Its been long...50th nationhood

Apologize for the long hault! I've been really busy and all, and i couldn't find a theme that i felt was worth jotting down.

I ask that you take a minute or 2 to read this

2 more days and Malaysia will be celebrating its 50th year of independance. I'm glad, i'm happy to be a Malaysian. I thank God for this, and its an added bonus to be a Christian here! But, looking back at this 50 years of development and struggle to rise up as one of the most respected country, one tends to reflect that the loop side of what the country is going through.

Many things in the past happened that does no pride to the country (Things of which i cannot mention here) But tiday, there are still incidents that has taken place that saddens my heart and hurts the image of the country, look into the news paper and you will know what i mean, : murders, rapes, robbery, wrong teachings, corruptions, unsound politics..these are just the tip of the ice-berk.

In today's paper, or rather yesterday's..there was a report in rumours of racial riots..its alarming, tho the PM has stated that it is not true, honestly looking at the title and reading the article really sends a cold shiver up my spine. Would we want another incident like tahat of May 13? Only a fool would do that!

For the past 17 days, the church has been coming togather every morning, to pray for a renewal of the nation, praying that corruption would stop. I know, some may say :" corruption is an unevitable thing it can't be avoided" well i think that is just bullshit, if people would just stop being greedy, then this Nation would have been a awesome leading nation.

Yet having said that, i strongly believe that God is still in control, and He is beginning to work something for this nation. He will only bring it to progression if His people, who are called by His name, would humble themself and seek His face.

My cry to God, is this:

Verse 1:

I've been running

Trying to be one who sees

I've been working this salvation

Out on my knees

There is nothing better than knowing

We are redeemed

Verse 2:

I'm believing

Trusting in creative hands

I am praying for our world

To bow to Your plan

And this one thought is unmistakable

To take up my cross

And follow You Lord

Chorus:

When You standThe tall trees and mountains bow

When You speakThe fiercest of oceans is still

And I see the sinner seek devotion

The lost become chosen

And I fall to my knees

Verse 3:

I'm forgiven

By a Saviour who did not deserve death

He was blameless

I was lost in shamefullnes

I'm delivered but it doesn't see right

Unless I keep my eyes focussed

On the Saviour who gave his life

Verse 4:

In the middle

Of a world that denies it believes

It is breaking apart at the very seams

There is one thing to be alive for

To take up my cross

And follow You Lord

Bridge:

I will take up my cross

And follow Lord where You lead me

I will take up my cross

nd follow wherever You go

* I might well be putting my arse on the line with this.

The good new of Christ, the Gospel of His Kingdom is for all, yes everyone in regardless of what race and religion you're in now. For Christianity is NOT a religion as many has viewed it, or as the world has generalised it. But rather Christianity is a relationship, a relationship between God and man build by the foundation of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

Offering eternal life, a place in heaven. This salvation and redemption can NEVER be earned by good works, but by the sacrificial love of Christ, His blood on the cross. There is hope, forgiveness, unconditional love, peace and mercy in Christ. How then can we have this eternal life if we can't earn it? Simple, just by asking Jesus into your life as your Lord and only Savior. Believing that He paid for all our sins on calvary.


A call to all Christians to pray..
