Watch Night Service 2016 – Under the Care of My God, The Almighty

Psalm 91:1-16 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

1 Corinthians 6:9-10, The Unrighteous Shall Not Inherit the Kingdom of God

By Rev. Lek Aik Wee Posted on 31 December, 2016 Posted in Devotions Tagged with Devotion, Book of 1 Corinthians, 31 December 2016

The Apostle Paul speaks here grave words concerning entrance into God’s kingdom. He tells them unrepentant sinners shall not inherit the kingdom of God. And he list categorically these sins. These are applied examples of the Ten Commandments.

1 Corinthians 6:7-8, Suffer Yourselves to be Defrauded!

By Rev. Lek Aik Wee Posted on 30 December, 2016 Posted in Devotions Tagged with Devotion, Book of 1 Corinthians, 30 December 2016

Hendrickson commented well, “Paul does not say that the Corinthians had lawsuits against one another, but against themselves. The entire Christian community, so to speak, becomes a defendant before Gentile judges. The result is that these lawsuits are devastating to the morale of the Christian fellowship.” In the words of Jesus in Matthew 5:39b-40 but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also. Also, in Luke 6:29-30 And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloke forbid not to take thy coat also. Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again.

1 Corinthians 6:4-7, Why Do Ye Rather Not Take Wrong?

By Rev. Lek Aik Wee Posted on 29 December, 2016 Posted in Devotions Tagged with Devotion, Book of 1 Corinthians, 29 December 2016

The Apostle Paul is asking for restrain from the culpable parties partisan to the lawsuits in the civil courts to settle personal disputes among certain individuals. For the sake of Christ and His witness, will the defrauded party not rather suffer wrong than to go all out to right their wrong?

30. Understanding Man

By Rev. Lek Aik Wee Posted on 28 December, 2016 Posted in Prayer Meeting, Audio Sermons 2016, Sermon Notes Tagged with Audio Sermon 2016, Ecclesiastes, December 2016, Audio Sermon, Prayer Meeting

Study of the Book of Ecclesiastes

(Remember Now Thy Creator)

Understanding Man

Ecclesiastes 7:23-29

23 All this have I proved by wisdom: I said, I will be wise; but it was far from me. 24 That which is far off, and exceeding deep, who can find it out? 25 I applied mine heart to know, and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and the reason of things, and to know the wickedness of folly, even of foolishness and madness: 26 And I find more bitter than death the woman, whose heart is snares and nets, and her hands as bands: whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her. 27 Behold, this have I found, saith the preacher, counting one by one, to find out the account: 28 Which yet my soul seeketh, but I find not: one man among a thousand have I found; but a woman among all those have I not found. 29 Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions.

1 Corinthians 6:4-5, One Able to Judge Between His Brethren

By Rev. Lek Aik Wee Posted on 28 December, 2016 Posted in Devotions Tagged with Devotion, Book of 1 Corinthians, 28 December 2016

The Apostle Paul seeks to impress upon the hearts of the Corinthian Christians that it is foolish for them to seek settlement for their disputes outside of the church in the civil courts. He acknowledges that there is indeed a need for settlement. But he is seeking restrain from them so that these disputes may be amicably resolved among peacefully in church amongst the brethren.

1 Corinthians 6:4, Judgments of Things Pertaining to This Life

By Rev. Lek Aik Wee Posted on 27 December, 2016 Posted in Devotions Tagged with Devotion, Book of 1 Corinthians, 27 December 2016

The Apostle Paul reasons with the Corinthians establishing the basis that God has given them a spiritual foundation and the wisdom through His Word and the Holy Spirit to run their lives well including the wisdom to handle disputes among themselves.

1 Corinthians 6:3, We Shall Judge Angels

By Rev. Lek Aik Wee Posted on 26 December, 2016 Posted in Devotions Tagged with Devotion, Book of 1 Corinthians, 26 December 2016

William MacDonald said well, “Paul reminds the Corinthians that they will judge angels. It is almost astounding to consider the manner in which the apostle injects such a momentous statement into the discussion. Without fanfare or build-up, he states the tremendous fact that Christians will one day judge angels.”

Matthew 1:18-25, God With Us

By Rev. Lek Aik Wee Posted on 25 December, 2016 Posted in Sermon Notes, Sunday Service, Audio Sermons 2016 Tagged with December 2016, Uncategorised Sermons, Audio Sermon, Sunday Service, Audio Sermon 2016

Matthew 1:18-25 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. 19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily. 20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. 21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. 22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, 23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. 24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: 25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
