Prayer never expires.

Ever felt like your prayers have gone unanswered. Perhaps you have been praying for something for a while yet feel you are nowhere near a solution than when you fist started.

Maybe you feel that this kind of attitude is disrespectfull. After all, the Bible clearly teaches that God answers prayer. What we do not know is the when. Maybe you have even prayed about something then forgotten about it. Leaving it in Gods hands.

You cling to verses like 1Th 5:17 “Pray without ceasing.”, and Jas 5:16 “Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that you may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.”, and Mt 21:22 “And all things, whatever you shall ask in prayer, believing, you shall receive.”

But when you feel that you do not have an answer, does it mean that God is not interested, that He has forgotten. The answer is a unequivocal No. God, who transcends time, will not forget. Our prayers do not fall on deaf ears, they do not go unanswered. They do not expire.

The difference is that we need to understand that all things are done in Gods timing. His will is not ours. God answers prayer according to His sovereign will and plan.

The other thing that we cannot grasp is that God is everlasting. He is not bound by time or space. So it stands to reason that our prayers will never have an expiry date on it. Because there is not time, there can be no expiry.

We prayed for a baby for 8 years. Finally our prayer was answered. We were blessed with a baby girl. Did God forget. No, our baby cam at the appointed time. Remember Hannah, 1Sa 1:27 “For this child I prayed; and the LORD has given me my petition which I asked of him:”.

So be encouraged, if you have prayed for something many years ago, remember that prayer does not expire. God will answer that prayer. He knows the right time to do so.

Isa 59:1 “Behold, the LORD’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy that it cannot hear:”

The Cross Of Jesus

Just a little cross
For you to see,

Just a little cross
For you to share,

Just a little reminder,

Of how much our Lord
Does care,

Each time you look upon
Your cross,

Remember what it cost,

The gift for you is free...

It was paid upon THE TREE.




P/S :
As i carry my cross with me, i remember what my lord did for me
He died on the old rugged cross
To heal the broken hearted and save the lost

On his back were scars from the cat of nine tales
On his head were wrapped the large thorns were wrapped
The pain he took for you and I
And one day we will hear him say welcome home child, it is I

Untitled Love

Happiness is but a vague expression,
a mere public showboat,
the boy cries at night,
but hides his pain at sunrise;

smiles are just a way to hide his hurt,
those sad eyes never forget,
so alone he reaches out,
only to grasp the air;

such loneliness overwhelmes his tiny heart,
never to trust again,
love is never satisfied in his world,
happiness is but a life away.

Jesus Is a Peacemaker.

Jesus, the Blessed Child of the Father, is a peacemaker. Jesus’ peace doesn’t mean only absence of war. It is not simply harmony or equilibrium. His peace is the fullness of well being and it was gratuitously given by God. Jesus say:

“Peace I leave to you, my own peace I give you, a peace which the world cannot give, this is my gift to you” (John 14:27)..

Peace is Shalom.. Well being of mind, heart and body, individually and communally. It can exist in the midst of a war torn world, even the midst of unresolved problems and increasing of human conflicts. Jesus made the peace by giving His life for His brothers and sisters. This is not easy peace, but it is everlasting and it comes from God.

Are you willing to give our lives in the service of peace??

In Memory of Jesus and The Saints

Belonging to the communion of saints means being connected with all people transfromed by the Spirit of Jesus. This connection is eep and intimate. Those who have lived as brother and sister of Jesus continue to live within us, even though they have died, just as Jesus continues to live within us, even though HE has died.

We live our lives in memory of Jesus and the saints, and this memory is a real presence. Jesus and HIS saints are part of our most intimate and spiritual knowladge of God. They inspire us, guide us, encourage us and give us hope. They are the source of our constant transformation. Yes, we carry them in our hearts and thus keep them alive for all with whom we live and work.

Come And Soar With Me

Come closer if you will
Bow before me and kneel
Doesn't matter how you feel
A contrite Spirit I will heal
My blood covenant with you sealed
Now arise and go forth
A new direction a new course
A higher way than you've ever been
A closer walk with Jesus, our friend
Walking together hand in hand
On His word we take our stand
Agreeing with our Fathers' plan
We're no longer bogged in the sand
On the wings of Eagles we have mounted
Forgetting our hurts, our blessings all counted
Resisting our enemy causing him to flee
Soaring to new heights in the heavenlies

Price of Christ

Another day, another dime. While everyone else’s dime is just regular dime, mine is made of the thickest blood and has been buried deep under the mother’s soil that it has turn solid rock. When a human finally found it, it shows the shiniest dime from the way time sculptured it with hard lessons and smoldering look the dime itself shown.

Money is what represents the world to us, with such a pretty marketing package, bonus it’s offered, beautiful things you can have and cuddle at night. Something to accompany the lonely heart of yours. Money in different shapes and sizes, even now you don’t have to carry it anywhere, wow. Beautiful, beautiful money. Be cautious.


We are merely a speckle in this big universe in a bond of unseen emotion and the feelings of curiosity of who, what, when and how we are actually here. Some find it as an inner peace and feeling of satisfaction that they already know the answer. But the big question now is present-future, the afterlife. What happen next to our biological form are already answered by science: deceased, dust to dust. But what about the life within us? The logos inside that actually made us human and equally valuable to life itself.



I know what happen to me, safe and sound beside my Creator, the big JC: Jesus Christ. He has bought me back from the dead that I’m supposed to end with. He has paid for all my sins not with money or gold or any cheque in the world, but He paid mine with His blood. He died for me by being crucified to death even though He did nothing wrong, but He did that with nothing in return but for the sake of my life. The sweet Lord assures my name to be listed to sit and lived with Him forever with nothing but joy and happiness after this world ends.

Kinda too much for ya? Well, I’m telling you that even now when I’m still here and being tortured with all the problems in my life, Jesus Christ always there to ease my pain and always, I mean always give me strength to get through it. I’m not feeling afraid when He’s there, like you found your peace and not afraid to face anything. He’s like all the doctors put together when you’re sick, even better! And what makes it awesome is that He never rejects you when you’re down and even when nobody wants you anymore.


Jesus Christ always open His arms big and wide, and smiles that He wants us to know that everything is gonna be alright from now on. All you have to do is simple; just admit ALL your mistakes for real, promise to change to a better individual, surrender to His guidance coz He’s good at it, don’t let yourself to steer your life but let Him be your wheel and follow His lead. Just learn to listen, and you know He actually answered all your prayers. That’s it, simple right. The price to be saved by Christ is nothing, but the value is everything.
