20th October

Leonard:

My devotion: bible says “Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law” Please imagine that you have a pet, dog… You have kept it tied to a tree… The dog will remain on the leash, he knows was limited to where he can go, chase and play… One day, you untie the dog collar… He still has the same limited mentality… Same to us, Christ had set us free 2000 years ago… We should stop our limited and low self esteem mentality… We all are Christ disciples, we should have abundant life just like Abraham’s seeds, and he was wealthy, prosperous, fear God, productive long life… So you decide what you are today?

My devotion: Leviticus-thanks God for sending us Jesus Christ as our soul savior and cleanse all sins that we’ve done, instead of offerings. From bible I can see many people will bring offerings lined up to give the Priest. As bible said “If a person sins and does what is forbidden in any of the Lord’s commands, even though he does not know it, he is guilty and will be held responsible.” Hope that God will open our eyes, guide us to not to do sins.

Amy:

Ephesians 4:2 “Be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s faults because of your love.” The phrase “be patient” means a lot to me, I am, these days, feeling some kind of irritation towards certain people and things. I know I should forgive, for God has shed His blood to die for our sins, for His sacrificial love, we really don’t have the reason for not forgiving others. V4 “…and bind yourselves together with peace” once again reminds me of forgiving to have harmony and peace with others. Be patient and endure whatever may happen and wait for His timing!!

Jenifer:

Psalm 3:3,4 we’re easily affected by other people. Small doubts like “why spend so much time/money on God/church” will poison our mind, giving Satan a chance to attack. But God rose and shield us. He sheltered us from harm. I lifted my head up and look at His glorious face. “Don’t cry. For you are worthy.” He said to me.

Ivy:

God is a just God, and He sees not just what we are doing but why we are doing it.. Because of our unselfishness, because you prefer others, one day God will say to you, "as far as you can see, I'm going to give it to you." Go for extra mile, we'll not lose anything.. Amen! So I'm learning to give with whole-heartedly..
