This years Festival of Praise has indeed created an impact in my life.
Probably because I decided before I went for FOP, that I wanted to find God in that meeting. Which I did, all three nights! I love Him more and indeed being in that stadium made me visualize the building that City Harvest was going to built. Its like seeing catching a glimpse of the future interior. Even by looking at the exterior I can even see how it was going to be like. However, I know ours will be bigger, after all, we are impacting the market place.
Back to my topic. Festival of Praise was a time where we can pray for the nation, our nation, Singapore. Indeed I am grateful for being born in Singapore. We can actually do more things for God due to our position. Festival of Praise is also the only time, where all churches from around Singapore can come together in unity to praise and worship the true living God. It was an experience that I can never forget.
The was also Pastor Mark Conner, forgive me if I spelled wrong. He was a very funny and interactive guy, and one more feature of him that really stand out.
He was SUPER DUPER TALL!
Wow... Really tall. But nevertheless, he brought the whole three days of FOP a word from God that really wake up the Singapore churches. The messages were:
1. How A Church Should be Like
2. Growing Old and Growing Up
3. Live the Life of Eternity
Indeed three messages that I am seriously going to apply in my life, especially, number 2 and three message.
I will talk more of the messages if I have the time. But now, I just want to say, PARACHUTE BAND as well as REUBAN MORGON and the Hillsong Team ROCKS!
I have to talk about the Last night of the event. After Mark Conner's preaching, we went into a time of worship. Afterwards come the Praise. And BOY! The Praise was superb! We sang old hits, new hits and then they told us to come to the front of the stage to dance! I immediately turned to one of my friends, Guang Jin. He knew what I wanted and he is also very enthusiastic.
We took off in an instant, we did not manage to get very front but it was still nice to see so many people around me, jumping, yelling, shouting, all praises to God. We jumped and danced till we're so tired. At the end of the whole praise, the pastor came up and told us this.
"You wanted to live in Eternity? Well THIS is what Eternity is all about! Christians all around, regardless of denomination, will come together and praise God together!"
Indeed, everything on that whole FOP was a just a minor glimpse of Eternity. You know what? Even if its a minor glimpse, I still Love it! I cannot comprehend what will happen when Eternity really hits us. We won't be tired, we'll be praising God through songs, through our talents and abilities and even through prayer. Its going to be HUGE! thats for sure.
