God's Favor on His Consecrated Vessel

“Make sacred garments for your brother Aaron to give him dignity and honor. Tell all the skilled workers to whom I have given wisdom in such matters that they are to make garments for Aaron, for his consecration, so he may serve me as priest.” Exodus 28:2-3

Thank you, Jesus for bestowing us with tremendous favor and blessings of dignity and honor for this 3rd mission trip to USA. For us to come and be accepted and warmly welcomed in this great nation, once a glorious country that has birthed legendary servants of God, the Lord bestowed us with an extraordinary gift to draw in abundant harvest and to usher us into the presence of the great.

Proverbs 14:4

"Where there are no oxen, the manger is empty, but from the strength of an ox comes an abundant harvest."

Proverbs 18:16

"A gift opens the way for the giver

and ushers him into the presence of the great."

2 Corinthians 4:7

"But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us."

2 Timothy 2:20-21

"In a large house there are articles not only of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay; some are for ordinary purposes and some for extraordinary. If a man cleanses himself from the latter, he will be an instrument for extraordinary purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work."

When God rained down His fire on me to burn and purify me, it was for one purpose: to fill His holy temple with His glory (light) to accomplish and finish the mission that He has given me; just like the glory of God came down to fill the temple which Solomon dedicated to the Lord.

2 Chronicles 7:1-2 

"When Solomon finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices, and the glory of the Lord filled the temple. The priests could not enter the temple of the Lord because the glory of the Lord filled it.”

Wherever He sends us (our Arsenal of Fire team) the demons can see that our bodies are filled with the glory (light) of God.

Mark‫ 5:6-7

“When he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell on his knees in front of him. He shouted at the top of his voice, “What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? In God’s name don’t torture me!”

Acts 19:15

[One day] the evil spirit answered them, “Jesus I know, and I know about Paul, but who are you?”

Acts 19:16

"Then the man who had the evil spirit jumped on them and overpowered them all. He gave them such a beating that they ran out of the house naked and bleeding."

This is how the Lord testifies that He has sent us: John 5:36, " .... For the very work that the Father has given me to finish, and which I am doing, testifies that the Father has sent me."

God manifests His (glory) Presence in me as fire (the glorious or laser light or blue flame) that beams through my body. Indeed, He took me up in the spirit once to witness it for myself. It was to such an awesome extent that whenever I step into a meeting place, the place is set on fire with the awesome manifest glory of God.

His awesome Presence is how He introduces us to the people.

Exodus 33:14-18

"The Lord replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” Then Moses said to him, “If your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here. How will anyone know that you are pleased with me and with your people unless you go with us? What else will distinguish me and your people from all the other people on the face of the earth?” And the Lord said to Moses, “I will do the very thing you have asked, because I am pleased with you and I know you by name.” Then Moses said, “Now show me Your glory.”

Joshua 3:7

And the Lord said to Joshua, “Today I will begin to exalt you in the eyes of all Israel, so they may know that I am with you as I was with Moses.

My worship to the Lord is offering my body as a living sacrifice similar to how Solomon dedicated the temple to God.

Romans 12:1

"Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God–this is your spiritual act of worship."

Consecration

Watchman Née: "Men do not choose to consecrate themselves to God; it is God who chooses men to be consecrated to Him. All who believe they are doing God a favor by forsaking everything to serve Him lack the insight of the meaning of consecration. Let them make a hasty retreat, for they are not the chosen."

What is the result of consecration? The result is holiness, for the fruit of consecration is holiness (Exodus 28). Deliverance from the power of sin comes not from the blood but from the Cross, while forgiveness comes not from the Cross but from the blood.

John 15:16

You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit–fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.

J. S. Baxter quotes:-

What God chooses, He cleanses. 

What God cleanses, He molds.

What God molds, He fills. 

What God fills, He uses.

A Brief Introduction of Our Ministries in USA..

A brief introduction of our ministries in USA...

When our team came to USA in 2014 and 2015, it was in obedience to prepare and pave the way for our ministries. Of course, coming to USA involved heavy financing but we personally funded our flight tickets although my own business class air tickets were generously sponsored by my son, George.

God is good, awesome and faithful to His willing and obedient servants.

Isaiah 1:19
"If you are willing and obedient,
you will eat the best from the land;"

This trip, both Ps Esther and I are being hosted in a large, beautiful home located in an exclusive part of Saratoga, California in a wood fit for King and VIPs.

God has opened doors for our ministries and we walk into any meeting with the consuming, refining fire of God resting on us.

Isaiah 22:22

"I will place on his shoulder the key to the house of David; what he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open."

The hosts for the conferences and meetings, all well-respected and well-connected servants of God, could see the glory of the Lord resting upon us like a light that shines in and through us.

Isaiah 60:5
"Then you will look and be radiant,
your heart will throb and swell with joy;
the wealth on the seas will be brought to you,
to you the riches of the nations will come."

As God has made me a flame of fire (Hebrews 1:7) under the anointing of the fiery Lion of Judah, and upon Ps Esther, the anointing of the meek Lamb of God, we set the places ablaze wherever the Lord sends us, making us an awesome pair of the Lion and the Lamb ministries. 

His glory also shone upon the book "The Arsenal of Fire" as testified by those who have read the book.

Believers attending our meetings are respected pastors and key leaders who have been serving the Lord for a long time.

Proverbs 18:16

"A gift opens the way for the giver and ushers him into the presence of the great."

The Hall of Fame awaits us. This was His word given to us a decade ago in Joshua 3:7, And the Lord said to Joshua, “Today I will begin to exalt you in the eyes of all Israel, so they may know that I am with you as I was with Moses."

In the world, fame is honored. But in the Kingdom of God, the king honors obedience. Fame is nothing. Obedience is everything. 

All glory to our Lord Jesus Christ!

Amazing way on how God connects me to CKRM - Ps Katherine Kristin Low

Dear Ps Paul and Ps Esther,

I thank God for leading me to know you both and your ministry. It is such a pleasure and privilege to witness what God is doing, fulfilling His words in these last days through the powerful work of the Holy Spirit in your ministry.

I want to let you know that many times when I think about you and your ministry, a strong anointing and fire come down upon me. 

This is the first time I have ever experienced such strong anointing come upon me just by looking at a photograph at your website, even your profile photo on Whatsapp, and when you called my name. When I read your book, I fully understood what God has given to you.

The Lord has taught me that the baptism of Fire is a weapon. This is how I feel about your anointing- it’s offensive, powerful and destructive. It will awaken the spirit man inside a person and lift him or her to a different realm- the spiritual realm. It’s destructive to the work of the enemy and the flesh; it’s like when light comes in, darkness cannot stay. I only experienced this once before, when I met up with a person who saw Jesus face to face just a few weeks before I met her. The glory of God is upon her. And the Lord told me that the book Arsenal of Fire is a combination of the anointing and fire He has given to you, plus His Living Word! That’s why it’s so powerful. Every time when we read it, it’s as if we are given a spiritual jab or booster.

During a period of fasting and praying, the Lord taught me how to die to my flesh, body, mind and soul, and how to overcome my flesh and sinful nature by the power of the Holy Spirit. He required absolute obedience and taught me to listen to the Holy Spirit before acting or speaking. I remember Him saying 99% of obedience is equal to disobedience. Much later He led me to read I Samuel 15 about the fall of King Saul.

In 2015, the Lord sent me to reach out to 20 or more churches in the Philippines, as well as villages and barangays, conducting mini gospel crusades, revival meetings in churches and Pastors/leaders’ meeting. Many blind eyes and deaf ears were opened; legs that cannot walk for many years without support began to walk; many diseases and sicknesses were healed instantly. Those who have lived in deception of other occultic teachings began to open their eyes to see the true Gospel of Jesus Christ and gave their hearts to Jesus. It was almost a 100% conversion in every meeting. Most who came forward received both physical and emotional healing.

Many of the Pastors were touched by the Lord powerfully. Hearts were revived and they repented of their carnal ways. The Lord’s heart is really for the poor as stated in Isaiah 61.

Pastor Paul, the first time you spoke to me over the phone, you told me to come out of where I am right now and not to fear men. The third time I saw you in CKRM, you told me the same thing and told me to roar. I believe the Lord knows that after the previous church experience, I have a fear of being involved in human entanglement of power, position and carnal standards again even though I have answered His call to be a pastor and an evangelist. 

I believe the Lord wanted me to send you part of my spiritual testimony for you to know my spiritual experience/encounter and how I move with the Holy Spirit, and for you to see and confirm if it is God’s will for me to serve at CKRM church/ministry while both of you are away. 

The Lord told me that you will be one of my mentors during the 90 minutes when I was under the power of God; so please do give me advice on spiritual matters.

Thank you for taking time to read this.

The Lord bless you richly

In Christ Love,

Ps Katherine Kristin Low

God Introduces His Book with 'Signs & Wonders' 【上帝使用“神迹奇事”来介绍祂的书】

In 2014, the Chancellor and Founder of a renowned Chinese Seminary in California invited me to introduce our new book (Chinese edition) '列 火 军 火厍'. 

Since receiving the first shipment of the books, there has been many supernatural phenomena. It is just amazing how God manifests His glory through the book.

http://www.paul.ckrmleadership.com/introduction-of-our-book-2887228779208912877924211-at-arc-seminary-in-california.html

Many believers including pastors, who have attended our meetings, have experienced the power of God surge through them when we introduced the latest book (English edition). Below are some testimonies:-

Ricky Thong wrote:

I would like to share that I feel a warm stirring while reading Ps. Paul's WhatsApp both yesterday and this morning. I have just finished reading Judges 7, where Yahweh spoke to Gideon to separate the 300 men, who used their hands to drink water, and how Yahweh used these vessels to fight victoriously against the multitudes of Midianites, and Amalekites.

I give All Glory to our Lord Jesus, for His revelation and anointing. Amen.

Anthony Tan wrote:-

Ps Paul’s book “The Arsenal of Fire” demonstrates clearly what Apostle Paul meant when he wrote “My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, so that your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on God’s power.” 1 Corinthians 2:4-5. NIV

One night as I was beginning to read “The Arsenal of Fire”, I earnestly asked the Lord to touch me and to help to pray and worship Him.  And He did! I started to pray very loud in tongues and English and felt a surge of power flowing within me.  Praise the Lord! Our God is a God of Power and not just a philosophy.

The entire book speaks not just of power but also what is expected of a disciple of Christ; a disciple on fire for the Lord.  Chapter 10 on “Living a life, holy and pleasing to God " is awesome. The book is a constant reminder to remain faithful to the God of the Bible. The messages in “Arsenal of Fire” are a great help for me to be opened to the grace and power of God.  Thanks be to God! Thank you Ps Paul for being the instrument of God's fire today.

Ps Katherine Low shared with CKRM's congregants on May 14, 2016:-

I was invited by a friend to come to CKRM. I visited CKRM's website. Upon seeing Ps Paul's photograph, I fell to the floor under the power of God for 90 minutes. The Lord then told me to serve Him at CKRM. 

Ps Jeffrey Kumin wrote to us as follows:

"Ps Paul,

I feel heat all over my body right now and am a little drunk in the Spirit after seeing your photo holding your books and hearing your explanation.

Can anyone help to send a copy of the English version by courier service to Kota Kinabalu? Will pay the charges plus the book. Thank you! "

Ps Shehan's testimony:-

When Ps Shehan from Sri Lanka came up to the front to collect the book from Ps Paul, the power of God surged through him and threw him to the floor. This was witnessed by the whole congregation who attended the meeting. He was on the floor for about two hours. He later testified that the Lord took him in the spirit to visit many nations.

He wrote a comment in my blog article heading "Arsenal of Fire Ministries, USA"

"Amen! Ps Paul, you're a vessel or a power pack of fire. You are a power bank of fire. After your prayer of impartation, my life is never the same again. I am burning to see the glory of God filling the earth. Even while I am traveling in a bus, I am praying for people and witnessing. We're seeing many miracles taking place. God bless you and your team at CKRM!"

The book is generally good in presentation and the quality is comparable to those from international authors.

2014年，加州一家著名中文神学院的校长和创办人邀请我介绍我的中文版新书"烈火军火库"。

自从收到第一批书籍运送以来，出现了许多超自然现象。令人惊奇的是，上帝如何通过这本书来彰显祂的荣耀。

http://www.paul.ckrmleadership.com/introduction-of-our-book-2887228779208912877924211-at-arc-seminary-in-california.html

当我们推出这本新书的英文版时，许多信徒，包括参加了我们的聚会的牧师们经历了上帝的能力临到他们身上。以下是一些见证：-

Ricky Thong 写道：-

我想分享一下，昨天和今天上午阅读了保罗在WhatsApp所分享的信息时，我感到一股热量在我里面搅动。我刚刚读完士师记七章，耶和华吩咐基甸将用手捧着舔水的300人分开，以及耶和华如何用这些器皿与战胜米甸人和亚玛利人。

我把一切荣耀都归于主耶稣，因祂赐我他的恩膏和启示。阿门。

陈安东尼(Anthony Tan)写道： -

保罗牧师的著作“烈火军火库”清楚地说明了使徒保罗在写到歌林多前书2：4-5的真正意义“我说的话、讲的道，不是用智慧委婉的言语，乃是用圣灵和大能的明证， ⁵ 叫你们的信不在乎人的智慧，只在乎神的大能。”

一天晚上，当我开始读 “烈火军火库”时，我恳切地要求主触摸我，帮助我祷告和崇拜祂。 祂果然成就了我的祈求！我开始用方言和英语大声祷告，感到我里头有一股能力涌动着。 赞美主！我们的不仅仅是哲学， 而是有大能的神。

整本书不仅讲权力，而且讲基督门徒的该有的质量;为主燃烧的门徒。 关于第十章"活出一个圣洁并讨神喜悦的生命"真的很棒。这本书不断提醒人们要忠于圣经的神。“烈火军火库”里头的信息对我是一个极大的帮助，并使我向上帝的恩典和能力敞开了。 感谢上帝！谢谢你·保罗牧师愿意成为上帝之火今日的器皿。

Katherine 牧师于 2016 年 5 月 14 日与基督国度崇高掌权基督中心（ CKRM） 在座的会友们分享：-

我受一位朋友的邀请来CKRM。我看了CKRM的网站。看到保罗牧师的照片时，我在上帝的大能之下倒在地上有90分钟。主然后告诉我要在CKRM服事祂。

Jeffrey Kumin牧师向我们写说：-

"保罗牧师，看到你的照片拿着你的书，听到你的解释后，我现在全身都感到热，也稍微在灵里醉了。

有谁能帮忙用快递发送一本英文版到哥打京那巴鲁？将支付快递费和书。谢谢！"

Shehan牧师的见证：-

当来自斯里兰卡的 Shehan牧师走到前面，从保罗牧师手里提这本书时，上帝的能力从涌入他身上，把他扔击倒到地上。他在地上大约两小时。他后来见证说他在灵里被主提，到许多国家去拜访。

他在我的博客文章"美国烈火军火库事工"发表说：-

"阿门！保罗牧师，你是一个火的器皿或是一个火的能力包。你是火的电源库。在你为我祷告分赐后，我的生命不再一样了。我渴望看到上帝的荣耀遍满全地。即使我乘坐公车，我也在为人们祷告和向他们传福音。我们看到许多神迹正在发生。上帝赐福你和你在CKRM的团队！

Arsenal of Fire Ministries, USA 【美国烈火军火库事工】

Arsenal of Fire Ministries, USA was incorporated on April 4, 2016. It marks our entry into USA.

IRS website states that we can expect to wait about 180 days before we hear from them about the status of our tax exemption status. Well guess what??? We received the approval letter in 46 days after mailing the application. God's favor is mind-blowing! Thank you Jesus!

One of the office bearers is a pastor from Silicon Valley. God gave her a dream of our Singapore prayer house about two years ago. She came to Singapore and one of our church members met her in a meeting and invited her to meet Ps Esther and me. She came and was amazed because she recognized the surrounding tall buildings and the trees as what she saw in that dream. Our meeting for the first time was a divine appointment.

The current pockets of revival sweeping across America have a common theme which is the fire of God and the manifestation of fire in healings, deliverances, miracles, signs and wonders, intercessions, evangelisms, prophetic  and apostolic impartations. 

The best is yet ahead. God's last-days warrior brides will be equipped with the Arsenal of Fire (Jeremiah 50:25) for the coming revival. We can tell the enemy, "Resistance is futile." This revival is about transforming radical gospel persecutors into radical preachers of the gospel, drawing many radical preachers of other faith to fearlessly preach the gospel in a last move to draw all nations to Him as in: 

Romans 9:25-26

As He says in Hosea: "I will call them ‘my people’ who are not my people; and I will call her ‘my loved one’ who is not my loved one,” and, "It will happen that in the very place where it was said to them, 'You are not my people,’ they will be called ‘sons of the living God.’ ”

The disciples will bear the true mark of Sonship. Like the Mount Carmel's challenge between Elijah and the 850 prophets of Baal, the world will witness the greatest deployment of heaven's fire power against the forces of darkness, filling all people to the fullness of His knowledge and glory.

All glory to our Lord Jesus Christ!

美国烈火军火库事工于二零一六年四月四日成立。它标志着我们事工正式入境美国。

美国税务局的网站指出，我们可预计等待大约一百八十天，然后从他们那里听到有关我们免税申请的消息。猜猜看??? 我们在寄出申请后的四十六天内就收到了批准信。神的恩惠令人振奋！谢谢祢，主耶稣！

其中一位五重职分是来自美国硅谷的牧师。大约两年前，神给了她一个梦，梦见我们的新加坡祷告楼。她来到新加坡，我们的一位会后在一个特会里遇见了她，并邀请她会见以斯帖牧师和我。当她来到时，她非常惊讶，因为她认出周围的高楼大厦和树木是她之前在梦里所看到的。我们双方的第一次会面真是神圣的约会。

目前席卷美国许多地区的复兴火点有一个共同的主题，那就是神的火，还有神的火彰显于医治释放，神迹奇迹，代祷，传福音，先知性和使徒性分赐。

最好的还在前面。神的末日新妇战士将配备烈火军火库（耶利米50：25），为即将到来的复兴预备好。我们可以告诉仇敌，“它的抵抗是徒劳的。”这复兴是关于将福音的极端逼迫者翻转为福音的激进传道人，吸引许多其他信仰的在最后一棒激进无畏地传讲福音，将列国吸引归向神，就如罗马书九25-26所说：

就像神在何西阿书上说：“那本来不是我子民的，我要称为我的子民；本来不是蒙爱的，我要称为蒙爱的。从前在什么地方对他们说‘你们不是我的子民’，将来就在那里称他们为‘永生神的儿子’。”

门徒将承带着神儿女身份的真正印记。就像在迦密山上以利亚和八百五十位巴勒先知之间的挑战一样，世界将见证天堂最大火力的部署来对抗黑暗权势，使所有人充满着神的知识和荣耀。

一切荣耀归于我们的主耶稣！

A Glorious Church

I write this article in reply to some questions posed to me about why in CKRM, it is common to see people come and go. Here are some of the answers:-

My book 'The Arsenal of Fire' was written with the purpose of sharing my walk with the Lord. It is a call to return to the very basics: that is to love Him with all my heart, mind and soul and to be holy as He is holy so that my physical body is a worthy vessel to host His manifest presence.

Our God-given ministry is to build a glorious Church with people who are filled with the fullness of God, and not a church filled with lukewarm Christians warming the pews. For such a glorious Church, it is normal that there will be people who come, and later leave if they are not ready or prepared to meet God's standard of absolute purity and holiness required to be part of the last days' glorious warrior brides. 

God uses humble people to host His manifest presence (glory). He opposes the proud and gives grace to the humble (James 4:6). People who are so naturally unteachable, disobedient and proud cannot stand in His awesome manifest presence. Light expels darkness so when light comes, darkness flees. This is the reason why many Christians remain in the ordinary salvation stage of kingdom level where God, as written in 2 Corinthians 1:22, "set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come."

I suppose most Christians recite our Lord's Prayer daily without really knowing what they are reciting: '…For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory forever and ever.’ Hence many believers simply remain in the kingdom level though some may eventually cross over to the power level, if they are truly hungry.

Hebrews 11:6 says that without faith it is impossible to please God and Hebrews 12:14 states that without holiness no one will see the Lord. This is the glory level where our physical bodies hold His manifest presence.

People and even demons can identify a servant of God whose physical body hosts His manifest presence (Mark 5:2-7, Acts 16:17).

I have often been asked why at CKRM some people just come, stay for a season and leave while some stay on, fully committed to the Church and become co-workers.

The answer is this; Jesus said in John 15:16, "You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit–fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name."

Some leave because they have been made ready to be launched out for their new season. Others leave not having passed the tests thrown at them to qualify them as warrior brides and some were even instigated to leave by those who left because they did not get what they wanted. Perhaps this will help to clarify some matters that the leaders have frequently been questioned on.

"For many are called but few are chosen."

Ps Paul K. P. Ang

Uncompromised Obedience in Doing God's Will

God’s call defies human understanding. For Mary, it was having a strong faith to obey the calling, despite the fact that there was no biblical precedence of a virgin giving birth. Her bold step of faith changed the destiny of the world.

For Noah, he had great faith to obey God despite knowing that he will face the ridicule of building a boat in the middle of a vast dry land which had no past history of a flood. As a result of his strong faith, he and his family survived the worldwide calamity.

God's gifts and calling are irrevocable. A Damascus Road encounter turned Saul, a murderer of Christians, into a great apostle and martyr named Paul in less than 30 seconds (Acts 9:3). Jesus' calling was to do the will of God by going to the Cross to be crucified.

After Jesus told His disciples about His coming death, Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him. “Never, Lord!” he said. “This shall never happen to you!” Jesus turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men" (Matthew 16:22-23).

When Sis Esther and I answered the call of God to set up a ministry in 2007, we too faced ridicule, were severely criticized and discredited by many close Christian friends, associates and pastors. A few years later, a senior pastor advised us to rebrand our ministry's name because of its controversy. This senior pastor was so fearful of being seen to be with us that he came quietly like Nicodemus (John 3:2) to visit us to receive impartation.

However, we stood firm without wavering. As a result, the ministry bore fruits, expanded and advanced beyond the shores of Singapore. There are so many amazing testimonies of the awesome works of God at our ministries. The fruits speak louder than any word could ever say.

The Lord does not so much reward His saints based upon their gifting as compared to their obedience, because gifting are given based on grace, but obedience is the mark of true sonship.

My testimony has encouraged many believers, not so much about the unique ways God uses me to minister but rather about how I yielded in obedience to the Lord’s voice in doing His will.

Our book, "The Arsenal of Fire" (English Edition) which provides an insight to the last-days move of God and our God's ordained ministry, will be available on the last week of April, 2016.

The Master's Cooking Pots

The Master's Cooking Pots

by Bonnie Jones - June 2015

"In a vision I was shown cooking pots of different colors and sizes, being distributed to a multitude of people. Many of these pots were large like the kind you would cook stew in, while others were smaller, perhaps the size used for cooking spaghetti noodles. Some of these pots were brand-new while others were old and badly dented and worn. Several pots were blackened from being on the fire too often or for too long. I began prophesying to the people concerning their pots.

All of these pots came directly from the Master Potter Himself. Each one arrived at its destination, clean and shiny and waiting to be utilized. The current condition of these pots was determined by its owner’s use. Some of them were still in their wrapper because their owner had never opened the package. They were unwilling or afraid to use the gift God had given them and explore the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Others were unwrapped but barely used, and placed on a shelf still looking new but they were literally useless. The fear of man and timidity were set in the owner’s heart allowing his soul to rule over his spirit.

Then there were those pots that were dinged and dented. They looked like they had been through a war. As a matter of fact, they had been through many, many battles of war and come out victorious. They triumphed over their enemy and had the battle scars to prove it. Their owners were valiant and brave and had fought the good fight of faith.

I saw many that were blackened and full of soot from being on the open fire. Their owners chose to stay the course. When the battle got extremely hot they girded up their loins and marched forward into battle. They overcame the enemy by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony. They feared not for their life and unto death they chose to stay in the furnace. All are called, but few choose to stay in the furnace.

The owner’s calling or anointing determined the size of his pot. Some were called to do little while others were called to do much. Therefore the greater the anointing, the bigger the pot. I took notice of their many different colors. Each color represented their anointing; blue for revelation, red for mercy, white for righteousness and silver for sanctification.

There were also new cooking pots being distributed to the owners who stayed the course and chose to stay in the fire. Their old pot was hanged up as a badge of honor and they were now being issued new ones. My new cooking pot was very large and white with a red rim and a matching lid. Therefore I am called to lead others to the way of righteousness and truth in this new season and the Father is my covering.

My questions to you are: what color is your cooking pot? Has it been unwrapped yet? Does it still look brand new or is it being used? Is it dinged and dented or perhaps burned by the fire? It’s always our own decision whether to stay in the fire or turn back when the going gets tough.

The last will be the first because they are the ones who choose to stay the course while the first will be last because they are the ones who turn and walk away.

So the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few chosen.” (Matthew 20:16)

Be encouraged because the Master Potter is polishing His wares. He is an equal-opportunity employer who plays no favorites. But He pays close attention to those who choose to follow after Him with a whole heart."

Bonnie Jones

God's SOP

The ONLY SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) that God issued to the Jews was the Ten Commandments. 

He said in Exodus 15:26:-

“If you listen carefully to the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep all his decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the Lord, who heals you.”

In the New Testament, when tested by a Pharisee, who was an expert in the law, on which was the greatest commandment in the Law, Jesus replied: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind" (Matthew 22:35-37).

John the Baptist came to prepare the way for the Lord. Matthew 3:1-2

"In those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the Desert of Judea and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.”

Jesus after passing the tests in the wilderness began to preach, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near" (Matthew 4:17).

Paul taught in Philippians 2:12, “Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling,”

Paul further said in Philippians 2:14-16, “Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, “children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.” Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky as you hold firmly to the word of life. And then I will be able to boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor in vain.”

If we take heed and follow the apostle Paul's teaching to work out our salvation with fear and trembling, we will not have the time to judge and point fingers at others. Then, God will shine through us as we are His ambassadors on earth and we represent Jesus to the world.

In 1 Corinthians 3:1-3, Paul said, “Brothers and sisters, I could not address you as people who live by the Spirit but as people who are still worldly—mere infants in Christ. I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it. Indeed, you are still not ready. You are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not worldly? Are you not acting like mere humans?”

We are just mere infants in Christ, lukewarm or worldly Christians if our hearts grip tightly to the worldly things.  Then God is not our treasure. "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." Matthew 6:21 

When we are saved, God puts His Spirit in our hearts as a deposit (2 Corinthians 1:22).  However, for the lukewarm Christians, God’s Spirit will remain a deposit since He will not rest His manifest presence on them.

Certain conditions must be met like obeying His Command, to love God, put Him first above everything and to obey Him.

John 14:21

"Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show (manifest) myself to him.”

John 14:23

Jesus replied, “If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him."

Like it or not, the SOP of God is to put Him first above everything ...  as in Matthew 6:33: "But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."

The Rapid Changing Time

During the press conference to announce NOKIA being acquired by Microsoft, Nokia CEO ended his speech saying this “we didn’t do anything wrong, but somehow, we lost”. Upon saying that, all his management team, himself included, teared sadly.

Nokia has been a respectable company. They didn’t do anything wrong in their business, however, the world changed too fast. Their opponents were too powerful. They missed out on learning, they missed out on changing, and thus they lost the opportunity at hand to make it big. Not only did they miss the opportunity to earn big money, they lost their chance of survival.

We too, need to change and catch up with the time otherwise we will be removed from the competition.

On Nokia's failure, Ziyad Jawabra (Freelance Management Trainer, International and Relocation Consultant) has this to say:-

"Those who refuse to learn and improve will definitely one day become redundant and not relevant to the industry. They will learn the lesson in a hard and expensive way."

The advantage that you have yesterday, will be replaced by the trends of tomorrow, as long as your competitors catch the wave and do it right, you can lose it and fail. The world is rapidly changing every day and no one is going to wait for you. Digital camera replaces negative film. With 4G Smart phones, we can access information readily without having to log-on to our home computer. WhatsApp, with its free messaging has replaced the normal texting.

So if you don't change, you will be left behind.

We are in a season of great change and massive harvesting of souls. God is moving so rapidly to fill the whole earth with His glory that nation after nation will come to know our Lord Jesus Christ.

The Legendary Evangelist , apostle of faith, Smith Wigglesworth (1859 - 1947) experienced a prophetic vision where he saw two great revivals sweep across the world. The first, known as the "Word Movement" occurred during the 1970s and the second, "Spiritual Revival", came later, in the 1990s.

However, in this vision, he saw something much bigger and more powerful that was to happen following these two revivals. This is when the Word and the Spirit (or anointing) were 'married.' Unfortunately, he died before he saw any of the revivals.

God is doing many things in the last days. Prophetic pioneer, Dr Bill Hamon wrote in his book, "Personally, I never want to be found resisting or fighting any new thing that God is doing within His church."

We all need to be transformed by the renewing our mind (Romans 12:2), and to let God have His Way as He is always doing new things (Isaiah 43:19).

We need to let God have His way in His house to feed us with fresh manna or new wine (anointing). Otherwise, we will be left behind and miss what God has for each one of us to play a more effective role in this massive harvest of the Great Commission.
