Today was a busy day with two main sessions and I had to present my small seminar twice. But it was good.
The first session in the morning was presented by an evangelist from Nepal. He came to the Lord a few years ago and now has a vision to reach every village in Nepal and plant a church and a trained leader in each village. He walks miles and miles to fulfill his calling. The main point that struck me from his talk was that we need to remember that “prayer is an intercontinental ballistic missile.” No matter where we are, we can pray from situations far from us and expect that in the name of Jesus, the strongholds of the enemy will be broken and God will work in amazing ways.
My seminar was in a room that was a bit difficult to find, so some people later told me that they were unable to attend because of this reason. However, those who were able to attend said that they were blessed. I spoke on the keys to seeing the power of God in our everyday lives. A few were even filled with the Holy Spirit during the prayer times afterwards. And I was able to counsel others to overcome the failures in their lives.
In the evening session, which was about going beyond socio-economic structures, focused on Jesus’ commandment that we should love our neighbor as ourself. It went into detail on the practical meaning of this commandment. It was presented by a Datuk, which is a person who has been conferred the title of “Sir” by the Malaysian monarchy.
After the main session was over, the talent show began. Just as the talent show began, I was called away to speak with a lady who was not a believer, but had attended my plenary session and had been deeply touched. I was able to spend some time listening to her story and encouraging her to move forward. She said she would try to attend church regularly in an effort to find peace and move beyond her visible circumstances.
I was able to catch the second half of the talent show. A guy did come for prayer to receive the Holy Spirit, but mom prayed for him instead of me.
A rich Singaporean-Chinese businessman wants to set up a meeting on Monday with his friends. God has laid it on his heart to possibly help us build the orphanage. Pray the the Lord’s will be done. Maybe now is the time for my childhood dream to become a reality?
Initially Pastor Pritam told me that he had been unable to arrange for us to speak at a church on Sunday morning. I was so exhausted that I didn’t feel to bad about this. But, half-way through the evening, Pastor Pritam said that we would be speaking on Sunday at Jesus Lives Church. Praise the Lord! Lets see what the Lord has in store. Sunday is going to be a busy day!
