Dear friends,
"Rebirth" - that's what I heard from God. To Nicodemus, Jesus declared, "No one can see (enter) the kingdom of God unless he is born again (reborn)" (Jn3:3-5). To the church today, Jesus declares, "No church can impact the kingdom of God unless she is reborn." In Eze.37, the church came from the tomb but in John 3, the church came from the womb. The first is a place of death but the other is a place of life! And God is calling ICA from a place of birth. This is a new season in which ICA is experiencing a rebirth or in another word, "re-church".
What does it mean? In John's context, it is turning our "water" experience into "wine" experience. Water speaks of the routine, ordinary, mundane, plain, flesh and dullness. Wine speaks of the extraordinary, joy, occasional, special, celebration, value, excitement and the Spirit. God wants to turn our church experience from water into wine. The wine that was occasional now becomes an everyday special experience. Water is being changed into wine and it's the 'best right till the end' (Jn2:10). ICA is no longer a "water jar". Instead we are the "wineskin". (Jn2:6)
Your Shepherd,
P.Edmound & Yvonne Teo
