TESTIMONY OF MY LIFE AND MINISTRY
This morning I am going to share about what God has been speaking
to me. Let me share about my ministry here and my ministry to the body of
Christ in this country. I am not called only to this church or to this country.
God has shown me several things to do. This world is not my home. I am just
going to do God’s perfect will and then go home to be with God.
In 1975 I was praying on the top of a flat together with several
believers. I was already born again by that time and I had such a hunger for
God for revival. I live only for that. I live to see the perfect will of God
done. And I can’t stand it when God’s perfect will is not done. In 1975 we used
to gather together with two or three Christians in the early hours of the
morning. We used to come before God and pray and seek God’s face as to what God
wants to do and what God’s plan is for our lives. Two of them were holding
secular jobs and I was the only one partly doing a course and partly waiting
for my school certificate results. So in 1975 it was about 4 am in the early
hours of the morning. As I was praying God’s presence came and surrounded me.
It felt like God’s presence just filled the whole place. I was on the rooftop
of a four story flats. We used to gather on the rooftop to pray. I was planning
not to serve the Lord. I had my own ambition. I planned to do other things in
life. But when God’s presence came that day I saw visions of souls dying and
crying out for the Lord. I couldn’t stand it any more. I said Lord if your Word
is the truth and people without Jesus are doomed, then
the most important work on earth is to save souls. I wept and cried for I don’t
know how long. It was then that I felt God said to leave everything that I have
and to go into the ministry. So when the two brothers came, I told them what
happened. They felt that was what God was dealing in my life. I didn’t realize
that He had a call on my life.
That morning when I went back and very strangely God sent another
brother to visit me with just one message. He said the Lord had called me to
obey Him. Of course I went to seek my pastor. I was a member of the Baptist
church. I asked his counsel and he believed that the Lord had called me too. He
made arrangements for me to go to the seminary. When I made my decision to go
my parents disagreed. My father wanted to chase me out of the house. My mother
came to know Christ but she could not accept the fact that I was going to give
my life to the Lord. But I was determined to go. When they saw that I was
determined they did not do anything to stop me. After that I applied to enter
the seminary and I was accepted. I was only about 18 years plus at that time. I
went into the seminary in January 1977. During the first year there I sought
the Lord. I said, “Lord I need your power, I need your grace and I need your
help in the ministry.” I didn’t know the Lord very much at that time. In the
middle of that year I was baptized in the Spirit without knowing that it was
the baptism in the Spirit. I used to go on for long fasts. One day when I was
fasting, the Lord began to fill me with His Spirit, which I didn’t understand.
I began to speak forth in another tongue. I didn’t even know that it was a
tongue. But subsequently I didn’t follow up on that experience since I didn’t
understand the benefits of tongues. But I began to call on people to come for
revival meetings.
We started a prayer meeting in the seminary. One by one the
students began to receive the baptism in the Spirit. During that time the
faculty came to know it. I began to get more and more opposition. That was only
the beginning that I was learning what persecution is like. And what it is like
when you are doing the things of the Lord and people don’t understand. And of
course I pressed on but at the end of the three years I was given a letter that
told me that I had to leave the seminary because I was a Charismatic. They told
me, “We don’t want Charismatics here and you practice
extreme Charismatic practices.” So I packed up my bag. My only belonging was
one bag and I came out. I couldn’t go home because my parents would not
understand that Christians could do that. I mean here was their son having a
bright future but gave his life to the Lord. And because of some Charismatic
practice he is suspended from the seminary.
By the grace of God He opened a door and I
remained in
That was when the Lord told me to take one
year where I read nothing but the Word of God. I took every promise from
Genesis to Revelation personalize them and for about eight hours a day
meditated and meditated and prayed in tongues and meditated and prayed in
tongues and meditated. For one year I read nothing but the Word of God. I read no newspaper; I read no books not even
Christian books. And I meditated on the Lord. About six months into that
meditation the Lord began to teach about His gifts. How His word of knowledge
operates. I began to feel what I call now the tangible anointing that I never
felt before. I began to understand that was the gift of the Spirit working. At
the end of that year the Lord dealt with me during that time I also had one of
those long fasts. During one of those 40 days fasts while I was still in that
After that experience I left for an independent
ministry. We set up a ministry in
I remember there were times we didn’t have
enough to eat. I remember some brothers would come to me and say lets go out
for lunch. I was not sure whether they were paying or not. So I was afraid I
would be asked to pay. Even if we were to go Dutch I didn’t have enough money
even to pay for my own food. So that was the time when I didn’t accept. And the
Lord provides a miraculous means. Sometime I was renting a room with one
brother and that was the day before I was invited for lunch and I was not sure
if they would pay for me. Because sometimes they don’t pay
and everyone pay their own. I said no. And on my diary I remember I had
it on record. I was invited out but I was not sure whether it was going to be
paid so I said no. Then I wrote down Lord I still trust You.
Your Word is true. Those were the early days.
Miraculously one of those brothers was walking on the road and he found
a gold ring and he came back and said the Lord says to sell it and the money is
yours. There are many ways that the Lord
provides. So that was how we came out in
the ministry.
I remember the sacrifices when we made to
print the magazines. We printed only three issues. When we did the work of the Lord it meant
sacrifice. When we printed those magazines we put our food money inside. All of
us were prepared to go without food in order to bring the Word of God out. So
we went through lean times. In 1979 the Lord opened a door for us to minister
in
My parents persecuted me when I wanted to
follow the Lord. I was persecuted in the seminary. I was persecuted in the
Baptist Churches. I began to have persecution among Pentecostal Churches. When
we turned to the Lord there was no place to go. So in 1981 we just said, “Lets take a break.” We went for three months to
See there are three types of problems we
always have in Christianity, personal, doctrinal or structural. We came to a
place where I have nothing personally against anybody but the structure wanted
to change. I said I cannot conform to any structure that I don’t feel is in the
Word of God. I don’t want to be an employee and I am not somebody’s employee. I
want to serve and do God’s work that’s my desire. So in 1986 we started this
church. Of course there were all kind of problems.
People cannot see very clearly what the issue was. The issue is structural but
of course personality comes in and other areas will come in. It was just a
matter of differences. I want to show that I have nothing against any body. I
am still in good relationship with the other churches. Then as we started this
church we had to leave the other work.
When I
went on a three-day full fast (without food and water) in the early days of my
ministry, on the third day of the fast I had a dream-like vision. I was not
conscious whether I was awake or asleep. I was taken to a place where there
were two mountains. Between the mountains was a valley
and a huge building, which I understood represented the Church. Only the
pillars were ready; the walls and other things were not up yet. The pillars
were so big that you could drive three cars on them. High up on the building
were some people I recognized. There were John Sung, Watchman Nee and a few
other people, some I recognised, some I didn't. They had all gone to be with
the Lord and they were beckoning to me to go and join them.
I
didn't know what it was, but in the spirit it was like I was going to them. And
then I got out of this visitation. At that time I knew that the two mountains
represented the first and second coming. The pillars represented the pillars of
prayer that build the Church, the foundation. And these were men of God who had
built some of those things. But a few years ago, God said to me: "Son, do
you understand what that vision means?" I said: "No, Lord." The
Lord said" "I have called you to continue the work which Watchman
Nee, John Sung and the others have done. I have put an anointing on your life
to do that work and I'm calling you to finish that which they have
started." When I saw that, I wept. Of course, like everyone else, I said:
"Lord, I will do Your will, I just want to do
Your will. I don't seek for fame, I don't seek for fortune and I don't seek for
anything. I just want to do Your will and then go
home.
And
then some time after that, Watchman Nee came in two dreams and talked with me
and imparted something. Later on, when the Lord was teaching me about the
anointing, I met Kathryn Khulman in the spirit world
and she said some things to me and imparted something. As I progressed
spiritually, I met different people and I said: "Lord, I don't understand
these things theologically." But through time the Lord began to show me:
This is the communion of the saints that still goes on. Now, I didn't ask for
it, I didn't pursue it. I was just seeking God and praying, meditating on the
Word. I didn't seek to meet anyone of them at all. But the Lord showed me that
there were some things in their lives and their spirits that they had harnessed
and gathered and imparted into my life in some way that my mind doesn't comprehend
or understand.
My father who went home to be with the Lord many years ago,
came twice. The first time he came, he brought 10 pieces of a white substance
that looked like a white pancake. He came and though he didn't say a word (it
was like a thought transference), I knew that I must
eat it. I ate it and when I woke up, I knew something had changed. It was just
like Solomon, He had a dream and in the dream God told him: "Solomon, ask
what you want." And he said: "God, I just want you to help me govern Your people. They are such a great people. Help me do Your will." That is what God loves. God was so pleased
with Solomon, He said: "Because you didn't ask for the life of your
enemies, I will not only give you wisdom, I will give you all the other things."
And when he woke up, Solomon was a different man.
In January 17, 1986 and when I
was praying the Lord manifested Himself. One week before He
manifest Himself the devil manifested. I was sitting in down in my sofa to
pray. Towards my left there appeared a devilish looking person. It was not
Satan himself but probably one of his warriors, wearing a white garment but
very ugly looking face with huge ears and spots all over. He stared at me. I
got up and stared at the demon back. That demon left when I rebuked him. Then I
sat down and kept worshiping the Lord. Then the next week the Lord appeared.
When the Lord appeared I thought that He was coming to answer my prayers. I
have a list of prayers. One of my prayers is, “Lord I want a trip to heaven,
not to go home yet. But I just want to see heaven and come back.” When He
appeared I thought that He came to answer my prayers. So I stretched forth my
hands and said, “Lord lets go.” The Lord smiled and said, “It is not time yet.”
Its not time yet means I know the Lord is going to
answer that prayer one day. Then instead the Lord began to talk to me about
other things. He was like a bright and shining light. He is more glorious than
the sun. He is brighter than the sun. As He spoke to me it seems that the words
pierced right into my heart. It seems that in those few hours it was like 10
years of education. There is something the Lord told me that has not come to
pass yet. There were other things to a certain extend have come to pass.
The Lord began to teach and show me about
the anointing of the Holy Spirit. He pointed out to me what my call is and what
I am supposed to do in this life. He told me exactly what kind of ministry I
was supposed to stand in. That’s why I boldly stand in what the Lord told me to
do. I couldn’t care to please men. He told me the offices that I was to
function in. He told me the gifts that I was to operate. He says there are
certain signs that I was to operate. There are three, one that has come to pass
and only two that have not come to pass. He says if I am faithful then He will
cause the other two signs to pass. After the Lord spoke and shared His words
and He went off I could not sleep that whole day.
That night I was thinking about the Lord’s
word and I just couldn’t sleep. So I just spend the whole day worshiping God.
The next morning between two to three in the morning I was in my bedroom and I
was still praying. Then came this bright light like a
ball of fire into the room. It came towards me and it stopped. When it stopped
I felt the presence of God. I said, “Lord I know it is you.” The
moment I said that the ball of light slowly came forward and touched my
forehead. When that ball of light touched my forehead I felt that I was
caught up into space. I was looking down on the planet earth. The planet earth
looked so small and hanging in space. I felt what God felt for the world. As I
was looking at the world I felt God’s heart beat for the world. I felt like God
was in me and I was in God and He was looking through my eyes and He was
holding the world through my hands. I felt His love for this world. I can never
rest until the perfect will of God is done. What the bible says, “For God so
loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son” I felt His love going
towards the world. It felt that if one sparrow were to fall down to the earth
and die you feel that pain. Anything that is not part of God’s plan, anything
that is of disease or sickness or pain or suffering or decay or destruction
that God never planned for Adam and Eve and for us, it was causing pain to
God’s heart. When one bird falls to the ground you could feel a sharp pain
going through you.
I felt what felt like in the book of
Genesis 6 it says God was grieved by the sins of men. I began to understand
that when God looks at this planet earth right now until this planet earth is
brought to the perfection of Jesus, the heart of God is aching for this planet
earth. Until every man, every woman, every creature, every animal and all
creation is doing God’s perfect will God’s heart is
aching. It is causing pain to Him more than you realize. All the sufferings of
men and all the imperfection of men were being felt. The feeling was so intense
and so agonizing you feel you could die of love. I cried and said, “Lord I
didn’t realize that Your love hurts you. Because of
Your great love You are hurting for the imperfection
of this planet earth.” That changed my view of God. That put urgency in my life
about the coming of the Lord. The Lord did tell me before He left that He is
coming soon. He called me to have a part in His last days move. But this
intensity of His love cannot be described. Its just
like sometimes you feel compassion for someone who is sick. You multiply it a
billion times you will know the great love that God feels for His people. That
was what God was dealing in my life. I cannot rest day and night until the will
of God is done on this planet earth. He has done something in my heart, that I cannot rest until the will of God is done. As
long as the
So that the Lord’s Prayer Our Father who
are in heaven, holy be Your Name, Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth
as is done in heaven. So unless God’s will is done in our life God suffers more
than us. I believe there are many things that God is dealing in our lives even
today. God has spoken to some of you in some ways. He has challenged your life
to live your life the way He wants you to live. I want you to know that there
is no such thing as a stationary meeting or staying stationary in the Lord. We
all have to keep moving. We all have to keep doing God’s will in our life. We go
on from one will completion to the next will until we complete all the total
plan of His written will in our life.
As I close I just want to urge each one of
you to meditate on this fact in I Cor. 13:4 Love is patient and kind; love is
no jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its
own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong, but
rejoices in the right. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all
things, endures all things. Love never ends; as for
prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for
knowledge, it will pass away. For our knowledge is imperfect and our prophecy
is imperfect; but when the perfect comes, the imperfect will pass away. When I
was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a
child; when I became a man, I gave up childish ways. For now we see in a mirror
dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall understand
fully, even as I have been fully understood. So faith, hope, love abide, these
three; but the greatest of these is love.
I just want to let you know that if you
don’t walk in God’s love and you don’t walk in God’s perfect will, you are not
only hurting others you are hurting God. When I came out from that experience I
told the Lord, “Lord I never knew that if Your people
walk in Your permissive will how much it really hurts You. I never realize the
pain you go through when we don’t walk in Your perfect
will. Lord please help me to bring others to do God’s
perfect will.” I began to understand that if I could help each one of you to do
God’s perfect will God would have less pain and less grief to bear on this
planet earth. May we all seek to do God’s perfect will in our life. God has called me here for a purpose. God has called
each one of you here for a purpose. We all need to come together in the Lord to
do God’s perfect will. Put aside all our differences. Put aside all our
personality. Put aside all our background. Put aside all our prestige. Put
aside all our ego. Put aside our pride. Seek to do
God’s will that God may be glorified in our lives. That He may have His perfect
work in this place. God is training each one of you here. There is going to be
a multiplication in your spiritual lives and in the life of the church here
like we have never seen before. There is going to be a multiplication in your
financial life and in your experience with the Lord like you have never seen
before.
But before God brings that to pass John 15
will have to take place. In John 15:1-3 I am the true vine,
and my Father is the vinedresser. Every branch of mine that bears no fruit, He
takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit He prunes that it may bear
more fruit. You are already made clean by the word which I have spoken to you. Notice
in verse it says that every branch in Me that does not
bear fruit He takes away. Then He continue and every branch that bears fruit.
My beloved brethren you all have borne fruit. And He says every branch that
bears fruit He prunes. Why must He prune? That it may bear more fruit. So there
will be cycles of pruning. When you have borne fruit for God there will be a
pruning. During the pruning it may hurt a bit. But then there will be more
fruit that comes forth. Be sensitive to the cycles of God. God is doing a
pruning. Once God finishes His pruning you will realize it has been good since
more fruit comes forth in your life. That’s the pruning process that He is
putting each one of you through.
But for this past two years all over in
the body of Christ in this planet earth the Holy Spirit has been bearing a
sickle. He has been pruning and pruning the
So remember the words of the Lord Jesus
Christ. These are the words of our Master. In the gospel of John 13:34 A new
commandment I give to you that you love one another even as I have loved you. The
most important command the Lord gives to us is to love one another. Throughout
the whole body of Christ this is the commandment that should have been the most
prominent but it is not. These are the words of Jesus. Jesus who died for us,
Jesus who gave His life for us, Jesus whose hands were pierced for us. Jesus whose back bore the stripes for us. Jesus
whose head was pierced with crown of thorns. Jesus Christ died suffered
the pains of death; rose from the dead. Before He said physically to His
disciples; before He left He says a new commandment I give to you, that you
love one another as I have loved you. So He is telling us to love each other in
His love. And that is what God wants to do in His body.
So I exhort each one of you; I encourage
each one of you to realize that Jesus is pouring His love in His church. He is
causing His love to abound that we will have a greater appreciation for each
other and a greater love for each other. This is just the beginning of fruit
bearing time. If you do something without love your fruit will not last. The
Lord Jesus said in the gospel of John that this is will glorify my Father, that
you bear much fruit. Jn.15:8 By this my
Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be my disciples.
The Lord Jesus wants us to bear much fruit for Him. If you do something
without the love of God your fruit does not last. He desires that our fruit
remains; that our fruit last. When you do something in God’s love then only the
fruit of your labor will last for eternity. For God to exalt whatever you do
for Him it is important that you have the same flow of love. This Word of God
is born in love. The story of the Bible began with God’s love for man. The
story of the church of Jesus Christ will end in Jesus’ love pouring upon the
church so much that He pour His gifts upon the church; that He brought the
church to Himself. The story of this planet earth will end in showing how God
in His great love has finally paid the price and brought to fruition all the
fullness of His plan on this planet earth to the fullness of His love.
