1. Matthew 19 : 26
"Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."
- Do not rely on your own flesh, but on God!

2. Jeremiah 18 : 1 - 6
" This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord: "Go down to the potter's house, and there I will give you my message. So I went down to the potter's house, and I saw him working at the wheel. But the pot he was shaping from the clay was marred in his hands; so the potter formed it into another pot, shaping it as seemed best to him. Then the word of the Lord came to me: "O house of Israel, can I not do with you as this potter does?" declares the Lord. "Like clay in the hand of the potter, so are you in my hand, O house of Israel."

Prayer.

This blog will be changed into an INFUSE prayer blog. To list out the points that God gave to us during our Saturday prayer meetings.

1. There's a big vat of living water from God which has already broken forth. Do not stand at the banks of the river and just watch people get swept past in God's water of life. Get saturated by God!

2. New wineskin

3. Isaiah 58 : 10-12
"And if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday. The Lord will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail."

4. 2 Timothy 1 : 7
"For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and self-discipline."
- Do not be afraid. God has already given us a spirit of power to be overcomers!

5. Proverbs 31 : 8-9
"Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy."

I Heart Ipoh

How appropriate that we pray for out city (and our state) today. As most of you know, the political state in Perak is not at its best right now. While we can choose and vote for the people we want to govern our state, ultimately we should be praying for God's will to be done here. We need to pray for right people to be in the right positions - people who will be upright leaders, people who will lead with integrity. In 2 Corinthians 10v3&4, it says that though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have devine power to demolish strongholds.

Yeap, as we face uncertain times, remember that God has given us a weapon that have devine power to demolish strongholds - prayer. So let's commit our city and state into the arms of God.

Today we pray for our church. As members of one body, it is important for us to keep each other in prayer, and it is important for us to encourage one another. In 1 Corinthians 12v12-27, Paul compares the body of Christ to our physical bodies. Though our bodies have many parts, it is a unit that needs to work together in order for optimum function, for if one part suffers every part suffers with it; if one part is honoured, every part rejoices with it (v26)

As we are each part of the body of Christ (v27), no one is unimportant, and we need to keep each other in prayer. Take some time today to pray for our church.

the GREAT commission

Matthew 28:18-20
Then Jesus came to them and said,"All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

Yea folks, today's scripture tells us to GO. GO and make disciples. GO and baptize the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. GO and teach them to obey God's commandments. Go, GO, GOOOOO. That's the Great Commission. To GO and tell the world the good news. We're not excluded from this commission. We are to tell the world that Jesus lives. While we most probably can't stop schooling to go to 'all nations', we can, and we should be telling our family and schoolmates that Jesus lives. There are so many people around us that need to know that God loves them. Let's be part of the story that God is weaving - GO. TELL. WHISPER IT, SAY IT, YELL IT OUT. And remember that Jesus will always be with you, so there's really nothing to be afraid of.

The end of week 1

It's the end of week one! So fast hor... So how's everyone doing so far? Just wanna encourage you guys to continue to press in. And if you have anything you want to share, please email it to infuse.fga@gmail.com. Your sharing will definately encourage other Infusers who are fasting.

So...Today's prayer topic is the schools in Ipoh. It's really important to pray for our schools because as students, schools are places where we spend lots (and I mean super a lot) of time. We're there five or sometimes six days a week. It is a place where are friends are, it is a place where we can carry out the Great Commission. Schools are one of the best places to share the gospel.

Today's verse, Psalm 119v9-16, the psalmist says
v9 How can a young man keep his way pure?
By living according to your word.
v10 I seek you with all my heart; do not let me stray from you commands.
v11 I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.
v12 Praise be to you, O LORD; teach me your decrees.
v 13 With my lips I recount all the laws that come from you mouth.
v14 I rejoice in following your statutes as one rejoices in great riches.
v 15 I meditate on your precepts and consider your ways.
v16 I delight in you decrees; I will not neglect your word.

Do you know that you are walking Bibles in your school? Your friends will never pick up a Bible to read by themselves. If we want our friends to come to know the Lord, our lives (our thoughts, actions, words) need to be lives that give good testimony to the Lord. We need to be upright in our actions, and we need to be aware of how we are behaving. Are you just like the rest of your classmates? - Do your gossip? Do you pick fights? Do you talk about people behind their backs? Or are you different?

When you say you're a Christian, do you behave like one? Remember that actions speak louder than words, and our friends will notice how we live our lives. So keep your ways pure by living according to the word of God. Read the Bible, take time to learn God's commands, meditate on it, delight in it.
