Wanna share something that has been on my mind for quite some time and after devotion this morning, I think I should say. I sincerely hope we will still pray for this country even though after May 5th.
This country needs prayer all the time.. not for a period.
Was reading from Isaiah 62:6-7:--
"I have posted watchmenon your walls, Jerusalem; they will never be silent day or night. You who call on the Lord, give yourselves no rest, 7 and give him no rest till he establishes Jerusalem and makes her the praise of the earth."
A watchmen's job is never easy but it's something we need to do!
So.. seriously.. we need to keep on praying for this nation.
Wokeup, open my FB.. apparently a lot of people saw a rainbow this morning..
So nice of everyone to take that sight. Thanks Hui Ling for this picture.
Rainbow over FCC. Lovely sight :)
Any sight of rainbow instantly reminds me of the Great Flood story.. in Genesis 7 to 9.
12 And God said: “This is the sign of the covenant which I make between Me and you, and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: 13 I set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth. 14 It shall be, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow shall be seen in the cloud; 15 and I will remember My covenant which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. 16 The rainbow shall be in the cloud, and I will look on it to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.” 17 And God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that is on the earth.”
(GENESIS 9:12 to 17)
Wow.
That's why each time i see a nice rainbow, it reminded me of God's promises and faithfulness in our life, our nation, our world.
It's an honour and pviligne to be leading worship on such huge platform.
Led worship on Tues day time (morning and noon) and Wednesday day time (morning and noon)..
Any boy, what an experience to be leading worship at such conference. People just poured out to God, just crying and wailing for the nation. I am totally in awe to see how God moved...
Besides that, learnt a lot about prayer. It's important to pray even though it's hard.. prayer changes things.. prayer is the life we need to have.
Praise God and thank God for the whole experience. How I got to lead worship here .. well.. I believe it's God's timing and plan =)
The testimonies about the making of this whole conference proves our God has His hands in everything we do. It's just awesome to know how He is moving!
Offering : Jesus You are so good Response : 5th Closing : Land after land (quite an old song which I can't find Youtube reference) Andy led on Sunday... Heart preparing : Change my heart O God
Really thank God that we had the opportunity to do that cover.
I actually saw it on Sidney's FB and I straight away forwarded that to my team, saying let's try. We planned and with limited time and resource, we do what we can.
I admit I was worried whether we can make it. Many questions asked.. whether by members about the preparation or even my own self about the whole idea.
It's quite an ambition to push ourself to see what we can do and achieve. More of testing waters to see how far can we go.
On that day itself, we faced challenges like some of us were tired by the time of recording (because it was a full day for some of us), solving minor details, then out of sudden, i had a minor stomachache. When we practice, some of our gears didn't work and we were still trying to sort the arrangement 'perfectly'.
After much tries, we managed to pull off. When i said, "it's a wrap" .. there's a sense of relief and peace. Suddenly my thoughts brings me back to what this cover all about.. JESUS
He endured suffering, shame, pain.. so He can died on the Cross for us.. so we can be saved and can come to the Father. When He said it is done, the whole world stood in silence.. as the King of Majesty has completed God's ultimate plan -- brings us back to Him.
When Jesus said "it is done".. there's a sense of peace and at the same time, something powerful happened.
That totally brings a different perspective to me after I finished the Easter cover.
I hope this year's Easter has been meaningful to you.. as much it has been to me.
Anyway, thanks all for your support for the video. There were many LIKES, SHARE and positive feed backs. Keep sharing, keep enjoying.. all in all, praise God for everything! :D
