A fallen tear

By Daughter Of Sarah -
Woke up from my nap to read a message from a fellow mummy that a newborn baby boy had been found in a garbage dump- dead.

Whilst I mourned for a little life snuffed out too soon, I reflected.

My friend was saying that the Mum could've given the baby away. I totally agree, but the way I see it, the Mum prob wasn't in the right frame of mind. Throwing the baby out could have been a result of fear, anxiety, or depression. When one is emotional, one might not make the best choices. We also don't know how the baby came about- from a one night stand, a relationship she fears to lose or has lost, rape? That might have shaped her decision too.

I'm not saying her actions are justified. I'm just saying that we humans judge so easily. Let's catch our thoughts and filter them through the eyes of grace.

I know where the baby is, but I am concerned for the Mum. Is she regretting what she did? Is she under a lot of guilt and condemnation now? Is she frightened and even more depressed? Will this decision scar her psychologically? Will she see every child and feel a pain in her heart? OR if she doesn't feel these now, will she feel these later? Will these stop her from coming to know Jesus one day, or could it propel her to Him? Could she one day help others in the same boat? Or will she sink in the one she is in now?

Please pray for the many teenagers and pre- teens who are struggling with such thoughts or anxieties with regards to pregnancy out of wedlock. It's easy to succumb to a knee-jerk reaction or be forced by their family to make a regretful choice. Let's pray for wholeness of mind and emotions, healing and wisdom and love to fill them. Let's not judge them but love them no matter what. Without love or forgiveness even the best of us will never get up again.

Then, let's pray our children not be tested similarly- Ditto for us too... That God will help them guard their/ our thoughts through the Holy Spirit. Amen.

I know that Jesus weeps for these troubled little ones. It's a tough hurdle for them to cross. Let's not make it harder by judging.

Sermon 31/08/2008 - Pastor Lian (NCC)

By -
Pastor Lian has been in NCC for 20 years!! Joke- There was this really old obese lady who was so fat she had serious heart problem. One day she had heart attack and brought her to hospital and she died on op table. She came face to face with God and said sheepishly I guess my time is up… and God said no you are still young you are only 50 plus and you are a NCCer - u can live till 120 years. She woke up and told the doctor and told the doc she just want to have something else done. So she had an extreme makeover. It took a few mths and as she stepped out of the hospital, a car knocked her down and she died - God was as surprised to see her as she was to be back there. Just then, the angels sheepishly admitted - they could not recognise her. Lol. ---------------------------------------------------------- From young, Pastor Prince has always said - "God said", "God can" - he has always possessed a good opinion of God. 14 years from moving to The Rock location - 2 x 7

What the Anointing Oil is & Prayer for the Anointing Oil

By -
Pastor Prince from New Creation Church has recently called upon the church members to use the Anointing Oil to bless every area of our lives. He had gone to Tiberius Church in Indonesia and seen how the anointing oil has made a difference to the Christians there. The senior pastor of Tiberius Church, Pastor Yesaya Pariadji, had been led by the Father to get his church to use the anointing oil radically. He had a vision of a biblical quotation when he was still not yet a Christian - he had no idea what it was. When he became a pastor, he finally understood what it meant. He felt very led to get his church to use anointing oil so they went ahead and used it; their testimonials are plentiful and amazing. Pastor Prince being a huge believer in Sola Scriptura, decided to discern further, pray about this and read up on the scriptural references on Anointing Oil before telling us to use it. He believes in doing things biblically - meaning we can be radical in our faith (for example our churc
