He confirms...

This year God has been speaking to me a particular word. Interestingly, this word has been repeated by different people through different prophecies in different times in different places (even continents). Indeed, our God is a very consistent God. And to me it feels great to find God speaking to me about the same thing again and again. It gives me assurance that indeed this is what God wants to do in and through my life.

In the ministry front, in the beginning of the year we developed the following acronym:

Faith

Resilient Love

Urban Discipleship

Inspired Outreach

Tarrying in Prayer

CULTURE

This acroynm represents what we feel collectively as AG4 leadership on God's prophetic direction for us for the year 2007.

In our recent church anniversary celebration God used Ps PN's message to bring some assurance in my heart that He indeed wants us to grow our faith and prayer life.

Ps PN's message was about faith. Abraham against all odds believed and became a father of many nations. Indeed, we need to keep believing in God's promises and sovereignty rather than in the magnitude of our challenges. When I look at the accounts of the Gospel I see faith as one huge factor whether somebody is going to receive their miracle.

The testimony of how Hope Bangkok started the church was also shared. During that time they had prayer meeting weekly. God spoke to them and they interceded according to the revelation received. The result was that the church saw God's divine favour upon them week after week. I really believe that many times we really undermine the power of prayer and intercession. We tend to overly rely on our hard work and skills. And when we pray we tend to pray instant prayers instead of labouring in prayers and listening to the Holy Spirit on what we should pray and intercede.

I really believe that as we serve God dilligently, develop our skills and rely on Him fully we will see mighty breakthroughs in our lives and ministries.

Thank you Lord for confirming your prophetic direction again and again. Help us to continue run this race with faith, prayers and great perseverance for we know that our labours shall never be in vain and that the best is yet to come. Amen!
