Entering a new Destiny...

Pastor Kong shared on Sunday about having Son-ship. It has really got me thinking...

Like father like son, I started to compare myself with my Dad and see the similarities we both had. To be honest? Both of us are actually VERY similar. My Dad likes to sing, though a little bit out of tune and not at the right timing, in other words, my Dad and I love music. He plays the guitar and harmonica, I play the guitar and learning piano. LOL!

We both love service and dressing up nicely for it too. We will take the effort to dress well when needed to. Also, we have the same way of praying. We will go by a system, like putting our life before God before praying about other things. We love sports or rather, we like to have fun, played soccer until our stomach all pain, not from getting hit by the ball, but from laughing so hard because of all the funny stuns we did.

What does all this got to do with Son-ship? Likewise, our God is our Heavenly Father. What is true in the Natural is True in the Spiritual, truth is parallel. So If I am like my Dad in the Natural, shouldn't we all be like our Heavenly Father in the spiritual?
Also, we come from City Harvest Church and Pastor Kong is like a Role Model to all of us, in other words, Our spiritual mentor, which I can gladly say, he is like a Father to his church, and we are his "children". Therefore, when we go out, we know immediately who are City Harvest Members because we are somehow able to get City Harvest DNA from our very own culture in church.

Its like Singaporeans have a special language called Singlish, punctuate every sentence with a "La" or "Lo". And that defines us as Singaporeans. Its the same for City Harvest! We always clap on the 2, 4. Always, unless abit musically not so inclined then you are forgiven, but naturally we will clap on he 2, 4 beat to every song. Also, we are a church that claps alot. We will also know when to clap at the right time. Most of the time... haha...

But the point here is. We will inherit the DNA of the Church and become what the church was in the first place. We have a certain way City Harvest people will pray. We have a certain "City Harvest" style in the way we do. Sometimes I feel thats why I decided to join City Harvest because I want to adopt this way of spirituallity and not a religious relationship.

I love City Harvest atmosphere created during Jurong West. It was so City Harvest at that time. But somehow, I've begin to feel that CHC all of a sudden did not become what it used to be. It was rather saddening and I think Pastor Kong was a little sad too... Where was the church that will jump at every praise song? Where was the church that was discipline in the church service, not moving around all the time, ready to listen to the word, ready to say "Yes" when a scripture was told to turn to. All this was the City Harvest I knew off... Yet it is sad to see, that the enthusiasm to even attend cell group... was also gone. We have to motivate others to scream and yell when we wanted to, but back then it was all automatic, the fire was wearing out... Sure we are a young adult cell group but I've been to adult cellgroups who seem to be more on fire then the youths! The adult camp has already proven that to me.

I am thoroughly disappointed in City Harvest at some time. But still, we serve One God. Lets not look on the left or the right, look at yourself in your heart. Ask yourself, am I really a City Harvest Memeber... A person who follows a church has to bear the values and the habits of that church, good habits. I once learned that to attain success, we can't just sit on the sidelines, we have to PARTICIPATE. I do not know if I'm putting my point across well enough, but I really want to see the City Harvest I once knew, ever since we moved to Expo, everything's way too different. I mean, we should not stay the same, but that does not mean we lose the personality of who we are. City Harvest is just the same, after all the church is people. You make the decision, whether to join in or not, whether if you want to be a son.

A Son will always build up God's purpose for his life, because not only is he a Servant, but he wanted to be LIKE God, just like how we sometimes are Like our Father. Its the same. What is true in the Natural it is True in the Spiritual...

God Bless and Good Night people...
