Many a times we realise that we fail to pray for our government leaders i.e. our prime minister whose health is rapidly deteoriating. And we complain about our situation, why we have to study Chinese why we have to do this and that. Why MOE forces us to do stupid NE quizzes and all. But let us not forget that God has elected authority above us and he has handpicked each and every leader especially in our country to be in charge. Let's commit Singapore, her leaders, her future and her people in prayer. Pray about the things that may seem bad to you, the bad environment, the deteoriating moral values or just anything, anything that God may have revealed to you or maybe something that has been on your heart. There is much to change and improve in Singapore, and one way to do that is prayer. So let's commit Singapore in prayer today.
As for our churches, we realise that the leaders are under a lot of stress. There have been times where we have become down and dejected and many times we have had the church leaders stand behind us and support us. In the same way, let us support them in prayer in everything. Instead of criticising the sermons and actually looking at everything in a negative sense, let us just look at them as human, tools for God that need mantainence as well. Pray for them, Pray for the pastors, Pray for the Admin Workers, Pray for the Caretakers, Pray for the cleaners, Pray for the guy who opens the door for you to go to church or keeps watch. Pray and uplift them and everything'll be alright for them and us likewise in the church.
Finally, though the theme for today is country and churches, Don't forget the school ministries. Although they may not really play the role of a church in your life, commit the Christian Fellowship, commit FireAC into God's hands. Pray for the leaders, pray for them to walk close and follow God's will. Pray also for yourselves if God is calling you to lead in these ministries. Like many churches, the school ministries were founded on prayer, so let us continue in prayer for these school ministries, knowing well that God will carry us through.
The school ministries would be largely involved in the coming Religious Emphasis Week where the gospel is shared openly to the whole school, please do keep that in prayer as well. More details can be found from any FireAC leader.
I guess that's all for today. Thank you all for praying.
Your Humble Servant,
Caleb
an interesting hymn that is parallel to today's theme
