Prayer for our neighbours

Islam is the fastest growing religion and is the 2nd largest religion in the world! Every 4 humans is one muslim. Muslims have increased by over 235% in the last 50 years and up to nearly 1.6 billion. By comparison, Christians have increased by only 47%, hinduism 117% and Buddhism by 63%.

Do you know, that there are over 15 million Muslims in Malaysia alone. God's desire is for all to be saved and none to perish.

Jesus said, "I will give you the keys of the kingdom fheaven; whatever yu bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven." (Matt 16:19)

Tonight all 101 GT cells (along with other churches around the world) will be praying along together that Our neighbors will come to know the truth and the truth will set them free.

Lets pray that:

• God will place in our hearts, genuine love, care and concern for our Muslim friends.
• Opportuinity for the Church to be bold and courageous in sharing the gospel, that fear would not be their hindrace.
  
• As we reach out, the Holy Spirit will give wisdom on how to share Jesus without offending them.
  
• That the Muslims in Malaysia wouldhave divine revelation through dreams and visions of Jesus Christ.
• For those who have converted to freely share their new found faith!

For all online readers and fellow friends overseas, lets pray in unison that God will do something spactacular and amazing during this Hari Raya Celebrations this coming week!


In His Majesty's service,

Desert Song

I feel so tired sometimes of serving.. like right after each dance I choreograph, I barely get a few weeks rest before starting on the next dance. My brain feels tired of envisioning, my body feels tired from moving, my spirit feels tired from being emptied. A friend reminded me today that it's normal to feel this way in ministry. But that doesn't help my weariness.

My spirit's been feeling tired often these days. I think it comes with neglecting my quiet time *rueful* I am spending some time now refocusing, worshipping, and just letting His spirit fill me once again. Just feel like I'm walking a desert and I need that refreshing water that is God. I need to drink from His 'water bottle' as my pastor here says :)

This is my prayer in the desert..When all that's within me feels dry..I will bring praise, I will bring praise..

In every season of our lives, whether it's the desert, the fire, the battle, or the harvest, God is still God. He never changes, He is that consistent. And I will always have a reason to praise Him.

I know I'm getting my heart attitude right - it's my honour and joy to serve in the way I am called to serve. And though I get tired sometimes, hey, I'm only human :) All the more reason why I need to seek Him, so that I'll always remember that I do these things only by His strength and not my own... because on my own I get TIREDDDD.... hahah...I will just be drained!

I know I'm filled to be emptied again, the seed I've received I will sow..

Love and hugs
