故事分享 — 国王的四位王后

有一位国王,拥有四位王后,可是国王偏偏对第四位王后特别的宠爱。他常常给第四位王后买衣服,各种各样的服装,鞋,发夹等等。王在她身上花了好一大笔钱财,这是王向第四位王后表达爱意的方式。
虽然如此,王对第三位王后也很宠爱,王常常给她买各种各样的附属品,还建高大有堂皇的皇宫给她,给她买豪华昂贵的车辆等等。
至于第二位王后,王常把时间花在她身上。每当国王有任何烦恼愁困的时候就会找她,因为她比较成熟,很厉害解决国王的烦恼困难,所以国王常常和她在一起。
可是,对于第一位王后,国王对她却不理不睬的。已经把她丢在一旁,甚至忘了她的存在!

有一天,国王的了重病,无药可救了。所有医生都说国王随时会驾崩。国王听了很伤心,他心里想说:“也许下一分钟我就去世了,难道我要一个人走吗?” “不!我是国王!我不要一个人走!”

国王便下令传第四位王后上来,国王告诉她说:“郑得了重病,已经无药可救了,随时就会驾崩的,我的至爱王后,你能不能陪陪一起走呢?”谁知,第四位王后直接说:“NO! Get Lost!”国王非常心痛。

接着,王传第三位王后上来,问她同样的问题,可是,得到的答案让国王心碎了!第三位王后竟然拒绝了国王!很可恶对吧?

之后,国王想:“第二位王后成熟又有智慧,她很善解我意,一定会答应的”。当国王一五一十的把所有困难告诉第二位王后之后,她回答王说:“我知道你要我陪你一起去,好,我会陪你到坟墓前,然后为你哀悼,为你哭泣……这是我所能做的了,我不能够陪你一起死。对不起。”
国王伤心欲断魂,拿起匕首准备刺入腹中,离开这残酷现实的世界!可是,就在这个时候,一位穿着旧旧礼服,身体瘦弱的女人出现在王面前说:“我愿意”“亲爱的,我愿意陪你一起死”国王感到很安慰,非常地感动,仔细的看看这位女人,原来她就是国王的第一位王后。由于国王没有买新服装给她所以她只穿旧衣裳;因为王忽略了她,所以她吃不好,睡不着,结果体弱多病。

最后,国王和这第一位王后走这接下来的路程。




今天,我们每个人都有四个王后。
第四位王后就是我们自己的身体。我们常常给她买最漂亮最棒的衣服,裤子,鞋子等等。各种各样的装饰品给她打扮得非常非常地漂亮。可是到最后,到你去世的时候,她是不会陪着你的。
第三位王后,给她买各种附属品,最先进的电话,最好玩的游戏机,最豪华的车,最华丽的皇宫。到最后你死的时候,她也不会跟着你的。
第二位王后,就是您的父母家人亲戚朋友,他们对你非常好。当你遇到困难烦恼的时候,你常常找他们诉苦发泄。虽然他们都很爱你,可是到你死的时候,他们只能够来到你的坟墓前,给你哀悼哭泣。他们不可能会陪你去死的。
第一位王后,也就是您的灵魂。我们常常都忽略的她,把她丢在一旁,不理不睬的,甚至把她给忘记了。可是,到你死了以后,只有她会跟着你,陪伴在你身边的。因此,不要像这位后悔的国王一样,把最重要的给忽略了。

记得要多读圣经哦!把第一位王后养得肥肥胖胖的哦!=)

TJC jokes

These are some really common jokes and I am not surprised if you have heard of them before:

a) The True Jeus Church members are taught by 'culture' to often say Hallelujah, often as a greeting to others in the church. "Hallelujah" almost sounds like "hi" as members use it to greet whenever they meet each other.
It's not a bad thing. But it could be dangerous.

Eg: my mom is going to greet a Malay(Muslim) but "Hallelujah" naturally slipped off her lips! And the same thing happens when she greets her acquaintances. Imagine that perplexed look on the "victim's" face, they must be thinking, "What the... did the crazy auntie just sing the Mr Bean Hallelujah theme song?"
b) The Bible tells us to do anything in Jesus' name. Yeah, that is to make sure we remember the Lord our God in everything we do, and give glory to him.
Kids are all taught this way.

Eg: a young brother in his school dozed off during the class. The teacher was furious and she intentionally called his name to read a passage from the text book. "XXX, read the following passage." it was loud enough to awake the boy.
The boy shot up like a rocket, with the book in his hand, and he blurted, "In Jesus' name I read, ...!"

c) Any questions? Ask the Father.
Dialogue(FICTIONAL):
Ren Jie: oi, Esther, Chi Yang got a girlfriend already ar?
Esther: yea lar, with Shuriken girl ma...
Aily: No lar, he told me he doesn't have any lor.
Ren Jie: how would you know he told you the truth?
Aily: I ... I asked him in Jesus' name! haha.
Esther: Hor, you abused the name of God?
Aily: no lar... it is only right to ask Daddy about our siblings' relationship ma.
Ren Jie: LoL! "Daddy"?
Esther: Did you ask like, "Daddy Daddy, who is YangYang dating jiek? Is Yang Yang telling the truth that he is dating Shu Shu? If Yang Yang bad bad and tell lies hor, Daddy you must ground him! No more pocket money for him for a week!"
come on, share with us the TJC jokes you have heard or experienced yourselves
in the comment column or chatbox!

Testimony

In the name of Jesus I bear testimony,
oh, while saying that, I was suddenly backed away abit 'cause, do you guys notice that we are seldom that formal as to start our posts in the name of Jesus?
Well, I've got a little testimony here. Just last Friday night.

My Proton Satria is a manual, a good and powerful car-I must acknowledge. I am so proud of driving it around. But unfortunately, I need to admit that I ain't all too good a driver. Much less while I gotta drive a MANUAL car. Days ago I was still driving my dad's Proton Saga and it is an auto.



On that peaceful night, my Satria suddenly broke down and its engine totally died. Surprise flitted across my eyes and anxiety was growing immense. Lydia was helping me to pray while I kept tryin to restart the engine but my efforts led to no avail. O God, do you have to do this to me? C'mon, Your child is now asking of you in sincere faith, help me to restart my engine and You can let it die once we arrive at Church.

My heart pounded loud when I gazed at my back and noticed the bad jam I caused on the already very-busy road of Genting Klang, and my car was on the right lane, the fast lane. Oh dear...

My phone ran out of battery, and this is one thing I gotta thank God for, that Lydia was with me so she could provide a phone and I didn't have to bear this distress alone.

My prayer took a while to be answered, but not in the way I wanted it to be. My car still failed to restart, but in the most despairing moment, Bro. Fun, a church brother, miraculously emerged out of nowhere, standing right in front of my car and lent a helping hand! Thank God.

Why would he come by at such a perfect timing?! This is simply a plan of our Father in Heaven! Hallelujah! To add to its seriousness, I had been fetching alot of people with that car on that day itself, and God didn't let it break down back then to humiliate my driving skills. Thank you Lord.

Sounds like a boring testimony since it's not some huge miracles, but I do think we should give glory to God in everything we do. So c'mon guys, share with us any graces you all have received, as simple and small as this! Every little thing is a good testimony to glorify God!

The Neglected Society


Bro Chin's sermon tonight pricked me regarding our obligation to help the needy, and to serve the society. Actually, I had always wanted to contribute to the society by volunteering in welfare centres like Old Folks' homes, Orphanages or Hospitals. Jesus had laid a perfect example. Look, he didn't just serve the synagogues back then, right? Instead, he traveled afar to help the poor and needy, some were not even Jews/Israelites. This fountain of grace was poured even upon the Gentiles, on whom Jesus was not initially "sent for"(Mat15:24).
In the spiritual realm,
we are the priests of God, the children of light, (1Pet2:9).
We owned an extraordinary status in the eyes of God. And yea, we are NO ordinary people.
However, in the material world,
I am still a Malaysian subjected to the Malaysian Law and Justice.
I am a part of the multiracial society, a part of the human community.
Deep inside there is an obligation of patriotism. An urge to encourage 1Malaysia~

And a will to stretch out to the neglected part of the society.

Let's not hesitate to offer yourselves to the service to the Nation,
as that is also the will of God,
(Js 1:27 look after orphans and widows in their distress).
They live in loneliness and pain, yet have hardly uttered a murmur about their distress.


Let's stretch out to them with the love of Christ.

God Knows

Source: Voices of Children, TrueJesusChurch
Was there, in the Dimensions of Formlessness
a niche to hide the Guilt of the Archangel?
Was there, by a near-perfect mightiness,
a way to conceal a hint of Lucifer's Arrogance?

Was there a Fortress strong enough,
to shield a shameful king from the Eyes of the Almighty?
Was there an Army strong and loyal,
to shield David from God's Anger?

Was there a Darkness so thick and encompassing,
or a Mammon-craving traitor so deft,
Was there a Plot so intricate,
for Jesus to be oblivious of Judas' intentions?

Before Time began, and Beginning built its tent,
God knows.

Before Genesis unveiled her story,
and Heavens and Earth were empty,
yet still, God knows.
Before Abraham laid a foot outside Ur,
on God alone his faith was anchored.
Before Paul made entrance into Jerusalem,
the Spirit alone was his compass.

Before Tomorrow crawls into Today,
and The Day after Tomorrow warns Tomorrow,
God knows.
For He shares our every joy,
and banishes our every sorrow.

we forgive our debtors, You forgive our debts. That's OUR deal. ^^



Strange,
I was aimlessly keying in "Rom 2:3" just
for any biblical websites,
and its content happened to be about judgment. I gaped, jaw-dropped. Did God just let that happen to mold my thoughts?

"So when you, a mere man, pass judgment on them and yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God's judgment?" Rom2:3
I judged my friend(s), and sometimes I might just make the same mistakes they did. And won't I also be judged for the sake of God's justice?
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged." (Mat 7:1)
And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins."(Mk 11:25)
For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father
will also forgive you.(Mat6:14)

Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me? Up to seven times?”

Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.

But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.(Mat6:15)

Didn't I ever sin and commit wrongs against both man and God?
Didn't I fail to keep my promises to both man and God?
If I pour contempt on an honest apology, won't my apology be despised too?
If I judge others for what they did wrong, won't I be judged too?
I am not sinless; actually I am a huge sinner, yet Jesus bore it all for me.


Won't I bear with that tiny offense just to do myself a favour, as Jesus bore with much greater offenses, much greater crimes, much greater sins, much greater pain and sufferings, much greater heartaches?

As Emotions battle with the Bible,
my bet is in the Bible.
