In Part 4 of The Emblems of the Holy Spirit series, Pastor Kong Hee shares how oil is a picture of the Holy Spirit. Just as we need oil in every part of our lives—our wounds, our homes, our faith, our minds, and our offerings—we need the anointing of the Holy Spirit flowing in and through us.

When there is no certainty in life, we can surely trust God’s process. Despite uncomfortable circumstances, God has already made everything beautiful in its time. In fact, He is shaping us through those trials to build character in us, and to prepare us for His purposes. So let us we persevere in faith, fix our eyes on eternity, and learn to recognise God’s presence in every season of life!

In Part 3 of The Emblems of the Holy Spirit series, Pastor Kong Hee shares how the Spirit is like breath and atmosphere. As our spiritual oxygen, the more we breathe Him in, the more fully alive we become. Like the air around us, the Holy Spirit is the divine atmosphere in which we live, breathe, and flourish.

As believers in today’s world, we are to contend for the miracles of God, because He is still a miracle-working God! While praying and expecting miracles may be a risky endeavour that could bring disappointment and inner tension, faith requires pressing in—despite setbacks. Just like the Canaanite woman, let us be encouraged to persist in prayer and faith, trusting in God’s compassion and power to heal, deliver, and provide!

A fulfilling Christian life requires a process of change, and an intentional renewing of the mind and attitude—it is a lifestyle of becoming more like Jesus. We are called to renew our minds to live as God intends, using every endeavour to win battles, overcome pain, and move on to abundant life. As we set our minds on the Spirit and see life from God’s perspective, we are transformed rather than conformed, walking in the Spirit and aligned with His will.

In Part 2 of The Emblems of the Holy Spirit series, Pastor Kong Hee explores the symbols of Water, Rain, Dew, and the River. The Holy Spirit is living water for the thirsty, rain that pours out God’s love and favour, dew that gently refreshes in stillness, and a river that empowers us to bring life and healing to the world.

The fire of God transforms us into true disciples—known not just by name, but by lifestyle. As disciples, we are called to walk not just in the Spirit’s power, but also in the peace of God. Peace is not found not in circumstances but in Jesus Himself, and it is what sustains us through trials and challenges in life. So let us walk daily in the gospel—His Word—bearing fruit and bringing His peace wherever we go.

In this new series on The Emblems of the Holy Spirit, Pastor Kong Hee introduces the first emblem: the Dove. In the Bible, the dove symbolises the beauty of the Holy Spirit’s character—He is gentle, loving, and pure.

When you walk through dark days, remember that the Holy Spirit is always with you. Pastor Bobby Chaw reminds us that discerning His voice is vital in these times. To do so, we must give attention to three key areas: the Word of God, a life of prayer, and the gifts of the Spirit.

In Matthew 18:1-3, Jesus calls us to become like children. Childlikeness—not childishness—is spiritual maturity that involves humility, dependence, and faith. It is having trust in God’s provision and His affection. As children of God, may we remain fully reliant on our perfect Heavenly Father—trusting not just in what He gives, but resting in who He is.
