As we conclude this quarter of the year on the theme of excellence, there is this fundamental question we need to ask ourselves; "Have we excelled?' After all the sermons on excellence, video series on excellence and of course the intense sharing on excellence by Pastor Chris Long in our detonate camp, I believe we have learnt the importance of excellence in our lives but have we put in effort to excel? If we haven't, its time to start. Endure hardship with us like a good soldier of Christ Jesus. No one serving as a soldier gets involved in civilian affairs—he wants to please his commanding officer. Similarly, if anyone competes as an athlete, he does not receive the victor's crown unless he competes according to the rules. The hardworking farmer should be the first to receive a share of the crops. 2 Timothy 2:4-7 Yesterday in cell group, we learnt how we are called to persevere. No matter where we are or what we are doing, we can persevere and excel for God. Just like the solider, the athlete and the farmer mentioned in the above verses, there are certain things we must achieve and strive towards. Taking the soldier as an example, there are so many virtues such as loyalty, discipline, armor preparation and many others that a soldier must posses in order to be a successful one who contributes to his country. So no matter where we are, lets do our best in every area and be a successful soldier for Christ. Just a recap of some areas most of us can excel in from these 3 months : Our own spiritual walk with God Our ministry Our studies Our family relations Our friends relations Our character Even as we moved on to the next quarter of the year with the theme on relationships, let not forget that God have called us to excel. Let us be that little spark in our schools and work place that can ignite into a flame for God through the excellence we show in our lives. Look forward to!: a spiritual breakthrough. This Week @ Detonate: We are continuing DG this week to follow up on one of the quality of the Fruit of the Spirit which we have done two weeks ago:) do remember to read through the notes that your teachers have painstakingly prepared for you! It's back to school! Yes to all our secondary, JC and poly students, that God will give you a new beginning:) Whatever failures, successes and stress you had faced last term, may God renew you and restore you to do your best for Him! Do remember our NS brothers (Yu Po and Matthew) who are undergoing their basic training. May the presence of God oversee and protect them as they go through the various trainings. Pray also that they will stand strong on God's promises for them and be a living testimony that draws men to Jesus! Strive on brothers! Labels: excellence  |
