this is going to be a long post... if you dont have the time, come back later...haha



i was talking to floflo last night on9... and the question "what do you wanna be in TEN years time" came up...in ten years time i'd be 31... wow... old man...haha

but wel for me, career wise, i wanna be in the process of getting accredited...

family wise, hopefully, seriously hopefully..lol, i'd be expecting my first child~!! =)

and i told floflo... if it is a girl i wanna name her Jubilee... if it is a boy... i will just let the mother decide..haha... but yea Jubilee..=)

she asked me why... i said it's because of what Jubilee means to me... freedom, glad tidings and celebration.... below is what Pastor Joel Osteen said about Jubilee at Hillsong Conference 2009...

"every fiftieth year was a very significant year.. it was called the year of Jubilee..it was a time of great celebration...most ppl back then, they only experience it once every lifetime and what made this year of Jubilee so significant was because....in this year, all the debts wil be canceled...all the slaves would be set free...all the servants, they would be released to go back to their original homes, be reunited with their families...not only that, all the property would be returned back to their original owners..

"for instance, if you sold your home years back cos u needed the money..and somebody pays you rent year after year...perhaps they even paid the property off. it didnt matter..in this fiftieth year, if it had your name on it.or your families' name on it... it would be returned back to you...

"it was a year that everybody looked forward to...a year of release...release from debt.. release from captivity.. release from unfair situations.... you could be working hard night and day... struggling year after year...but you knew if you could just make it to Jubilee, everything will be okay... Jubilee is coming...

"as great as Jubilee was, the great prophet Isaiah prophesied that something that was coming that was even better... he said, "the Spirit of LORD is upon me, to announce the year of God's favour / a day where the free favour of God profusely abounds.." Isaiah was saying there was a day coming, it's not here just yet..but there will be a day where God's people dont have to wait fifty years for Jubilee... but they can live IN Jubilee...

"many years later.. Jesus quoted this same passage...but he said," I'm not here to announce like the prophet Isaiah that Jubilee is coming. I'm here to declare that Jubilee has arrived."...and because of what Jesus has done, you and i dont have to wait 20 years to be blessed...you dont have to wait ten years to be free... you dont have to wait 5 years for God's favour...no, friends, this is your year of Jubilee...

"God is saying to you, this is your year to be released from every bondage...this is your year to be released from debt..to be released from sickness... to be released from addictions... to be released from depression... to be released from anything that is holding you back.. not only that, everything that has your name on it... God is saying that this is d year that He wanna restore that back to you... He wants to restore the business... restore the property... restore the dreams.. restore the health... this is your year to see the free favour of God profusely abound in you...

So yea, Jubilee..=)

i think it's just beautiful..haha...floflo agrees too..=)

but then floflo was saying if my family name is Lee.. then won't the gal be - Jubilee Lee? LOL.... well, we'll crack that nut later...

i just know that this year is my year of Jubilee... it's like suddenly life makes so much more sense... i cant really say how but i just know it in my soul...

i just know in my soul that this time i cant go wrong because i am letting God take control... i just know in my soul that this time it will be okay.. i dont have to be afraid.. just let go... and God will show the way...

it's like this year, the past doesnt matter anymore... because i can see the future.. a future of bright glory... a future waiting for my arrival... it's not a dream... i can see it.. but i just have to work it.. and walk towards it...

and everything that the enemy stole from me, i am claiming it back..


oh i went to the enemy's camp
and i took back what he stole from me
yes i took back what he stole from me
Oh i took back what he stole from me

he's under my feet
he's under my feet
he's under my feet
satan is under my feet

Enemy's Camp
