The month of July is significant to our church. On 9 July 1967, a small group of young people met in a tiny apartment in Tiong Bahru as a new church planted by Rev John Lee. It was a huge step of faith and vision – one of the first two Assemblies of God church pioneered by local ministers.
As we celebrate EL’s 54 anniversary, we must carry the torch for a church that’s filled with the Holy Spirit, fulfilling God’s mission on earth till Jesus returns. When the love for God and the fervor for His kingdom consume us, we will express it in daily life and in church.
The Bible exhorts us, “Be filled with the Spirit.” (Ephesians 3:18) Contrary to what people think, this is not an event or incident. It is a continual relationship with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit controls us, directs us and empowers us. He works in us and through us.
Church, I encourage you to thirst for God. Give Him priority in your heart. Like the early disciples, you will be transformed to become God’s glorious people, giving hope and light to this world.
I invite you to join us in the anniversary month – special services by Rev Dr Naomi Dowdy on 9 & 11 July as well as weekly sermons by EL pastors.
“I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge--that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.” - Ephesians 3:16-19
