God’s heart for Singapore

This is the defining moment for Singapore. We are entering into seven years of abundant blessing of the Lord for the people of God in this nation. The Lord is about to do more in transforming Singapore in the coming seven years than we have ever seen in our history. God is leading Singapore into her divine destiny. Yet this defining moment is also a moment of decision. Our destiny lies in the choice that we’ll make as a people of God. The devil wants to distort and frustrate God’s purposes for us. God has brought the foreigners to us so that they too, can be a part of this destiny - as the Antioch of Asia. If the church of Jesus Christ arises as one people committed to fulfill God’s destiny for our nation, these foreigners in our midst will put their roots here and make this land their land, this home their home, and enter into the spiritual destiny and inheritance of this land with us as one people. If every leader of the people of God in Singapore will be committed not just to build his or her own church or denomination or congregation or G12 group or your open cell or your tribe, but be committed to build God’s kingdom in this land, the values of God’s kingdom will penetrate into every fibre of our society. However, if we fail to make the right choice, if we decide to be sectarian in our attitude, if we focus only on how we can grow our own church or denomination, we as a nation will lose this destiny of being the Antioch of Asia. The foreigners in our midst will remain as foreigners, using us only as a stepping stone to greener pastures, the true Singapore Singaporean will lose their identity, and they too, will leave this nation and abandon their dream and forfeit their divine destiny. The future of this nation is in the hands of God’s people. This is is the defining moment for LoveSingapore churches, of which we are one of them. To rise up again with a strong national agenda in transforming our land. God has shown us in the past what we can do together when we unite and seek only to build the Kingdom of God. God has shown us in the last seven years that when unity has been eroded, when the vision has not been clear and strong, the spiritual moral fibre of society begins to degenerate. It is time for a national agenda to transform our nation, to align our people to God’s destiny. LoveSingapore is about being a catalyst in spurring God’s people to fulfill God’s national agenda for the nation. Only when this, a national agenda for transformation is fulfilled, can we fulfill God’s destiny for us in Asia and around the world. This 43rd National Day ushers us into 7-year season which will bring Singapore to her 50th Anniversary. That year, could become the year of spiritual jubilee for the Kingdom of God, or that year could become that year of frustrated dreams and unfulfilled destiny. May God humble us, and enable us with brokenness before Him, to cry out for His mercy and grace. May the Lord impart upon us a fire from heaven, to have not only a passion, to win the lost, but a passion to see our nation transformed into the Kingdom of God. May the Lord unite our hearts together to embrace God’s heart for this nation. The stakes are high. When God makes the promise, and we do not remain in Him and obey, we will become a fruitless branch and lose the blessings of God.
