The Coming Glory

Tonight after work I came home and had a quick dinner. I wanted to rest but I did not have enough time to do so. I asked God for the strength to enable me to go out, drive carefully, alert during the session and to have journey mercy.

Since I did not take a quick nap, I decided to go out ten minutes earlier than I had planned. And thanked God I made the right decision cos by the time I reached outside my housing estate, there was no electricity supply all the way to Tuaran Road. A Toyota Landcruiser in front of me was doing a 40km/hr. I thought the car in front of the Landcruiser was directly in front of this car but it was not. I could not overtake cos there were a lot of cars coming from the other lane. (This morning a Toyota Landcruiser was doing the same speed as well. *sigh*)

I saw another Toyota Landcruiser waiting at the traffic light to cross over to Lintas Road, I quickly acclerated so that I could go behind this car and when the driver crossed over, I could follow behind.

I parked the car outside Chiu Thai Seng Supermarket for Sophia to fetch me before fetching Lily Tan and Deborah Tai as well. We were all attending the following event.

When we arrived at Skyline SIB main sanctuary, there were no seats for us to sit together. In fact there were still a lot of spaces where they could have put extra chairs for people to sit.

We were ushered into a small room where there were seats for us to sit down, with a double screen showing what was going on at the main sanctuary.

The Worship Leader was a young man who played the guitar at the same time. All the back-up singers were ladies.

This was the second time I heard Dr. Joe Ozawa shared the Word of God. Previously he came was long time ago. I thought he looked darker and he had a beard then.

He has become more humourous than before. He spoke in English while Ps. Steven Choon translated into Mandarin. In between his sharing, there were times for prayer with the person sitting next to us. He shared on a lot of stuff but the conclusion is as follows.

1. Prayer is from the Spirit and not from the soul.

2. Intercession is not safe. Life is not safe.

3. Covering is not by magic words. Covering comes by holy living. Even then …

4. There is no guarantee of anything, except that Jesus is Lord!

5. Humility and love are the main ingredients of successful prayer.

6. Anyone who prays for others is an intercessor. They stand in the gap on behalf of others.

7. Everyone is called to pray, not just a few special people.

The night ended at about 10.30p.m.
