8 August 2021 Word by Honorary Pastor Rev Alicia Teo

Today’s Inspiration: The Lord has promised that He will keep you strong to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 1:8. God who has called you is faithful. V9. Therefore let Your heart be filled with the word of God and let your relationship be strong with the Lord so that whatever decisions you make is His decision and not those influenced by men’s opinion. May you be enriched in every way in all your speaking, in all knowledge.

Loving God with our whole being comes from our heart which is the doorway of all wisdom, knowledge and understanding. What does the Bible say about our heart which includes the mind, will and emotions? God is a forgiving God. He did not condemn but is forgiving. The great example of His forgiveness is when Jesus hung on the cross. He forgave all and does not condemn or curse anybody. Neither did he asked for vengeance. Stephen followed his example in Acts 7:59-60. Jesus forgave His disciples, and the religious leaders who nailed him to the cross. Jesus forgave all our sins.

Harboring unforgiveness is a negative attitude that might block the provision of God for us. When you feel liberated, you see God fills your life with overflowing wine receiving all the marvelous things He has for you. It was for freedom that Christ has set you free so do not be subject again to yoke of slavery again.

Prayer: Lord grant me the spirit of discernment to make the right choice in life. Even if we stumble You will lift us up for You will not allow your righteous one to be forsaken. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
