26 September 2025 Word by Senior Pastor, Pastor Darien Choo

Today’s Inspiration: “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28 NIV. God’s ways are not our ways and His thoughts are not our thoughts for His wisdom is higher than ours just as the heavens is higher than the earth. When we face difficult times, it is not that God is no longer with us or we could ask why is there so many bad things happen at the same time? Do we react or how to we respond to crisis, trials or troubles?

Transitions are challenging because it’s like a gateway or crossroad which is distressing yet the more we need discernment, decisions, and determination within our spirit that are rooted and grounded in God’s word, His Holy Spirit and His love for us. Apostle Paul taught,”I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.”Romans 8:18 It was the pit and the prison that took Joseph into the palace, and it was the lion, bear and the giant that revealed David’s destiny. Divinely, it was the Cross of Calvary that Jesus carried that we are redeemed from all sins and death, for those who believed in Him. Our abba Father God in heaven has the best plans for us, so hold on to His hands in prayers. Isaiah 41:10

Prayer: O Lord my God, we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. Through Christ, we have been made more than a conqueror, in Jesus Name, Amen.
