When I went to the church prayer meeting yesterday night eventhough I was quite late, dressed still in my work clothes, I could see men and women of faith praying and petitioning to our Lord to continue to bless this nation of ours. I was on my knees thanking the Lord for His strength in all of us. As the attending people prayed for our nation, the tone was total forgiveness for the perpetrators and also for God, the Father to love and protect the people irrespective of race, colour and creed. We prayed , intercede and petition fo God for calmness and peace to prevail. We prayed for blessings upon the people of this nation and also upon our leaders. There is simply no banners, no posters nor demonstrations here - just the heart and soul of the Christians praying their hearts out for this nation of ours where you and I live in. This is what Christians do - be on their knees, be prayerful, be aware of the needs of the poor and needy, be conscious of the needs of the people around us and to know that God loves us and that we should shine that love to others around us.
As Christians today, I dare say that we have lost our focus in God. We erect buildings after buildings and plunder our financial resources on buildings to contain God when we should helping the poor, the needy and be a blessing to the everyday people on the street. This is a wake up call to Christians to heed the call of God to pray, to see to the needs of the people, to bless our nation , to pray for our leaders and to be a blessing to others. We are called to propel God's love and love the unloved. This is what God have entrusted us to do. We need to wake up from our slumber, complancency, aristocratic living, gangrenic lifestyles, "holier-than-art" attitude and examined our purpose in God. I take heart form this experience that God is doing His mighty works of change. A fresh wind of change is sweeping over us and coming our way. Let us be ready for the change that He brings and may we be blessed in every way.
Once again, thank you, my friends wherever you may be! God bless you, Malaysians!
