The epistle of Paul the Apostle to Titus (Part 1)

God bless u all dear frens & brothers & sisters! :) What a wonderful morning & may your morning be blessed with peace, love , joy & hope in Christ Jesus! Jesus is definitely coming back & He won't tarry anymore. If the world had known, they would have repented & immed Jesus will come back & save us all. He isn't coming back yet bcos He is still merciful & giving time to people to believe & repent & confess that He is the Son of God. There's a limit to everything altho God is infinite. We shouldn't push people or things or even God too far. I pray for all the bullying in the world to stop & for all to come in peace to God. I pray for God's help on the bullied, oppressed & persecuted minority, that He will vindicate them & stop all the mouths of the enemies. I pray for peace & love & joy in S'pore. Join me & so many others to pray for God's mercy & salvation to come into people's hearts here. Pray for less anger & judgementalism but pray for more mercy & truth in the church, govt, society & everywhere. God bless you all richly for your prayers! :)

Pls read the book of Titus if u have a bible. Very clear instructions to believers in Christ esp the leadership. "For a bishop must be blameless, as a steward of God, not self-willed, not quick-tempered, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money, but hospitable, a lover of what is good, sober-minded, just, holy, self-controlled, holding fast the faithful word as he has been taught, that he may be able, by sound doctrine, both to exhort & convict those who contradict." Titus 1:7-9 (NKJV).

Are the foll verses telling what is happening in church today? U judge for yourselves. "For there r many insubordinate, both idle talkers & deceivers, esp those of the circumcision, whose MOUTHS MUST BE STOPPED, WHO SUBVERT WHOLE HOUSEHOLDS, TEACHING THINGS WHICH THEY OUGHT NOT, FOR THE SAKE OF DISHONEST GAIN." Titus 1:10-11. Pray for God to silence their mouths so they can't subvert & pervert people anymore. "This testimony is true. Therefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith, not giving heed to Jewish fables & commandments of men who turn from the truth...etc etc" Pls read further for yourselves in Titus 1:13-16.

But don't go around condemning anyone now but check ourselves first & repent & come back to God first. Then will we be right to rebuke others. But i think ppl r hardened already so all we do is just pray fervently to God for His help by His Holy Spirit. Maybe that's all one can do sometimes. Time is running short. Try to work quietly with our own hands if poss, redeeming the time for it is evil. The devil & his demons have launched full scale attack already, causing chaos & madness in church & beyond. BUT GOD IS ALMIGHTY & ALL KNOWING & ALL LOVING AS WELL. NO MATTER HOW PPL TRY TO BULLY US OR EVEN KILL US, GOD WILL REPAY THEM BACK. THEY WILL HAVE TO EAT OF THE FRUIT OF WHAT THEY DID TO OTHERS, BE IT DISCRIMINATION, HATRED, BULLYING, PERSECUTION, OPPRESSION & OTHER FORMS OF WICKEDNESS. ALL THESE WILL FALL BACK ON THEM & THEIR FAMILIES & THEY WILL LIKELY REGRET. EVEN KING SAUL'S FAMILY WAS SLAUGHTERED ALTHO HE WAS GOD'S ANOINTED & JONATHAN WAS INNOCENT & PROTECTED DAVID ALL ALONG. JUST A REMINDER TO ALL CHRISTIANS & NON CHRISTIANS-GOD SEES EVERYTHING EVEN OUR SECRET DEEDS W/C NO ONE KNOWS. YES, WE MAY BE GOD'S ANOINTED BUT LOOK WHAT HAPPENED TO KING SAUL IN THE END-MADNESS & DEATH TO WHOLE FAMILY. IF WE R SMART, WE WILL TAKE STOCK OF WHAT WE R DOING & STOP & REPENT B4 TOO LATE. OR DISASTER MIGHT JUST STRIKE US & FAMILY MEMBERS NO MATTER HOW INNOCENT THEY R. THINK FOR THE FUTURE GEN. GOD BLESS YOU ALL! :)
