If you have been following our weekly newsletter since May 2007 (from emails to our blogspot), you would have realise the title of this week's post sounds familiar.
'..being strengthened with all power according to His glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and joyfully giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light.'
Colossians 1:11-12
Why, sometimes Christians look more dead than their non-believing friends! We were called to freedom, but we seem to be in much bondage eh? Go look at yourself in the mirror. Is your face glowing?
What is your attitude when you need to face stress, problems, deadlines? Do we drag our feets? Do we take hard time trying to get ourselves outta bed? We have a hope. That is the power of God vested in each and everyone of us. What do you want for yourself? A defeated son of God? Or a victorious son of God?
Now, take a conscious effort in noticing our own attitudes when we have to do something we dislike or find it hard to do. Whether you are all hyped up or emo-ing about it, it's okay! There's always room for improvement. Tap on the power of God. Ask Him to give you that power to win over your cicumstances.
Even for our ministry, let's prepare for a fresh start in 2009. We will not look back like Lot's wife and dwell upon what we once have. We are going to look forward with the power of God, and it will be a time of life-changing experience. Rise up people of Detonate!The time has come for us to take what is ours, given by God. We don't want to be sweeped over by the raging seas nor the rolling storms. Lift up your heads!
Look forward to!:
We are heading to a brand new year in 2009! Come, join us with hearts as One. Watch what God is working in our midst!
This Week @ Detonate:
We have been very blessed by him every time he comes to share with us God's Word. Likewise this week, Pastor Glenn Lim will be here again with us to share from the heart of God to dig deeper in to God's Word:) And be inspired by how God can use him to touch your life:) Cya all at 4.30pm sharp 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 Brother Darren and Sister Jia Ling in prayers as they continue to trust God for healing for their mother. God has kept them thus far, and we wanna thank God for His faithfulness. We know God is in overall control, and He is in full knowledge of each and everyone in the entire family. Let's stand together with them in this time of trying period and be such a support to them, that they may be filled with joy and courage.
Do be effort-ful in remembering our Os and As students who are facing this immerse stressful period of examinations and studies. We know God is faithful, and He is our helper. So brace yourselves as you honour Him with your diligence, continuing to trust in Him. For He will not abandon you, nor forsake you:)
