I'm awed by the first 8 mins of the Beijing Olympics. 2008 men in perfect synergy, hitting the drums in one unison! I only knew my eyes did not leave the screen a single second during that particular item. 'Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever greivances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them together in perfect unity.' Colossians 3:12-14 I have no exact details what went on exactly for all 2008 men to deliver that item so flawlessly, but I believe it was no small deal. The trainings alone is beyond understanding of those not involved. I guess if you wanna have the exact same arrangement with just 50 people, it's already very laborous. To have each one to hit on the same beat, lifting hands at the same timing, with the same amount of strength and passion, it obviously cannot be accomplished over the night. Sacrifices to come for trainings; the frustrations during failed rehearsals when just one person play a note off the beat; the impatience of waiting for one another to achieve a certain performing standard etc. I would guess they prepared for it for a long long time. That must have gotten alot of endurance outta them! In the same way, in a Body of Christ, the same mentality applies. We can't accomplish a vision or a God-given mission if all we do is to be a duck that keeps complaining and being irritated by the things that we feel are not the best. God calls His people into perfect unity. If the church today were to be assigned by God to do a mounting task, just like the 2008 men having to perform this spectacular item, would you think we are able to? Do you think if you are one of the 2008 men, you would actually give up because at that time you could not withstand the wearisome practices or working together with the other 2007 men? Yet each one of them is so important in contributing to the opening item. Their unity and perseverance brought honour to China. Likewise, we bring honour to God when we work together. We have been chosen to be together, in this Body. Are we able to bear with one another and have patience in accepting them? Or do we forsake what God calls you in the spirit of unity and be critical of each other had done? May God be merciful to His people as we learn from Him. One Lord, One Spirit, One Baptism. Look forward to!: a personal and ministrial breakthrough. This Week @ Detonate: Dearest Pastor Daphne Lau from Calvary Assembly will be in our midst to share from God's tender heart:)) We heart her for being so faithful in ministry and dynamic in worship unto God. Come and be inspired by the Spirit through her! Cya all at 4.30pm sharp for an hour's time of intense worship and prayer as we seek God as one ministry, as one unified Detonate standing back to back with one another in this spiritual battle:)) We believe He will be here. Prayers from the Body: Do keep our O level students in prayers as they commit this entire period unto God. May they be faithful in keeping up with their revision. Persevere on people! It definitely will come to an end! Strive onwards for the goal! Do remember our NS brothers (Joshua, Yu Po, Matthew, Ziyao, Josiah) 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: relationships  |
