Greetings brothers and sisters!
1 Kings 8:61 (International Standard Version)
“ Now let your heart be completely devoted to the LORD our God, to live according to his statutes and to keep his commands, as we are doing today ”
This was part of King Solomon’s Prayer of Dedication when the temple was built in Jerusalem. King Solomon’s final request is that God’s people would remain devoted to the Lord our God and his teachings at all times. And this is really what devotion to God is all about. Because of His great love for us, God wants our hearts to be completely devoted to Him as well.
As we dedicate the coming year of 2021 to God, let’s first of all be devoted to Him, followed by our devotion to each other, and then to the work of the Lord. Let us imitate God's people, as we read about at the dedication of the temple in 1 Kings 8, and again in the first century in the Book of Acts, and commit to the heart of being a disciple of Jesus in this new year.
Our God is an awesome God and may His name be glorified despite the challenges that we all are going through right now as we gather together to hear what God says at the 2021 Virtual Malaysia Churches Conference...Amen!
Love, Malaysia Churches Ministry Staff
