City Harvest Church KL Blog

Hi Church,

Greetings in the wonderful name of Jesus!

First and foremost, I would like to take this opportunity to wish all the fathers a happy and blessed Father’s Day! I pray that the LORD will bless all your endeavors and grant you success in every area of your life. As fathers, you have always been a great role model and support for all of us. Today, we want to take this time to honor you and tell you that we love and respect you! We love you, dad! And to show you our appreciation, we have prepared a special service together with a drama and a song item together with a special father’s day gift!

City Harvest KL is rather young as a church. We are only in our ninth year and most of our leaders and members are in their 20’s. As such, the majority of us are still not married! Therefore, young as we are, and given this opportunity we need to learn as much as we can of how a godly father should be so that we can start a strong and healthy family in the future.

As Asians, we seldom talk about our fathers and we seldom appreciate them as we do our mothers. We tend to be less emotional and less expressive. We tend to hug less and we hardly share our feelings with them or about them. We have a preconceived idea about them that I think is not right. As a church, I want us to change that. And the best way to do that is by replacing the old mindsets. Begin to praise them and appreciate them. Show them that you respect them even if you do not agree with them. Honor them in front of others. Say good things about them. I believe this is how Jesus wants us to honor our fathers.

Church, let’s pioneer a new mindset in this generation where our fathers are respected and honored, where we are not ashamed of them and where we can freely share our feelings with them and about them.

Let the fathers lead. Let our fathers have their rightful place in history.


With prayers and blessings,

KEV
