The repairer of the breach




 “And your ancient ruins shall be rebuilt;

 you shall raise up the foundations of many generations;

 you shall be called the repairer of the breach, 

the restorer of streets and homes to dwell in.”

‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭58:12‬ ‭ESV‬


Being a repairer of the breach requires more than a rebuild. It requires strengthening the area where the breach occurred.

A breach is a gap in a wall, barrier, or defense. In warfare or agriculture, a breach is a place where the enemy comes in to destroy or where the sheep break out and get lost. It’s that one weak spot in the levy that gives way to the flood. It doesn’t take much digging to discover that a home is to be maintained, and that includes repairing breaches. 

The rebuilding of the wall in Jerusalem in Nehemiah all teach us about how and why we are to rebuild what has been breached. And sometimes, with opposition, we must rebuild with a sword in one hand and our tools in the other (Neh4:17)


I’ll repair the beach of broken families, and restore homes with You... to what you have intended it to be, and you have intended home to be safe and good, where children could experience warmth and love.

"Thirty years ago, my colleagues, younger and more dreamy eyed, settled the words of our pledge. We did not focus our minds on our navels or we would have missed the rainbow in the sky.

And there are rich findings at the end of that rainbow." "To the young and the not too old, I say look at the horizon, find that rainbow, go ride it. Not all will be rich; quite a few will find a vein of gold but all who pursue that rainbow will have a joyous and exhilarating ride and some profit." Mr Lee Kuan Yew Looking at Lee Kuan Yew, how he gave up his life for the good of others, for the generation and future one to come to have a better life. How he sees the value of what he is doing.. Also reminded of Jesus Christ, how he gave up his life, sacrifice for us when he did no wrong, to that he may be sin ...

The heart of worship (Christian Artist)

Humbled by this experience to dance on stage for the audience of One, ministering to others through dance. Thank You Lord, all glory to you.  That first step of obedience is the toughest. I know full well someone else could do a better job than me, and know that it is by the grace of God that I can be involved in His kingdom, serving Him and ministering to others.  When I was doubting my abilities, secretly hoping that the leader will change his mind and get someone else to do it, God never stop searching my heart and tells me who am I in Him, that it is indeed all about Him and not me. He bring me back to this very reason of why I started dancing for Him. "I'll bring you more than a dance,  for a dance in itself, is not what you've required. You searched much deeper within,  through the way things appear,  You're looking into my heart."  (heart of worship) The world looks at efficiency and capability, but God looks at the hear...
