City Harvest Church KL Blog

Dear Church,

Greetings in the powerful name of Jesus!

First and foremost, I would like to warmly welcome Ps. Derek and his family into our church. This is the first time Ps. Derek is here at our church, therefore I want to ask all of you to come prepared and expectant to draw from the man of God. Besides, I also want all of you to make Ps. Derek and his family feel as welcomed as possible. This is our City Harvest heritage and we ought to do well in it. On top of that, we are also having the crew from Singapore’s O School with us! Woo hoo! They are going to do a workshop on Sunday afternoon. At the moment, there are already more than 100 people signed up! I believe it is going to blow all of our minds away! What a great weekend indeed! This is just one of the indications that 2010 is going to be our best year yet! So church, do come ready to receive and participate.

As this is the second weekend of the year, I would like to find out whether you have made your New Year resolutions. If you have yet to do so, I want to encourage you to do it as soon as possible. This is an important exercise because it helps us to focus and concentrate our energy. I am sure none of us want to aim for nothing and achieve anything. And if you have done so, I want to give you some pointers to help you stay focused. Firstly, we need to have goals that will stretch our imaginations. However, it should not be beyond our reach. Otherwise, it will discourage instead of motivate us. Secondly, we need to develop the habit of reviewing our goals on a regular basis - once a month is a good practice. That way, we will not stray away from our initial target. Having said all this, we need to realize that goals are set to help us stay focused. If we have achieved them earlier than expected, we can always add to it or increase the size of our dreams. Goals only serve as a guideline for us. But please do not reduce your target especially when the going gets tough. That is when we need to have the strength to keep going and the faith to keep believing.

Which is better… a big fish in a small pond or a small fish in a big pond? Think about it…

Have an awesome week ahead,
