Singapore's National Day - Prayer Requests

As we come to the close of 40 days of fasting and prayer for our nation, I will be leading my church in the following prayer request tomorrow morning. Continue to lift my country in prayer:

Prayer Pointers

1.        God’s favor to be upon our nation.
     ·          PM said in his national day message that in the next twenty years we still want to be the shining little red dot
    ·          Psalms 127:1 - Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain.  
    ·           Neh 1: 11 - Lord, let your ear be attentive to the prayer of this your servant and to the prayer of your servants who delight in revering your name. Give your servant success today by granting him favor in the presence of this man.”

   ·          Favor on the economy 
   ·          On the natural elements

   ·          Social and racial harmony
   ·          Favor on the leadership

    o             Christian leaders who can be an influence in the decision making process

2.        Pray for our National Day Parade. 
    ·          Thousands of people, woman and children will be gathered
    ·          Participants have put in so much of effort and sacrifice
    ·          All the leaders will be there
    ·          For safety, harmony, favorable weather.
    ·           Heaven will look favorably upon this nation

3.      Singapore is a city of abundance. 
    ·                    Gen 12:1-3 - “I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing.  will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth  will be blessed through you.
    ·                    Pray that Singapore will move towards blessing other nations in need.

    ·                    Singapore will continue to help the needy nations, those nations in distress
      o              We will not become selfish, inward looking
      o              Become the Antioch of Asia – many missionaries will rise from this land

4.           Signs of the last days.
    ·                    2 Tim 3: 1-5 - This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, truce breakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;  Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
    ·                    Our Asian conservativeness will not be frowned upon in this current climate where western thinking is the “norm”.
    o           Homosexuality, co-habiting, doing anything it takes to climb the corporate ladder
    ·                    Divorce rates are high in Singapore.  Stats, for every cheating husband, there are 4 cheating wives. Pray that God will overthrow this demonic conspiracy which is out to destroy women.

Remembering Sis Jenima Sharma - A tribute

Image
Sis Jenima went to be with the Lord on 14 Nov 2024, after battling with  Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) for some time.  This is our tribute to her. It was in 2008, when I first met Sis Jenima, the wife of our Bishop Samuel Sharma. It was during our first trip to NE India, Jaigaon in particular. We were there to conduct a pastors' conference at the bidding of Bishop Samuel who had attended the Haggai Leaders' Experience in Singapore a few months earlier. This was the beginning. She was demure, quiet, hardly spoke a word in English. But she was extremely hospitable and genuinely kind. At that time they lived in a very simple house, with hardly any furnishing, all because of the call of God upon her life to serve the Master.  But one thing was certain. She loved the Lord, her husband and her two young children. She always wanted them to serve the Lord all their lives. She was a remarkable woman whose life reflected the love and grace of God in every aspect.  He...

Devotion - Psalms 44: 6-7 - Its God who gives the victory

Image
Psalms 44:6-7 - I put no trust in my bow, my sword does not bring me victory; but you give us victory over our enemies, you put our adversaries to shame. Any soldier will know that the basic weapon of warfare, in those days, were the bow and sword. Without which no soldier will not venture into the battle field. Even the famed Goliath was geared in full battle order when he faced David with the stones and the sling. Isn't it a paradox then that David, one of the finest soldiers Israel had ever produced, proclaims that its not the bow and the sword that gives the victory. Its is the Lord, Jehovah, that gives the victory. I don't think David is trying to say that we should not prepare ourselves for warfare. His concern is that we recognize that ultimately its the Lord that gives the victory. A few things we need to remember: Human efforts are necessary in the God-man partnership Human efforts alone does not guarantee God intended results Recognize that its God that always gives u...

25th Wedding Annivesary - Silver Jubilee

Image
11-1-11 - 25th Wedding Anniversary. Today my wife and I celebrate our Silver Jubilee, 25 years of being married together. How time flies. I look out of the window, the weather reminiscent of the day we got married. It was raining the whole day and so is today. How appropriate. Praise God for His faithfulness in our lives and for the blessings He has given us. Lam 3:22-23 - Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. It has been a wonderful journey. Yes there were disagreements, quarrels, desperation and even "fights" but through it all, our love has grown stronger for the Lord , for the family, for the ministry and for one another. Jeya has been the magnet that holds our family together. Almost three months in a year I am out of country for ministry and kids busy in school. But she has always been the inventory holder that keeps reminding of the things that needs to be done an...
