God’s Heart for Singapore


The Day Of His Power is "that unique day in the year when God's people, young and old, male and female, rich and poor, strong and weak, local-born and foreign-born, conservative and charismatic, come with one heart to pray for matters that truly matter: a life changed, a church revived, a nation transformed, a world evangelised!" (LoveSingapore 40-Day 2008 Prayer Guide)

On 8 August, close to 7000 people packed the Changi Expo Max Pavilon for a night of praise, worship and prayer. In a night where Christians had a time of repentance and reconciliation with the foreign nationals working in our nation, many were excited about what God had laid upon Ps Lawrence Khong for the Christians in Singapore. See below write-up on "God's Heart for Singapore" for the script of the prophecy.



This is a defining moment for Singapore. We are entering into 7 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 7 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 we will make as a people of God. The devil wants to distort and frustrate God’s purpose for us. God has brought the foreigners to us so that they too can be 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 congregation, but be committed to build God’s kingdom in this land, the values of God’s kingdom will penetrate into every fiber 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 stepping stones to greener pastures. The true Singapore Singaporeans will lose their identity and they too will leave this nation, abandon their dreams and forfeit their divine destiny. The future of this nation is in the hands of God’s people.


This is a defining moment for Love Singapore 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 where unity has been eroded, where vision has not been clear and strong, the spiritual and moral fiber of the society begins to degenerate. It is the time for a national agenda to transform our nation and to align our people to God’s destiny. Love Singapore is about being a catalyst in spurring God’s people to fulfill God’s national agenda for the nation. Only when this national agenda of transformation is fulfilled can we fulfilled God’s destiny for us in Asia and around the world.

This 43rd national day ushers us into a 7 year season which will bring Singapore to her 50th anniversary. It could become a year of spiritual Jubilee for the Kingdom of God in Singapore. Or it could become a year of frustrated dreams and unfulfilled destiny. May God humbles 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 compassion to win the lost but a passion to see our nation transform into the Kingdom of God. May the Lord unite our hearts together to embrace God’s heart for this nation.
