Reflections Wilson Lim 8 March 2023 Have you ever considered what kind of giver God is? Have you ever considered what kind of giver God is? God loves to give. Yet He does not give indiscriminately. He does not give out of a whim or fancy. Giving out of a whim because He just felt like it. God does not give wastefully. For God's giving is principled, it is considered. So when God gives to us who are undeserving, it wasn't because He just happened to feel like it at some moment of generosity in eternity. Rather it was principled, it was considered. Now God knew how desperately depraved we were. God knew how utterly stuck we were in our sins. God knew we were all absolutely deserving of judgment. Yet God exercised mercy and provided an opportunity for hope for each one of us. So He gave what would make the most difference. He gave His only Son to die at the cross so that eternal life may be made available to all who would choose to believe in Him. Romans 8:32 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?

Reflections Wilson Lim 4 October 2023 Your statutes are my delight I was mulling over this verse in Psalms 119 : 24 which says, " Your statutes are my delight; they are my counsellors." People take delight in many things in life. It could be watching one's child grow up, tasting an extremely yummy dish, enjoying a most adventurous holiday, taking a splendid rest, reading an exciting book that one could not put down and the list goes on. When it comes to God's Word, how does one take delight in it? Looking back in my own personal journey with the Lord, I am really glad in knowing His Word! The Bible has helped me through every juncture of my life. His Word has guided me, counselled me through the various seasons of my life. God's Word guides me like a lamp to my feet. The Bible has become a delight in my life because I can personally attest to the truth of His Word as I sought to obey the Word in my life even when it seems difficult. Yes ,God gives me strength to do so. He has my best interest at heart. God's Word has been a check and balance in my life. It serves as a mirror in testing my heart motivations. Indeed the Bible has been and is a great source of comfort and perseverance. Friends, I am still on that journey in discovering more of God's Word for my life and in answers to life's questions.

Reflections Wilson Lim 5 January 2022 Say yes to our fears or say yes to God? Would we rather say yes to our fears or say yes to God? The more we say yes to our fears the bigger a rut we will find ourselves in. The more we say yes to God, the more breakthroughs in our lives and ministry. God never intended us to be held back by our fears. For the Holy Spirit in us is intended to stir courage, empower us towards God's destiny for us. 2 Timothy 1:7 (NIV) 7  For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.

Reflections Wilson Lim 3 September 2025 God empowers His messengers 1 Cor 2:4-5 (NIV) My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, 5so that your faith might not rest on men’s wisdom, but on God’s power. In the same way, God will empower us as we step forth in faith. When we respond to God's call in faith, God will provide us the necessary empowerment to get the job done. As we walk with God faithfully, deeper and deeper into the purposes of God, we discover that God progressively increases His empowerment to our ministry. So that we may get the job done!

Reflections Wilson Lim 7 September 2022 Dealing with disappointments... All of us have to deal with disappointments. Disappointments can be harsh, stripping away at our dreams. We may be disappointed because what we wanted does not turn out. Or because we were humiliated, our ego was bruised. Yet we can embrace disappointments as our friend. Such times of disappointments can be crucial times that force us to evaluate what is truly important to us. For when we have plenty, it is easy to get caught up with the peripherals. And the peripherals begin to replace the fundamentals in our hearts. Often we are disappointed over issues which are not the main issues. It is while we wrestle through such issues with God, that it will help us come out leaner, trimmed down. Perhaps more godly and holier. Moses came out wiser and more assured of God's purposes. How about approaching your disappointments this way? Psalm 40:1-3 “I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear the Lord and put their trust in him.” Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Recent Posts See All God does not leave us...

Reflections Wilson Lim 8 February 2023 Can all of creation worship? Can all of creation worship? Is it even possible? Rev 5:13 (NIV) Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, singing: “To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!” I used to deal with this verse by saying every creature must mean humans in submarines, on aeroplanes and on land. But when I study it deeper, it means literally every creature will worship God. From the eagles in the air, to the mice on the land to the starfish in the sea. And they are literally singing a song of honor and worship unto God. Now they may not sing it in human language – but they will sing the substance of worship. This is reinforced in another psalm. Psalms 148:7 - 12 (NIV) 7 Praise the LORD from the earth, you great sea creatures and all ocean depths, 8 lightning and hail, snow and clouds, stormy winds that do his bidding, 9 you mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars, 10 wild animals and all cattle, small creatures and flying birds, 11 kings of the earth and all nations, you princes and all rulers on earth, 12 young men and maidens, old men and children.

Reflections Wilson Lim 2 October 2024 True contentment is found in a Person True contentment is found in a Person, rather than in things or achievements. The process towards true contentment starts with us recognising that God is that Person. For only God has the capability, and the concern to do so. 1 Timothy 6:6-7 (NIV) "But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it." Beyond that, it is crucial that we develop an authentic and right relationship with God. For that provides the foundation to developing true contentment. And it is out of the continual interaction with God, that our hearts begin to be transformed. Where we begin to be satisfied, at peace with what we have. Let's pursue this Person of Christ.

Reflections Wilson Lim 8 November 2023 The Lord will guide you always As I reflect upon connecting with God, I am so grateful to the Lord that He is my Guide! Not just once or twice, but consistently as I seek Him with respect to matters of life. He gives me the confidence to face life with faith and hope as I allow Him to lead and guide me. I remembered those times when I felt I was in the wilderness or at crossroads. Yet each time as I sought His face, the Lord in His kindness, has never ceased to once again guide me and further refreshes me and grants me another extra dollop of His hope! Indeed Papa God is my oasis, He causes my spiritual wells to be well nourished by His living waters that flows through my entire being as I continue to connect closely with Him. Friends, would you consider that in your relationship with Jesus? May the following scripture encourage you! Isaiah 58:11 (NIV) 11    The LORD will guide you always;     he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land  and will strengthen your frame.     You will be like a well-watered garden,     like a spring whose waters never fail.

Reflections Wilson Lim 7 December 2022 How can our children learn about authority? Deut 8:5 (NIV) Know then in your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so the LORD your God disciplines you. How can our children learn about authority? When we exercise it consistently and firmly in a godly fashion, with grace, with justice. If we allow our children to step all over us, they will not understand nor appreciate authority. Parents should make the ultimate decisions in the home, not our children. Of course we should consider our children's feelings, etc but we must make the family decisions.

Reflections Wilson Lim 4 May 2022 How then should we love? How then should we love? The correct priority was given by Jesus Himself in Matthew 22:37 - 39 (NIV) 37Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38This is the first and greatest commandment.  39And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ So, first love God with all that we are. That is the highest priority. Then love our neighbour as we love ourselves. In The City of God, Augustine wrote, “Two cities have been founded by two loves, the earthly by the love of self, even to the contempt of God. The heavenly by the love of God, even to the contempt of self. The former, in a word, glorifies itself, the latter the Lord.” We should examine our own hearts carefully and honestly. Do we love ourselves more than God? If so, we need to repent of this misdirected love and turn our love to God instead. Otherwise we may find ourselves amongst the unholy lovers.

Reflections Wilson Lim 7 May 2025 Have we grown up yet? Playing with toddlers can be so fun. But not when 20 year olds still behave like one. Have we grown up yet? Or are we still infants, toddlers in Christ? How do we know where we are? During my devotions, these verses made me pause. 1 Corinthians 3:1 - 3 (NIV) 1 Brothers, I could not address you as spiritual but as worldly—mere infants in Christ. 2 I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it. Indeed, you are still not ready. 3 You are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not worldly? Are you not acting like mere men? If our perspectives and attitudes still align with the world, if the ways of this world still hold much sway in our hearts, then we are still worldly. Spiritual infants. But if God's ways and His perspectives are what we grasp hold off, then we are spiritual. And our attitudes and actions will reflect that.

Reflections Wilson Lim 4 January 2023 Maintaining spiritual virtues... 1 Timothy 4:8 (NIV) For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come. To maintain our muscle tone, we need to be involved in consistent exercise that stretches our muscles. If we fail to maintain regular exercise, our muscles start to lose their tone. Eventually we start to lose muscle mass and it starts being replaced by fat. In the same way, maintaining spiritual virtues and godly character requires focus, consistent spiritual disciplines and exercise. That is why we are urged to pursue! It requires some effort, some determination and some discipline. Even courage. God is there with us. God is backing us. God provides us all that we need to pursue these virtues. God provides His grace to do so. We just have to apply it. Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Recent Posts See All God does not leave us...
