Gong Xi Fa Cai - Asking for Blessing!!!

In this Festive Season of Lunar Chinese New Year, as Chinese, we sub-consciously wish for blessing of various forms, wealth, health, success, intimacy, renewal, growth in our personal life. Don't we all ask for those, regardless of our cultural festive seasons..?

Greetings of Blessing filled the air, as cliché as how its been utter over the years, we still pray and wish that somehow we could see some of it coming through.

So what's in for us in this Dragon CNY.? We are always reminded that our requests and petitions had not gone unheard. That we can be sure that if we believe and ask in God's will, He listens to us

Psalm 5:3

In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice;

in the morning I lay my requests before you

and wait in expectation

And the 'Blessing' has for us are not mere earthly inheritance that satisfies only the flesh and are temporary. When we experience that Joy of His revelation in our endeavour to draw close to Him, He rewards "those who earnestly seek Him" and "our joy will be complete".

Jeremiah 33:3

3 'Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and

unsearchable things you do not know.'

Lastly, let not our 'blessing' be limited to ourselves, make use of all opportunities to (Colossians 4:5-6) share with the people we come in contact with this Festive season... Let's start praying for all indiscriminately, that God's Kingdom may be known through us. That CNY will be different for them through us.

1 Timothy 2:1-2

1 I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone - 2 for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.

Looking at the larger picture, our freedom should not be taken for granted, pray for our Government and even in a global sense, cause we are all in "it"...

May God bless us all in this Dragon - Chinese New Year...Amen!!
