SHOUT BOX!

Hi Mighty Warriors!

Just want to share some thoughts with you today. Have you ever wondered the meaning of our national anthem you sing everyday in your school? Perhaps most of us sang it out of obligation, we sang because it just a national anthem. I have the same attitude when I was in school. Why must I sing? It seems like no meaning! The English title for our national anthem is called, Onward Singapore! It speaks of marching, moving forward as one, to emerge as a strong nation.

As I was watching the national day parade, I was filled with awe. It is a miracle where a nation where there is no natural resources could survive and go on from a third class country to a first class country. Her resource is only people like you and I that will make Singapore known. I want you to know that God has called you and I here to make a difference in our nation. Maybe you don’t feel really what’s the big deal about being a Singaporean, but if you really take time to go to national library to find out about our history, I assure you that you will be amazed at how God could raise up a nation this far. The bible says in Proverbs, that ‘Righteousness exalts a nation!”

I want to encourage you to pray for our nation. You and I have a part to do in this country in the days to come. So now how can you contribute to the nation? Simple, when you gather for national anthem, as you are singing, pray in your heart, pray that God will continue to use this nation to touch the world. Through the progress of the nation, people will marvel the greatness of God in this nation. Let’s make it count for our Lord Jesus in this land he has placed us in!

Onward Singapore!
Pastor Gary
