17th

Leonard:

The Song of Solomon is a biblical love story. Solomon praised his wife forty times. Listen brother! Being a male doesn’t make you a man. Treating people with dignity and respect makes you a man. Taking care of your wife and family makes you a man. Watching over your children makes you a man. Speaking blessings over your wife and children, that’s being a real man!

Jemima:

Bible verse to share: Luke 1:26-38 也许在我们有限的思维中, 我们实在不易明白神的能力有多大, 甚至祂做了奇事, 我们仍会问: 这是可能的吗? 这样我们的生命也只能限制在固有的地步, 无法经历神的能力. Open your eyes to see the unseen, to dream the impossible and have faith in God. No matter in what situation, God will make a way. Just believe and accept.

Andrew:

Hear my cry, O God; listen to my prayer. From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than i. for you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the foe.” (Psalms 61:1-3) For God who listens to our prayer, he gifts me eyes to listen surrounding’s voice. I’ve heard a lot of voices. God please show me the wisdom of words to comfort all my friends. I believe there is purpose for God to put us in suffering. Friends, don’t think give up your life as your pain is nothing to compare with Jesus who has crucified on the cross. He will understand our pain and will lead us to His way. Sleep well. Tomorrow is another blessed day again. Thanks God. Amen.

Ivy:

Judges 11. Jephthah didn’t follow God’s way; he didn’t trust God fully. At last, he had to sacrifice his own beloved daughter. Often, we try to bargain for God’s blessing and mix our own ideas, and choose not to follow His way. So, you want to be blessed? Only through His ways will bring you to a better life.

Amy:

Hebrews 10:36 “Patient endurance is what you need now”. Life is full of challenges. God wants us to endure all of these, so that we can grow even stronger and excel brightly. So, don’t easily give up, but patiently endure. Do your best and God will do the rest. This is especially for all of the fifth formers who are going to sit for SPM tomorrow!

Ivy Khor:

John 16:33 “…in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world”. Stand firm in believing Jesus Christ when you are in trouble, for God is the one who gives us peace and love. God can handle everything! We should know that god will only allow a certain level of difficulties that we can handle to come to us, He always take care of us. We should remember that, God is victorious!

Amy:

Hebrews 9:12 “He took His own blood, and with it He secured our salvation forever”. How can one be so merciful to sacrifice oneself to save others? People will just, naturally, save oneself in prior of any other things. But God is so kind; He is willing to sacrifice Himself to save the world. What kind of sacrificial love!!

Jennifer:

Jobs 34:23 “God has no need to examine men further, they should come before Him for judgement”. Sometimes I’ll wonder, is life fair? Is God fair? Yes. God is justice. He promised no evil will go unpunished, no good will go unrewarded. Don’t think that evil always win, because in justice world, we have God as judge!

Andrew:

“And he has given us this command: whoever loves God must also love his brother.” (1 John 4:21). For those who love God, he has to love his surrounding people. This is a basic of love. Love other like I love myself. I tell myself to be observant, concern to surrounding. I care my friends’ needs as they are my friends. Whoever is willing to see their friends unhappy around you? So do love your surrounding people with a heart of Jesus’ love.

Leonard:

Solomon was the wisest man who ever lived. His book of wisdom encourages a husband to look his wife in the eyes and tell her “there are many beautiful women in the world, but you excel them all”. An old man found that his wife got Parkinson illness one day and started to forget him. This old man quit his job as a CEO of a listed company, but all the board of directors tried to stop his resignation. The CEO looked into their eyes and said, “I made a commitment to this woman over fifty years ago. She may not know who I am now, but I know who she is.” This is called commitment!

Ivy Khor:

约翰15:16 “不是你们拣选了我, 是我拣选了你们; 并且分派你们去结果子, 叫你们的果子常存, 使你们奉我的名, 无论向父求什么, 他就赐给你们.” 既然主耶稣拣选了我们, 我们就该因此而感谢神. 为其他人救赎和灵命而祷告, 家人更少不了. 让他们知道主耶稣基督才是真神, 道路和真理! 沉睡的灵啊, 是时候醒悟了! 切勿放弃寻求神的话语! 神有可能会拿走我们的恩典, 恩赐, 恩膏, 救赎和一切的一切! 做错事情? 奉主耶稣的名跪在神面前悔改, 宣告说从此做上帝喜悦的事! 求主帮助我们每一位华宣的弟兄姐妹, 兴起来为主做更大的事! 阿门!

Jennifer:

Deuteronomy 32:5 “They have acted corruptly toward him. They’re no longer his children.” The Israelites disobeyed God’s commandments. They chose to no longer be God’s children. But in God’s eyes, even though they’ve cease to be his children for a while, they’re not separated from God, as God sent a saviour to save us.

Karl:

Romans 11 talks about God salvation for Jews and Gentiles. We should thank God for we are saved and made right by faith. Jews are God chosen people because of His promises to Abraham, Isaac and Jacobs. Bro and sis, do you think Jews are saved and why? Please share.

Leonard:

The Old Testament records a time when Nehemiah was rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem. The walls had been torn down years previously, and the enemy was coming against God’s people, against their homes, their wives and children, while the men worked on the construction crews. The situation got so bad that Nehemiah instructed his men to work with a hammer in one hand and a sword in the other. He encouraged them “Men, fight for your sons, fight for your wives, fight for your families”. Nehemiah 4:14. See a lesson here. If you fight, then God will fight with you.

Ivy:

1 Corinthians 15:10 “But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect… yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me” Who am I? I love this song. He told us who we are. He feels our hurt; He experiences everything that we experienced. Thanks God!

Ivy Khor:

John 14:6 Jesus answered. “I’m the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” You’re the only one that I could live for. Hallelujah! We believe by faith without by sight. Bro and sis, let us stand firm in what we believe in now and keep growing up in our spiritual life as we had already know the way to go back to our Father’s house (heaven). We will get the salvation! Amen!

Amy:

Hebrews 6:11 “loving others as long as life lasts” Love others; it’s a great command from God. Today, a friend of mine faced some problems with friends, and he seemed really depressed. God speaks to me, to pass these words to him, “love and forgiveness are the ways to peace”. Hopefully he may solve the problem with God’s guidance!! God is always great. Seek for Him whenever and wherever. Thing which seems impossible in men is possible in God!!

Andrew:

“Then men will say, ‘surely the righteous still are rewarded; surely there is a God who judges the earth’.” (Psalms 58:11) Be wrong is not okay. This mindset always hunts our mind so that we easily fall into traps. Always be right in everything we do. Choice is always on our hand. Not one can force us to decide, but you yourself are the owner of choice. To be right or to be wrong?

Leonard:

If today you have an argument with someone, let’s read Genesis 13. Abraham dealt the conflict with Lot over the land. That strife would eventually bring turmoil to the whole family. So Abraham was the elder gentlemen and should able to choose the best price of land, but he willingly to let Lot to take advantage on him and choose the best land. Sometimes, no matter how much it hurts, you may have let the other person do it his way just so you can avoid unnecessary conflicts. It may not fair, but that doesn’t matter. Let it go and trust God to make the best for you.

Ivy Khor:

John 13:10 “A person who has had a bath needs only to wash his feet; his whole body is clean.” If your heart, mind, and soul had already being cleansed (transformed), you just need to fill by more and more Holy Spirit to get closer to God. However, if you still haven’t being cleansed, you might need help. Firstly, prayers will do, open the door for God to enter your heart, as He will bring you transformation to be closer to Him. Secondly, ask from leaders. As their spiritual life is grown up more than you, and they will always stand by for you. Thirdly, self control. You should hold responsible for your own spiritual life.

Amy:

Today I came across this verse from a friend’s blog: “only God knows everything, for He is the ruler over all the things”. He is the origins of all the things, so seek for Him in everything, as He knows what we need. Also, need not to worry about anything, as God is in control over the earth, He controls over us as well, what for to worry?

Ivy:

Judges 8:27 Gideon and Israelites relied on God to defeat their enemies but when they were delivered, they worshipped ephod. They forgot how God had helped them throughout all the circumstances. Often, we seek for God when we need Him, but abandon Him when we are not in need. Without Him, we are actually nothing. Don’t take it for granted!

Andrew:

“I cry out to God Most High, to God, who fulfils His purpose for me. He sends from heaven and saves me, rebuking those who hotly pursue me; God sends His love and His faithfulness.” (Psalms 57:2-3) Thanks for giving me a pack yet meaningful day. I went to my school today. Student Christian Fellowship. I saw owl during the worship. The owl is watching over us all the time. His eyes never away from us. He keeps watching us from heaven as he loves us. So do when you are suffering sadness or sticking into troubles, he will know it and try to help you. He never abandons us in anytime. Thank you Lord for keeping your eyes on me all the time, so that I won’t lose in the midst of world. Without God, there is no me today. Amen.

Leonard:

Judges 6:12-16 “the Lord is with you, mighty warrior” God called Gideon as Mighty Warrior even he sees himself as the weakest and least in the family. Today, God sees you and me as Mighty Warrior because our spiritual bloodline is from the King of the King. We have a supernatural power from our Lord. We may be young but we never see ourselves as a weaker. Always stand firm in God, as a mighty warrior and dare to fight over all of our spiritual warfare in this reality world. God’s promise is always relevance to us without timing resistance. Yes, I’m talking to you! My mighty warrior.

Ivy Khor:

John 12:27 “now my heart is troubled, and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour? No, it was for this very reason I came to this hour. Father, glory is your name!” When you are struggling in problems will you choose to obey God’s will or ignore Him? As a Christian we should have obey God’s word with actions taken. No matter what you are facing, remember that He is always with you. Every God’s planning got its own reasons behind. We can’t see things as a full, but God does. May God help us. Glorify God’s name whenever you do. God is always our priority one in life.

Amy:

Hebrews chapter 5 describes those who are still immature as babies who drink only milk and can’t eat solid food, while solid food is for those who are mature in their spiritual life. Today, which are you? If we are the babies who live on milk, we should reflect ourselves, and take up alternatives to be one who lives on solid food. And, when we are mature enough in our spiritual life, we shall teach others about God’s words; this is a commandment from God!
