. Festival of Praise.Before and After.]
Wow such an explosive event!!!The worship and praise atmosphere was so powerful and impactful!Was so refreshed by God!Performances by Hillsong and Delirious are really awesome!!!Thank God for them!
However I wished I was there early.I was dismissed from school(NYP) at 6pm while it starts at 7.30pm.And I am supposed to alight at Kallang MRT and then take a bus to the indoor stadium!Thank God I managed to meet up with my shepherd Eilton and Ai Fang or else it would be a miserable long journey!I was really entertained by the 2 of them.Hahaha!As Eilton kept taunting Ai Fang,"When you are gonna fail,you will start to react like that!"Haha it was so fun.Better than watching variety show at home!
We finally reached Kallang MRT.There was really a huge crowd queueing up to take the free shuttle bus.Thank God despite the intimidating stretch of people,we managed the board a bus that came right after the first which came earlier.Another round of disturbing by my shepherd happened in the bus!!!After all the laughter I had,we finally arrived and alighted at a bus stop near the east entrance.The queue was darn long.I thought that we are gonna miss these event thank God we managed to get inside.Haha so excited to watch the live event.
However,we are led by the ushers into a huge room with a big screen showing the live event.I was a bit disappointed cos I really want to participate in the event and praise God with all my heart.My disappointment turned to joy as Eilton led us to climb the stairs and "infiltrated" the stadium.We managed to find 3 seats which is just nice!!!Thank God!!!
The worship was really great.Atmosphere was so strong.I can really feel the Holy Spirit come into all our hearts.It was a really spectacular view as more than 10,000 people in the stadium were standing up,raising their hands and singing to worship God.I really loved the music there.The band Delirious simply rocks!!!Their songs,vocals and music were fantastic.It really stirs my heart and enhanced the atmosphere.The praise songs made me jump like mad that I was so tired at the end of the event!!!
The sermon was given by Reverend Colin Dye from Kensington Temple regarding apostlelic faith.Although some of the words that he said really helped me in my walk with God,there are some parts I am still blur.Its quite chim.Really wished that I had brought my sermon book to copy it down and ponder over it at home!!!The FOP was hosted by City Harvest.Although Reverend Kong Hee did not give a sermon,he encourages eveyone to buy the Cross CD recorded by City Harvest.The cover design is very nice but I did not buy it haha!
After the event ended,(Ai Fang left early)Eilton and I went to north entrance to find the other NYP bros and sis.I finally managed to meet up with my sister(real one not Hope!) Sharon after being "lost" with her friends.
We managed to reunite with the other NYP care groups.They are
NYP3:Joanne and Job,NYP4:Hui Mei,Giselle,Hannah,Jia Hui and Cathy,NYP5:Dawn,Georgia and Josie.What a huge group!!!We crapped around a while.Talking about Roti Prata and Malaysia RGS(Rasa Guru Secondary School).We took taxi in the end as the last train has just gone!!!However,it was a really memorable,impactful and fulfilling Festival of Praise!
