7 January 2010 marks another special day in God’s calendar.

At 7.30 p.m. sharp the house of God was filled with songs of praise and worship. Then Ps Esther shared how God commanded her and Ps Paul to build a Supernatural school in Malacca modeled after Ps Bill Johnson’s Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry in Redding, California. While negotiating the tenancy with Gateway Church, Ps Moses asked Ps Paul & Ps Esther if CKRM has plans to set up a church in Malacca. The immediate answer was “No!”

However, after 5 months of Supernatural Ministry in Malacca, God spoke that He wants CKRM to set up an English Church in Melaka. Upon hearing this, both Ps Esther and Ps Paul struggled, as they are not called to be shepherd. Furthermore, they have already been rejected and isolated by the Christian Communities in Malacca. But God continued to speak to Ps Esther about His heartbeat. God directed Ps Esther to the book of Nehemiah. 1:3 “The Wall of Jerusalem is broken down, and its gates have been burned with fire”. The Lord spoke to Ps Esther: “you have seen it, I want to pour down My spirit on the land, and I want to rebuild the wall of Jerusalem”. Finally both Ps Paul and Ps Esther surrendered to God’s will and repented by obeying. God began to reveal more detail of the setting up of CKRM Church. He also revealed the English Church to commence on 7 January 2010.

God miraculously began to bring in His chosen one to the 4th Joshua Camp. In this camp, Ps Esther was given the first session to share on Prophetic Revelation, instead of the usual last session. When Bro Tan Chin Ming came, the Holy Spirit prompted Ps Paul to call him to receive prophetic word. Not only did the Lord prompted Ps Paul that Bro Tan has a calling of a Pastor, but He also prompted Ps Esther that he is the chosen one to be the shepherd of CKRM Malacca English Church. Not knowing what Bro Tan and his wife had gone through, Ps Paul and Ps Esther asked them to pray about the proposal of being a shepherd to God’s flock.

After Ps Esther’s sharing, Bro Tan shared his testimony which touched the hearts of some people in the congregation. Bro Tan shared he had received many prophesies about his calling over the years. He and his wife have being chasing God for almost 9 years, going from church to church. Yet, he could not find a Spirit filled church until he came to CKRM. This was after much reservation because of the news he heard about CKRM. Bro Tan was even planning to go to Argentina, Toronto or USA to seek the River of Life. Unknown to him, what he was earnestly seeking is just at the backyard in Malacca.

Bro Tan further shared: “God miraculously led and answered my prayer. I told God to give me signs of His calling for my life before end of this year. If nothing happens to me by end of this year, I will not pursue God for His will for my life anymore. I am almost giving up pursuing God. In fact, I was a bit nervous and panic as the deadline is approaching and nothing new is taking place. However, God is so faithful and He led me to CKRM at the right time and place before the end of this year.”

Bro Tan had experienced the baptism of the Holy Spirit in awesome manner from his old church in Melaka in Aug 2001. After an encounter with God, Bro Tan felt there is a hunger and thirst that has not been addressed.

God has been speaking to Bro Tan about building His Kingdom in Malacca. He even had a vivid vision of hell in one of his encounter with God. This vision troubled Bro Tan to pray earnestly for his loved ones and for the lost souls particularly in Malacca.

Bro Tan testified how he disobeyed God and had so many problems and even went into depression twice. He had never imagined this could happen to him. Finally, after all his testimonies about his joy, his pain, his time in the valley and also the goodness of God, he finally has come to the realization of God’s call in his life.

Ps Paul shared that in CKRM every ordination is done by the Holy Spirit. As Ps Esther prayed for Bro Tan and his wife, the “Shekinah” Glory of God was so thick that he was glued to the floor. The spiritual atmosphere was glorious! God gave him a new name (Ps Seth) and a new life. Ps Anna Cheah from Penang and Rev Dr Joseph Tai prayed and blessed Ps Seth and his wife Sis Pauline. This ordination was also witnessed by Dato Phua, Bro Tony Khoo, Bro Tan Kia Jin and leaders from CKRM Singapore, leaders from CKRM Malacca & Banting and many other brothers and sisters in Christ.

Ps Seth was called to duty with the dedication of a child (Darryl) from Seremban. He also prayed for Darryl’s parents, Bro Robert and Sis Cecilia, and even Darryl’s sister at the altar.

Finally the time to dedicate the church came and Bro Wong was chosen by the Holy Spirit to pray a prayer of dedication of CKRM Malacca English Church to the Lord. Isaiah 22:22 says “I will place on his shoulder the key to the house of David; what he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open.”

The Holy Spirit also used Ps Paul to demonstrate His power. Many brothers and sisters were so blessed as the anointing was tangible. It was the outpouring of God’s great works to come. Tommy Tenny said “The burial of man’s glory is the birth of God’s glory.”

2010 will be an exciting year for those who work with God.

马六甲CKRM英语教会正式开始了！(编辑队报道)

二零一零年一月七日,在神的日历里记载了另一个特别的日子。


神的殿在傍晚七点半便开始充满了敬拜赞美的歌声。随着敬拜赞美后，以斯帖牧师分享神如何命令她和保罗牧师在马六甲建立一所模仿比尔强生牧师在加州的超自然学校。在与Gateway 教会洽谈租约时，摩西牧师问保罗牧师和以斯帖牧师CKRM会否计划在马六甲建立教会。当时我们既刻回应“不会”

在马六甲超自然事工建立了五个月后，神开始启示祂要CKRM在马六甲建立英语教会。因为神给保罗牧师和以斯帖牧师的呼召不是牧养的，再说他们一路来被马六甲的基督教团体拒绝和孤立，神的启示使到他们非常挣扎，进退两难。但神不断向以斯帖牧师启示祂的心意。神以尼希米记1:3向以斯帖牧师再次印证祂的心意∶“耶路撒冷的城墙拆毁，城门被火焚烧”。神对以斯帖牧师说：“你看见的，我要把我的灵浇灌在此地，我要重建耶路撒冷的城墙！” 以斯帖牧师最终认罪悔改，顺服于神的旨意在马六甲建立英语教会。接着神开始启示更多的细节包括英语教会要在二零一零年一月七日正式成立等等。
神奇妙的把祂所拣选的仆人带到第四届的约书亚营里。营会的第一段时间是由以斯帖牧师分享预言启示的恩赐。当陈振明弟兄来到营会时，圣灵启示保罗牧师邀请陈弟兄出来领受预言，神也同时启示保罗牧师陈弟兄的呼召是牧师。当他被圣灵击倒在地时，神对以斯帖牧师显明这就是祂所拣选的英语教会牧师。当陈弟兄再次出来领受神的恩膏，神接二连三的印证这就是祂所拣选的仆人。虽然对陈弟兄和他太太的背景和所经历过的毫不知情，以斯帖牧师还是顺服神，把她所领受的传达给陈弟兄和叫他们回去寻求神。
其实陈弟兄在过去许多年已领受了不计其数神对他呼召的预言。自从二零零一年在马六甲的前教会第一次被圣火大大施洗后，与神相遇后的他发现灵里对神的那份饥渴和切慕始终无法得到饱足。他和太太在过去将近九年的日子里不断地到处寻求神。来到CKRM之前，他们去过很多教会却始终无法找到一间圣灵大大浇灌、自由运行的教会。陈弟兄也曾计划要到阿根廷，多伦多或美国去寻找“生命河”，殊不知他所迫切寻求的正在马六甲的后院。

神也不断地提醒陈弟兄要在马六甲建立祂的教会。他也曾在异像中清晰的看到地狱的情景。这异像促使他为所爱的家人和失丧灵魂的救恩迫切的祷告。

振明弟兄也分享他如何不顺服神因而经历许多患难甚至两度陷入意想不到的抑郁症。经历过了人生的酸甜苦辣，走过了死阴幽谷和尝到了神的美善，他终于觉悟神在今生所赐给他的使命。

陈弟兄继续分享：“神奇妙的应许了我的祷告。我祷告神在二零零九年结束前显示祂给我的呼召的蓝图和计划。我也对神说，若在年未结束前，没有任何事情发生在我身上，生活依然不变，我就不再坚持寻求神对我生命的呼召。其实，当年终将近时我真的有点慌张和不知所措因为似乎没有任何新事将发生。 但神是信实的，祂说有就有，祂命立就立！祂在恰当的时间把我带到CKRM来。”

保罗牧师说在CKRM的按立典礼都是由圣灵亲自来执行的。以斯帖牧师为陈弟兄和他太太祝福祷告后，神“舍吉拿”荣耀在按立典礼中厚厚的降在振明弟兄身上导致他像被强力胶紧紧地粘在地上，动弹不得。整个属灵气氛真是荣耀壮观！神赐给振明弟兄一个新的名字（塞特牧师）和新生命。从槟城来的Anna Cheah 牧师和Rev Dr Joseph Tai也为塞特牧师和他的太太Pauline姐妹祝福祷告。拿督Phua, Tony Khoo, Tan Kia Jin弟兄和CKRM新加坡，马六甲，万津的董事、领袖和许多主内的牧师、弟兄姐妹都来见证这神圣的按立典礼！
刚就职的塞特牧师当晚就为从森美兰州来的Robert弟兄和Cecilia姐妹的儿子举行奉献礼。接着圣灵也拣选了马六甲CKRM董事之一的黄弟兄把马六甲CKRM英语教会奉献给神。以賽亞書22:22说道：“我必将大卫家的钥匙放在他肩头上。他开，无人能关；他关，无人能开。”圣灵也使用保罗牧师释放祂的能力，许多弟兄姐妹在圣灵大能的浇灌下也得蒙祝福。

神惊叹的大作为将一一的涌现。汤米坦尼说“人类荣誉和虚荣的埋葬便是神荣耀的诞生。”二零一零年对那些与神同工的人来说，将会是非常兴奋的一年. 阿门！

牧师留言：

塞特牧师拥有大学工程系荣誉学位文凭。现在在一间跨国电子公司担任发展部经理。他的太太是一名教师。两个儿子也被神的灵充满和对圣灵非常敏锐。神的心意是兴起更多青少年带着神的大能打败黑暗权势。我们的会众大都是专业人士如学校教师，律师，工程师等。。。许多是从巴生和临近的州府如柔佛州，森美兰州来到被神装备和预备进入神的呼召。
