19 January 2026 Word by Senior Pastor, Pastor Darien Choo

Today’s Inspiration: “Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.”Philippians 3:13-14 Our past pain, wounds and failures can either be a liability to our souls in bondage or lessons to learn for breakthroughs. Our vision is key for a fruitful 2026 and blessing of God comes when we advance with the Word of God.

Our calling can turn our pain into purpose to save souls and to shine for Jesus. God calls us to be the light because once we were in darkness of sin but now we were drawn into His marvelous light. Don’t let your past struggle hinder you but rather forgiveness, repentance and healing uses them to become your strength. Genesis 50:20 Joseph faces many painful experiences in life with his lost of mother, betrayal of brothers and injustice of his master but He chose to forgive and bless and not to hate and curse. He didn’t dwell on self-pity but dwell in God’s divine discipline, direction and destiny to use him to shine God’s glory, wisdom and favor whenever he goes from the pit to the palace. God can turn our struggles into strength.

Prayer: O Lord my God, you are the Lord who turns all curses into blessings and change all my burdens into breakthroughs. You use my pain for your purposes, hurts for your healing and my struggles into your strength. You turn all my mess into your message and my trials into your testimonies. Your grace is sufficient for me in Jesus Name, Amen.
