Don’t Forfeit your Harvest

“The farmer sows the word. The ones by the road are the ones where the word is sown; and when they have heard, immediately Satan comes, and takes away the word which has been sown in them. These in the same way are those who are sown on the rocky places, who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with joy. They have no root in themselves, but are short-lived. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they stumble. Others are those who are sown among the thorns. These are those who have heard the word, and the cares of this age, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. Those which were sown on the good ground are those who hear the word, and accept it, and bear fruit, some thirty times, some sixty times, and some one hundred times.”” (Mark‬ ‭4:14-20‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

No matter what tactics the enemy uses, his goal is the same: to prevent God’s word from producing a good harvest in your life.

When he snatches it away quickly, it could be as simple as when you are not paying attention during a sermon because of using your smartphone to scroll through social media. As a result, you did not even hear most of what the preacher was saying.

If that does not work, Satan can choose the forceful method or the soft method. He either comes like a roaring lion or a fowler.

The lion method would be to intimidate you into giving up on God’s promises. For example, you might have started trusting God for a breakthrough in your finances, but the enemy deliberately sends many unforeseen bills your way. Appliances at home start breaking down, and freak injuries or illnesses happen, leading to expensive medical bills. These are some ways Satan roars so that you lose trust in God for provision.

On the other hand, the fowler method would be to set traps to lure you into worldly things. He wants you obsessed and distracted with the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life. This way, you will lose focus on God’s word and the seed that stops being watered in your heart will not produce a harvest.

For example, he may get you obsessed with politics, entertainment, earning money, lewdness, so that your mind is never on God’s word. If you keep leaving a plant unattended and in dry weather, it will wither away.

Only Christians who patiently persevere through all these dirty tactics of the enemy will experience a good harvest from having faith in God’s word.

Obviously the enemy knows the power of God’s word and that is why he tries his best to stop you from having faith in it.

The devil knows that once God’s word produces harvests in your life, he will have to relinquish any hold he had in that area. Try as he might, he is defenseless against God’s power.

Hearing God’s word, believing it, and speaking it over yourself may seem like such over-preached truths, but that is because God’s way for us is just that simple. Jesus completed all the hard work at the cross, and now we get to restfully reap the benefits of what He did for us.

It is easy to say, “I know this already,” but the question is: are you really doing it consistently? Ask yourself this and if this message stirs up your faith to get back on the right track of voraciously hearing and hearing God’s word, then its purpose is done!

My eBook bundle, “Understand the Four Gospels Through the Lens of Grace”, is packed with revelations from the four gospels and also the Book of Acts. Difficult passages are explained in a clear and easy-to-understand way. You can finally know the meanings of Jesus’ parables, miracles, words, and deeds. I’ve received great reviews from readers, saying how much they enjoyed the eBooks. Get it here: https://bit.ly/understandeveryparable

The art of mothering is to teach the art of living to her children. On this day, my wish to my beautiful @xcalikins , to live her life voraciously with meaningful purpose. To always be grounded in values, possess strength in character, practise compassion and accept life’s gifts in humility.

距離上一張專輯發行過了11個月後，泰勒絲正式釋出(officially release)他的第八張專輯“folklore”。
他強調因為受到全球疫情(global pandemic)的影響下，這張專輯在一開始是透過遠端撰寫和錄音(written and recorded remotely)。
他也說在製作這張專輯的過程裡，他在自我隔離當中獲得了許多靈感(find inspiration in isolation)。
有別於上一張專輯的流行音樂(pop music)和現代感，這張新專輯更讓我們回想到以前那個拿起一把吉他自彈自唱的泰勒絲。
在這張全新專輯(brand-new album)裡，其實有很多生活化的單字供我們學習。接下來讓我們一起在進入全新的folklore時代(era)的同時，一起學單字吧！

In this episode, we went down to Hand in Hand Restaurant at Boat Quay to demolish a Dumpling Challenge! Hand in Hand is a restaurant that serves a variety of Chinese cuisine including Peking Duck and Fried Rice, but are renowned for their Xiao Long Bao and Dumplings. They have 2 outlets in Singapore, with the one at Boat Quay actually specialising in Peking Duck.

For this challenge, I ordered 10 servings each of their Dumplings and Xiao Long Bao, and told them to keep them coming. I started with the Dumplings, which were bigger than most dumplings I have had in Singapore. They were filled with shrimp and leek, with noticeable chunks of shrimp dotted throughout each dumpling. As they were fried, they were pleasantly crunchy on the outside while moist and juicy on the inside. The filling-to-wrapper ratio was very generous, which is particularly unexpected for such a large dumpling. Dipped in soya sauce, they were a treat to eat and I was relishing every bite.

Next, I tried their famous Xiao Long Bao. Steamed to perfection, each ball of joy was filled with a soupy, savoury filling that explodes in your mouth when you bite into them. As Xiao Long Bao are generally small in size, they easily fit entirely into your mouth and can be devoured quickly. Topped with soya sauce and ginger, they are the quintessential Chinese snack food suitable for most palates. Hand in Hand lives up their reputation of being an excellent Dumpling and Xiao Long Bao restaurant and my usually light-eating crew voraciously ate dozens of them.

Naturally, it became difficult towards the end even with the help I was getting, but this was one of the rare occasions where I enjoyed the bulk of the challenge and would certainly visit again for regular meal. This place would certainly be on my list of best Dumplings and Xiao Long Bao in Singapore.

Do visit Hand in Hand restaurant for their excellent Dumplings and Xiao Long Bao!

There are so many gurus and experts giving you different ways of setting goals. So how do you set goals and actually achieve them? In this video, Dan and Andres Pira, CEO of Blue Horizon Developments, discusses how to ACTUALLY set goals. Watch this video now to discover it.

Andres Pira started as a homeless man on a beach in Thailand. Desperate for survival, he asked a close friend if he could borrow some money. All he got was, "I won't give you any money, but I'll give you a book that might help you." Both hungry and angry from the response, Andres voraciously read the book on an empty stomach. That one book gave him the "attraction" mindset, and he started snowballing out of poverty to then becoming the CEO of Blue Horizon Developments. Today, he is the winner of 2 Property Awards and 1 Best of the Best Developer Award.

Not long ago, Dan Lok was just a poor immigrant boy. He had nothing but a strong desire to get out of debt and make enough to provide for his single mom. With this strong desire, Dan quit his job as a grocery bagger. He dropped out of college. And he became an entrepreneur.

After 13 failed businesses, Dan finally became a self-made millionaire at age 27 and multi-millionaire by age 30.

Fast forward to today, Dan is now an official Forbes Book author with over 13 internationally best-selling books. He’s the founder and chairman of several multimillion dollar businesses.
