Before we went to Malaysia, Dorcas and I often prayed together for the trip. God gave us a lot of words and dreams. In one of the dreams, Dorcas saw a huge barrel of high quality oil and she was saying “This is the oil I wanted; clean and pure.” When she shared with me about this dream I told her that oil is the anointing of God and CKRM has such kind of oil. True enough, during the 8th Joshua Camp at CKRM she received a lot of grace and anointing from our Lord.
When we prayed on the plane while flying to Kuala Lumpur, God did not say anything to us but gave Dorcas a vision- which was only a donkey and nothing else. We didn’t understand the meaning of this vision until the first day of the camp.
Ps Paul was sharing with the campers why he chose to be a donkey for Jesus. He shared a testimony given by a man of God who wrote: “Our beloved Jesus went to Jerusalem riding on a donkey. The people took off their clothes and spread them on the road. It was the donkey who walked on the clothes, not Jesus. The donkey was honoured because he carried Jesus. I am like that donkey. People honour me not for my sake but because I preach Christ.”
In 1 Samuel 2:30 the Lord declares, “… Those who honor me I will honor, but those who despise me will be disdained.”
Nebuchadnezzar praised the Most High: “I honored and glorified Him who lives forever.” Then his sanity was restored, his honor and splendor were returned for the glory of his kingdom (Daniel 4:34-36).
When Pastor Paul mentioned donkey in his teaching session, I smiled and said to Dorcas. “Don’t you think that this is the donkey you saw in your vision?”
Today when I read an article from BOB JONES, I was surprised to find that there is also a vision of the donkey in his article. The Lord prompted me to link the donkey with CKRM.
God raised CKRM’s ministry to equip and empower the saints of this generation for the coming end time where the darkness and evil forces will increase greatly on the earth. But in this season, many people could not understand such ministry. Only those who know God’s will and are sensitive to the leading of Holy Spirit will recognize God's work.

Excerpt from Bob Jone’ vision:
（http://bobjonesnew.unionactive.com/Docs/Shepherd's%20Rods/SR-2008.htm）
“The Burden Bearers
In the next vision Bob saw a donkey that was loaded with supernatural provision essential for this interval of God's Spirit. Interestingly, though the little donkey was loaded with cargo, many people were mocking his appearance. We much remember, it was a lowly donkey that brought the Savior of the world in Jerusalem at the appointed time.
This will be a dangerous time to mock at the vessels God has chosen to bear His Glory, because they will be carrying all that we need to survive in this generation. Many religious leaders of the day had a difficult time comprehending John the Baptist because of his appearance and style. Nevertheless, he was God's messenger providing the essential direction for that season. We cannot afford to not recognize the day of His visitation and miss the tremendous opportunity set before us.
It was John’s directive to prepare a people for the Lord’s coming and restore the inheritance of God's children. The Lord said the spirit and power of Elijah is given to restore all things and turn the hearts of this generation back to God.
This analogy clearly identifies the symbolic nature of the donkey shown in the visions. It is a symbolization of humility and utter dependence upon God demonstrated by those who are trusted with spiritual empowerment. Furthermore, we must develop keen spiritual discernment to recognize their true value and the importance of the provision they carry."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pastor' Footnote: Some of the greatest achievements of men have come from the outcast and the greatly misunderstood. The disciples of Jesus who were the unschooled, ordinary men (Acts 4:13) courageously went to storm and change the world preaching the gospel under the anointing of the Holy Spirit.

负重的驴驹——Sarah Shan 姐妹的见证
在多加姐妹和我预备等候参加第八届约书亚营的日子，我们经常一起祷告，神也给了很多话语和异梦。在多加的一个梦中，她看到大桶的油，并且在梦中说，她要的就是这种油，纯净的油。她跟我分享这个梦的时候，我告诉她油就是恩膏，CKRM就是有这种油的地方。果然，在营会中，她满满地得到了神的恩典和恩膏。
在来吉隆坡的路上，我们在飞机上祷告的时候，神没有对我们说什么，但给了多加一个异像，她看到一个驴。除此什么都没有。我们不明白什么意思。直到在营会第一天 。
保罗牧师向会众分享了为什么他选择做主耶稣的驴驹。他引用了一位神仆人所写的：“我们亲爱的主骑着驴驹进入耶路撒冷。人们脱下衣服铺在地上。是驴驹踩在衣服上而不是耶稣。驴子受此尊荣是因为它驼着耶稣。我就像那头驴，人们尊敬我不是为我的缘故，是因为我在传讲基督。”撒母尔记上2:30主说，“…尊重我的，我必重看他。藐视我的，他必被轻视。”
尼布甲尼撒称颂至高者说：“我便称颂至高者，赞美尊敬活到永远的神。” 他的聪明和荣耀都复归于他。(但以理书4:34-36).
当保罗牧师的分享中讲到了驴时，我笑着对多加说，这就是你在异像中看到的驴吧?
今天我阅读美国先知BOB JONES的文章，惊奇的发现里面也有一段关于驴的异像，我马上想到了CKRM。
神兴起CKRM事工是为了装备这世代的圣徒应对将来到的末后季节，就是那黑暗及邪恶势力前所未有地倾倒在全地的时候。但在这预备的季节，很多人不理解这样的事工，对之嘲笑否定。只有认识神的心意并对圣灵带领敏锐的人，才能认出出于神的事工。
-------------------------------------
附BOB JONES文章摘录：
（http://bobjonesnew.unionactive.com/Docs/Shepherd's%20Rods/SR-2008.htm）
“负重者
在下一个异像中，Bob看到一头驴驮着超自然的供应品，这些供应是神的灵间息期所必须的。有趣的是，尽管小驴子满载着货物，很多人却嘲笑它的样子。我们都记得圣经中是一头驴驹驮着这世界的救主进入了耶路撒冷。
在此时嘲笑神所拣选来承载祂荣耀的器皿是很危险的，因为他们携带着这世代存活下去的必需品。很多宗教领袖很难理解施洗约翰的外表和方式。然而，他却是神的使者，指明那个季节的必需方向。如果我们不能认出造访时间，以致错过了摆在我们面前的巨大机会，我们是无法承担其损失的。
约翰的目的是为了主的到来和复兴神的儿女预备百姓。主说要赐下以利亚的灵和能力来复兴万事，使这世代的心回转向神。
这个异像中的比喻清楚地刻画出驴子的象征性品质。象征着被神托付属灵能力的人所具有的谦卑、完全依靠神的品格。而且，我们必须培养敏锐的灵来识别出他们这种真价值以及他们所携带供应品的重要性。“
The Lord has revealed to us that it is time now to proceed with building a large convention centre (Auditorium) with a seating capacity for 5000 people and has also identified His chosen location for the project. The project will include a multi-storey block of service apartments and other facilities in a prime location. It is such a privilege and honour the Lord has given my development, now ministering partner Bro Gabriel Eng and I the task to do something great for Him. Ps O.K.Thian who is the advisor for CKRM Leadership Training Malaysia is the Architect for the project.
Ps Thian was also the Architect for the following projects:-
Stadium Negara – 1983
Full Gospel Assembly Prayer Mountain, Genting Highlands – 1993
Education Block of Holy Light Church, Johor Bahru – 1965
Glad Tidings Church, Petaling Jaya - 1984
Attempt something so great for God, it is doomed to fail unless God be in it as per Psalm 127:1, “Unless the Lord builds the house, its builders labour in vain.”
Hence, I would like to share this testimony to give glory to God on how a man full of passion for business and the things of the world could suddenly lost all desires and give up everything to serve the Lord, learning to work with Him under His leading, guidance and protection despite being a young Christian of faith without any formal Theological training. An encounter with Lord Jesus will definitely transform life. Apostle Paul was a great sinner and the worst sinner of all persecuting and killing the disciples of Jesus. The Damascus Road Encounter changed him to a man who was full of zeal and love for Jesus. With this unceasing love he defended the gospel to his last dying days and willing to endure all kind of difficulties without the fear of men but only to obey God.
My encounter with the Lord was in California 2004 when the fire of God struck me like a lightning that swept throughout my entire body. My life was transformed. The fire burns away all the dross of my life and draws me to the first love – Lord Jesus (Zechariah 13:9, Matthew 3:11, Luke 3:16). The love for the Lord eliminates all the fear of men. After that fire encounter, the Lord began to isolate me as He closed all doors of contact with my past friends, cell group members and later even with my mentors in order to put me in the potter’s house to reshape the clay in His hand. It was during this time I was left to focus on Him alone, learning to work with Him as He taught me many things like He isolated and taught Apostle Paul in Arabia for 3 years.
I learn from a great revivalist, Bill Johnson of the Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry, California and the Bible, never to compromise with men out of fear and I witness and experience how true this is and I see the ministry of God grows without any lack of provisions, resources and funds. Ps Esther and I were being blessed by Bill Johnson in his supernatural school in Redding, California in 2007. We came back to set up CKRM Singapore.
Through these few years of ministry life, I identify myself with the two disciples of Jesus, Peter and John. Peter and John told the religious authority in Acts 4:19-20, “Judge for yourselves whether it is right in God’s sight to obey you rather than God. For we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard.” And their ministries brought in great salvation.
Peter and John did not submit to the religious authority but they chose to obey God, so neither was Daniel when he did not submit to the King’s decree but rather he chose being put into the Lion’s den.
Bill Johnson quote: "Nebuchadnezzar made a golden image that stood 90 feet high. All in his kingdom were to worhsip this thing. But the Hebrew children would not. There is a distinction between submission and obedience. Sometimes we are to go against the command of our leaders - but even then, only with submissive hearts."
I also learn how King Saul lost his calling because of his fear of men. King Saul was fearful of his men and he did not wait for Samuel to come and offer the burnt sacrifice. As a result, his kingdom could not endure as in 1 Samuel 13:13-14, “You have done a foolish thing,” Samuel said. “You have not kept the command the LORD your God gave you; if you had, he would have established your kingdom over Israel for all time. But now your kingdom will not endure; the LORD has sought out a man after his own heart and appointed him ruler of his people, because you have not kept the LORD’s command.”
The great Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke quote: "True greatness is not bigness or spiritual prominence. It is doing the will of God."
The article through the link below will provide some understanding of my calling:-
The "Fire Anointing" and It's Purpose / 圣火的恩膏及其目的
Being set apart and consecrated for His use, I have become obedient to His voice. Rev Dr Henry Chieng, a Methodist Pastor for more than 25 years and overseeing about 20 Churches as a Superintendent was my college mate in a Chinese Seminary in California. He testified about my absolute uncompromised obedience in an article through this link: http://www.ckrm.org/?p=566
Anyone whom the Lord has ordained and commissioned for a fire ministry has in fact a very controversial ministry where only a few could understand unless they have a similar encounter with the Lord too. My testimony has blessed and encouraged many Christians. Many testified through our website http://www.ckrm.org/ how they witnessed the awesome move of God in our ministry and have been blessed. Praise God!
I share two of their testimonies posted through the link below:-
http://www.ckrm.org/?p=2433 (by Rev Dr Joyce Tai, co-founder of a Seminary School)
http://www.ckrm.org/?p=546 (By Pastor Isaac of a Church in Irvin, California)
The Lord gave me a choice when my life was in a mess, saying that if I am willing to be consecrated and set apart for Him, leaving everything behind and carry the cross and walk with Him, He will make everything perfect in my life. Now, I can witness how true and faithful He is.
All my four children are very close and very supportive of my ministry. Our relationship today is so close compared with my sinful past. My three sons have graduated from Australia. My daughter is in USA, married a very devoted Christian. Elder son, George left his banking career to set up a food business. The business commenced in 2002 and expanded to several countries. I have posted an article about his business vide

All Glory to our Lord Jesus Christ!
Thank you, Jesus, my Lord and my Saviour. Hallelujah! Amen!

与主耶稣相遇，生命必得着更新
2011年12月1日的上午，来自数个不同国家的牧师和执事领袖借用了我们在马六甲新装修的迦南园顶层会议厅，主办了一个五重执事退修会。一大清早，牧师和执事领袖们就齐集一堂为着马六甲的复兴来祈祷。以下是我在聚会中的简短分享。我这与神相遇的见证触摸了好些参加聚会的牧师和执事领袖们的心。
主已启示我们，现在正是时候进行一个可容纳五千人聚会的大型会议中心（大礼堂）的建设工程，同时神也确定了祂所选择的建筑位置。该项目将包括一个在地理位置优越，多层服务的公寓，以及其他主要的设施。感谢主的恩典，我和我的发展与服事伙伴Eng弟兄能有这么一个机会为主做大事是何等的耀幸。Thian 牧师是马来西亚CKRM领袖训练的顾问，也是这项目的工程师。
Thian牧师也是下列项目的工程师： -
马来西亚国家体育场 - 1983年
全备福音大会祷告山，云顶高原 - 1993年
圣光教会的教育室，柔佛 - 1965年
报喜教堂，八打灵再也 - 1984年
若无上帝的同在，想要完成这么大的圣工是难以成功的。有如诗篇127:1，“若不是耶和华建造房屋，建造的人就枉然劳力。”
因此，我想分享这个见证来荣耀上帝，就是一个对企业和世事充满热忱的人，如何能够在一瞬间突然失去所有的欲望和放弃一切来事奉主。尽管没有受过任何正式神学训练的一位刚信主不久的基督徒，却在祂的带领，指导和保护下，学习与祂一起工作。与主耶稣相遇，生命肯定会被更新。使徒保罗原是一个迫害和杀害耶稣门徒的大罪人。可是在大马士革路上的遭遇，却改变了他一生，成为一个充满热诚和敬爱耶稣的人。有了这永恒的爱，他愿意忍受各种的困苦，捍卫福音直到死的那天。从来没向人的势力低头，为了只是服从上帝。
2004年在加利福尼亚州，主与我相遇。当时上帝之圣火如闪电般击中我整个身体，就此我的生命完全改变。这圣火烧去了我生命中的老我，并引领我寻着至爱 -- 主耶稣（撒迦利亚书13:9，路加福音3:16，马太福音3:11）。主的爱，能够消除人所有的恐惧。经历过主的圣火后，主开始把我分别为圣，停止我与过去的朋友，细胞小组的成员，甚至我的导师们所有的联系。主在陶匠的家中，用祂的手重新塑造我。就在那个时候，我学习如到何留心独自地专注于祂，学习与祂一起同工。主也在这段时间教会了我许多东西，就如在阿拉伯，祂亲自地教导使徒保罗三年一样。
比尔强生是加利福尼亚州伯特利超自然圣经学校的资深牧师。我从这位伟大的复兴家和圣经上，学习到永不要因为惧怕人而妥协。我见证和经历了神的信实。神事工上的增长，无论供应，资源和资金都完全没有任何缺乏。2007年，比尔强生牧师在加利福尼亚州的超自然学校为我和以斯帖牧师按手祝福后回国，我们便成立了新加坡CKRM。
经过数年的事奉生涯，我效法了耶稣的两个门徒，彼得和约翰。彼得和约翰在使徒行传4:19-20告诉宗教领袖说，“听从你们，不听从神，这在神面前合理不合理，你们自己酌量吧。我们所看见所听见的，不能不说。” 他们的事奉带来了极大的救恩。
彼得和约翰从不向宗教领袖低头，并单单选择了服从上帝。即使是但以里，情愿选择被送进狮子坑里，也不妥协于国王的命令。
比尔强生说：“尼布甲尼撒王建造一座九十英尺高的黄金偶像，命令全国人民来崇拜，但是希伯来人的孩子却不这么做。这就是服从和顺服之间的区别。有时我们违背了我们领导人的命令，即使如此，也只有顺从的心。”
我也从扫罗王如何因着惧怕人而失去神的呼召里学到功课。扫罗王惧怕他的手下，没有等到撒母耳来，就独自献上燔祭。因此，正如在撒母耳记13:13-14所记载的他的王位必不长久。撒母耳对扫罗说，“你作了糊涂事了，没有遵守耶和华你神所吩咐你的命令。若遵守，耶和华必在以色列中坚立你的王位，直到永远。现在你的王位必不长久。耶和华已经寻着一个合他心意的人，立他作百姓的君，因为你没有遵守耶和华所吩咐你的。”
伟大的布道家布永康说：“真正的伟大，并不是权高或灵性的突出，而是遵循神的旨意做事。”

The "Fire Anointing" and It's Purpose / 圣火的恩膏及其目的
除了被分别为圣和奉献于主用之外，我学会如何服从祂的声音。詹立言博士，是一位在卫理公会事奉超过二十五年的牧师，也牧养过将近二十间的教会。他是我在加利福尼亚州参加中文会议时的室友。在一篇网页的文章中，他见证我是一位不折不扣绝对服从于神的人：http://www.ckrm.org/?p=566
任何被委任和按立为神圣火恩高的执事，除非他们有类似感受，否则他们不会明白的。我的见证祝福和激励了许多基督徒。很多蒙受祝福人也通过我们的网站http://www.ckrm.org见证上帝在我们的事工上奇妙的运行和作为。赞美上帝！
以下是我与大家分享的其中两个见证： -
http://www.ckrm.org/?p=2433 （Joyce Tai牧师/博士，学院的创始人之一）
http://www.ckrm.org/?p=546 （加利福尼亚州，欧文教会的以撒牧师，）
当我生活在糜烂时，主给了我一个选择。祂说，如果我愿意奉献和跟随祂，离开一切属世的，背起十字架与祂同行，祂将会让我过着美好的生活。现在，我可以亲眼看到祂是多么的信实。
我有四个孩子，他们都与我很亲密，也非常支持我的事工。我们今天的关系比以前更加密切。我的三个儿子都毕业于澳洲的大学。我的女儿在美国，于一位非常虔诚的基督徒结了婚。长子，乔治离开了银行的工作，成立一家食品企业。该业务在2002年开始发展，并扩展到几个国家。我在以下的网页写下了有关他的业务发展的文章：

所有的荣耀，都归于我们的主耶稣基督！
谢谢主耶稣基督，我的救主。哈利路亚！阿门！
The 8th Joshua Camp was held on the 2nd December to the 4th December at Canaan Penthouse Conference Hall, Legenda Condo, Klebang Kecil Malacca. The Biblical meaning of number 8 : comes from my understanding that it normally deals with one who abounds in strength. The number eight is also used in reference to fertility. It has also been used when referring to the Resurrection or new beginnings.
Prior to the 8th Joshua Camp a Five Fold Ministers’ Retreat was held at Canaan Penthouse Conference Hall where pastors and leaders from all over the world came to pray for a spiritual breakthrough in Malacca. True to the meaning of eight which refers to a new beginning, the Lord led a group of young boys and girls from Banting and a sister named Docus from Beijing, China to this Camp.
Pastor Paul shared about the importance of Fire Anointing and Spiritual Weapons so that we can be effective disciples of Christ. The new comers received many spiritual gifts when Ps Paul prayed for the impartation of Fire Anointing. Sister Docus who hardly spoke English burst out worshiping our Lord Jesus Christ with songs of praise in English. Before this encounter while in Israel she noticed many Chinese spoke fluently in English and she desired deeply in her heart to be competent in this language. The Lord graciously gave her new words like “rain”,” “worship”, “bless Fire” and “follow me.” She spoke all these new English word without knowing its meaning.
Ps Thian commented that “the word of God is signs and wonders. If there are no signs and wonders you cannot go very far. So don’t belittle the signs and wonders. We need to learn and able to perform signs and wonders.” Pastor Thian concluded that the teaching about signs and wonders is the hallmark of CKRM.
Ps O.K. Thian who is our Advisor for CKRM Leadership Malaysia shared yesterday in our Joshua Camp that he is so privilege and excited that God has chosen him to work with us in this new Auditorium project as an Architect.
The Lord led a very senior minister who is a PhD holder and his wife to our Joshua Camp. A senior minister in healing and deliverance ministry, he is a certified and licensed as ordained minister by Covenant Ministries International, Inc USA. He said that “many people may not know the implication of signs & wonders but these are the last days of the outpouring. He looked forward to working with us in the healing & deliverance ministry."
Bishop Rev Dr Akintunde the President and Founder of The Weight of His Glory International Ministries, in Lagos Nigeria who has travelled widely around the world shared how God can use us more than He is using us now. In our lives we are vessels to God. 2 Timothy 2: 20-26 says that God wants to use us but we must be clean. He further preached that in Luke 6:27-28 the Lords expect our lives to be different from others. When our hearts are purified completely, then we are special to the Lord. Bishop Joseph a man of God who is sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit affirmed that we should not reject the new spiritual things that the Lord is doing in churches today. On the last day of the Camp he preached about the fullness of God to the campers like the mind, the power, the wisdom, the nature, the pattern of God, the character, etc. This means what makes God to be God was all found in Christ himself. When love is in our hearts, then we will have revelations from God.
In conclusion, Bishop Joseph Rev Dr Joseph Akintunde told us to expect a new beginning after this Camp. The Lord would release a new strength in us, so do make a new covenant with Jesus. When there is a covenant from our hearts, expect to see great miracles to happen. We must make up our minds to follow God even though we cannot see Him. People become very afraid if they have not seen new moves of God before. Even when the speaking of tongues started in the 60s, the churches took more than 10 years to accept that speaking in tongues are biblical and it is from God. We need to know the truth so that the truth will set us free (John 8:32).
