“Submit for the Lord’s Sake” by Rev. Poh on 17th Nov 2019

The preacher, Rev. Poh encourages Christians to live a life with full submission to the Lord. He cited the case whereby the Lord, Jesus Christ practised submission to the Father. He explained that Jesus had submitted to the Father’s will (Mat 26:39) as shown by His act in the garden of Gethsemane. He believed that if we, Christians are the clay, we have to be submissive to the hands of the potter. Apart from that, Rev. Poh shared that if he would be posted elsewhere to serve in another church, he would also practice a submissive heart to wherever he would be posted. “Submission is a lifelong practice that paves the way for life transformation,” he pointed out. Likewise, he said “We have to live good lives among the pagans (1 Pet 2: 12a). We need to confront and end slander from pagans or pre-believers through our testimonials and the lifestyles that we live in,” he stressed. Lastly, he urged us to have a submissive heart for the Lord’s sake and to obey the authority or to whoever in the government as those people were appointed through the work of God (1 Pet 2:13-14). “Though we are to submit to human authority and Government’s authority, but ultimately we are to submit to Jesus Christ for He is our Lord,” he believed.
