Draw me nearer to You, nearer to You. Fill my life with Your presence the way You want to. Till my soul is ablazed, wach and everyday. Draw me nearer, nearer to You.

Alex - Saw gold. Felt that we should press on to Jesus, the Author and Perfector of our faith. (Heb12)

[after prayer]
Jk - Felt the love of God embracing her once again. How deep the love of God is for us.
Val - Saw waterfall, waves and ripples.
Dot - LOVE. Standing in awe of God.
Chris - Felt the fire of God released through Dot as she sang. (during worship earlier). Ezekiel 1:_ Fire, whirlwind. Watchmen - If we don't speak and tell of their sins, we'll still be held accountable 'cos that's our call as watchmen. Setting of standards. Saw a pillar of fire, veil was opened and lifted up. It's a fire that will purge not hurt. Gold coming out of it. Cleansing, Refining, Purging.

Prayer Points:
-to commit the musicians meeting
-our leaders and members
-not to compromise our standards, reaching out to Sojs in love

Gatekeepers. (9th Jan)

Attendance:
Unc Jem, Chris, Alvin, Jk, Nana.

Dreams/ Visions/ Impressions:
Alvin - Ps73 - God is the strength of my heart, my portion forever. (vs26b)
(and verses 18-27)
Unity among leaders. 'Holiness'

Jk - 2 Cor 4:7 "But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us." We are not perfect but God sees us as these precious treasures that He seeks after.
We've to learn to fear God and honour Him in all that we do. In worship, we're carrying God's glory, not just experiencing God in church but everywhere we go. (the favour of God upon us)

Unc Jem - Gal 6:9 "And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart."
2 Cor 12:9 "My grace is sufficient for you, My strength is made perfect in weakness."

Nana - Don't be nice and compromise. (eg: we compromise God's standards because we do not want to offend people..)

Chris - For this year. A Year of Positioning and Alignment.
Just like the oil that flows down Aaron's head (refers to Christ) then the beard (the leadership) then to the clothes (us/people)...
