Best Spring Ever in Ireland

It was my great idea to book this trip so to be with Mei & the saints there and also to have a break from work during my week. We bought the easyjet ticket flying from Newcastle and that time was before the airlines disaster due to the volcanic ash. Mind you a week before we travelled, there was another volcano eruption hence cancelling all the flight to Ireland from Newcastle. But our flights to / back that week after were fine.

I'm so glad to be in Ireland. I miss everyone. What a bless to be in the church life. You should join me in the church life. You get the enjoyment everywhere in the world and where ever you go and live. This time in Ireland we have Sharon & Ray brought us out to tour Belfast city and the Trouble sites / attended the book of Roman's seminar in Belfast and met somelocal Irish friends / babysit little Daniel and ate a feast at his home that filled me outward but also inwardly / experienced Annie's warm hospitality. Then Mei driving with us and Jenny to visit Dublin, Galway and also the Cliff of Moher. In Dublin we have the Lord's table meeting and good fellowship with Pei Pei, Kenneth & Shirley, Alferdo & Catriona at their home. Kenneth even treated us nice Si Chuan cuisine before leaving Dublin. We did the Giant's causeway too. All in all the trip was awsome, please go check out each of the highlights underlined here.

Ireland Where a Time with The Saints

... is a blessed time for me. In Belfast it was a good summer time and we were all sitting outside enjoying, talking and ...playing with the babies.

Sis Yang (holding the little Daniel) and Mei in apron have been cooking for us lotsa food...chicken stew with potatoes & carrot, pork fried rice, steam fish with soya sauce, hoi sin duck & wrap, veg Indian curry, M&S lemon meringue and Sharon home made choc cake for little Daniel.

You ask little Daniel "where is Lord Jesus?" he'll go tap tap with his hand to his chest. meaning Lord Jesus is in me. How cute.

This is Annie and her husband both are deaf but you will never imagine how well we each communicated. The hospitality with them was wonderful!

Coincidentally this weekend there is also the 3rd seminar on the book of Roman. And Belfast is chosen for 1 of the 12 cities that holds this seminar. We were in Glasgow for the second one. You should go to one next time if you haven't been to any. I tell you this seminar shows you the revelation of the Bible (this time is from the book of Roman) not from a perspective of man and the holy religious culture that kind but from a perpective of God. I personally have heard enough about Roman but this time I really enjoy the seminar when all the things that reveil is really something I never thought to see it that way...the perspective view from God. Go here for more info.

Then Dublin Here I Come! Knowing that Dublin is a cosmopolitan place like London and most important there is the church there too! We went down in Mei's car very early after a night at Annie's place. Lord bless the church in Dulbin and the propagation there. Here outside the meeting place in Dublin.

in Bro Kenenth & Shirley home during our stay in Dublin. Happy to see saints also from Malaysia.

Do you know meaning of the church, the Body and to you church life is such a life to live? Then it will be meaningful in your Christian living.

The place is good for a family and most important... I now have my place to welcome saints to meet here. So far my place has been ~10 times open for this purpose and I believe there will be more to come. God bless this place and let this home be your way to build up and cherrish all of us in the church life.The flat is on the ground floor. Front has a small land for my vege plot, back has a compound area for BBQ blending, upstair is my neighbour, 2 toilets & 2 bedrooms to accomodate people here, a cosy living room and a restaurant function kind of kitchen. That is my new place. WELCOMEEE to drop by.

The Four Crucial Subjects In The Divine Revelation – Divine Economy, Divine Dispensing, Organic Union and Expression of God. [PART 2]

I want to say this out loudly - The leaders in Christianity today need at least a slap in face so to be awakened to realize God’s economy. God does not want a religion and a religious people. Read the post if you are interested to know why.

Must Go here for PART 1 before reading this part.

God's dispensation which is through the revelation concerning the Triune God in the holy Word is not for doctrinal understanding but for His redeemed people to experience and enjoy Him. Yes, we can enjoy God.

The relationship which God desires is to have man and Him be grafted together and thus become one in an organic union. Never heard of this?? Go read Roman 6:3-5 and 1 Cor. 6:17. He created man for the purpose of entering into man to be one with man and to make man one with Him (Gen. 1:26; 2:7). Grafting is a good illustration for this matter. In grafting, two similar lives are joined and then both grow together organically. How is it possible?? This is because our human life was made in the image of God and according to the likeness of God, it can be joined to the divine life (Gen 1:26). And then in another hand Christ has to pass through the processes of incarnation, crucifixion and resurrection in order for us to be grafted into Him. (John 1:14, 1 Cor. 15:14b, 2 Cor. 3:17a. In the grafted life, the human life is not eliminated but is strengthened, uplifted and enriched by the divine life.

Therefore we need to believe into Christ which is also receiving Him as the divine life into us that we may have an organic union with Him in the divine life. (John 3:15, 15:4-5)

Through this union there will be God’s expression. God’s original intention is that man would receive His divine life and divine nature and thereby become God’s expression. (Gen. 1:26, 2:7-9). How do you tell?? Well easy. You see God created man in His image, and Christ is the image of the invisible God; therefore, man was created in the image of Christ. Hello…this is very obvious…for the expression. Furthermore God does not want just one expression, and that is why the matter of the church is brought in. The basic function of the church is to be the corporate expression of the Triune God in Christ. Church is the called out congregation who are being called out from the world by God. Here you also see a oneness which is the Body of Christ.

In this aspect of oneness, everyone’s self have been fully denied and is enjoying the glory of the Father as the factor of their perfected oneness and thus express God in a corporate, built-up way. Eventually, we will be brought into the divine glory, be glorified with Christ and bear the glory of God for God’s expression in the New Jerusalem.

I thank God that I can be shown to know God’s economy and I thank that I know how to live my everyday life in this world. I can live in this world for another purpose which has the eternal glory – New Jerusalem.

The Four Crucial Subjects In The Divine Revelation – Divine Economy, Divine Dispensing, Organic Union and Expression of God. [PART 1]

I am very blessed that I can learn this after attending the conference. This matter is no way to be found in any of the denomination group and needless to say to be found in the Roman Catholic and the world or wikipedia. Why such important matter in the Bible yet not familiarly known by them? Proundness. Maybe we really need to humble ourselves when it comes to the Bible and really keen to get the revelation or light in the divine Word to open up to us.

Allow me to stress that the Bible and the divine Word IS for all human kind. My dear friend if you are not yet a believer in Christ or you worship other gods, now I urge you to seek and learn the Truth for yourself as I do not want you to be ignorant or being stranded away by the enemy and couldn’t come forth to the Truth.

Don’t listen to those people who say only the weak ones will need a God or something like a religion to depend on. NO NO. That is a shallow thinking. This thought is from the enemy. We against it. Plus me having a strong personality would not accept such reason to believe God. Then what make me turn? Find yourself in this post then. Now I have Him and I would declare I love Him everyday and would not a second want to be independant from Him. And if you choose to worship other gods, think twice again about that god you worship from these perspectives:
(1) God’s divine economy,
(2) His divine dispensing,
(3) His organic union with man,
(4) man’s expression of God.

There is only one and real God in this universal. Don’t listen to the theory of man evolutes from monkey. That is another thought came from the enemy who wants to impose it into man so man is driven further from God.

God has a will. Revelation 4:11 says …for You (God) have created all things, and because of Your (God’s) will they (human) were, and were created. God plans so He can achieve His will. This plan is refer as the God’s Economy. The Bible presents a full picture if the divine economy from the creation of the universe to the consummation of the New Jerusalem (Rev 21:1-2).

If you study the bible and want to understand it, here is a big hint for you. The eternal economy of God is the central line of the entire Scripture, therefore the interpretation of the Scripture should strictly governed by this central line under adequate spiritual enlightment (Luke 24:27, 32, 47). So, God’s economy is centred on God’s unique work which He wants to work Himself in Christ and into His chosen people by making Himself one with them (Eph. 3:16-21) and us have Him as our life and our being (Gal 1:15-16, 4:19).

So what do know about God’s economy now?
Answer – God’s economy is to gain a group of people that He may dispense Himself into them to be their life and everything so that they may be joined to Him as one, be filled and occupied with Him, and be one entity with Him on the earth to be the Body of Christ, the church which is for His expression (Eph 1:3-23).

For believers of Christ, we should have a clear vision of God’s economy, and to be governed, controlled and directed by this divine vision and to be strong and unshakable in this heavenly vision. (Prov 29:18a, Acts 26:19).

For unbelievers, I don’t want to scare you rather more to see you being ignorant. But this is God’s economy and it is related to all every perople on earth. But then again it is your choice and forgive me as I must post this out so I don’t owe my gospel debt to you.

Below are photos taken during the conference in Birmingham. Churches from all UK came and there were almost 200-ish people. There is a sense of godliness in everyone and they were all very happy and lively. I'm so touched to see this and I believe this is what God after all these centuries - the church is expressing the glory of God.

Praise the Lord for the meeting hall here provided by God through the church in Birmingham. It has been a consistent prayer from all churches from all localities for this facilities. Oh Lord...this is so glorious.

I Feel I Am Blessed When …..

I like reading people's blog. I read stranger's and I read friends'. I sometime comment I sometime don't. But my feeling connect to their post almost everytime I read. I feel happy when the post is a happy post, I feel sad when the post is sad. But often I see there is a certain degree of hollowness in many many posts which this eventually reflect to the author of the post.

Man must have been created as an empty vessel. This vessel has to be filled with the right thing. If fill it with something wrong, the vessel will still feel hollow until the right thing has been filled in it. I feel I am blessed because I know what can fill me and I don't feel hollow after being filled. The answer is not my job, my profession, my glory, my money, my lover, my family. I think by now you will have guessed what is my answer. Having Him not only just filling me but actually has enliven me up especially when I'm in the fellowship with Him and the Body (i.e. the church). If you really have work hard and want to fill your hollowness maybe you should consider Him. Maybe it is a chance for you and Him. What you say?

Anyway… in Newcastle we have blending and love feast dinner the other night. Yeah….Finally we got Jack back. Jack!!! We really miss you. How can you missing in action from us?!?!?! However it was a great dinner and night. Jack made his famous Chinese dumpling. Yum Yum. I have always been particular about preparing mince meat mixture. I have high expectation on anything that will contain mince meat e.g. Chinese dumpling, wonton and meatball. I have actually been learning from recipes and people especially in this aspect. That night I learnt from Jack that UK mince pork has less fat in it. So we should add some oil when preparing the mince mixture. It is better to add heated chilli pepper oil (i.e. you heat your normal oil and add the chilli pepper in to brown, then use this oil for you mince mixture). The mince was VERY good. The love feast was a potluck dinner. Everyone bring a dish. That night we have Vincent’s Malaysia chicken curry, Mei’s Chinese herbal soup, Mieng Mieng’s roast chicken, Brother Yu and Sister Yu’s full set of luxury China FooChow cuisine. We have so much food. I’m glad to see everyone was there and happy.

May Lord keep this oneness and strengthen His testimony in Newcastle. The church in Newcastle is His testimony. The church is the people, called out from the evil, crooked, perverse and condemned generation. By only taking Christ as the centrality hence that we can keep the oneness. Not the different doctrines, different teachings, different practicing but only Christ.

Lord, May You Keep This So It Will Speed Things Up

"That is a very encouraging word. Maybe you can contact with Alan in York to come up sometimes. Surely now you need brothers. But don's forget Bro Nee was raised up by ME Barber and Bro Lee was saved through Sis Doris and Moses was helped through women. Sisters in the Bible represent the seeking ones such as the Mary that gave birth to Jesus and the Mary who met the Lord at His resurrection. For your information. the recovery in Poland was brought in though a group of sisters praying together for one year and the Chinese work in US also though a group of elderly Chinese praying. . Never look down on sisters! You are there under God's sovereign arrangement. I believe that the Lord will do something through you sisters. Just be faithful! Amen. XXX"

This email is very encourging for all sisters here. Although I am still longing for James. It is not easy. Everytime it is a spiritual battle. It does take some difficulties for being an overcomer. However God already knows and today is the third stage which is the intensification which the compound life-giving Spirit was intensified sevenfold to become the sevenfold intensified Spirit (Revelation 1:4, 5:6). This sevenfold intensified Spirit is for the overcoming of the degradation of the church and the producing of the overcomers so that the Body of Christ can be built up in a practical way to consummate the New Jerusalem, which is the unique and eternal goal of God's heart's desire.

That weekend we have people from Cambridge, London and Nottingham came visiting us. It was a wonderful and blessed time. We have beared our first fruit!

Margaret and I were preparing. And everyone else all have wonderful time blending and fellowshipping. The way to enjoy Christ is by calling His name - Oh Lord Jesus.

The Church Life I am Missing Badly

I am not and hate being religious. You can either be a religious Christian but have no Christ or you can be a Christian but love Him and have Christ as the all inclusive one. Beside God has turned away from those religious people long since when salvation has come to the Gentiles (those non-Jewish people i.e. we today).



Hymn lyrics:
1.
I've given up the world because
I've found something more
He's better than anything
I've ever found before
Yes, I have found the Living One
Oh, how my spirit soars!
I called His name, I'm not the same.
I am for the Lord!

(Chorus)
I'm for the Lord
I'm loving Jesus
I'm for the Lord
I'm calling O Lord Jesus!

2.
I've given up the world because
I've found something better
I have found the Living One
And He breaks every fetter
Yes, He's the One who set me free
Oh, how my spirit soars!
I called His name, I'm not the same
I am for the Lord!

3.
And now I'm really happy
Yes I'm fully satisfied
I have found the Living One
And He lives right inside
Of you and me, so come and see
Now our spirits soar!
We called His name, we're not the same.
We are for the Lord!
We're for the Lord
We're loving Jesus
We're for the Lord
We're calling O Lord Jesus!

Friends' Wedding and My Memories

Last saturday was these friends' wedding. Very sweet couple. God bless them and their marriage. The ceremony has brought back the sweet　memories when James and I got married. This year January I bumped into these couple while transitting for 9 hrs in Dubai airport. Coincidently they were also waiting for the same flight. So we stayed together, talked, ate, got tired and got some rest. I was going back to get married and the bride here was going back to look for her wedding dress. Time really flies. So quick. And I'm still here everday waiting for my husband. Only God knows and can become James' and mine patience and comforter to bring us over this transistion period. He will strengthen us.

Remembering the time when I only have two weeks to get most of the wedding stuffs ready plus in the middle of getting ready for Chinese New Year. The wedding was very successful and was what I have wanted and I'm very grateful for everyone's help and time.

I remember when I just touched down in KK 9:30am, when James, my mom, dad and sister were there. We went to my favourite coffee shop for breakfast "wat tan ho" and immediately after breakfast we went to the Minisitry of Marriage to get the form, then to the Commission of Oath and back again to submit our wedding application. Luckily no queue at all and we got this important bit done in a day. The next day, me, mom and sister went for the wedding dress hunt. And again it only took us to shop three wedding shops and I had found mine in the third shop including the studio photo shoot. I cannot stop praising that it was really the soverignty arrangement from God.

My wedding invitations, flowers and venue decoration were unexpectedly but very amazingly handled by my dear relative. I only found out she runs her business as a party and wedding organisers when I was at home. My wedding venue is specially picked by me and mum as this place is where me and James met and most of my sweet time childhood is from here, where people there seeing me growing up and most important it was a place and the people there who have nutured and have helped me in growing through my spiritual life. Our wedding was smoothly annouced throught in the newsletter, msn head title and invitation cards. Also embrassingly annouced during my first high school reunion however it was sweet and unforgettable. It did surprised many ex-mates. But thank you for the gift and wishes.

High tea reception (just after wedding ceremony) and dinner banquet (as gesture of thank you just for family+relatives+close friends+people who have helped in preparation) were no difficulthy to find and food was awesome thinking that I started feeling a foreigner to KK. I should have taken the food photos. All big thanks to mum and her friends.

Hair and make-up, wedding car, venue seats & tables arrangement, wedding ceremony programme booklet, pianists, brothers leading the ceremony, camera man, videoing man, ushers, brothers entertaining the guests during dinner were all amazingly handled by my dear friends and brothers and sisters in Christ. These people were once with me and James in the youth service and seeing them all again and participated in the wedding ceremony has touched our heart as this kind of love definitely have to be love form God in them.

Minjin, Qianqian, Oioi, wishing you guys were here with us. Miss you lots.

Great weekend part 2 (Church life)

Today we set forward to Leeds. Allan and the family will meet us there later. We have decided to go to Leeds for visiting the saints there and also for the Lord's table meeting. We were delighted when knowing saints from Nottingham were coming too.

We soon came to Leeds high street and meet up with most of them. Before the meeting start we did some Rhema distribution at the high street. The Rhema table and tent were already set up. This was my first time and is kind of nervous but also fun. Rhema distribution was actually to give out free Bible. I was distributing together with Ester.

So to the people there, we went "Hello, would you like a free Bible?" Well most of the people just say no thank you. However we did have some who are opened and would like to know more. Suprisingly most of them are young people. I felt very happy and excited when someone say "I'll have one, thank you". Honestly, I actually felt more happier than scoring a 100% in a test. It was a feeling I don't want to forget. I was rejoiced because there was a faint hope that this person who want the Bible, might read it and Lord will shine the light into this person spirit for In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it. (John 1: 4-5). In the other hand when someone say no, thank you, I was feeling sorry for them. I looked at them carefully and just say thank you back. What happen if you don't accept Christ as your life? I'm not here to preach Christianity but to preach Christ. Today Christianity has became just another empty, meaningless, outwardly worship. It is sad to say most of them have moved away from the matter of having Christ as life.....I respect to other people's belief. However how we worship, it is still better to worship a "living" God, a God that has created us and loves us and we will love Him back. Oh Lord Jesus I love you because you first love me. Can you declare such love to the God you believe?
After a morning of distributing, we decided to pack and leave. It has struckked me a bit when we were readying to leave. I just remember that the gospel we preach in today's age is the gospel of grace. The gospel of grace will not be forever preached. It will stop when the number is fullfilled. My dearest friends and family, I hope you are one of the count. It sounds crazy but I cannot neglect the fact - the history of Israel, the fulfillment of the prophesied word in the Bible in previous age and this age, the preservation of the Bible (thinking about how many times in human history when certain events that can fully whipped out the Bible but it still stay firm until today) and the most is my joy and peace when I pray to Him (because man is the only creature that is created with the spirit and man's spirit is the organ to contact our God. Man's spirit is like another thing e.g. man's soul and man's flesh)
The afternoon we have everyone there praising, singing, sharing, encouraging, prophesying etc... The meeting was glorious and full of riches. This is the church. The Christianity has made many people relating the word church to the building that has a cross on it. That should be refered to a building or meeting hall. If we really come to the scripture we will realize that the church is actually when believers come together worshipping God in their spirit. This is a church. (Corinthians 1: 2). Bind the enemy who cause confusion among God's children. Hallelujah this is the church life. Spiritually and body satisfaction. No more anxiety from the world. We have Christ as our real food and we have brothers and sisters' love to feed our tummy. =)
God loves children too.

Another great weekend away (part I)

Saturday for me meant to be a slightly longer lie in day since I have been up at 6am from Mon to Fri getting ready for work. However this day (14th Jun 08) I got up at 6:30am to catch my train at 7:30am. Bearing with my half opened and half closed eye I reached the train station, printed out the pre-booked fast ticket and boarded the train. Yeah! I'm heading to York to meet up with Ruby and other sisters and also the couple who has just migrated from USA to York.

They have very cute children and they're smart too. The boy who is three was telling me how to read and his sister who is one was feeding her baby doll. Very cute.

Before meeting them I took a stroll in York city centre. That day was a Saturday for course you get many people out visiting and shopping. What a coincidence the time when I'm in York was happened to be to the queen of England's birthday (just the official birthday not her real birthday though). So they held a salutation event in the Garden Museum of York. UK each year has only five salutating stations - no doubt is London, Belfast, Cardiff, Edinburgh and York (representing the North of England). Quite a number of people were there watching. I was at the very front row. A lady next to me told us that one of the people who fired the canon was her daughter. We started to chat and realize that she knew Sabah and Kota Kinabalu. Her son is currently there back-packing. That morning has been sunny and on-off drizzling. Prince Andrew (the one on the stage) and the other big people were there. Not a clue who are the others. =PThe couple from USA gave us really warm hospitality. Julia is a Korean and Allan an American. So their children are mixed blood. Very pretty and handsome. That night Julia made us nice Korean dinner. Ruby, Li Jing, Ester, Jia Nuo and I were all stuffed. Everyone was chilling and happy. Gosh that night just ended so quick.

Tomorrow we all travelled to Leeds. Stay tune for part 2.
