Reasons To Pray

Posted on February 1, 2020 by Editorial Team

What motivates you to talk with God? Throughout the Scriptures, we are commanded to pray. In fact, Jesus—the Son of God—considered prayer so essential that He regularly left the crowds to seek time alone with His Father (Mark 1:35; Luke 5:16). Any relationship requires communication if it is to grow and flourish, and that includes our relationship with God.

David was a man who knew the Lord intimately. Since he recorded many of his prayers in the psalms, we are able to catch a glimpse of his heart as he poured out his soul before the Lord. Psalm 25 shows us five reasons that we, too, should come to God in prayer:

1. Guidance (Show me Your paths and teach me to follow; guide me by Your truth and instruct me. You keep me safe, and I always trust You. Psalm 25:4-5).

If we ask, the Lord will lead and teach us.

2. Forgiveness (Forget each wrong I did when I was young. Show how truly kind You are and remember me. Be true to Your name, Lord, by forgiving each one of my terrible sins. Psalm 25:7 & 11).

Each day we need God’s cleansing for sin and His power to repent and turn back to Him.

3. Decisions (You will show the right path to all who worship You. Psalm 25:12).

When we reverentially fear God, He instructs us in the way we should choose.

4. Trouble (I am lonely and troubled. Show that You care and have pity on me. My awful worries keep growing. Rescue me from sadness. See my troubles and misery and forgive my sins. Psalm 25:16-18).

When we’re overwhelmed by difficulties, no one can comfort us like the Lord.

5. Protection (Look at all my enemies! See how much they hate me. I come to You for shelter. Protect me, keep me safe, and don’t disappoint me. Psalm 25:19-20).

God is the One who guards our soul and rescues us from the enemy’s attacks.

When we seek the Lord, He becomes our refuge. God understands our weaknesses and invites us to come to Him with all our concerns. It’s in the intimacy of prayer that we learn to know His faithfulness, compassion, and love. Then we can say, as David did, “O my God, in You I trust” (Psalm 25:2).

(DR CHARLES STANLEY)

God Wants To Work A Miracle In You

Posted on January 23, 2020 by Editorial Team

In John 2: 1-11, Jesus was attending a wedding just like you and I do. Although weddings are expensive today, they were even more so in Jesus’ day. The feast would last for many days and the guests who were invited ate and drank their fill. You can imagine how important keeping the tables full would have been to a groom.

One of the reasons for such an extravagant feast was to pay back those who had provided a wonderful wedding feast for you to attend in the past. When the wine ran out it was a cultural faux pas (embarrassing blunder), and could have caused the bridegroom much shame. Jesus understood this aspect of His culture and so when His mother came to Him, He did not hesitate to help.

It is significant Jesus’ first miracle happened at a wedding. All of the miracles Jesus did throughout His ministry were focused on helping other people. He healed people, He multiplied bread and fish so they could eat, and He raised people from the dead. Although turning water into wine may not seem as incredible as making a blind person see, it is still a very important miracle. Jesus showed He wasn’t just interested in the big or spectacular, but also the small and seemingly commonplace.

When Jesus went to the wedding feast in Cana, He had not yet begun His ministry. When His mother came to Him, He told her this very thing. However, that did not stop Him from performing a miracle. Jesus took everyday objects—jars and water—at a common event—a wedding—and made them extraordinary. Jesus wants to do this in every person’s life. When we slow down and take time to look at our lives it is easy to see God coming alongside of us transforming the common, everyday events into extraordinary life changing experiences.

Sometimes we will not see incredible miracles in our lifetime. We may not know someone who is healed. But God is still at work. He is at work in the ordinary things of our lives. When we choose to live our lives for Him, we will see His hand in our lives wherever we look. We have to make the choice, though. You can’t just hope the blessings of God will come no matter what you do; you have to live for Jesus. When you do, He will work a miracle in you!

Reflection:

  •  Where do you need to see the hand of Jesus turning the ordinary things of your life into extraordinary things?
  • Have you been looking for “out of this world” miracles, missing the little ways God wants to bless you?
  • Will you choose today to live your life for Jesus so He can work a miracle in you?                                                                                                                 (CHURCH OF THE NAZARENE)

Prayer Points: January 26, 2020

Posted on January 23, 2020 by Editorial Team

Sunday, (Jan 26) – Pray that God will take the water of our commonplace lives and turn it into wine, changing our ordinary lives through His great power into something full of love. joy, peace, grace, beauty and strength. Pray that God will help us shed the old wineskins of things that no longer serve us or Him. Pray He will make us into new wineskins, flexible and able to receive what He desires to pour into our lives. During this Chinese New Year season, as we visit friends and relatives, pray that we will find opportunities to tell them about Jesus, the One who can turn the water of their commonplace lives and change it into wine too.

Monday, (Jan 27) – Pray for the Nation: On behalf of the nation, seek God for His forgiveness for the sins of racial discrimination, racial discord, corruption & bribery, cheating, lying, robbing the poor and denying them of their privileges and rights, shedding blood of innocent lives, practicing black magic and witchcraft. Pray that as a nation, we will turn from our sins, and seek justice and righteousness, racial harmony, religious freedom, to look into the felt needs and rights of the poor, and to raise the living standards of the Orang Asli and Orang Asal.

Tuesday, (Jan 28) – Pray for the families in church that God will bless them with His favour. Pray that He will provide for all of their needs, and protect them from harm and evil. Pray that the Lord will lead them into His perfect truth and help them to be the families He intends them to be. Pray that He will help family members to be a blessing to one another. Pray that the Lord will grant them compassionate hearts, and fill them with His love that does not keep records of wrong, and that He will bring joy to their hearts when they think of one another. Pray that God will fill their homes with His love, perfect peace and unity.

Wednesday, (Jan 29) – Pray for the following events / seminars in church: Keys To Health, Wholeness & Fruitfulness (FIC); XEE Semester 20 and Cell Group Gathering – Seek and Soak. Pray for God’s wisdom, guidance and anointing upon all those who will be facilitating these programmes. Pray that our church members will wholeheartedly support, and sign up for these programmes. Pray that for all those who attend these programmes, they will be blessed, and grow in their understanding of who God is, so that their relationship with Him will be deepened.

Thursday, (Jan 30) – Pray for the Membership and Baptism Class that will begin on February 16, 2020. Pray that those who have not been baptized will take a step of faith to make this commitment to be identified as belonging to Christ. Pray also for the Youth Baptism Class that will be beginning soon, that the youths will also take this step of faith. Pray that the Holy Spirit will prepare the hearts and minds of these adults and youths so that they will understand, and be committed to what they learn in the baptism classes.

Friday, (Jan 31) – Pray for TRAC: Pray for more pastors to come into TRAC. There are very few persons coming into TRAC to be pastors. So the need for more pastors is great. Pray that God will call more people to come into the pastoral ministry. Pray that the normal barriers will be overcome. Pray for young men and women to join TRAC as pastors. Pray that God will use platforms like Jeremiah School to be instrumental towards this goal in the near future.

Saturday, (Feb 1) – Pray for the World: In China, sometimes members of the Communist Party are caught attending church worship services, and will be dismissed from their jobs. University students are pressured to deny Christ or else be failed in their courses, which would make it difficult for them to get decent employment. Pray that God will intervene to provide jobs for those who lose their livelihoods because of their devotion to Christ. Pray that, in the coming 12 months, many more people in China, where about 150 million are Christians, will be called out of darkness into His wonderful light.

The Stewardship Of Christ

Posted on January 18, 2020 by Editorial Team

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (John 1:1)

The Incarnation of Christ has profound implications for Christian stewardship. In the wisdom of God, to redeem man from his sin required the Son to become a Man Himself …

If stewardship, in its simplest implication, is about giving, then John 1:1 confronts the world with the most sublime gift ever given, the most astounding act of generosity that can be imagined. As a monument to the unsurpassed stewardship of the Son of God, the Incarnation rises high above the horizon of all other demonstrations of giving …

God presented His most valuable gift to man in the Eternal Word made flesh. Once in the world, Jesus the Incarnate Son then gave Himself to the Father in complete submission, and to the world as the Servant from God. In His earthly existence, Jesus was a Steward charged with a divine mandate. Stewardship can be defined as “the obedient management of life and all its resources under the guidance of the Holy Spirit to the glory of God and the advancement of His kingdom.”

Jesus fulfilled His role of steward perfectly:

No matter how difficult the testing became, no matter how demanding the giving of self, no matter how costly in terms of friendship, following, or popularity, Jesus managed His life faithfully. When ultimately such perfect management meant giving up His life for the cause of the kingdom of God, Jesus was willing, and He did so. He made no exception to His total stewardship of life for anything, including His life itself …

Looking at a world filled with people facing the death sentence of sin, Jesus Christ laid aside the riches of heaven and came to be Savior. As He walked the earth, He continued to give His all, managing every opportunity, every gift, every resource, for the glory of God and the building of His kingdom. Even faced with death, He gave His last treasure, His own life, to save the lives of others. He went to the cross with no regret that if He had been a better steward, He might have done more. He had done everything God wanted of Him, and He became the Master Steward, both Savior of humanity and example to those who would follow Him.

Reflect upon it:
• How is the Word made flesh the most valuable gift ever?

• In what ways was Jesus a servant and a steward?

• How does the Spirit guide your endeavors as a steward?
(PASTOR ROBERT SIMMS)
