Cornerstone Singapore Audio Podcast

Lazarus and Singapore – what could they possibly have in common? John 11 is more than the story of Lazarus – it holds a prophetic message for Singapore today. The tomb is not the end, the stone will not have the final word. God is calling us from success to significance, and from blessing to becoming a blessing. Singapore’s remarkable rise was never the destination, but God’s preparation for a greater Kingdom assignment.

In the world today, we’re constantly bombarded with endless notifications, opinions, demands, and distractions that compete for our attention. It’s easy to mistake busyness for fruitfulness and activity for intimacy with God. What if the breakthrough you’re longing for isn’t found in doing more, but in becoming still? What if the clarity you’ve been seeking is waiting in the quiet?

My friend, J John says, “God is not willing that any should perish, so He devises ingenuous ways to reach them.” John 4, the story of the Samaritan woman, is one of them. It’s an EPIC story – a masterclass in Evangelism where the Master Himself demonstrates how to fish. Interestingly, that was the longest recorded conversation Jesus had with anyone in the Bible. Food for thought?

Biblical fasting isn’t about dieting, but discipleship. It’s about dethroning the flesh, denying unhealthy cravings, and feasting on the Presence and the Word of God instead. When we exchange natural for spiritual food, our appetites are reordered, strongholds are broken, and God’s power is released in our lives. When our stomachs no longer rule us, the Spirit can.

The size of a church is not a good indicator of how healthy it is. God anoints His Church for increase, not by sheer numbers or size, but by the quality of disciples trained and thrust forth into the harvest field. May our goal not be to grow a big church, but a big people!
