As i stepped into the church building this morning i felt something different in the atmosphere...

Finally we have come to the last day of the daily prayer meetings and today is all the more special because of the word 'sacrifice'.

A sacrifice of sleep, time and finances over the past few days and with the accumulation of it came this special feeling today at the morning prayer meeting.

The spirit of prayer and faith was so tangible. The congregation just roared in the spirit. I realised something.. Prayer is fun!

I recall writing this in one of my earlier pieces last year in what an awesome privilege..

"How do we treat a service, bible study or conference? Do we see it as a common commodity or a precious privilege? How hungry are we for the Word and His presence? How much do we desire to be in the house of God?
Friends, it’s such an awesome privilege to be able to stand here on holy ground and we are so blessed that we are here in Singapore. If you have read the book entitled The Heavenly Man, you will see how the believers have to risk arrest and prosecution in China just to attend the house church! If we compare ourselves with the Chinese believers, we will see that we still have a long way to go. What do we have to worry about? School, work and family? But don’t the Chinese believers have the same concerns? Thank God we have the freedom of worship and the freedom of choice here in Singapore. But with that freedom comes the responsibility to choose wisely.
What do you see? A common commodity or a precious privilege? Let’s make this choice wisely while we’re still young before life limits our choices a few years down the road."

Friends, with one last prayer meeting to go later in the evening and a church wide pm tomorrow before service, just what do we stand for? Will you be there?
