基督国度崇高掌权中心的使命/The Calling of Christ's Kingdom Reigns Majestically (CKRM)

基督国度崇高掌权基督中心是一个使徒性,先知性,布道性的事工;被呼召站在最前线低抗黑暗的权势。当大卫王知道拔示巴怀了孕,他召了拔示巴的丈夫乌利亚从战场上回家去,为了掩盖自己的罪行。但乌利亚却和他主人的臣仆一同睡在王宫门外,没有回到自己的家里去。

大卫王问乌利亚为何不回到自己家里去,乌利亚回答说:

撒母耳记下11:11 乌 利 亚 对 大 卫 说 , 约 柜 和 以 色 列 与 犹 大 兵 都 住 在 棚 里 , 我 主 约 押 和 我 主 ( 或译:王 ) 的 仆 人 都 在 田 野 安 营 , 我 岂 可 回 家 吃 喝 , 与 妻 子 同 寝 呢 ? 我 敢 在 王 面 前 起 誓 ( 原 文 作 我 指 着 王 和 王 的 性 命 起 誓 ) :我 决 不 行 这 事 !

乌利亚被派到最前线去攻打敌人。战胜仇敌和征服土地是神的旨意,但以色列百姓以及直接参与战场的都必须与他们的家人远离隔绝,以神的事工为优先,全心全意专心去打战,完全没有後顾之忧才能打胜仗。所以乌利亚在战争还未结束之前是不能回到自己家的。从这例子看到: 神与神的事工是连在一起的,是不能分开来的。

这战争是为了神所赐给始祖亚伯拉罕的应许之地,也为以色列的后裔。这些勇士们被委托这样的使命,要与亲爱的家人远离,对他们来说是困难的,再痛苦不过的。

要知道有不同的属灵成熟度。那最极端的就是我们的主在马太福音与路加福音的教导;马太福音 19:29 凡 为 我 的 名 撇 下 房 屋 , 或 是 弟 兄 , 姐 妹 , 父 亲 , 母 亲 , ( 有 古 卷 添 妻 子 ) , 儿 女 , 田 地 的 , 必 要 得 着 百 倍 , 并 且 承 受 永 生 。

在马太福音 10:37-38 爱 父 母 过 于 爱 我 的 , 不 配 作 我 的 门 徒 , 爱 儿 女 过 于 爱 我 的 , 不 配 作 我 的 门 徒 。 不 背 着 他 的 十 字 架 跟 从 我 的 , 也 不 配 作 我 的 门 徒 。

对很多的基督徒来说,这种教导是很困难,很难以领受的。所以戴得辉牧师虽然本身被呼召进入使徒性的事工,他在 2012 年6月12日在沙巴教会分享说:在战场上第一个被殉职的军人(我们的大母指)是那些在最前线的。那代表着最前线的战士是那些愿意忍受大逼迫,大有勇敢心智,不战到最后不罢休的。有如使徒保罗为福音的原故坚持到最后一口气。林後 12:12 我 在 你 们 中 间 , 用 百 般 的 ,忍 耐 , 借 着 神 迹, 奇 事, 异 能 , 显 出 使 徒 的 凭 据 来 。

使徒保罗虽然面对极度的困难和高度的逼迫,他坚持不懈,没有向人妥协,一心只敬畏神,要讨神欢欣。同样勇敢的战士是不畏惧死亡的。若一个人完全向自己死去,不害怕死亡,那他是什么也不怕的了。神就在寻找像乌利亚那样的勇士来服侍祂。因为末世收割桩稼的事工需要这样的条件才能与神同工,运行在圣灵的大能里。这是要成为主耶稣极度门徒的最基本条件。

精锐的突击队员是很少的,他们不同于一般的军士。有如士师记记载神在1万个基甸勇士中,只挑选三百位。(士师记记 7:3-7)。你是否愿意被呼召进入这样的事工???

CKRM is a ministry of apostolic, prophetic and evangelism; called to be the front line warriors to battle the power of darkness. When King David discovered that Bathsheba was pregnant he sent for Bathsheba’s husband - Uriah. To cover his sin of having an affair with Uriah’s wife, David relieved Uriah temporary of the battlefield frontline to return home and to go back to his house. But Uriah slept at the entrance of the palace with all his master’s servants and did not go to his house.

When David questioned him about why Uriah did not go home, Uriah said to David in 2 Samuel 11:11, “The ark and Israel and Judah are staying in tents, and my master Joab and my lord’s men are camped in the open fields. How could I go to my house to eat and drink and lie with my wife? As surely as you live, I will not do such a thing.

Uriah was assigned to be on the frontline to attack the enemies. In the will of God to defeat the enemies and capture the land, it was a ministry for the Israelites and those directly involved in the battle fields have to be separated from their families as the ministry of God became their first priority. Hence, Uriah could not go home to his house. This illustration shows God and the ministry of God are inseparable. The battle was the promised land God gave to Abraham for the future generation of Israel and for that sake; the warriors on the battle had the calling for the assignment. For such warriors, it was very painful having to leave their families behind to be on the battlefield.

There are different spiritual levels. The extreme spiritual level is what our Lord Jesus taught in Matthew 19:29, “And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or fields (business) for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life.” (Also read Luke 18:29-30).

In Matthew 10:37-38, Jesus said, “Anyone who loves his father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; and everyone who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me.”

To many Christians, this is hard teaching and therefore apostolic ministry as Dr Joseph Tai has shared in the Sunday sermon at his Church in Kota Kinabalu on 10th June 2012, is the frontline (the thumb on our finger), the first to die on the frontline facing the enemies. It means severe persecution with a lot of perseverance, bold and will fight to the last, like Apostle Paul defending the gospel to his last dying days. 2 Corinthians 12:12, “The things that mark an apostle – signs, wonders and miracles – were done among you with great perseverance.”

Apostle Paul feared no men and would not compromise despite extreme difficulties and persecution. Brave warriors are not afraid of death. If a person dies to self and is not afraid of death, no fear can come to him. God is looking for such warrior like Uriah to serve Him and to move in the mighty power of the Holy Spirit for the end time harvest. This is the basic requirement for extreme discipleship.

Elite commandoes are few, unlike ordinary soldier, like the 300 the Lord picked at the river among the 10,000 (Judges 7:3-7). Are you willing to be called in this category to serve God?
