Knowing God

I have read some comments written on the CT blog and I am VERY PERPLEXED at how some people made comments such as:-

“God doesn’t work this way”
“God’s righteousness is tainted by those in CC”
“let’s have a prayer meeting outside…… let’s inform the international pressmen”
“PG is a rogue pastor who sees himself beyond reproach….”


I am even more perplexed that the administrator at CT actually allowed some of these badly constructed comments to be published. Some of these comments actually leave a very very bitter after-taste when you close your browser!

Many people who commented at CT claimed that they know God’s way. Show me a brother who disagree with the post at CT and I will show you perhaps 50 other brothers who come attacking that gentle brother! I can even list down the names these 50 brothers would use on that one gentle brother:-

- blind follower of PG and BOD
- pro-PG supporter
- spiritually immatured
- brainwashed by PG and BOD
- lacking in faith
- have faith in PG instead of God
- trusting in PG instead of God
- and the list goes on…

How sure are we that the people who left these comments at CT are truly people who really know God?

Can that person who claimed that “God’s righteousness does not work this way” really do know God’s righteousness? Can God trust him enough to be His ambassador here? Does he read God’s Word from cover to cover at least once a year? Does he spend time in quietness and stillness before the Lord everyday? Or, does he read his Bible everyday? Or pray everyday?

People who practice all these spiritual disciplines DO reflect more of Christ in their lives.
When things go wrong, they would instead go to God in prayer and would not spend their time blogging and commenting and contributing further negative remarks on some public blogs on the Internet.

Sure, the leadership of Calvary Church, Rev Prince Guneratnam and his family, the Board of Deacons, the associate pastors, and etc, they are not perfect people, but are we perfect ourselves?

We do know one thing, that the people who commented at CT are people who have been genuinely hurt and are deeply disappointed at the leadership of CC. But what differentiate us from them is that, we choose to forgive the leadership of CC, and we choose to pray along with them till God bring about the desired breakthrough and revival to the church.

Yes, there are times when we know the anointing was absent and sometimes may have left us to fend for our own in some meetings, but it does not mean that God does not care. There are many times too, that our meetings are just mere programs that have been planned to the very minute of what to say and how to say them, but it does not mean the church will continue to be like this in the next few years, nor does it show that God is not at work.

So, we just need to continue to pray for the leadership at Calvary Church. They need fresh anointing, new revival, genuine breakthrough and spiritual awakening too. It is time we pray for them to experience all these, and not complain about them. It is seriously time we pray for them to go down on their knees and let God dictate every prayer meetings, every Sunday services, every Christian meetings in the church. Let’s pray for humility for them and for those who have been hurt and for those who want to have a proper closure to this whole thing.

But in the mean time, let’s not our speech divide further the body of Christ. Let our choice of words draw one another closer to reconciliation – and not away from it.

Let us pray.
