Core Team Meet Pointers 4th July 2007
For the benefit of those who are unable to make it for coreteam meet.. The sharing will be discussed and summarize in the form of pointers in the rest of the post. A new topic will be included in the post too... Therefore for those who have turn up for the meeting, take this time to learn more about the second "I" of the meeting..
INTERCESSION & INVOLVEMENT
(The 2 "I"s of global church mission statements)
1. Intercession
- Meaning: Intercession means praying for somebody; intercessing for somebody. Not just prayer, but specifically in the scope of praying for people you know, for situations, for the church, for missioners, for church planters, for family members, for friends, etc.
Food for thought (keep these question in mind as we run through the topic):
- do you pray for every member in your caregroup everytime in your prayer to God?
- do you have somebody in mind to pray daily?
- do you know what you can pray for them (refering to your caregroup members, etc)?
Mainly during my time spent with the Thai sisters that have come to visit Hope of Singapore.. I've capture particularly the spirit of prayer from one of the sister named Puum. This spirit of prayer comes seperately in three important factors:
- pray and believe God will answer (Faith factor): have that child-like faith believing that God will answer your prayer. Without faith, it is impossible to please God. How then can you expect Him to answer you? In the beginning.. It is us who choose not to believe that he will answer.. Then that prayer will not be a prayer anymore. It is simply something we're babbling to God. A prayer without faith is not a prayer.
- Always pray for everything in your life (Consistent factor): Do not only pray when bad times and tough times fall upon you. Pray even when everything seems to be going on smoothly.. And sometimes, after a powerful preaching we'll have a strong desire to pray and seek the Lord.. Not let that desire fall down, but continue it, consistently. Do not allow yourself to slacken off in praying to God. Even if God have not yet answer you. Because He ultimately will.
- Don't stop praying when God don't answer (P.U.S.H factor): Or rather, the perseverance factor. P.U.S.H means pray until something happens. God have 3 ways of answering you: YES, NO and WAIT. If God meant to tell you, wait for my answer.. It is not yet my timing.. Then continue to pray to God till the timing arrives! You will not want to miss the timing of God and regret by then why have you not persevere in praying.. Many times, people give up and realise the point to fulfiling what they want to do is usually at the point they give up.
2. Involvement
- Activity: (as you read this, think about it and write it down.) rate yourself by thinking about 3 giftings/talents/strengths that you possess and think of 1 area you can serve in strongly.
Food for thought: Ask yourself are you involve in a specific role or area currently and you'tr clear about what you can do in it? (e.g. coreteam member, shepherd, etc) Why did you get involve? What's the reason for your involvement? (For God specifically His church?)
COMMIT AND CONTRIBUTE TO GOD'S COMMUNITY AND HIS CHURCH!
Desire to do something for Him.
- Do the spiritual test (get from Jorris) if you haven't or have forgotten the results to confirm your giftings. Best to do it with your shepherd, if not you can do it with Jorris! =) Through this, you can briefly know clearly what are your giftings and strengths, in which knowing clearly what you can do.
Involvement comes from a heart that runs after God, and it comes with a joy that flows out of God. To you.
