Jesus Came to Fulfill, Not to Destroy
““Don’t think that I came to destroy the law or the prophets. I didn’t come to destroy, but to fulfill. For most certainly, I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not even one smallest letter or one tiny pen stroke shall in any way pass away from the law, until all things are accomplished.” (Matthew 5:17-18 WEB)
Even though I write that we are not supposed to keep the Law of Moses today, I am not calling the Law evil or making it seem like something bad.
The Law shows God’s holiness, revealing that only perfection is acceptable to God. Anything short of God’s glory is unrighteous.
Jesus did not come to destroy the Law. He didn’t say, “Oh Israel, I guess this is too hard for you to keep. It’s okay, let Me snap My fingers and cancel this Law. Let’s forget about it okay?”
No, Jesus came to fulfill the Law on our behalf. The requirements of the Law can be summed up by the following verse:
“Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul who sins, he shall die.” (Ezekiel 18:4 WEB)
Sin is a crime that demands the penalty of death. God is holy, so He must punish sin.
However, God also loves us, so how can He spare us and yet justly punish sin?
The answer is the cross. God the Father placed all our sins upon His Son Jesus Christ, and punished Him fully in our place, so that the wages of sin which the Law requires was fully paid by Jesus’ death. The divine, sinless blood which He shed is worth much more than all the sins of the world throughout the passage of time.
So for us who have faith in Jesus, the issue of sin is settled. We are forgiven. He has fulfilled the Law’s requirements on our behalf, making us righteous.
However, the Law will not pass away until God creates a new Heaven and new earth at the end of time. The Law still has a purpose to be met.
“For there is no partiality with God. For as many as have sinned without law will also perish without the law. As many as have sinned under the law will be judged by the law. For it isn’t the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law will be justified (for when Gentiles who don’t have the law do by nature the things of the law, these, not having the law, are a law to themselves, in that they show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience testifying with them, and their thoughts among themselves accusing or else excusing them) in the day when God will judge the secrets of men, according to my Good News, by Jesus Christ.” (Romans 2:11-16 WEB)
At the Great White Throne judgment, Jesus will sit as judge, and the unbelievers will be judged based on their conscience if they are Gentiles, and by the Law (Ten Commandments) if they are Jews.
Jesus has record books of their works, and will measure out the appropriate degree of punishment before they are cast into the lake of fire. Each unsaved soul will experience a different level of torment based on the works they have done in their lifetime. Of course, the one screaming the loudest will be Satan.
“I saw a great white throne, and him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. There was found no place for them. I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and they opened books. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged out of the things which were written in the books, according to their works. The sea gave up the dead who were in it. Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them. They were judged, each one according to his works. Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. If anyone was not found written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.” (Revelation 20:11-15 WEB)
After that final judgment, when all humans, fallen angels, and Nephilim giants have been judged and sentenced to their appropriate eternal abodes, then the Law will pass away. At that point in time, all things will be accomplished, and eternity will begin. Christ shall reign supreme and be all in all.
For us who believe, the future is bright. Read this passage which will happen after the Law has passed away:
“I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth have passed away, and the sea is no more. I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband. I heard a loud voice out of heaven saying, “Behold, God’s dwelling is with people, and he will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away from them every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; neither will there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more. The first things have passed away.”” (Revelation 21:1-4 WEB)

【給自己一個機會紅起來】❤️
Give Yourself A Chance To Shine
如果說宇宙的力量可以分為五種,那那五種力量就是金、木、水、火和土了。
世界萬物萬事都能以這五行去分類,而每個人的八字就是這五行的獨特混合體。這混合體遇到外在人事物的五行力量時,就會產生不同的吉凶禍福局面。
我個人經驗是,就算有著同樣八字的雙胞胎,也不會有一模一樣的命運,因為面相有細微之分,姓名的字義、音韻、筆畫和含義也會有不同的靈動力,影響著雙胞胎的命運。
看命,關鍵就在於找出自己需要的五行是什麼。這很考經驗,不是把八字裡的五行加減乘除一番就能斷出。如果這第一步搞錯,全盤的分析就會錯得一塌糊塗了。
在捉準需要的五行後,再來就是引導客人如何在衣食住行方面去補運,進而趨吉避凶。坦白說,如果客人不照著做,其實來看命也沒什麼意思。
知道未來好或不好,然後就聽天由命嗎?那豈不是只是花錢,來聽我說出你人生電視連續劇的劇透而已嗎?
我見了那麼多客人後,自己有個感想。如果人生一切都很安好,但自己就是開心不起來,這樣活著如行屍走肉,太痛苦了。
在批八字時,我都會告訴客人該用什麼顏色來旺自己。不要小看色彩學,每個顏色都有它們的五行。我也多次以色彩學,幫助一些客人應徵成功,在疫情期間依然能奏效。
但在七彩繽紛的顏色當中,只要我一提到紅色,客人們的反應普遍都很大。
什麼?那麼亮啊?
我的老婆說看不慣我穿這色!
那不是天天過年嗎?
我以前的命理師也是這麼說,
但我就是沒有做。
我的答案:你穿了幾十年這樣的顏色,也不見得你好。想命好一點,何不試一下我說的顏色?
紅能分出深淺、濃淡、明暗和不同的色度。沒有人叫你每天穿得像紅包似的。你每天穿黑,也不見得你像包青天那般的黑白分明。
附上A小姐和B先生「走紅」後的個別見證。
寫這電郵見證的B先生,在九月與我做了個後續諮詢。我遠遠看到他時,就已在想,怎麼身上絲毫沒有改變,而且還一副苦瓜臉?
他說,當初我三月見他時,他剛買了一堆衣服。顏色雖不利他,但他不捨得丟,而且老婆也不支持他穿紅色。公司裡的人也都是穿暗色的。
我說,那些新衣你也穿了幾個月了,可以拿去捐給有需要的人,佈施也不算浪費。老婆固然好意,但命是你自己的,你痛苦只有你自己知。
對待自己的命運,我們應該持有科學家的研究精神。你不去做這個實驗,你永遠不會知道我說的到底對不對。做這個實驗不難,不妨叫你的太太給你一個機會去改變。
換衣服顏色而已,又不是叫你換老婆。😂
與其內心糾結直到頭腦打結,我永遠選擇踏出第一步試一下。Never try, never know.
我一生人經歷了那麼多起起落落,老實告訴大家,命好起來時,心豁然開朗時,那種感覺真的很爽。不信,你試一下。

If the energies in the Universe can be categorised, they would come in the 5 forms of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire and Earth.
All manifestations, be it things or events, in this world falls under these 5 elements, and each and every one of our Bazi is the combination of these 5 elements. The interaction between these elements in our Bazi and those in our circumstances will result in myriad of happenings, good fortunes or otherwise.
My personal experience tells me that even though 2 person may have exactly the same Bazi, but their destinies may turn out different. Reasons being the discrepancy in their facial features, the meanings, tonality, character strokes and essence of their names.
The crux of reading your own destiny lies in uncovering which of the 5 elements is or are mandatory for you. This calls for plenty of practical experience. It is not simply doing simple math of plus, minus, multiply and divide. If this first step is wrong, the whole deck of cards will surely collapse.
After deciphering the correct element, the next step is do guide the client on how to use it to boost their energies in all aspects, from external clothing and living environment to what they eat so as to attract good tidings and ward off misfortunes. Frankly, if the client is uncooperative, the whole of point of Bazi analysis would have been lost.
To know how your future will unfold but behave like a sitting duck? That’s just like buying a movie ticket to watch a preview of your life drama, isnt it?
I had this thought after seeing so many clients: if one’s life is seemingly smooth sailing but one remains unhappy, such zombie-like existence is very painful.
During a typical Bazi analysis session, I would always recommend the client certain colours favourable to him or her to boost the luck. Never underestimate the power of colours. Each colour has its own elemental nature. I have used this successfully several times to help clients succeed at their job interviews, even during this pandemic period.
However as soon as I mentioned the red colour, reactions from my clients tended to be bigger than usual.
Why?
Such a bright colour?
My wife said she’s not used to me in this colour!
That’s like Chinese New Year everyday!
The previous master I consulted said so too, but I did not heed the advice.
My answer: if you have been wearing your same old colours for the past many years and getting not much favours from Lady Luck, why not give my suggestion a try?
There are many tones and shades of Red. Nobody is asking you to dress like a big red ang bao (red packet) everyday. Dressing black everyday doesn’t make you Justice Bao either.
Attached are testimonies from Miss A and Mr B after they went red.
Mr B. came to me in September for a follow-up consultation. When I saw him from afar, I was thinking why there wasn’t any sign of change in him. He even sported a sour face.
He told me that after seeing me in March, he had just bought some clothes in colours that were unfavourable to him. He couldn’t bear to throw them away, and his wife didn’t really support him wearing red either. He said his colleagues were all wearing darker colours.
I told him that those clothes he bought had already served him for several months and he could donate them away. That would not constitute wastage. His wife may have good intentions but your destiny is your own business and only you know your sufferings.
We ought to treat our destiny with the spirit of a scientist. If you don’t experiment, you will never know if my methods work. This experiment is a simple one, ask your wife to support you this once.
It’s only changing the colour of your clothes, not asking to change your wife. 😂
Rather than getting oneself in knots, I will always choose to take the first step. Never try, never know.
My life’s journey has been that of ups and downs. Frankly speaking, when the winds begin blowing in your sails, and lift your spirit, those emotions are exhilarating. Don’t believe me? Try it out yourself.
how did life begin on earth 在 Milton Goh Blog and Sermon Notes Facebook 的最佳解答
“When you set your eyes on wealth, it is [suddenly] gone. For wealth certainly makes itself wings Like an eagle that flies to the heavens.” (PROVERBS 23:5 AMP)
I noticed that in times when I worry about finances and my focus in life shifts to earning more money, the income that I pursue becomes even more unattainable.
However in times when I am sincerely seeking the Lord in His word and listening to Jesus-centered sermons often, unexpected income suddenly pours in. Amazing isn’t it?
I believe that this phenomenon is linked to what Jesus said about seeking first God’s kingdom and His righteousness and all these (material) things will also be added to you.
When you as a believer focus on gaining wealth, it will fly away like an elusive eagle. It can be tempting to focus on this pursuit, especially in times like these of financial instability.
As a believer, your flesh has no power to sustainably increase and keep wealth. You can only receive it through faith. Hearing about Jesus refocuses your gaze unto Him and ushers you into the state of undefiled faith.
When you make hearing, reading and receiving God’s word a priority, provision is a side-benefit that will definitely be yours.
What about those unbelievers who prosper? How come they can do so?
“He who is faithful in a very little [thing] is faithful also in much, and he who is dishonest and unjust in a very little [thing] is dishonest and unjust also in much. Therefore if you have not been faithful in the [case of] unrighteous mammon (deceitful riches, money, possessions), who will entrust to you the true riches?” (Luke 16:10-11 AMPC)
Material wealth is not a measure of a person’s true wealthiness. In God’s eyes, money is considered a “very little thing”—one of the least of His blessings.
True riches are the eternal rewards from doing good works for Jesus’ sake. One example would be authority over cities during Jesus’ Millennial reign on earth in the future.
Revelations about Jesus are also true riches because Jesus is Abba God’s most treasured person. Fresh revelations about Jesus cannot be bought in any store on earth—they are given by the Holy Spirit when one receives God’s word.
God is against letting money that you’re not prepared to handle destroy you. Some people if you give them a million dollars now, they will never pray or prioritize God’s word until their next setback.
God doesn’t discipline unbelievers because they are not His children. He only disciplines His children which are the born-again believers.
Abba God wants you to prosper in all things—not just in money. He also wants you to be healthy and for your soul to prosper.
Trust His timing. Your character grows when He trains and teaches you through the Scriptures, and your capacity to steward wealth in a way that befits a royal priest to God also grows.
Some unbelievers may prosper because they spend all their efforts scheming and laboriously working to hoard wealth. But what is the end result? Other parts of their life is in shambles and that wealth can be lost very quickly.
Upon death, they descend to Hell to burn in unending torment, and their wealth can be quickly squandered by their descendants who did nothing to earn it.
Take this pandemic situation for example. Now Singapore is about to begin a lockdown situation. Imagine that even the casino is being shutdown. Places with high operational costs like the theme parks are also closed.
What other businesses owned by unbelievers are affected? I’m sure there are many. This is a sobering reality that chasing wealth can be a futile attempt—it can fly away like an elusive eagle.
Dear brother or sister in Christ, in Jesus’ name, I pray that God’s goodness and mercy will hunt you down all the days of your life—that you will not have to stressfully chase it, but God will restfully add it to you as you obey the Holy Spirit’s promptings in giving to be a blessing to others. Amen!
