Honduras, Be Ready!

 God inspired me to write these words on 13 April 2021, 8:50am in Honduras when I was in this beautiful land.  I had arrived on 10 April 2021 and as my Honduran brother-in-Christ, Dany, met and drove me from the airport, I sensed such a deep spirit of depression and silence over this land.  When we drove to other parts of Honduras, this was also the sense I experienced.  The joy was lacking and this broke my heart.

God also gave me Psalm 18 for dear Honduras which is so precious in His sight.  Do listen to Honduras, be Ready!


Honduras, be ready!
Joy seems to have taken a walk
Away from Honduras.
The people have been dealt with a heavy blow
 through natural heavy floods that flowed
Destroying livelihoods.
The warning is real to Hondurans
To expect  another season without the sun.

You have only one recourse,
To cry out to God to be restored.
Just like the psalmist cried out,
“The LORD dealt with me according to my righteousness;
 according to the cleanness of my hands he rewarded me. “
For if the church will rise up now in the power of God,
Even the mountains will move, the weather will be changed,
The floods will not rage and darkness will flee.

Come Honduras, back to your knees
For you are a land of milk and honey.
Come Honduras, back to your Heavenly Father. 
Sit at His feet and be acknowledged as righteous 
Through the only Savior, Jesus the Christ.
Come Honduras, get ready quickly 
For the coming of the Bridegroom is very near.


¡Honduras, prepárate!
La alegría parece ser que fue a dar un paseo
Lejos de Honduras.
La gente ha recibido un fuerte golpe
 a través de las inundaciones naturales fuertas que fluyó
Destruyendo los medios de vida.
La advertencia es real para los hondureños
En Esperar otra temporada sin sol.

Sólo tienes un recurso,
Clamar a Dios para que restablezca.
Asi como el salmista proclamó,
"El Señor se ocupó de mí de acuerdo con mi justicia;
 de acuerdo con la limpieza de mis manos me premió. "
Porque si la iglesia se levanta ahora con el poder de Dios,
Incluso las montañas se moverán, el clima cambiará,
Las inundaciones no se enfurecerán y la oscuridad huirá.

Ven Honduras, de rodillas
Porque eres una tierra de leche y miel.
Ven Honduras, regresa a tu Padre Celestial. 
Siéntate a Sus pies y sé reconocido como justo 
Por medio del único Salvador, Jesucristo.
Ven Honduras, prepárate rápido 
Para la llegada del Novio que está muy cerca.



Psalm 18: 27-30
For you save a humble people,
but the haughty eyes you bring down.
For it is you who light my lamp;
the LORD my God lightens my darkness.
For by you I can run against a troop,
and by my God I can leap over a wall.
This God—his way is perfect;
the word of the LORD proves true;
he is a shield for all those who take refuge in him.


Blessings,
Rachel R

One Woman's Personal Perspective on the Trump Presidency and the Women's March

Image
Alright, it's my perspective and it's true, not alternative fact. You can deny it all you want but you cannot deny my thoughts or experience and the right to ask some deep questions. You also cannot deny that I love Christ and the people of the nations. Trump's Presidency My prayer times with God about the USA and Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton were painful and heart-wrenching. I wondered why, all of a sudden, I had God's heart for the USA. Being a prayer warrior, I knew why - I had to be on my knees for the USA and the new President. And I began to pray that God will expose all the lies, deceits and be so clear as to who His President should be. Without a doubt, three days before the Nov 8th election in 2016, I knew that Donald J Trump was going to be the President of the United States of America. But God's heart was too heavy for the USA. He was not lifting His hands yet. Thank you Jesus! And I knew that it would be landslide victory.

Being Quiet Amidst The Pandemic

Image
I have been quiet.  Quietly reading about the pandemic.  Quietly observing the mixture of fear of many in this Coronavirus crisis, the confidence of others as they meet this crisis headlong, the responses of various governments and the pain of those who have lost and are losing their loved ones. I have been quietly watching from various countries.  Yes, I might belong to the high-risk group due to my ministry travels.  Still, let me assure you that I imposed a 14-day stay-at-home rule on myself.  This is my personal contribution to combat COVID-19 responsibly. It is now Day 5 of my stay-at-home rule.  I live on my own.  When families are together and bonding, I can only watch them quietly from afar.  My advantage is that I do not have anyone else around me who may catch the virus IF I am a carrier.  So, I thank God for this disposition. I work a lot from home and there is much to do in the Kingdom of God despite COVID-19.  Here are some ways of how I use my extended stay-at-hom

Now What Do I Do About The Selected President of Singapore? - Some Personal Thoughts

Image
I guess there needed to be something I am passionate about to write a blog.  I am passionate about my country, Singapore.  And in the same breath, when once I was proud of the Singapore leaders, I hang my head in terrible shame.  And it all has to do with the Reserved Election which was no election at all! When I first heard about the Reserved Election, I thought hard and prayed about it as well.  And I was extremely upset that the leaders of Singapore will choose to force my choice.  On 15th November 2016, I wrote an email to the Prime Minister's Office registering clearly my concerns and non-support for the Reserved Election for various reasons.  See the major portion of my email addressed to the Prime Minister below: I have been following the intention to have a reserved election for the next President.  While the argument that Singapore should have a minority race President is noble, it also makes one (me) feel that as a Singaporean, I am not able to rise above racial iss
