Sunday, (Apr 11) – Praise God that He is in total control of the history of our world. Pray that the Lord will help us to have a correct perspective of Him so that our lives will be transformed.

Pray that knowing that ultimate victory belongs to God will grant us freedom from anxiety as we face trials and tests in this world. Pray that we will choose to trust God even when things that happen around us do not make sense. Pray that we will be strong and of good courage, and not compromise our faith as we await the return of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Monday, (Apr 12) – Give thanks to God for a meaningful Holy Week. Pray that as a church, we will continue to draw close to God through prayer and the reading of the Word.

Pray that as a community of God’s people, we may be able to spur and encourage one another. Pray for those who are battling illnesses. Pray for God’s grace to be their sufficient strength. Pray that their lives will be a living testimony of God’s goodness despite the illnesses.

Tuesday, (Apr 13) – Even as our church is now open for in-person services, pray for the Worship Ministry as the various worship teams prepare to lead worship in the new normal. Pray for unity and good coordination between all the team members. Pray that the members of the worship teams will continue to deepen their relationship with God, and lead out of the fullness of that relationship. Pray for God’s protection upon them. Pray also for the other ministries in the church, that although they are not able to meet physically, the Lord will bless those who are meeting via online, and that His people will continue to prosper in their relationship with Him.

Wednesday, (Apr 14) – As the daily COVID-19 infections continue to be in the four-digit range, and new daily infections are outweighing the recoveries, pray that the public will not let their guard down, but that each individual will take personal responsibility to follow the SOPs. With new clusters emerging due to unnecessary travels, pray that the rakyat will cooperate with the police as they will be increasing the number of road-blocks at state borders ahead of the fasting month.

Pray that students, parents, teachers and others involved in the education sector will do their part to prevent new clusters from emerging.

Thursday, (Apr 15) – Pray for the Nation: The 12th Sarawak State Election will be held on or before 7 August 2021 to elect the 19th Sarawak State Legislative Assembly.

Pray for this upcoming Sarawak State Elections, for the integrity of the election process to be upheld, and that honourable people of wisdom and moral uprightness to be raised as representatives of the people.

Saturday, (Apr 17) – Pray for the World: There seems to be a torrent of hate and violence against people of Asian descent around the United States that began in the early days of the coronavirus pandemic. Asian communities across the United States are on alert because of a surge in attacks against Asian-Americans over the past year. Pray that the government will pass laws against this upsurge of racist violence, and that the law enforcement authorities will do their part to protect the Asians in the country.

It’s Sunday and the disciples have assembled together. The disciples had met the Sunday before, but Thomas wasn’t with them. Thomas wasn’t there when Jesus appeared to them. The disciples shared the good news of Jesus’ resurrection, but Thomas said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.” (John 20:25)

Too bad Thomas missed that meeting. Had he made it, he would have experienced the bodily presence of Jesus and believed a week early. His doubt would have been erased and his faith would have been increased. But because Thomas missed that last meeting his doubt endured.

John 20:24 says that Thomas was also known as Didymus. Didymus means twin in the Greek, so who’s twin is he?

He’s the twin of you and he’s the twin of me.

Have you ever missed a meeting with the Lord? I know I have. Missing meetings means missing out. Missing out on experiencing fellowship with the body of Christ. Missing out on believing. Missing out on increased faith. Had Thomas made it to the first meeting he would have seen Jesus and believed. His doubt would have been erased and his faith would have been increased!

That’s what happens to us when we make meetings.

Because Thomas missed the last meeting his doubt endured. It’s the same with you and the same with me. When we miss meetings, when we miss hearing the Word of God whatever doubts we have endure.

No doubt Thomas had his reasons for missing. He worked hard all week so perhaps he was too tired. But whatever his reason, when he missed the meeting, he missed out on experiencing the presence of Jesus in a unique way. He missed out on the empowerment of the Holy Spirit. He missed out on a tremendous blessing.

Oh, twin of doubting Thomas, don’t you see that Thomas didn’t believe until he touched Jesus? Don’t you see it’s the same for you today? You won’t believe until you touch Him.

So touch Him. Study Jesus’ life in the Scriptures. Encounter Jesus with His believers. Do these things and you too will believe! Like Thomas, you too will find yourself responding to Him, saying, “My Lord and my God!”

Praise God that Jesus is our risen, ascended, and glorified God and Lord, who died to redeem us and rose to give us His resurrected life. Thank the Lord that even when we doubt Him and are faithless, He remains faithful to His promise that whosoever believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.

Thursday, (Apr 8) – Pray for the World: As the violence between protestors and the military junta in Myanmar escalates, the United Nations warned of the risk of a bloodbath because of an intensified crack-down on the anti-coup protestors. Pray that the call from nations around the world for a de-escalation of the situation and the further release of detainees will be heeded by the military regime. Pray that God will grant wisdom and success to the South-East Asian countries as they work together towards a peaceful solution in Myanmar. Pray that God will continue to protect the innocent civilians.

Friday, (Apr 9) – Pray for TRAC: Praise God that in Wesley Methodist Church Kuala Lumpur, a group of more than 10 persons were baptized during the Palm Sunday weekend following the SOPs. Pray that the children who were baptized will grow strong in the Lord, and their parents will faithfully nurture them in the ways of God as they grow. Pray that the adults who were baptized will take their faith seriously, and will grow in discipleship as they have made a lifelong commitment to follow Jesus.

Saturday, (Apr 10) – The El-Shaddai Refugee Learning Centre (ERLC) began 13 years ago with 22 students only. Today there are more than 1,000 students in main centres, and hundreds more in auxiliary centres found in various towns and cities in Malaysia. God has blessed this vital ministry to educate the refugee children in Malaysia. Recently, 8 students graduated from the International General Certificate of Secondary Education (ICGSE) with good grades. This is a watershed moment for ERLC. Pray that God will provide for all the needs of ERLC and that many students will turn to Christ. Pray also for all the teachers, volunteers and workers of the ERLC centres.
