National Day Prayer & Worship Celebration

This year, our tanah air will be celebrating its 51st independence day and what a long way it has come since the days of Tunku Abdul Rahman, Tun Tan Cheng Lock and Tun V.T. Sambathan. We used to learn Sejarah in school and part of the reason it was injected into our curriculum is to remind the younger ones of the pain and strife our leaders and founders of the first political parties battled through for the independence of all citizens of Malaya.

However, we witnessed how it has gone from the heightening peak during their reigning days to our current political situation. Truly, it is a dog eat dog world. With the current political turmoil, especially the repeating 10 year old accusation, some of us Malaysians have turned out backs on our country; feeling disappointed and hopeless. We can't help but shake our heads and sigh when more political tactics are thrown from the government to the opposition. Next, we think about migration.

The following video shows how our representatives communicate in parliament and that is a norm. So is this what we call harmony amongst all races in the country?



Does this mean that there is nothing else we can do but sit and wait for another interesting round of fight between our supposed role models for the country? No, you are wrong. Very wrong indeed. There is a reason why all these are happening and it is God's hand upon our nation. The mammoth win during the March election was not coincidental, it is God stirring the hearts of many wanting a change, because He wants to bring change to our nation. Change is a big word, and with it comes things to get done.

We may not be in the parliament making a stand, but with prayer, we move the hands of God.

Join everyone else this 31st August and come with a burdened heart; a burden for our country, Malaysia. Let us move in the spiritual realms together with sister Hoon and hear from our Lord His promises for our tanah air.
