Pray for Beijing Zion Church and China!!!
Please let ALL Christians know.
On September 9, at around 4pm, after our last Sunday service ended and most members left, about 120 to 200 government officials in 50 plus cars, including police cars, ambulances, and other government-owned cars stormed our church, Beijing Zion Church BJ Zion.
Two blocks were locked down. They held our senior pastor, Ezra Jin, alone for about four hours. About a dozen brothers and sisters were withheld temporarily for a while. At around 8 pm, all members were freed. They smashed our logo and vision statement in the Church.
Please pray for peace to all our members, and for peace in Beijing!
This city has so much violence, and the Children of God needs your prayer support to stay on the way of God. Thanks

Takeaways from Proverbs 17
(Day 10 of #ProverbsHesedWisdomChallenge to read a chapter from the Book of Proverbs each day which corresponds to the date as suggested by Pastor Joseph Prince in 7 Jan 2018’s Vision Sunday sermon -
http://www.miltongoh.net/miltons-blog/the-year-of-hesed-wisdom-vision-sunday-new-creation-church-theme-of-the-year-2018 ):
When we go through trials in life, treat them as tests from the Lord, and we when we emerge out of the trials victoriously, the impurities in us will be removed.
Every trial if embraced, teaches us valuable lessons and makes us better.
“The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold, But the LORD tests the hearts.” (Proverbs 17:3 NKJV)
The one who has the most false and spiteful lips is the devil.
The more acts of evil one does, the more place that person gives to the devil to wreck havoc in his or her life.
“An evildoer gives heed to false lips; A liar listens eagerly to a spiteful tongue.” (Proverbs 17:4 NKJV)
Forgive people quickly of any wrongdoings and don’t bring up past mistakes to talk about again.
Doing so will cause you to lose good friends and even damage family and marriage relationships.
“He who covers a transgression seeks love, But he who repeats a matter separates friends.” (Proverbs 17:9 NKJV)
When you sense a quarrel brewing, take the high road: be the one to diffuse the tension and stop the conflict before it gets worse.
God will be happy to see you putting your ego aside and will reward you for the humility.
That will save you from lots of mental, emotional and physical damage, etc.
“The beginning of strife is like letting out water [as from a small break in a dam; first it trickles and then it gushes]; Therefore abandon the quarrel before it breaks out and tempers explode.” (PROVERBS 17:14 AMP)
As taught by Pastor Joseph Prince before: Believers are just, because they have received their righteousness from Jesus and Jesus has already paid for all their sins at the cross.
If believers condemn themselves, in God’s eyes, it is actually an abomination because they are dishonoring God’s gift of righteousness to them.
There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
“He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the just, Both of them alike are an abomination to the LORD.”
(Proverbs 17:15 NKJV)
If you are a true friend, you will love your friend at ALL times, even when they act unreasonably to you or make mistakes.
A lasting friendship is built out of such love, acceptance and understanding.
“A friend loves at all times, And a brother is born for adversity.” (Proverbs 17:17 NKJV)
A happy heart and a joyful mind act like healing medicine, without the side effects!
Rejoice in the Lord! Your healing will come speedily as you hold on to that happiness.
“A happy heart is good medicine and a joyful mind causes healing, But a broken spirit dries up the bones.”
(PROVERBS 17:22 AMP)
A truly wise person is not showy, boastful, proud, or loud.
A sign that a person has God’s wisdom is that he or she is calm, cool and collected!
“He who has knowledge restrains and is careful with his words, And a man of understanding and wisdom has a cool spirit (self-control, an even temper). Even a [callous, arrogant] fool, when he keeps silent, is considered wise; When he closes his lips he is regarded as sensible (prudent, discreet) and a man of understanding.” (PROVERBS 17:27-28 AMP)

(Day 30 of #ProverbsHesedWisdomChallenge to read a chapter from the Book of Proverbs each day which corresponds to the date as suggested by Pastor Joseph Prince in 7 Jan 2018’s Vision Sunday sermon -
http://www.miltongoh.net/miltons-blog/the-year-of-hesed-wisdom-vision-sunday-new-creation-church-theme-of-the-year-2018 ):
The ant is diligent and has initiative - it knows that it has to work consistently to prepare for the future.
It doesn’t procrastinate or wait until the last minute to prepare its provisions.
That’s the practical life wisdom we can learn from the ant.
“Go to the ant, O lazy one; Observe her ways and be wise, Which, having no chief, Overseer or ruler, She prepares her food in the summer And brings in her provisions [of food for the winter] in the harvest. How long will you lie down, O lazy one? When will you arise from your sleep [and learn self-discipline]?” (PROVERBS 6:6-9 AMP)
These 7 traits best describe the devil. The first sinful trait described is linked to the sin of pride.
That’s the sin that caused Lucifer’s fall to become the devil today.
“These six things the LORD hates; Indeed, seven are repulsive to Him: A proud look [the attitude that makes one overestimate oneself and discount others], a lying tongue, And hands that shed innocent blood, A heart that creates wicked plans, Feet that run swiftly to evil, A false witness who breathes out lies [even half-truths], And one who spreads discord (rumors) among brothers.” (PROVERBS 6:16-19 AMP)
We are to listen to the godly teachings of our parents, but not if they are worldly teachings.
“My son, be guided by your father’s [God-given] commandment (instruction) And do not reject the teaching of your mother; Bind them continually upon your heart (in your thoughts), And tie them around your neck. When you walk about, they (the godly teachings of your parents) will guide you; When you sleep, they will keep watch over you; And when you awake, they will talk to you.” (PROVERBS 6:20-22 AMP)
When the devil (the thief who comes to steal, kill and destroy) robs you of something good in your life, he has to repay 7 times the value of what was stolen from you.
God will restore you 7 times as much for your losses - believe God for that and be excited to receive it!
“People do not despise a thief if he steals To satisfy himself when he is hungry; But when he is found, he must repay seven times [what he stole]; He must give all the property of his house [if necessary to meet his fine].” (PROVERBS 6:30-31 AMP)
