19th

Leonard:

Scripture says people will know us by our fruit. They’re not going to know us by how many bumper stickers we have on our car. People are going to know that we are believers when we meet real needs by doing good works. When you see your friend struggling for a meal, why don’t you buy him one or bless him. Jesus said, “when you do it to the least of one of these, it’s like you are doing it for Me”. That’s why. I keep on learning to bless people around me.

Amy:

Hebrews 12:12 “so take a new grip with your tired hands and stand firm on your shaky legs”. May be we are weak, but God makes us strong that we won’t fall easily. In this world, WE, need to stand firm, of course, not with our own strength, but God’s power! Believe, there’s nothing impossible in Him!

Ivy Khor:

John 21:25 Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world wouldn’t have room for the books that would be written. I can’t imagine that Jesus had done so many. I wish I could be like Him. Even things look small to us is big in God’s eye. For example, when a lamb lost; we might not see it’s important, but in God’s eye it’s LIFE! If we see things with heavenly perspective we can do more things for God.

Romans 14:8 “If we live, we live to the Lord; if we die, we die to the Lord” I often feel that I do not fit in, that I’m the only loner in the group. I tried to change myself to be accepted, but I asked myself. Who are you living for? People or God? Even if you’re not accepted by others, God will accept you for who you are.

Leonard:

Scriptures say “blessed for those who give”. Let me share a story with you. There was a general who had propose an idea to settle some national issue, but ended up the problems were getting worse from the result. But the President of the country was questioned by the reporters over the issue and critics. He didn’t turn the blame on the general instead he looked into the general’s eyes and said. “I bear all the responsibility”. The general was shocked and after the press conference, he told the cabinet members, “I will do anything for this man”. The President had sowed a seed to his life. He acts as a giver that changes someone’s life and being respected. He was US President Ronald Reagan, a good leader of the world.

Amy:

I would like to share a formula. Success=Efforts+Ability+Prayer+Attitude. Our principal used to tell us about this. She’s a religious lady. Today, I went to visit her as she had been feeling unwell for a while about the spinal problem. At her house, I can really see she is such a religious person. She always says prayer is important. Indeed, it’s true! Also, from her, I can also see the formula is just so true. She is such a successful person. We should pray, anytime, not just in time of need.

Ivy Khor:

John 17:9 “I pray for them. I’m not praying for the world, but for those you have given me, for they are yours”. This is what Jesus prayed to the Father in heaven. I had been prayed for everyone’s salvation in this world before, but I know that God had only chosen some of the people in this world, this scripture told us about it. For those who love the world can’t go back to the heaven, as they don’t love God. So what do you choose? The world or God?

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!!
