Monthly Prayer: Purity

2007-11-12T15:21:00.000+08:00

Purity

What do we think of when we use the word purity? For a science student like me, I often hear the word purity. In my lesson context, it means clean, pure, without contamination.

Similarly, this is what God expects from us too! God gave us the 10 Commandments as a guideline to purity. However, who can honestly say that we have kept all the Commandments and lived according to God's standard?

For the month of November, we are going to explore the issue of purity and learn what God truly expects from us. As we participate in Engage and fast to seek God, we can also take this opportunity to be pure! We are also doing a closure for Mac E and Engage. Remember, we were made and saved by of the pure blood our Lord and it is only right live purely as He has asked us to.

As we come this Wednesday for our monthly prayer meeting 3pm at amphitheatre, can we cry out to God to provide a place for us to use?

God has graciously provided the jamming slots for the band at Moberly jamming room by SAA
Ian led the band to align why they are playing together as a band and focused back on God.
Yi Ning on her own initiative shared Christ with her classmate, Elizabeth and she received Christ! Pray for Elizabeth’s growth as a new believer!

Prayer requests
MAC E com to put God and our walk with Him as our top priority
God’s providence for the venue and the funds needed
Band to continue to set their focus on the Lord as they play and rehearse
Crusaders will actively invite friends to come (love for your friends, classmates, people you love)
Crusaders will take the initiative to be friend the new friends who comes (it is by our love that people knows that we are Jesus’ disciples!)

Thank you for laboring in prayer. The Lord is the one who battles for us and for the lost!

Verse of the day

Hi everyone! Trust that the Lord has brought you a good 1st day in school today!

Here is what some of us may have missed at Watchmen Hour today...

Main passage: Col 4:2-6 (Speaker: Jason)

There are 2 important points in this passage

1. vs 2-4

Pray unceasingly

2. vs 5-6

Be watchful

There are 3 prayer pointers in point 1;

1.pray for the labourers

2.pray for opportunities to spread the Gospel

3.pray that the message spoken is clear

There are 3 messages within point 2;

1.wisdom to utilise time

2.speak about God in a way which entices and 'spices' the interest for God in non-believers

3.wisdom to speak to everyone, able to cater to the different needs of everyone

That's all for Watchmen Hour this week! Do come for the next Watchmen Hour next Monday (1st Oct) at the DG area from 7am to 8.30am!

Let us come and be blessed by the Lord :)

"so much spending, so little mind"

2007-08-21T16:39:00.001+08:00

"so much spending, so little mind"

what's your money motto?Money is something eagerly desired, but not always well managed. In Matthew 6, Jesus told us we "cannot serve both God and money" This includes becoming a slave to spending, and to wasting our resources on things that are frivolous.A need to manage our money is often forgotten or misplaced. When there's so little left in your bank account only then there will be regrets and conviction. "I shouldn't have spent on that..." should sound familar ;) I've taken a step, to lay down a budget and cap my expenses at a limit. Like a solid wall, not going out of what I have established. I hope this passage speaks to you just as it has to me ;)A lot could happen over the next few years. It's important for you to have your finances in a healthy state. God could call you to the mission field or to study further or to help the needy. Perhaps you will start a family.Be prepared. Be ready to put your money where your mission is.

Sharing Your Life Message

By Rick Warren

“Those who believe in the Son of God have the testimony of God in them.” (1 John 5:10a GW)
“Your lives are echoing the Master’s Word .... The news of your faith in God is out. We don’t even have to say anything anymore – you’re the message!” (1 Thessalonians 1:8 MSG)
When you became a believer, you also became God’s messenger. God wants to speak to the world through you. Paul said, “We speak the truth before God, as messengers of God.” (2 Corinthians 2:17b NCV)

Your Life Message includes your life lessons. These are insights you’ve learned about God, relationships, problems, temptations, and other aspects of life. David prayed, “God, teach me lessons for living so I can stay the course.” (Psalm 119:33 MSG)

Sadly, we never learn from a lot that happens to us. Of the Israelites, the Bible says, “Over and over God rescued them, but they never learned – until finally their sins destroyed them.” (P 106:43 MSG) You’ve probably met people like that.

While it is wise to learn from experience, it is wiser to learn from the experiences of others. There isn’t enough time to learn everything in life by trial and error. We must learn from the life lessons of one another. The Bible says, “A warning given by an experienced person to someone willing to listen is more valuable than … jewelry made of the finest gold.” (Proverbs 25:12 TEV)
Write down the major life lessons you’ve learned so you can share them with others. We should be grateful Solomon did this, because it gave us the books of Proverbs and Ecclesiastes, which are filled with practical lessons on living. Imagine how much needless frustration could be avoided if we learned from each other’s life lessons.

Mature people develop the habit of extracting lessons from everyday experiences. I urge you to make a list of your life lessons. You haven’t really thought about them thoroughly unless you’ve written them down. Below are a few questions to jog your memory and get your started:

So what?

What has God taught me from failure?
What has God taught me from a lack of money?
What has God taught me from pain or sorrow or depression?
What has God taught me through waiting?
What has God taught me through illness?
What has God taught me from disappointment?
What have I learned from my family, my church, my relationships, my small group, and my critics?

Prayer Pointers for S.K.

2007-08-02T09:22:00.000+08:00

Hi everyone,

I believe the recent news about the kidnap and execution of the South Koreans in Afgan has surprised and shock many of us here. We receive and send sms prayer chains and email prayer chains to pray for the Koreans. However, what do we really need to pray for?

Firstly, the Koreans are already saved by the Holy Spirit, so we can't really pray for their salvation. Secondly, the Koreans are already safe in the Lord, so we can't really pray for their safety too, can we? Many people are praying for God to bring them home safely. Indeed, I believe they too want to go home to their families and friends. But, if they die, they will return home to the Lord.

Friends, the Lord has told us in Matthew 5: 10-12

Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven
Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.

Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

The Koreans are truly persecuted because of Jesus. But blessed are they! If they die during the time of kidnap, they will return to the Lord.

So then, what can we pray for them?

1) Pray for the Koreans to look to the Lord in their time of need.

Ps 121 says:
I lift up my eyes to the hills— where does my help come from?
My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
He will not let your foot slip— he who watches over you will not slumber;
indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
The LORD watches over you— the LORD is your shade at your right hand;
the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.
The LORD will keep you from all harm— he will watch over your life;
the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.

The Lord may be using this experience to test their faith. Will the Koreans use this experience to strengthen their faith?

2) Pray, if the Koreans do die, that something good will come out from this loss. Pray that God will do something miraculous. Pray that their deaths and suffering will not be in vain!

Deut 32: 35-36 says:

It is mine to avenge; I will repay.

In due time their foot will slip; their day of disaster is near

and their doom rushes upon them."
The LORD will judge his people

and have compassion on his servants

when he sees their strength is gone

and no one is left, slave or free.

The Lord our God is good. Never will he leave us or forsake us.

Therefore, I pray for all of you that you will be encouraged to pray for the situation in Afghan. I encourage you to be strengthened in faith in Jesus, that he will bring deliverance to the Taliban and the Afghan people. Do not be discouraged in the Lord!

Trust the Lord in all your ways!

Plz PRAY!!!!!!!!

GHAZNI, Afghanistan: Afghanistan's Taliban said more of the 21 South Korean hostages could be killed "any time" after a Wednesday deadline expired and negotiators asked for a 48-hour extension. The noon (0730 GMT) deadline was the latest in a series imposed since 23 hostages were seized two weeks ago. The militants have killed two of their captives – one late Monday after two other deadlines expired. "After the deadline passed, one or more hostages could be killed any time," Taliban spokesman Yousuf Ahmadi told AFP. He said earlier there had been no progress in the negotiations in which the rebels have demanded that some Taliban prisoners be freed from Afghan jails. One of the main negotiators, parliamentarian Mahmood Gailani, said tribal elders fronting the talks had asked for 48 more hours. "We are waiting for the answer," he said. The bullet-riddled bodies of four Afghan court officials were meanwhile found on Wednesday in Ghazni province, where they were captured by the Taliban two weeks ago – around the same time and place the Koreans were seized. "We killed them because they worked for the government," Ahmadi said. The extremists, leading an insurgency after being removed from government in 2001, are demanding the freeing of least eight Taliban prisoners in exchange for the South Koreans. Afghan authorities have rejected the demand after being condemned internationally for a similar deal in March. Talks resumed on Wednesday, and there was no progress overnight, Gailani said earlier. Religious clerics among a delegation negotiating with the militants had "asked the Taliban to stop killing hostages", he said. Negotiators also want the militants to unconditionally free 16 women in the group, two of whom a Taliban spokesman Tuesday described as gravely ill, before considering other possible demands. The murder of the second hostage was widely condemned, including by UN chief Ban Ki-moon -- a former South Korean foreign minister -- the Arab League and Al-Azhar, the premier Sunni institution of learning, which is in Egypt. Muslim-majority Malaysia and Human Rights Watch Wednesday added their calls for the 21 surviving Christians to be freed. A 42-year-old pastor, who had led the church group that was captured while returning to Kabul from an aid mission to Kandahar province – the birthplace of the Taliban – was found dead a week ago. Seoul, which has reportedly offered the Taliban a ransom that has been refused, has appealed for "flexibility" in negotiations with the Islamist group. South Korean civic groups, political parties and relatives of the hostages have called for US involvement. But a spokesman for President Hamid Karzai said authorities should not bend to the demands of "terrorists" for fear of encouraging kidnapping. "This shouldn't become an industry," Humayun Hamidzada told reporters on Tuesday. There were also fresh fears for a German engineer held since July 18, a day before the South Koreans were captured, after Al-Jazeera television broadcast late Tuesday a video that it said showed him pleading for his life. The footage was the first to show the engineer. The Taliban has said he has been ill and drifting in and out of consciousness. The video showed a man it said was the German hostage standing in a rocky clearing with several men pointing guns at him. There was no sound in the clip but the broadcaster said the captive called on Germany and the United States to pull their troops out of Afghanistan so that his life could be spared. He was captured with a German colleague, who has since died in unclear circumstances, and five Afghans, one of whom escaped.

Monthly Prayer: Praying for the Nation

2007-07-23T17:16:00.000+08:00

Date: 1st August 2007

Time: 3.15pm to 4.15pm

Venue: T11A Open Compound

Singapore is an island of success

In all her spendour, lies secrets unknown

These secrets are well kept

These secrets are oblivious to us

Among us all, this beautiful island is in danger

We call upon people who care

People who were chosen to make a difference

In God we trust

In Jesus' name we pray

For the secrets of the devil to be revealed

Haha, hope you like the poem there! Well, for the month of July, the theme for monthly prayer is Praying for the Nation!

Indeed Singapore is a blessed country. Within Asia, Singapore shines because no other Asian country is comparable to Singapore in terms of wealth, health and standard of living. But behind all these blessings, the Devil is most definitely at work.

A minority of Singaporeans are faced with the work of the Devil! It may not have happened to you or your family, but perphaps your friends, your classmates, your neighbour, or even the lady selling noodles at the hawker centre near your home! The truth is, the social health and spiritual health of many Singaporeans are at stake here.

Did you know that crime rate has increased from 614 cases in 2001 to 843 in 2005?
Did you know that abortion rate remains at 24% for the past 5 years?
Did you know that unemployment rate has increased from 97500 in 1995 to 100500 in 2005?

All these are just some of the problems faced by many Singaporeans. The most recent of social problems is the issue of homosexuality. Should we be more tolerant or more open to homosexuality? NO! As God has commanded for us not to fall into sexual sin, we should not be tolerant to homosexuality.

We, not just as citizens (or residents) of Singapore, are also children of God. We have a commitment to Singapore but more importantly to God. We can only serve one master, God or Singapore. I choose to serve God, how about you?

To all who have decided to choose to serve God, let us pray vigilantly for the people of Singapore.

1. Let us pray against the work of the Devil in Singapore. Pray against the destruction the Devil has caused.

2. Let us pray for our leaders to make right decisions, make God-driven decisions for the nation.

3. Let us pray for a voice for the Christians in politics. Let our concerns be heard in the Parliment and the government to listen to our cries.

4. Let us pray for the non-Christians in Singapore. Pray for openness of the heart to receive Jesus as their saviour and deliver.

Father in heaven, I choose to serve you and not the nation for I can only serve one Master. Lord I pray for the nation. As difficulties and strife linger among many Singaporeans, Lord I pray you will set them free of these problems. I also pray against the Devil, who is destroying the spirits of your people. I rebuke the Devil in the name of Jesus and I pray for blessing for your people. Lord, in all things I trust you. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.

Monthly Prayer: Watchmen on the Wall

Monthly Prayer: Watchmen on the Wall

Venue: T11A Open Compound

Date: 4th july 2007

Time: 3.15pm - 4.15pm

Speaker: Louis

You may be wondering why the American flag is put up on this post. Well, this is because the Monthly Prayer for July happens to fall on Independence Day, 4th of July!!!

The date was 4th July, 1977. The Americans and the Brits had been fighting the American Revolutionary War for a few years now. Then, Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania presented the Declaration of Independence to the British Government. During the signing, Benjamin must had been terrified that the Brits would not agree to the Declaration. He said out loud, "We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately". These famous words showed his faith in believing the freedom of America. "If America cannot attain freedom from Britain, then I would die trying to free her."

To his relieve, the Brits signed the Declaration of Independence. America was finally free! Oh how the Americans rejoiced and celebrated their freedom. To this day, America continues to celebrate this memorial event that brought freedom and peace to their land.

Like the Americans, we too must celebrate the freedom that the Lord our God gave us so many years ago upon the cross. We thank Jesus daily for making that ultimate sacrifice at the cross and setting his people free. Benjamin Franklin was like Jesus in a way, that he believed and had faith in his people and wanting to set his people free from the bondage of Britain. Jesus set us free from the bondage of Satan.

We can thank our Lord all we want, but we can never thank him enough. A better way the Lord wants us to thank Him is by praying for the lost. The truth is there are still people who do not know they are free from the bondage with Satan until they recognise the freedom that God so graciously gave them.

Thus, the theme for Monthly Prayer for the month of July is Watchmen on the Wall. We are told in the Bible to keep watch. Keep watch for the coming of the Lord, keep watch for the attack of Satan is silent, and keep watch for those who are still lost.

The Prayer Committee urges you to come and become Watchmen on the Wall. Let us be the Benjamin Franklin to the lost, guiding them towards freedom!!

Theme: Lost and Found

People need the Lord

2007-05-22T18:13:00.001+08:00

Everyday they pass me by,
I can see it in their eye;
Empty people filled with care,
Headed who knows where.
On they go through private pain,
Living fear to fear;
Laughter hides the silent criesOnly Jesus hears.

We are called to take His light,
To a world where wrong is right;
What could be too great a cost
For sharing life with one who's lost?
Through His love our hearts can feel
All the grief they bear;
They must hear the Words of Life
Only we can share.

People need the Lord,
People need the Lord;
At the end of broken dreams,
He's the open door.
People need the Lord,
People need the Lord;
When will we realize
People need the Lord.

Root of SIN!!!!

2007-05-18T18:48:00.000+08:00

Prayerlessness is a root sin. To reverse this disastrous trend we need to give attention to the Word of God, study the Scriptures, pray the Psalms, turn from our sins, and seek the Lord.
