How would you describe your current experience as a Christian? Growing? Frustrated? Disappointing? Fulfilled? Freeing? Stuck? Struggling? Joyful? Defeated? Exciting? Up and down?

A LIFE NOT CENTERED ON CHRIST: Serving Jesus is not their top priority. They grow very little in faith and often live in frustration because they do not listen to the Spirit or trust Him to empower them to obey. They may go to church, but Jesus is not leading their life. They have invited Jesus into their life, but possessions, desires, and interests are not Christ-centered.

They might say: “I’m doing OK.” || “No one’s perfect.” || “I’ll get serious about Jesus one day.” || “I feel stuck doing the same sins over and over.” || “The Holy Spirit doesn’t feel real to me.” || “I don’t have much joy in my Christian life.”

A LIFE CENTERED ON CHRIST: These Christians have placed Jesus at the center of their life — their time, decisions, work, relationships, and everything else, are being directed by Him. It all belongs to Jesus. They are growing spiritually and experiencing the power of the Holy Spirit by faith. Possessions, desires, and interests are Christ-centered. They still make mistakes, but they’re quick to re-center their life on Christ through confession, trusting in God’s forgiveness and inviting the Spirit to guide them and empower them to obey.

They would say: “What I want most is to follow Jesus.” || “I can’t do this on my own, so I run to the Holy Spirit again and again.” || “When I get side-tracked, I’m quick to make God the center again.” || “Following Jesus is bringing me more and more joy.”

When you center your life on Jesus, you begin to experience amazing joy. Life becomes full of meaning and purpose. God begins to change you from the inside out. The best is yet to come. God desires to make your life more and more abundant each day, but to experience that you need to rely on the Holy Spirit by faith. Here are three faith steps, with suggested prayers, that will enable you to experience the power of the Holy Spirit throughout the day.

1. Express your commitment to Jesus each morning:
“Dear Jesus, I want You in the center of my life and commit to serve and obey You through Your power. Anytime. Anywhere. At any cost. To do anything.”

2. Live in the freedom of forgiveness:
“Dear Jesus, I sinned against You when I (state specific sins here). Thank you for forgiving me through Your sacrifice on the cross. I choose to center my life on You again and life fully for You.”

3. Rely on the Holy Spirit’s power by faith:
“I can’t do this alone. Empower me through Your Spirit to love You with my whole being today and to love others with Your love.”

Jesus is offering you an abundant, Spirit-filled life every single day. Take hold of that life by faith: keep Him the center, run to Him whenever you fall, trust Him for everything you need for life and godliness (2 Peter 1:1-4).

BECOME FULLY ALIVE IN JESUS!

Sunday, (Sept 19) – Praise God for giving us the Holy Spirit. Pray that we will grow in our relationship with Him and get know Him as our Helper and Counselor. Thank God that the Holy Spirit is committed to guide us according to God’s truth. Since He will not override our will or force us to follow Him, pray that God will grant us the faith to relinquish control and give the Holy Spirit control of our lives. Pray that we will yield to the Holly Spirit’s leading and guidance that we may be filled to overflowing with His graces and live our lives in willing surrender to Him. Pray that the Spirit will keep us from anything that discredits the name of Jesus and lead us in the paths of righteousness.

Monday, (Sept 20) – Pray for all members and worshippers of Wesley Klang to remain present to one another as our physical church doors remain closed in the Phase 2 of the National Recovery Plan. Pray that our church members will remain connected with one another although we are not able to meet physically. Pray that we will learn to remember one another in prayer. Pray that we would make time to connect with one another virtually and pray that the conversations we have with one another will indeed build one another up in the Lord.

Tuesday, (Sept 21) – Pray that our nation will be able to begin to recover from the pandemic. Pray that the health conditions of those affected by the COVID-19 virus will improve, especially those in the ICU and those who are intubated. Pray for those who have been discharged, and those suffering from the effects of prolonged hospitalization for COVID-19 that there will be facilities made available to help them recover to full health. Pray for wisdom for the government in introducing SOPs as the nation slowly reopens for more activities. Pray that the public will continue to follow the SOPs strictly, especially as the tourism industry is reopening, and people are going for local holidays.

Wednesday, (Sept 22) – Pray for the Nation: Pray for God’s mercy and grace upon our nation during this challenging time. Pray for God to grant the government wisdom to make the right decisions to balance the COVID-19 infections and death rate that remains worrying, with the need to reopen more economic sectors as many people are suffering from Covid-induced job losses. Pray that the MOU signed by the Federal Government and some opposition political parties will achieve the desired results for political stability, reform and economic recovery. Pray that all politicians will focus on the urgent, vital national issues of bringing about harmony, prosperity and stability to the nation.

Thursday, (Sept 23) – Pray for the World: Although earlier data showed that children are less likely to become seriously ill from COVID-19, healthy children have now been hit hard by the Delta variant of the virus. Praise God that many nations have started vaccinations for children aged 12 and older. Pray for wisdom for governments and policy makers to make the right decisions in nations that are apparently uncertain about vaccinating younger children, those who are below age 12.

Friday, (Sept 24) – Pray for TRAC: Pray for all TRAC Churches that would be having their local church planning meetings. Pray for the Holy Spirit’s guidance to be upon all churches as they discern God’s will for their respective churches in the Pandemic/Endemic. Pray for eyes to be opened, ears to be attentive and hearts to be receptive to God’s movement in the churches. Pray that the love that God so lavishly poured upon our lives will direct our hearts as we discern God’s plan for our churches. Pray that our TRAC Churches will live out the Great Commission which is to make disciples of all nations.

Saturday, (Sept 25) – Pray that Christian parents will realise the importance and impact of parental role modelling, and they will be positive role models of Christlike character to their children. Pray that the next generation will not give in to the issues of narcissism or apathy, but that God will always be the center of their lives, and they will see the world with godly perspective and not out of their own self-centeredness. Pray that this next generation will constantly be reminded of God’s mighty acts in their lives and they will hold fast to their faith no matter what happens in the world.

All kinds of trials … have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith … may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.

1 Peter 1: 6 – 7

Why might God want to use a crisis in our lives? We naturally consider crises to be bad, but God often does some very good things through these bad experiences. There are things that God teach in a crisis that are much harder for us to learn at other times.

For instance, in a crisis we begin to discover just how little control we really have over our lives. Humbled, we being to pray more sincerely and worship more deeply.

We may also begin to realize what really matters most to us. Our crisis experiences usually leave us more appreciative of people and less obsessed with possessions.

Crises have a way of making us very unhappy — which isn’t all bad, either. As our happiness is stripped away, God can help us discover a kind of peace that can be richer than we would ever have imagined our happiness could be.

And through it all we get some good practice at sniffing out God’s presence in the middle of a situation that often just stinks. When we resist this kind of faith, we miss the point entirely. When we cooperate with God, we can begin to discover a richness that lasts long after the crisis has passed.

What kind of blessings has God brought to you during a crisis in your life?

Lord, please use our sufferings to lead us closer to You. Amen.

(RON VANDERWELL)

Sunday, (Sept 12) – Praise God for bringing us into His family by a new birth through the resurrection of Christ, that Jesus is our Living Hope and we live our lives by faith in Him. Praise God for the lasting hope kept for us in the heavenly places – a glorious inheritance that does not depend on our faithfulness but on His. As we are being prepared for the coming glories of our heavenly home, pray that the Lord will help us rejoice in our future hope despite the distresses of life’s various trials, knowing that He has promised to guard us by His mighty power. Thank God for being with us in all our trials and pray that we may come forth as gold that has been tried in the fire, to the praise and glory of Christ.

Monday, (Sept 13) – Pray for Wesley Klang to be prepared for the post-pandemic season. Pray that our church leadership and staff will be bestowed with wisdom and understanding. Pray that we would look to God for guidance as we face the challenges that are sure to come. Pray that the church leadership will be united in one mind and heart in decision making. Above all, pray that our church leadership will continue to walk closely with the Lord as they seek to point others to Christ.

Tuesday, (Sept 14) – Pray for the Nation: The Parliamentary Sittings reopened yesterday (September 13, 2021) and will finish on October 12, 2021. Pray that God will sovereignly guide, through the Holy Spirit, all members of the government: the Agong, all the Members of Parliament, the Speakers and all who are in positions of responsibility. Pray that our political leaders will not lead the nation astray due to love of power, desire for popularity, or by engaging in any form of manipulation. Pray that they will put aside their political and personal interests, and prejudices, and fulfil their responsibilities and obligations to seek the welfare and prosperity of the nation and all the people of Malaysia.

Wednesday, (Sept 15) – As the Klang Valley has moved into Phase Two of the National Recovery Plan, pray that all businesses and retailers that have reopened will ensure that all patrons are fully vaccinated and exercise strict compliance with all the SOPs. Pray that the public will continue to exercise caution as they are now allowed more freedom, so that there will not be any spike in the daily COVID-19 cases. Pray for urgent medical supplies and vaccines to be made available for the states that are struggling to cope with high daily cases, especially in Sarawak. Pray also for wisdom for the Ministry of Health that has made plans to vaccinate teenagers in tandem with the resumption of classes.

Thursday, (Sept 16) – Pray for Wesley Methodist School Klang, for the mental health of the students and teachers as learning and teaching online has been very challenging. Pray for more intake of students in the coming year as the registration for new students is low at present. Praise God for the Christian activities in the school presently held online: the compulsory classes to impart knowledge of the Bible to all the students, the Chapel services held every Friday, as well as the Boys’ & Girls’ Brigades. Pray that God will minister to the students and teachers, and for the seed of the Gospel to be sown in the hearts and minds of those who have yet to place their faith in Christ.

Friday, (Sept 17) – Pray for TRAC: Pray for all District Superintendents in TRAC as they prepare to enter into a busy season of having to conduct Local Conferences for the churches in their respective districts. Pray for God’s wisdom to be upon each one of them as they preside over these Local Conferences. Pray that they may be able to bring a word of encouragement to the church leadership in the midst of this pandemic. Pray that our District Superintendents will be able to manage their time well that despite their busy schedules they would be able to rest.

Saturday, (Sept 18) – Pray for the World: The United Nations development agency says Afghanistan is teetering on the brink of “universal poverty” as the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan has put 20 years of steady economic gains at risk. Pray that the nations of the world will unite to prevent the economic collapse of the country, and find ways to provide humanitarian relief on a huge scale and quickly allow money to flow to Afghanistan to prevent a total breakdown of the economy and social order while creating safeguards to ensure the money is not misused by the Taliban authorities.
