THE MEANS OF GRACE: THE LIVING WORD OF GOD

In the previous post we mentioned Dr. Jacob Chelli praying 2.33 hours a day & how he read through the Bible few hundred times. This is an example how the Fire of God can burn brightly through our lives – using the means of grace in prayer & the Word of God

Prince of Preacher Charles Haddon Spurgeon not only read the Bible. He has a Huge library of Commentaries on the Bible & lots of Puritanical Books.

His collection of Books filled his Study from wall to wall & he had to employ a personal librarian to keep track

Among his thousands of books one stood out “THE PILGRIM’S PROGRESS” by John Bunyan

Spurgeon read THE PILGRIM PROGRESS more than 100 times.

Yes, Spurgeon read PILGRIM PROGRESS more than a hundred times!

He said “it pricked him” everywhere.

True indeed. The PILGRIM PROGRESS is next to the Bible

Let’s look at one example

Fire Burning Against the Wall

THE FIRE BEHIND THE WALL

Then I saw in my dream that the Interpreter took Christian by the hand and led him to where there was a fire burning brightly by a wall. Now Christian was about to enjoy its warmth when he was gruffly pushed aside by an angry man with two pails of water.

“Out of my way, fool!”

The man set the bucket down and then tossed the contents of  the other and shouting angrily, “Out, cursed flame! (Tshhh) Out i say! (Pssss) And out again!  Take that! (Tshhh)

Next he took up the other bucket and tried to douse the flames. But no matter how much water he cast on the fire, he could do no more than make it choke and sputter for a moment. Then the flames would rise again, higher and hotter than before.

“Oh what’s wrong with this miserable worthless water!” grumbled the man. “Out foul flames (Tshhh)  Out! Ahh. Out cursed light (Pssss) Out! Out! Out! Hah! (Tssss)

“What means this?” queried the puzzled pilgrim.

“The work you see is the work of grace burning in the heart of one who loves God. He who seeks to douse it is the devil.”

“But is spite of his best efforts to put it out, the fire burns higher and hotter.”

“Ah yes, Heh, heh, heh,” chuckled the Interpreter. “And the reason for that thou shalt soon see. Whilst he goes off to refill his buckets, come, around  the wall behind with me”

So he took him behind the wall where he saw a noble-looking gentleman standing with a vessel in his hand.

Christian soon perceived He was often pouring oil into the golden tube that passed through the wall and supplied the fire with fuel.

Then Christian asked, “And what does this mean?”

“This is Christ, whispered the Interpreter reverently.”

“He, by continually applying the oil of His grace, sustains the flame of love in our hearts!”

“Ah.”

“Because of Christ’s constant help, it matters not what trials the devil may pour in upon us. “The oil of the Spirit floats above them all and the flame of love burns brighter still.”

“Aha,” said Christian thankfully. “A good lesson for me!”

“And did you notice how our Lord stood behind the wall to maintain the fire?”

“Aye, I wondered about that, why so?”

“To teach thee, dear Pilgrim, that even when you cannot see Him, Christ is always near. No matter what doubts may come or fears assail, your faith may burn brightly still.

To be continued with Calvin comments…..

 

But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.

The great success of the 1978 Evangelist Campaign was due to 2 things: we will give ourselves continually to prayer and the ministry of the Word.

Read again

Acts 6:4-6 King James Version (KJV)

But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.

Very true indeed!

After more than 42 years now since year 1978 the MINISTRY OF PRAYER is ever more vital than that memorable week of Soul winning Campaign culminating with SOM (School of Mission) 1st Graduation Service

On that 1978 December night in Singapore Life Bible Presbyterian Church in Singapore Dr. Jacob Chelli was the Guest Preacher

See

Standing front left is Rev Dr Jacob Chelli the Founder of Berean Baptist Bible College & Seminary in Bangalore, India https://www.bereanbaptistbiblecollege.com/

Front right is Rev Dr Peter Ng Eng Hoe the Founder of Jesus Saves Mission & School of Mission (SOM) Singapore

Standing between Dr Chelli & Dr Peter Ng slightly behind and half hidden from view

is Rev Dr Wally Tow Siang Hwa who Founded Calvary Pandan Bible Presbyterian Church in Pandan Gardens (S’pore). Dr. Tow was also instrumental in formation of Calvary Jurong Bp Church in Tao Ching Road as well as many other Bp Churches and among them Calvary Jaya Bp Fellowship (Malaysia) a decade later.

Now the memory of these Men of Prayer and their labours remind us of Acts 6:4

WE WILL GIVE OURSELVES CONTINUALLY TO PRAYER

That night Dr. Jacob Chelli preached and mentioned the Cult Jim Jones of Jones Town in which more than 900 people died in a mass- murder suicide.

It compelled us to go out to preach the truth as errors abound

Dr. Jacob Chelli was invited to be our Bible Conference Speaker in Penang Hill, Malaysia

Here he revealed to us how he prayed

As a Baptist he believed in giving 10% of our tithe to God. But he mentioned something new to all of us

He said just as we tithe our money we should also tithe our time

We should give one tenth of our time to God in prayer everyday

One day has 24 hours. So 1/10 is 2 hours 20 minutes

Wow!

That is a high calling and challenge!

At that time of course we shrugged it off as we prayed 3 times each day

1 hour of prayer in the morning

1 hour of prayer after lunch (the most sleepy hour)

1 hour of prayer at night (It was 2 hours at night until I told Dr Peter Ng to make in one hour or else there is not enough time to do our Studies in SOM)

And those 4 year spent (75 to 78) were very blessed times of prayer (not including extra times of own personal prayer & fasting times, Wednesday Evening Prayer & Friday All Night Prayer at Mt Faber

Now Dr Jacob Chelli prayed on his own and on his knees!

His time spent in prayer caused him to have calloused knees like camels knees.

We read about it before

In his Church History (c. 325), Eusibius writes:

But Hegesippus, who lived immediately after the apostles, gives the most accurate account in the fifth book of his Memoirs. He writes as follows:

… [James](brother of Jesus)  alone was permitted to enter into the holy place; for he wore not woolen but linen garments. And he was in the habit of entering alone into the temple, and was frequently found upon his knees begging forgiveness for the people, so that his knees became hard like those of a camel, in consequence of his constantly bending them in his worship of God, and asking forgiveness for the people.

So here is a Man of Prayer

Dr. Jacob Chelli once mentioned that he will never leave his house if there is no peace in his heart. He will even wait upon God for peace even if he is late in boarding a plane. He said, “The plane will not fly without Jacob Chelli on it” True indeed, God delayed the plane for His servant

Because he gave time to God – God gave time to work for him

Now it has been great joy to hear that Dr. Chelli help founded over 2,000 Baptist Churches in the dark continent of India. He read the Bible more than 420 times in his Life Time (This is 10 times more than Dr John Sung who read thru the Bible 40 times) Such is a Giant in Prayer and in the Word

Last year at the wake of Dr Tow Siang Hwa we heard one of his daughter mentioning how they spent hours & hours praying for so many people. Praying for people they don’t even know

For Dr Peter Ng the times spent in Prayer on Friday Night last 6 hours from 10pm Friday Night to 4 am Saturday morning

The Clarion Call to Prayer is as Vital Today as 42 years ago

“No man is greater than his prayer life. The pastor who is not praying is playing; the people who are not praying are straying. We have many organizers, but few agonizers; many players and payers, few pray-ers; many singers, few clingers; lots of pastors, few wrestlers; many fears, few tears; much fashion, little passion; many interferers, few intercessors; many writers, but few fighters. Failing here, we fail everywhere.”
― Leonard Ravenhill

BUT WE WILL GIVE OURSELVES CONTINUALLY TO PRAYER AND TO THE MINISTRY OF THE WORD (Acts 6:4)

Below is a graduation service of Berean Baptist Bible College & Seminary

 

They that sow in tears shall Reap in Joy (Psalm 126:6)

Sometime in the 1980s  we conducted a Soul Winning Campaign  in KL JSM

Unlike Singapore BHS JSM (Sept 1978 Successful Campaign) & Penang JSM 1979 & 1980 (Prayer support)

the KL JSM Soul Winning Campaign was a disappointment. Not even one person got saved

Not only that, I offended my brother Tong Yee Cham when i was too strict with him when he did not cut his hair to the shorter length I wanted. I did not allow him to chair for one Soul winning Meeting night. I took over the chairing & also gave the message at the same time.  I was totally wrong & dictatorial. And it was my fault that the Holy Spirit was grieved & the Meetings were not blessed

During one Friday Night Prayer Meeting on Gasing Ridge I pondered over the State of the Church & started to weep & weep.

Not only no soul got saved I also stumbled my brother by my unkind attitude

I was totally miserable before God

I could only pray and ask God to have mercy on His people

Then one day the Church phone rang

On the line was Ms Yee Choi Lin, a contact of one Church member.

I witnessed to her on the phone. And I felt the LORD’s working. When I gave out te invitation and asked her to pray the sinner’s prayer over the phone she readily accepted. The good LORD opened her heart to the gospel.

So Sis Yee Choi Lin was one of our earliest Converts in KL JSM

But it didn’t end there. She also brought her Sis Rebekah Yee to Church. And she too, got saved.

Then she brought her younger sis Yee Choi Wah to Church. And she accepted Christ. Sister Choi continued to bring more of her friends to Church & the Congregation increased

How we thank God for His Unfailing Promise in Psalm 126:6

Psalm 126:6 King James Version (KJV)

He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him

Below is the Baptism Time taken at Templer’s Park, KL

Standing in the middle is Sis Yee Choi Lin. Second from right is Sis Rebekah Yee (our Prayer Warrior)

And standing 1st from far right is Mrs. Ho (Her conversion will be another story)

Behind is the public pool in Templer’s Park

 

LOOK AGAIN AT THE WONDER PROMISE OF ALMIGHTY GOD AGAIN

 He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him

We repeat

It says

shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him

We wept on Gasing Ridge

Both Sisters Choi Lin & Rebecca attended our Friday Night Prayer From 10pm to 2am on Gasing Ridge in the photo below (circa 1980s)

Kneeling 2nd from left is Sister Rebecca & 3rd from left is Sis Choi Lin

MANY NIGHTS WE PRAYED IN CHURCH ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT & ON FRIDAY NIGHTS AT GASING RIDGE, PETALING JAYA

THOSE WERE GLORIOUS DAYS AND NIGHTS OF PRAYER

MAY ALL GLORY BE TO OUR MOST GLORIOUS LORD AND SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST

AMEN & AMEN!

FINDING GRACE AT GOD’S THRONE TO HELP IN TIMES OF NEED

Hebrews 4:16 King James Version (KJV)

16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

The 1990s were times of prayer. The Spirit of Prayer was with us.

After Calvary Jaya Bp Fellowship was established we attended its services in Section 17, Petaling Jaya, Malaysia.

The young Church grew in membership.

One evening we attended A Gospel Film Show.

It was one that was Spirit inspired and gave great conviction

I was very blessed. Just before the film ended Rev. Lim Jit Thye (Chinese Pastor) asked me to give a brief gospel message after the Film Show. I requested the brethren to pray while i gave an impromptu message

Ha! No time was given except for a brief 15 minutes to prepare and sum up my thoughts as to what i should speak.

Then i remembered the times spent in daily prayer

16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

Yes, dear LORD, this is your servant time of need! Having been to The Throne of Grace and boldly praying (not knowing what to ask before) now we know; and we urgently needed “Timely help” at this most crucial time like now.

When i opened my mouth I immediately felt assisted with an unction of power. And the simple invitation went forth in power

At the invitation 3 people raised their hands to receive Christ as LORD and Savior (Now this has been the practise in JSM & also among the Baptist Churches, but not in Calvary Bp Churches. Bp Churches normally don’t ask for raising of hands publicly in response to preaching)

But that night of nights in PJ 3 persons raised their hands at the Gospel invitation

Among them were a brother called Danny (teacher) and one we could not recall the name now. And one sister called Danielle Ding Lai Yat raised up her hand to accept Christ. To our gladness Danielle later became the wife of Rev. Lee Kim Shong (the current Pastor of Calvary Jaya Bp Fellowship

So on hindsight our time spent at the Throne of Grace prepares us with God’s timely help in times of need

As the song goes

Thou art coming to a Throne

  Large petitions with thee bring

For His grace and power are such;

  That none can ever ask too much

Amen & Amen

We  hesitate to go and appear before Great men, VIP & Kings
BUT WE SHOULD NEVER BE AFRAID TO GO TO OUR LORD JESUS THE KING OF KINGS
We are told to come BOLDLY to the Throne of Grace
Of course we should never be presumptuous but appear before our God in reverence after confessing and forsaking all known sins.
God delights in His Children’s Prayers
See

REMEMBERING DR TOW SIANG HWA ONE YEAR PASSING

Time has flown. A year has passed since the passing of Dr Tow Siang Hwa.

Though absent in body. His memory remains. It was in year 1978 when I first heard him spoke in BHS Jesus Saves Mission as a guest speaker.

The message was against the compromising Billy Graham Crusade in Singapore then. Both JSM & Dr. Tow held the fundamentalist view of separation from compromise. His message was filled with pepper and chilli as he called it then.

10 years later in 1988 when we resigned from JSM we attended the Calvary Jaya Bp Fellowship in Damansara Jaya founded by Dr Tow

How we thank God for raising up this Fundamental Stand in these last days

In year 1989 Calvary Pandan from Singapore paid for the current Calvary Jaya BP Fellowship Church building at 1, Jalan 17/1, Section 17, PJ for Rm590,000 as an outright purchase after the Bank failed to auction it. The piece of land next door was purchased at the same time for Rm190,000 on the same day.

But to get a Church permit is difficult and Elder Choe Tong Seng told the Deacons to scout for a suitable Shophouse nearby to hold Church Service legally.

Meanwhile we asked members to pray 24 hour Chain Prayer

Each person who volunteered will take up one or more hours to pray. The hours of daylight were easily filled. Then some took the 12 midnight to 1am slot. And some took up the 1am to 2am watch hour. The wee hours from 2am to 4am were quite empty. Tough then as most members  were professionals who need to rise early for work everyday. And so the Church prayed

Thanks be to God. Finally the Church is registered under the Society Acts and instead of Calvary Jaya BP Church it is called Calvary Jaya BP Fellowship (Society) today. Swiftly 31 years have passed.

It was Dr Tow who told us to take a Multivitamin each day with a glass of water every morning before breakfast. I have been doing this for over 30 years now.

Another piece of great advise was from Dr. Choe (A pharmacist by training) who told me to take High dosage of Vitamin C for flu

And see my article

TAKE MEGA DOSE VITAMIN C AS PROTECTION FROM FLU OR CORONAVIRUS:, Calvin Tan Research

Author: calvintaneng   |    Publish date: 


Hi guys,

I used to have flu and running nose till age past 30 years. On some days when the flu is extra bad I had to wet 2 hankerchiefs

Quite embarrassing indeed!

Until I attended a Church in PJ, Selangor.

There I met Mr Gabriel Choe Tong Seng (Now Dr. Gabriel Choe Tong Seng)

He asked me why I kept covering my nose with hankerchief as I sat in Church during sermon.

I told him I have been having incurable running nose whenever I get a flu

He told me to take Vitamin C in mega doses

It worked!

And for the netx 30 years I had no serious flu problem as I used to take Mega dose of Vit C everyday

AN URGENT CALL TO PRAY FOR 2 ITEMS: 1) GOVERNMENT OF MALAYSIA… 2) EARLY END TO CORONAVIRUS

Dear Friends & Prayer Warriors

  1. FOR THE GOVERNMENT OF MALAYSIA THAT GOD WILL RAISE UP LEADERS ACCORDING TO HIS WILL
  2.  FOR EARLY ENDING TO CORONAVIRUS THE ONGOING PESTILENCE

 

  1. FOR THE WILL OF GOD ALMIGHTY IN THE NEW GOVERNMENT OF MALAYSIA TO BE APPOINTED

1 Timothy 2 King James Version (KJV)

I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;

For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;

Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

 

We are told to pray for kings, and for all that are in authority;  that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

 

SO PLEASE PRAY FOR THE AGONG (KING OF MALAYSIA) Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah

THAT GOD WILL RAISE UP IN MALAYSIA A NEW LEADERSHIP OF TRUE GOVERNERS  THAT WILL PUT THE WELFARE OF THE NATION AND PEOPLE ABOVE SELF

 

AMEN & AMEN

 

2) PRAY THAT ALMIGHTY GOD WILL HASTEN THE ENDING OF THE CORONAVIRUS

 

LET US ASK GOD TO BRING FORWARD THE HOT SUMMER SEASON SO THAT THE COLD SPELL OF INFECTIONS FROM CORONAVIRUS WILL BE STOPPED

IN ANSWER TO JOSHUA’S PRAYER GOD CAUSE ONE DAY TO BE EXTENDED IN HISTORY OF MANKIND

AND IN ANSWER TO KING HEZEKIAH’S PRAYER THE SUN DIAL MOVED BACKWARD (SO THE DAY CAN MOVE BACK WITH THE POWER GOD BY PRAYER

YES! PRAYER TO GOD CAN MOVE SUMMER WEATHER FORWARD

AMEN & AMEN

 

YOURS IN CHRIST JESUS

Calvin

 

PLEASE SPREAD THIS MESSAGE FAR AND WIDE

 

LISTEN TO THE PROMISE OF GOD TO KING SOLOMON

2 Chronicles 7:14 King James Version (KJV)

14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

12 And the Lord appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him, I have heard thy prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for an house of sacrifice.

13 If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people;

14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

15 Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place.

I Remember Brother Amos Fortunato Depasquale

The year was 1977. We had the most powerful revival on Penang Hill of which more than 30 young men & women responded to the Call to serve God

Among those who attended the Camp of about 150 people or more was Brother Amos Depasquale

Here is a man of great compassion and prayer.

He together with a number of us started confessing our sins publicly. And God poured out His Spirit. It was then a time of fervent confessions & reconciliations. Oh how blessed!

Next year Brother Amos visited us in Singapore & he fasted and prayed for 7 days on liquid only (no solid food)

We got him some packets of milk.

And one particular day I went up with Brother Amos to Mt Faber

Here beholding the pure pristine  view from Mt Faber he asked me to sing

Holy, Holy, Holy
Holy, holy, holy
Lord, God Almighty
Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee
Holy, holy, holy
Merciful and mighty
God in three persons blessed Trinity
Holy, holy, holy
Though the darkness hide Thee
Though the eye of sinful man thy glory may not see
Only Thou art holy; there is none beside Thee
Perfect in power, in love, and purity
Holy, holy, holy…
When I came to the 2nd stanza
“Holy, holy, holy
Though the darkness hide Thee
Though the eye of sinful man thy glory may not see”
Brother Amos broke down & wept at the glory of God!
I was so moved & my heart was full….
Too glorious to describe…
Below is Brother Amos on my left

Brother Amos went for his reward in year 2017. Laid to rest in Australia

THE YEAR OF PRAYER (CIRCA 1993)

The Year of Prayer 1993 was a Very Blessed Year

King James Bible (Leviticus 6:13)
The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall never go out

1993 was a year spent in prayer every morning for that whole year.

And it was a very blessed year indeed!

As Matthew Henry said, “A life spent in communion with God, is the pleasantest life in the world”

In the morning I would rise early and spent an hour in prayer

First of all I would pray for my immediate family – my wife and my 3 sons. Then I would pray for my immediate relatives by names. And then relatives from my wife’s side by names

These are the circles

  1. My immediate family
  2.  My immediate relatives
  3.  Relatives on my wife’s side
  4.  The Government of Malaysia for that year
  5.  The Church I attended that year & all its leaders & members
  6.  Friends & Converts from Near and Far
  7.  Servants of God and their ministries near and far

1993 was also the year which Malaysia’s stock market went into the most powerful bull run in its history. But i was not in the Stock market.

Because I did not participate in its frenzied rise into the stratosphere God also protected me from its subsequent collapse which caused many bankruptcies

Now in one hour I have covered all my relatives & friends in prayer.

As prayer time enters into the months I felt drawn more and more to pray. But having run out of immediate prayer items at hand I turned to the Daily Newspapers & look up world events that I should pray for

And pray I did for another 30 minutes to one hour as the Spirit led

How blessed the time went by and soon 1993 was over.

Last year was another year spent in prayer. Very blessed.

So this year 2020 again may Almighty God give us The Spirit of Prayer

It has been very blessed so far

Amen & Amen

And time to reflect and Give Thanks to God Almighty for His Many Many Blessings

As C.T Studd said

ONLY ONE LIFE

TWILL SOON BE PAST

ONLY WHAT’S DONE FOR CHRIST

WILL LAST

This Year of 2019 has been an exceptional year indeed!

It will end in what the Bible Describes as

 

King James Bible
Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness.

See other translations

New Living Translation

You crown the year with a bountiful harvest; even the hard pathways overflow with abundance.

Berean Study Bible

You crown the year with Your bounty, and Your paths overflow with plenty.

New King James Version

You crown the year with Your goodness, And Your paths drip with abundance.

 

GOD’S WORD® Translation

You crown the year with your goodness, and richness overflows wherever you are.

International Standard Version
You crown the year with your goodness; your footsteps drop prosperity behind them.

Note: Calvin only endorse KJV as the Only Bible for Accuracy & honour to God Almighty!

All translated from the self same verse of

Psalm 65:11 from the Hebrew Old Testament

 

Why is it so special?

 

Answer:

It begins from Psalm 65: Verses 1 to 2

 

 Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Sion: and unto thee shall the vow be performed.

O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.

 

Yes! That is the secret. A year spent in prayer God will crown with His Blessings

 

Since year 1973 I have attended Watch Night Services on December 31st on my knees before Almighty God to seek His Divine Blessings in the Coming New Year

In those years I am unable to attend a Church I will still spend time wherever I happen to be still bowing and when I opened my eyes it will be the dawn of a New Year with God

And every morning when I get up I will pray 1st thing in the morning. Pray thru the day from my heart in silent or audible. And before retiring to bed I will pray again

What a Blessed year 2019 has been!

 

And these are the Blessings I want to give thanks to God Almighty

1) Thank God for all His Divine Protection for safety in traveling, for healing when I was sick & from other unseen dangers of life

 

2) Thank God for this year I made accurate buy calls for OGSE Bull run stocks

A rewarding time  from January to May. And in May I sold and went away for a Cruise holiday with my wife. 

 

3) Something very strange happened in April/May when KLSE was peaking

Calvin saw 2 visions

i) While resting I saw the word

“SINK, SINK, SINK” appeared before me like words moving from right to left as on a TV screen

The word “SINK” appeared out of thin air from the right and moved to the left

It appeared 2nd time “SINK” and moved from the right to the left

Again it appeared “SINK” for the 3rd time. But this time It projected itself forward as from a screen

Cinema con sedili vuoti e proiettore/Immagine ad alto contrasto

 

I was stunned!!

Then I saw another vision

In 3 Parts

Scene1

I was driving a car with clear blue sky and nice wide road in front

Very happily driving

 

Scene 2

Now I was still driving. But I cannot see the sky. I could only see the road only about 10 meters ahead. Quite hard to drive now as I must concentrate every move carefully

 

Scene 3

Ha! Very strange! I saw myself outside the car. Now I am holding a remote and guiding the car which I was once inside. Then I saw the car moving uphill & then toppled

By now I took this as a divine warning to “SELL IN MAY & GO AWAY”

So I started selling & posted 2 sell calls

2019 is the Year of Over Flowing Blessings Because THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY Answers Prayers

All thanks & praise to Almighty God

 

4) AFTER WAITING FOR 8 LONG YEARS WE MANAGED TO GET OUR KEYS TO 2 HOUSES BOUGHT IN YEAR 2011 & 2012 (Mine & My Eldest Son Enoch’s)

 

The Developers  went into long delay & we got stuck with them uncompleted without CFO.

Thank God finally we got our keys both houses. I am so relieved that they were not abandoned. Having bought them at very cheap prices we are still very ok. And not long after the Housing Developer gone bust. Truly thank God for His most timely deliverance

 

5) Thank God my 2nd son Dr. David Tan finally graduated after 6 years study. Thru this decade we witnessed how God miraculously provided his Uni tuition fees all these years. Every year we see a new miracle of Divine provision of all our needs.

6) So many things to thank God for His Many Many Blessings

7) Also this year my Prayer Webside http://www.inspiretopray.com has seen more postings

And may I close with this doxology

 

Praise God from Whom all blessings flow

Praise Him all creatures here below

Praise Him above ye heavenly hosts

Praise Father, Son & Holy Spirit

Amen & Amen

TODAY IS THE 46TH ANNIVERSARY OF MY CALL TO SERVE THE LORD (1973)

Swiftly 46 years have passed since December 13th 1973 when I gave up my life to serve THE LORD.

And I read again His Solemn Words from Isaiah 43:10 -12

10 Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.

11 I, even I, am the Lord; and beside me there is no saviour.

12 I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, that I am God.

Dr. Bob Jones used to say, “When God gives a command He always back it up with a promise”

So I read again from Isaiah Chapter 43

Isaiah 43 King James Version (KJV)

43 But now thus saith the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.

When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.

For I am the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.

Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life.

5 Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west;

I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth;

Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.

Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears.

Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled: who among them can declare this, and shew us former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified: or let them hear, and say, It is truth.

10 Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.

11 I, even I, am the Lord; and beside me there is no saviour.

12 I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, that I am God.

13 Yea, before the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it?

14 Thus saith the Lord, your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and have brought down all their nobles, and the Chaldeans, whose cry is in the ships.

15 I am the Lord, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King.

16 Thus saith the Lord, which maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters;

17 Which bringeth forth the chariot and horse, the army and the power; they shall lie down together, they shall not rise: they are extinct, they are quenched as tow.

18 Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.

19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.

20 The beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen.

21 This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise.

22 But thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob; but thou hast been weary of me, O Israel.

23 Thou hast not brought me the small cattle of thy burnt offerings; neither hast thou honoured me with thy sacrifices. I have not caused thee to serve with an offering, nor wearied thee with incense.

24 Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money, neither hast thou filled me with the fat of thy sacrifices: but thou hast made me to serve with thy sins, thou hast wearied me with thine iniquities.

25 I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.

26 Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified.

27 Thy first father hath sinned, and thy teachers have transgressed against me.

28 Therefore I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary, and have given Jacob to the curse, and Israel to reproaches.

This precious chapter has many many wonderful promises. As we will relate later all 46 years of God’s Great Goodness

And so I remember that day of days on December 13th 1973 on Penang Hill Camp
