The Futurist Islam

Rarely we talk about the future trends of the world from an Islamic perspective.

Likewise, we rarely talk about the future of Islam from a global world view given the current and prevailing indicators and variables.

I intend to talk about analytics Islam using both big data and A.I. to chart the future of Islam.

吐瓦魯呼籲 承認台灣人民進入聯合國機構場域的權利

吐瓦魯總理拿塔諾表示聯合國成立的宗旨在於服務及保護全世界人民，所有人民進入此一國際大家庭，都不應受到阻礙，這是所有人民的權利，而非部份人民的特權。

台灣人民無法參訪聯合國及參與會議，台灣媒體和記者也未被允許入場採訪聯合國會議及活動，進入聯合國場域竟是以國籍而非以安全為考量，這是不具正當理由的，聯合國的公民空間和新聞自由正被限縮。

吐瓦魯呼籲，承認台灣人民進入聯合國機構場域的權利，允許台灣護照持有者進入聯合國場域，是台灣和台灣人民有意義參與聯合國體系的重要關鍵。

台灣的夥伴價值，值得聯合國重視。

Thanks to #Tuvalu Prime Minister Kausea Natano for his speech urging the UN to grant Taiwanese people and press access to UN premises during the General Debate of #UNGA76:

"Mr. President, I thank you for the recognition that to build resilience, we must respect the rights of people and that the UN must be revitalized to uphold the rights of all people of the world—people it was established to serve and protect.

On this very note, Tuvalu calls for the recognition of the rights of the people of Taiwan to the UN premises. The UN system was established to serve the public interest of all peoples. Having unhindered access to the family of nations should be a right for all, not a privilege for some.

It is most regrettable to see the ongoing injustice of Taiwanese people being barred from accessing UN premises for visits and meetings simply because the UN fails to recognize Republic of China (Taiwan) passports, which are, in fact, accepted by almost every country in the world. Likewise, Taiwanese media outlets and journalists cannot obtain accreditation to cover UN meetings and events.

It is alarming that civic space in the UN and freedom of the press are being restricted. It is also unjustifiable that a person’s access to UN premises now depends on nationality rather than on safety and security grounds. Granting Taiwanese passport holders access to UN premises is an essential step for the meaningful participation of Taiwan and the Taiwanese people in the UN system."

Taiwan's vision of global partnership can serve as a valuable reference for the UN.

How to Have God’s Faith

“Jesus replied, “Let the faith of God be in you! Listen to the truth I speak to you: If someone says to this mountain with great faith and having no doubt, ‘Mountain, be lifted up and thrown into the midst of the sea,’ and believes that what he says will happen, it will be done.” (Mark‬ ‭11:22-23‬ ‭TPT‬‬)

In the passage above, Jesus said the “faith of God” and not “faith in God”. If we want to perform mighty miracles like casting a mountain into the sea, we will need to receive God’s own faith.

“For I say, through the grace that was given me, to every man who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think reasonably, as God has apportioned to each person a measure of faith.” (Romans‬ ‭12:3‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

You see, there is the measure of faith that God already gave to us in the past, and also God’s own faith that He gives to believers at appointed timings.

The former is the one that we keep free from unbelief through daily renewing of the mind, while the latter is more powerful because it is pure and guaranteed to mightily prosper in its intended purpose.

“But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the profit of all. For to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom, and to another the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit; to another faith, by the same Spirit; and to another gifts of healings, by the same Spirit; and to another workings of miracles; and to another prophecy; and to another discerning of spirits; to another different kinds of languages; and to another the interpretation of languages. But the one and the same Spirit produces all of these, distributing to each one separately as he desires.” (1 Corinthians‬ ‭12:7-11‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Faith is one of the manifestations of the Holy Spirit. He distributes this “faith of God” at times. Every believer can receive this.

To understand when this God-faith comes, we have to know the delivery system:

“Faith, then, is birthed in a heart that responds to God’s anointed utterance of the Anointed One.” (Romans‬ ‭10:17‬ ‭TPT‬‬)

Many English Bible translations do a poor job of translating the verse above. They stray from the original Greek meaning. However, I like the translation I quoted above.

The words translated as “anointed utterance” in Greek is “rhematos” which means “a spoken word”. “The Anointed One” is Christou, which is Christ.

“Rhematos Christou” is not referring to God’s written Scriptures in general. That one would be the logos word, or “what God has said before”. The rhema word is talking about what Christ is currently actively saying to you through His Spirit inside you.

When Jesus speaks a rhema word to you, it carries God’s authority. When you hear and act upon that word, the “faith of God” is imparted to you for mighty power to be released. This is when miracles and breakthroughs flow.

Let us see this in action:

“Peter answered him and said, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the waters.” He said, “Come!” Peter stepped down from the boat, and walked on the waters to come to Jesus.” (Matthew‬ ‭14:28-29‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Jesus said “Come,” and this rhema word carried the authority for Peter to transcend the natural laws of nature. When Peter heard the command and acted upon it, the “faith of God” was imparted to him, empowering him to walk on the waters.

You may be surprised by this, but even Jesus depended on the rhema word from His Father during His earthly ministry.

“Jesus therefore answered them, “Most certainly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father doing. For whatever things he does, these the Son also does likewise. For the Father has affection for the Son, and shows him all things that he himself does. He will show him greater works than these, that you may marvel.” (John‬ ‭5:19-20‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Before doing any miracle, Jesus first received the rhema word from the Father, and He simply obeyed, acting upon what the Father showed Him.

When Jesus acted upon the rhema word, God’s power flows because the authority, faith, and will of God are working in perfect synergy.

It is therefore most crucial that we ask the Lord to give us the rhema word for our situation. To receive it, you can calm your emotions and pray about your situation, listening in silence to see what the Holy Spirit brings to your attention.

Other than that, sometimes He uses your pastor or Christian friend to speak divinely inspired words to you. The Holy Spirit is the source of the rhema word. The way He delivers it isn’t the most important thing, so be open to however He chooses to convey the rhema word to you.

When it comes, grab hold of it in your heart, and act upon it, for it is the key to unlock God’s supernatural provision in your situation!

The 37 recorded miracles of Jesus Christ in the four gospels show us God’s heart of love and Grace towards us. As you explore them in “Messiah’s Miracles”, faith will arise in your heart to receive miraculous breakthroughs in your own life: https://bit.ly/messiahs-miracles

Happy Reformation Day! Today, we want to celebrate not just one, but two really special events.

Many of us know that on Oct 31st, 1517, German monk and scholar Martin Luther set in motion the first Grace Revolution (since the time of the Apostles) when he nailed his Ninety-five Theses to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany.

In a time when church tradition demanded that Christians pay for their salvation by their own works, his theses marked the beginning of believers all over the world rediscovering the true gospel of Jesus Christ—which declares that we are saved and justified by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone.

As we commemorate Reformation Day, let’s take a moment to truly honor and appreciate our Lord Jesus for all that He accomplished at the cross for us. Because of Him, you and I can come boldly to the throne of grace and find grace in time of need (Heb. 4:16).

Interestingly, something happened on Reformation Day on October 31st, 1992. A prophetic minister, Paul Cain, held an event at the National Indoor Stadium in Singapore.

During the event, Paul Cain called out a young man from the crowd, asking him to stand. He prophesied over him, declaring, "The Lord said that you are going to be one of His fiery evangelists."

That young man was not seated in the front section with all the other pastors and leaders from various churches in Singapore. He was just an ordinary attendee seated somewhere in the crowd.

And yet, he was singled out by the Lord through Paul Cain.

That young man was Pastor Prince.

We thought you might want to watch the prophecy that was spoken over Pastor Prince that night, and so we’ve included the full video together with this post.

While it was witnessed by thousands of people who were present at the stadium, none of them could have imagined how the Lord would raise this man, whom we now know and love as our beloved pastor, to be such a powerful voice for the gospel of grace in our generation.

Likewise, we want you to know that you have a purpose, calling, and mission that only you can fulfill.

Even if this has been a very difficult and challenging season for you, hold fast to the promises and prophesies that have been spoken over your life—and may you fulfill your great and wonderful destiny in Christ.

Your best days are ahead of you.

Lots of love,
Team JP

The other four aspects of human existence --
feeling, thought, will, and consciousness --
are likewise nothing more than emptiness,
and emptiness nothing more than they.

All things are empty:
Nothing is born, nothing dies,
nothing is pure, nothing is stained,
nothing increases and nothing decreases.

So, in emptiness, there is no body,
no feeling, no thought,
no will, no consciousness.
There are no eyes, no ears,
no nose, no tongue,
no body, no mind.
There is no seeing, no hearing,
no smelling, no tasting,
no touching, no imagining.
There is nothing seen, nor heard,
nor smelled, nor tasted,
nor touched, nor imagined.

There is no ignorance,
and no end to ignorance.
There is no old age and death,
and no end to old age and death.
There is no suffering, no cause of suffering,
no end to suffering, no path to follow.
There is no attainment of wisdom,
and no wisdom to attain.

The Bodhisattvas rely on the Perfection of Wisdom,
and so with no delusions,
they feel no fear,
and have Nirvana here and now.

All the Buddhas,
past, present, and future,
rely on the Perfection of Wisdom,
and live in full enlightenment.

The Perfection of Wisdom is the greatest mantra.
It is the clearest mantra,
the highest mantra,
the mantra that removes all suffering.

This is truth that cannot be doubted.
Say it so:

Gaté,
gaté,
paragaté,
parasamgaté.
Bodhi!
Svaha!

Which means...
Gone,
gone,
gone over,
gone fully over.
Awakened!
So be it!
