DAY OF HIS POWER!

today proved to be a significant day... not just for me but for Singapore too...

day started officially @ 2pm today. (not counting the waking up @10am to watch "meet the fockers") went to class and got ready to learn some stuff from ms benita. talked about presentation and how to present ourselves during presentation and interviews. then she went into the whole life purpose talk and talked about how we should choose our career wisely and that we should pursue our dreams and interests rather than trying to earn the bucks. it was out of the world! on the day where the 40 days fast was suppose to end, ms benita actually talk about life purpose. now i'm hearing what God is saying to me! she is cool! follow my dreams! fulfill my passion....

anyway, class ended at 4.45pm and me, eddie and jas headed down to city hall. (we spent 20mins at the queenstown station waiting for jas...) had dinner at BK and off i went to indoor stadium for "day of His power prayer" meeting held by love singapore. a finale of the 40 days fast, it was a significant time of prayer and intercessions. there was 3 different waves of prayer and intercessions with a grand finale. the whole indoor stadium was packed with prayer warriors. it was cool... real cool... worship was led by the Joshua 21 team with our dear mr wong as one of the backup singers. he did a one verse solo of "take me deeper".

worshipping with our handphones...

First Wave...
we had a time of praying for consecration , communion and then revival prayers for singapore. the communion pack was so funny. too bad i didn't have a picture of it.

Second Wave...
then we watch a video and pastor lawrence khong came up and led us in prayers for the nations in 4 different arenas. (Church, Government, Marketplace and Media) the things that they were praying for was exactly the ones that i wrote in yesterday's post. i am amazed by the power of God. i can feel it coming back. he also had prophetic words for Singapore. we had a good time declaring the name of the Lord at the end of this wave.

Third Wave...
third wave began with pastor eugene seow challenging us to give radically and big to the Lord. one thing that he said that really made my day was "hope is when we live the dream of God out". it was so clear in defining the term hope. now i understand that the only hope that we have is to dream God's dreams. only way that we can receive hope! i am blown away but the things that God is teaching me today. then pastor rick seaward came up to lead us to pray for Singapore and then the nations. as usual, the final was left to the most important nation. East Timor. spent the last bit of it praying for East Timor.

Grand Finale
the finale was a significant time. it started with a young girl singing "it takes only a sparks" and her leading the whole stadium in a declaration of faith. it was such a power time of declaring God's power in Singapore. significant for Singapore as she enters into the ending hours of a 40 years journey. Then pastor eugene seow came up again and this time, he hit the bull's eye. he felt the Lord wanting Singapore to come back to being a child and to be childlike! Ouch! pain! but worth it... it confirmed the purpose of this blog. share on how to be a child and childlike at heart.

eunice and sheena
jiahao, chen hwa and william
i met this two girls from St hilda's church where i was sitting and had a good time praying with them. oh by the way, their names are eunice and sheena. (hope i spell it correctly!) both of them are studying in NUS' Arts. apparently eunice's grand parents are from our very own kum yan cantonese worship. small world or rather God appointed. i saw how kum yan is being used in blessing the older generations.

mr cornelius quek... going back in 2 days time...
once again, i had time to catch up with some people and it was nice. nice to see jennifer and john, gary and joanna, kelvin (the guitarist) and cornelius again. found out that cornelius is going back to the states to finish his last one year of seminary. bless you bro!

adicolor? pirated?
saw this on jo's belt and it was so funny. i asked her if it's a pirated belt from china but apparently it's actually limited edition from adidas. (maybe i'm being a mountain turtle) costed $39 from city hall. haha... oh well... it just remind me of brands from china like rien bao (reebok) or qiao dan (jordan). hahaha... old memories...

after the prayer meeting, went to lavander foodcourt to have supper with ian, joel, joanne, beatrice, jakins, noelle, queenie, keith and jael but not before going to geylang (our inital choice but it was just too crowded and hard to find parking) and then jian tao jian (it was closed). it was crazy! hahaha... had our dose of our favorite wanton noodle and the pancake. good food alway satisfy! thank You papa God for giving us the choice of choosing our food.

i thank papa God for the things that He shown me today. now i am more than ready to do the will of papa God and the passions that He have given me. i am ready to run the race again. now i want to run it like a marathon runner, not a sprinter. i am going to persever all the way till the will and dreams of God is fulfilled in my life.

By the time i got home, it was 12.30am. long day but important...

Quote Of The Day
Be a child and live like one. dream like a child and you will soar. hope is when we live God's dream out.
