Word of God is our food, prayer is our breathing

Thank God for the prayer meeting last night! He strengthened my soul and asked me to live by faith.

1) This world and our body is our temporary shelter. God has prepared an eternal home for us.

People who live by faith are "...longing for a better country—a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them." Heb 11:16

2) Our weakness can turn to strength in God when we depend on him.

People "...whose weakness was turned to strength; and who became powerful in battle and routed foreign armies." Heb 11:34 through faith.

"...he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me." 2 Cor 12:9

A short testimony to share with you:

As you may already have heard from me, I have increased burden for my family and relatives after my grandma passed away and I prayed for them regularly. Not long later, my cousin (younger brother) found a job in Singapore. My aunt asked me to help him find an accommodation. Being a good cousin, I was anxious to help him find the best place to influence him for God. At that time, one of my friends in the ex-ministry house happened to be going back to Malaysia for good. Praise God for the miraculous timing! There will be one vacant roommate. After much talking with my the other friend (who will be my cousin's roommate), concerns were resolved and he finally agreed to let him in. I met my cousin and my friend for dinner early this week. They get to know each other better. Things are smoother now. I am praying that he will be influenced by Christians in that house and come to church soon! Praise God for his marvelous work!

Word of God is our food, prayer is our breathing. I want to encourage you to live by faith through the Word of God and through prayer more and more. Amen.
