Last night was the first night meeting with Pastor Yang from Cornerstone Community Church, Singapore. And before the preaching of the Word we had a glorious time worshipping our Lord Jesus Christ with Alma leading the worship.
Praise the Lord for His great anointing in EBC on the worship ministry. We don't just have a Spirit-filled pastor who loves Jesus and excels in his worship & singing gifts, but the Lord has also blessed us abundantly with many similarly talented ones - so many until the ratio is getting pretty "miraculous"! All glory and hounour to our Almighty God!
Has anyone noticed that sister Deborah is getting younger? Last night she was again worshipping the Lord with all her might most gloriously!
I spotted a few new faces in the congregation - all too were lifting up holy hands in prayer & singing unto our great God of Israel.
Sometimes I do wonder - is there a special connection between King David been acknowledged by God as "a man after God's own heart", and his lifestyle of worshipping the LORD that paralleled no other biblical character? Hmmm?
"O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker." (Psa 95:6)
For the LORD is great and greatly to be praised! Amen?
Praise the Lord for Alma & her team. Hallelujah!
Urr...let's come back to Pastor Yang - the reason why we had the night meeting in the first place.
Pastor Yang is all ON FIRE for Jesus Christ. He is also a fiery preacher who can't keep still for a single second and who talks FAST! You could sense every fiber of his being is all on FIRE for the Kingdom of God, and for the glory of Jesus.
And the topic last night? What else but Baptism of FIRE!
The calling last night was on: 1) To be ON FIRE for Jesus so that you could become an effective & useful vessel for the Gospel impacting lives & community, 2) To be ON FIRE so that the dross & spiritual fleas of your lives that have been imparing your spiritual walk & holiness could be burned off.
Well, almost the whole congregation came forth. Glory be to God.
Many were touched.
And I pray many will increase in their pursuit of the knowledge of God & Jesus, to be transformed by the regeneration of the Holy Spirit, to abound in the fruits of the Spirit & righteousness, and to be an effective ambassador of the Gospel of Jesus Christ in this lost & perverse world, fearing God & loving the brethren.
Amen.
Lastly, right before the end, Pastor Yang gave a word of prophecy over EBC about the POWER of our Lord Jesus Christ manifesting in the church in the coming days...
Hallelujah!
"And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God." (1 Co 2:4-5)
For our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full conviction... (1 Th 1:5)
