Hi all,

As we approach the Holy Week (the last week of our Lord's life on earth 2000 years ago). Here's a poem for us to ponder.....

M.Y.

The Journey of the Cross

As I follow the journey of the cross,
I was in the crowd watching,
As the Roman soldiers mocked and spat at the Lord,
His face is disfigured by continuous punches,
Smeared by countless spittle.
His head is pierced by the crown of thorns.

Then the Lord was brought to be scourged,
Where He was whipped by heartless men,
Like an animal is whipped by its cold-blooded owner,
Blood flowed from His body and soaked the floor in red.

Lastly, the King of kings was crucified with criminals,
Mocked by passer-bys and sneered by by-standers,
But He asked God the Father to forgive their ignorance.

My heart aches within me,
Instinctively I start crying out to Him:
"Why Lord? Why do You allow Yourself to suffer like this?"
The Lord looked at me with a smile, And said:
"I suffer for you My child. I came to rescue you
From sin and eternal death."
As I looked at my hands,
I saw the hammer and the nails,
That nailed my Saviour to the cross.
Then I realised I was one of those
Who murdered Him,
I was one of the culprits!
The Lord shed His blood for me!
So that I can be reconciled with God!

title: God will stand till the end

Hi all,

Let's be reminded that our security lies in God and not in the things created by Him. When we substitute God with others things, they becomes our idols in our lives that will fail us one day. God reminds us: " ...declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times things not yet done, saying, 'My counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish all My purpose...'" (Isaiah 46:10)

Let's spur one another to trust in the Lord always!

1 Kings 18:21

Elijah came near to all the people and said, “How long will you hesitate between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow Him; but if Baal, follow him.” But the people did not answer him a word.

“Hedging bets”

Millions of people say they believe in God, but to guarantee the good life they also put their trust in capitalism, science, or immoral pleasures. Recently, however, we’ve seen further proof that these gods cannot deliver. Free markets have collapsed, sending the economies of most countries into deep recessions. Scientific breakthroughs have produced cloning and greenhouse gasses. And the sexual revolution left us with AIDS and increased divorce.

Our predicament is not unlike Old Testament Israel, which hedged its worship of Yahweh by betting on Baal, the god of fertility. Baal was the storm god who, with lightning in one hand and thunder in the other, promised to send rain on the Israelites’ fields and make them rich.

God by striking Israel at their point of compromise. You worship Baal for the rain he provides? Then “there will be no dew or rain during the next few years until I give the word!” (1 Kings 17:1).

After 3 years of drought, the parched Israelites agreed to meet Elijah on Mount Carmel for a faceoff between Baal and Yahweh. The prophets of Baal shouted and cut themselves, but they couldn’t persuade Baal to drop a lightning bolt and burn their sacrifice. Elijah scoffed that perhaps the pagan god was “daydreaming” or “relieving himself,” “Or maybe he is away on a trip, or is asleep and needs to be wakened!” (1 Kings 18:27).

When the exhausted Baal worshipers had finally given up, Elijah called down fire on his waterlogged sacrifice, a fire so intense that it consumed even the stones of the altar. Then Elijah seized the prophets of Baal and slew them.

Capitalism, science, and sex are good gifts from God. But if we put our trust in them (instead of Him), He may use these very things to destroy us. —Mike Wittmer, Our Daily Journey CLICK HERE to visit OurDailyJourney.org

title: Children trained to be suicide bombers

Hi all,

Let's remember and pray for the children in countries where poverty is a norm and hatred is been taught by extremist groups that advocate murder in the name of religious beliefs and make use of innocent children as their tools. And let's pray for our children and youths in our church to be strong in the faith of the Lord and the ability to discern between what is good and evil based on the the word of God, the Bible.

title: Look unto Jesus

Hi all,

Here's a poem of comfort written by a person who is constantly struggling with his physical diseases. Hope it will bring comfort to those of us who are struggling.

M.Y.

LOOK UNTO JESUS

When we are trapped,
Surrounded by the walls of impossibility,
Look unto Jesus,
The God of the impossible.

When storms threaten us,
And we are overwhelmed by them,
Look unto Jesus,
The Lord who walks in the midst of the storm.

When things do not go our way,
Which makes our hopes and dreams shatter,
Look unto Jesus,
The Giver of Heavenly peace,
And the Comforter of our souls,
Who will always be there,
Whenever we need Him.
