It was the quarterly Half Night Prayer Meeting. Just got back a moment ago. I am feeling physically exhausted owing to my busy schedule of the whole day in campus yet i am currently spiritually refreshed after attending the prayer meeting! It's refreshing! Both sections were indeed moving.
In the first section, Pastor shared about
consistency and
accountability.
We should treat the Bible as the love letter from Jesus. And when knowing that its the love letter, we will certainly read it daily. Yes. Consistency in reading and studying the bible.
When it comes to accountability, we should also know that church leaders are God's appointed spiritual authorities and overseers over us. Therefore, we should not let our leaders' work be a burden but be a joy. Submit. That's only a small part of accountability.
In the second section, Pastor Denis shared from the book of Matthew 12:25-28.
a)
Unity
-Unity is God's principle. And through unity, the people of God will receive blessings.
-Unity is not united through uniformity.
b)
Spirit of God
-The spirit of God will help us to fight against the evil spirit.
c)
Tie the devil-As the children of Light, we should not let the devil take a foothold in our decisions and lives, hence we should get a rope and tie the devils up in order to not let them influence our mind.
-Thus, the sword of truth is not any sharp knife or hard wood stick but only the
Word of God. Not any sharp knife or hard wood stick.

When i reckon upon the previous phrase, i think that it's so true that if we are not mindful of keeping prayer as part of our daily habit, we have definitely missed out God's divine power through prayer.
I have entered into the guy's washroom for years and years and i have reading this paper that sticks on the door everytime. And just now i purposely took a snapshot of it.
And it shows:
How true it is.
"The renewal of the church will depend on the renewal of OUR prayer life". Say to yourself again, OUR. Let's really buck up and pray more daily.
Good night and God bless.
