FOP 2005

Have not gone to FOP for years. Decided to go this year as a cell with the young adults.

Fri was out..... cause got Bishan cell mah.... So Sat seems like the best day.

FOP starts 7.30. Knowing there would be a crowd, decided meet earlier, 4.30....

Ramesh, Justin & Jasmine decided to go earlier to help us Q. Alas by the time we reach SIS, they were in front and we cant join them. So they got in, they tried to "chope" seats for us instead. But we were so far back in the Q that they have no choice but to give up the seats.

Finally we made it in. WeiJian, Desmond (WeiJian's bro), XueXin, Grace, Eilleen and I found pretty good seats, but they were behind the screen. Very tiring reading inverted lyrics : (

But the atmosphere was electrifying. With a whole stadium fill with God's people, His Presence is just so tangible.

For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them. Matthew 18:20

Message was from Exodus 3, Moses and the Burning Bush.

Moses began his life as a Somebody before he became a Nobody till "I AM sent me".

We need to know who we are in God, what is God's revelation in us. Without Him, we are nobody. What makes us different from the world is that we have Him in us.

Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." Matthew 19:26

That make us different. We are the world's walking Bible. The world "read" us first before they know God.

We are called to be "living sacrifice". The thing about living sacrifice is that the sacrifice, I, can crawl down the altar anytime! Dying to self is an ongoing process. You dont make a decision to die once and expect yourself to stay completely on the altar forever, cause you are still living.

Hillsongs and Delirious was fabulous. It wasnt just praise and worship. There was so much anointing, in the midst of worship, we were led into prayer for salvation of the lost. Suddenly "Salvation is Here" became so real.

Well.... till we are all in heaven, all good things must come to an end. I was telling myself. Let this night be special. I will not come again tomorrow. Plus I still got to work on Mon leh. Well God had other plans.... Thats another post : )
