A couple of weeks ago, upon getting her consent, I published the contents of emails from a regular reader of ROOTSS which I nicknamed Bathsarah. This is because her admonishment of me was done out of the sincerity of her heart, and I truly believed that what she said would edify and encourage the other readers of ROOTSS.
However, I did so without first giving her ample warning. As a result, there was more than a week of silence from Bathsarah. I figured she must have been upset by what I did, and was going to compose an email to apologise to her...
Well, praise God because she has forgiven me even before I sought her forgiveness! I was composing the entry about the D2R2 Giveaway, and no sooner had I published it than I received a subscription to ROOTSS -- and it was none other than Bathsarah herself!
Dear Bathsarah, please accept my apologies for catching you off-guard. However, it was done with good intentions and you can see from the reaction of the other regular readers of ROOTSS that you have built up quite a rapport and reputation with them. So please do keep those pearls of wisdom coming...
As for the ROOTSS subscriptions, besides Bathsarah, another 8 others have since followed suit. What this means is there are still another 12 copies of D2RD to be given out.
Here's a write-up on the book which I lifted from the official website...
In this fast-paced world where many things scream for our attention, Jesus tells us that only one thing is needful — sitting at His feet and allowing Him to minister to us through His Word.
Destined To Reign Devotional helps you do just that, with daily devotionals that will establish you firmly in the grace of God and new covenant truths. Come to know the tender heart of the Father towards you as well as the perfection of Jesus' finished work. Each devotional inspires faith while dealing with practical issues such as wisdom, healing, provision and protection.
Expect to experience the amazing love and grace of God as you feed on His Word through these devotionals, and begin to see yourself enjoying wholeness and victorious living!

D2RD Giveaway!
Monday, 4th August 2008
I have mentioned before on my blog that my wife's elder brother is now attending New Creation Church.
On Sunday 20th July, I asked him to buy for me "Live in Israel Vol 2" and he ended up *giving* it to me!
On Sunday 27th July, he told me that Destined To Reign Devotional ("D2RD") was just released, and asked whether I wanted one as well.
I politely declined, but he was determined to do so, and ended up blessing me with 5 copies!!! Looks like the grace message has caused him to overflow with generosity :-)
Anyway, I told him that since God has blessed me with a pay rise of 40% in the last 6 months, I had felt the Lord impressing upon me to bless others in return and to give out 50 copies of D2RD (just like He impressed me to give out 25 copies of Destined to Reign in August last year, followed by another 25 copies a month later).
I used to work in Kallang which was quite inaccessible by public transport. Since my office was very near to a post office, the best arrangement then was to mail the copies of D2R out.
Now that I am working in Raffles Place, which is just next to the MRT station of the same name, a better arrangement this time around would be to leave the 50 copies of D2RD at my office reception to be picked up during working hours.
There are currently 41 subscribers to
ROOTTS and the 29 who are located in Singapore will each automatically be entitled to a copy of D2RD.
What this means is that there are still copies up for grabs, dear readers of ROOTSS.
To subscribe, simply go to http://asia.groups.yahoo.com/group/ROOTSS/ and click on "Join This Group".
The 1st 21 additional subscribers from Singapore to do so will be guaranteed a copy of D2RD :-)

Review of Mt Sinai Resources
Sunday, 3rd August 2008
A month ago, I blogged about the type of books one may find in a law-based bookstore. That was actually done tongue-in-cheek, but it was so realistic that a reader of ROOTSS actually thought they were for real :-)
Some readers like Geri and Joo could find the humour in them. But I suspect that there are probably other folks who may be thinking that these titles are actually scripturally-sound!
The recent review that Rev Dr Wong did on D2R has kinda inspired me to do some "book reviews" of my own.
And so, I will set aside the last 6 days of the 40-day fEast to do just that.
I had wanted to start with "Get Right or Get Left", but after reading the comment that Mango Chin made on Matt 5:17-21, maybe I should review "Greater Expectations" instead.
Stay tuned...

Anointed Music
Saturday, 2nd August 2008
Three days ago, I blogged about how a video that was played in my church resonated so much with my spirit man that I sobbed throughout when meditating on the words.
Well, it turns out that the song is called Healer by Mike Guglielmucci and is featured on the latest release by Hillsong Music entitled This Is Our God. Yup, that's the same one that brought us classics like Shout to The Lord and Power of Your Love.
I was at a shop at Heartland Mall and saw a limited edition CD + DVD of it on sale, so I just had to snap it up :-)
Just like what Geri commented, it is music like that which edifies and uplifts one's spirit. Praise God for anointed songwriters like Mike Guglielmucci as well as Hillsong's alignment with the gospel of grace. Amen?

Dear Anon, Let's Meet Up...
Friday, 1st August 2008
Several weeks ago, when I posted the Hired Hand Mentality, it made quite a number of readers feel very uncomfortable.
There were some readers like Bathsarah and Geri who were genuinely concerned and their godly counsel has resulted in me releasing forgiveness to the one that wronged me. I thank you, dear sisters.
Yet there were others who behaved like Job's friends, passing judgement under the guise of concern.
Since I was the subject of investigations, I decided to do some investigations of my own, and discovered that it likely to be a single reader who posted under the guise of different handles to give people the impresssion of numerosity.
I have Sitemeter installed on my blog. Besides tracking the number of hits, it also tracks, inter alia, the IP address, operating system and browser of visitors.
It was rather coincidental that the person/(s) who behaved like Job's friends all shared IP addresses that were issued by a Singnet DNS (116.14.xxx.xxx). What was even more telling is that the person/(s) was using a computer running MacOS and using a Firefox browser. What are the odds ;-)
On the advice of Bathsarah and others, I have now disallowed anonymous Blogger comments, but continue to allow anonymous comments to be made on the cbox tagboard. This is to allow that reader/(s) to ventilate and use cbox as his playground of indulgence.
Here are some recent potshots that were posted. Note again the similarity in the IP address, even though 3 different handles are being used...

Dear anonymous reader. Please drop me an email at mloh77@starhub.net.sg. Whatever differences we may have, we are going to meet in heaven some day. Why not I take you out to lunch where we can have a mature discussion and learn to agree to disagree? God bless you, dear brother.
