Reflections Wilson Lim 6 July 2022 Our biggest problem... Do you know our biggest problem in our lives is sin? Often in the Gospels, we find that Jesus is more interested in dealing with the main problem first. And that is the old-fashion word sin. Sin is shown by our selfishness, self-centeredness. I want to do things my own way. Isa 53:6 (NIV) "We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; ..." This separates us from God. (Isa 59:2 NIV) "But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear." It is this sin that is the root of most problems in our lives and in this world today. It can only be dealt with properly when people choose to listen to God and to follow Him. The first step is to turn to God and recognise our sin. And God will forgive us. Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Recent Posts See All God does not leave us...

Reflections Wilson Lim 9 November 2022 Why doesn’t God perform miracles... Have you ever wondered why God does not just do amazing miracles to convince us all to believe? If God simply overwhelmed with incredible demonstrations of His power, then the hardened heart may reluctantly admit that God is God. Not because they really had faith, but because they had no answer to refute God. Yet the heart condition had not changed. It is still hard! They will find other excuses later on to disbelief or not to follow God. That is why I believe God often uses the more subtle approach. Because God seeks to expose the true heart condition. That is why Jesus said in John 20:29 (NIV) 29  "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed." One day when we stand before the judgment seat of God, we will have no excuses. God will point to various incidents and say - that shows the condition of your heart!

Reflections Wilson Lim 5 October 2022 God's promises... Have you ever had a clear sense that God has given you some promises? Perhaps from the Scriptures? Or from prophecy? Exodus 6:6-8 (NIV) 6 "Therefore, say to the Israelites: 'I am the LORD, and I will bring you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians. I will free you from being slaves to them, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with mighty acts of judgment. 7 I will take you as my own people, and I will be your God. Then you will know that I am the LORD your God, who brought you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians. 8 And I will bring you to the land I swore with uplifted hand to give to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob. I will give it to you as a possession. I am the LORD.'" God reminded Moses that He had promised to deliver the people from the Egyptian oppression. That He will prove He is with them. That He will bring them to the Promised Land. It is crucial to recall the key promises that God may have given us. Either through the Scriptures, through the Holy Spirit or through prophetic words. It is important that we write down the prophetic words or the burdens and visions that God had given us. So that we can remind ourselves clearly one day. We have our prophetic words written down - so that we may revisit them at a later time. Writing them down makes it clearer and allows us to assess them over time.

Reflections Wilson Lim 2 February 2022 God instituted a system of restitution Something terribly missing from our justice system these days is the concept of “restitution”. God instituted a system of restitution in order to allow for sins to not only be forgiven by God, but so society can deal with the affects to sin. Ex 22:1 "If a man steals an ox or a sheep and slaughters it or sells it, he must pay back five head of cattle for the ox and four sheep for the sheep. Also, by reconciling our past, we are able to deal with the root causes of our sin. The bible doesn’t just say to “stop stealing”, but teaches us to deal with the root reasons why a person steals. Eph 4:28 (NIV) He who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with his own hands, that he may have something to share with those in need. We learn that the root sins of a thief are laziness and selfishness. Too lazy to work for what the thief wants, and too selfish to care that what they steal belongs to somebody else. So in order to deal with our past stealing, we need to deal with both the laziness by “working with our own hands” and with the selfishness by “ sharing with those in need".

Reflections Wilson Lim 3 July 2024 Shall we obey God carefully? In terms of obeying God, to miss by a little can mean to miss by a lot. Imagine if the scientists that launch space probes to the moon were to miscalculate the trajectory by fraction of a degree. This slight error will lead to the probe missing the moon by thousands of kilometres! When we choose not to be detailed in our obedience to God, our partial obedience is not obedience, but disobedience. Sometimes going further than what God has said can also lead to disobedience! Yonggi Cho shared about a major building project where he started to build a huge new church auditorium. He felt God gave him the ok for the project. So they started building as they raised funds. But a national economic crisis occurred and the church was not able to raise enough funds. The church got stuck in the middle of the building project with huge debts. Cho sold everything he had to help pay the debt but it was so bad he became depressed and almost committed suicide. God later showed him the problem was Cho added another major building to the project which God never gave the ok for. Deuteronomy 5:33 (NIV): "Walk in obedience to all that the Lord your God has commanded you, so that you may live and prosper and prolong your days in the land that you will possess."

Reflections Wilson Lim 2 April 2025 Equipped for Every Good Work There is a huge diversity in good works that the Scriptures can equip us for. In all our different roles and responsibilities. In all these different roles we can be involved in good works by being a better person and doing good things better, to God’s glory. Matthew 5:14 - 16 (NIV) 14“You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.  15Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.  16In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven. Scriptures can equip us to be a better friend. A better husband or wife. A better employee or boss. A better leader. A better citizen. A better missionary. A better witness for God. So let's dig into it. Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Recent Posts See All God does not leave us...

Reflections Wilson Lim 6 September 2023 When God calls, God will provide When God wanted to have the Tabernacle of Moses built, all the necessary resources was at hand amongst the Israelites. Exodus 35:4-5 (NIV) 4 Moses said to the whole Israelite community, "This is what the LORD has commanded: 5 From what you have, take an offering for the LORD. Everyone who is willing is to bring to the LORD an offering of gold, silver and bronze… Did you notice the way God instructed the Israelites to contribute towards the tabernacle? God only instructed the Israelites to give. There was no mention of seeking external help. The Israelites were the solution to building the tabernacle. All the necessary resources resided within the Israelites themselves. God had blessed them sufficiently. They had enough to contribute towards building the tabernacle. The principle is this. God will provide sufficient resources for His purposes through His people. Of course, we can also look outside for assistance and resources. But often, when God calls, God will provide. When God calls a church to a task, a project, God will often provide from within the local church. When a wise leadership properly manages the project, there will be sufficient from within.

Reflections Wilson Lim 3 August 2022 Sincerity of our faith Did you know that God is very concerned about the sincerity of our faith? Probably more than most of us are. Hebrews 10:22 (NIV) let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. We can all look good like good Christians on the outside. I accepted Christ in 1983. And in that time, I learnt a lot of Christianese. You got to know a lot of these if you are going to be a pastor. :) And when it comes to Christian ministry – I think I’ve got quite a lot of brownie points. But you know what? At the end of the day, when I come before Christ, it is about the sincerity of my faith. Sometimes, I forget and God will remind me! What do you think?

Reflections Wilson Lim 8 November 2023 Worship God When we fail to truly worship God, we fail to discover one of our key purpose. When we fail to truly worship God, we fail to reach our highest potential. 
 
 One of the things that happens when we worship is something begins to realign in our souls and spirit. We touch God and God touches us deeply. Like iron dust realign in magnetic field to the north and south magnetic poles. That is why the psalmist was happiest to dwell in God’s presence. Psalms 84:10 (NIV) Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere; I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked. 
 When we truly worship God, it brings us into a zone of fulfilment. Because that is what we were made for.

Reflections Wilson Lim 2 October 2024 True contentment... Carnality is a shown by worldly desire for more. It is about “I want!” It is a desire impossible to satisfy. The more we have the more we want. More shoes, better smartphones, better laptops, more expensive cars and houses! On the other hand, true contentment is not so much about whether we have all we want. True contentment is about a state of heart where there is a satisfaction, a peace with what we have. It is no longer, “I shall not want because God provides all”. Rather it is “I shall not want because my desires have been transformed.” “Truly, the secret of contentment is not having much but wanting little.” Matthew Henry. Which state are we in today? Philippians 4:11-12 (NIV): "I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want."

Reflections Wilson Lim 6 November 2025 The Blessings of Choosing Righteousness Psalm 23:1-4 (NIV) 1 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. 2  He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, 3  he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. So God’s intent is to guide us into paths of righteous living. That we may live rightly before God. Further, I believe that these paths are also intended to develop righteousness in our lives. The more we choose to walk in righteous living, it actually develops our convictions for righteousness. For we see more the benefits, the joy, the peace, the blessings that comes with righteous living. Just like exercising regularly. When we begin to feel the benefits, it encourages us and builds conviction in us about exercise. We need not fear about the nature of the paths God will guide us to. It is always paths of righteousness. Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Recent Posts See All God does not leave us...
