As I'm (Brother Bernard) moving my bag, cell phone, wallet and books from my room to the living room, my home phone suddenly rang. I hurriedly put my things down and rush to pick up the phone. "Hello," I said. No reply. I said hello again but still hear no respond. I can hear the rustling sound from the phone but no one speaks. I started to get impatient and said, "If you are not going to talk I'm going to hang up the phone." Still no response. In anger, I slammed the phone and hang it up. I went back to the living room to get my stuff and as i pick up my cell phone, I realised that I had accidentally speed-dialed my home phone number! I laughed at myself, but then wondered: How often are my prayers more like calling myself than calling on God? In our daily quiet time with God everyday, do we find ourselves praying only for our own needs and wants? I find this a struggle for myself too. It is not wrong to come to God with our needs as God promised that He will bless us. But prayer is more than asking God for things. It is a constant communication with God. It's about asking God what He wants and how we as children can grow and be more like Him. It is a COMMUNION. "My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me." John 10:27 It is good to set aside prayer time everyday but prayer should be constant habit in our lives. Let's not just come to God when we are in trouble or when we need Him for something. It is not enough to pray once every night or at most 3 times; before our meals to give thanks for the food. Make every moment a prayer to God. By doing that, I believe we will be a better Christian and make it as our mission that our friends do know at least one person who truly follow Jesus. Be a prayer warrior for God, starting today. The purpose of prayer is not to get what we want, but to become what God wants. This week @ Detonate: Whoa! Before the festive mood sets in, let's not give up meeting with one another this Saturday! Pastor Jean Peters is invited here with us to deliver the word of God and let's welcome God in to our midst with a wild Detonate cheer and our punctuality (be in church by 4.45pm!). Prayers from the Body: Let's make a point to pray for Detonate for every Saturday's service! We do not rely on men nor their strength, but the precious linger of the Holy Spirit, which we should not take for granted. So pray, for the presence of God to be with us, the worship team, and the speaker:) If you do have any prayer request that you would like Detonate to uphold you in, please let Esther Tan or any DG leaders know because we care for you:)  |
