An Extract
This is an extract from the Book entitled “Her Seed – The amazing love of the extraordinary Father”.
A principle of software programming is to keep the code DRY; Don’t repeat yourself. It is a critical concept aimed at reducing repetition of code to save time and money while also making it easier to maintain and test code.
However, in our case, we are to repeat the Word of God; muttering it under our breath or churning it in our minds.
There will be a repetition of scriptures as well as repeated contents in this book. This is in line with Romans 10:17.
The phrase “hearing and hearing” carries the notion of repetition. One of the principles of learning is repetition. Repetitio mater studiorum est. Repetition is the mother of all learning.
We have not quoted in full every passage of scripture in this book as we would like to encourage you to check them out for yourself (Acts 17:11, 1 Peter 2:2-3).
We are encouraged to search the scriptures for ourselves (Acts 17:10-12, 2 Timothy 2:15). According to the Bible, we need to let the Word take root.
The two passage of scriptures present a stark contrast between one who reads the word for himself and one who does not. The former is firmly rooted against the howling wind of deceit while the latter is uprooted and blown away by it.
Can you remember the story of the three little pigs? It serves as a reminder to build our house on the solid foundation of the Word!
The test of the pudding is in the eating. To enjoy the good spread before you, you need to eat it. To taste the goodness of the Lord, you need to read the Word for yourself. Jesus is not here physically for us to behold (2 Corinthians 3:18). So where else can we behold His glory except in the Holy Bible.
Christianity is not a religion. It is about having a rich relationship with a loving Daddy God on a daily basis and that relationship is built on the Word of God.
“Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner and I cannot save myself. Today, I receive your gift of salvation. I trust you as my personal Lord and Savior. I believe you are the Son of God Who died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead on the third day to acquit me from all charges. Thank you for paying my sin debt and satisfying the demands of justice with Your Precious Blood. In You, I now stand as the righteousness of God, meeting all His standards. Amen!”
Right this very moment, all of heaven rejoices over you (Luke 15:4-7; 22-24).
When the Lord has set you free, you are free indeed (John 8:36)!
Welcome to the big family of loving Daddy God!
This is as good as admitting that I have been deceived and led astray. I can’t tell the truth from a lie. Lord Jesus, You have come as a Man to show me what it is like to trust God even with Your life. Teach and lead me back onto the right path (Isaiah 53:6, Proverbs 8:5).

Unwrap the Gift
If you have not received Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior, I invite you to make this confession:“Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner and I cannot save myself. Today, I receive your gift of salvation. I trust you as my personal Lord and Savior. I believe you are the Son of God Who died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead on the third day to acquit me from all charges. Thank you for paying my sin debt and satisfying the demands of justice with Your Precious Blood. In You, I now stand as the righteousness of God, meeting all His standards. Amen!”

Grace
I am thankful for the grace of God that is upon this nation.
I am a Singaporean.
In Singapore, we celebrate and embrace our diversity of backgrounds, languages, and beliefs.
I have peppered this book with some seasoning of Singlish and added a dash of the Singaporean culture. If you like Singaporean cuisine, this will serve as an added attraction. You will also get to learn some Singlish, Malay, Hokkien, Cantonese, and Mandarin along the way. If I speak Tamil, I would have definitely included more of it. வணக்கம் Vaṇakkam (Hello).
Song lyrics that are deemed appropriate to the respective portions of this book have also been included. The titles of the songs are appended accordingly and you can YouTube it.
Staying true to the belief that a picture speaks a thousand words, graphics have also been included in the unfolding pages. They serve to provide some comic relief.
In summary, this book will appeal to your eyes, ears, heart, mind, and most importantly, your soul.
Okay. All set liao.
Hope you will find this book shiok.
The general meaning of the word "liao" can be roughly interpreted as "already."
The word “shiok” means very enjoyable or pleasing (used as a term of general approval).
Singlish wan shui!
Long live Singlish!
Singlish wan shui! 万岁! Long live Singlish!
Exciting Plot
As you immerse in the scriptures presented in this book, you will be drawn into an exciting and intriguing plot interwoven in fabrics of evil, mystery, murder, victory, love and much more. It is sure to keep you on the edge of your seat.
Brace yourself for an exciting time in the word! Get to see Jesus hidden in the Old Testament and have a taste of the Emmaus experience.
Witness for yourself the salvation plan of God from before antiquity to the present Church Age that we live in. Marvel at the profound wisdom of the triune God as He obscured the identity of the promised Seed from the frustrated master villain, who played the “hide-and-seek” game over thousands of years.
The Haman versus Mordecai saga in the Book of Esther was a foreshadowing of Satan’s humiliating defeat (Esther 7:10). Satan knew that the promised Seed would come from the Jews but he did not know who exactly. This probably explains the disproportionate hatred towards the Jews in general. He tried to kill the promised Seed by attempting to exterminate the entire Jewish race. However, God worked behind the scene to thwart Satan’s sinister attempt and turned the table against him. It was a demonstration of God’s signature move; beating Satan at his own game! The Jews were eventually saved from complete decimation. Today, this significant victory is celebrated as the Festival of Purim in Israel.
This is just an appetizer before the main course. So, tighten your spiritual seat belt and dive right into this exhilarating ride through the passage of time as we unravel one of the greatest biblical mysteries since time immemorial.
Objective
The sole objective of this book is to attempt to make you salivate for the Word of God.
This is motivated by 1 Peter 2:2-3.
We will follow the lead of the foundation and reference scriptures all the way through to the New Testament.
In the course of this journey, we will be making many interesting observations from scriptures.
For example:
1. God’s signature move;
2. The crime Adam committed;
3. The identity of the missing man in the account of the adulterous woman brought before Jesus.
4. The principle of representation and identification;
5. The significance of the bruising of the serpent’s head and the heel of the Seed;
6. The many attempts by Satan to exterminate the promised Seed;
7. How Chinese martial arts is akin to the concept of cornerstone;
8. How God served poetic justice on Satan;
9. How it is all about Jesus’ faith in and obedience to God and not ours;
10. How Jabez and Joseph were types of Jesus;
11. How low a level God the Son condescended as Jesus the Man;
12. How the Bible interprets the Bible;
13. How the Hokkien phrase “Mai Tu lee yell”, encapsulates the meaning of Ephesians 5:16;
14. How the righteous of God are beneficiaries of a recession.
These are just some examples of the many observations that we will be making in this book.
