The King still has one more move.

-


Hello! I just felt like blogging about what Pastor Ray McCauley preached during the mid-week service :D    
Soooo one part of his sermon was "The King still has one more move".
There was this famous painting, titled: Checkmate


The green guy on the left represents the devil who seems to give a grin of victory whereas, the man on the right, representing us humans, look forlorn and worried.
An international chess champion thought there was something wrong with this painting as it couldn't possibly be a checkmate; the King piece still can make one more move.

When Pastor shared the story behind this painting, it was like woahhhh, a huge revelation.
There was actually nothing wrong with the painting.
The painter intentionally painted it this way to show that when you think you are being "checkmate", it is a lie from the devil.
It seems like the devil has won but the King, Jesus still has one more move to make.

This really spoke to me because before I came for service, I felt like I was in a "checkmate"situation.
No matter what I do or how hard I try, I can't get better in my studies.
When I heard this, it hit me.
The King still has one more move to make in my life.
He can turn the whole situation around for me.
Yeah, He can.
Everyone thought it was a "checkmate" when the boy only had 5 loaves and 2 fishes.
The checkmate was a lie.
Jesus gave thanks and fed the 5000.
Everyone thought it was a "checkmate" when Jesus had to die on the cross.
The checkmate was a lie.
Jesus rose from the dead after 3 days and now because of His death, we can freely receive the righteousness of God and forgiveness of sins.

I've been so blessed by what Pastor shared. :')
And I hope you have been blessed too :)
Have a great week ahead!

Back to the Start.

The start of my journey and walk with God was a very personal one, something that I cannot merely describe in words, something really close to my heart. Taking you back to where it first started around Primary 5/6 (when I was 11/12 years old). That was the point in my life I went from a few friends to none at all. Because I enjoyed mimicking the handwritings of others or maybe copying some of my friends' things, they were very unhappy about it. Maybe there was more but I am not too sure. I recall vividly that I was queuing up at a bubble tea shop and chose the same straw colour as one of my closest friends. She went to pick another straw when she saw it and said, "Oh, I thought you would copy me" And that's when I knew; people were aware of what I was doing and disliked it. Another incident I remember was going to class early in the morning and I saw a group of my classmates gathering around a table. The instant I stepped in, they all dispersed. At that m...

Hello, it's been a while but I was just reminded of this blog all of a sudden and to pen, and perhaps inspire some of you here about some of the things I'm doing to spend time with Him during this season: Visual journaling (Cageless Birds) -  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ha9LGR2Hto I always had the desire to spend time with God through art, but never knew how. And time and time again, through prophecies, countless people have been reminding me of prophetic art which is something that has always been on my heart. I absolutely love Lesson 3 - Blueprint of My Heart which unraveled the mysteries of what my heart yearned for. Definitely, this inspired me of how my future home would look like and what truly matters to me. At the center of my heart - it's always been about the secret place (worship, prayer, prophecy, and the Word).  Worship together with Youtube videos (Jonathan Ogden/Beloved Music) -  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjM1NfVhb8w   https...

Just wanted to share a short testimony hehe. Yes, I know it has been a while since I posted but bear with me ): Btw, when I came home I just kept procrastinating and it has been happening for a while now. It's quite frustrating when you want to get work done but you can't because of all these distractions. I told the Lord about it but it's even more frustrating when you can't seem to get an answer or resolve the problem. I felt doubtful if God even heard my prayers and why was this happening to me... My promos are coming soon and it seemed as if the Lord didn't care. But today, I heard this amazing song by Laura Story, Blessings. And this is of no coincidence. I believe the Lord led me to this song. The lyrics are amazing: Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops What if Your healing comes through tears What if a thousand sleepless nights  Are what it takes to know You're near And what if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise ...
