The power of being little

God gave this message while I was in Korea for the World Youth Prayer Assembly from 26 July to 30 July. It was held at the Ilsan Kwanglim Church in Goyang-si in Seoul. 

When I received this message, it really ministered to and I knew that I had to write it out and preach it.

I felt the Spirit of the Lord giving me this message and the points:

1. Definition of little
2. Delight of the little
3. Dunamis of the little
4. Destiny of the little
5. Declaration of the little

Definition of little

The text He gave me:

"A little one shall become a thousand, And a small one a strong nation. I, the Lord, will hasten it in its time" - Isa 60:22

What is the definition of "little"?

In Hebrew, it means "qatan" which is young, small, insignificant, unimportant, little worth.

"Small" is "tsa'iyr" in Hebrew which also carries more or less the same meaning as "little".

In Greek, the meaning is "mikros" from which comes the word "micro".

The definition falls into 2 kinds:

1. In terms of age, the little people are those who are young or small. In the World Youth Prayer Assembly (WYPA), this group of people is between 17 to 35. They got prayed for over and over again whenever the speakers preached from Jerome Ocampo to Ps Nico to Dr Brown to the German speaker to Ps Yang (Singapore). This age group was really ministered to for the 5 days of the Prayer Assembly.

2. In spiritual or emotional terms, it also refers to a group of people of any age who sees themselves as unimportant, insignificant, of little worth, incapable of doing many things, lack of ability, gifts or talents. They are people who see themselves as failures and not able to progress or make it in life.

Yet God's promise to them is this - they have the potential to be a thousand and a strong nation!

The largest contingent at the Assembly was from Korea, the second from Philippines and the third Malaysia! Some countries sent only 1 or 2 participants but they were all prayed for with prayers of faith during the Rapid Fire Prayer time when nation by nation was called out for prayer!

Can these 1/2 or 3 go back to their nation to start the UPRISING? In Christ they can!
