Preface
One morning, while I’m doing my job in the hospital an inspiration suddenly came to me. “Why don’t you share me to your friends” because recently I am meditating about the latent power given to us by God. There is really an urge to write a book but I’m a bit hesitant because I don’t know where to start but these past few days I observed the turn of events around the world. Fear is spreading all throughout the world. Calamities, famines, anarchy, investigations of corruptions, scams, economic turmoil, and civil wars are spread worldwide. Even the countries with strongest economy were not spared. It just means there is no super powerful country anymore. As I am studying these events, every answer to my questions is all putting to their places. But there is one thing that people are forgetting. It’s the SUPER POWER that is always ready to help. And this “super power” never got tired of blessing the whole world through our Lord Jesus Christ. “He said I am the way the truth and the life, nothing could come to the Father except through me”. Once again I took my Bible which is sitting on my altar accumulating dust, (“I forgot to open for quite sometimes”). The Bible showed me all the inspirations I needed to create this book and it’s getting so quick and they are so massive, I am so overwhelmed; (I have to stop for a while to gain my composure or else I will not start writing). From time to time I have to meditate and pray. Now I believe that I have enough guidance and courage to finish my long overdue mission that’s why I always pray like this, ”Lord make this your work use me I’m just your instrument”. I believe The Almighty Father will be very happy…ENJOY THE BOOK AND SHARE TO OTHERS…

THE TREASURE HUNTER

Matthew 13:44-46
New International Version (NIV)
The Parables of the Hidden Treasure and the Pearl
44. “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field.
45 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. 46 When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it.

During the second world war there was a lot of rumours that Yamashita treasures are spread all over Asia and treasure hunting is a very lucrative business. Sales of metal detectors are very promising. But this business is based on guerrilla operations because if the authorities learned of it, they will seize the operation and will take over. According to the law of the land treasures belongs to the government that’s why you have to inform the government about extracting treasures so that it will go to the national museum, other countries will buy back these treasures which belong to them and the government will get paid for these treasures. As a treasure hunter your primary concern is to get these treasures once and for all no matter how illegal it will be. But according to the bible there is no law about extracting treasures during that time. You will imagine how it will change your life if you will be successful on getting these treasures. The Lord Jesus through parable gave us a picture of the Kingdom of Heaven like a treasure. We have to sell everything just to get this most precious thing. It means there is no more valuable treasure than this. If ever you find a treasure more prized as the Kingdom of Heaven what are you going to do? , you might have some sleepless nights, and by now and you are trying your best to protect this treasure. I had found this treasure but I will not protect it because this treasure cannot be stolen from me. I could relax and will not be worried that I have done any illegal things, and I will not have any sleepless nights because I am so confident that this treasure will guide me and bless me in all my ways. And the most wonderful assurance I got about this treasure is: this is free to share. That’s why I am sharing this treasure to you. This is not accidental that you found this book. The Lord Jesus directed you to this book. No need for maps, metal detector, and other paraphernalia. Just bear with me and I will guide you through….

The test
Matthew 4
Jesus Is Tested in the Wilderness
1 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted[a] by the devil. 2 After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. 3 The tempter came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.”
4 Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’[b]”
5 Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. 6 “If you are the Son of God,” he said, “throw yourself down. For it is written:
“‘He will command his angels concerning you,
and they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’[c]”
7 Jesus answered him, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’[d]”
8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendour. 9 “All this I will give you,” he said, “if you will bow down and worship me.”
10 Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.’[e]”
11 Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him.





Each one of us is aiming to have at least a power at hand to do whatever we pleases, that’s why our parents are always pushing us to study hard to be successful someday and we will have a power to transform our life. We have to strive hard to make our dreams come true. But it’s not an easy road to success. We have to undergo tests and examinations. We have to pass all of them. If you are aiming for a highest position you have to focus and concentrate yourself to that goal. It seems like if we aim high we have to experience the pull of gravity. That’s why a lot of people when they get there they don’t want to go down anymore. This is the most dangerous thing that every person had to surpass when they get the power they are aiming for. But since Lord Jesus was sent here on earth with a royal mission to save the soul of every person from that time on until the end. When he was tested on the wilderness he didn’t waver even a bit. And this is the power that the Lord Jesus wanted to deliver to us. We may say Jesus is the son of God that it is easy for him to resist the temptations the evil try to inflict on him. But he guaranteed us that every person will do much greater that he had done. The Lord Jesus came for us to aim on the life that has to come, the life eternal. We might have some other ambitions to fulfil but he is always reminding us the Kingdom of God is at hand. It is not an easy task because we will all undergo the same test. But he said, “don’t be afraid I will be with you till the end of the ages”. I just have some questions to you at this point in time, “are you still on the testing time or you passed it already?” Did you feel that you are just alone and you feel you cannot do it? Have you felt that Jesus abandoned you on this trial moments? The Lord Jesus Christ understood that we are not that strong to go through this test that’s why he set an example for us to follow. Mostly when we encounter such trials our immediate response is “I can’t do this”, “I surrender”. “Why me, there are much bad than me out there”. He also made a promise that in time trials he will always be with us. But in all tests there is a promise solution and these solution is by means of the Power of the Word of God. This is the greatest of all power that we could get if we really want to be powerful. I may say that my life was not a smooth one. I had experienced a lot of test that could even cost my life. I had been with the wrong type of friends. I had been a victim of abuse and bullying. I had been serving the wrong ideology. Until one day God said;“ enough is enough my child time for you to be raised up from that kind of life”. God had sent me an angel to put me on the right direction. I can’t say I’m not experiencing trials anymore but He gave me an extraordinary gift to see through these trials and do the certain thing to pass the test. And in return I want to serve God with this book so that many people will benefit and get the wisdom to see how God loves us so much and gave each one of us the power, which is the Power of Jesus.

The first miracle
1 On the third day there was a wedding in Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.
2 Jesus and his disciples were also invited to the wedding.
3 When the wine ran short, the mother of Jesus said to him, "They have no wine."
4 (And) Jesus said to her, "Woman, how does your concern affect me? My hour has not yet come."
5 His mother said to the servers, "Do whatever he tells you."
6 Now, there were six stone water jars there for Jewish ceremonial washings, each holding twenty to thirty gallons.
7 Jesus told them; "Fill the jars with water." So they filled them to the brim.
8 Then he told them, "Draw some out now and take it to the headwaiter." So they took it.
9 And when the headwaiter tasted the water that had become wine, without knowing where it came from (although the servers who had drawn the water knew), the headwaiter called the bridegroom
10 and said to him, "Everyone serves good wine first, and then when people have drunk freely, an inferior one; but you have kept the good wine until now."
11 Jesus did this as the beginning of his signs in Cana in Galilee and so revealed his glory, and his disciples began to believe in him.
12 After this, he and his mother, (his) brothers, and his disciples went down to Capernaum and stayed there only a few days.






Let me take you to a scenario here. First, everybody is very happy and enjoying the feast without any worries that there will be a slightest problem to emerge on the course of the feast. Even the host of the wedding have no idea but inside the kitchen the head waiter is so worried because the wine ran out, and the host of the wedding will be humiliated. But there is one person so aware of this situation, Mary the mother of Jesus. One of the powers of Jesus is his mother. If we could remember, after the angel appeared to Mary she kept everything in her heart, the truth that Jesus will have something different from others, he had a mission to accomplish. But when she told the problem to Jesus he said, “Mother, I’m not yet ready to do a miracle”. But being an obedient son, he had to do it. On the other hand, Mary knows that it is the right time for Jesus to carry on with his mission. She said to the servants to do as he said. Jesus turned the water into a wine, not just an ordinary wine but the finest wine they ever tasted. What message these want to convey to us?
To be able to use the power of Jesus I have to be obedient, to my parents, to the authorities and most especially to Our GOD. The problem will banish and the finest life will be attained if I am obedient particularly to myself. I don’t have time to listen, to GOD. I am living on the world without and I have no time to meditate, to pray. If we will just spend even five minutes in prayer our life will start to change. At this very moment Lord Jesus is ready to listen to all our problems. And give at least a minute to talk to Mama Mary for prayers and intercession. Because Mama Mary knows what do we need as children of God. And by the way, i received a lot of miracles since i committed myself to serve in the vineyard of God.

THE HEALING

Jesus Heals Many
38 Jesus left the synagogue and went to the home of Simon. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was suffering from a high fever, and they asked Jesus to help her. 39 So he bent over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. She got up at once and began to wait on them.
40 At sunset, the people brought to Jesus all who had various kinds of sickness, and laying his hands on each one, he healed them. 41 Moreover, demons came out of many people, shouting, “You are the Son of God!” But he rebuked them and would not allow them to speak, because they knew he was the Messiah.
42 At daybreak, Jesus went out to a solitary place. The people were looking for him and when they came to where he was, they tried to keep him from leaving them. 43 But he said, “I must proclaim the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns also, because that is why I was sent.” 44 And he kept on preaching in the synagogues of Judea.









When everything else failed in our life where do you think you want to go? There are people who opted themselves to wickedness. We destroy ourselves; our body; our self-worth and we did not value the God given gift of perfect health. And in the end we became weak, and our body stop functioning the way that it should be. There are people who hate everything in their life. They always moan for everything they saw around them. Everything you can hear in their mouth is negative things. And they don’t realise that it affected their heart and the weakest part of their body. There are people who didn’t trust anybody. One time I was called to do the garden (it’s my part time job) of a 90 years old lady. She is already a widower and she is living alone in her house. Her son is living in London with his family. She was just introduced to me by one of my client. She said to me that she is always keeping the gates and the doors and the windows of her house close because she don’t trust anybody even her neighbours. I jokingly reply; ” maybe even I as well “,and she laughed.
If we will observe around us there are so many kind of sickness today and some are incurable. Billions of pounds and dollars are spent for research to find a cure for all these diseases but nothing seems to be found yet. And some of the diseases nowadays are more fatal than fifty years ago. But there are diseases that can be healed without any medical processes. There are people who trusted the power of prayers. That’s why some of my friends always asking for intercessory prayers which I personally found so effective. I witnessed a lot of healing took placed by means of prayers and by laying hands over the sick person. I have witnessed one village filled with unwell people get healed because of their faith. In every place we went for recollections and seminar I saw persons got healed instantly. And it is because of the Power of Jesus that is always willing to heal every disease physically and spiritually. Jesus never chooses whom he wanted to heal, even you are poor or even you are rich He is there to bend down to rebuke the spirit of sickness. Even the bad spirit knew how powerful Jesus is, they knew that He was the Messiah, the Great Healer and they cannot be against Him. I personally experienced the healing power of the Lord Jesus. I am healed by this power. That’s why in return I want to serve Him through sharing to all people the goodness of the Lord Jesus to me.
How could we have this power of healing you might ask? Before the Lord Jesus go for His mission, he always went to a solitary place to pray and talk to the Father God. He always goes in silence and listen what the Father want him to do. The first thing we should have is faith and we should always listen to the word of God. The trouble in this world nowadays, we are all rushing, we want noise because it’s boring if it is so quiet, we don’t have time to listen. And we don’t want to pray anymore. I heard some people say they don’t want to pray anymore because it seems their prayers were not answered. So it’s useless to pray, nobody seems to be there listening. But I always believe that Father God is always keen to listen to us. That’s why I always want to talk to Him. I want to tell him all my problems. I always want to tell Him my disappointments. I want to tell Him my plans. And all of those are through the Lord Jesus. We are also required to go on regular fasting and contemplation and meditation to achieve healing. Here in this place where I live presently, a lot of people got tired of going to their churches especially the young people, that’s why some of the churches were sold and turn into houses and the old people are left to go to the church and they were few in numbers now. Fortunately some Catholics here are getting stronger and the young people are being guided by dedicated people of God. Through the Power of Jesus, there is healing spiritually here and the families were still together.
If we want healing, we could have it through intercessory prayer and through our Lord Jesus Christ. God is always ready to listen. He is always waiting for us. He is so keen to talk to us. Do not hesitate to tell God what you want.

THE MIRACLE
OF
MULTIPLICATION

Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand
13 When Jesus heard what had happened, he withdrew by boat privately to a solitary place. Hearing of this, the crowds followed him on foot from the towns. 14 When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their sick.
15 As evening approached, the disciples came to him and said, “This is a remote place, and it’s already getting late. Send the crowds away, so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food.”
16 Jesus replied, “They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.”
17 “We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered.
18 “Bring them here to me,” he said. 19 And he directed the people to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. 20 They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. 21 The number of those who ate was about five thousand men, besides women and children.





The whole world is on the brink of collapse. The economy is on crisis. Famine is killing Africa. The banks cannot lend money to the people. Our natural resources are already scarce. The inflations and deflations are very distressing to the poor. It might be scary if you will look at it as true. But the truth is, all of these are only artificial. You might say, are you fool? It is already happening all around the world and we are experiencing it. There is a problem yes, and the problem came from worry and hoarding. The richer country agreed that they will control the economy of the world because they care for the coming generations. They have to guard the resources of every nation so it will not be exhausted. The banks are controlling their capital by putting up safety nets on their lending and the interest is so astronomical. The future of the world is unpredictable.
Why all of this is happening. Many said this is a sign of times. This is a sign of the end of the world. We are going to die of hunger. We will die poor. This is what the apostles felt when they are with the Lord Jesus in the wilderness, five thousand men with women and children following Jesus wherever He went. These are the people who receive hope that Jesus will fit as their protector and saviour from the oppression during those time. The apostles are so worried that their food will run out and they are not sure when they are going back to town. All that is left for them are five loaves and two fish which are not really sufficient to them either. And their worries elevated when the Lord Jesus answered to feed all these people. What? We only got limited supply of food and yet you want us to give it to them? Who in the sound mind should do that? That’s why the Lord Jesus demonstrated to them how to feed this multitude of people with just five loaves and two fish.
There is one man of God who explained to me how this miracle happened. He said, according to the tradition of the people during that time when they are going out for any reason and they are not sure when they will return they brought with them sufficient supply of food. But because they were there for quite a long time the Lord Jesus knew that their supply is really inadequate. He wanted to test his apostles how their faith is that’s why he said feed them. What do we expect from the apostles, but to react with awe. The Lord Jesus ask his disciples to tell them to sit in groups. He took the loaves and fish lift it up so that the people will see what he is doing and give thanks to the Father in heaven. Then he divided the bread and the fish to his disciples. Because the people see what he had done, they take their food out and do what Jesus had done. We knew that when they collected the left over, it reach up to twelve baskets of loaves and seven baskets of fish. What is the secret behind this miracle? The answer is SHARING.













Let me share to you the wisdom I had discovered dated years ago…its all about attaining the power which is within us through our Lord Jesus Christ….


The Secret
from the
Anonymous Sage
Year 1642
Here beginneth the first lesson to be acquired:
Man should not be blinded to whatsoever merit exists in the opportunity which he hath in hand, remembering that a thousand promises for the future should weigh as naught against the possession of a single piece of silver.
Here beginneth the second lesson to be acquired:
Fortune is ever elusive, and can only be retained by force. Deal with her tenderly and she will forsake you for a stronger man. (In that, methinks, she is not unlike other women of my knowledge)
And here beginneth the third lesson:
Failure exists only in the grave. Man, being alive, hath not yet failed; always he may turn about and ascend by the same path he descended by; and there may be one that is less abrupt (albeit longer of achievement) and more adaptable to his condition.
and here might be included the fourth lesson:
Seek comrades among the industrious, for those who are idle will sap your energies from you.
and here beginneth the fifth lesson:
The Ishmaelite and the leper are the same, since both are abominations in the sight of man - albeit they differ much, in that the former may be restored to perfect health. The former is entirely the result of imagination; the latter has poison in his blood.
I pray you who read, heed well the following admonitions, since upon them depend the word "success" and all that it implies:
Whatsoever you desire of good is yours. You have but to stretch forth your hand and take it.
Learn that the consciousness of dominant power within you is the possession of all things attainable.
Have no fear of any sort or shape, for fear is an adjunct of the minus-entity. If you have skill, apply it; the world must profit by it, and therefore, you.
Make a daily and nightly companion of your plus-entity; if you heed its advice, you cannot go wrong.
Remember, philosophy is an argument; the world, which is your property, is an accumulation of facts.
Go therefore, and do that which is within you to do; take no heed of gestures which would beckon you aside; ask of no man permission to perform.
The minus-entity requests favors; the plus-entity grants them. Fortune waits upon every footstep you take; seize her, bind her, hold her, for she is yours; she belongs to you.
Start out now, with these admonitions in your mind.
Stretch out your hand, and grasp the plus, which, maybe, you have never made use of, save in great emergencies. Life is an emergency most grave. Your plus-entity is beside you now; cleanse your brain, and strengthen your will. It will take possession. It waits upon you.
Start tonight; start now upon this new journey.
Be always on your guard. Whichever entity controls you, the other hovers at your side; beware lest the evil enter, even for a moment.
My task is done. I have written the recipe for "success." If followed, it cannot fail.
