Yesterday was quite a hard day cuz I got a second opinion confirming that my kitchen island has to be dismantled to get the 1st floor bathroom pipe fixed. Why does it have to be this pipe? 🥲 I meant just look at my grey quartz curvy island, my newly painted, patterned PHOMI Malaysia wall and my fancy Nano Shield Inovar Floor Malaysia laminate flooring. I know there’s a solution but it’s just too much, I’ll risk damaging them all.

Please do respect that I do not want to reveal the developer/location for privacy reason, they’re taking responsibilities for now. I’ll do it the right way without causing unnecessary prejudice.

Here’s what I learnt:
1. When you do defect checks after taking your keys, outsource to another plumber to check, then claim the defects fixes with your developer. (My neighbour did this but some unexpected problems still popped after moving in)
2. Ask your developer contractor roughly where the hidden pipes are IN the wall to avoid hitting the pipes in the wall when you drill water heater/water filter on. (Leakage in the wall is GG)
3. You’ll NEVER KNOW until you really move in and STAY/USE for a period of time. If you can, try showering and using the toilets before renovation. Thank goodness I did not do any renovation for my bathrooms and the 1st floor, so I can prove that it’s a developer defect.
4. Always look out for random water puddle in the bathroom, it could be pipe/faucet leakage.
5. Check your water meter frequently when you first move in, you might be able to spot any problem early.
6. Do not be afraid, your last resort is to file complaint to KPKT if a developer defect isn’t fixed.

Praying that FMCO ends well and soon, so the carpenter and plumber can work together to give me a comfortable home. Until then, I shall stay stress-free and happy #homewithdaph

The True Miracle Blocker

“Isn’t this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James, Joses, Judah, and Simon? Aren’t his sisters here with us?” They were offended at him. Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and among his own relatives, and in his own house.” He could do no mighty work there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people, and healed them. He marveled because of their unbelief. He went around the villages teaching.” (Mark‬ ‭6:3-6‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

The people of Nazareth were so focused on what they knew and saw with their five senses. They walked by sight. It was easy to fall into this trap because they saw little Jesus growing up right there, seemingly ordinary, and His parents were just normal, honest folk.

Granted, Jesus would have been smarter and more well-behaved than His peers, but the townsfolk would never imagine that this boy was actually their long-awaited Messiah and the actual Son of God.

Truth is spiritually discerned. When you rely on your fleshly brain and the five senses, you may miss out on what God is trying to show you by the Spirit.

Have you ever experienced a moment where you mind and your spirit were at loggerheads? Your brain is telling you that it is a good decision and that everything looks so right, but you just have this bad feeling in your gut that says something is wrong. I experienced this many times and I’m thankful that I listened to the spirit on most of these occurrences. It saved me from suffering unnecessary losses and pain.

It is not that Jesus had no power to heal or do miracles in Nazareth. God’s power was always flowing out of Him like mighty rivers, but the Nazarenes rejected the supply because of unbelief. No matter how much water is available in the storage reservoir, you will not get any if you refuse to turn on the tap.

Those few sick people in Nazareth discerned spiritually that Jesus is the Christ, perhaps because they had an urgent need. Their minds were open to seeing possibilities—they wanted to believe that Jesus could heal them.

The sick people were definitely not perfect practitioners of the Law of Moses. They were able to receive healing simply because they believed.

Today, it is not sin that is preventing you from receiving miracles or healing. It is unbelief.

Yes, indulging in habitual sin can be a major hindrance to faith because it produces self-condemnation and thus unbelief. But it is not the sin that is blocking your miracle or healing.

Jesus did not heal anyone who was perfect in their works. None of those who were healed by Him kept the Ten Commandments perfectly.

If being perfect was a criteria to receiving healing, then no one would have been healed when they touched Jesus. Yet, the multitudes who touched Jesus freely received healing simply because they believed they would be healed.

Today, if you really want to be set free from sickness, or if you need a miracle, choose to look beyond the outward circumstances, and let go of self-condemnation which is a form of self-righteousness.

See a good God who is freely dispensing His grace (undeserved favor and kindness) because the blood of Christ paid for it. Your sins were punished at the cross—Jesus took the punishment so that you would not have to. God is righteous in being gracious to you because Jesus’ blood is an overpayment for the sin debt of the whole world, and there is much more credit to be tapped on!

How Biblical Prosperity Looks Like

“But, lest we cause them to stumble, go to the sea, cast a hook, and take up the first fish that comes up. When you have opened its mouth, you will find a stater coin. Take that, and give it to them for me and you.”” ‭‭(Matthew‬ ‭17:27‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

When Jesus was on earth, He didn’t live in a palace, He didn’t own lots of land and He wasn’t considered a rich man. He wasn’t poor or destitute either. He earned a living as a carpenter and owned His own house in Capernaum.

Whenever there was a need, He never lacked. When there was no food in the deserted countryside, He multiplied loaves of bread and fishes. To pay the temple tax, He received a supernatural word of wisdom from His Father that He would send a fish with a coin in its mouth to provide the payment.

This is Biblical prosperity that every believer can experience—to have no lack and always be supplied for every need.

Not every Christian will be a multi-millionaire—there is a special calling for rich believers and that is to be generous givers towards the work of the Gospel.

Notice that God the Father didn’t create a silver coin for Jesus out of thin air. God provides for our needs through legitimate channels—He gives us the power to obtain wealth by giving us creative ideas and knowledge that will result in income if we act on them as led by the Holy Spirit.

God knows where all the ‘fishes with silver coins in their mouths’ are. He can direct them to swim towards you and tell you when to reel them in. This is the special advantage we have as children of God—we have insider info from the all-knowing, all-powerful God.

“When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into the deep, and let down your nets for a catch.” Simon answered him, “Master, we worked all night, and took nothing; but at your word I will let down the net.” When they had done this, they caught a great multitude of fish, and their net was breaking.” ‭‭(Luke‬ ‭5:4-6‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Work harder, no sleep, grind hard, no pain no gain. These are all the world can do because they can only rely on their own fleshly smarts, strength and abilities which are limited by the capabilities of man.

Without God’s favor, you can toil stressfully all night, sacrificing everything in life and still get nothing.

“Unless Yahweh builds the house, they labor in vain who build it. Unless Yahweh watches over the city, the watchman guards it in vain. It is vain for you to rise up early, to stay up late, eating the bread of toil; for he gives sleep to his loved ones.” ‭‭(Psalms‬ ‭127:1-2‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Rely on Jesus—through His Spirit in you, He can guide you what to do and exactly when to do it to haul in the biggest catch. You can tap on His unlimited wisdom and power.

It helps to swim along the river’s powerful current instead of against it—you’ll go further, faster!

The four gospels are full of powerful truths and if you read it right, you’ll see God’s heart of love and Grace towards us. Understand them through the lens of the New Covenant of Grace: https://bit.ly/understandeveryparable

Samuel Dalembert learned Friday that an uncle, a carpenter feared dead in his home country Haiti, was alive. His godfather finally contacted Dalembert's relatives.


Dalembert felt some personal peace that family members in his home country were alive. But hearing the first-hand accounts of the extreme death and destruction in earthquake-ravaged Port-au-Prince has left the NBA's only Haitian wanting to help his countrymen so much more.

"I feel much better, but still my heart is for those who lost their loved ones," he said.

The Philadelphia 76ers center finds 48 minutes of distraction each night on the court. Dalembert made a $100,00 donation to help relief efforts, then had 17 points and 12 rebounds to lift the Sixers to a 98-86 win over the Sacramento Kings on Friday night.

"I'm trying to do my best and contribute," a reserved Dalembert said of the relief effort. "The Philadelphia people responded. Everybody everywhere responded. That's a really good feeling. We're a nation of good hearts."

Dalembert taped a public service announcement for UNICEF encouraging fans to support the relief efforts in his home country. His donation went to UNICEF.

"I know, at a time like this, times are tough in our own home. But you find a good heart to help us out," he told the crowd before the game. "Everything is accepted. Don't feel like anything is too small to help out."

The Philly fans responded. The Sixers said in the third quarter they raised more than $30,000 at the UNICEF table on the concourse during Friday's game. Dalembert pledged to match the amount of money donated by Sixers fans.

"As soon as the game starts, my mind is basically on the game," he said. "I try to not think about anything. The game is a good distraction."

Dalembert made all seven of his shots and had three blocks.

Thaddeus Young scored 20 points for the Sixers and Allen Iverson had 17. The Sixers hit a pair of 3-pointers during a 10-0 run in the fourth quarter that turned a tight game into a comfortable victory in front of one of their largest crowds of the season.

The Sixers are a modest 3-2 since team president Ed Stefanski refused to guarantee coach Eddie Jordan would last the season. They could be headed toward their usual pattern of getting off to a miserable start before regrouping in January and February and sneaking into the playoffs.

Jason Thompson had 19 points and 16 rebounds for the Kings. Kevin Martin scored 19 points in his first game after missing the past 32 with a wrist injury. Martin was injured Nov. 2 when he collided with Iverson, then with Memphis.

The game marked a homecoming for Kings guard Tyreke Evans, of nearby Chester, Pa. He was a McDonald's All-American out of American Christian and a two-time state player of the year.

One of the league's top rookies, Evans failed to impress his hometown crowd, scoring 14 points. He missed 10 of 13 shots from the floor and made all eight free throws. He had hundreds of fans waiting for him near the Kings bench after the game.

"I was glad for people to see me play for the first time," he said. "I was probably thinking about it a little too much out there."

Elton Brand -- who was benched for entire fourth quarters a month ago -- scored 14 points for the Sixers and continued to find success in his role as an $80 million reserve. Dalembert and Brand combined to make their first 10 shots from the floor, the kind of production the Sixers envisioned they'd see more out of the frontcourt.

"I'm glad to be out there and contribute to winning," Brand said. "That's what hurt the most, losing and not being out there. Being out there trying to help, you feel good about yourself."

Andre Iguodala, who sprained his right ankle in the first quarter and briefly left the game, started the fourth-quarter run with a 3-pointer, then sank two free throws the next time down. Lou Williams capped the small but decisive spurt with another 3 that turned a one-point lead into an 11-point edge.

Iguodala, who said his ankle was bothering him "quite a lot," scored 12 points and had 10 rebounds.

Dalembert has long been the most-maligned Sixer because of his erratic production for such a bloated contract. He's enjoying one of his finest seasons and had his eighth double-double of the season.

"Sam's been anchoring us the whole year," Iguodala said."

Game notes
The 76ers held a moment of silence for late R&B singer Teddy Pendergrass, who died Wednesday. ... The Comcast-Spectacor Foundation made a $10,000 donation to UNICEF, and Comcast-Spectacor -- which owns the 76ers and Philadelphia Flyers -- planned to air public service announcements. ... The Sixers held the Kings to a season-low 37 percent shooting. ... Iguodala had his fifth double-double.
