Sanctification Week 20-22 March (Thu-Fri) @ Max Pavilion

Sanctification Week 20-22 March (Thu-Fri) @ Max Pavilion

Very soon the 40-day fast from computer, TV, recess/lunch/dinner will come to an end. Finally I don't have to watch my time to make sure I gobble adequate amount of brunch before 11am. Otherwise it will be a good 6hrs before I can eat again. Oops! Abit like cheating in my fasting! Haha..

Why the 40 days fast? It is not "because Pastor say so and I can't say no otherwise my boys will ask why and I will have no reply." The 40-day fast is to prepare us for Sanctification Week. Instead of eating, we use the time to draw closer to God; chit chat with Him, ask Him to help us in our daily struggles. When we set aside time just to be with God daily, His presence will come and envelope us entirely and we feel very rested. Sadly this kind of restedness is often only felt during church/encounter camps. Why?

That's because normally we are too caught up with work to wait upon Him. When we don't spend time with God on a daily basis, we find it difficult to come into His presence. Even the short 30mins worship during Sunday service may not be enough to usher us into His presence. There is no quick fix. Are you yearning for that kind of restedness? If yes, start preparing now!
