LORD, HELP!

Poh Fang Chia

Hebrews 4:14–16
Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. Hebrews 4:16

I knew that God was capable of miracles. He brought Jairus’s daughter back to life (Luke 8:49-55) and in so doing also healed the girl of whatever disease had robbed her of life. So I asked Him to bring healing for my friend’s baby too.

But what if God doesn’t heal? I wondered. Surely He doesn’t lack the power. Could it be He doesn’t care? I thought of Jesus’s suffering on the cross and the explanation that “God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Rom. 5:8). Then I remembered the questions of Job and how he learned to see the wisdom of God as shown in the creation around him (Job 38–39).

Slowly I saw how God calls us to Him in the details of our lives. In God’s grace, my friend and I learned together what it means to call on the Lord and to trust Him—whatever the outcome.

Lord, to whom can I go but You! I trust You with my life and the lives of my loved ones. I’m grateful You always hear my cry.

When life knocks you down, you’re in the perfect position to pray!

Bible in a year: 2 Chronicles 17–18; John 13:1–20

22 tenets of faith,

OUR TENETS OF FAITH THESE WE BELIEVE (a.k.a. Our Tenets of Faith) Our  belief  is based on core biblical truths we call the  22 tenets of faith , as drafted by Foursquare founder  Aimee Semple McPherson. THE HOLY SCRIPTURES We believe the Bible is God-inspired (2 Timothy 3:16,17). THE ETERNAL GODHEAD We believe God is Triune: Father, Son and Holy Spirit (2 Corinthians 13:14). THE FALL OF MAN We believe that man was created in the image of God, but that by voluntary disobedience he fell from perfection (Romans 5:12). THE PLAN OF SALVATION We believe that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us, signing the pardon of all who believe on Him (John 3:16; Romans 5:8). SALVATION THROUGH GRACE We believe that we have no righteousness and must come to God pleading the righteousness of Christ (Ephesians 2:8). REPENTANCE AND ACCEPTANCE We believe that upon sincere repentance, and a whole-hearted acceptance of Christ, we are justifie...

The unfailing God (Isaiah 40:28-31)

-
Sunday 3rd September, 2017 Theme: The unfailing God (Isaiah 40:28-31); Topic: restoring the lost Grounds (1 Samuel 30:8; Ezekiel 37:3-5) God is supreme in the universe. His word is final. When He speaks heaven and earth are affected because great number of publishers is attached to the intent of His command or promise according to Psalm 68:11,”The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it”. See also 2 Kings 6:16 where Prophet Elisha assured his servant, “And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them”. Everything in heaven and earth is affected when God speaks. Even Satan is affected because all things must work together for the good of the purpose of our God. Since the word of God cannot be broken, why do we always have some promises lingering for a long time without manifestation? Where do we miss it? The story of Daniel is an eye opener to us. The man of God stood in prayer for 21 days and the Prince of Persia (a...
