Event Review: Oasis "The June Sessions" 2012 by Altarsound Ministries

The theme of last Saturday's edition of OASIS - "Exhale.Breathe" looked appropriate, in a way commemorating the fresh air of summer we've been longing for. 
As OASIS celebrated it's one year anniversary, the question remains on how much impact has it really had? Or is this just another propaganda to get people excited and stir up emotions? Is OASIS overrated?

Poem - No Greater love

This amazing feeling
to be loved
unconditional love
undeserved, unworthy

To hear your heart beat
beating with rhythms of love
the warmth of your embrace
no greater feeling

it's like the freshness of spring
the brightness of the summer sun
the colours of autumn leaves
the purity of winter snow

Pure, undefiled
sweet smelling savour
lavished without limits
free access, no discrimination

This love
makes my heart glow
For God so loved
no greater love.

May Mentality - The Rise Of A New Breed

It's a new month. May
It's that month. May.
It's that word. May. Allow. Permit. Let.
It's the signal. Time to take action.
It's the clarion call. Hear. Heed.
It's that song. Moving. Forward.
It's the new breed. Takers. Overcomers.
It's the new mentality. Away with the norm.
It's the rebellion. The usual gives way.
It's the emergence of a new system.
It's that time. Time is now. Act.
It's the rise of a new breed. Strong. Determined.
It's the time to march. To Battle. Be Brave.
It's that feeling.
The heart is at the weakest
The battle is at its hottest
Fret Not!
Victory is near!
No time for tears.
Speak to yourself.
Encourage yourself.
May.
Allow.
Permit.
Emit.
Let.
New Month
New breed.
Enlist.
Be the light.
Bring the peace.

Song by Israel Houghton   - Moving Forward.

Event Review: OASIS AprilFeast 2012 - What else can happen?

There's a sense of excitement, anticipation and anxiety that seems to build towards the third saturday of every month. In this case, it's the first "Lunch" edition of Oasis - your place of refreshing. (Sigh of relief for non-early risers). What else can happen - we've seen it all before! Afterall it's been 6 editions, so there shouldn't be so much fuss. 
The theme keeps getting bizarre - "War Cry - The Awakening" - ugh?

Poem: Herein is the love that we feel

Herein is the love that we feel
a deep stiring in our souls
a longing desire to make
to break
to explore
to feel
to transcend

Herein is the love that we feel
an inner longing for something deeper
someone true and passionate
to enter the place
where everything works out
where everyone feels loved

Book Review "Ears Wide Open" by Malachi Talabi

There have been timeless controversies around the theme "I heard God" or "God told me", which has resulted in a questionable stance assumed by church and non-church goers every time they hear these words. Question is does God really speak? How do we recognise His voice if He does? Is there any specific formula or principle to hearing Him? Answers might just have come from South London!

Event Review: Altarsound's OASIS February 2012 - did heaven come down?

Following on the heels of the "Worship Experience - III" held November last year and previous 5 editions, expectations were high as Altarsound Ministries announced the first OASIS event for 2012 to be held Saturday February 18. The theme "Piping Heaven Unto The Earth" raised eyebrows with many wondering and questioning - what's the rationale behind this? 


According to the visioneer Pastor Alexander Victor, OASIS aims to be a forum "to connect with God in worship, prayer, Bible exposition, manifestations of the Holy Spirit along with fantastic food and fellowship as always!"

With so much events currently centered around the worship theme, it's daunting to see how OASIS will be any different?

Here's an account of my personal experience:
