Christ stands everyone on their head when it comes to submission. And when it comes to submission, don’t be fooled, Paul lets no one off of the hook.

We have seen that submission applies to Christ. Think of Christ’s entrance into this world — manger — cow’s stall, poverty, no financial means — He who was rich became poor — no social power — lived life as a servant — died as a criminal — died in submission to our needs — continues to be our Advocate before the Father — continues to intercede — continues to live among us. Paul writes, “Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her to make her holy…” (Ephesians 5:25-26)

Submission applies to the church. For a church to refuse to submit to the authority of Christ would be to deny its very right to exist in the first place. That is the very nature of the church, she submits to Christ. Without that submission she is no longer the church. It is through that very submission to Christ that we become washed, sanctified and cleansed. It is through submission that we become a member of Christ’s Body. To deny that submission would be to deny that we are a part of Christ’s Body.

Submission applies to men as well as women. For a woman to deny submission to her husband would be to deny the very nature of the marriage relationship. For a man to refuse to submit himself to the needs of his wife would be paramount to Christ denying submission to His church or the church denying submission to Christ. It would be like Christ denying His oneness with the church. The woman is to submit to the husband just as the husband is to submit to Christ. Yet, in this relationship where Christ is totally submitted to our needs, we are led full circle to being in subjection to one another through Christ. To fail to submit is to deny Christ. To fail to submit is to deny ourselves the ability to fill our deepest need through submission to one another. It is through this profound relationship that we become the Body of Christ and members of one another.

Submission applies to fathers and children. “Fathers, don’t frustrate your children with no-win scenarios. Take them by the hand and lead them in the way of the Master.” (Ephesians 6:4, THE MESSAGE)

Submission applies to slaves (servants) and masters. Paul wrote, “Servants, respectfully obey your earthly masters but always with an eye to obeying the real Master, Christ. Don’t just do what you have to do to get by, but work heartily, as Christ’s servants doing what God wants you to do. And work with a smile on your face, always keeping in mind that no matter who happens to be giving the orders, you’re really serving God. Good work will get you good pay from the Master, regardless of whether you are slave or free. Masters, it’s the same with you. No abuse, please, and no threats. You and your servants are both under the same Master in heaven. He makes no distinction between you and them.” (Ephesians 6:5-9, THE MESSAGE)

What would this approach to problem solving do for our homes, our congregations and our workplaces?

(JAMES R. DAVIS)

Sunday, (Nov 7) – Pray that the Holy Spirit will help us who reverence Christ to be submissive to each other. Pray that husbands and wives will choose to submit to each other – that the Lord will help wives to respect their husbands, and husbands to be loving and considerate towards their wives. Pray that parents and children will choose to submit to each other, that the Lord will help children to obey their parents, and parents will act in the best interests of their children, and not provoke or frustrate them. Pray that employers and employees will submit to each other, and God will help employees render the work for which they are paid, and employers to be fair and show kindness to their employees.

Monday, (Nov 8) – Pray for the Nation: The Election Commission (EC) has announced that polling day for the Melaka state elections will be on November 20, 2021, with nominations to take place today (November 8, 2021). Pray that this state elections will not undermine the successes made in containing the pandemic as what had happened at the Sabah state elections last year. Pray for protection against another coronavirus outbreak during campaigning and voting. Pray for God to raise only men and women of integrity who will work for the good of the people of Melaka and the nation. Pray that all deceitful political ploys and manipulations will be nullified.

Tuesday, (Nov 9) – Wesley Methodist Church, Klang will resume in-person worship services on the 13 & 14 of November 2021. Pray for all preparations to go on smoothly. Pray for God’s protection to be upon all people who would be coming back to church. Pray that God would help us re-connect with one another. Pray that we would be able to encourage and edify one another with our presence in church.

Wednesday, (Nov 10) – Praise God that more than 95% of the adult population and about 50% of the teenagers have been fully vaccinated. Pray that parents and guardians will ensure that their teenagers will keep their second vaccine dose appointments as schools are now reopening in stages, and teenagers who are not vaccinated or not fully vaccinated run the risk of contracting COVID-19. Pray that parents will continue to be vigilant to protect their children as there are many cases of the very infectious Delta variant of the virus. Pray that the Ministry of Health will soon come out with concrete plans to immunise children below 12 years old.

Thursday, (Nov 11) – Pray for the Parenting Youth Webinar that will be held this coming Sunday, November 14, 2021. Pray for the speaker. Pastor Andy Yeoh, for wisdom and insight from God as he prepares the message. Pray that what he shares will fall on fertile soil, and the parents will learn and apply the principles learnt so they will be able to build strong and loving relationships with their teenage children. Pray for good attendance from parents, that they will be willing to sacrifice their Sunday afternoon to attend the webinar. Pray for the two moderators, the host and co-hosts to work well together in unity. Pray for good, strong and stable internet connection throughout the webinar.

Friday, (Nov 12) – Pray for TRAC: Pray for Bishop Joshua Khong (TRAC Bishop) and Mr Yap Koon Roy (Conference Secretary). Both are in their first year of holding these important positions in TRAC. The 46th Session TRAC is less than one month away, and will be held online on 20th November 2021. Pray that they will lean upon God’s strength always. Pray for God’s wisdom and guidance upon them. Pray that they will diligently serve God and the people. Pray for good health for them and for God’s protection upon then and their respective families.

Saturday, (Nov 13) – Pray for the World: In India, many Christians face extreme persecution. Praise God that many are coming to faith through miraculous healing from COVID-19 and the witness of Christians. Pray for protection for those from Hindu backgrounds who have chosen to follow Christ as they may become targets of conservative religious nationalists. Pray for village churches to be protected from violent attacks. Pray for the Christians for courage, love and wisdom to know when and how to share their faith. Pray also that they will continue to stand strong in their faith.

TITHES & OFFERING

While we acknowledge that many people are affected by the current pandemic situation, we encourage you to continue giving your tithes/offering during this time through online banking. The details are below:

Matthew 28:18 – “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.”

Jesus is Lord of all. He demonstrated His authority over heaven and earth throughout His life and ministry. He had authority over nature to calm the storm and still the sea. His authority over the forces of evil can be seen in His casting out of demons and standing against the forces of Rome and the religious hierarchy. Jesus taught as one with authority, and His authority was validated by His resurrection.

Creation doesn’t seem to have a problem with Jesus’ authority. As far as we can determine galaxies, black holes and nebula are totally compliant with divine authority. Rocks and trees don’t seem very rebellious, either. It is only humankind–us–who struggle to submit ourselves under Jesus’ authority.

As disciples of Jesus Christ, we identify ourselves as children of God–under the authority of our divine Parent. We say that we are servants of God–submissive to the will of our Master. As disciples our lives are an acknowledgement of Jesus’ authority over us as it is over all of creation. Accepting God’s authority over us is transforming for us and for the world around us.

Matthew 28:19 – “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.”

We are now challenged to live out this commission in the face of great diversity.

This is not the first time in history that Christians have sought to be witnesses in societies with great diversity. In those situations it was soon discovered that arguments and theological debates did little to spread God’s kingdom. What really made a difference was lives that shared God’s love and grace with others. As the song goes, “They will know we are Christians by our love.”

Matthew 28:20 – “… And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

We all face the future and new situations with a little fear and trembling. Certainly, Jesus’ disciples felt that way as they heard Jesus commission them to carry on with His ministry. “All nations” was a lot bigger than the Galilee and Jerusalem with which they were acquainted.

Jesus’ promise, however, encouraged them and later sustained them. Jesus assured them that He would be with them. Jesus would guide them and protect them. Jesus would be their constant companion; they would never be alone. Later they realized that absolutely nothing could ever separate them from Jesus. Such knowledge gave them the ability to shine brightly for Jesus and to change the world, just as it does for us today.

(KEVIN RUFFCORN MINISTRIES)

Sunday, (Oct 31) – Give thanks to God for graciously calling each of us to Himself as His disciples. Pray that we will worship Him as the exalted Lord who has all authority. Pray that God will purify our devotion to Him and we will find great joy in living a missional life for Him. Pray for forgiveness for our tendency to forsake His calling on our lives in favour of comfort and ease. Pray that the Holy Spirit will help us see opportunities to engage others with the Gospel, and for courage and confidence to proclaim Christ. Pray that the Lord will empower us to touch the lives of others through the love that God first gave us. Thank Jesus that He will always be with us – to guide and protect us, and we will never be alone.

Monday, (Nov 1) – Missions Month: Pray that Wesley Klang would be able to live out the Great Commission. Pray that each one of us will be on the lookout for opportunities to make disciples of all nations. Pray that God would help us to persevere as we seek to journey with new believers. Pray that God would bring onto our path those who have yet to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Pray that Klang Wesley would be a church that point people to Jesus.

Tuesday, (Nov 2) – Pray for the Nation: Pray that Budget 2022 will spur economic growth and improve the well-being of the rakyat as the nation moves to recover from the pandemic. Pray for godly wisdom for the government to be able to achieve the three focus areas targeted: namely improving the people’s well-being (especially for those in the B40 sector), helping businesses build resilience, and creating a prosperous and sustainable economy. Pray that the allocation of RM4.8 billion under Budget 2022 to generate 600,000 jobs will benefit those who are currently jobless, and give them the opportunity to rebuild their earning capacity.

Wednesday, (Nov 3) – Uphold all our Small/Cell Groups in prayer. Pray that we would be able to encourage one another through these groups. Pray for God’s wisdom and guidance to be upon all Small/Cell group leaders as they lead their respective groups. Pray that each leader will truly experience God’s love and faithfulness in their hearts. Pray also that God would raise more people to step up to become Small/Cell group leaders.

Thursday, (Nov 4) – The Leaders’ Planning Session for Klang Wesley was postponed from last weekend to this coming Saturday, November 6, 2021. As the LCEC members and Cell Leaders meet to plan for the year ahead, pray that they will be sensitive to the Holy Spirit’s promptings. Pray for a spirit of unity and love to prevail. Pray that our church leaders will want God’s will above everything else. Pray that the Lord will grant them wisdom and guide their discussions and thoughts, and keep their hearts tuned to His heart. Pray that the planning session will be interactive and productive and that all that is planned for the year ahead will be in accordance with God’s sovereign will for the church. Pray for God’s protection upon the planning meeting and upon all our leaders and their respective families.

Friday, (Nov 5) – Pray for TRAC: Pray for Bishop Joshua Khong (TRAC Bishop) and Mr Yap Koon Roy (Conference Secretary). Both are in their first year of holding these important positions in TRAC. The 46th Session TRAC is less than one month away, and will be held online on 20th November 2021. Pray that they will lean upon God’s strength always. Pray for God’s wisdom and guidance upon them. Pray that they will diligently serve God and the people. Pray for good health for them and for God’s protection upon then and their respective families.

Saturday, (Nov 6) – Pray for the World: The US Food and Drug Administration has authorised the use of the BioNTech/Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine for children aged 5 to 11 years. The vaccine will be administered in “kid-sized” doses in two jabs three weeks apart. Pray that this vaccine will soon be made available to children all over the world, and vaccinating younger children against COVID-19 will bring the world closer to returning to a sense of normalcy.
