i feel very blessed by the three days conference i've attended. i feel that it was a call by God to attend the conference. the speakers were great. they spoke with deep conviction for the work that God has tasked them to. they spoke words that carried urgency. words that hit the heart about the relationship i have with God. especially Rev Edmund and Mr James Taylor, whom i believe is the IV. have i caught the vision of God or am i just floating around in ministry. am i prepared to consecrate myself, filled with the deep conviction of God. will i be isaiah and say -
woe is me because of my sinful nature and then respond inmensely gratified and joyous saying -
here i am, send me! mr james taylor IV preached in mandarin, speaking better than i could ever speak mandarin. lighthearted but serious. i've learnt a lot. i took notes and i think i am gonna buy that conference CD, you can ask me and i will help when i can.
i was very blessed by the worship too, led by the Almighty working in a talented worship leader - mr clement chow. frankly speaking i had no idea who he was until timothy kept saying -
quick go in, i dont want to miss the worship by the famed worship leader or the likes. the worship wasnt like the planetshaker kind, think -
hands up, jumping and going - i wanna be a reflector. i felt it was a quiet worship, because we were concentrating on the
time with the Lord more than anything.
workshops can get dry but the last day, i attended two workshops that spoke to me even though the context and circumstances are not right yet. its preparing me, that kinda thing. one led by mr ron and the other, uncle weeseng. i cant believe that li en and shu actually stayed in china before. and chinese farms are the best place to lose weight according to uncle weeseng. hahaa.
its not just a missions conference, it was a timely reminder of the nature of God.
loving, full of grace and compassion, empowerment, strength, rest, magnificent, refuge, i could go on forever.
on a lighter note, i made breakfast for them, most of them compliments, i should make one of the egg mayo for uncle william cos he didnt get to taste it. thankfully i made extras, cos uncle pakchee and aunty laura hadnt had breakfast before coming.
timothy was a big distraction but great entertainment during the conference.
shuling was also entertainment with all her funny antics.
junhao showed himself as a interesting entertainment too.
catherine was not so much on entertainment, but she entertains too.
william was busy socialising to entertain me.
hahaa. these people are awesome. men and women after the Lord's heart.
i pray that the Lord burdens me with the needs and then disciplines me to pray then convict me to move.
O Sacred kingO Holy King
How can I honor You rightly
Honor that's fit for Your name
O Sacred Friend
O Holy friend
I don't take what You did lightly
Friendship instead of disgrace
For it's the mystery of the universe
You're the God of holiness
Yet You welcome souls like me
And with the blessing of your father's heart
You discipline the ones you love
There's kindness in Your majesty
Jesus those who recognize your power
Know just how wonderful You are
When You draw near.
