Philip's Dream Team

This upcoming state election; just days away must be the hottest one in Sarawak. It’s really tense and the battle rages on. Being a Sarawakian I want the best for my beloved homeland. So I pray this day…..




Our Father in heaven, I ask that godly leaders be raised into positions where they govern with wisdom. May they be like Joseph who helped prosper the nation. May they be like Daniel, fearless in standing for Your cause. May they be great leaders like Moses and Joshua. May our women leaders be highly favoured like Mary and Esther.

May those who get elected be reminded to serve the rakyat humbly . May they be man/woman of their word… keeping their promises and walking the talk.

Help our leaders to have a heart for the poor, lowly, disabled , sick and the down and out. May they be sacrificial in their serving … doing out of love and compassion and not personal glory or gain. Lord, show our leaders how to implement policies that directly benefit them without burdening them.

Grant the elected a mindset to be good stewards of the trust which the rakyat have placed upon them. Help them focus on doing what is right and honourable.

May they be free from the love of money which corrupts. Keep them in the fold of integrity and sincerity.

Lord we also ask for Your forgiveness in the areas we have erred. We ask for forgiveness for not being good stewards and for all the sins committed which have not glorified Your name.

For this election, we ask Father for Your Holy Spirit to move in the hearts of the people. May we choose wisely, without fear or intimidation. Send forth your angels O Lord to fight for righteousness. May Your angels be at every polling station to guard against any unscrupulous acts. In Jesus name we bind all evil tactics. May righteousness prevail for good always triumphs over evil.

In Jesus most precious name I pray , AMEN.

With the battle so fiercely fought , we must be on our knees. We all want a better future and a better tomorrow for our children and the generations to come. May the Land of the Hornbill be a place where we can all live harmoniously with each other and with nature.

God help us and grant us His Grace & Mercy.

I wonder whether this happens to your family or not but it does to mine. Normally after I put the laundry in the washing machine, I would place the laundry basket at the side of the stairs ..reminding that whosoever is going upstairs to bring it up. But what usually happens is that my hubby n kids would walk right by it and head upstairs without bringing it along. It really vexed me so I decided to place it right smack in the middle of the stairs. But it didn't work either. They would walk around it and be completely oblivious to it.

Sometimes I think we are like that when it comes to obeying God's word. He spelled out the instructions/commandments clearly in the Bible but we either fail to see it or we navigate around it .. not paying heed to His word for one reason or another.

We know that He said “ Do not let the sun set on your anger.” yet many a times in marriage this happens. This allows the devil to have a foothold in our lives. And then we wonder why marriages are not as good as it should be. God also says that we should esteem and look upon and be concerned for not our own interests but also the interests of others. Yet we find that in some marriages, one of the partners expect to have his needs and wants met at the expense of another. The wife or the husband becomes a tool to be used instead of someone to be cherished and loved.

The Word of God is alive, a double edged sword, filled with heavenly wisdom and useful for righteous living in any situation. Let not His word be like the invisible laundry basket where it can be easily missed eventho it is obviously infront of us.

Marriage takes effort. It becomes less effort when we obey His word together. We are blessed to celebrate our 17th wedding anniversary recently. God has taught us many things about each other and how to dance the marriage waltz without stepping on each others' toes too much.

We wanted to have dinner at Magenta but they had a private function so we adjourned to Magna Carta. We still had a good dinner . Heather was busy trying out her phototaking skills.
