We had just a piano to work with, and a real inexperienced worship leader. I thank God He had no problems with that! The key to His presence is truly a simplicity and brokenness of heart, that which He would never despise. I believe God did something in the hearts of those who were gathered.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Univers, 'Zurich BT', sans-serif;\">Pastor Philip shared passionately about the importance and the ingredients of an authentic vision and how we should personalise it into our daily lives. Being a part of Zion Fellowship International (under the covering of Dr. Brian Bailey), he also shared on the vision of\u00a0 Zion, and how our Christian walk is likened to the journey of Israel. It was an individual and corporate call to a higher place \u2013 an ongoing and progressive vision towards God\u2019s highest purposes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Univers, 'Zurich BT', sans-serif;\">God birthed Zion into the hearts of many who desired to fulfill the calling of Zion&#8217;s vision in their lives. The message then concluded with a salvation call. One lady, the only unbeliever in the congregation, responded. It was a touching moment for many and tears of joy flowed freely. It was Zion Fellowship&#8217;s first-fruit harvest unto the Lord. Needless to say, it stirred our hearts and built faith to believe God for greater things in the days ahead!
