Ladies Combined Meeting

SIB held the 1st combined meeting of the year today and what a great way to start the year! The guests were from DUMC headed by Doris Ho and her team sharing their experiences in prayer. Their passion was tangible and infectious.

There were a number of things to take back but these particularly stood out for me :

1. everyone should learn to worship not just worship ministry teams because worship is about ministering to the heart of God firstly and then ministering to one another;
2. worship and prayer are not different activities (compartments) but one flows into the other and are integrated
3. whilst God looks at our heart, learning how to carry a tune helps!

We know we are called to pray, we know that when we pray God works and the impossible becomes possible but yet it is so hard to pray. It is easier to almost do everything else but pray.

The DUMC team shared some tips:

• It is not easy for many to pray in a corporate setting. That's ok as prayer in whatever platform is still prayer, so starting in small groups is fine,
• Find a few anointed prayer warriors to champion each prayer meeting,
• Share a vision so that there is unity and passion, purpose and direction
• And finally... just do it!

Well.... what are we waiting for?
