在四十年的旷野中,神虽然不喜悦以色列人的作为却依然供应他们所需的一切。更何况是那些愿意而又甘心听从的,他们必吃地上的美物 (以赛亞书1:19)
我顺服神和我的服事伙伴以斯帖牧师,在二零零七年共同创办了新加坡基督国度崇高掌权基督中心。虽然这都不符合逻辑和人的理性观点,因为我们不但没有受过正式的神学训练,而且在性格和文化背景都格格不入。这真是非常怪异的配搭。我当时虽然信主不是很久,却毅然顺服神的声音。
神的旨意就是要灭绝智慧人的智慧,违反传统和冒犯人所教导的条例(以赛亞书29:13-14)。
因着我顺服神凭信心踏出回应神对我生命中的呼召,神医治了我长久以来的高血压和前列腺的病。出埃及记15:26,神说∶“你若留意听耶和华─你 神的话,又行我眼中看为正的事,留心听我的诫命,守我一切的律例,我就不将所加与埃及人的疾病加在你身上,因为我─耶和华是医治你的。”
除此以外,神不断祝福CKRM拥有充足的资源,资金和带领许多同工来服事主。我们也不需要举办任何的筹款活动。
这事工也结出美好的圣灵果子。许多基督徒被医治,从不良嗜好和捆绑中被释放出来。属灵生命得着重建和复兴。
神更是祝福我一只‘Apple’ 32GB储存量的iPhone 手提电话和一辆作为事工用途的全新丰田凯美瑞2.4V轿车。这确实是这农历新年里最美好的礼物。
“耶和华啊,你一切所造的都要称谢你”(诗篇145:10)。愿一切的荣耀都归给神!

Bob Jones, Sr 说道: “我们爱神有多深的严峻考验就是我们顺服神的旨意有多少。”

For 40 years, the Lord provided for the Israelites in the desert even though He was displeased with them. However, for those who are willing and obedient, they will eat from the best of the land (Isaiah 1:19).
I obeyed the Lord in setting up CKRM Christian Centre Ltd, Singapore in April 2007 with my co-founder and ministering partner, Ps Esther Chow. Though it was against logic and human reasoning as both of us have never had any formal theological training and I being young in faith, we just obeyed the voice of God. It was such an odd pairing with a crash of personalities, characters and cultural differences.
God’s motive is to offend tradition and rules taught by men (Isaiah 29:13-14).
Due to my willingness to step out in faith to His calling upon my life, God healed me of my long suffering of hypertension and prostate. Exodus 15:26, The Lord said, “If you listen carefully to the voice of the Lord, your God and do what is right in His eyes, if you pay attention to His commands and keep all His decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the Lord who heals you.”
In addition, God has been blessing CKRM with abundant provisions, finance and led many co-workers to the ministry. We have never needed to resort to any campaign of fund raising.
The ministries bear fruits with many Christians being healed, set free from addiction and deep bondage and their spiritually lives restored and revived.
The Lord even blessed me with a ‘Apple’ 32GB IPhone and the ministry with a brand-new Toyota Camry 2.4V which are the most wonderful gifts for this Chinese New Year.
"All Your works will praise You, O Lord" (Psalm 145:10). All Glory to God!

Bob Jones, Sr quote: “The acid test of our love for God is obedience to His Word”.
The Lord wants CKRM School to be modelled after Bill Johnson’s supernatural school is because Bill Johnson is a revivalist and he will not compromise with the things of God.
Bill Johnson shared in his new book that when he was invited to return to Bethel Church to take up the senior pastor post, he spoke to the congregation that he was a revivalist and if they didn’t want the move of the Spirit of God it would certainly hinder the outpouring of God’s great works. To hear from God and obey Him is not an option. The congregation responded positively with a unanimous support. The outpouring began almost immediately. Lives were changed, bodies were healed, divine encounters increased in amazing proportions. Despite the signs, wonders and miracles that God performed, approximately 1,000 people left the Church just like the old days in the book of Exodus where the heart of the Israelites still turned away from God after witnessing God’s miracles and built their own golden calf. Today Bill’s congregation is growing fast with miracles increasing in astonishing ways.
The reason why many people have been blessed at CKRM through awesome healing, set free from addiction and bondages and their spiritual lives revived is because of the strong presence of God in the meeting. The ministry continues to grow from power to power, glory to glory.
God holds Ps Esther and me accountable for CKRM and not the people, who condemn, ridicule and judge us. Being accountable to God, we will not compromise with our obedience. We fear only God, not men. Our lives mean nothing. It means nothing to us except living to serve and work with God. At the end of our lives, we are answerable to God, not to the critics. God gives His Spirit without measure (John 3:34). Christians who are filled with the fullness of God are Christians who walk in the Spirit. Those who have reached a state of walking in the Spirit, no longer judge by what they see with their eyes or decide by what they hear with their ears (Isaiah 11:2-3, 2 Corinthians 4:18).
Ps Sergio at Bethel Church recently shared that as human we cannot have the holiness even for an hour. We need His presence (consuming Fire) to sanctify and purify us which conclude that a moment in His presence is most precious than a 1000 years outside His presence.
Let us take Paul’s advice to work out our salvation with fear and trembling (Philippians 2:12) so that we will be so busy repenting for our sins that we do not have the time to be great critic judging others like the world. James 4:12 “There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. But you—who are you to judge your neighbor?”
年除夕与万津教会弟兄姐妹一起吃团年饭(第二部份)
神要马六甲CKRM 训练学院模仿比尔强生的超自然学校是因为比尔强生是个神兴起的推动复兴者和他对一切违反神旨意的事绝不妥协。
.比尔强生在他的新书里分享,当他被邀请回到伯特利教会担任主任牧師时,他告诉会众他是推动复兴者,若他们不接受圣灵的运行就一定会拦阻神大能浇灌的作为。聆听神和顺服他是势在必行的。会众都一致赞同和支持。神大能几乎同时间浇灌下来。生命被改变,身体被医治,与神相遇的惊叹经历不断的加增。纵然神成就了不少的神迹奇事,还是有将近一千人离开伯特利教会。就如在旧约的出埃及记里的以色列人见证了神的神迹还是选择离弃神而为自己制造金牛犊。今天,比尔的会众不但急速增长而惊人的神迹也随着激增。
很多人透过CKRM的事工得大能医治,从捆绑与不良嗜好中被释放和属灵生命得着改变的原因,皆因为聚会中有神大能的同在。这事工不断地在能上加能,荣上加荣的增长。
神把CKRM的责任托附在以斯帖牧师和我的身上,而不是那些毁谤,奚落和审判我们的人。为了不负神所托的责任,我们决不会对任何不顺服神的事妥协。我们只怕神不怕人。我们的生命本来就不算什么。如果我们活着不是为了事奉神和与神同工,这一生将会是毫无意义。在我们生命的终站我们是向神交代,而不是那些批评论断的人交代。神赐圣灵是没有限量的(約翰福音3:34)。被圣灵充满的基督徒是那些在灵里运行的基督徒。那些在灵里运行到某阶段的人将是行审判不凭眼见,断是非也不凭耳闻的(以赛亚书11:2-3,歌林多后书4:18)。
伯特利教会的塞尔吉奥牧师在近期的分享说,人决不能拥有一小时的圣洁。我们需要祂的同在(神的烈火)来洁净和把我们分别为圣。这意味着与神同在片刻的珍贵远远超越了在世界没有神同在的千年。
让我们听从保罗的忠告,恐惧战兢的做成我们得救的工夫。那我们便会忙着为自己认罪悔改而无暇成为大审判家,像世界般的批评论断他人。雅各书4:12“设立律法和判断人的,只有一位,就是那能救人也能灭人的。你是谁,竟敢论断别人呢?”
Many Christians could never understand why Ps Esther and I have to forgo such a precious time to have CNY eve dinner with our brethrens at CKRM Banting Church instead of with our own biological siblings. This is the desire of the Lord’s heart so that my own CKRM brothers & sisters are placed first importance. I hope being the head of the family, my own biological siblings could understand because my family reunion was lunch on the 1st day of CNY instead of the usual traditional CNY eve.
The Lord prompted me to a verse that when a disciple told Jesus that his mother and brothers were outside wanting to see Jesus, Jesus looked at those seated around him and said, “Here are my mother and my brothers! Whoever does God’s will is my brother and sister and mother” (Mark 3:32-35).
Ps Esther and I were both founders of CKRM Christian Centre. The Lord commanded us to pass the baton of ministries of CKRM Singapore to the younger generation and to set up a training centre in Malacca. It was not easy to hand over something which we have built and grown fond of, yet forgetting that it’s God who builds His house, not us (Psalm 127:1).
We obeyed and had to forgo our comfort zones of our homes in Singapore, coming to Malacca to commence a ministry hardly knowing any Christian leader, except for a brief acquaintance with Bro Wong. Although I could easily afford to stay in a more comfortable house in Malacca, I have to obey God to stay in a shop house which is CKRM’s Sanctuary as the Lord wants us to be like Moses having to spend 40 days with Him in the mountain.
Obedience to God is very important to us and we have experienced and bear witness of His faithfulness where our obedience have great access to His grace, mercy and favor. God healed me of my long suffering of hypertension and prostate. Besides being ridiculed, rejected and isolated by the Christian communities in Malacca, CKRM grew and we were able to establish the local leadership and handed the ministries to them within 10 months. CKRM also managed to set up 2 ministries in Selangor within a few months after coming to Malacca.
God puts a thorn to every Christian He has called to a ministry so as to test their obedience and faithfulness and to keep them humble as to depend and trust in Him, rather than relying on own flesh (Jeremiah 17:5-8).
Apostle Paul pleaded with the Lord three times to remove the thorn in his flesh but the Lord told him, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness” (2 Corinthians 12:7-10). Our staying in the training centre is indeed a thorn in the flesh for both of us. For this reason, some Churches are discrediting and ridiculing us by brushing aside the fact that God’s anointed has greater responsibility to be kept holy as God will not tolerate sins. We cannot have the power of King without the purity of Priest (Revelation 1:6).
God is very strict with those He anoints. The Lord would draw our attention by disciplining us if we are insensitive to His leading (Romans 8:14) especially when if we are not attentive to His command. His Presence (Anointing) can leave us without we even knowing it, if we disobey Him just like the presence of God left King Saul because of his disobedience (1 Samuel 16:14).

年除夕与万津教会弟兄姐妹一起吃团年饭(第一部份)
很多基督徒无法了解为什么以斯帖牧师和我必须放弃和自己有血缘关系的亲人在一起的宝贵时间,而选择和万津教会的弟兄姐妹一起吃团年饭。这乃是神的心意要我看重主内的弟兄姐妹。我希望成为一家之主,和我有血缘关系的亲人能够体谅,因着我家人的团年饭不是在传统的新年除夕而是一反常态的在年初一的午餐时刻。
主启示我一段经节说到门徒告诉主耶稣祂的母亲和弟兄在门外等着要见祂,耶稣看着那些坐在祂身旁的说:“看哪,我的母亲,我的弟兄。凡遵行神旨意的人就是我的弟兄姐妹和母亲了”(马可3:32-35)
以斯帖牧师和我都是基督国度崇高掌权基督中心的创办人。主命令我们把新加坡CKRM事工的棒子交给新一代的领袖后在马六甲设立超自然训练学校。要交出自己亲手建立和有了深厚感情的事工的确不容易。更别忘了是耶和华建造了房屋,不是我们。(诗篇127:1)
我们顺服神离开了我们新加坡舒适的家,来到这人生地不熟的马六甲来建立事工,除了有泛泛之交的黄弟兄,我们几乎不认识任何教会领袖。虽然在马六甲我有能力住在一间更舒适的房子,但我必须顺服神的旨意住在一间店屋里,就是马六甲CKRM的会所,因为神要我们像摩西一样的花时间和祂在山上四十昼夜。
顺服神对我们来说是非常重要的因我们经历和亲眼见证了祂的信实。我们的顺服将让我们得到祂更丰盛的恩典,怜悯和恩宠。神医治了我长久以来的高血压和前列腺。纵然被马六甲的基督教团体奚落,拒绝和被孤立,CKRM继续不断的增长。在少过十个月的时间我们就把马六甲事工的棒子交给了神在当地所兴起的领袖。也在踏入马六甲的几个月后在雪兰莪设立了两个事工。
神在每一个祂所呼召的基督徒身上都放了一根刺来试验他们的顺服和忠心,也借着这根刺来使他们谦卑地依靠和信任祂,而不是倚靠自己血肉的膀臂。(耶利米书17:5-8)
使徒保罗三次求主叫这刺离开他,但主却对他说∶“我的恩典够你用的,因为我的能力是在人的软弱上显得完全”(歌林多后书12:7-10)。要我们住在训练中心对我们来说是我们心中的那根刺。也因着这原因,一些教会毁谤和奚落我们但却忘了神恩膏的仆人必须承受更大的责任和保持圣洁因神决不容忍罪的存在。我们不能拥有君王的能力却没有祭师的圣洁(启示录1:6)。
神对祂恩膏仆人的要求是非常严格的。当我们不敏锐于圣灵的带领时,神会以纪律的方式来提醒我们(罗马书8:14),尤其是在我们没有专心留意祂的命令时。神的同在(恩膏)有可能因着我们的不顺服而离开而我们还瞢然不知。就好比神的同在因着扫罗王的不顺服而离开他(撒母耳记上16:14)。

A friend from my previous church brought me to CKRM last year, and it was just before the 3rd Joshua Camp. Being someone who is always hunger for the great move of the Holy Spirit, I was amazed by what was happening with the strong presence of God!
Before coming to CKRM, God has been speaking to me through His word in Isaiah 61:1: “The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners”. Since then, I have been declaring this word of His upon my life, and I know my calling is in the area of deliverance.
Since coming to CKRM, the Lord has been anointing and empowering me. With the help of the Holy Spirit, I am able to cast out demons from people without getting hurt, because the demon recognizes the anointing (Acts 19:15-16). I rejoice with God when I see that person has been set free.
In November 2009, as I was worshipping God, I received a vision. I saw myself holding a few cheques in my hand, and I could even see the bank’s logo in them. I told the Lord I know I must leave my previous church to join CKRM but I had taken a loan from them which I am not able to settle yet. God then gave me this verse to declare: The Blessings of the Lord it makes rich and He add no sorrow to it. Every time when I pray, I will be led to declare this verse. I also feel the peace and joy of the Lord within me.
On the 23rd of January 2010, my husband and I were amazed at how God work things out for us. Pastor Seth Tan told us God has touched his heart, and that it is the Lord’s heartbeat for Pastor Seth to settle my debts with my previous church, so that we can be set free completely. When Pastor Seth took out his cheque book, I was surprised to see the same bank logo that I saw in the vision. God is truly awesome! Pastor Seth said he had wanted to settle all the outstanding balance in one payment. However, God told him to make a few monthly payments instead. This is in accordance to the vision which I saw, come to pass. I shared with Pastor Seth the vision I had. Not only that, Pastor Seth’s younger son also received a vision. All these are confirmation of what Pastor Seth received is truly from the Lord.
I thank God for choosing me and my family to be part of what He is doing through the CKRM ministry. My husband had responded to countless altar call at church to be healed of the virus attacked in his brain which he suffered for a long time. However, by the grace of God and with the leading of the Holy Spirit at CKRM, my husband was completely healed after just two altar call without anyone laying hands to pray for him. He is set free, empowered and able to move in the Spirit with the gift of discernment. Now, I begin to understand the importance of God’s anointing if we want to be a witness unto Jesus and to serve Him effectively.
Thank you Pastor Paul, Pastor Esther, Pastor Seth, Bro Joel, Bro.Wong and all the family members of CKRM. I believe because of your obedience and faithfulness toward your calling, God will continue to pour His Spirit without measure in CKRM!
神透过马六甲CKRM 祝福我的家人和把我们从债务困锁中赎出来 - Ruth Kok 姐妹
我是在去年第三届约书亚营之前,由我前教会的一位朋友带领来到CKRM 的聚会。一直以来非常渴慕经历圣灵大能运行的我,对神大能同在和圣灵在CKRM的作为感到咋舌。
在还没去到CKRM之前,神就不断的以以赛亚书61:1向我说话 –“主耶和华的灵在我身上;因为耶和华用膏膏我,叫我传好信息给谦卑的人,差遣我医好伤心的人,报告被掳的得释放,被囚的出监牢”。因此我不断的以祂的话对自己的生命宣告,也清楚知道神对我生命的呼召是在释放这方面的事工。
自从参加了CKRM的聚会后,神不断地恩膏和装备我。在圣灵的帮助下我竟能够在毫无受伤的情况下把邪灵从人们的身上赶出,这是因为邪灵认得神的恩膏(使徒行传19:15-16)。当我看到人们从捆绑中被释放,我心与主同乐。
二零零九年十一月,当我在敬拜主时,我看到了异像。我看到我手中握着几张支票,并看到支票上银行的标志。我告诉神我知道我必须离开旧教会到CKRM去,但我向旧教会所借的款项还无法偿还。神给了我这经文来宣告∶耶和华所赐的福使人富足,并不加上忧虑。每次我祷告时,我会被引领来宣告这经文。我心中也感到平安和喜乐与我同在。
在二零一零年一月二十三日,我和我先生对神如何为我们解决难题感到非常诧异和惊叹!塞特牧师告诉我们神感动他为我们偿还我们在前教会所拖欠的借款,是神的心意要我们重得自由。当赛特牧师拿出他的支票簿时,我看到了在异像中所看到的银行标志,神真的是太奇妙了!赛特牧师告诉我们他原本想要一次过为我们还清所欠的款项,神却要他分成几个月来还清。这和我所看到的异像刚好吻合。我过后与塞特牧师分享了我的异像。塞特牧师的小儿子也看到异像。这些都印证了塞特牧师所领受的是真是从神而来的。
我感谢神拣选我和我的家人成为祂在CKRM事工所要成就旨意的一部份。我的先生长久以来脑部被细菌感染,在前教会时他曾经回应了无数次台前的呼召,希望那长久以来被细菌感染的脑细胞能得到医治。但都不得要领,感谢主,因着祂的恩典和怜悯把我们带到CKRM,我先生在两次的台前呼召,而且没有人为他按手祷告的情况下,竟完全的得到医治!哈利路亚!赞美主!神不只释放他,使他得自由了!同时神不断在装备恩膏他,现在他能够在灵里运行,并且分辨诸灵。经过了这一切,我终于明白要成为耶稣基督的好见证和更有效的事奉祂,拥有神的恩膏是必要的条件。
谢谢您保罗牧师,以斯帖牧师,塞特牧师,约珥弟兄,黄弟兄和所有CKRM 的家庭成员。我相信因着你们的顺服和忠心于神所赐的呼召,神会继续无限量地把祂的灵浇灌在CKRM!
