in the Name of our Great God, who take personal interest in our lives and being.

When Apostle Paul was in Athen, he came across an altar with the inscription: “To the unknown god.” He then took the opportunity to share the Gospel of the true God to the Athenian people. Acts 17:22-26.

Isn’t it pitiful that the Athenians were worshipping an unknown God? Why were they doing that? The prime reason is that you will regard someone as unknown to you if you have no knowledge of him; there is absolutely no engagement with him, no communication with him and the right term to use is he is a total stranger! The inscription is just a cover for their ignorance or religiousness. It broke Paul’s heart to see that that the Athenians are so near and yet so far from the true God! The Bible says in Acts 17:16 that “his (Paul’s) spirit was provoked within him as he saw the city was full of idols”.

Sometimes, it is not only the Athenians who are pitiful.

There are also Christians who do not know their God! We hope this statistics is small and it will never ever apply to those of us in JMK! Amen! However, some evaluation and pondering is sometimes needed.

Does it ever happen that we are so busy fingering WhatsApps texts that we haven't a minute to spare to pray & talk to God? Or are we hoping that God has a Whats-App account & we make him a Chat-group member? Does it ever happens that we browse through every other post of the Facebook but haven't got a moment to read the Bible?

Why isn't God my Facebook friend, and make posts when I am either asleep or busy clicking “likes” on other people’s posts to suit my convenience? No wonder God become unknown to such Christians! Today the waysides, the stoney grounds and the choking thorns in the Parable of the Sower assumes different forms called smart devices, social medias and technological advances.

How God led me to Himself

By Bro Daniel Low

Dear beloved brothers and sisters in Christ, I greet you in the precious name of our Lord Jesus.

First of all, I want to give thanks to God and Jesus My King church for giving me the opportunity to share my testimony on how I became a believer.

My first introduction to the gospel of Christ was in June 2016, when a mid-age housewife, who was my insurance client, shared with me about Jesus, the Son of God, the Saviour of the world. Even though I was a firm taoist believer, I kept an open mind concerning the subject of religion. I joined her beautiful and heartwarming family for Sunday church service on few occasions, but remained as a non-believer guest.

The bible scriptures appeared to me alive, deep, awe-inspriring, and flawless when they were shown at the church. I took the initiative to read the bible and watch online sermons almost every night for months because I was mesmerized by the word of God. By the end of 2016, I accepted Christ in my quiet time, brushing off the concerns on family rejection, and the journey continues ...

The spiritual transformation that took place within came from hearing and meditating the word for a period of time. It is written : So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. (Romans 10:17 NKJV) It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life. (John 6:63 NKJV) For this reason we also thank God without ceasing, because when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you welcomed it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which also effectively works in you who believe. (1 Thesalonians 2:13 NKJV) God draws me to the Lord Jesus in an unusual way. He is awesome and full of surprises.

Praise God for His divine intervention that led me to accept the gift of salvation by faith.

I hope my brief testimony has encouraged you to sow the word of God to the lost, knowing that the word shall not return void. Amen.

A Milestone in God’s Faithfulness

By Sis Meagan & Krystal Peh 17th of March is a significant and special day for Krystal and me because it marks an

important occasion. 2019 was the 2nd year anniversary of our business! For those who don’t know, Meag&Krys is helmed by Meagan & Krystal Peh. We are home-bakers and we have a small humble online business selling premium healthy snacks and sweet treats. We also supply to shops and have catered to events such as weddings, birthdays, celebrations, conferences and functions.

Since young, we always had a desire and passion to cook, bake and share our love for food. Throughout the years, this desire and passion continued to grow and increased and it developed into more than a hobby and dream, but something we knew we wanted to do. By the grace of God and in His perfect timing, Meag&Krys was born and our childhood dream finally became a reality.

From the start, we purposed in our hearts that we didn’t just want this to be a business, but a ministry and mission founded on the love of God - with kingdom agendas, kingdom goals and kingdom purposes which will help others, touch others and make an impact on the lives of others which will last throughout eternity. With every opportunity and open door He has given us, it is yet another opportunity to showcase and demonstrate His goodness and His Love, with the ultimate goal of displaying Jesus and to glorify His Name. Looking back at the past 2 years, even in the midst of challenges and doubts, we clearly see how the gracious Hand of God has been at work since the beginning and it is purely by His grace that has carried us to where we are and to where we would never even dream of.

Our heartfelt thank you to each and every one of you who has supported, encouraged and been part of this mission in one way or another for the past 2 years and counting! I also thank God for our parents who have been incredibly encouraging and supportive since the beginning, doing a lot of behind-the-scenes work which we are extremely blessed and grateful for. Seasons change, circumstances change but He who is Faithful does not change and He alone provides and sustains! We are extremely humbled & constantly overwhelmed to be able to experience Psalm 34:8 & in unprecedented and unexpected ways like never before for it is truly by His Grace, for His Glory.

“Never doubt God’s mighty power to work in you and accomplish all this. He will achieve infinitely more than your greatest request, your most unbelievable dream, and exceed your wildest imagination! He will outdo them all, for his miraculous power constantly energizes you.” Ephesians 3:20 (The Passion Translation).

Yet Knowing God is not just being armed with a head-full of bible knowledge, It is a pursuit - it requires passion, sacrifices and deliberate intentional actions - to find time in the midst of business, to reset the priorities between the urgent and the important, and come with a quiet heart into a communion with the Father. It can be 15 minutes, it can be an hour or it can be 3 hours. The duration may not be important but the longing-ness and consecration of heart matter. We may really need to put aside everything that distract what was mentioned earlier, smart phone and devices. Declare a technological fast. This is a personal time. No one else can do it for you. Don't be like the Israelites who said to Moses - “ You speak to us, and we will listen; but do not let God speak to us ….” (Ex 20:19 ESV). Take ownership of your relationship with God. Pastors & leaders can be our guide, but we are personally accountable and responsible to pray and seek His face!

Dear Brothers and Sisters, let’s not be pitiful Christians and carry around us the inscription “ To the unknown God". Unless we know our God, we cannot make Him known. Revelations will only flow when there is a connection to heaven via our engagement & alignment with the Father! This is what you can do - "declare my God as the God of __________ (fill in your name) because I know Him & He knows me personally! Amen!

God - Our Matchmaker

By Bro Devan & Sis Ageline “For the Lord Is good; His steadfast love endures forever, and His faithfulness to all generations.” (Psalm 100:5 ESV). The Lord has been truly good to Angeline and I in many areas of our lives and He will continue to do so. I wanted to share about The Lord’s Faithfulness in our wedding which took place last year on 25th November 2018. I received many prophetic words through many men of God including my dear spiritual father, Pastor Rev Dr Steven Francis during my last lesson of College Of Prophets (COP).

Angeline and I met through an alliance done by my friend Pastor Senguthuvan and my friend’s mum Mrs. Malliga. We went for a meet up and got to know each other. This was not easy as we were from different family backgrounds and countries. It took some time for us to understand each other and we are still discovering new things about one another daily. Without much delay, I will share about how the arrangements were made.

I will elaborate further on how I met Angeline in the next paragraph.

As I was awaiting upon the Lord for a bride, my prayer and desires was towards the scripture that stated Gen 4:1-67, Isaac and Rebekah brought together by the servant of Abraham. There was a day as I was waiting under the aunt’s (Mrs. Maliga) block for the picture of the bride, praying in tongues, seeking the Holy Spirit’s revelations. I saw a girl with a bag pack and waiting for the lift. I turned my face towards the wall and was praying in tongues. I heard the voice of the Lord saying to me ‘When the opportunity is given, do not miss it!’ I asked the Lord further ’Is this the girl?’ and He said ’Yes’. I was given an opportunity to see her face to face for few seconds and she went up in the lift.

The aunt brought the family picture of the bride and all went well with prayer.

Pastor Steven blessed both of us and asked us to pray and work towards our engagement. My parents and I went over to Malacca for the engagement. The engagement went very well by the grace of God. We then prayed and planned towards our Pre-Wedding Shoot, ROM, and marriage. Our Pre-Wedding shoot cost was about $700. That amount was really unbelievable but Our Lord made it possible and beautiful for us. Angeline and I had little finances for our wedding preparations. Without taking any loan or borrowing from anyone, God blessed us with the financial providence from my parents. God moved their hearts to give us generously without even us asking them for help. The Lord had been guiding us through till now. He has been the Strong Foundation and Pillar of our lives. Our parents, relatives, friends and

colleagues were also blessed through this marriage. The Lord was there at our wedding to bless us. The wedding was a blessed one with senior ministers of God, our family members and most importantly with the help of our brothers and sisters from Jesus My King Church, who made it possible.

The Lord is faithful to his promises. God is not man, that he should lie, or a son of man, that he should change his mind. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfil it? (Numbers 23: 19 ESV). This is truly a Testimony and I would like to encourage all the youths who are praying and waiting God for a partner. God will give the best to his beloved when we truly seek Him in every single part of our lives. Let us learn to include Him in every area of our lives by giving Him the key to all the rooms of our heart. He who calls you is faithful; he will surely do it (1 Thessalonians 5:4 ESV).

Truly He makes things beautiful in His Time. To end it all “God Is Indeed The Best Matchmaker” as said by a fellow man of God, Pastor Derek Prince.
