Hear the sound, The sound of distant thunder Watch the sky The coming of the King!
Feel the wind Breathing in your spirit The time has come To stand and raise the standard for Christ the King!
The future is ours, The future is ours to take. The future is ours, The future is ours to make.
I believe that faith is the answer. I believe that love makes us whole. I believe that miracles will follow. When we arise, to walk the works of God, For Christ the King!
The future is ours, The future is ours to take. The future is ours, The future is ours to make. The future is in our hands, Build the church together! The future is in our hands, All our gifts we offer!
I have the habit of bringing my praise and worship cds along with me (which is why I still use my lovely discman. Not a scratch till this day :) ) to constantly remind myself of why churches worldwide bother to produce albums.
So why? The answer is simple. THE FUTURE IS OURS. And what’s got albums and Marty Sampson to do with the future? Easy. The commitment of these album makers is that they are providing a resource to the church at large. They are sowing into the kingdom of God, hoping people all around the world capture their vision and share the gospel. And God reassured me of that this morning. I heard that the future is ours to take. I heard that the future is ours to make.
Whoa. Hold on a sec. the future? I’m not even done with NS God! I’m typing this in NS! Then I realised my folly. God wants me to look ahead, not at the present. God wants me to look beyond the four walls of our church and forget what man can do. God wants me to believe that the works of God promise no limit.
The future is ours. The future of our church is ours. The future of Ang Mo Kio Methodist Church is in our hands. With our church planning on redevelopment, I don’t think it’s coincidental that I somehow listened to the song ‘Future’ twenty times before I wrote this. I take that God is pointing in the direction of us taking up the mantle of our church’s future.
The song ‘Future’ was sung by City Harvest Church when they were expanding from their old Cineplex. This song was the cornerstone of their expansion efforts. And as I listen to it for the umpteenth time while writing this, I can’t help but feel inspired.
The future is ours, The future is ours to take. The future is ours, The future is ours to make. The future is in our hands, Build the church together The future is in our hands, All our gifts we offer.
This part of the song resounds with not just vision but authority as well. They are claiming a new church. They are claiming a new congregation. There is an element of submission as well, which I think is important. As we expand, we have to acknowledge that God is sovereign and that we offer up our gifts to Him for His work in us.
I believe that faith is the answer. I believe that love makes us whole. I believe that miracles will follow. When we arise, to walk the works of God, For Christ the King!
What more can I say! AMEN! Brethren, let’s BELIEVE that faith is the answer!
Hear the sound, The sound of distant thunder Watch the sky The coming of the King
Feel the wind Breathing in your spirit The time has come To stand and raise the standard for Christ the King!
I can’t help but notice that we’ve got to keep the end in mind while we build His church. To keep the second coming of our Lord in constant view and make it our goal. I like the last two stanzas. The time indeed has come to stand and raise the standard for Christ our Lord!
Come on guys! Let’s get pumped up about our church expansion! Let’s pray! Let’s seek the Lord! Let’s make it a point to submit ourselves to God at least once this week.
As we get all hyped up about our church expanding, let’s make this the cornerstone of our belief. Because we are the future of our church. Because we ARE the key to expansion. Because we have a God waiting to use us all for His Glory.
BECAUSE THE TIME HAS COME TO STAND AND RAISE THE STANDARD FOR CHRIST THE KING.
so… are you with me, my follow brother?
