Hi Guys and Gals,
If you did not attend service and cell last week, you probably do not understand Jefferson's previous entry. Let me briefly explain...
What Is This?
A FCBC corporate call to prayer for our church to see breakthroughs, multiplication and souls winning for TGIF.
40 Days of 24 hrs round the clock “house of prayer” anchored by different pastors. This house of prayer goes on during services, G12 conference etc.
“House of Prayer” is at TC Chapel every day. However, for Sundays (6am to 6pm only) and G12 Conference, it will be at Expo “Play Room” in Hall 7 and Hall 9 from 7 March onwards.
Starts on 20 Feb 2010 and ends on 1 Apr 2010.
How will YouthNet Do It?
For this 40 Days of Prayer & Fasting, YouthNet is re-org into 7 prayer clusters. Pastor Debra and Ps Zhou Qi will be taking one of the cluster.
Every week there will be “prime slots” from 6pm to 12mn where the above clusters will take turns to anchor and their leaders and members are encouraged to be there(otherwise our poor pastors will be there alone...boohoo...)
All YouthNet cell leaders and their members will be challenged to pray in other 2 hours slots spread throughout the week – 12mn to 6am, 6am to 12nn, 12nn to 6pm (i.e. more “challenging” slots in terms of timings).
Refer to schedule below, for our prayer slots.
DT and ZQ anchoring slots:
25 Feb (Thur) 6am-12noon
3 Mar (Wed) 12noon-6pm
8 Mar (Mon) 6pm-12midnite (CONGREGATION PRAYER MTG- our pastors have requested both our cells to be there! Aren't you excited? Lol...)
15 Mar (Mon) 12midnite-6am
21 Mar (Sun) 6am-12noon (We are invited to go for the 6-8am slots too!! *Whoohaahaa)
Last Sunday, SP has preached on the 40 day prayer & fasting (praying for FCBC & TGIF, prayer prompters will be out later). After coming back from Bogota, he catches on something and he wants to get the church into. Like "Living Life" (the devotion book that we are recommended to read), it kind of puts us all on track in our walk with the Lord in QT (Quiet Time). So now, it’s prayer that we need to get back on track. And in the year of multiplication, i guess ‘no intimacy, no fruit’. So, it must be a necessary journey for us in our walk with the Lord.
Now, unlike the past 24 hr prayer chains (if you have participated before), this 24 hr prayer is done ON-SITE @TC CHAPEL for all slots (except the SUN service slots, it’s done in EXPO 6am to 6pm). (Haha, we will keep each other awake rather than the personal prayer!!!) Let’s take it as an offering of time to the Lord and as busy Singaporeans, this is good for our souls.
Last Sunday, during the Youthnet Congre Meeting, Pastor Eugene talked about "The Victory Before The Battle". Just to recap, the two points are:
CIRCUMCISION - Establish Your Faithfulness
CELEBRATION - Empower Your Faith
Exodus 17:11a says this, "As long as Moses held up his hands, the Israelites were winning, but whenever he lowered his hands, the Amalekites were winning."
As a Body of Christ (not just as a cell group), as FCBCian, we need to stand together, to answer the corporate call of this church. We should:
See a Picture Of Victory - (through) PERSISTENT PRAYER
Stand in a Posture of Victory - (stay as a )COMMITTED COMMUNITY
Stay at a Place of Victory - FIGHT!
2 Chronicles 7:14 says this,
"if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land."
Last but not least, I want to share with you this song... "What If His People Prayed?" by Casting Crowns. I hope that the lyrics will more or less inspire you to pray, and pray more.. I've included the lyrics below, for your reference.
Army of God, let's rise up together and pray together! =)
P.S: Do try your very best to be there to support the pastors during our prayer slots.
What if the armies of the Lord
Picked up and dusted off their swords
Vowed to set the captives free
And not let satan have one more
What if the church, for heaven's sake
Finally stepped up to the plate
Took a stand upon God's promise
And stormed hell's rusty gates
Chorus:
What if His people prayed
And those who bear His name
Would humbly seek His face Yeah
And Turn from their own way
And what would happen if we prayed
For those raised up to lead the way
Then maybe kids in school could pray
And unborn children see light of day
What if the life that we pursue
Came from a hunger for the truth
What if the family turned to Jesus
Stopped asking Oprah what to do
What if His people prayed
And those who bear His name
Would humbly seek His face Yeah
And Turn from their own way
He said that they would hear
His promise has been made
He'll answer loud and clear
If only we would pray
If My people called by My name
If they'll humble themselves and pray
If My people called by My name
If they'll humble themselves and pray
