Pastor’s Message
2 Chronicles 19:9 He gave them these orders: “You must serve faithfully and wholeheartedly in the fear of the LORD.
For me this is one of toughest statement in the word of God. In this chapter during our Midweek Bible study, our theme was: “Serve Faithfully”. It means to be fully committed and dedicated so we must have an undivided heart. And to act only out of fear of God not men because to fear/respect God = this is one of the keys to be able to serve Him faithfully.
Pastor’s Message
Romans 8:31b If God is for us, who can be against us?
Paul the apostle mentioned here that we are more than conquerors because Christ’s love is for us. This statement was indeed reliable and trustworthy because He promised us that He will never ever leave us nor forsake us. So we must hold on to this promise and know without a doubt that He is meant for us.
Psalm Reading
Psalm 18:25-36 (New International Version)
25 To the faithful you show yourself faithful,
to the blameless you show yourself blameless,
26 to the pure you show yourself pure,
but to the devious you show yourself shrewd.
27 You save the humble
but bring low those whose eyes are haughty.
28 You, LORD, keep my lamp burning;
my God turns my darkness into light.
29 With your help I can advance against a troop[a];
with my God I can scale a wall.30 As for God, his way is perfect:
The LORD’s word is flawless;
he shields all who take refuge in him.
31 For who is God besides the LORD?
And who is the Rock except our God?
32 It is God who arms me with strength
and keeps my way secure.
33 He makes my feet like the feet of a deer;
he causes me to stand on the heights.
34 He trains my hands for battle;
my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
35 You make your saving help my shield,
and your right hand sustains me;
your help has made me great.
36 You provide a broad path for my feet,
so that my ankles do not give way.
Pastor’s Message
Proverbs 3:5-6 5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.
When I read there verses, during my devotion, God really comforted me! Because last week I was a bit worried, for I have a lot of things in mind about the lot for the church, the expenses for church building and so forth. But God is faithful, for He gives me more peace and reassured me that He will be in-charge of everything that I should not worry but to TRUST GOD with all my heart.
