Memory Verse: Hebrews 13:5
Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
This is a reminder for us Christians, that we should be contented of the things we have. We should not covet other people's possessions. Why? Because God promised us that He will never leave us nor forsake us. Isn't that is more than enough? The almighty God is always with us, the creator and heaven and earth, the one who owns the universe will never forsake us. What else should we worry about?

Sufficient Grace
Memory Verse: 2 Corinthian 2:9
And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
We know that Paul, during his ministry, suffered from physical infirmities. Prior to this verse, he mentioned that he besought the Lord, not only once, but thrice, that his thorn of the flesh may depart from him. And this is God's answer to him. God did not take away his infirmities from assured Paul that His grace is sufficient for him.
What a great promise, isn't? We maybe in trouble or in pain or in financial crisis at the moment, but always remember that His grace is sufficient for us. He will supply whatever our needs at the moment. He is just waiting for us to claim them from Him. So what are you waiting for? Kneel down and bring unto God your need and wait for His answer.
Have a blessed day!

Few Laborers
Memory Verse: Matthew 9:37
Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;
Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.
More and more people hear the Word of God everyday. The Word of God is being preached all over the world via television, radio, internet and other forms of media and communications. But how about those who cannot be reached by these media. And how about those who were able to hear the Word of God but no one made any followed-up on them? How many of them will be truly saved? And if they got saved, how many of them will grow and mature spiritually?
Let us face it, human intervention is still necessary and God still uses man (or woman) to reach out the lost souls. But not all of us can go to the field. God chose, prepared and equipped certain Christians to do the actual job. These are the missionaries, who leave their conveniences, friends and even love ones to obey God's calling. They bravely face or willing to face all the uncertainties that are waiting for them in their mission field.
As their brethren, are we just going to stand away from the field and watch them do all the work? Are we not going to help them? Can we just let them give up everything for the lost soul while we are enjoying our lives selfishly? Until when we will be just a spectator?
If we cannot go physically, let us help them by sharing what we have to meet their daily needs. We can give to help them reach their mission field. Will you be willing to share? Your one cent can go miles if given for the Lord's work.
