DIMAPUR, APRIL 16 (MExN): Senior Pastor, Queenstown Baptist Church, Singapore, Rev. Dr. Richard Loh on April 13 urged upon theologians and spiritual leaders to surrender their will to the will of God for meaningful service in His ministry.
He pointed out that believers often make the mistake of first making their plans and then asking God to endorse it. He implied that believers should first ask God what His plan was for them and not the other way round.
Delivering graduating address at Trinity Theological College, Thahekhu during its 11th Graduation Service, Rev. Dr. Loh drew reference from the Bible - Joshua 3:1-7 as the base of his sermon. He told the graduating students that their graduation phase was like the Israelites crossing over river Jordan. He said that the students were beginning a new journey and urged them to make spiritual preparation for working in God’s ministry with a renewed commitment.
The preacher urged them to let God lead them in their decision makings and also stressed on the need to know their role wherever God puts them and to be contented with it.
Stating that it was easy to embark on a ministry but difficult to walk that path sincerely, Rev. Dr. Loh spoke about the need to get time of solitude with God and to be consecrated regularly as one chooses to work for the expansion of His kingdom.
He said that the desire to serve the Lord comes with greater opposition from evil and encouraged the students to keep faith in God and to have a God’s given perspective.
Altogether, 57 students graduated in Diploma in Bachelor of Divinity. During the programme, the college gave away various proficiency awards to the students. Principal and Academic Dean of the college gave away the Diploma award to the students. Director, Sumi Baptist Convention, Rev. Dr. Khehovi Shohe released the college magazine while Executive Secretary, SBAK Rev. S. Yevito Sumi performed the act of dedication for the graduating class.
