An Invitation was sent out promptly and on the 20th of October, about 30 students turned up for a “slumber- party” with God Almighty. The first JE prayer meeting for this academic semester started of with a warm dinner at about 8.45. This time around several new faces were seen. On the menu was chicken curry, fried “masala” style chicken and a lovely mixed vegetable salad. The dinner which was prepared by the students themselves was undoubtedly sumptuous. Also joining the table was pastor Paul Elis accompanied by his wife and son. He was the speaker for the evening. Dinner was followed by a time of praise and worship with Johanan and Kelvin on the guitars and Lifan on the keyboard. It is just awesome how a heart of worship can usher in the presence of God because that is actually all that He desires.

Pastor Paul who already isn’t a stranger to JesusEmbassy had much to share about his travels, and plans including God’s call for him to visit Nigeria and Malaysia. He pointed out that we should “test” the words that enter our ears the way we test the food that enters our mouth. He added that God reveals a little about Himself as we spend more time with Him and know His word. It is very important for Christians to know the word of God because it is the power to live and the lamp that illuminates our paths. Finally he urged the students to develop a passion for God’s word and proclaim the promises of God.

Throughout the night many areas were “touched” and “covered” by prayer. The students prayed for their families that all will come to know God, unity, for their respective nations, friends and also for their personal life. Prayer session was alternated with praise and worship, games and even supper!!

Even though the meeting lasted the whole night till dawn, it felt as though only a short moment had passed

The prayer meeting ended with JesusEmbassy as a group praying for each and every person present and also for their respective ministries.

It was no surprised that everyone was tired and could be seen with their eyes drooping as the clock struck 6 in the morning. However these students came with a desire to stand in the gap and intercede for their friend, and it was indeed a mission accomplished. We looks forward to great things in God’s perfect timing!!!
