Resurrection from the Dead
“Now if Christ is preached, that he has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither has Christ been raised. If Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain, and your faith also is in vain. Yes, we are also found false witnesses of God, because we testified about God that he raised up Christ, whom he didn’t raise up, if it is so that the dead are not raised. For if the dead aren’t raised, neither has Christ been raised. If Christ has not been raised, your faith is vain; you are still in your sins. Then they also who are fallen asleep in Christ have perished. If we have only hoped in Christ in this life, we are of all men most pitiable. But now Christ has been raised from the dead. He became the first fruits of those who are asleep.” (1 Corinthians 15:12-20 WEB)
There seems to be more focus on Jesus’ death than on His resurrection.
However, His resurrection is extremely important too.
Jesus’ resurrection proves that He is the sinless Son of God who is the Christ.
If He was not truly sinless, Jesus would not be able to conquer death and be raised from the dead.
It is precisely because Jesus was raised from the dead, and His tomb remains empty today, that we know our sins are forgiven.
I had the privilege of stepping into His empty tomb in Jerusalem back in December of 2014. I went to Israel with Amilee and it was an amazing experience to see the holy land in person. The Bible truly came alive for me.
In the future, there will be a few phases of the resurrection from the dead.
Firstly, the dead in Christ will be raised at the time of the Rapture to receive their glorified bodies.
Next will be the “first resurrection” that happens at the end of the Great Tribulation, whereby those saints who died during the Tribulation will be raised to eternal life.
Lastly, the final resurrection happens before the “Great White Throne Judgment”, whereby the dead unbelievers throughout all time, those saints who died during the Millennium, and the Nephilim giants, will be resurrected to stand before Jesus’ throne to be judged. Fallen angels (demons) will also be there to be judged but they will not need to be resurrected because they are spirits.
“Jesus answered, “Most certainly I tell you, unless one is born of water and spirit, he can’t enter into God’s Kingdom. That which is born of the flesh is flesh. That which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Don’t marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born anew.’” (John 3:5-7 WEB)
If you are born twice in this life—once in the flesh, and once through the Spirit, you will only die once (sharing in Christ’s death at the cross).
“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)
If you are only born once, you will die twice (once upon bodily death, and once during the Great White Throne Judgment, after being raised from the dead).
Christ has been raised from the dead. Your faith is neither futile, nor in vain!

The Three Groanings
“For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but because of him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of decay into the liberty of the glory of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now. Not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for adoption, the redemption of our body. For we were saved in hope, but hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for that which he sees? But if we hope for that which we don’t see, we wait for it with patience. In the same way, the Spirit also helps our weaknesses, for we don’t know how to pray as we ought. But the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which can’t be uttered. He who searches the hearts knows what is on the Spirit’s mind, because he makes intercession for the saints according to God.” (Romans 8:20-27 WEB)
Firstly, the whole creation is groaning due to the fall that happened when Adam sinned. Sin brought death into the world, and death is producing all these groanings that show that creation is suffering.
God never designed for animals to harm man, and insects (such as mosquitoes) never bit Adam and Eve in the garden. Every creature, including man, was herbivorous, eating plants and fruits.
“God said, “Behold, I have given you every herb yielding seed, which is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree, which bears fruit yielding seed. It will be your food. To every animal of the earth, and to every bird of the sky, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green herb for food;” and it was so.” (Genesis 1:29-30 WEB)
After Adam, the appointed ruler of earth, ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil against God’s command, that sin caused all of Adam’s subjects and kingdom to experience death and fall under a curse.
Ever since, the earth has been groaning, suffering from the effects of sin. Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, hurricanes—these are some manifestations of the earth’s groans.
Animals, insects, and birds attacking humans, plants producing poisons, these are also part of creation’s groans.
Secondly, we believers who have the indwelling Holy Spirit groan because we feel all the limitations and imperfections of this mortal body that has been corrupted by sin.
We who know about the Rapture eagerly long for the redemption of our body. Imagine a body that can never die or be destroyed. It never feels suffering, tiredness, or weakness, and can appear and disappear at will, traveling across the world in an instant, passing through solid objects at ease if needed to. This are just some of the amazing capabilities of the glorified body that is promised to us. Jesus demonstrated these after He rose from the dead.
God knows that we are groaning within, and that the sinful flesh makes us limited and weak at times. Our spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. To combat this, God gave us the greatest gift after Jesus’ ascension: the indwelling Holy Spirit.
The Spirit prays for the solutions to our most urgent needs that even we are unaware of, and He does so through groans that cannot be uttered.
Even though the Spirit does not pray with intelligible words, Abba God knows what is in the Spirit’s mind, and He takes that as perfect prayer in accordance with His own will.
These are the three groanings. The first came because of sin, the second because of patiently waiting for the final part of redemption, and the third is God’s gracious help to us while we are still waiting.
How wonderful it is to know that the Holy Spirit is offering up perfect prayers for you, even when you do not know the right things to pray for.
“Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, yes rather, who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.” (Romans 8:34 WEB)
In the same chapter, we find that Jesus who is in Heaven is also praying for us.
We have the Holy Spirit praying for us from earth, and we have Jesus praying for us from Heaven. This is according to Abba God’s will, and it is perfect.
“What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who didn’t spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how would he not also with him freely give us all things?” (Romans 8:31-32 WEB)
The triune God is for you, not against you. The world was corrupted by sin, but God’s heart is not to destroy or condemn the world, but to save it.
He has already provided the perfect atonement through the blood that Jesus shed at the cross. God is using all His power to give you a glorious future, so put your faith in Him!
You don’t have to feel helpless or afraid…God has given you powerful spiritual weapons to use in spiritual warfare. In “Silencing the Serpent”, you will discover what these weapons are, what the enemy’s tactics are, and how you can break free from longtime addictions, bondages, and unhelpful beliefs: https://bit.ly/silence-the-serpent-now

Advance the Gospel in the Way that God Leads you
“Jesus came to them and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth. Go, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I commanded you. Behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.” (Matthew 28:18-20 WEB)
Jesus was not just commissioning the apostles to preach the Gospel. It is obvious because the twelve did not manage to reach all the nations in their lifetime. This commission is for every believer throughout time. The words which Jesus spoke in the passage above are know as “The Great Commission”.
I am so glad that Jesus did not just give a command and leave us scratching our heads on how to fulfill it. He sandwiched the command between two statements of provision.
Firstly, Jesus used all the authority He had to give us authority to preach the Gospel so that people from all nations would be saved.
Then, at the end of the passage, He assured us of His ever-abiding presence with us.
We are not trying to preach the Gospel by our own strength and eloquence. We have Jesus’ authority which allows us to access God’s power for confirming signs and wonders to back up our message. Additionally, Jesus is with us through His Spirit, to empower us to preach, and to teach us what to say or do.
Although every Christian is sent to preach the Gospel, relatively few are called to preach from stage. Most do not. When the words “preach” or “ministry” are used, don’t limit your imagination to some person in a suit preaching from the stage to a huge crowd.
There may be Christians led by the Spirit to start a soup kitchen where they feed the poor and share the love of Christ by their actions.
Other Christians are led to buy gifts and hand them out to the people they know. The gifts may contain a handwritten note, saying things like, “I know you’re going through a tough time, but I am praying that God will surely help and restore you. The Lord Jesus loves you with an everlasting love!”
There are so many ways to minister the Gospel to others. The Holy Spirit knows all the ways, and He matches you with a certain way that fits you. That is why it is pointless to compare yourself with others.
I first learnt about Pastor Joseph Prince and New Creation Church because my friend and business associate handed me the book “Destined to Reign”.
I remember I was sitting on a coach in Las Vegas, USA, on the way to see the Grand Canyon. The book was my good companion during the journey, and I was absolutely mind-blown by Pastor’s sharing of the true Gospel. The chains of legalism and performance-based salvation fell off, and the sweet love of God flooded my heart.
After that vacation, I invited myself to that business associate’s church (NCC), determined to heard more Gospel truths from Pastor Prince in person. You see, this Christian lady’s ministry looked different from a pastor preaching on stage. She handed out books that she bought, and these acts of friendliness and generosity planted seeds of the Gospel in people’s hearts, producing a powerful ripple effect that blessed many.
You are uniquely designed by God. Your calling is also tailor-made for you. No one can do it better because you have a unique set of life experiences, relationships, gifts, and knowledge to reach a niche crowd of the unsaved.
Ask the Holy Spirit to lead you and give you opportunities to share the Gospel in the way that He wants you to.
Even if you are not good with words, and you consider yourself antisocial, if you are good at earning lots of money, then give towards ministries that preach the true Gospel which is the Grace of Christ. This is why God blessed you with wealth and the power to get it. Your giving enables ministries to reach more people with the Gospel and plant more seeds for salvation.
This Facebook page, “Milton Goh Blog and Sermon Notes” is one of the platforms from which I minister the Gospel. I started it in July 2014, when I was on vacation with my ex-girlfriend (who is my current wife), in Gold Coast, Australia. In the cold hotel room, I suddenly felt led to start the page on my laptop, and to sharing my writings with people around the world. Never did I imagine that this page would one day have 42k likes and over 200k people reached with the Gospel twice daily each month.
Help this ministry to further fulfill its mission of “Reach More, Teach More”. In these end times, every second is precious.

FIRSTLY? We are TERRIBLY sorry that the FIRST 8 minutes of audio was GONE! Omg. That's just horrible. Achilles and I were going on and on. I do apologise on our LIVE end.
Truth be told, I wasn't 100% that day. I was actually down with fever due to mastitis but as the saying goes, "the show must go on" and I was pretty excited to be talking to my guest. Azmi had to man the fort with a cranky baby at the back (our helper is stuck in her hometown due to the unfortunate floods, so we told her to settle matters. And then MCO 2.0 took place. So, we are WFH-livestreaming with 4 young kids all at home and a very sick me. Go figure! LOL)
Anyway, here was my first part of what I was (trying to say)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Covid-19 pandemic caused a projected loss of 195 million jobs, interruptions to education and a disproportionate impact on vulnerable groups. The nature of work and careers is changing fast. I’ve heard some say that it’s not the virus that scares them, but the uncertainties that lies ahead.
2020 has given employers and companies reshaped their hiring practices while employees rapidly had to adapt, upskill and reskill, as well as practice resiliency and hone on their entrepreneurial mindsets ,to respond to the reality of either a salary cut or worst, layoffs or to close their business due to the downturn.
As we enter into our 2nd week of 2021, with the uncertainties still looming, I’m pretty sure many of you are keen to know how others have strived despite the challenges. So today, I’m delighted to speak to Achilles Sureen, Senior Lead – Culture & Employee Engagement, AirAsia to share how he managed to fly by, when aviation was hit badly, in 2020.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you Achilles for being such an inspiration. I learnt so much from our short 'lunch date'. I hope mum and my dad meets each other and can have a glass of wine to celebrate your wonderfulness.
Thanks Angelica and JobStreet Malaysia for arranging this interview. Can't wait for the next one with Ramesh!

In my opinion, there is plenty of information out there to help an average Vietnamese student to get accepted into a prestigious school or to successfully secure a scholarship to study abroad. What happens then? I believe there is not as much information with regard to internship and full-time job applications. I remember when I first started finding out how to apply for internships and work experience, everything was a total mess and I did not know where to start. So, me being that super old postgraduate student, who is about to leave school, decided to make this short video that basically summarises the whole process of a typical internship/job application procedure. Hopefully, this animated clip can provide students a comprehensive overview of the entire seemingly complicated process. From there on, you may have a clearer picture of everything - where you stand, and how you can move forward. English subtitles are of course included.
I want to talk a bit about this video now. I have to say, this has been the worst video to make! The hours spent on drawing the damn pictures, the ridiculous amount of storage I needed to save all the files for editing, the annoying colour correction that is impossible to get right. But this has been one of my new year's resolutions - to make a drawing video and finally I have achieved that. Special thanks go out to firstly Han N Duong for helping me with all the logistics and part of the (fail) editing. Thanks to Trang Nguyen and Hoang Phong from LOK Vietnam who gave me tips on how to make these sort of videos. The lighting turned out horribly wrong though but I gave it my best shot. Thanks to Barney Yau and Joyce Chan who doubted my drawing skills... Thanks to Andy Tuan Anh and Khai Dao for being those career-driven kids, your cases provided good examples for the video. I'm sure you will help to contribute towards the comments section :) Last thank goes out to all of my previous Art teachers =))
That's that I guess. If you find the video helpful or insightful in any way, be sure to drop a thumbs up. Give it a share to anyone you know who might find it useful. As for now, bye bye!
