This is a post for 3rd of august..i should say i would write the most cause today is the day i experience most of the things in a day and this is how my day begins.
Saturday night till Sunday midnight i am practicing service songs for sunday english service and also chinese service, and it is a big challenge for me indeed. So after that i went to sleep but i can't sleep, there has been lots of things worrying me, lots of anxieties also, waiting for God's answers that tis supposed to be replied, and thank God finally he answered me through sunday's night Passion's concert.
Early sunday morning, as i prepared very early in the morning, wearing proper formal and ready to get to church, having my last serving as a basist. My heart feels not right at that moment, and soon during rehearsel, i told gracy that i wasnt much feeling good about the sound adjustments, it seems empty, plus i am very very nervous for that morning, not knowing know wat is happening to me, as service has started, things go quite well and till chinese service, it's even more nervous for me as it is the first time i'm helping out the chinese service worship team. Thank god because of him, i managed to get through it and everything goes on smoothly, and ah chung has reminded me one thing, which is to play, to touch your hearts, the congregation's hearts, bringing them into the moments of worshipping the Lord.
As everything has ended, i feel very potong stim d..so planned to get a quick lunch with thomas and johnson in "Face to face" noodle house, soon after that i rushed home, get a shower and wait for Rick to pick me up for the Passion's concert. I got tired till i forgotten that sunday night is suppose to be a concert night..duh.. Everyone's heart and passion is ready as this is my 1st time viewing Passion's world concert tour.
So roughly at 5:15pm, we get into "sunway pyramid's convention hall", we sat on the right corner in hall 3, front 7th row and it is quite a glamorous concert, i feel amazed when i saw this, as if God is giving me something to sense. Just a glimpse, someone called up my name and it's May if im nt mistaken, one of the actress in my recent short film movie, and lord and behold it's glad for me to be able to meet up with her and her boyfriend again, it's a good time for us to have a few conversations. 6p.m sharp, the concert started, with introduction, dim musics, flash and screening effects going on and on.. and finally "Chris Tomlin" appeared, and everyone shouteddddddddd...
i was surprised when i worshipped together with the whole 4,500 christians from all over Kl churches! and with Passion changing their new music direction to soft rock. I never felt so enjoying in most of my praise and worship, and yesterday night was indeed a magnificent moment for me, as i truly experience everything from God.
This is the main thing i wanna share in this post, which is the short sermon that "Louie Giglio" preached, their whole mission for this concert is to reach out to univerisity students and help us out to be the next generation for our country Malaysia. It is the time when i remembered most about the word "Grace" and "Jesus". A testimony about a girl, Ashley, she just believed in Christ for 3 months, and from her diary i managed to get to know how is her past life, that she truly had a friend which she called "fruitcake" , accompany her all the way from the most difficult part in her life till she believe in Christ. I was surprised when Louie showed us that there are no more pages to be written after she got her new BMW car and after a trip with the family, she had an accident and had a serious internal bleeding.. 4pm that day she passed away. From her diary, it took her 14 days to give all her life and trust in the Lord. It is because God has given lots of grace to her, that she might be able to come back to the midst of the Lord. Initially she thought God only loves people like "fruitcake", being loyal and faithful towards everything, but she realize that it is Jesus that let her realized that Grace and Salvation has been given to her. After this testimony, my heart feels sad for the family and her, but i am happy for her because she managed to bring this diary to her father, and he finally believe in the Lord as well, because he knew that Jesus changed his daughter's life tremendously, and then finally he handle up this "diary" to Louie to be shared to all of the youths, students in everywhere he go with the Passion team concert tour.
As we responded to the songs, Chris Tomlin challenges us to release every tensions i have and everything that i have to God..and as the song "amazing grace" was sung, my tears deeply falls, i feel so sorry to God for what i have been doing all these while, not honoring him with what the has given to me, and in this time i cry out and sing to him that i need his "Grace"... that's the moment i start to feel his presence is with me again, that he tells me "do not quit worship team", which is initially my decision. Louie reminded us about the next generation in our country, we are to build up this country with what God has created for us, what Jesus has provided as well. As i sang the song "how great is our God", pictures of Malaysia is being screen and looking at this country, i really feel blessed that i was placed here by God, because i would say it is a very wonderful country! Before Passion's team reaching KL, they had another concert session in Phillipines, Manilla. The team showed us the video that they are eventually praying for us every single day till the team reached Kuala Lumpur, they provided the team with USD 40,000 just to support this concert, and from this i can see the unity of every single students, poor or rich is not a matter, but its the heart to provide to the needs of others.
Our next prayer is to set off to Indonesia, Jakarta. I believe that God will move the hearts of young generations in this country, as i will make a promise to him to pray for the team, and the nations, so that this concert would be successful!
Through yesterday's incidents, the Lord spoke to me a lot, that in my life, by his grace i am not afraid to shine for him, and i am not afraid to serve him no matter what circumstances appeared, and i make a promise in between us that i would keep my manner to the best, be a servant that shines for him, bringing people to know him every single day, no matter how hard it is, i will make a choice to be like the "fruitcake" friend.
Last but not least, i will upload few pics we've taken, as what happen through that day as well!
All glory be to God!
