Dreaming of New Church

Funny how I dreamt of our new church last night – although I wasn’t thinking about it – I dreamt the new auditorium had royal blue colour seats & was a 2,000 seater.  I dreamt that the space was tight for 2,000 people but somehow, it was able to fit in so many people as it was very uniquely designed inside.  I’m so looking forward to seeing it when we actually finally purchase the new place.  But such a wierd dream I had.  The space inside wasn’t large but every space was maximised such that we could even have some double decker beds in the rooms to have sleepovers. 

Reminded me of many years ago when we were asked to dream big about how we want our church to look like & to have.  Sounds idealistic but in Christ, all things are possible.  I dreamt that our church had a piece of land that was so huge that was larger than the size of any university campus.  I dreamt that our church would have our own schools – from toddlers right up to our own university.  I dreamt that our church had our own yatch (I love boats) – so that we could take it to spread the gospel to the other countries.  I dreamt that we were a church that was on fire for God.  I dreamt that we would have people queuing up to get into our service & would also have excess overflow into the gardens & people didn’t mind coz they hungered after the WOG.  I dream big dreams & hope to see them come to past in my lifetime.

I used to dream of big dreams for the business community when I was much younger & not yet a follower of Christ.  I dreamt that Singapore would have it’s own theme park that was an attraction to many tourists.  I dreamt that this theme park would have to be offshore due to a lack of land in Singapore – so that it could be as big as it wanted to be.  I dreamt that the millionaires of Singapore & the business community all wanted a share in it.  This dream is partially coming to past more than a decade after I started to dream these dreams – in the form of our integrated resorts in Marina & Sentosa.  

Indeed, it is good to dream big & work towards some goals, slowly but steadily.
