3 June 2025 Word by Senior Pastor, Pastor Darien Choo

Today’s Inspiration: “The purposes of a person’s heart are deep waters, but one who has insight draws them out.” Proverbs‬ ‭20‬:‭5‬ ‭NIV. Who can understand their own hearts and discern the intentions of their own minds? All our life issues emerges from our hearts for it is beginning of life and the ending of life. God create our heart first before our mind, our spirit first before our bodies. Without coming to God, we will not know our sins, iniquities and transgressions. Without counsel, there is no success. Proverbs 20:18.

Most of our life purposes emerge ironically from our pain and challenges in life. Just like how the Lord uses who He heals or delivers as a witness of His glory to be a blessing to others with the gospel. Humility is only found in seeking God with all our hearts. For the Lord knows us better than ourselves. Wisdom taught,”Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” Proverbs‬ ‭4‬:‭23.‬ ‭Peace begins with prayer and love begins with Christ in our hearts. Hearts in the family can only be turned around through prayer, forgiveness and bearing the fruit of the Spirit. Jesus said,”He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” John‬ ‭7‬:‭38.‬ ‭Christ begins with our surrendered and sanctified hearts.

Prayer: O Lord my God, search my heart and know my anxious thoughts. Reveal to me the deeper things of God in my heart by your Holy Spirit to my spirit. Remove all sinful, stony and dry places, break all fallow ground, and let your healing and living waters flow and restore my soul. Lead me in your everlasting ways, for when my soul prospers, so does my health in my mind, my heart and my body. Let me hide thy word in my heart that I will not sin against you, in Jesus' Name, Amen.
