Day 240: Psalm 55, Proverbs 8:22-24,1 John 4, Job 34-35 Fervently Pursue God's Will No one ever seen the wind, but certainly all of us have enjoyed the cooling breeze and the refreshing wind before. Similarly when Apostle John mentioned in 1 John 4:12 that no one has seen God, but when we love one another, God will abide in us and people around us will experience His love through us. In fact, in Hebrews 12:14, we are exhorted to pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord. On the contrary, Jesus Himself warned us that we may face serious consequences if we stumble others as stipulated in Luke 17:1-2. “It is impossible that no offenses should come, but woe to him through whom they do come!  It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones." Hence, let us be alert and fervently do the will of God - love one another, pursue peace and ...

Day 239: Psalm 54, Proverbs 8:19-21,1 John 3, Job 32-33 Whatever We Ask, We Receive If... I John 3:22-23 says "whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing in His sight. And this is His commandment: that we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ and love one another, as He gave us commandment".  What a Promise from God! Whatever we ask, we receive from Him. But, there are 3 conditions, namely believe in Jesus, love one another and do things that are pleasing in His sight. As Christians, we have believed in Jesus and we please Him when we have faith in Him (Hebrews 11:6). What is left now is to love one another. From Bersih 4.0's rally,  I read many touching stories of how an Indian man just gave a brand new umbrella to a chinese as he was about to leave the rally. There were people buying breakfast and serving free coffee to those who spent the night on the street. I saw young people picking up...

Day 238: Psalm 53, Proverbs 8:16-18, 1 John 2, Job 30-31 We Need One Another When we write a letter to someone, surely we have a message for the recipient. In John 2:12-14, Apostle John clearly indicated his intention. He wrote for 3 groups of people, namely, for the little children, fathers and young men. For the little children, he reminded them to remember that their sins were forgiven, to the fathers and mothers, he reminded them that they knew God from the beginning and lastly, to the young men and women, Apostle John expected the young people to be overcomer and strong as the Word of God should abide in them. We need these 3 different group of people to build one another. There is a place where these 3 different age groups of people exist. Yes, it is the church. God instituted church for us to prepare ourselves for the new earth and new heaven. Hence, never ever miss church -  not just to attend, but be participants and to be involved as we have these wonderful spiritual...

Day 237: Psalm 52, Proverbs 8:13-15, 1 John 1, Job 28, 29 Fear of God To Prevail Shall we pray that today those who love evil more than good, lying rather than speaking righteousness will realise that God can destroy them forever. Those who trust in the abundance of their riches and strengthen himself in their wickedness will realise God may pluck them out of their dwelling place and uproot them from the land of living (Psalm 52:1-8). Pray too that the fear of God will prevail in all Malaysians, especially the police and those in authority (Proverbs 8:13-15). Let them realise that to depart from evil is understanding and to have the fear of God is wisdom (Job 28:28). Through wisdom a house is built and by understanding it is established (Proverbs 24:3). And if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sins (1John 1:7). https://twitter.com/EstherOngHC

Day 236: Psalm 51, Proverbs 8:10-12, 2 Peter 3, Job 26, 27 Let Us Do A Quantum L.E.A.P. In 2 Peter 3:14, it is written, "Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless.." What was Apostle Peter looking forward to? What did he mean by "these things"? Yes, the context of the whole Chapter is on the coming back of our beloved Dear Lord Jesus Christ. He will come back no longer as a Saviour anymore but as a Judge. Hence, St. Peter exhorted us to be diligent to be found in Him without spot and blameless. Let us L.E.A.P - Love God and His Word, Excel in all that we do, Anticipate His Coming and Prepare ourselves well. Let us L.E.A.P; Let us do a quantum L.E.A.P., especially when End Time is drawing near! Are we ready to face the Judge? https://twitter.com/EstherOngHC

Day 235:Psalm 50, Proverbs 8:7-9, 2 Peter 2, Job 24,25 Call On God It was said of a child singing, "God is still on the phone!" whereas the actual hymn that was sang that morning was "God is still on the throne". Nevertheless, it is still apt to say that God is always on the phone waiting for us to call Him. In Psalm 50:15-19, we are asked to call upon Him in the day of trouble; He will deliver us and we shall glorify Him. But to the wicked God says: “What right have you to declare My statutes, Or take My covenant in your mouth, Seeing you hate instruction And cast My words behind you? When you saw a thief, you consented with him, And have been a partaker with adulterers. You give your mouth to evil, And your tongue frames deceit." How important then, we use our mouth to call upon Him to pray and to intercede, learn to do right, seek justice, defend the oppressed and take up the cause of the fatherless and plead the case of the widow (Isaiah 1:17). https://...

Day 234: Psalm 49, Proverbs 8:4-6, 2 Peter 1, Job 21 - 23 Be More Diligent To Confirm Our Call and Election Apostle Peter exhorted us to make every effort to confirm our calling and election. For if we do these things, we will never stumble and will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (2 Peter 1:10-11). In the Old Testament, we have another "giant of faith", Job who testified that his foot had held fast to His steps, he had kept His way and not turned aside. He had not departed from the commandment of His lips and had treasured the words of His mouth more than his necessary food (Job 23:10-12). With these great men as our examples, let us be even more diligent to make our call and election sure as we await with eagerness the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Maranatha! Our Lord Comes! It was said that William Wilberforce who pushed and debated for a committee to consider the anti-slave trade petitions...
