Dear beloved,
My heart rejoiced when I read the report in the Star newspaper
this morning, dated 19/12/2012. We are now allowed to
go to Jerusalem. But many are still very skeptical about this news due to
numerous disappointments in the past.
Dear beloved, truly God is a prayer answering God. We have been praying
over this issue and I believe the hand of our God is leading us to fulfill His
purposes for us.
Just like Malaysia Day; which falls on 16 September every
year had not been declared as a public holiday until 2010. A week
after the gathering of Christians from all states in Sabah to pray and
celebrate in 2009, declaring Col 1:18 “And He is the Head of the body,
the assembly, who is the Beginning, the First-born out of the dead, that He be preeminent in all
things," our prime minister announced that 16
September 2010 and the years thereafter will be a public holiday. Praise
the Lord!
In addition to this, we have been praying for the rights of the ‘anak
negeri’ (Orang Asli). It was reported in various newspapers that the High
Court of Temerloh had ruled in favour of the Orang Asli over the land dispute
between them and Felcra concerning the Malay reserved land that had encroached
into theirs. Hallelujah!
Beloved, more expected and unexpected things are yet to
come. Let us continue to pray and have a believing heart as we
enter into the year 2013.
Let us pray aloud: Eph 1:16 I also do not cease giving thanks on your
behalf, making mention of you in my prayers,
Eph 1:17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of
glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the full knowledge
of Him,
Eph 1:18 the eyes of your mind having been enlightened, for you to
know what is the hope of His calling, and what are the riches of the glory of
His inheritance in the saints,
Eph 1:19 and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward
us, the ones believing according to the working of His mighty strength
Eph 1:20 which He worked in Christ in raising Him from the dead;
yea, He seated Him at His right hand in the heavenlies, Psa. 110:1
Eph 1:21 far above all rule, and authority, and power, and
lordship, and every name having been named, not only in this age, but also in
the coming age;
Eph 1:22 and He "put all things under His feet" and gave
Him to be Head over all things to the assembly, Psa. 8:6
Eph 1:23 which is His body: the fullness of the One filling all things in
all; AMEN.

在今天早上十二月十九日的报章，我读到关于我国公民准许入境耶路撒冷的报导顿时感到非常快活。但是有许多人因着过去所遭遇到无数次的失望仍然对这消息抱着怀疑的态度。
亲爱的，神实在是应允祷告的神。我们一直都为此事祷告，也相信神会带领我们成就祂在我们身上的旨意。就如9月16日马来西亚日；直至2010年开始才被公认为公共假期。
2009年基督徒从全马而来到沙巴州聚集祷告并同心宣告哥罗西书1：18 “祂是教会全体之首。祂是元始，是从死里首先复生的，使祂可以在凡事上居首位。”一个星期后，我国首相宣佈从2010年开始，每年的9月16日为公共假期。赞美主！
不单如此，我们也为土著的权利祷告。之后，我们便看到报导淡米洛高庭裁判关于马来人保留地的土地诉讼案胜方归于土著。哈利路亚！
亲爱的，更多所期望的和意想不到的事情将要来临。当我们迈入2013年，让我们不住的祷告并相信所祷告的将成就。
主啊，请赐我们像便雅悯般的醒觉，使我们能冲破障碍并和万王之王耶稣一起掌权，阿们。
让我们大声祷告；以弗所 1：16-23 “为你们不住地感谢神。祷告的时候，常提到你们，求我们主耶稣基督的神，荣耀的父，将那赐人智慧和启示的灵赏给你们，使你们真知道祂。并且照明你们心中的眼睛，使你们知道祂的恩召有何等指望，祂在圣徒中得的基业有何等丰盛的荣耀；并知道祂向我们这信的人所显的能力是何等浩大，就是照祂在基督身上所运行的大能大力，使祂从死里复活，叫祂在天上坐在自己的右边，远超过一切执政的、掌权的、有能的、主治的，和一切有名的；不但是今世的，连来世的也都超过了。又将万有服在祂的脚下，使祂为教会作万有之首。教会是祂的身体，是那充满万有者所充满的。“
