~NE BITES ARTICLES~For all to know how to bite the devil
Power Of Unparalleled Love For Christ
-Power Of Love Is Not Restrained To Love Serials Only-
We all known & seen moving love scenes in the TV. A common one is the lead actor waiting for the lead actress in a fierce thunderstorm, hoping to move her heart. Another one is where the lovers elope under intense parental persecution. In these kinds of dramas, we see that deep love defy any opposition or obstacles. However, most if not all of us believe that theory is not realistic.
To certain extents this is true. However, when a teacher of the law asked Jesus, "Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' (Matthew 22:36-37)
Think about your non-believer days. Think about one of the craze you have gotten onto. I am sure during those days all your resources – your time, money and strength had been channeled into that craze. During my younger days, one of my craze was trading card games (TCG). During that time, I would spend as much money as I could on those TCG.
That is why to deeply love God is an important thing. If we deeply love Jesus, it will compel us to do anything for Him! Many times in this journey, I remind myself that what I am doing is out of love for Him! In those TV dramas, love compels the couples to doing anything to express their love for one another.
In our life, the devil would stop at nothing to tear us away from serving God. He hates it each time we serve God & advance His Kingdom. Satan would send temptations in our life – our studies, passions & dreams etc. He is like the persecuting parents in the love serials, refusing the couple to be together.
However, we hardly see the couple give up on one another in those dramas. The more the parents persecute, the more they desire to be together, even to the extent of eloping! So should it be with us! Our love for Christ must be so deep that nothing can ever break us apart. It must be to the extent that the more the devil tries to stop us; the more we refuse to give up giving to God our all!
Satan loves to stop us. That is why we need to bite back. The only way to bite back is to keep on loving God. In some of those TV shows, the scene we see at the end is the couple being together. That is the power of an unparalleled love for Christ – To be with Him forever in eternity.
Before I close, I would like to remind all that before the couples become united together, they would face many challenges. Back to the eloping kinds of TV show, the couple might successfully elope at first, but later on; the parents would send people to hunt them down. Similarly, we might bite back at the devil at the first temptation, but that is not the end. He would continue to tempt & deceive us, so we need to continually fight back.
So today, let us examine our hearts. Is the love for Christ lesser than love for other things? Are we loving God with all our heart, soul & mind? If our love for Christ is not threatened by other idols, perhaps we should ask ourselves how could we increase our love for Christ?

Lyrics
It Is Your Love
Nothing in this world can satisfy me
Jesus You alone can fill me up
I could gain the world and all its treasures
But all those things would never be enough
It is Your love
It is Your goodness
It is Your kindness and compassion
That fills me up inside
It is Your grace
Your tender mercy
It is Your presence in my life
That satisfies
I Give You My Heart
This is my desire
To honor You
Lord with all my heart
I worship You
All I have within me
I give You praise
All that I adore is in You
Lord, I give You my heart
I give You my soul
I live for You alone
Every Breath I take
Every moment I'm awake
Lord, have Your way in me
Shepherd of My Soul
Shepherd of my soul
I give You full control
Wherever You may lead I will follow
I had made the choice
To listen to Your voice
Wherever You may lead I will go
Be it in a quiet pasture
Or by a gentle stream
The Shepherd of my soul is by my side
Should I face a mighty mountain
Or a valley dark and deep
The Shepherd of my soul will be my Guide
Your Beloved
Lord it was You who
Created the Heavens
Lord it was Your hand
Put the stars in theirs place
Lord it was Your voice
Who commands the morning
Even oceans and their waves
Bow at Your feet
Lord who am I
Compared to Your glory, oh Lord
Lord who am I
Compared to Your Majesty
I'm Your beloved
Your creation
And You love me as I am
Have called me chosen
For Your Kingdom
Unashamed to call me Your own
I'm Your beloved
I'm Your beloved
More of You
Come to me Lord
Here is my heart
Can't live on my own
Can't live without You
I want more, more of You Lord
I want more, more of You Lord
I wanna hold You, love You, not let You go
Renew this fire that's within my soul
I want more, more of You Lord
I SET MY MIND ON YOU
Verse
I set my mind on you Lord
I choose you every time
Focus my eyes on you Lord
And dedicate my life
Chorus
Here I am use me
Come into my life
I want to be more like Jesus
Until the end of time
Sing Of Your Great Love
Verse 1:
All that is within me Lord will bless Your holy name,
I live my life to wor-ship You alone.
You brought me out of darkness, and in-to Your glorious light,
Forever I will sing of Your great love, Forever I will sing of Your great love.
Verse 2:
I love to see You glorified, to see You lifted high,
I yearn to see all na-tions bow their knee.
Itâs You alone Lord Jesus who can cause the coldest heart
To find Your love and everlasting peace, To find Your love and everlasting-peace.
Chorus:
Ho-ly, Ho-ly, Ho-ly is the-Lord
Ho-ly, Ho-ly, Ho-ly is the-Lord.
Bridge:
And Your trumpet will sound, And all of heaven will know
That the time has finally come, For the bride to take her place.
And weâll hear the angels sing
Follow
where can i hide, where your love cannot reach me
where can i go, where your arms, they're not here for me
where can i run to, where i cannot feel your love
'cause Jesus Your love rescued me
so i'll follow after You
wherever you take me, i'm following you
i'm gonna follow you
in everything i say, in everything i do
i'm gonna follow you
in every step i take, i know you're with me
i'm gonna follow you
i'm taking up my cross, i'm following you
i'm gonna follow you
You're everything that i live for
i'll follow after you
everyday of my life Lord
i'll follow after you
i'm gonna follow you
i'll follow after you
We Are the Reason
As little children
We would dream of Christmas morn'
Of all the gifts and toys
We knew we'd find
But we never realized
A baby born one blessed night
Gave us the greatest gift of our lives
We were the reason
That He gave His life
We were the reason
That He suffered and died
To a world that was lost
He gave all He could give
To show us the reason to live
As the years went by
We learned more about gifts
The giving of ourselves
And what that means
On a dark and cloudy day
A man hung crying in the rain
All because of love, all because of love
I've finally found the reason for living
It's in giving every part of my heart just to Him
In all that I do every word that I say
I'll be giving my all just for Him, for Him
We are the reason
that He gave His life
We are the reason that
He suffered and died
To a world that was lost
He gave all that He could give
To show us the reason to live
He is the reason to live....
Shout To The Lord
My Jesus, My Saviour
Lord there is none like you
All of my days, I want to praise
The wonders of your mighty love
My comfort, My Shelter
Tower of refuge and strength
Let every breath, all that I am
Never cease to worship you
(chorus)
Shout to the Lord, all the earth
Let us sing. Power and majesty, praise to the king.
Mountains bow down and the seas will roar
At the sound of your name
I sing for joy at the work of your hands
Forever I'll love you, forever I'll stand
Nothing compares to the promise I have in you
(chorus)
My Jesus, My Saviour
Lord there is none like you
All of my days, I want to praise
The wonders of your mighty love
My Comfort, My Shelter
Tower of refuge and strength
Let every breath, all that I am
Never cease to worship you
(chorus)
(chorus x2)
Nothing compares to the promise I have in you
Nothing compares to the promise I have in you
Nothing compares to the promise I have in you
Come Holy Spirit
Come Holy Spirit fall on me now
I need Your anointing come in your power
I love you holy spirit
Youâre captivating my soul
And everyday
I grow to love you more
Iâm reaching for your heart
You hold my life in your hand
Drawing me closer to you
I feel your power renew
Nothing compares to this place
Where I can see you face to face
I worship you
In spirit and in truth
How Could I Live
How could I live without You
How could I survive
Without Your love
Without Your touch
You're the One that heals me
And cleanses my heart
And sets me free
Now i come right before You
With my hands lifted up
With my heart humbly bowed
At Your work on the cross
As You hang there and die
You were paying the price
For my life, For my life
For Your love is higher than the heavens
Deeper than the seas
And all I want is You in my life
Noone else can satisfy my soul
Can make me feel this way
Only You Lord, only You
Emmanuel
Together in this place of worship
Your greatness we proclaim
We stand as one in giving You
All glory and acclaim
To You our hearts are open
To You our hands we raise
Come take the place of honour in our lives
Emmanuel
Our God is with us
Prince of Peace Mighty One
The Ever-living God
See the praises of our Saviour
Rise to open skies
With the dawning of redemption
Your glory will arise
For You alone are worthy
Here in Zion you are praised
Our Lord and King forever
You will reign
Draw Me Close
Draw me close to you
Never let me go
I'll lay it all down again
To hear you say that I'm Your friend
You are my desire
No one else will do
Cause no one else could take Your place
To feel the warmth of Your embrace
Help me find the way
Lead me back to you
You're all I want
You're all I've ever needed
You're all I want
Help me know You are near

That seeks Your face, O' God of Jacob

How Great is our God
by Chris Tomlin
album: Arriving (2004)
The splendor of a King, clothed in majesty
Let all the earth rejoice
All the earth rejoice
He wraps himself in Light, and darkness tries to hide
And trembles at His voice
Trembles at His voice
How great is our God, sing with me
How great is our God, and all will see
How great, how great is our God
Age to age He stands
And time is in His hands
Beginning and the end
Beginning and the end
The Godhead Three in One
Father Spirit Son
The Lion and the Lamb
The Lion and the Lamb
Name above all names
Worthy of all praise
My heart will sing
How great is our God
How great is our God, sing with me
How great is our God, and all will see
How great, how great is our God
The Heart of Worship
When the music fades
All is stripped away
And I simply come
Longing just to bring
Something that's of worth
That will bless Your heart
I'll bring You more than a song
For a song in itself
Is not what You have required
You search much deeper within
Through the way things appear
You're looking into my heart
I'm coming back to the heart of worship
And it's all about You,
It's all about You, Jesus
I'm sorry, Lord, for the thing I've made it
When it's all about You,
It's all about You, Jesus
King of endless worth
No one could express
How much You deserve
Though I'm weak and poor
All I have is Yours
Every single breath
I'll bring You more than a song
For a song in itself
Is not what You have required
You search much deeper within
Through the way things appear
You're looking into my heart
I'm coming back to the heart of worship
And it's all about You,
It's all about You, Jesus
I'm sorry, Lord, for the thing I've made it
And it's all about You,
It's all about You, Jesus
I'm coming back to the heart of worship,
And it's all about You,
It's all about You, Jesus
I'm sorry, Lord, for the thing I've made it
And it's all about You,
It's all about You, Jesus
