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.
