What a nite @ GDOP 2007! I always feel a tingling whenever Christians (thousands!!) gather to praise, pray & proclaim the Lord's name in one voice. Last night, Leng Kwang Baptist Church sent 3 bus loads to the National Stadium. As a show of solidarity, most (hee .. hee ... the obedient ones) donned the LKBC polo T-shirts. It's encouraging to see members young (Randall) and old (even Auntie Aimee Fones!) hopping on the buses all excited to meet God.
Upon reaching the stadium (6.15pm), we quickly made our way to the designated area of Baptist Churches. A Youth band was already on stage leading a very much upbeat worship. One thing I remember from last year's GDOP was the skyline, esp during sun set. What a beautiful piece of artistry that God had painted. It was really great to lift up my hands to Him and raise my voice to heaven.
Gradually, the stadium was filled with the churches of Singapore, until you find yourself a part of the multitudes. The evening began formally @ about 7.30pm with Clement Chow leading the churches in singing, focussing our hearts and minds on God's Agenda.
The night was divided into 3 segments: Repentance => Reconciliation => Restoration, with a focus on one "R" word i.e. "Relationship". We prayed in groups/pairs for God to forgive us for our sins and heal our our broken relationship with Him. We prayed for unity within the Body of Christ. We prayed for God to heal relationships within our Family, for Broken families to come back together.
We ended the night will praying for the Youths!! All the young people!! That they would desire to live their lives for God and accordance to God's Word!
That's me with Caleb @ GDOP 2007. We'd a swell time praying with each other through the last 10-day before GDOP and tonight @ the stadium. Each nite, we'll also read portions of Psalm 119 (all 176 verses!!). Praise the Lord for meeting us and changing us with His Word.
"May my lips overflow with praise,
for you teach me your decrees.
May my tongue sing of your word,
for all your commands are righteous.
May your hand be ready to help me,
for I have chosen your precepts.
I long for your salvation, O Lord,
and your law is my delight." Psalm 119:171-174
