For The Moment
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.
(Joshua1:9)



Jesus spoke of freedom, but he spoke of a different kind of freedom: the type of freedom that comes not through power but through submission. Not through control but through surrender. Not through possessions but through open hands.
God wants to emancipate; he wants to set them free. He wants his people to be not slaves but sons and daughters. He wants them governed not by law but by love.
We have been liberated from our own guilt and our own legalism. We have the freedom to pray and the freedom to love the God of our heart. And we have been forgiven by the only one who could condemn us.
We are truly free!

It's Time

I came across these shocking stastics not too long ago.

25% of average believers never pray.
30% never read their bibles.
40% never give to the church.
20% never attend church.

50% of church members attend special services.
60% have never given to world missions.
25% never assume a position of leadership or devote their time to serve in any area of ministry in the church.
80% have never attended a midweek service.
95% have never led one person to the Lord in their lifetime.
97% have never tithed.

In other words,only 3% of the church are faithful devoters to God and his cause.Only 3% of the entire church community know what it means to be truly devoted to God and his cause!Effectively,God's army is made up of only 3% of the entire church population!And that honestly,is a depressing statistic.

This statistics are taken from America,I don't know about Singapore,but I don't think it is much different.People if we really want to advance God's kingdom,we have to learn to pick up our crosses!If we really want to take our generation by storm for God,we have to learn to walk in God's ways!

Matthew7:22-23'Many will say to me on that day,"Lord,Lord,did we not prophesy in your name,and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?" Then I will tell them plainly,"I never knew you.Away from me,you evildoers!"'

If there ever is a time that God needs an army of mature believers,it is NOW!If not now,when?If not you,then who?

Friends many are complaining of a lack of breakthroughs in their lives,but out of all these,only a few look at their lives and realize that the problem lies with them,not with God.Friends if you want to see breakthroughs in your life,you have to make a commitment with God.Not just a promise,but a commitment.A commitment to obey and submit to the King of kings,a commitment to be Christ-led,a commitment to be devoted and love him before everything else.Unless you make that commmitment,there is a wall around your heart that prevents God from coming in and doing a greater work in you.When you make that commitment,that wall is broken and God is able to come in and lead you according to his will.God is waiting for you.He is waiting for his people to start picking up their crosses and follow him through and through so he can enlist candidates for leadership in this strategic hour.He is waiting for mature christians to arise and take position in his army.He is waiting for commited soldiers to be equipped for his limitless outpouring of the Holy Spirit.

Friends now is the time.No more waiting.The time has come for us to stand for what we believe in.Let us as one committed army advance the kingdom of God.
