Last weekend, it was great to have Ps. back from the Europe Conference and he preached a sermon about Servanthood.
This is one of the main themes for CHC in 2008, and all of us are looking to grow in this area in the coming months.
The theme also tied in nicely with our early morning prayer. For these 2 weeks, the church is waking up early to pray from 7am - 8am at Jurong West and at Heart of God church in Paya Lebar.
Today is day 3 and I am tired....
I was telling my mass class that to be at Paya Lebar at 7am, I have to wake up at 6am. - I have not woken up at 6am since Secondary School - talk about crucifying my flesh.
But the prayer meetings have been good!!!
And I am looking forward to the next one tomorrow, as I know that keeping myself disciplined is one of the keys to success!
Furthermore, according to the Sermon on Sunday:
- Servanthood is Willing (Serving is an issue of the heart where surrender is needed)
- Servanthood excels
- Servanthood is swift
- Servanthood is never convenient
- Servanthood is honoring
- Servanthood is work
- Servanthood is caring for people (Hey! Even Barak Obama practices this) .
INCONVENIENCE (Point 4) is something we are discovering this week!
I am so glad that so many people are coming to the prayer meetings, that we have been having a packed hall in both Paya Lebar and Jurong. (Approximately. 4000 people have been gathering to pray)
Yesterday, we introduced another pray center at Church of Singapore in Marine Parade.
If you are thinking about joining us, come down this week! You won't be alone and best of all - YOU WON'T REGRET IT!

Yes! The morning prayer is really good!! I remember i dun even wake up at 5am+ to go to school! It's really a time of crucifying the flesh! But indeed every morning was awesome! It really kick start the day very well and it seem that there are much more time to do more things! Many of us were saying that this morning prayer meeting should continue after next week and become a norm for our church. (=
After ET zone cgm at Riverwalk on Thursday night. Just wanna to say, bro Edumund, thanks for sharing and keep on keeping on encouraging us to go for the 7am morning prayer.
We made a decision and we went to Jurong West early morning prayer meeting today. Is was awesome!!
Is indeed not easy to wake up early as early as 6am in the morning, but if you are willing, you will have the energy to do it :)
