Is clocking attendance at cell meetings in church becoming a burden?
On Day 4 of the AAA Webinar with Full Gospel Assembly Singapore, Gideon shares in his Archippian story that with a newfound kingdom mentality, he begins to serve God from a posture of rest, and no longer finds it a hassle and burden having to clock attendance or purely driven to meet objectives.
From a position of rest, he learns to partner God to move on his targeted assignments.
In his local church, Gideon has been taking up different roles and after listening to Ps Henson teach on “Knowing and Fulfilling Kingdom Assignments”, Gideon recognises that busyness and filling up roles does not equate to knowing his kingdom assignments.
He shares, “God revealed to me that it is insufficient for me to be busy with church or cell groups, listen to sermons week after week but still miss out the one thing that God has assigned for me.”
With this awakening, he begins to seek God in prayers. And God guides him to identify clearly what he should say yes to in the area of serving Him in church and when to politely decline on roles that he knows is not what God has assigned for him.
“When I make that alignment,“ he shares further, “I have time of rest for personal prayer time and I learn how to set priorities. Another change I notice that took place was in my area of serving in my Young Adult group. I began to serve God with greater focus and joy. It is about bringing kingdom influence to my area of influence. “
Are you busy with ten things but missing out the one thing God has asked you to do?

Which race have you been signed up for? How are you training for it or running it?⠀
⠀
On Day 4 of AAA Webinar with Full Gospel Assembly Singapore, Ps Henson taught that the race imagery used in the Bible is very closely tied to our ministry and assignment. In fact, the biblical race refers to our assignments.
⠀
Have you misunderstood the biblical race? ⠀
⠀
Exhorting his listeners to “Finish the Race: Go for Gold”, Ps Henson says it is never too late to wake up and train up for the race the LORD has ordained for us. ⠀
⠀
Paul says, “But none of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.” Acts 20:24 ⠀
⠀
Oswald Chambers, in his devotional based on Acts 20:24 writes, “It is easier to serve God without a vision, easier to work for God without a call, because then you are not bothered by what God requires; common sense is your guide, veneered over with Christian sentiment. You will be more prosperous and successful, more leisure-hearted, if you never realise the call of God. But if once you receive a commission from Jesus Christ, the memory of what God wants will always come like a goad; you will no longer be able to work for Him on the common-sense basis.”⠀
⠀
As you move on your kingdom assignments, are you going for gold? ⠀

After a surgery at the hospital, Kailin asks, “Since my life is preserved, shouldn’t I do more for God?”
She shares, "I thank God for the wake-up call from Archippus Awakening, and the freedom to hop off the “activities train” that I may run on my kingdom assignments.
Today, I am growing in this aspect of saying yes to kingdom assignments and no to Christian activities. I learn to say no when taking a hobby class distracts me from my business.
I learn to say no to a community service project without feeling guilty. By saying yes to what God has called me to do, I am saying no to other things that may be good things. And when I turn down these activities or invitations to be involved in them, I must be mindful not to think that I have missed God’s will (or judged by people thus) when these activities were never the one thing God says to do."
Most of us would be able to identify with the challenges she has to confront. as she experiences more and more the freedom to hop off the “activities train” that she may run on her kingdom assignments.
