DAILY REFLECTION

“Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.”
1 Peter‬ ‭4‬:‭10‬ ‭

Every believer has been entrusted with spiritual gifts, divine abilities, and sacred resources from God - not for personal gain, but to serve the body of Christ and extend His grace to a world in need.

Joanna Ng, a Christian technologist and former IBM Master Inventor, embodies this calling with remarkable clarity. As founder of Kingdom on Earth (KOE), her ministry exists to sharpen and strengthen like-minded believers, equipping them to make a lasting impact for the Kingdom of God. Joanna sees her work not merely as a career, but as worship.

Her conviction is bold and refreshing: that mankind embodying God’s divine wisdom is far more compelling than artificial intelligence mimicking human intellect. Through KOE, she empowers individuals to become “kingdom-impactful priests” in their spheres of influence - whether in tech, education, business, or beyond.

Her journey reminds us that when we steward our God-given gifts with purpose and passion, we become vessels of truth and righteousness - bringing heaven to earth, one faithful step at a time.

1 Peter 4:10 calls every believer to reflect deeply on how they are stewarding the time, talents, and resources entrusted to them by God. It emphasises that we are to use our gifts to build up the body of Christ and extend His grace to the world. He doesn’t want us to waste what He’s given, neglect it out of fear or distraction, or misuse it for selfish gain. Instead, He invites us to live purposefully, faithfully, and generously - becoming vessels of His goodness in every space we occupy.
