Love, ACJC Christian Fellowship
Sunday, July 1, 2007
LoveMG was a blast! The whole auditorium was mostly filled with girls (surprise surprise...) and a couple of boys.. mostly from ACJ and ACS(I). It was a night of praise and worship for the LORD! There was an impactful sermon in which many souls were saved and many Christians rededicated their lives to Christ. Then there was the MG song where moans of protest came from the boys (:
So back to the impactful sermon: I just felt that something like this ought to have a place in this blog! Well it was a sermon about chairs.. I'll try to type out the whole sermon as closely as I remember it to be... without putting in the countless "everybody say (insert word here)"s XD
Well the speaker started off with telling us about chairs and how important chairs are in some situations, including an incident in the bible. If Jesus appeared in front of you now and told you that you could ask Him for ANYTHING in the world, what would you ask for? Well James and John had an opportunity close enough. And they asked for chairs. Chairs to sit at the left and right hand of Jesus Himself in heaven.
Now, in our lives, there exists four different chairs. A red one, a green one, a grey one and a black one. And everybody, Christian or not, sit in one of the chairs. So what do the chairs represent?
The red chair
The colour of this chair represents fire. It represents Christians who have the burning passion and fire for God (FireAC anyone? haha). These kind of people enjoy worship sessions and can never get enough of it. They have a burning desire for an intimate relationship with Him and will maintain it.
The green chair
Or also the chair of growth. Christians who are sitting in this chair are seeking to grow closer to God everyday. They do their QT, read the bible and pray consistently to grow closer to Him. These people are in the stage where they only want to see their faith grow with each passing day.
The grey chair
Neither hot nor cold aka lukewarm. Sadly, the chair in which many Christians sit in. These Christians neither have the sustained passion for God nor do they deny His existance. Yes, these people are Christians. But what are they doing? They are content with their current relationship with God and do not do anything to improve it. They sit in their comfort zones everyday and do not outreach to others. The speaker pointed out that this is the only chair with the 'eject' button. God will push that button when He comes again.
The black chair
Those who have sinned and have not repented, those who have heard the word but have not accepted it, those who have know ABOUT Jesus but do not actually KNOW Him. These are the people sitting in the black chair. I prefer to call them pre-believers. When Christ's kingdom returns, judgement will fall upon them if they are not saved in time and they will be condemned for eternity.
Everybody is sitting in one of these chairs. Those in the red and green chair will have access to heaven, while those in the grey and black chair will not. The question now is not which chair you want to sit in, but which chair you ARE sitting in.
Ok.. so that's more or less the whole sermon. After that sermon, the pastor called for everyone to close their eyes, and take a moment to think about which chair they are sitting in. He then called for those people in the black chair who want to be saved, followed by those in the grey chair to raise their hands. When he called them out to the front, virtually the whole auditorium moved up! The number of souls saved... it was tremendous. Praise God!
Well I just pray that majority if not all of us are in the red or green chair! But regarding the red chair.. XunLiang and I had a short sms chat after the event.. and so I'll want to add this too. Part of the red chair is taking the extra mile for God. So what is this extra mile? To be ushers. Yes. Ushers. We can be all on fire for God, preach to everybody we know and plan worship sessions in our available time. The thing is, can we do better? Preaching to pre-believers is one thing. Ushering them to the red seat is another.
The next time you see an opportunity, usher the person to the red seat. Not just to Christianity because that may mean the grey seat or the green seat. Not that the green seat is bad, but as soon as you see progress, usher the person to the red seat!
God bless (:
