Sunday, (June 13) – As the number of daily COVID-10 cases has yet to dip below 4,000 and the number of daily deaths are still high, the government has extended the full MCO for another 2 weeks until June 28. 2021. Pray that the people will do their part to help break the chain of infection by conscientiously observing all the SOPs. Pray that the government will do its utmost to help small businesses so they would not have to close down because of the full MCO extension, e.g. instructing banks to extend loan repayment moratoriums until the situation has stabilised. Pray also that the vaccination programme will be speeded up so that the nation will be able to achieve herd immunity as quickly as possible.

Monday, (June 14) – Praise God that He has given us Jesus to be our Saviour, that He is the chief cornerstone of our faith, and we have been positioned in Christ and clothed in His righteousness. Thank Him for His unchangeable and unchanging Word which is the foundation upon which our faith must be anchored. Pray that the Lord will keep us ever watchful for the false teachings and doctrines that are flooding the church today, and that He will empower us to hold fast to the truth of His Word. Pray that He will help us to stand firm looking to Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith and the only secure foundation upon whom we stand.

Tuesday, (June 15) – Pray for the Nation: Pray for the political situation in the nation. Pray for divine wisdom and courage upon the Yang di-Pertuan Agong as he meets with the leaders of the various political parties. Pray for the Council of Rulers, for unity and wisdom, as the sultans meet tomorrow, June 16, that the Council will make wise decisions concerning the reinstatement of Parliament and the political future of the nation. Pray that God will grant us leaders of integrity who will look beyond just winning the next election, but who are committed to working towards finding solutions to the health, economic and social issues plaguing the country.

Wednesday, (June 16) – Ask God for forgiveness for the times when we have elevated ourselves above others who may not have the same heritage, background, social or financial status we have been granted. Pray that God will keep us humble before Him, that we may know and affirm that every member in the Body of Christ is equally important to Him, and each one has his/her specific role to play. As He has broken down every barrier that divides us, pray that we will strive to live together in perfect unity as a holy temple in the Lord, a dwelling in which God lives by His Spirit

Thursday, (June 17) – It has been more than a year since Klang Wesley has been able to have physical face-to-face meetings. Pray for all the ministries that have been meeting online – the Cell Groups, Youths, Sunday School, Boys’ Brigade and Youth Baptism & Membership Class. Thank God that these groups have been able to meet online via Zoom. Pray that all the people will continue to grow and deepen in their faith despite not being able to meet physically. Pray especially for the Youths and Sunday School that the teenagers and children will not give up on these online meetings. Pray for those in charge of these meetings to find creative and interesting ways to conduct their respective meetings.

Friday, (June 18) – Pray for TRAC: Bishop Joshua Khong has undertaken to connect with all TRAC pastors on a monthly basis by hosting online meetings, District by District, from June. The first round of online meetings have been fruitful. Pray that God will continue to do His good work in the life of Bishop Joshua, especially in his first year of leading TRAC from the helm. Pray that TRAC pastors may find these meetings beneficial as an avenue to share with fellow District pastors about their personal and church needs.

Saturday, (June 19) – Pray for the World: USA, Canada and some nations in Europe are slowly reopening as the COVID-19 cases in these nations seem to be under control. Pray that the governments of these nations will continue to be cautious and alert and be ready to act quickly in the event of any new outbreaks. As many nations in Asia, Africa and South America continue to battle with increasing numbers of COVID-19 cases, pray that God will intervene and bring down the number of cases in these nations.

“So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God’s household, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the corner stone, in whom the whole building, being fitted together, is growing into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together into a dwelling of God in the Spirit.” [Ephesians 2:19-22]

That is what God is aiming at in our salvation: a new people (“one new man”: “…and made in Himself out of the two, Jew and Gentile, one new man, thus producing peace” [Ephesians 2:15] ) that is so free from enmity and so united in truth and peace that God Himself is there for our joy and for His glory forever. That’s the aim of reconciliation: a place for God to live among us and make Himself known and enjoyed forever and ever.

The point is that God aims to create one new people in Christ who are reconciled to each other across racial lines. Not strangers. Not aliens. No enmity. Not far off. Fellow citizens of one Christian “city of God.” One temple for a habitation of God. And He did this at the cost of His Son’s life. We love to dwell on our reconciliation with God through the death of His Son. And well we should. It is precious beyond measure to have peace with God.

But let us also dwell on this: that God ordained the death of His Son to reconcile alien people groups to each other in one body in Christ. This too was the design of the death of Christ. Think on this: Christ died to take enmity and anger and disgust and jealousy and self-pity and fear and envy and hatred and malice and indifference away from your heart toward all other persons who are in Christ by faith–whatever the race.

If we want the meaning and the worth and the beauty and the power of the cross of Christ to be seen and loved in our churches, and if the design of the death of His Son is not only to reconcile us to God but to reconcile alienated ethnic groups to each other in Christ, then will we not display and magnify the cross of Christ better by more and deeper and sweeter ethnic diversity and unity in our worship and life?

(JOHN PIPER)

Meditate
Is there any person that you think does not deserve God’s gift of forgiveness and mercy? Is there anyone that should be excluded from His family?

It’s important for us to remember that we have been included into God’s family… not because of our talent, goodness or background. This same inclusive spirit should flow from us. Knowing that we have received such incredible mercy should motivate us to reach those who do not look like, smell like, sound like or act like us. This is what Jesus did.

Apply
Ask Jesus to open your eyes to people who are very different from you. Ask Him for a word or an act of kindness that you can approach that person with. Be inclusive like Jesus.

ONLINE BANKING

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:

Pledge Payment can be done via Online to Wesley Methodist Church Klang Bank Account No: UOB 171-315-561-1

Imagine yourself walking into your favorite coffee shop. The barista (a person who makes and serves coffee) greets you by name and starts making your drink before you even order. That feeling of being known, of being cared for personally, that’ll change the way you approach your day.

In Ephesians 2:10 – We are . . . created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do – Paul writes that God created each of us to fulfill a plan and purpose. The same way the barista was ready and waiting for you to step into the coffee shop, God is prepped and ready for us to step into the “good works he’s prepared in advance for us to do.”

Think about that. God had a plan and purpose for your life before you had a relationship with Him. The MESSAGE paraphrases it this way: “God does both the making and saving. He creates each of us by Christ Jesus to join Him in the work He does, the good work He has gotten ready for us to do, work we had better be doing” (Ephesians 2:9-10).

Serving others isn’t about earning God’s favor or paying Him back for our salvation. It’s a way to discover how God made us and to join Him in changing the world.

When we say ‘yes’ to fulfilling God’s plan and purpose for our lives, we move from consumer to server. We step behind the counter, rubbing shoulders with our heavenly Father as we learn to see the world the way He does. And pretty soon, we find we’re just like the barista — getting joy from caring for others the way God cares us.

For Your Reflection:

• Think about the last time someone went out of their way to prepare an experience for you. How did it make you feel? Does it change your view of serving to know that God has prepared you for this all along?

• Are you serving in the church? What’s your favorite part of what you get to do? If you’re not serving, why not?

(NEWSPRING CHURCH)

Sunday, (June 6) – Praise God that because of His grace, He raised us from death in transgressions and sins to life in Christ Jesus, and re-created broken people like us to be His masterpieces. Pray that we will honour Him by doing the good works He has prepared in advance for us to do. Thank Him for the many gifts and talents He has given to each of us. Pray that He will give us guidance every day in how is best to use our time, efforts and talents. Pray that He will help us walk the path He is guiding us on, and that our actions will reflect His character. Pray that our lives will be lived to serve Him in our words and actions to His praise and glory.

Monday, (June 7) – The daily COVID-19 cases continue to be above 7,000 and the number of deaths has surpassed 3,000 since the pandemic emerged last year. Pray that the rakyat will take responsibility to discipline themselves and take all the necessary precautions so that the chain of infection will be broken. More than 85,000 infants and children have tested positive for COVID-19 so far. Pray that parents and guardians will be more vigilant and responsible in protecting their children from being infected, such as by avoiding crowded places. Pray for courage and tenacity for the frontliners, and that God will sustain them and care for them and their families, as they care for the sick.

Tuesday, (June 8) – Pray for the Church in Malaysia that even as the nation is going through a crisis with the pandemic, His people will choose not to fear but to take refuge in the Lord. Pray that we will continue to reach out to Him by faith, in praise and prayer, that we may receive the peace and security that only He can bring. Pray that God’s people will remain in fervent prayer and intercession, and He will fill us with His peace that we might be His witnesses to those in our community in need of everlasting hope and peace. Pray that God will give His people sensitive ears and eyes to see those who are in need during this difficult time, and to offer help to them that they may see the love of Christ in our actions.

Wednesday, (June 9) – Pray for the Nation: Pray for divine wisdom for the government, for the elected officials and the relevant authorities to manage effectively through this new MCO full lockdown so as to bring down the COVID-19 cases. Praise God for the Selangor state government that has started coronavirus mass testing and pray that more state governments will also do likewise for their own states to commence mass testing. Pray that the government will be more efficient and be able to manage the vaccination roll-out more effectively. Pray that sufficient vaccine supply is made available so that lives are protected and livelihoods restored. Pray also that the political leaders will exercise leadership by example and be more proactive in following all the SOPs.

Thursday, (June 10) – Pray for workers in a variety of industries who again are facing layoffs and financial hardship because of the full MCO. Pray that God will keep them from anxiety and that churches and NGO organisations will come to generously support them. Pray for job recoveries and for employers to be compassionate to all affected employees, including daily wage earners and migrant workers. Pray for those infected with the virus that God sustain and strengthen their bodies and spirit, and bring healing upon them. Pray for those suffering from long-haul COVID-19 that they will make full recoveries. Pray also for God’s comfort and peace upon those who have lost family members to the coronavirus, and from other sicknesses.

Friday, (June 11) – Pray for TRAC: As the nation is currently under full MCO until mid-June with future uncertainty as to how long the full MCO will last, TRAC churches have to resort to pre-recording segments of the worship service and editing these for one complete Sunday worship service. Pray especially for smaller TRAC churches that lack the mulitimedia personnel to do this. Pray also for the more needy people in church communities that their financial needs will be met. Pray for protection upon TRAC pastors who have to carry out their duties whenever a death occurs in their respective churches.

Saturday, (June 12) – Pray for the World: Asian countries like India, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and the Philippines are being ravaged by new variants of the coronavirus. Pray that their respective governments will act quickly, responsibly and competently. Pray that rich nations with stock of the vaccine and medical equipment will be willing to share their supplies with the poorer nations. Pray that God will intervene and stop the pandemic from worsening regionally and globally.
