Announcements!!


ATTENTION ALL USHERS!!


I believe many of you might have already known that you will be taken down due to AE on the official date which is 3rd August.

BUT!! Only for Usher Ministry, we are going to extend the dateline until 12th August, as because of FOP and Grand Opening which many of you are going to usher! 

So to make clear one thing is that only those that are ushering for Grand opening, your dateline is extended to 12th August
As for the rest that are only ushering for FOP and are going to be taken down, your dateline is only extended by a week.

So guys! Lets really sieze this opportunity and give our very best and USHER!!! haha, i believe many of you are sad to be taken down but before you leave(temporarily), really REALLY! give your best shot at FOP and Grand Opening!!

Amen??


Another thing is that, be reminded that there is usher meeting on the 12th of August, Timing is 1-3pm.
It is still pending as we still do not know if we are able to use Singpost for the meeting on the 12th, but there will be one! So please take note!


Thanks!!

Commitment

Dear Ushers,

Recently I met up a group of people in usher ministry for a meeting. I share with them about:
Life of Excitement Vs Life of Commitment
Just thought of sharing with you.

First of all, it's always good for us to do self-evaluation.
Question: When was the last time you actually evaluate yourself in your walk with God?
So this post will make you do a self-evaluation in your walk with God.

Today, I'm going to share with you about a life of Excitement and a life of Commitment.
Are you living a life of Excitement or a life of commitment.

What I mean by this?
A life of excitement - You are someone who has short attention span. You go with what you feel is good, fun, exciting, entertaining, enjoyable.
A person who live a life of excitement it's like a person who just go with what he/she feels.
"oh..everyone of my friend is playing basketball. it's the "IN" thing now. I shall go master basketball. I want to get into school team. After few months, you get into school team already. Haiz.. it's getting boring. Everyday we are just shooting ball, can't we just play match. For the past 10 trainings, your coach got you do to the same training again. you are bored.
The next moment, your friend share with you about badminton. Oh, aiya..basketball is boring (you quit), i shall join badmintion now.
This is a life of excitement. Trust me, this person will quit badminton after a few months and join another sport. He/she has no direction in life. No vision.
Life of Excitement = No direction = No purpose = No vision.

My question to you: Usher ministry is happening now, there's chalet coming up, FOP duties, etc. you want to come for every usher duty. You give your best in Usher Ministry. You are on form. What if Usher Ministry is not as happening, will you still be serving? You are not on firm. Let's say it's your 500th usher duty.. will you still serve with the same attitude you have during your 1st usher duty?
A life of excitement won't, a life of commitment definitely will.
So are you serving in usher ministry now because you are living in a life of excitement or a life of commitment?

A life of commitment - You are someone who is committed! Committed to everything that you do. You are faithful and loyal to the things you are given. You are someone who won't give up easily. Never give up.
A person who live a life of commitment is someone who will always learn something new or be impacted in every thing he/she does. Example: Usher ministry, he/she will definitely learn something or be impacted after his/her duty. Why? The reason is because he/she comes in with a new expectation whenever he/she serves God. With a new expectation, you will learn as you expect something new.
[How to come in with a new expectation even if it's my 500th usher duty? The key is to tell yourself never be familar with the way things work. Never assume eveything is right. Never be familar with your chief usher or the system on how we work. when we are familar, we will come in with the same expectation because we assume we know how it's going to be like]

Are you living a life of Excitement or a life of commitment?
Live a life of commitment.
email me and share with me your own evaluation.
email address: jianming_hogc@yahoo.com.sg

Oh.. that day I was talking to one of the ushers who shared with me how she felt after she learnt from this and evaluated herself.
She shared with me that this teaching is really helpful to her. It has help her to really commit herself to give God her 100% in everything she does and it change her to have more perserverance in whatever she do.

Hope this is helpful..
You will be blessed.
Love this!

Jian Ming

HI ALL USHERS!!

Attention pls!!


i've added in a new column at the side of the blog, "Upcoming Usher Duties" !!! It tells you about all the next upcoming duty!! so ushers, please check!!

and therefore there's no more excuse for forgetting duties anymore! and inform your chief ushers beforehand if you cannot make it for duty! WAHAHAHAH! =p

PLAN YOUR TIME WISELY!! so as not to let 2 ministries clash on the same day! i think i remember pastors said this before, "if you fail to plan, you plan to fail!" so plan your time!!

and most impt of all, be accountable to your chief ushers!! if you cannot make it for duty or is clashed with some other ministry, tell your chief ushers in advance so that they can plan! AMEN?

i remember not long ago, i had Dance and i was also on for Usher duty. and i forgot to tell noni about it, in the end i had to run both ministries at the same time and almost saboed the whole team, this is about accountability la people!

i have made this mistake, so guys!! Dun follow my example, but learn from it!! plan in advance! and if there's anything, let your chief ushers know in advance as well. Agreed? ^^

thank you people!!


Walking into my Destiny!

My Vision.

After the service on vision, God spoke to me during quiet time a few nights later that although I may be new, I can also achieve great things if I put my heart and really have faith in Him. And all big things must start small just like how Jesus compared the amazing kingdom of God to an ordinary mustard, which a man took and planted in his garden. It grew and became a tree, and the birds perched in its branches. This set me to think how I can get started and God told me that a sincere smile is a powerful tool which I can use to soften hearts and impact lives. It is easy being an usher but what distinguishes the Heart of God Church ushers from other ushers is our love for people and God. It does not matter whether you are a head usher or just a new usher like me, for we are in love with God, not just his causes, and that we are all working towards a common goal. By starting small, I will be preparing myself spiritually for the greater plans God has for me. I am counting down to my first duty on 20 July 2007 when I can let new friends feel welcome like how I first felt. God will use me to usher people into their destiny and the vision God unveiled for me is to be an usher for the 1000 people church, something I believe will come to pass in the near future.

My vision for usher

hey there,

today was a powerful service. When Pastor How told us to seek the Holy Spirit for a vision, I seek for a vision in usher too. So I am here to share more about my vision for usher (:

The vision i had was seeing myself as just someone who is there to support pastors, chief ushers and the section leaders. With every number 1 man, there is a number 2 man. I am the latter. I would be someone who would make them feel secure that someone would be watching their backs while they are leading the fight to usher a 1000 people. LOL. For now, I can be zai enough to let my leaders know I can take care of a certain thing and they can do other things without worries. And when my section leaders cant be there, I can be there to help. I am praying and planning to make my vision come to pass (:

Well I am sure many of you has a dream to be a chief or even head usher. I dream of being a head usher too. However, I think that we should not dream of promotion, but dream of going to that level of a head usher. For when you are secure in what you do, God knows you are ready for promotion.
