2nd

Jennifer:

Joshua 1:9 “Be strong and courageous, do not be terrified or discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you whenever you go.” We should all learn from Joshua to have faith in God when going into battle, many have doubts for God, but Joshua never once doubts Him. Let us all be like Joshua in trusting God.

Leonard:

God said, “Jeremiah, I saw you before you were ever formed in your mother’s womb and I have chosen you to be a prophet to the nations.” You know what Jeremiah said? “God I can’t do that. I can’t speak to the nations. I’m too young, don’t know what to say.” God said, “Jeremiah, say NOT that you are too young.” God simply doesn’t want us to say such thing anymore, don’t use those words to curse our future. He wants us to change our words about our old self image and become courageous warrior! Do you always think that you don’t deserve a better prosperous and productive life?

Andrew:

“Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him, my savior and my God.” (Psalms 43:5) God, I feel exactly what the verse described now. Why should I feel stressed by the problem in front of me? I have Lord behind me who always support me. Sometimes I forgot about His presence and do the decision by my own. I’m still learning. O Lord please opens a way for His son and daughter. Amen.

Amy:

1 Timothy 5:18 “do not keep an ox from eating as it treads out the grain. Those who work deserve their pay.” There’s always a norm of the term “deserve”. How much we give out, that’s how much we will gain back. What more for a Christian? God won’t grant our wish if we don’t even put our efforts to pursue it. So, don’t blame God for not listening to our prayer. We should, instead, play our parts too. Try our very best and God will do the rest.

Miu:

我灵修得着: 创16-17章 以实玛利(亚伯拉罕与撒拉使女所生之子) 他虽不是上帝应许和承认亚伯拉罕生的孩子, 可是上帝并没有因他是不应许的缘故而诅咒, 离弃他. 上帝却精心地为他编排出路. 他后来当了十二个英勇名族之始祖. 那你呢? 你常想为何有我在这世界呢? 我是多余的, 没用的? 尽管你怎么想, 上帝是真实的. 你能够活在这世上, 全都由神精心地安排过, 没有神的恩典和应许, 你是不可能活着. 我们要常为这而感恩, 我们是神所爱的.

Ivy Khor:

Luke 22:53 “…when darkness reigns.” Nowadays is when darkness reigns, we have to be more alert! Keep holding Jesus’ hand; keep our faith, so that Satan won’t have chance to come near us. May God protect us, let us flee from temptation! Hallelujah!
