  • Mucked Up But Not Forsaken (Part 1)

    What happens when we muck up in our life? When we did something clearly sinful, perhaps abhorrent even to God? Is there any hope left? Can we ever be restored again? This is such an important issue for many who have made mistakes and regret it for the rest of their lives. When we study the Scriptures, we discover an incredible example of one man who truly messed up his life. In Exodus 2:11-15, we find Moses who thought he could save his people from the ruthless Egyptian slave masters. But his way involved killing a slave master. Pharaoh found out and he had to run for his life. Imagine how it must feel. To be running away in fear and guilt. With a past that threatens to catch up and a doubtful future ahead. Life is hanging on a thread. What a tight corner! What a lonely and hopeless situation to be in. Perhaps we may be experiencing challenges in our life right now. Or we may have experienced it in the past. Or if we should face such challenges in the future, how can we respond? When we seem to be stuck in a tight corner, one thing that often trouble people's minds is: Has God forsaken me? Is there any hope for me? From this passage we will discover the certainty that God never forsakes! NOT FORSAKEN DESPITE WRONGDOING Moses had mucked up bad. He was now a fugitive. He became a stranger in a strange land, separated from home and family, from all that he was familiar with. Perhaps like Moses, we may have done something wrong. We may be running away from certain things of our past. Perhaps, like Moses we may find ourselves deep in a dark tunnel of despair when suddenly a light appears at its very end. In the very midst of a situation gone horribly wrong, when we feel like being squashed in the corner, when one may expect God to forsake us because of our sins, the opposite occurs. Instead, we discover that God perseveres with us, and He provides us opportunities to get out of the tight corner. We discover that God perseveres with us, and He provides us opportunities to get out of the tight corner. Opportunity for reprieve Exodus 2:15 (NIV84)   When Pharaoh heard of this, he tried to kill Moses, but Moses fled from Pharaoh and went to live in Midian... Though Moses had done wrong, God provided him an opportunity for reprieve to escape the clutches of Pharaoh, possibly the most powerful man on earth at that time. What made the difference was although Moses had mucked up, he continued to look to God for help. Heb 11:27 (NIV84)  By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the king’s anger; he persevered because he saw him who is invisible. Though Moses had done wrong, God provided him an opportunity for reprieve to escape the clutches of Pharaoh, possibly the most powerful man on earth at that time. Have you ever done something silly? Mucked up because you did not understand, or were rash, or lost it for a little while? Only to realize what you had done and cried to God for help? Moses probably was in that situation. And God provided him a reprieve from Pharaoh's punishment. Indeed, God has promised that He will never leave or forsake us. Psa 9:10 (NIV84)  Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you. We are never forgotten nor forsaken despite our wrongdoing. Even if you mucked up really bad! Isn't that comforting? As long as we do not forsake God Himself. Further, when God provides a reprieve, we should not always think that God has delivered us and that is the end of the story. Usually, God reprieves us to buy us time. Time for what? Opportunity for redemption Exodus 2:16–20 (NIV84)  16 Now a priest of Midian had seven daughters, and they came to draw water and fill the troughs to water their father’s flock. 17 Some shepherds came along and drove them away, but Moses got up and came to their rescue and watered their flock. 18 When the girls returned to Reuel their father, he asked them, “Why have you returned so early today?” 19 They answered, “An Egyptian rescued us from the shepherds. He even drew water for us and watered the flock.” 20 “And where is he?” he asked his daughters. “Why did you leave him? Invite him to have something to eat.” God provided a reprieve for Moses so that God may now redeem Moses. For that is God's heart. God provided a reprieve for Moses so that God may now redeem Moses. For that is God's heart. To redeem the lost. Even though Moses was on the run, God did not forsake him. In the sequence of events, we can discern the hand of God. We may fall out of God's plans, but God seeks to help us fall right back in! We may fall out of God's plans, but God seeks to help us fall right back in! Moses was accepted by strangers. But it was not any stranger. Reuel may be a Midian, but a priest of the Most High. We have strong evidence of this because of several factors. Firstly, the name Reuel meant a "friend of El or God". Now Reuel is probably also known as Jethro, who later became Moses' father-in-law. Scholars have proposed different theories on the link between Reuel and Jethro. The different theories arose because in the Hebrew the word translated "father-in-law" just means a relative by marriage. And the word translated "father" can mean grandfather as well. Some suggested that Reuel was actually the grandfather Zipporah and Jethro was his son and hence Moses’ brother-in-law. Yet the simplest and most reasonable explanation is that Reuel and Jethro is the same person. Secondly, Ex 18:10-12 reveals Reuel/Jethro's attitude of thanksgiving towards God and familiarity in making sacrifices to God. Exodus 18:10–12 (NIV84)  10 He said, “Praise be to the Lord, who rescued you from the hand of the Egyptians and of Pharaoh, and who rescued the people from the hand of the Egyptians. 11 Now I know that the Lord is greater than all other gods, for he did this to those who had treated Israel arrogantly.” 12 Then Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, brought a burnt offering and other sacrifices to God, and Aaron came with all the elders of Israel to eat bread with Moses’ father-in-law in the presence of God. Reuel/Jethro is clearly a follower of God who was probably instrumental in influencing Moses later. He helped draw Moses closer to God and to understand God's ways. Moses may have thought he was finished as far as it relates to the purposes of God. But God was not finished with him. Moses ran away from Pharaoh and ran into God's provision for redemption. Moses who was arrogant and took matters into his own hands will now be humbled and taught to look to God. We may think we are washed out, but God wants to clean us up. We may think we are washed out, but God wants to clean us up. How does God redeem us despite us mucking up? Often when people muck up really bad, they are not in shape to go through God's normal route to mature us. Instead, He takes us on another route. A longer, slower journey to give time for restoration and rebuilding of our character foundations. It is like the difference between normal school and special school for children with some developmental challenges. Because it is like we are somewhat retarded spiritually or wounded and need a longer and slower education. In 1987, Donna Rice's name hit the tabloids in a highly publicized sexual scandal with former Colorado senator Gary Hart, a married man. Hart's bid for the 1988 Democratic nomination was trashed and so was Rice's reputation. Rice disappeared from the public eye, but she's back--passionately committed to God and to "Enough is Enough," a Christian organization fighting to keep pornography out of the hands of minors. Donna was a backslidden Christian who had wandered further and further from God. But God turned her around and redeemed her from the errors of her way. Rice is most thankful for God's work in her life: "God loves us, but he doesn't grant us immunity from the consequences of our choices. However, when we mess up, if we ask his forgiveness, he'll redeem those choices, using our mistakes as a 'door of hope' for other people (Hosea 2:14-15). I have great empathy for victims of sexual abuse and pornography. God has brought purpose to my pain."  -- from Today's Christian Woman. Christian Reader, Vol. 35, no. 2. Opportunity for rebuilding Moses thought that he had lost everything. But Moses was given an opportunity to make a fresh start. To begin rebuilding his life. God not only provided a way to redeem Moses, but also prepared for him a new life through his marriage to Zipporah and in becoming a father. Exodus 2:21–22 (NIV84)  21 Moses agreed to stay with the man, who gave his daughter Zipporah to Moses in marriage. 22 Zipporah gave birth to a son, and Moses named him Gershom, saying, “I have become an alien in a foreign land.” God provided Moses opportunity for reprieve, redemption and rebuilding. Because God does not forsake us. In all this, it is because God wants to bless us, to do us good. Jer 29:11 (NIV84)  “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” We can experience reprieve, redemption and rebuilding if we choose to look to God in faith, like Moses. London businessman Lindsay Clegg was selling his warehouse property. The building had been empty for months and needed repairs. Vandals had damaged the doors, smashed the windows, and strewn trash all over the place. As he showed a prospective buyer the property, he took pains to say that he would replace the broken windows, bring in a crew to correct any structural damage, and clean out the garbage. The buyer said, "Forget about the repairs. When I buy this place, I'm going to build something completely different. I don't want the building; I want the site."  That's God's message to us! When we become God's the old life is over. He makes all things new. All He wants is the site and the permission to build. There are still some trying to "reform," but God offers "redemption." All we have to do is give Him the "property" and he will do the necessary "building." --James S. Hewett, Illustrations Unlimited (Wheaton: Tyndale House Publishers, Inc, 1988) p. 51. We may have mucked up through some bad decisions we made. But God does not forsake us. God will give us the opportunity for reprieve, redemption and rebuilding. God does not forsake us. God will give us the opportunity for reprieve, redemption and rebuilding. There are more reasons why God does not forsake us. Find out in Part 2 . Copyright©️2026 by Wilson Lim. All rights reserved.

  • Enriched By God

    Have you ever considered where the richest place on earth is?  The answer will surprise you.   “The graveyard is the richest place on earth, because it is here that you will find all the hopes and dreams that were never fulfilled, the books that were never written, the songs that were never sung, the inventions that were never shared, the cures that were never discovered, all because someone was too afraid to take that first step, keep with the problem, or determined to carry out their dream.” ― Les Brown   How do we avoid wasted possibilities in our lives?  To enable the potential richness in our lives to blossom?  It requires us to use what God has given us to the fullest, as it was meant to.  Some of these answers may be found in 1 Corinthian 1:1-9.   Let’s start by understanding the context of Corinth.  Corinth is a large cosmopolitan city of perhaps 600,000.  Due to its location it was a bustling trade centre.  Due to its diversity, it became a cauldron for religious syncretism and immorality.  It developed a reputation for depravity.  There was even a Gk word korinthiazomai (Corinthianize), which meant "to practice fornication."     1 Corinthian was an epistle or a letter written by Paul to the believers in the church at Corinth.  It was written with the specific purpose to address various issues that had arisen there.  Because Paul wanted the church to operate God’s way, rather than in their worldly thinking influenced by the philosophies in that city.  As Paul greeted the church in Corinth, he sought to encourage the church.  He reminded them that knowing Christ has resulted in tremendous richness from God, in their lives.  In all manner of ways.   We will examine some of this richness of God in our lives, its implications and some practical applications today.   ENRICHED BY HIS GRACE   1 Corinthian 1:4-5 (NIV) “4 I always thank God for you because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus.  5 For in him you have been enriched in every way …”   Apostle Paul reminded his readers that God showed His grace, His favour to us through our relationship with Christ. A favour that is undeserved by us.  Because we are in Christ, a natural overflow is that we are:   Enriched in Knowledge (v5b) "…in all you knowledge…...”. Something tremendous is meant to occur in our lives as a result of our coming to know Christ and as we walk with Him. We are to be enriched in our knowledge.  In what way?   Firstly, we gain new perspectives due to Truth.  We begin to see things from the perspective of truth, the perspective of Scripture, the perspective of heaven.  Romans 12:2 (NIV) Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.   It could be like in Matrix the movie or Inception where what is perceived is not always reality.  It takes a waking up of our sense to the true reality.   God’s Word and His Holy Spirit renews our minds to perceive what really is. The more we understand Scriptures, a whole new vista of truth begins to dawn upon us.    Secondly, the more we understand Scriptures, a whole new vista of truth begins to dawn upon us.  We discover spiritual truths and realities that we had not known before. The more we know God, the more we experience God, the greater our appreciation of the spiritual realities that lie behind the words of Scripture.    Thirdly, the more we know God, the more we experience God, the greater our appreciation of the spiritual realities that lie behind the words of Scripture.  We come to know, taste and feel what we had understood conceptually.  Have you ever tasted some exotic fruits that perhaps you have only heard of?  You could be given descriptions of its flavour, its texture, its aroma, etc.  But until you actually hold it and eat it – it lacks tangibility. It takes on a reality that you could not have fully formed until you held and ate it.       Our enrichment in knowledge is not limited to biblical truths.  With the new Kingdom perspective, the greater understanding of biblical truths and deeper experiences in the things of God, should also enrich all the other collection of knowledge and experiences we have.  All our knowledge begins to gain new implications, new depth and richness.  As a former scientist and one who enjoys science, my knowledge of science has been enriched as I align it with my biblical perspectives.    Enriched in Behaviour (v5a) "…in all your speaking…...”.   Speech is part of our overall behaviour. Just as our behaviour has been enriched through our relationship with Christ.  We should be more loving, compassionate, gracious, respectful in our behaviour including our speech.  Colossians 4:6 (NIV) Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.   If we truly, genuinely accept Jesus as our personal Saviour and begin to walk with Him - our behaviours will gradually begin to change to be more Christ-like. If we claim to know God but we do not demonstrate real change in our hearts and in our actions, then it has to be asked whether we had genuinely come to know God.  1 John 3:10 (NIV) This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not a child of God; nor is anyone who does not love his brother.   In effect, we should be getting more gracious, more refined, more wholesome in our behaviours.  The more we are being changed by the grace of God.  When people observe us and how we behave.  They should be thinking, "Wow! I am so inspired with the way this person interacts with others.  I learn so much watching how this guy deals with conflicts.  I am amazed at this calmness and peace in the midst of great troubles."   Years ago in the church I attended in Melbourne, a retired couple would almost every Sunday invite overseas students over for lunch and took a genuine interest in their lives.  It touched the lives of many including ours.  In fact, we honoured him to have him drive my bride to our wedding.   How we behave, what we do, should be enriched by our relationship with God.  We should be more righteous in our actions, more trustworthy, more loving, etc.   Enriched in Spiritual Gifts (v7) "Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed.”   Scriptures declares that every believer has at least one spiritual gift.  It is meant to enrich us personally and the Church.  1 Corinthians 12:4, 7 (NIV) 4 There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit...  7 Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.    Every person has something important to contribute. You have something that will add to the greater good of the Body. For that is the intent of the spiritual gifts that God has given us.  1 Corinthians 12:8 - 10 (NIV) 8 To one there is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, to another the message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit,  9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit,  10 to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues. Every necessary spiritual gift that is sufficient for the church already resides amongst the congregation.   I believe that every believer should access at least one of the above gifts.  Will you exercise faith to grab hold of what God has already provided for you?  Hence use it to build God’s church, God’s way.  To serve God. To serve others.  Did you know that every necessary spiritual gift that is sufficient for the church already resides amongst the congregation.  It may be in seed form, but it is there.  Because the Holy Spirit gives what is adequate for building His church   KEPT BY GOD   1 Corinthians 1:v8-9 (NIV) “8 He will keep you strong to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.  9 God, who has called you into fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful.” God has provided for us everything we need to overcome and finish the race well.  Nevertheless, we have to choose to continue in His grace.    God will help us be faithful to the end by His grace.  Through the means of grace, God has provided for us everything we need to overcome and finish the race well.  Nevertheless, we have to choose to continue in His grace.  We could reject or neglect His grace.  The choice is ours.  Acts 13:43 (NIV) When the congregation was dismissed, many of the Jews and devout converts to Judaism followed Paul and Barnabas, who talked with them and urged them to continue in the grace of God. One key principle that helps us finish the race well is when we apply the richness of His grace in our lives.   Let us choose to finish the race well.  One key principle that helps us finish the race well is when we apply the richness of His grace in our lives.  It is as we use it for His Church that it helps us to grow and mature, and strengthen our faith in God.  As a young Christian, I started to serve in Audio-visual ministry where it helped me to learn excellence in serving God.  I learnt to be spiritually more aware of the spiritual atmosphere.  Where the anointing was resting.  To be very diligent, not to miss any part of the service.  It helped me to grow in some aspects of my personal life and understanding something more about serving God.   CONCLUSION   God enriches our lives in every way by His grace.  But we have to chose to come to Him, to lean upon Him, to learn to tap into His grace.  The more we do so.  The more we serve Him.  We will discover His enriching grace.

  • Moving Forward With God Together

    How can we experience success in our lives?  In our work or ministry? Often, we think of our personal victory but have we ever considered that God also desires us to experience community victory?  That there is a victory to be found when we follow God together?  When we unite our hearts to seek God’s victory together?  There is something powerful about uniting to move forward together under God.   I believe God wants His people to move forward together even more.  Especially each local church.  As we consider Joshua chapter 3, there are 4 key insights we can learn about moving forward with God together.  The context of Joshua 3 was that Israel was camped on the eastern side of the Jordan River waiting for instruction to cross the river to take the Promised Land.    DISCERN THE LORD’S LEADING TOGETHER   Joshua 3:1–4 (NIV) 3 Early in the morning Joshua and all the Israelites set out from Shittim and went to the Jordan, where they camped before crossing over. 2 After three days the officers went throughout the camp, 3 giving orders to the people: “When you see the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, and the Levitical priests carrying it, you are to move out from your positions and follow it. 4 Then you will know which way to go, since you have never been this way before. But keep a distance of about two thousand cubits between you and the ark; do not go near it.”   It was recorded in v1 that “Joshua and all the Israelites…” listened and responded to God. Not just Joshua. Not a handful of the faithful. The entire nation moved as one.  When God’s people unite in obedience, heaven’s power is unleashed on earth.  This is why we must move together—united as a local church. One in heart. One in purpose. One in pursuit of God.  When leaders stand shoulder to shoulder, and members walk in step with their shepherds, something shifts. The Spirit begins to stir. God begins to move.  Unity isn’t just a virtue—it’s a vessel. And when our hearts beat together in surrender, God fills that vessel with His glory.   In v2, “When you see the ark…” - the Hebrew grammar places weight on the ark itself. The emphasis is unmistakable: watch God’s Presence.  The Ark of the Covenant was no ordinary object. It was a sacred chest, a throne of mercy, a vessel where God chose to dwell for a season. It represented His presence, His holiness, His movement.  In the wilderness, the Israelites didn’t move unless God moved. By day, a pillar of cloud led them. By night, a pillar of fire lit their path.  The pillar never left its place in front of the people (Exodus 13:21–22).  They watched it closely.  They broke camp only when the presence stirred.  They were trained to be alert, responsive, surrendered.   In the same way, we must move beyond passive watching but gain a posture of a God-chaser. Colossians 4:2 (NIV) “Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.” As a local church, we must be spiritually attuned - discerning what God is doing in our midst. Sometimes His movement is marked by peace. Sometimes by divine disruption.    When we first purchased our church land in Brisbane, it wasn’t just a decision—it was a discernment.  The year before, I prophesied that God would move us into a new phase.  And He did.  This was accompanied by new growth, new excitement and new steps of faith.  Let us be a people who watch the ark.  Who move when God moves. Who chase His presence with holy urgency.   In verse 3, a clear command was given to Joshua and the Israelites, “…you are to move out…”.  Not ponder. Not delay. Move. When God moves, we must move with Him.  Imagine being stuck while the pillar of cloud moves forward—God advancing, but we anchored to comfort or to other commitments.  For example, a 25-year house mortgage can feel like a chain.  That is why when Lai Ling and I bought our house, we chose one we could release quickly—so we’re free to follow God’s lead.  It meant committing well within our means.   Could we be holding unto a job that knots us up?  Perhaps extra family commitments that lock us down unnecessarily?  These things can quietly steal our availability for God.  Be careful not to grip the things of this world too tightly.  Be ready to move. Swiftly.   When God moves—He moves.  Divine opportunities don’t wait around.  When the call of God comes, we must respond.  Don’t cling to old ways, old traditions.  If God requires change—then change.  Don’t resist Him. Flow with Him.  Let us be a people who are light on our feet, heavy with purpose, and ready to move when God says, “Go.”   In verse 4, the Israelites were given a solemn warning: Do not come too close to the holy ark.  This wasn’t a casual caution—it was a matter of life and death. In 2 Samuel 6:3–7, Uzzah was struck down by God for touching the ark as it was being transported to Jerusalem. His intentions may have been noble, but his actions disregarded the holiness of God’s presence.   This is a sobering reminder. Do not rush ahead of God.  Do not presume upon His presence.  Be prayerful. Be discerning. Wait for God’s timing.  Give God the reverence He is due.  Negligence in following His lead can cost us dearly. But when we walk with a posture of holy fear—when we move with reverence and obedience— God grants success.  God releases victory.  Let us be a people who honour His presence, wait for His prompting, and move only when He moves.   PREPARE OUR HEARTS TOGETHER   Joshua 3:5 (NIV)  Joshua told the people, “Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do amazing things among you.”   The Israelites were commanded to consecrate themselves before a holy God.  They underwent purification rituals, not as a formality, but as preparation to encounter the divine.  We must realise that God uses holy vessels. He will use you if you set yourself apart for His purposes.  Kathryn Kuhlman once said she had to die to self before God could entrust her with the ministry of miraculous healing. The anointing flows through surrendered lives. Romans 12:1 (NIV) “Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship.”   I am deeply blessed to have met those who clearly consecrated themselves before the Lord.  I have seen God’s anointing upon their lives.  Yes, God can use anyone—even the unconsecrated—but the depth and reach of that use is often limited.  Holiness expands capacity. Surrender sharpens the edge.   Let us purify ourselves as a church.  Let us set our hearts right.  Let us be ready.  Like arrows in the hand of a warrior—finely honed, straight and swift—let us be equipped to fly far and true.  Get spiritually trained. Get sharpened.  Enrol to be equipped in God’s Word.     I challenge each of us.  Set yourself apart. Die to self. Live for Him.  When the time is right, God will call.  The question is—will you be ready to be used?   Joshua stood before the people and declared with unwavering faith and expectancy, “Tomorrow the Lord will do amazing things among you.”  Not might. Not could. Will.  Lack of faith limits us.  But faith opens the horizon to the miraculous.  Smith Wigglesworth believed God for healing—and heaven responded. What and incredible legacy of faith Smith Wigglesworth left us.   William Carey, the father of modern missions, once thundered: “Expect great things from God. Attempt great things for God.”   You must believe in the call of God upon your life.  Do not waver.  Do not shrink back.  Have great faith.  Live with holy expectancy.  Trust that God will work through you—powerfully, personally, prophetically.  So I ask you:  Who will rise in faith? Who will commit themselves fully to God’s purpose?   The Lord is ready to do amazing things. Are you ready to believe?   LEADERS LEAD TOGETHER   Joshua 3:6-7 (NIV) 6 Joshua said to the priests, “Take up the ark of the covenant and pass on ahead of the people.” So they took it up and went ahead of them.  7 And the Lord said to Joshua, “Today I will begin to exalt you in the eyes of all Israel, so they may know that I am with you as I was with Moses. ”   In Joshua 3:6–7, we see a powerful picture of spiritual leadership: the priests carrying the ark went ahead of the people, setting the pace for Israel’s journey into the promises of God. Leadership wasn’t passive—it was prophetic, bold, and faith-filled.   If you are a leader, set the pace. Don’t wait for the crowd to move—lead the charge. Step into the waters first. Trust God when the path is unclear. Your courage creates a pathway for others to follow.  As leaders, we carry the responsibility to go out ahead—not just in strategy, but in faith. We model surrender, obedience, and expectancy. We show what it means to move with God.   Thank God for every strong and faithful group of leaders in your midst. But let’s not settle in complacency. Let’s continue to grow, to stretch, to reach our fullest potential in Christ.   This is the season to rise. To lead with conviction. To walk ahead with the ark—not for applause, but for breakthrough. When leaders move, the people follow. And when we move with God, miracles unfold.  Let’s lead well. Let’s lead with unity. Let’s lead forward.   TAKE THE STEPS OF FAITH TOGETHER   Joshua 3:8 (NIV) Tell the priests who carry the ark of the covenant: ‘When you reach the edge of the Jordan’s waters, go and stand in the river.’ ”   This was no gentle stream. The Jordan River, fed from Lake Huleh, surged 120 kilometers through the Sea of Galilee, plunging into the lowest place on earth—the Dead Sea, 393 meters below sea level. Its banks were steep. Its currents swift. And during flood season, it became a raging torrent.   For three days, over a million Israelites camped at its edge, watching the river roar. Impassable. Uncrossable. Unthinkable.  Then came the command: “Step into the river.”  Can you imagine the Levites? “You’ve got to be joking!”  Yet Joshua believed. The priests obeyed.  Faith doesn’t wait for calm waters.  Faith steps in while the river still rages.   The journey of a thousand miles begins with one trembling, obedient step.  And that step—into the impossible—is where miracles begin.  As God speaks to you in this season, don’t wait for the flood to subside.  Take the step. Live the faith.   Stand in the river—and watch what God will do.   CONCLUSION   Let us move forward—not alone, not scattered, but united together with God.  Let us walk in rhythm with the Holy Spirit, not lagging behind, not rushing ahead.  Galatians 5:25 (NIV) “Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.”  This is not just a gentle stroll—it’s a divine march toward victory.  When we align our steps with His, we step into the miraculous.  When we move as one, led by the Spirit, heaven’s power meets earth’s obedience.  And surely, we will experience the incredible victories of God. Not because we’re strong, but because we’re surrendered.  Not because we’re fast, but because we’re in step.  Because we are doing it together. Copyright©️2025 by Wilson Lim & Lai Ling Lim.

  • Grace for the humble | Wilson & Lai Ling

    Reflections Wilson Lim 6 January 2026 Grace for the humble Humility is the antidote to being conceited. Humility begins when we begin to realise that there is much we do not know nor understand. Humility begins when we recognise we need God. And when we begin to humble ourselves, God begins to guide us. Psalms 25:9 (NIV) 9 He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way. God will bless the humble. James 4:6 (NIV) “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” Let us be humble and find the grace of God. Amen?
