Happy New Year to all! I am really excited about 2009 as I believe that it is a new start for many of us. Through the dynamic worship that we had the past two weeks, I believe we are in for a breakthrough if we continue to press on together. Detonate ministry will be different this year and indeed we want to detonate for God this year. Pastor shared a simple message on Saturday which I think is important for all of us to know and put into practice in the new year.
Accept responsibility in your life Some may think that we are still young why talk about responsibility. Like it or not, young and old, we all have responsibilities no matter where we are. Able to accept responsibilities for our lives help us to grow not only physically but also spiritually and emotionally as well. However, responsibilities like studying hard, honour our parents, be a good testimony are things we can handle and if we do it well, we will impact lives.
Believe I can change I can versus I can't. We often gives ourselves excuses like "I'm like that one la." God said very clearly in 2 Cor 5:7 that the old must go before the new can come. Do not let our pass habits hinder us from growing. Believe that we can change. Perhaps God is waiting for us to change before He reveal His next step for us.
Clarify want you want Set goals for yourself that you want to achieve in 2009. Like want Pastor said, don't take the thinking of whatever will be will be. If we never set detailed goals, we will never meet them. Take some time to pray and write down some goals(may be just one or two) you want to achieve for God this year. Together as a ministry, we want to accomplish these goals together.
Do it now! Start now or you will never start. Don't procrastinate anymore. Start the year fired up and give your all to Jesus. He will honour you.
Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity. 1 Timothy 4:12
Honour God Impact Community Transform Lives
Look forward to!:

Prayers from the Body:
A request from Sister Ruth that we keep her father in prayers for good health as there might be a possiblity of complications arising. Let's pray that God's love will touch her father once again and may faith arise from the entire family to trust God and His faithfulness.
Brother Samuel has an urgent prayer request to pray for journey mercies as he makes his way back to his base in France. Currently he is unable to travel back due to snow and ice obstructing traffic flow. Let's pray for God to grant him favour and watch over him and his friends as they make their way back to base.
