Weird Fish Catch Raises Tsunami Fears!

Indeed, we live in strange and dangerous times. As we are living literally in the End Times as what the Bible describes it, there will be more of such phenomenon taking places around us. Of course the question at the top of many minds would be - should be be intimidated by all these bad news? No, my friend, absolutely not. In fact, if we are watchful there are many warning signs ahead of the events and these could serve as warnings which we should not take likely.

If one were to panic and live life on the edge, then I am sorry the devil has won the battle - your fear and anxiety has just created high blood pressure which, when intense, can lead to heart failure. Looking at the signs and preparing for the crisis is a sure ticket out of the troubles that the devil intends for us if we are unprepared.

So, what would I do with THIS particular sign? Do I stop eating fish? No, I will continue to consume fish from Sumatra area. As a precaution, I would avoid going to Sumatra and avoid beach holidays in Phuket, Penang, Langkawi, Sri Lanka, Maldives, Mauritius, Perth-Freemantle, Broome in Western Australia, etc - anyway that is potentially in the path of a possible tsunami like the one that happened on Dec 26th, 2004.

Three Earthquakes Along The Pacific Ring-of-Fire

It is amazing that three earthquakes have taken place in just over one year and geologists are now guessing that a fourth will occur and this time it might be along the west coast of USA.

A quick look at the three quakes that had occurred and one would notice that they happened in a clockwise direction: -

1. Concepcion in Chile on Feb 27, 2010 at magnitude 8.8
2. Christchurch in New Zealand on Feb 22, 2011 at magnitude 6.3
3. off Miyagi Prefecture in Japan on Mar 11, 2011 at magnitude 9.0

Geologists also believe that the gravitational pull of the Super-Moon phenomenon on March 19, 2011 might contribute to the occurrence. Certainly past natural oddities do point to some activity in the earth's crust - a large school of whales had beached themselves along the long California coastline as well as a huge school of fishes found floating off the Mexican west coast due to the changes in the electro-magnetic fields.

So, the obvious question now on many minds is whether the fourth significant quake will happen? when? and where? Certainly, the signs all add up to the shortening of time left for this Earth before our Lord returns for His own - the Rapture.

Are you ready when He comes?

Two Turbulent Months in 2011

I was just counting the number of incidents (calamities and disasters) since January 01, 2011 and I am amazed that the total number had surpassed the combined total of 2007, 2008 and 2009 and in a few more months, the total would even surpass 2010 thrown in.
When will these end? you might ask. The Bible tells us that these are just the beginning signs of the END. In fact the scripture goes further and said that the situation will get even worse and then the END will be here. Interesting that scientists have calculated that the total resources in this earth can only last until 2050 and that's the reason why NASA and the Russians are so keen to discover human-friendly planets for the future of mankind.
I believe we do not have until 2050; in fact I personally do not the earth will even continue after 2020 at the rate disasters and calamities take place. And here I would like to draw our attention back to the Bible where the answers can be found. Ever wondered why there are only 150 psalms and no more? Since the Book of Psalms appear as the nineteenth book in the Table of Contents, all events taking place in any year after 1901 can be correlated to the number of the psalm - eg. the year 1948 corresponds to Psalm 48, 1991 to Psalm 91, etc - and for the year 2000 onwards, we just have to look at Psalm 100 onwards.
So it is very exciting to monitor the world situation and keep looking at the relevant psalm and see what the Lord said about that year. In that light, I just want to draw our attention to Psalm 114:7 where it says, "Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob (ESV). So something spectacular is going to take place in 2014 and it will cause the entire earth to tremble; what is it? We just have to see.
Meanwhile, what are you going to do in the interim while we approach 2014? Will you be ready when Jesus Christ our Lord comes back to take His own back with Him in what the Church terms "The Rapture"?

Being At The Right Place At The Right Time

When Abraham's servant was sent to the land of Abraham's forefathers to his own extended family to look for a bride for Isaac his son, the servant prayed a very interesting prayer, (Genesis 24:12-14),
v12 "O LORD, God of my master Abraham, give me success today, and show kindness to my master Abraham.
v13 See, I am standing beside this spring, and the daughters of the townspeople are coming out to draw water.
v14 May it be that when I say to a girl, 'Please let down your jar that I may have a drink,' and she says, 'Drink, and I'll water your camels too'--let her be the one you have chosen for your servant Isaac. By this I will know that you have shown kindness to my master."
The Bible records that no sooner had he finished praying that Rebecca, the daughter of Bethuel, the son of Nahor who was Abraham's brother, came to the well to draw water for her sheep and all the things that the servant prayed for were answered directly and the servant knew in an instant that Rebecca was the chosen bride for Isaac.
This is the first mention in the Bible of a "hap" in the "happening" - being at the right place at the right time - and it gives us a good model to follow.
Over the past few days (since February 01), I had the occasion to be in the right place to bless three persons - two friends are on the threshold of looking for career moves and I came to know about them and, lo and behold, I was chatting with the general manager of a company and this company is looking to hire trusted persons for its job openings and so all I did was to arrange for the separate parties to meet to introduce them and see the commonalities and the matchings (2 separate meetings will be held back to back in a week).
The other case involves a friend's family where the children could not come to terms with their father's sudden passing more than five years ago. The bitterness in the son has become almost unbearable for the mother and over the Lunar New Year visitation, they came to our home and poured out their situation. Well, the boy seems to be missing a fatherly figure and so I will come in and befriend the boy and allow the Holy Spirit to heal the wound and set him free.
Certainly these three cases demonstrate how the Lord works in ways we do not understand at that moment but when everything falls into place we can reflect and say, 'all glory to our Lord Jesus Christ Who has given us the grace to bless others with the gifts (blessings) He first gives us'.

Being Obedient To The Prompting Of The Holy Spirit

Last evening, I attended a funeral memorial wake service of a dear brother in the Lord who went home to be with the Lord in the early hours of Tuesday (Monday night) after suffering a heart failure. He was 88 years old and he left exactly one year after his beloved wife went home to the Lord (Jan 30, 2010) leaving behind three children and 5 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren. 
Now what was amazing was that on Saturday evening, I was prompted by the Holy Spirit to approach the ushers after the second service to take five sets of holy communion elements and visit mr friend's father in the hospital after lunch on Sunday and to administer the holy communion (five sets - the brother, his two daughters, my wife and myself). And the prompting was very strong as I was reminded again on Sunday morning over breakfast and I even asked my wife to collect the elements should I missed the opportunity.

I was surprised when my wife told me that the ushers had kept everything after the service and that they could not give me the communion elements. And so, undeterred I approached the ushers myself and spoke to the team leader about reopening the boxes to hand me the required sets for my hospital visit and, praise the Lord, one of the ushers apparently had already taken the initiative and handed me the required number.

After lunch, we proceeded to the hospital and we had a good time of fellowship over the Lord's supper. The Lord is so good in that He arranged for all the family members to be present at the hospital and so there were eight of us there. After communion, I took the anointing oil and anointed the brother and spoke over his situation and so when our friend texted me in the morning I knew the significance of the hospital visit and the communion.

But what thrilled my heart most was when this dear sister (our friend) shared with me after the service that she and her sister discussed on Saturday evening and were believing the Lord that the father would have an opportunity to take communion in the hospital and also to be anointed with oil. They approached the pastor of their church and were told that it was not possible because of timings. Unbeknown to them the Lord had already planted that assignment on my heart and so, when I announced to the two sisters that I was going to share communion, they were amazed at the answer to their prayer and were further thrilled when I opened the bottle of oil and started to anoint their father.

And so, from this experience, I am now more sensitive to what the Holy Spirit puts in my heart. I believe this is just the beginning and there will be more miracles taking place after this.

To Jesus be the glory and honor. AMEN
