25th

Amy:

James 5 talks about patience. All of us need patience to endure whatever difficulties in life. Don’t grumble about each other. Besides, God wants us to be courageous. In this chapter also, God asks us to pray constantly as prayer is powerful. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and wonderful results.

Ivy:

Mark 8:18 You have eyes, can’t you see? Do you see yourself as a victor, rising higher in life? Lord sees us the best in Him. See the people who we loved with hope and faith, and God says it is done.

Leonard:

Do your find your worried a lot of things and get stress up easily? The scripture tells us to “dwell on things that are pure, things that are wholesome, things that are of a good report”. If you’ll replace those thoughts of worry with thought of hope, faith and victory, then you will retrain your mind. The KEY to success is to find something with which you can replace the negative habit.

Jennifer:

Nahum 3 “I’m against you” declares the Lord. The people of Nineveh sinned against God so bad until God is unable to forgive them. God is gracious, but he cannot be mocked. If we’ve sinned in the past, God deeply wants to forgive us if we turn to him. Only those who persist Him will fail to be forgiven. Let’s pray for His forgiveness.

Amy:

James 4:2-3 Sometimes we don’t get what we want is because we don’t even ask from God. But sometimes we don’t get because our motive is wrong. Often we want something just to fulfil our pleasure, not what we really need. God won’t grant us on that. So, don’t blame God but reflect us. Wait for God’s timing and follow His will.

Leonard:

Scripture says “there is no temptation that will come to you that you can’t overcome. God will always make a way of escape”. So bro and sis, no matter how tired you are or how much assignments that you are rushing now, never let the temptations to stop you to get closer with God, start to do your devotion now if you have missed it this morning. Be an example to your sheep or other believers. Be a leader, rather than follower; be head rather than tail.

Leonard:

“Habits are like gravity, they will always pull you towards them”. If you develop good habits, they’ll make your life easier, more successful and more productive. You’ll be happy, naturally and you will experience God’s abundant life. But if you establish bad habits, they’ll inevitably drag you down. You’ll gravitate towards them!

Amy:

James 3 talks about controlling tongue. Literally, it means controlling our words. Words can kill if they are not spoken properly. Often, we don’t think before we talk, while our words may sometime hurt. We need wisdom to talk properly and behold our tongue. True wisdom comes from God. The wisdom from heaven is pure. Seek for Him!

22nd

Ivy:

Hebrews 11:17,27. When God tested Abraham, offered Isaac as a sacrifice, he received the promises. Every one of us has our own promised land, but do we receive it by faith? By faith Moses left Egypt, not fearing the king’s anger, because he saw Him who is invisible. Do we look ahead for what God has for us and always trust in the invisible but Almighty one?

Leonard:

A story to share tonight. “Son, on the inside of every one a battle is raging between two wolves. One is evil. It’s angry, jealous, unforgiving, proud and lazy. The other wolf is good and filled with love, kindness, humility and self control. These two wolves are constantly fighting”, said the grandfather. The little boy asked, “Grandfather, which wolf is going to win?” He smiled and said, “whichever one you feed” You have the answer?

Jennifer:

Eccles 2. This book is written by Solomon. He tried to find heaven on earth by his wealth and possession. But in the end he felt dissatisfied because he didn’t want to leave earth. In Colossians 3 Paul advised to “set your mind on things above, not on things on earth”. So don’t try to find heaven on earth, because you won’t!

Amy:

James 2 talks about the topic of prejudice. It teaches us not to judge and treat others with certain bias. For example, when you treat rich people far more than poor ones, it can be discrimination which shows we are guided by wrong motives. V8 “love your neighbour as yourself”. No prejudice! Everyone’s the same in God!!

21st

Amy:

James 1 talks about faith and endurance. Christians are sometimes lacking of faith, especially when facing troubles. But God says; whenever trouble comes your way, let it be an opportunity for joy! God wants to test our faith by troubles, so that our endurance can grow. Should really lay full faith in God!

Khen:

你爱神吗? 什么原因爱祂呢? 我爱耶和华因为祂听我的声音和我的恳求, 祂既向我侧耳, 所以我要一生求告这位那么爱我的上帝. 是祂救了我的命, 救了我的脚免了踏上阴间巴士. 主我要向你求告我所爱的家人也要踏上你为他们预备的救恩巴士.

Ivy:

Psalm 118:18,26 The Lord has chastened me severely, but He has not given me over to death. Sometimes, everything seems to be hopeless, but God used to teach us important lessons about life, danger and trust in Him. He has promised that blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. He will grant us success.

Leonard:

The apostle Paul said, “All things are permissible to me, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful, but I will not be mastered by anything.” Notice, Paul is saying in effect, “I’m going to rid myself of anything that is not profitable or productive in my life.” He was saying, “I’m not going to stay under the control of my bad habits but develop a positive life!” Let start your life with Powerful Positive words.

Jennifer:

Revelation 21. Do you wish you’ll wake up in the morning to be loved by the person you love most? Wake up without feeling guilty about anything at all? Wake up breathing God as if He were air? Loving to love Him everyone else? If you do wish so, rejoice! Because this is what heaven will be like. Let’s all be prepared go to God’s home!

Ivy Khor:

Act 2:38 “repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins and you’ll receive the gift of the Holy Spirit”. God has His time to give those who already believe in Him, and have commitment to Christ the gift of Holy Spirit, be patient and desire for it. It is important for you to have a correct mindset no matter you already accepted and/or before that. Welcome the Holy Spirit, fill us more and more.
