Manifestations happened, faith were stirred, love for God ignited!

I can say that it was an incredible experience, one that I will always remember. It was my joy to be able to help and assist our visitors in the Filipino hospitality way; to be able to talk to them and say thank you for sending God’s message even if they came from other parts of the world has blessed me more.

Despite the importance of my role, the Lord did not fail my expectant heart. Days before the conference, I soaked and prayed. I even surrendered everything to Him so that I can give space for Him to move and yes, He did. I received revival, and a refreshing powerful encounter through the messages spoken and all the Altar Calls. Whenever the praise and worship started, it gave me a glimpse of heaven while seeing and singing with God’s people with grateful hearts and hungry spirits. It surely reflected how our Church prayed for God to manifest His power over us. I also appreciate how the Singapore Team supported and interceded to magnify Christ in this movement.

One of the teachings that moved me was the story of Esther in her reigning queen era preached by Dr. Reverend Suzette Hattingh. Her past was specifically woven by God for her destiny. The Crown of Thorns gave her the privilege to wear the Crown of Glory to save her nation. God allowed her to wear the Victor’s Crown because she used the challenging past to the victory of her land. Her disasters and humility were honored by God. 

The message of how God’s purifying fire molded Esther’s life for her to be the exact woman called for such a time as that. It really broke the yoke in me that sometimes hinders me to do what God has destined me to do. To turn tables for Him; to turn such places into places of prayer and worship and to use my life including my past as His tool to fulfill my God given destiny.

The conference also took me to another dimension of how it is like to be a woman of God crowned with purpose. Truly, Pastor Yang and Pastor Daphne brought the message for all God’s daughters including me. We all know that being a child of God is not easy because we all need to stand still in every opposition. The battle in the spiritual realm can also push us down but the good news is, even if there is just a drop of oil in my jar, it is enough for God to do what only He can do in my life. I can face every giant and take them one by one because God is in me. Through the power of the Holy Spirit and by using His anointing given to me, I can break the yoke of my generation and for the generations to come. Even the stubborn yoke to the places where God would send me can be taken down if I continue to stay in His presence, seek Him first and wear the crown while living with the purpose of reflecting Christ in my diadem.

Today as I write this, I am still in awe of how the Holy Spirit poured His presence to each and everyone who attended the conference. Manifestations happened, faith were stirred, love for God ignited, miracles seen, healing was received and God’s name was lifted up but the question is from this day forth, what can I do to keep God’s power moving from one life to another? What does it really mean to care and to take action? How does my life of prayer and worship manifest the power of the Holy Spirit to do the work of God? - Sheila Cabonce (San Jose Del Monte)
