✨Day 4 A Call to the Secret Place - A Prayer Testimony✨

Thank you to Pastor Reuben for sharing a photo of his prayer space with us today. He says, "Our secret place is the foundational altar that all other altars, such as the family altar, church altar, and city altar, are built upon."

"Seeking God in secret demonstrates our dependence upon the Lord and not our own strength and experience. It is the place where we listen for ourselves and not just for the sake of others."

He adds, "Our secret place is where the Word of God within us is allowed to marinate, leading to renewed minds and transformed hearts. It is where the battle for the prosperity of our souls is won in the presence of God, before circumstances change and regardless of whether they ultimately change or not."

He shares that God's presence is what empowers us: "Our secret place empowers us to be the salt and light, shining in the darkness as living epistles. It enables us to pray and live not in reaction to the darkness around us, but in response to the goodness of God."

Finally, he encourages us that our secret place prepares us to be good stewards of the open reward that comes from our Heavenly Father.

"But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you." - Matthew 6:6

 

🙏🇲🇾 A Day of Prayer for National Reconciliation in Malaysia

"All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us." - 2 Corinthians 5:18-20

As followers of Christ, we have been entrusted with the ministry and message of reconciliation.

The racial riots of May 13, 1969 left deep scars on our nation. Lives were tragically lost, trust was broken, and divisions were sown. Yet the way of Christ calls us to a higher path - one of compassion, kindness, humility and forgiveness. As God's beloved children, we are called to extend the same merciful forgiveness that we have received.

1. Healing of Past Wounds - Ask God for healing of the deep hurt, anger and mistrust resulting from past conflicts like the May 13 riots. Bind up the brokenness and pain.

2. Repentance and Forgiveness - We repent for the sins of racism, prejudice and violence committed. We choose to forgive those who have wronged us, as You have forgiven us in Christ.

3. Unity and Understanding - Tear down the walls that divide us along racial, religious and cultural lines. Build bridges of empathy, respect and care for one another.

4. Courageous Leadership - Raise up leaders who model reconciliation, pursue unity and justice, and reject policies/rhetoric that polarise or discriminate.

5. The Church - Revive & empower us as ambassadors of reconciliation. May we become leaders in racial unity, peacemaking and tearing down barriers between groups.

6. Lasting Peace - We cry out for true and lasting peace to reign in our nation. Establish order, security and harmony among all the peoples of Malaysia.

Heavenly Father, bind us together across our differences as one Malaysian family. Replace resentment with forgiveness, prejudice with understanding and conflict with peace. By the power of Your Spirit, make us a light of hope to the nation & the world. In the name of Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace, AMEN.

Here's hoping that this Mother's Day poem captures the essence of spiritual motherhood and honours all you remarkable women and girls. Thank you for the opportunity to craft something meaningful that can be shared to celebrate and appreciate all that spiritual mothers do, whether married or single. May your nurturing guidance and godly example leave an indelible impact on so many lives.

*Mother's Embrace, Divine and True*

In a world that's often cold,
Your heart shines warm, your love untold.
A spiritual mother, heaven-sent,
Nurturing souls wherever you went.

Single or married, it matters not,
For in your arms, peace is sought.
A shelter from the storms of life,
Guiding us through turmoil and strife.

Your prayers rise like incense sweet,
Seeking blessings at the mercy seat.
Wisdom imparted, gentle, yet strong,
Teaching us to right the wrong.

You walk the path of faith sublime,
An example rare in this modern time.
A living epistle of Christ's own grace,
Leaving impressions time can't erase.

So on this day, we honour you,
Spiritual mother, steadfast and true.
May heaven's blessings on you descend,
Our dearest mother, mentor, and friend.

"Her children rise up and call her blessed." (Proverbs 31:28)

Happy Mother's Day!

✨ Day 3: The Call to the Secret Place ✨

I'm being inspired by Jesus' words in Matthew 6:6 to intentionally carve out a secret place to pray and commune with my Heavenly Father:

"But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you." - Matthew 6:6

Jesus directly instructs us to have a private prayer room or closet set apart to meet with God. Jesus promises that when we seek the Lord in this secret place, our Father will see our hearts and reward us.

It's an encouragement that our private prayer and devotional times are precious to God. Even if no one else witnesses our time in the secret place, the Father takes delight when we come to Him in solitude and intimacy. And that's enough for me!

 

✨ Day 3: The Call to the Secret Place - A Prayer Testimony✨

"The Lord seems to be calling His people to the secret place TODAY!" - Bishop Dr. Hwa Yung

Yesterday, I shared about creating my own secret prayer space. Little did I know, Bishop Hwa Yung set up his own secret space in his home two months ago!

His powerful words affirm that God is stirring the hearts of His children to draw near to Him in intimate, hidden places.

In this noisy world, it's so easy to get distracted and lose that precious connection with our Maker. But the secret place - that solitary spot set apart just for you and the Lord - becomes a sacred harbour for our souls. 💕

It may be a quiet corner of your bedroom, a prayer closet under the stairs, or even your kitchen! Wherever it is, purposefully create that space to meet with God daily. Light a candle, play soaking worship music, and linger in His presence through Scripture reading, journaling, and prayer.

What an amazing journey! Things look a little different when you're experiencing the reality of Psalm 91:1 - "He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty."

So open the door to your secret place today and abide in the shadow of the Almighty. He's calling you to draw near! ✨

 

✨ Day 2: Creating a Secret Prayer Space ✨

Today, I took up the challenge to build a secret space in my home dedicated to prayer🙏🏻

To kick things off, I drew 7 "starfishes" and lifted up 7 specific people, praying that they would experience the love and salvation of Christ in a powerful way. 💫 The starfishes will serve as a visual reminder to keep interceding for their lives.

But that's not all! I'm also committed to read through the 4 Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) and the book of Acts within this 10-day period, immersing myself in the accounts of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection as well as the birth of the early Church to deepen my love for my Lord.

I'm excited for how God will meet me in this secret place of prayer and in the study of His Word over the next 10 days. Who's ready to join me on this journey of drawing nearer to the Father's heart? Drop a ✨ if you'll be creating your own prayer space too!

Day 1 - Ascension Day
We're so grateful to Raji for sharing this inspiring experience from the 10 Day Prayer Challenge. She wrote:

'I took the challenge today. On my way to the hospital this morning, I did a prayer drive and prayed over houses, schools, nursing homes and restaurants. I prayed over drivers of cars on the road, hospital staff and patients for healing of souls. It felt so good and exciting, especially for this 10 day program!'

What a beautiful way to bring prayer into daily life! Raji's prayerful journey reminds us that we can turn any moment into an opportunity to lift up our communities and those around us.

Let's keep sharing how we're living out the 10 Day Prayer Challenge using . Your stories are sparking inspiration!

"And while they were gazing into heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white robes, and said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.”"

- Acts 1:10-11 ESV

🕯️🙏

DEDICATION OF THE MELAKA BOILER ROOM. On Tuesday we had the privilege of retired Methodist Bishop Ong Hwai Teik dedicating and consecrating the Melaka Boiler Room. More than 40 guests - ministers, pastors and intercessors - came to celebrate with us. We had the opportunity to introduce 24-7 Prayer and the task ahead for 24-7 Prayer Malaysia and 24-7 Prayer Asia. Our guests were treated to a guided tour of the prayer room, and a fabulous luncheon by Melissa and Jenn from Donald & Lily's . Each guest was given The Vision Poem and a tent peg door gift with a blessing to go and enlarge their tents, and strengthen their stakes. Isaiah 54:2-3

We are excited to create "thin spaces" and bring night and day prayer across the cities! What an exciting time to dig up all these ancient wells of revival and ask for the nations!

We conducted prayer training over the weekend at JB Wesley. What a wonderful and amazing time. The presence of God is so real. Met two wonderful teenagers who registered for the training themselves. Amazing. We are in awe and very excited as to what God is doing, and will be doing in Johor Bahru.

April 9 - Remembering Dietrich Bonhoeffer. He died on this day.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer was a pastor, theologian, and anti-Nazi dissident living in Germany at the time of the Second World War. As Hi**er rose to power in Europe, Bonhoeffer loudly and defiantly spoke out against him. As a result, Bonhoeffer was forbidden to teach. At 39 years old, he was executed, just one month before the war ended. Some of his parting words were: *‘This is the end—for me the beginning of life.’* Let his life challenge us to care and to act.

Lord, grant me boldness and strength, and teach me how I might establish Your justice and righteousness today. In Jesus' name, Amen.

As we reflect on Jesus' upside-down kingdom this Palm Sunday, we are invited to examine our own hearts and lives in light of His example. Do we embrace the values of His kingdom, prioritising love, compassion, and justice in all that we do? Or do we cling to the world's standards of success, seeking power and recognition at the expense of others?

As we journey through Holy Week, may we be inspired by Jesus' example of humility and servanthood, and may we strive to embody the values of His upside-down kingdom in our lives. Let us welcome him as our humble King, acknowledging His lordship over all, and let us commit ourselves to advancing His kingdom of love, justice, and peace in the world. Amen.

Thoughts on fasting during this Lent season ~

"Behold, you fast only to quarrel and to fight
and to hit with a wicked fist.
Fasting like yours this day
will not make your voice to be heard on high.
Is such the fast that I choose,
a day for a person to humble himself?"
- Isaiah 58:4-5 ESV

We're looking forward to our favourite once-in-4-years fellowship that's happening tonight!!

"The ancient Celts used the phrase ‘thin places’ to describe where the veil between heaven and earth becomes so thin that prayer flows easily and the still, small voice of God is heard clearly."
