Great is Thy faithfulness!
Great is Thy faithfulness!
My Church celebrates its 77th anniversary today, and instead "Great is Thy faithfulness" resound loud and clear!
I know there are many churches who are older than my church, but still these past 77 years was truly a gift and opportunity given by the Lord to my church to stand as a witness and testimony for Him.
With my limited knowledge from the time I attended this church till now, I've truly seen the hand of God at hand - both within and without.
In the year 1996, we relocated to the school for our Sunday services while the church was being rebuilt, in part to give way to the MRT line/flyer that would cut through part of the land the church owned. During the time when the church leadership negotiated with the government, God's hand was there with us and He blessed us with reasonable "compensation" from the government for the land they acquired from us. Even during a time when finances were tight, pledges streamed in and when we dedicated our new church building 2 years or so later, all the loans were paid for and we were debt free!
God has already blessed my church with very good pastors - those who preached well ... those who shepherd well ... those who counseled well ... those who just have the heart for Him and His people - servants who are truly after His very own heartbeat.
It was also the vision and passion of the pastors that the church began to be more outward looking, inward of being just so occupied and full of ourselves. We began outreach programs - to the residents in our neighbourhood, as well as blessing the nations with finances and personnel whose heart beat with the Lord's in His concern for the lost.
I guess if I want to continue to write on, there will be more, but 77 years isn't a short time, although it's not considered a long one too. But one lesson rings loud and clear is the faithfulness and testimony of God's love and faithfulness. Have you experienced this faithfulness of my God? I pray that you will ...
