Prayer Meeting on 20 Feb

Before anything, let’s take a look at a video that helps to recap on what were the key points during last Friday’s prayer meeting, that’s based on 2Cor 1:6-11.

1) That which we must face.

What happen to you is not as important as how we perceive it to be. But how we perceive it to be, is not as important as how we response to it! We must all face the fact that Christians have trials to face too.

Pain is unavoidable, but misery is optional.

2) That which we must know.

We must understand the fact that human needs trials to grow. And we must know that God gives trials so that we can grow. And he will never give us what we cannot handle.

Trials are good for our spiritual health.

3) That which we must want.

We must want the will of God. The question here is, do we desire to walk the will of God or do we tend to do things our way? Many other trials will come when we choose to walk God’s will.

Do you choose to walk his will?

4) That which we must do.

We need to seek God for guidance and help. Trust that God will make a way when there seems to be no way. We have to create a spiritual instinct that we will ask God for help in times of troubles.

In our darkest moments, God does his deepest work.

5) That which we must hold fast to.

Hold on to the promises that God will deliver us. The purpose of trials is not to humiliate us, but to build our spiritual muscles. In terms of trials, God always want to draw us close, set us free and use us more.

There is always a good reason behind a bad day.

Now, Kwaihoong has got something to share about the prayer meeting. (Kwaihoong, please)

“In our darkest moments, God does the deepest work”

Everyone will face a bad day, but how do we respond?

God spoke to me during the prayer meet last Friday that every trial we faced happens for a reason. God gives us His comfort that there’s a purpose for each and everything that has happens, nothing is coincidental. He wants to strengthen our faith muscles and with that, we must want the will of God.

Before, when things are not going on smoothly, I would ask God why is this happening, asking God whether the reason for the things that are happening to me lies with me?

God said to me, trials happened not to discourage you, but to allow God’s purpose within us to be fulfilled. Human beings cannot grow without trials. With trials, we then are able to see the imperfection and limitations we have. And from there, we are able to strengthen our faith muscles as God will make a way.

“In our darkest moments, God does the deepest work” When bad days happen, face it with God’s strength and faith for God’ purpose to be done!

“God will make a way when there seems to be no way. He works in ways we cannot see, He will make a way for me.”
