Pastor Yang lays out the prophetic vision for Cornerstone 2021. In this message, he speaks about how we should expect the supernatural to become natural in our churches, how we must abide in Christ to increase in fruitfulness, and how we should prepare for, and sustain the coming revival.

Moses’ encounter with God at the burning bush is an account we all know about. However, with familiarity also comes the tendency to gloss over and miss details that can convey much truth. Here’s a relook at this familiar encounter and a discovery of fresh insights that we may have easily missed.

In 1 Kings 17, we find the story of one of the greatest prophets of Israel, the prophet Elijah. This is the first time we read of Elijah in the Bible. When he shows up in this chapter, he’s a fully formed prophet. We’ve no idea what went on in his training. We’ve no idea of his background. All we know is that when he appears before King Ahab, he’s fully formed, fully mature, and he had the authority to open and to shut the heavens and the authority to call fire down from heaven. And you’ve got to know that when a man has the authority to do things like that, that he has been prepared for such an hour. This is the Year of the Prepared. If you’d prepare yourself now and come into fullness, you’ll see the Glory of God manifesting in your life.

As the Bible begins its account of the history of Jacob in Genesis 37:1-2, an amazing thing happens. Instead of coming into the foreground of the biblical narrative, Jacob fades into the shadows, and the focal point shifts to Joseph, Judah and to the rest of Jacob’s children. If this isn’t a poignant statement of how heaven views our history, then what is? It’s time for us to amend our thinking that our convergence and fulfilment is about us. Instead, our lenses need to be readjusted to realise that it’s about our descendants – both natural and spiritual.

Ancient Chinese Proverbs says, “When you see a good man, emulate him. When you see a bad person, examine your own heart”. This is wisdom indeed. One of the most important things in life, according to my Bible, is the pursuit and acquisition of wisdom. But understand something of the wisdom of God – it’s multifaceted and multi-dimensional. In other words, there’s often far more we do not see compared to what we actually see. And God’s wisdom is not confined to just one aspect of life. It touches every single facet of the human existence. One of them, according to Proverbs 14:8, is for a man to understand his way and this is called INTROSPECTION, a much needed spiritual exercise in our busy world.
