Feast. No crumbs. Banquet.

Throughout this year... this theme runs... just keep developing... like a story...

In KY family camp... God showed me a part of Him that I needed to know - His full generosity. The theme of the camp was "In His Presence" where the invitation was to feast in His presence.

He was so real... during 'worship'... He showed me strawberries and I cheekily asked for it to be dipped in choc and then He showed me tables and tables full of it. And He said - eat all you want. The next session, He showed me ice cream... and then endless tubs of it.

At KY a month ago, also during 'worship', I saw a rose. And then He showed me fields of them and told me that He will give me all the flowers I ever want.

His generosity. His fullness. His desire. To give so much. Overflowing. Not witholding anything.

And then CP launches the 40 Day Purpose driven Life. As I was doing the design, the theme 40 day adventure came for the youths... and the tagline: NO CRUMBS. That we were not servants that we needed to eat the crumbs of the Father's table. But we feast with Him. We have a rich inheritance! We can live life to the max! We want the real thing. We live a purpose charged, energy pumping, full life. Not gonna settle for anything less. That was also confirmed by Rev David Palmer who spoke on that passage.

No crumbs.

Tonite, at J21 9-11 prayer concert... Siew Lee spoke about God having a banquet. Where only a minority was served and many were not. Those were not could only watch.

That really struck a chord that we as a generation, was to share our Father's generosity. Not just eatting and overeatting and stuffing ourselves silly because the food is continuous and just never stops. We are to give. We are to feed the ones that were not served. We are to share with them our Father's generosity, that they may know that they can live a purpose charged life. That they may have hope. Just feel like crying. May we go and feed them, clothe them and love them.
