Wherever we share the gospel, the Lord would always fill the place with joy.
During our 1st sharing at CKRM Banting Church in Selangor on 26 July 2009, many of the congregation were filled with the joy of the Lord. A local ‘Feng Shui’ master was zapped by the Holy Spirit and wept very loudly. He repented and committed himself to the Lord. Instantly, he was filled with great joy and he danced to the delight of the congregation.
God hates sin but loves sinners. Like the fortune teller girl who was set free from demonic spirit (Acts 16:18), God can use such man for His glory for salvation of souls as people could see the miracle of God in the transformation of the ‘Feng Shui’ master to a man of our Living God.
“Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom” (2 Corinthians 3:17). Where there is freedom (liberty) there is joy. Joy when manifest into laughter can and has set many people free from inner hurts and sadness.
God is love. When we have Christ in us, we have the love, joy and peace that Christ is. God is our very joy and the joy of the Lord is our strength (Nehemiah 8:10). The feeling or emotion of joy follows our faith and is the emotional response to the spiritual reality.
The fruit of joy can be expressed in different ways. Sometimes it can be very bright, loud and lively. People may sing, shout and dance.
Psalm 30:11-12, “You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, that my heart may sing to you and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give you thanks forever.”
A preacher’s wife testified how her life was transformed after the Holy Spirit zapped her. She trembled (Daniel 10:10-11) and burst into joy. Following is the link to her testimony:

Like the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23); the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power (1 Corinthians 4:20). This is Jesus’ DNA and as Paul said, “I will not venture to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me in leading the Gentiles to obey God by what I have said and done --- by the power of signs and miracles, through the power of the Spirit. So from Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum, I have fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ” (Romans 15:18-19).
Our mission is to do what the Lord has anointed us to do; to prepare and equip the people of God to bring not only the gospel of power to their Churches but also the freedom & joy and also to plant new Churches that carry the DNA of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen!
欢笑 -主的喜乐
无论我们在哪传福音,主都会使那地方充满喜乐。
在二零零九年七月二十六日, 当我们第一次在雪兰莪的CKRM万津超自然治疗中心分享时, 主的喜乐就充满了许多在场的会众。一位当地的‘风水’师傅被圣灵感动地大声哭泣。他认罪悔改并且决志跟随我们的主。之后他即刻被主的喜乐大大充满而在会众前欢喜快乐的跳起舞来。
神虽憎恨罪恶,但祂爱罪人。就像从巫鬼得释放的看命女子(使徒行传16:18),神可以使用这样一个人彰显祂的荣耀, 拯救世上的灵魂。人们可以目睹神如何神迹般的翻转这位‘风水’师傅成为我们永活真神的一名仆人。
“主就是那灵;主的灵在那里,那里就得以自由”(歌林多后书 3:17)。哪里有自由(不被约缩)哪里就有喜乐。当喜乐彰显为欢笑时,能够并且也已经使许多人的内在伤害和忧伤得着释放。
神是爱。当我们有耶稣在我们里面时,我们就拥有耶稣的爱, 喜乐和平安。神就是我们的喜乐而耶和华的喜乐是我们的力量。(尼希米记 8:10).喜乐的感觉或情绪跟随我们的信心并且是我们属灵真实的情绪反应。
喜乐的果子以不同的方式表达自己。有时非常明亮, 大声和活泼。人们可能会唱歌, 喊叫或跳舞。
诗篇 30:11-12, “你已将我的哀哭变为跳舞,将我的麻衣脱去,给我披上喜乐,好叫我的灵歌颂你,并不住声。 耶和华 ─ 我的神啊,我要称谢你,直到永远!”
一位传道者的妻子见证她的生命如何被圣灵“电” 到后而改变。她颤抖 (但以理书 10:10-11) 并且发出笑声。以下的网址是她的见证:
http://www.ckrm.org/?p=583 (一个美好的经历)
就如圣灵所结的果子,就是仁爱、喜乐、和平、忍耐、恩慈、良善、信实、温柔、节制。 (加拉太书 5:22-23); 神的国不在乎言语,乃在乎权能。(歌林多前书 4:20)。这是耶稣的基因, 和保罗所说的∶“除了基督藉我做的那些事,我什么都不敢提,只提他藉我言语作为,用神迹奇事的能力,并圣灵的能力,使外邦人顺服;甚至我从耶路撒冷,直转到以利哩古,到处传了基督的福音。”(罗马书 15:18-19)。
我们的使命是做主膏我们做的事;就是准备和装备神的子民不但把福音的大能带回自己的教会, 也带回自由和喜乐, 还有设立带着耶稣基因的新教会。阿门!
Praise God we are going to be busy in this new season.
Coming to share at the 10 am Discipleship Class and the 1 pm Today’s Youth Supernatural Ministry on 19th July 2009 has certainly not been in vain, after witnessing the new and amazing things that God is doing in CKRM Singapore. The last time I shared at CKRM Singapore was on 21st June 2009, and I felt the anointing was rather low then. However, this trip was amazing.
In 1 Samuel 10:6, Samuel told Saul “The Spirit of the Lord will come upon you in power, and you will prophesy with them; you will be changed into a different person”.
Just like Saul, Sis Gloria was changed into a different person, when the power of the Lord came upon her. Watching her prophesying under the anointing was indeed entertaining and pleasing to the King of Glory. If we had thought that we had seen the best at CKRM, then this feat would have knocked us off our chairs, when she prophesied to the ten leaders of CKRM after dinner with the unique manifestation & manner it was conducted.
The Church, the ministry and our own spiritual life must grow from strength to strength, power to power and glory to glory. However, if we are not growing and also lacking in provision & finances, we will need to stop the ministry and go down on our knee to seek God to reveal to us the reason.
If God could provide for the Israelites whom He was not pleased with, for 40 years in the desert, imagine the abundant blessing He would give to those whom He is pleased.
True to the word given, we will be having a busy time, with “The Finger of God” ministry just commenced in July at CKRM Malacca, and the soft launched of our new CKRM Church at Banting, Selangor. This new CKRM Church will be commissioned in September 2009.
We can never be wrong to do what God tells us to do.
新加坡CKRM的新季节 (第二部份)
赞美神! 我们在新的季节里会很忙碌。
在七月十九日目睹了神在新加坡CKRM 所做的既新鲜又奇妙的事物后, 觉得一大清早赶来十点的门徒训练班和下午一点的青少年超自然事工分享绝对是没有白费。上一次来新加坡CKRM分享是在二零零九年六月二十一日。我觉得当时的恩膏相当微弱。不过, 这趟前来的经历真让人感到惊讶。
在撒母耳记上10:6,撒母耳对扫罗说:“耶和华的灵必大大感动你,你就与他们一同受感说话;你要变为新人。”
就像扫罗, Gloria 姐妹在神的恩膏下变成了另一个人。看她在恩膏下发预言的确娱乐了我们的荣耀之王并且讨祂的喜悦。如果我们以为我们已经看到 CKRM 最好的, 那若看见当天晚饭后, 在她为CKRM十位领袖发预言时的独特彰显和姿态,真会让我们从椅子上跌下来。
无论是教会的事工或我们个人的属灵生命,一定是要力上加力, 能上加能和荣上加荣。反过来说 如果我们没有成长而且缺乏资源和金钱, 那我们需要停止事工, 屈膝在地求神向我们显明原因。
如果神能为祂不喜悦的以色列子民在旷野供应了四十年, 试想一下, 祂会如何丰丰盛盛地祝福那些祂所喜悦的的人。
就如我们从神所领受的话, 我们会忙碌。忙着七月在马六甲CKRM刚开始的“神的手指头”的 事工和我们在雪兰莪的CKRM Advisory Centre (咨询 中心). 这个新的CKRM教会将在二零零九年 九月正式开始。
我们照着神的指示去做是永远不会错的!
At the age of 52, a prophesy was given to me that God might not use me mightily as in the 5 fold ministry but as long as I remained faithful to God my latter life will be better than my former.
After retirement, sickness like arthritis, gout and hypertension slowly began to creep into my body. My desire had been to retire with a good life where I was sickness free. As I remained faithful, I held on to the prophesy given by a servant of God before my retirement. My sickness was under control with proper medication.
Upon reaching 70 years old, life has opened a new chapter. As usual, hypertension and diabetes were under control with medicine. Blood sugar level was rather high with a reading of above 7.0 taken after fasting.
Recently Ps Rajendren prayed for healing upon my sickness. At CKRM, during “The Finger of God” healing meeting, Ps Paul prayed for my diabetes and the blood sugar reading went below 6.0. Praise God as I believed my diabetes has been healed by God.
Before this, I couldn’t do a lot of work with my hand as my hands were weak. Coming to CKRM and with God’s anointing upon me, my hands began to regain strength. Furthermore, walking under God’s anointing has healed my relationship with my son. I always pondered how my son felt about me as a father? I began to notice my son began to respect and showed thankfulness towards me for all that I had given to him as a father.
My wife was suffering from a backache problem all this while. The pain was so serious that she had to rest during shopping or even squat to relief the pain. Treatment by specialist did not help much. She needed to take medicine or rather painkiller to reduce the pain. Interestingly during a meeting at CKRM, Ps Paul told me that the anointing upon me was very strong and he asked me to pray for my wife. I obeyed and prayed for my wife. Since then, the pain had gone and my wife had been healed completely. My wife could even do gardening and “cangkul” for an hour in the garden. I sincerely believed when God’s anointing comes upon a believer, he/she can do anything with the power of God!
Praise and thanks unto Jesus our healer and deliverer. Amen.

Pastor's Footnote: After the Lord commanded us to set up the leadership training centre in Malacca, the Lord flashed the name of Bro Wong upon our co-founder Ps Esther that Bro Wong would lead us to the premise. Bro Wong made the arrangment for us to view the premise. Upon entering the premise, the fire of God came upon my right palm and the presence of God came upon Ps Esther as a confirmation that the premise was His choice.

Wong Ah Sang弟兄的见证- 神的信实
我五十二岁那年, 有预言说神可能不会在五重职事大大使用我,但只要我忠心于神, 我的晚年会比我的早年来得好。
退休后,如关节炎,痛风和高血压的疾病开始慢慢地在我的身体蔓延。我的心愿是能在退休后过着无病痛的美好生活。因我忠于神,我谨守神仆人在我退休前所发的预言。我的疾病在服药物下受控制。
抵达七十岁时,我的生命开始了新的一页。 如往常,高血压和糖尿病在服药物下受控制。血糖量在禁食后的指数是7.0以上, 偏高。
最近Rajendren 牧师为我的疾病祷告医治。在 CKRM“神的手指头”的 事工时,保罗牧师为我的糖尿病祷告后, 我的血糖指数低过6.0。赞美神! 我相信神已医治我的糖尿病。
从前, 因我的手无力, 很多事我都不能用手去做。来到CKRM领受神的恩膏在我身上后,我的手开始恢复力量。除此之外,行在神的恩膏下, 神也医治我和我儿子的关系。以往 我时常在想我的儿子对我这个爸爸有什么看法? 最近我注意到我的儿子开始对我表示感恩和尊敬。
我的妻子一向来都有背痛的问题。疼痛严重到她在超级市场购物时都须要休息或蹲下来好减轻疼痛。专科医生的治疗没有很大的帮助。她需要吃药或服止痛药来减轻疼痛。有趣的, 在一次的CKRM聚会,保罗牧师告诉我在我身上的恩膏很强并且叫我为我的妻子祷告。我顺服并为我的妻子祷告。从此之后, 疼痛不见了而我的妻子已被完全医治。现在我的妻子甚至可以做园丁,并且在园子里 “翻土” 一个小时。我真诚的相信当神的恩膏在一个信徒身上时,他/她能凭着神的能力做任何事!
赞美感谢耶稣,我们的医治和释放者! 阿门。

牧师的留言:在主吩咐我们在马六甲设立领袖训练中心后, 主把Wong弟兄的名字放在我们的创办人, 保罗牧师和以斯帖牧师的心上, 启示以斯帖牧师这位弟兄将会带领他们到神为CKRM预备的圣所。当Wong弟兄安排我们去观看圣所时。当天当我们一踏进入会所, 神的火就降在我的右手掌,而神的同在降在以斯帖牧师身上,以此印证这是祂为CKRM所预备的。
马六甲 22、07、2009
Jesus said in John 14:21, “Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him.” God’s holiness for his people is to live by faith, obeying His commands & voice.
Only with holiness, then we can win any battle against the enemy and holiness means walking within the will of the Father --- absolutely uncompromised obedience --- walking in God’s holiness and requirement as reflected in His message to the seven Churches.
Jonathan Edwards quotes: “A true love of God must begin with a delight in his holiness.” If we cannot love God whom we have not seen, how can we love our brother whom we have seen (1 John 4:20-21).
God disciplines those He loves and He punishes everyone He accepts as a son (Hebrews 12:6). Few times, He commanded us not to interfere/intercede for those He wanted to discipline. We must obey his voice because we love and fear Him.
Those who lack the knowledge of God’s way (Exodus 33:13, Isaiah 55:8) people might think we are hard and they quote 1 Corinthians 13 hinting that we lack love within us. Some were even angry that we have not demonstrated our love. Paul called such thoughts ‘carnal’ as they have not learned to walk in the Spirit. For us, who shall we listen to; to obey and please God or to disobey and please men?
Everytime when being confounded with such situation, we must choose the former. We can never make a wrong move by listening to what He tells us to do.
A man of God wrote: “Listen to God’s word rather than the words of the critics and the naysayers, and your faith will be built up to the point where you can see past the barriers and the obstacles that might otherwise keep you from finishing the work to which God has called you. I am surprised at how many people in this modern world try to tell God what to think and how to act. Our society is full of people trying to act like Jehovah. When you begin to obey, that’s when they start to criticise. These people need to think less but believe and obey more.”
However, if we are serving to build the kingdom of God, compromising obedience to God by giving in to men out of fear of offending them, is already a sin when we opposed God.
Paul wrote to Timothy in 2 Timothy 2:25-26, “Those who oppose him he must gently instruct, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth, and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will.”
Ever since the ministry of CKRM commences, we depend on His power and glory to come and bless the people. When miracles are absent, so is the glory of God which is the presence of Jesus.
Acts 4:13, “When they saw the courage of Peter & John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus.”
Billy Graham is credited with saying, “Ninety-five percent of today’s church activities would continue if the Holy Spirit were removed from us. In the early Church, ninety-five percent of all her activities would have stopped if the Holy Spirit were removed.”
We will not compromise with disobedience to the commands & voice of God. We choose rather have the critics than to grief the Holy Spirit with our disobedience. With the absence of the Holy Spirit in our midst, CKRM would have no ministry to talk about and has to close shop.
我爱天父并且照祂的吩咐去行。(約翰福音 14:31)
耶稣在約翰福音 14:21说, “有了我的命令又遵守的,这人就是爱我的;爱我的必蒙我父爱他,我也要爱他,并且要向他显现。” 神对祂子名圣洁的标准是:凭信心而活, 遵守祂的诫命和声音。
唯有圣洁,我们才可以胜过敌人的任何诡计。何谓圣洁?就是活在天父的旨意里---完全的降服,无妥协的服从---神的圣洁和要求就如祂给予七个教会的信息。
乔纳森爱德华引说: “对神的真爱必须从喜悦祂的圣洁开始”。若我们不能爱没有看见的神, 又怎能爱我们所看见的弟兄 (约翰一书 4:20-21)。
因为主所爱的,祂必管教,又鞭打凡所收纳的儿子 (希伯來书 12:6)。 好几次, 祂吩咐我们不要干涉或为那些祂要管教的人代祷。我们听从祂的声音和敬畏祂服从祂的指示。
那些缺乏神思路知识的人(出埃及记 33:13, 以赛亚书 55:8) 认为我们很无情而引用歌林多前書 13章, 暗示我们缺乏爱。更有些因我们没有展示我们的爱而感到愤怒。保罗称这为 ‘属肉体的’ 因为他们还没有学会如何行走在灵里。至于我们, 是应该顺从神?讨祂的喜悦呢? 还是为了讨人的欢心而违背神?
每次面对这样的局面,我们都选择顺从神,讨祂的喜悦。我们听从祂叫我们做的事就不会走错任何一步。
一个神的仆人这样写: "你只要听从神的话 ,而不是那些批评家或负面派的话语, 这样你的信心就会被建立。你就能跳过围墙胜过阻拦,来完成天父所召你做的事。我很惊讶这时代 有那么多人在叫神要怎么想和怎么做。我们的社会有太多自以为自己是耶和华,自己是神的人。当你顺从神的指示去做,这些自以为是的人就开始批评。这些人应该少用头脑, 多用心灵来相信和服从。”
不过, 如果我们是在建立神的国度, 无论别人怎么说,我们都应该顺服神。 为了害怕冒犯人而对人妥协 ,不顺服神, 违背神, 是罪。
保罗在提摩太后书 2:25-26 写给提摩太讲到, “用温柔劝戒那抵挡的人;或者神给他们悔改的心,可以明白真道,叫他们这已经被魔鬼任意掳去的,可以醒悟,脱离他的网罗。”
自从CKRM 的事工开始到现在, 我们依靠的是祂的能力和荣耀来祝福人们。如果没有神迹就是没有神的荣耀, 也就是没有耶稣的同在。
在使徒行传 4:13, “他们见彼得、约翰的胆量,又看出他们原是没有学问的小民,就希奇,认明他们是跟过耶稣的”
Billy Graham曾这样说过, “就算圣灵已离开, 今日教会九十五八仙的活动还可以继续。换成是早期的教会, 如果圣灵离开,九十五八仙的活动就要停止了。”
我们不会对不顺从神的吩咐或声音妥协。我们宁可有批评家好过因我们的不顺服神 使圣灵优伤。因为如果没有圣灵的同在, CKRM 就没有事工可言而必须关门大吉。
在我十四岁的时候,有一次在很深的敬拜中时,我在异象中看到自己去到耶稣的十字架前。那时候我看到耶稣挂在那里,我问耶稣:“主啊你为什么挂在那里?”耶稣简单的回答:“就是为了你!”那一句话深深的打碎我的心,我整个人垮在耶稣面前痛哭,从此,我深深的,无尽的爱着我的主耶稣,没有什么能够使我和主再分离,那时候,我才明白圣经所说:爱如死之坚强…宁愿死,也不再叫耶稣受羞愧。
昨天,在CKRM的时候,保罗牧师在圣灵的带领下问:“谁愿意背起十字架?”当我走出去的时候,我感受到神的爱在空气中环绕着我,于是我举起双手,保罗牧师把十字架放在我的手中。当他把十字架放在我的手中时,圣灵马上充满我,我感觉我整个人深深的拥抱着十字架,我忍不住的痛哭在神的面前,我感受到耶稣为我钉十字架的心情,他的爱、他的降服、他为了我这罪人而放弃他天上的荣华,甘愿成为人的样式,走上十字架的路,为我担当一切的羞愧、责骂、痛苦、忧伤、被神和人离弃……
第一次看见十字架,主让我开始爱上他,这一次,我知道主要我完全的降服他,顺服他至死。主让我明白,我们在这世上,并不是要建立自己的国度,而是建立神的国度。我们被召并不是要作伟大出名的勇士,而是像主耶稣,舍弃自己、谦卑的背起十字架跟随主。我愿意让主在我的生命中动工,以至于我自己在主面前越来越渺小,越来越衰退、直到我不再有自己,直到我完全遗失在主的爱里,而让主在我身上越来越显为大、越来越兴盛,直到基督完全的成形在我里面。
我渴望你,主,我愿你教导我走十字架的路,愿你的旨意形成在我身上,愿你保守我的心我的脚步,使我一生爱你、降服至死,而不半途丢弃你的十字架,羞辱你的名。啊们

Docas Testimony – The Cross
When I was fourteen, I saw a vision of myself going to the cross of Jesus while I was immersed in worship. Back then, I saw Jesus hanging on the cross. I asked Jesus:“Lord, why are you hanging there?”Jesus simply replied:“It is for you” That answer shattered my heart and I collapsed before Jesus and wept. Since then, I deeply and fully love my Lord Jesus; there is nothing that can separate me and the Lord. I understood then, what the bible means when it says:”for love is as strong as death…” (Song of Solomon 8:6a). I would rather die than make Jesus suffer shame and humiliation again.
Yesterday, when I was at CKRM, Ps Paul was led by the Spirit to ask:“ Who is willing to carry the cross?” When I walked out,I felt God’s love surrounding me in the air and I lifted up both my hands. When Ps Paul placed a cross on my hand, the Holy Spirit immediately filled me. I felt my entire being embracing the cross deeply; I couldn’t help but wept grievously before God. I felt how Jesus felt when he was on the cross for me; His love, His obedience, His sacrifice by leaving behind the glory in heaven for a sinner like me, becoming a man,going to the cross,bearing all shame for me、rebukes、pain、grief、abandoned by God and men……
When I first saw the cross, I began to love the Lord. This time, I know the Lord wanted me to surrender completely to Him, obey Him unto death. The Lord let me understand that we are in this world not to build our own kingdom but to build God’s kingdom. We are not called to be famous and great warriors,but to be like Jesus, die to self, humbly carry the cross and follow our Lord. I am willing to let God do what He wants in my life; let me become smaller and smaller before the Lord, reduced till I fully die to myself and is totally lost in His love. Let the Lord become bigger and bigger,more and more vigorous in me till Jesus is fully formed within me.
I long for you, Lord. I desire you to teach me the way of the cross,desire your will be done in me, desire you to guard my heart and steps so that I can love you, obey you unto death, not giving up the cross mid-way and shame your Name. Amen

Whenever God wants to lift CKRM Singapore to a new season, He would 1st remove any hindrances to His Glory (house cleaning). So, like a skilled gardener, God began to prune and remove parts of the tree (CKRM Singapore) which has gone bad, before bringing the church to the next level of glory. This is because God has intended the church to display His manifold wisdom and as such, He is also more strict with His household and begins His judgment there (Ephesians 3:10, 1 Peter 4:17).
This is confirmed by a vision God shown a brother whereby he saw a tree with part of its trunk removed. Although the tree was unsightly (with a “V” shaped cut on one side of its trunk), the tree could continue to grow because the part which has gone bad has been removed. If it had not been removed, the rot would spread and eventually destroy the whole tree.
While the “pruning” process was on going, the glory within the house was significantly lower than usual as the hindrances were yet to be dealt with. This situation persisted for a while as the “house cleaning” sent shockwaves through the church and caused the hearts of some to waver and panic.
Though hindrances have been removed, the anointing level was initially low as the worshippers were weighted down by distractions in their minds. The pastor and a director took turns to ask God for forgiveness on behalf of the congregation and to restore the joy of their salvation unto them.
God was gracious and soon, the atmosphere lifted with His glory filling the temple. As Sis Janet anointed Ps Mark and imparted the Shepherd’s anointing to him, heaven opened up and poured down the gifting. The weight of His glory was so strong that Sis Gloria who was standing in the front row, fell under the anointing. The anointing of prophetic came upon Sis Gloria very strongly for the first time in her life and she ministered powerfully under the anointing to many people in the congregation. Fresh anointing also came upon her to entertain the King of Glory. There was much joy in the congregation.
As CKRM enters the new season, God is going to pour down and redistribute His gifting and anointing, so continue to press in.
As His glory returns to the house, we must continue to guard our hearts and minds against the schemes of the enemy. In Numbers, Miriam and Aaron began to talk against Moses because of his Cushite wife, for he had married a Cushite. "Has the LORD spoken only through Moses?" they asked. "Hasn't he also spoken through us?" And the LORD heard this. Unknown to Miriam and Aaron, their irreverence for God’s appointed leader over the Israelites were deemed as sin by God. Miriam was afflicted with leprosy and was banished from the camp for 7 days. God made Himself clear by uttering the following words in Numbers 12:6-9, He said, "Listen to my words: "When there are prophets of the LORD among you, I reveal myself to them in visions, I speak to them in dreams. But this is not true of my servant Moses; he is faithful in all my house. With him I speak face to face, clearly and not in riddles; he sees the form of the LORD. Why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?" The anger of the LORD burned against them, and he left them.
No matter how anointed or gifted we are in the Kingdom of God, we must not grow arrogant or irreverent to the spiritual authority figures God placed in our lives. Be humble and teachable as to keep pride at bay. “Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour” (1 Pet 5:8). We must never grow complacent and off-guard as the devil can use “agents”, Christians who have been deceived by the devil to “infect” the body of Christ. Put on the armour of God, lead a consecrated life and be deeply rooted in the Word of God so that you won’t be an easy prey for the devil. While seasons and people may come and go, God remains faithful to CKRM as we remain faithful to Him. Amen.
新加坡CKRM的新季节 - 郑文忠牧师
每当神要带领新加坡CKRM进入一个新的季节, 祂首先会除去任何拦阻祂荣耀的人或物 (大扫除)。就象一个熟巧的园丁, 神会先开始修剪和除去树上(新加坡CKRM)已经朽坏的部份,然后才能把祂的教会带到更高的荣耀领域。这是因为神要祂的教会展现出得知神百般的智慧。因此, 祂对祂的家户会比较严厉而审判也要从神的家起首 (以弗所书 3:10, 彼得前书 4:17)。
神通过一个异象印证在新加坡CKRM的情况。 在七月十一日,神给一位弟兄看见一棵树,在这异象里,这棵树的其中一树干已朽坏,后来这朽坏的树干被切除了。虽然这树很不雅观 (树干的一边有个 “V” 字形的缺口), 但它能继续生长因为朽坏的部份已经被除去。如果那部份没被除去, 腐烂会扩散并且消灭整棵树。
在这一个月里当 “修剪” 的过程还在进行中时, 圣殿里的荣耀比往常来得低弱因为拦阻还没被清除。这局面维持了好一阵子而 “大扫除” 也震动了整个教会, 使一些人的心动摇恐慌。虽然拦阻已经在七月十一日被清除,当天聚会开始时的恩膏还非常低弱因为敬拜者被心里的困扰压制, 无法专心敬拜神。郑文忠牧师和一位董事轮流代表会众向神认罪悔改,并且求神复兴他们救恩的喜乐。
神是满怀怜悯的,气氛很快的急升而祂的荣耀开始充满了整个圣殿。当Janet姐妹将牧羊的恩膏传递给郑文忠牧师的时候, 天堂敞开并赐下属灵的恩赐。神的荣耀是如此的强烈, 把站在第一排的Gloria姐妹击倒在地上。先知启示的恩膏第一次在她生命里那么强的降在她身上。使她第一次在那么强的恩膏底下大有能力地服侍在场的会众。神分赐给她这新的恩膏好让她娱乐我们的荣耀之王。在场目睹这一切的会众都非常喜乐。
当CKRM跨入一个新的季节时, 神会再次赐下和从新分配祂的恩赐与恩膏, 所以大家要继续努力向神求。
在祂的荣耀再次回到祂的圣殿, 我们必须继续警守我们的心思意念, 警惕仇敌的诡计。在民数记 12:1-2, 摩西娶了古实女子为妻。米利暗和亚伦因他所娶的古实女子,就毁谤他,说:难道耶和华单与摩西说话,不也与我们说话么?这话耶和华听见了。米利暗和亚伦不知在神的眼里, 对祂指定的以色列领袖不敬是罪。米利暗出麻风而被逐出营外七天。神在民数记 12:6-9的话语清楚地显明自己, “耶和华说:你们且听我的 话:你们中间若有先知,我 ─ 耶和华必在异象中向他显现,在梦中与他说话。我的仆人摩西不是这样;他是在我全家尽忠的。我要与他面对面说话,乃是明说,不用谜语,并且他必见我的形像。你们毁谤我的仆人摩西,为何不惧怕呢?" 耶和华就向他们二人发怒而去。”
不管我们在神的国度里有多少恩赐或恩膏,我们都不可变的傲慢或对神在我们属灵生命里所安排的领袖不敬。要有个谦卑授教的心, 好叫骄傲远不可近。“务要谨守,儆醒。因为你们的仇敌魔鬼,如同吼叫的狮子,遍地游行,寻找可吞吃的人”(彼得前书 5:8)。我们不可掉以轻心而放下警戒因为魔鬼可以使用“使者”, 被魔鬼欺骗的基督徒来“感染” 基督的肢体。穿上神的盔甲, 过圣洁的生活和在神的话语深深地扎根才不容易成为魔鬼的猎物。虽然不同的季节有不同的人来来去去, 但我们要象神忠实于CKRM那样忠心于祂。阿门!
