God's miraculous work in Covenant 2

By the end of the 2nd service last Sunday, Pastor announced in the 3rd service that the full sum of $25 million dollars for Covenant 2 has been fully paid for, without drawing on church reserves, without drawing on a bank loan, testifying once again about The Lord's goodness before we start the first service at Woodlands this Sunday.

Since the Lord called for Covenant 2 to be built to reach the Northern Corridors of Singapore 2 years ago, the Lord has provided graciously. How then, can a moderate sized church raise an average of 1 million a month despite of the fact that the average age of the congregation is in its mid-thirties. At that age, they are mostly young families with children to take care of.

While I was praying with my prayer buddy on Thursday, our zone pastor came over and shared his journey of faith in Covenant with us. He was the Pastor from a very rich church located in town until he was called to Covenant as a pastor. In his old church, their money was their greatest resource, not just for themselves, but for the neighbouring churches in town as well. They had a huge base of money to draw on due to their investments despite being in deficit for the thith and offerings every month. Therefore, it was a scary thing for him when he came to Covenant, because building Covenant 2 means starting from scratch with no church reserves to draw from. It was a journey of faith for Him, yet He learnt what it was to trust in God and His promises. Every week, whenever Covenant Pastors meet, he said that they were never worried, only prayerful. And God had proven Himself faithful once again.

I wished I could live with that kind of vision. Knowing clearly that God has called, and having the faith and the obedience to following that calling, not needing to worry for anything, but trusting that everything will be provided, simply because He has called.
