13 May 2025 Word by Senior Pastor, Pastor Darien Choo

Today’s Inspiration: “The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, And he who wins souls is wise.” Proverbs‬ ‭11‬:‭30‬ ‭NKJV.‬‬ Today many parents are praying for their unbelieving spouses or children to know Christ or backsliding members of the family to come back to Christ. We would encourage all to look up unto God and not give up because Jesus has never given up on us sinners who were saved by grace through faith. Ephesians 2:8. The first lesson to be like Christ is to know how he gave up his crown, his throne, and his robes in humility to come to this earth at the price of death at the Cross to bring salvation to mankind. Philippians 2:8-9

Such grace will never loose its hope because it is upon His finished work at Calvary that gives us faith, love and hope to our believe and confidence. His agape love will never fail. 1 Corinthians 13:8. Apostle Paul reminded the Church not to be religious or legalistic but to focus on changing one’s attitude, behaviour, and character through Christ, bearing fruit of the spirit. The work of evangelism is to be Christlike and not think we are spiritual or better than others. It is humility that brings wisdom in homes, families, marriages and parenting with the presence of God. When God makes a change in us through His Word, He opens door for a message of salvation to our love ones. Do we see Christ in us? Build selflessness, empathy and compassion like Jesus in our daily walk with prayer.

Prayer: O Lord my God, draw close to me as I draw close to you. Help me identify areas which is not pleasing to you, and help me change by the leading of your Holy Spirit in my words, thinking, and actions. Guide me with your candid corrections and timely word of counsel that I may become more like you in every way. Let the glory of the Lord shine into my life to be wise to change that I may save many for the Kingdom of God, in Jesus' Name, Amen.
