Celebrating mothers' day - A special indeed

This morning we celebrated mothers' day in PEC and what a special service it was. The church was filled again. We had some new ones as well. 

The Spirit of God took her as we began to worship.  The youths and the Sunday School put up a special item to remember the others.

Today we had Rev Patrick Lau, former General Superintendent  of AOG as our special speaker. It was the appropriate message for the season as he shared from Mat 15:21-28. The message of entitled, "The mother's love knows no bounds". Many people responded in tears at the alter. It was awesome sight to behold as the Spirit of the Lord began to minster especially the mothers in need.

I realised after one year, God has not left this church as orphans. Let year we were stranded, left to manage on our own.  When we are within the spectrum of His will, any deviations or miscalculations of the journey will be eventually readjusted and  realigned by the Holy Spirit, to ultimately fulfil God's original destiny planAll things work for good".

This year, we are family and busting at the seams. In fact He took us by our hands and led us through the wilderness. "I will never leave you nor forsake you".  What blessed assurance.



Watching from the back I realised it time to start the second morning service.



Pst Lau also prayed a prayer of dedication for the new church board as we take one another year of service. To God be the Glory.


Special mothers' day lunch. A treat for all mothers as the men from the church board did the honours of serving.




The day was not over as I remembered the two special mothers in our homes. God is bring our families back again. I praise God for all the mothers in the picture. God is so good. He is doing a marvellous work in my life and in PEC. My mum and my wife, the wind beneath my wings. Simply humbled.

"It is finished" - Jesus Christ

Image
John 19:30 - When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost. It's Good Friday again. The world pauses and recollects the events that changed the course of history. For me it was a time to reflect on the finished work of our Lord on the cross. He paid the price for my redemption. But it dawned on me that Jesus, himself, had a task to do while on this earth, He was on a mission. There was a time frame. There was a script to follow. In military terms , there was an objective he had to capture. Anything short would have been a disaster. But towards the end, in spite of the agony at Gethsemane, the unfair trail, humiliating and torturous journey via Dalarosa, Jesus cried, "It is finished". What an achievement. What a fitting eulogy.  Jesus was faithful to His mission - Hebrew 3:2 Jesus was focused on His mission - Luke 9:51 Jesus finished His mission - John 19:30  Judas towards th

What a trip to Nepal

Image
I am sitting at the airport restaurant in Kathmandu, checked in and waiting for my departure to New Delhi and from there, onward to Singapore.  Just sipping and enjoying the Americano coffee and a slice of cheese cake as I reminiscent my last nine days in Nepal. It has been a incredibly tough trip but one filled with joy, great satisfaction and challenges. Tough because of the bad roads, tracks and mountain trekking that really tested my endurance and my back was sore.  Couple of knocks on the head as the vehicle danced to the tune of the undulating terrain. Days when I had terrible diarrhoea, running from one mountain toilet to another. Thank God I had Dr Mike Ong on this trip who is a medical doctor from Singapore, who attended to my condition. Times when we had to sleep on the cold floor with thin sheets of cloth, with rodents in the vicinity. Temperatures dropped to a low of 10-12 degrees centigrde in the nights. Eating the food offered by the villagers as we were up in the mounta

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
