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.

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...
