MEM mission team

It's great to be able to have a mission team coming to our church and work with us to preach the gospel. In fact, I have learnt a lot from them. I see their passion in Christ, their prayfulness, their humbleness, and their servant heart. They have a really full schedule, but I never see them complaining, never see them feeling tired. Whenever I see them I see energy, enthusiasm and smiles.

This makes me see what a real Christian is like and should be like. I see the power of prayer, the power of God working in their lives and the lives of the people who come to hear the gospel. I realised that relying on God is the only key to great glory for our Lord Jesus Christ. It's not about our own effort, but God's. Praying can move a mountain, but our own effort and strength can do nothing, especially move people's hearts. Preaching the gospel is not easy, it requires a lot of time and effort. However, without praying and submitting the work of mission to God, everything becomes obsolete.

We need to pray, to connect with God, to ask the Holy Spirit to work in our hearts, minds, souls as well as in the unbelievers' hearts.

Face my failures

Facing my failures has been one of the most difficult tasks in my life so far. Again, God has brought light into this weakness and has given me a lesson to build up my courage to acknowledge my failure and not be ashamed of it. I am facing a really difficult task God has given right now, and that is to accept the fact that I failed. In Romans 8:28 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. Even in a difficult situation like this, God is in control and will work for the good for those who love Him. He will turn a bad situation into a good one and I need to trust with my whole heart that He loves me and His ways are perfect. Slowly I learn to accept my failure and still praise God for it, I know He has a purpose for it and it will not be in vain. Father God, may your will be done and not mine!

Prosperity in God

I am very much disturbed, namely, confused by the explanation in regards to prosperity. The world often says, men have infinite capabilities, as long as we work hard, set good goals, follow them step by step and not give up, we sure will prosper. In other words, we will obtain what we want. We can gain fame, become wealthy and enjoy more things life offers. People might create some mottos like, "Believe in yourself, never give up and success is yours". In reality, is that true? Do we actually reap more if we sow harder? Clearly, the world doesn't offer a satisfying answer in regards to living a real prosperous life. First question I would like to ask is, does being famous and wealthy mean prosperous? Secondly, what does prosperity mean? Now in some churches, they preach prosperity gospel, and I just feel some of the teaching has a tendency towards self help steps. Every time I hear it, I wonder if that is what God offers. Eg. "Have faith in God, yearn for more, then ...
