Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Wish you Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all readers. May God bring joy, peace and comfort through this coming Christmas season. Christmas has been celebrated by many just for economic gains, just spend time with friends, just enjoying in worldly pleasure, shoping, etc. How about you? How do you prepare to spend this coming Christmas? I am sure God wants to bless you but the only thing is you need to seek the will of God.

For me as I am planning to spend Christmas with family after two years, my prayer is that I may bring peace, joy and comfort to my family and church members through sharing the word of God, through prayers,through giving, and just by my presence. I want to bless others even as God has been giving me manifold blessings. I want to be channel of blessings to many. I want to share God's love, God's giving of His only Son. Through that the world may have peace, joy and comfort.

Neglected Christians

I happened to talk with one the elders of Chin Christian Fellowship in Kuala Lumpur. He mentioned that people are ashamed to invite pastors when they don’t have money to offer. Giving offerings to the pastors have been turned into a kind of custom. The pastors also expect to get some thing when invited. So what happen to the poor who don’t have money to give offerings? Are they forgotten? Are they neglected? How do they conduct their marriages? How about in their sicknesses and in their troubles? The questions remain unanswered.

I have been visiting un-church Christians for two years and have been seeing the plight of people. I really have a heart to help these people. There are some who don’t have just rice to eat. Sleeping, eating, bathing places are horrible. Their rooms are over crowded. Some of them have to work even on Sunday and have no time to go to the church. Some of them are cheated by the employers. Because of these situations their spiritual lives have been withered. They have no mood to read the Bible and go to the churches. Where are the Christians claiming to be light and salt to the earth? They just need some one beside them in their difficulties, hardships, bereavements, and so on…..

My Tears come as I shared God's love

Malaysia National Evangelical Christian Fellowship (NECF) plans to share God's love by showing video to friends this coming Christmas. They call this evangelism "hope celebration Malaysia". My wife and I thought it is good for us as well to show the video to some of our friends and share the love of God and the hope that we have in Christ.
We screened at one of my friends house and after which followed by my testimony of encountering Christ and I also shared about the love of God. As I shared my testimony and how much God loves me, my tears come down. I find hard to hold back my tears in order that I might continue sharing God's love. I strongly believe the tears I shed is precious to God.
"God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us". He died for us that we might have life. My Myanmar friends in Malaysia is in need to know the love of God. As I am here, my prayer is that I might bring some to Christ. Pray that they may know Christ. Until and unless we invite Christ in our lives, we can't say Immanuel- God with us and Christmas has no meaning to us.
