Having hosted the Five Fold Ministers’ Retreat at our newly renovated Canaan Penthouse Conference Hall for the morning session of the ‘Prayer for Malacca’ on 1st December 2011 with pastors and ministry leaders from several countries, this is my brief sharing of my encounter with God have touched the hearts of some participants.

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！
