One can almost imagine the fear in Satan as he thinks of the Church's unmeasured potentials. "Let the Church sleep! If she wakes up, she will SHAKE the world!" so the saying goes. Is not the Church the sleeping giant of today? There is more evidence of religious sensation before our eyes than evidence of spiritual regeneration and supernatural phenomenon! Not many Christians today can forget the

There's an urgent global appeal to consider the strategic importance and potential of the 1.2 billion children and youths in the 4/14 Window (children aged from 4 years to 14 years). As a national church, we need to open our hearts and minds to the idea of reaching and raising up a new generation from within this vast group - a generation that can experience personal transformation and can be

They would meet for Bible study once a week, studying the Word of God and singing hymns, united through the Holy Spirit in one faith and under one Lord. When they came across difficult passages in their studies that divide their respective denominations, they would maintain love, patience and care for one another. Yet come Sunday, their differences will be marked in their Catholic, charismatic,

The authorities have made great concerted effort to actively target the younger generation in Islamising the native people, the 'Bumiputeras' of East Malaysia. The Islamic religious authorities have focused their activities on longhouses by for example, setting up hostels or "asrama" where the warden and staff are Muslims who deliberately influence the students living there towards Islamic values

Alex had always been ambitious and wanted to study in the US but all came unstuck when he failed in his exams and his girlfriend broke off their relationship. Life crumbled into complete darkness. Unable to cope he began to hang out in pubs and soon got involved with the wrong kind of "friends". Soon, he was drawn into their 'club drugs'. This is just one case of thousands of young people who

When others sleep, the Mat Rempits begin their day. Mat eagerly looks forward to these daily gatherings. His friends in the gang are his life. With them he feels brave, the drugs make him feel alive, far from the aimlessness at home, loiterings in the shopping malls and being called 'hopeless' and 'useless'. His life is like a motorcycle, always on the move and picking up speed. When in speed, he

Davin didn't like it when mum's boyfriend stayed in the house. When mum wasn't around, he would become moody and violent. Grabbing Davin's neck, he would stub his cigarette on his arm, legs and private parts laughing as Davin screamed in pain. Davin feared telling his mum as he was threatened with further punishment and beatings. Everyday we hear cases of children sodomised, brutalized, raped in

Through the years, we have enjoyed much peace, stability, growth and prosperity despite the many upheavals at different times and seasons. The Lord has preserved us as a nation...as the Body of Christ rise up in prayer. Truly we thank God for raising up His people to stand in the gap to intercede like never before. Over the last two decades, we have seen the prayer movement gaining great speed.

by NECF Malaysia 40-Day Fast & Prayer War has been declared since the beginning of time when the 'serpent' sought to crush the seed of the woman - her posterity. Today, within nations globally, hundreds of millions of innocent lives have been snuffed out before they could see the light.

by NECF Malaysia 40-Day Fast & Prayer Manjeet had served faithfully as a clerk in the Government all his working life. He longed to see the day of retirement but when it came and the days turned to months and then years, he became restless and anxious as his EPF savings started dwindling and his children contemplated putting him in a home.

by NECF Malaysia 40-Day Fast & Prayer In 1962, a director of FBI said, "Movies are doing more to advance crime and juvenile delinquency than any other factor today." How true his statement has become. The media is a powerful tool that can advance good or bad, positive or negative effects. Today we are seeing a stream of perverted sex, witchcraft, violence, murder, brutality, high divorce rates

by NECF Malaysia 40-Day Fast & Prayer While the older generations were brought up around television, our youths today are brought up on computers.

by NECF Malaysia 40-Day Fast & Prayer Islamic authorities have issued edicts that barred girls from behaving like tomboys and banned Muslims from doing yoga, although neither was enforced. Earlier this year, a Muslim woman was ordered to be caned for drinking alcohol. In recent times, criticisms against the Islamic authorities' overzealous attempts at clamping down on immoral behaviour have

by NECF Malaysia 40-Day Fast & Prayer The Lord has ordained the creation of wealth through commerce. Wealth is to be gained through righteous dealings and shared with the poor. This cycle of receiving, generating wealth and giving to the needy is a wondrous picture of God's providence and care for the poor. Let the people of God in every line of commerce seize this truth that through our

by NECF Malaysia 40-Day Fast & Prayer Many seniors in the church refrain from taking an active role in the church because of their age and the availability of younger and more energetic people. Many feel that others are able do a better job and so they just fade away into the background. Should our seniors resign and become dormant in the Church? Has their time passed? God forbids!

by NECF Malaysia 40-Day Fast & Prayer As the population disparity between males and females widens, many middle-aged single women today find themselves without suitable life partners. This is further aggravated when there are more single women than single men in local churches. The danger with this situation is the temptation to get married outside of the faith. Coupling this is the pressure

by NECF Malaysia 40-Day Fast & Prayer Our Father longs for the hearts and minds of young adults. This generation of youths who have great potential and resources, are the most untapped or un-used as they are busy with their careers or find church not relevant. When they are captured and captivated, they will be world changers, fulfilling God's destiny for their lives and calling for His Kingdom

by NECF Malaysia 40-Day Fast & Prayer Never before have we experienced a wave of young people rising up in prayer, reaching out in compassion for the welfare of the nation. This is just the tip of the iceberg; we have yet to see the fullness of that which is to come.

by NECF Malaysia 40-Day Fast & Prayer Strike the shepherd and the sheep will scatter. The enemy knows where to strike. Pastors, elders and church leaders are often the chief targets of the enemy's attack. Spiritual leaders are not super-beings. They have their needs, limitations and weaknesses. In addition, the ministry has become more and more complex and challenging. To be effective servants

by NECF Malaysia 40-Day Fast & Prayer We need to seek God and get rid of the pride and loftiness in our hearts and mind. Like Moses, we need humility and strong team unity so that the 'giants' in our nation will be conquered. In Ex 17:8-16, we see the interdependence of all generations for the battle to be won. Moses could have held his hands up like a champion, but if Joshua and his men had

by NECF Malaysia 40-Day Fast & Prayer Abraham, the father of our faith, inherited blessings from God that saw the progression of generational blessing passing from one generation to the next. In Gen 27:33, Isaac said to Esau, "I blessed him (Jacob) and indeed he will be blessed!" In Gen. 48-49, Jacob gathered his sons and blessed them and their families and spoke prophetically about their

by NECF Malaysia 40-Day Fast & Prayer Today, parents are more disconnected and less involved in their children's lives than any other generation. Many parents have entrusted the care of their children to "surrogate parents" - parents or parent-in-laws, day-care centres, babysitters or worse, television and video games which have begun to influence the children's moral and social values.

by NECF Malaysia 40-Day Fast & Prayer Mal 4:5-6. God promised to send us the prophet Elijah to turn the hearts of the fathers to their children and children to their fathers and together to God.

by NECF Malaysia 40-Day Fast & Prayer We may ask, "What is the spiritual state of our nation and why is there so much internal strife in our homes, churches and among people groups in our nation?" The reasons are simple: we have broken the two commandments - loving God and loving one another. All broken relationships are the result of violating these commandments. If we desire to see revival,

by NECF Malaysia 40-Day Fast & Prayer Marriage is a holy covenant before God and is constituted by Himself (Gen 2:24). The importance of marriage is demonstrated in John 2:1-11, when Jesus began His ministry by attending a wedding feast and performed His first miracle by turning water into wine. In the Jewish customs, the wedding feast probably lasts a week. When wine runs out during such a long

by NECF Malaysia 40-Day Fast & Prayer God Himself ordained family and marriages as the basic building block of human society. When the family unit crumbles, society will crumble as well. This family unit is most powerful and families need to WAKE UP to the realisation that the family institution is under attack!

by NECF Malaysia 40-Day Fast & Prayer God is a God of order! In whatever position we may be in, the secret of real peace and joy lies in the maintenance of His divine order in our inner being. Whether in family or church, if we fail to uphold God's order and substitute that with any other for the sake of our convenience and expediency, disharmony and confusion will be the inevitable result.

by Don Potter It has been my experience that there are usually a few people in a worship band who really shouldn’t be there. Yet I’ve also found out it’s hard to tell people “No” when they believe God is calling them to sing or play an instrument. They may not have any musical ability, but they love to worship God — isn’t that good enough? Besides the Scripture that exhorts us to play

May the Lord bless you all for your faithful service I am writing to request that during the koiros time, prayers for our nation or national issues be prayed with fervency. I have included an excellent prophetic revelation which I feel is the actual state of condition of our nation and our churches....

by Mark Gungor on December 2nd, 2009 It never ceases to amaze me how many times I get asked by people (usually, but not always, women) what they should do when the person they are dating is treating them poorly. And by poorly I do not mean that he was 10 minutes late coming to pick the girl up or he forgot what her favorite flower was. By poorly I mean guys who call these women names and talk

from Charisma Magazine Halloween is much more than a holiday filled with fun and tricks or treats. It is a time for the gathering of evil that masquerades behind the fictitious characters of Dracula, werewolves, mummies and witches on brooms. The truth is that these demons that have been presented as scary cartoons actually exist. I have prayed for witches who are addicted to drinking blood and

from Charisma Magazine Halloween—October 31—is considered a holiday in the United States. In fact, it rivals Christmas with regard to how widely celebrated it is. Stores that sell only Halloween-related paraphernalia open up a few months before the day and close shortly after it ends. But is Halloween a holiday that Christians should be observing? The word "holiday" means "holy day." But there

The Seven Habits of Highly Defective Dating I once talked to Marty, a guy in his mid-20s who enthusiastically told me about his girlfirend, Claire. They'd been dating for four years. She was a wonderful girl, he said and they had a terrific relationship. I assumed sonce they'd been together so long that engagement must be on the horizon and asked, "When do you think you guys will get married?"

The Seven Habits of Highly Defective Dating Although most dating relationships don't head towards marriage, some - especially those among older singles - are motivated by marriage. People who sincerely want to find out if someone is potential marriage material need to understand that typical dating actually hinders that process. Dating creates an artificial environment for two people to interact

The Seven Habits of Highly Defective Dating Sometimes we see children who are more impressed with the gift-wrapping than the gift itself. I can't help but think that God views our infatuation with short-term dating relationships much as some children's love for gift wrapping. A string of uncommitted dating relationships is not the gift!. God gives us singleness - a season of our lives unmatched

A Christian Several years ago, a preacher from out-of-state accepted a call to a church in Houston, Texas. Some weeks after he arrived, he had an occasion to ride the bus from his home to the downtown area. When he sat down, he discovered that the driver had accidentally given him a quarter too much change. As he considered what to do, he thought to himself, 'You'd better give the quarter back.

Many Christians stress out about making a decision because they wrongly believe they have to find God's one "right" answer to the problem. They spend countless hours struggling to determine God's "perfect will" for their lives--something God never told them to do. "Perfect will"--the idea that God has a specific plan for us and that if we miss it, then we're living "Plan B"--is not a concept

The Seven Habits of Highly Defective Dating By it's very definition, dating is about two people focusing on each other. Unfortunately, in most cases the rest of the world fades into the background. If you've ever felt like a third wheel when hanging out with two friends who are dating each other, you know how true this is. Now, in a relationship where both people are prepared to move toward

What Passion Litmus Test? By Rachel Chew Can we ever measure passion or put a finger on what passion looks or sounds like? They say that if you’re not loud, you’re probably dead. They say that if you’re not giving your loudest shout, you’re not passionate. They say our King deserves it. Our King also, most probably, deserves a lot more things. Yet we find people who have either left or changed

The Seven Habits of Highly Defective Dating When we consider that our culture as a whole regards the words love and sex as interchangeable,we shouldn't be surprise that many dating relationships make physical attraction and sexual intimacy for true love. Sadly, many Christian dating relationships reflect this false mindset. When we examine the progression of most relationships, we can clearly see

The Seven Habits of Highly Defective Dating One-on-one dating has the tendency to move a guy and girl beyond friendship and toward romance too quickly. Have you ever known someone who worried about dating a longtime friend? If you have, you probably heard that person say something like this: "He asked me out, but I'm just afraid that if wwe start actually dating it will change out friendship."

One Stormy Night By Sandra Chin The love bug sometimes hits you at the oddest times. But hey, you don't have to place yourself on the hit list especially when you aren't looking. Ever had a one stormy night episode before? That day when everything seems to go wrong, you feel depressed, handling the situation all alone.

What we fail to see is that the intimacy we experience in out string of emotional hook-ups is counterfeit. Romantic passion is sweetest when it is growing out of a relationship that's deepening in devotion. The joy of intimacy if the reward of commitment. Throughout the Bible we see that the Little Relationshi Principle (above) is an important aspect of true love. In the Old Testament, God makes

An intimate relationship is a beautiful experience that God wants us to enjoy. After all, He stated that it wasn't good for man to alone and created the woman to perfectly complement him and help him (Gen 2:18). But God has made the fulfilment of intimacy a by-product of commitment-based love. If we want to experience the goodness of His plan, we need to reconnect the pursuit of intimacy with the

I've come to understand that God's Lordship in my life does not merely tinker with my approach to romance - it completely transforms it. God not only wants me to act differently; He wants me to think differently - to view love, purity and singleness from His perspective, to have a new lifestyle and a new attitude. The basis of this new attitude is God's love for us. John explains the connection

It was finally here - Anna's wedding day, the day she had dreamed about and planned for moths. The small, picturesque church was crowded with friends & family. Sunlight poured through the stained-glass windows, and the gentle music of a string quartet filled the air. Anna walked down the aisle toward David. Joy surged within her. This was the moment for which she has waited so long. He gently
