Mother's Day at Jesus Lives Church

Today was truly one of the most emotional and unforgettable Mother’s Day celebrations for our family. My heart is overflowing with gratitude, joy, and awe at the faithfulness of God.

It was such a precious honour to see my beloved mother being recognised and honoured on Mother’s Day at Jesus Lives Church. As I sat there watching her receive this special appreciation, I could not help but reflect on the incredible journey of faith, sacrifice, prayer, and quiet obedience that marked her life.

Many years ago, my mother faithfully sowed seeds of the Gospel into the lives of the late Apostle Suppiah and his dear wife Letchimi Suppiah, lovingly bringing their family to know the Lord Jesus Christ. What began as a simple act of obedience and evangelism has now blossomed into a living testimony of God’s multiplying grace. Today, a thriving church stands as fruit from those seeds that were sown in faith and tears.

Both Apostle Suppiah and Sister Letcmi have since gone home to be with the Lord, but their legacy continues powerfully through their children. It was deeply touching to hear Pastor Jonathan share how my family played such an important role in laying the spiritual foundations during those early years. His heartfelt words brought tears to my eyes.

Today, Pastor Jonathan faithfully oversees the church, while his brother Pastor Joshua shepherds another church in Woodlands. Seeing both brothers, and their family, serving the Lord wholeheartedly as pastors is such a beautiful reminder that when seeds are planted in faith, generations can be transformed for the Kingdom of God.

What moved me even more was seeing close to 200 people gathered in the congregation today, worshipping, praying, and hearing the Word of God, all because someone once chose to share the Gospel and never give up.

This day reminded me afresh: never underestimate the power of evangelism. We may plant the seed, we may water it with prayer and love, but it is the Holy Spirit who brings conviction and causes growth. Our responsibility is simply to remain faithful, persistent, and obedient in sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ.

On this Mother’s Day, I celebrate not only my mother’s love as a parent, but also her spiritual motherhood, her willingness to pour into lives, pray faithfully, and lead others to Christ. The impact of one surrendered life can echo through generations.

I am so deeply grateful to Pastor Jonathan Suppiah and his family for making this occasion so meaningful and beautiful for my mother. The love, honour, and appreciation shown today will remain in our hearts forever.

My heart is truly overwhelmed, overwhelmed by God’s goodness, by His faithfulness across generations, and by the beautiful fruit that has come from one faithful seed sown many years ago.

To God be all the glory.

Remembering Uncle Thomas Malcolm Ranjore : 1940- 2025

Image
It was with great sadness that I received the news of Uncle Thomas Malcolm Ranjore’s passing on the 20th of June, at the age of 84.  Though our hearts grieve, we do not mourn as those without hope.  As Psalm 116:15  reminds us: “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His faithful servants.” Uncle Malcolm (as he was fondly called) was truly one of God’s faithful servants, a man whose life was marked by worship, prayer, evangelism, generosity, and love for both God and people. I remember not just someone who lived long, but someone who lived well, for the glory of God. A man of worship One thing that stands out in his life is that Uncle Malcolm was a gifted musician. He played the violin not as a performer, but as a worshipper. When he played, it was as if heaven drew near. His music ushered in the presence of God, just like the Levites in the Old Testament, who ministered before the Lord with stringed instruments. 1 Chronicles 25:6 ...

God’s Faithfulness in Our Nation - Blessed National Day Singapore

Text:   “The Lord did not set His affection on you and choose you because you were more numerous than other peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples. But it was because the Lord loved you and kept the oath He swore to your ancestors…”  –  Deuteronomy 7:7–8   When God chose Israel, it was not because of their size, power, or wealth. In fact, they were a small, vulnerable nation surrounded by mighty empires. Yet God’s choice was based solely on His love and covenant faithfulness.   Moses spoke these words to Israel, he was reminding them of an important truth:   Their survival and success  When  were not because of their strength, resources, or wisdom — but because of God’s faithfulness and mercy.   Singapore’s story mirrors this in remarkable ways. In 1965, we were a tiny island with no natural resources, no hinterland, and little global influence. Kicked out of Malaysia, many wondered if we could even survive. By every human calculatio...

God, the Strength of My Heart

"My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak, but God remains the strength of my heart; He is mine forever."  —  Psalm 73:26 (NLT)   Psalm 73 offers a profound meditation on the tension between faithfulness and the experience of apparent injustice in the world—a tension that remains deeply relevant for believers today. In a broader theological context, Psalm 73 echoes enduring biblical themes: the problem of evil, the testing of faith, and the promise of divine justice. It stands both as a confession of human frailty and a declaration of trust, illustrating that authentic faith engages honestly with doubt but rests securely in the hope of God’s eternal righteousness.   In this psalm, Asaph, one of King David’s chief musicians, begins with a heartfelt affirmation of God’s goodness toward the pure in heart. Yet despite this conviction, he openly confesses a moment of deep inner turmoil, nearly shattered by envy toward the arrogant and the wicked. Observing their ea...
