we are what we eat, I should have fins as I eat a lot of tuna. I also eat a lot of red grapes, which turns me into wine. I eat lots of pasta as well. I have no idea what that makes me! 😂 Thank you, God, for providing foods that I love. ❤️ Photo of my meal - jacket potato with tuna mayonnaise and sweet corn

Why Everyone Needs Jesus

 I like hearing testimonies about how new believers come to Christ and how Christ is transforming them from the inside out.  However, I believe extreme cases testimonies from people who were previously addicted to drugs, criminals in prison may not encourage non-believers to come to Christ. What do I mean by this? Most people are law abiding citizens who consider themselves good. Some  give money to charity and volunteer their time to charity, and there are lots who follow various religions. If you think you are not perfect, but you strive to be a good person by doing the right thing, why would you need a Saviour?  It's the real sinners like criminals, abusers and drug addicts who need to be saved.   That's why it took me ages to accept Jesus as my Saviour because I believed in God and considered myself very spiritual and was striving to be a better person and volunteered for various charities. I even studied the Bible and lived by Biblical principles....

Maturing in Christ

Thank you, Jesus for giving me Your life. ✝️❤️ ---- Relevant Bible verses: "Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”  Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?” Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit."" John 3: 3-6 "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new." 2 Corinthians 5: 17 "I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me." Galatians 2: 20

I Love to Love You

While I was lying in bed and being perfectly still with my eyes closed, I heard a voice in my head singing: "I love to love you, baby. I love to love you." I've never heard that song before. Even though the pitch of the voice sounded high, I couldn't really tell whether it was male or female.  It could have been sung by a male with a countertenor voice. I have recorded the ditty on my phone and I've been humming and singing it to myself. I love you too, Lord. ❤️ ---- Relevant Bible verses: "Be still and know that I am God." Psalm 46: 10 "He who does not love does not know God, for God is love." 1 John 4: 8 "We love Him because He first loved us." 1 John 4: 19

Now is the Day of Salvation

When I checked my work calendar, I saw I had nothing booked for next week.  The Holy Spirit reminded me that what appears to be empty space is filled with His presence. Therefore, I should never look for my supply in the past or in the future. Everything I need is available now in God. "Now is the day of salvation." (2 Corinthians 6: 2) There are times when God will inspire you to take the necessary practical steps. For instance, I needed a cover and screen protector for my phone. I was inspired to go to this shop to get them. It took a while for the shop owner to find the right cover for my phone. When it came to the screen protector, again, he couldn't find one. I suggested that I just buy the cover, but he insisted that he had one in stock. He soon found one that was right for my phone. God reminded me that just as the shop owner didn't want to lose my business opportunity so is the moment of now. A few hours later, I received an email from my agency about work opp...

Blue is Also My Colour

So I went to our local phone accessories shop to buy a new cover and screen protector for my phone. After rifling through his products, the shop owner found one cover for my phone, but it was blue. I asked him if he had it in black but he said it was the only one he had in stock for my phone type. He then found a screen protector that matched my phone screen and fitted it for me. As I was saying goodbye to the shop owner and his other customers, I told him I still didn't like the colour. "It's a nice colour," he said. "It will bring you luck." He would say that, wouldn't he? 😊 As I walking back, I told God blue is not really my colour. Immediately, two cars with the same shade of blue as my new phone cover, drove by, one after another. Very funny, God! I then looked down and realised I was wearing dark blue trainers. When I came home, I drank from my water bottle which was almost the same shade as my phone cover. I also noticed  the t-shirt I had change...
