Malaysia the Rainbow Nation of Asia

Rainbow- a symbol of a covenant God made with us that he would not create the same flood that destroyed all of human civilisation, save a few of his faithful children in Noah and his family.

13- a lucky number among chinese, but seen as an ominous sign in other cultures. Among Malaysians, the number 13 remind us of the tragic day of May 13. Many died on that day, many were injured and lots were left homeless. And we were made to believe that it was a racial riot. That's a half truth (it being a racial riot), a lot of details were hidden from us, and we have to seek for truth. If it's a truthful account of May 13 that u seek, then read Kua Kia Soong's May 13 Declassified Documents on the Malaysian Riots of 1969.

Hello everyone,

Today's sermon title is "Malaysia the Rainbow Nation of Asia". Bible verses are from 1Peter 4:1, Genesis 8:20, Rev 12:15, Isaiah 66:6, Proverbs 11 and Jeremiah 1:10. The message revolves around factual occurences in Malaysia. An annointed message, and I could find no fault in it.

First of all, why is the title named so? Rainbow is a symbol of a covenant made between God and us, children of God. The rainbow was used use metaphorically as a symbol of Malaysians of different races living together in harmony. The 7 colours colours were important to the picture of a rainbow; if one colour predominates, the rest of the colours would be pushed into oblivion. If that were to happen, it is no longer a rainbow.

Like the rainbow, we have to perceive May 13 as a covenant. Pray to God that May 13 will never re-occur. Pray to God for a change in this nation; not necessarily a change in government, because who's to say which government works better? The trouble is, though, when an opportunity is not given to other parties in the political scene to prove themselves. We have a role to play, we hold the key to the situation in Malaysia. We have the power to vote, and we must vote wisely. And we have to pray, because God has the power to correct all forms of inequities. Injustice must not be allowed to prevail. Corruption must be tackled.

There're a lot of fine details, but I don't think it's appropriate to share them here. But we're all learned people, and the Internet provide an unlimited source of news. Malaysia needs our prayers. The general election will be held on the 8th of March. Whatever the outcome, let's pray for God's hand to be on this nation. And if u're eligible to vote, exercise your right as a citizen of Malaysia!
