Praying & Fasting

Praying & Fasting.

As we approach a week of Prayer Meetings, it is always good that we make praying a lifestyle. When we pray, tremendous things begin to happen and immense power is released through prayer and fast. I recently re-read an article which Pastor Phil wrote on how we sharpen our ability in life and in God through fasting and prayer. It is inevitable in today’s context to have absolute no control over things in our life but there’s one thing we have certainty in; prayer defeats temptations and obstacles in our life.
I’ve posted this article in this entry because I know you’ll be mightily blessed through it!

And for those of you who are still deliberating whether you should attend the Prayer meeting, let me help you by telling you who needs to attend it. (An abstract taken from Pastor Phil’s journal)

How do you know if you need to attend the prayer meeting?

If your family hasn't all yet come to Christ. You need to be at the Prayer meeting
If all your friends haven't yet come to Christ. You need to be at the Prayer meeting
If you're not coping with pressure well. You need to be at the Prayer meeting
If your marriage is a little bumpy. You need to be at the Prayer meeting

If your children are not living like they should. You need to be at the Prayer meeting
If your parents are having difficulties. You need to be at the Prayer meeting
If your relationships aren't working well. You need to be at the Prayer meeting
If you feel emotionally stretched. You need to be at the Prayer meeting

If you're anxious about a situation. You need to be at the Prayer meeting
If your friends are backsliding. You need to be at the Prayer meeting
If your own fire for God has cooled. You need to be at the Prayer meeting
If you're not in love with the Bible and God like you used to be. You need to be at the Prayer meeting

If the devil is obviously and easily attacking you. You need to be at the Prayer meeting
If God seems afar off. You need to be at the Prayer meeting
If your gifts and calling are not functioning like they used to or like they could be. You need to be at the Prayer meeting

If you're about to start a new venture. You need to be at the Prayer meeting
If you're about to make a big decision. You need to be at the Prayer meeting
If you're about to finish something or change something. You need to be at the Prayer meeting If you think there is things the Church needs you need to be at the Prayer meeting.
If you think people in our church could be more blessed. You need to be at the Prayer meeting

I strongly encourage every one of us to make it for the Prayer meetings. If it’s a struggle to haul yourself out of bed in the morning, there’s always the evening Prayer meeting you can attend at Riverwalk and Jurong West. As we are going through different phases of life, all the more we should lift our lives to God and allow the Holy Spirit to move within us.

Here’s the long awaited article!

Lessons of life...

2009-03-24T00:38:00.006+08:00

I was reading an email that my friend have sent me.. I thought that it was quite meaningful for us to stop and think about it.. =)

"Don't let someone become a priority in your life, when you are just an option in their life... Relationships work best when they are balanced."

"Never explain yourself to any one. Because the person who likes you doesn't need it, and the person who dislikes you won't believe it."

"When you keep saying you are busy, then you are never free. When you keep saying you have no time, then you will never have time. When you keep saying that you will do it tomorrow, then your tomorrow will never come."

"When we wake up in the morning, we have two simple choices. Go back to sleep and dream, or wake up and chase those dreams. Choice is yours..."

"We make them cry who care for us. We cry for those who never care for us. And we care for those who will never cry for us. This is the truth of life. It's strange, but true. Once you realize this, its never too late to change."

"Don't make promise when you are in joy. Don't reply when you are sad. Don't take make decision when you are angry. Think twice... Act Wise."

"Time is like a river. You cannot touch the same water twice, because the flow that has passed will never pass again. Enjoy every moment of life..."

"First i was dying to finish my high school and start college.
And then i was dying to finish college and start working.
Then i was dying to marry and have children.
And then i was dying for my children to grow old enough so i could go back to work.
But then i was dying to retire.
And now i'm dying.
And suddenly i realized i forgot to live.

Please don't let this happen to you. Appreciate your current situation and enjoy each day."
