The organ really made a difference last night as it uplifts the mood as we sang hymns throughout the night. Gladly, the young people tried to learn the hymns as well as they sang loud enough for people to hear. I hope our young people will learn how to appreciate the vast message and theology of these hymns.
The message of Pastor Wiljo was really straight and simple on repentance but really caught our attention especially on those sins that we take for granted. There are really some sins in our life that we have already accepted or embraced as part of us. He was able to gave good emphasis on those for us to rethink our ways.
The prayer of repentance seems to be a little off - too quiet hehehe. I suppose no one wants to be exclaiming their sins in public hehehe. I was happy to use my prayer bell once again. It has been years since the dawn watch folded that we were no longer using my prayer bell.
The symbolic casting of sins to the cross with a big stone in each of the participants hands were striking for many. It was really unloading our sins, family sins, church sins and nation's sins to Christ. Many commented felt free and release.
We need more feedback to better prepare the next prayer meeting as we enter the prayer for healing. We now need to mobilize double time as we need to target more members to come to prayer meeting. I believe when more people start to attend prayer meetings, it would be time for God to move in our church in another level.
I praise God, we were able to meet our two objectives for the night. 1. To educate church members about sin – personal sins, family sins, church sins, and country sins. 2. To give church members opportunity to cast their cares upon Christ through confession and repentance.
Praise be to God.
