Blessed to be a Blessing

Helping the needy in Myanmar

Blessing the needy in Myanmar

God's very nature is to bless people, especially those who love Him with all their heart. Since we are partakers of His divine nature, then it behoves us to do the same.

The cultural mandate, God's governing instrument for His Kingdom on earth, enforces this virtue. Genesis 1:28 - God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it....

The blessings on the patriarchs and on the nation of Israel, underscored this purpose for humanity. "In you will all the nations of the earth be blessed...."

Our Lord Jesus reenforced this imperative in the sermon of the mount when He described His followers as the salt and the light of the earth. Matthew 5:16 - "Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven."

This is what we have been doing in our mission field. The tuition centres, assistance in the time of calamity and pestilence, bore wells and meeting other social needs are some of the ways we have been a blessing to the nations.

Here in Singapore we are distributing goody bags to the migrant workers to show our love and appreciation for all that they are doing for our nation. 

But the greatest blessing we can give to anyone is by fulfilling the Great Commission. 

Matthew 28:19-20 -Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” This is our core theme in our mission endeavours. Bringing the gospel to the ends of the word to end gospel poverty. So that every one is given an opportunity to make a decision for Christ.

What will be the light you will be shining to let people "see your good works and glorify the Father in heaven". 

In PEC missions, we are providing you an opportunity to do so. Come, join us as, we fulfil both the Great Commandment and the Great Commission.

"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
