Doing the Right Things During the 'Wrong' Time
In turbulent times such as the one we are living in, it is all the more crucial to have faith in God's power, wisdom and mercy, said NECF Malaysia Secretary-General Sam Ang in his opening address at the recent Tamil Pastors' and Leaders' Conference.
Over 500 participants attended the two-day conference, entitled "Living and Leading in Turbulent Times", which was organised by the NECF Tamil Commission.
NECF Chairman Rev. Eu Hong Seng continued the exhortation with an inspiring message from Psalm 27. Speaking about King David's exuberant declaration of faith, he urged the participants to remember 10 "right things" to do during this difficult time: 1) Go to the right person; 2) Maintain right thinking; 3) Assume the right posture; 4) Be in the right place; 5) Cultivate the right responses; 6) Recall the right experiences; 7) Do the right thing; 8) Recognise the right enemies; 9) Embrace the right perspective; and 10) Wait for the right timing.
The other speaker, Rev. Augustine Jebakumar - Founder/Director of GEMS Mission, India - shared that God was indeed shaking the world and that we ought not to be afraid. During the two night rallies, he preached about spiritual blindness among Christians, taking his message from Rev. 3:18, "...and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see."
Many in the congregation were struck by his message and responded to the altar call for repentance. |
