On the way back to Malaysia
LONDON, UK
I stay in Bro Samuel's house in London. His house is quite far from centre London, nearer to Bower house, so, to save time and cost, I visited city of London right away coming down from the bus from Cambrige. I walk around with my luggage, so, I'm a bit lazy, not really go to many spots of interest.In the evening, I took a train to Bro Samuel's house. This is the first time we met. I didnt realise that he is African before this(we do contact each other through email). Haha, I'm always so blur. In Bro Samuel's house, I met with another two asian, Sion and Eker(they are sybling. If I'm not mistaken, they are from Hong Kong), so we have "international blending". :). On Friday night, we attended a group meeting. We sing most of the time and have some sharing. Its so enjoyable. In that group meeting, when I fellowship with the saints, i realised that they all came from different countries, Hungary, Romania, Africa, Malaysia, Taiwan and etc. Wah, thank the Lord for Col 3:10-11, that we can all blended into one body for the one new man! On Saturday, there was a video conference in Bower House. Wah! After so many years since they fellowship with all the churches for this property, finally, I can step my feet on it. Haha, I know I sounds very childish, but I really cant withhold my excitement. After the conference, we were separated into different service group. They send me to RHEMA! We pack books while the sisters teach me English children song. A sister fellowship with me that she came back from the conference in Africa(she stay there for 2 another weeks to visit the churches in Africa after the conference) and is going to South America after this. We fellowship about the situation in Africa and the burden for South America. My heart is warm! Lord's Day morning, we depart to Bristol for they are going to have their 1st Lord's table meeting at 2pm. I enjoy the fellowship in Bristol very much, particularly, two brother's fellowship.
Bro. A,"I remember when Bro Lee was still with us, one day, in a fellowship meeting, Bro Lee asked, "Any of you willing to migrate?". Some saints raised up their hand. Then, Bro Lee looked at those who didnt raised up their hand and said,"You will go to the outer darkness for one thousand years...". Why he said so? Actually, our life is just a journey. We are pilgrim. None of us should think that we will live somewhere permanently. We should all go to the Lord. We are here for the spread! we stay in a place because the Lord wants us to stay. One day, we will "migrate" into the millennium kingdom. If we are not willing to migrate today, this means there is something which entangle our heart, there is something which we can not let go, there is something holds us back.... What matter is not whether you migrate or not, but it is a matter of "willing". Are you willing? one day, when the time come, the Lord sounds out the call, will you be willing to migrate?Are you ready?..."
Bro. B,"My wife is a Jew. When the brothers fellowship about the burden for Israel in 1990s, my wife was touched, she prayed and fellowship with me about what the Lord had touched her. But, at that time, I was not willing to move. I was not willing to migrate to Israel. She couldnt do anything to convinced me. She prayed very much, shed a lots of tears, and she put her consecration on the altar for about ten years. In 2000s, in one of the fellowship, Bro Benson mentioned about the burden for Israel. This time, I was touched. I prayed and I started to consider to migrate. When I share this with my wife, this time, she is not willing to go. She is not willing to change the life we had now in UK. We went through a lots of fellowship, prayer, pray with another family...thank the Lord, we are waiting for the visa now...." What touched me the most from Bro A's sharing is the word "willing". it is a matter of our heart, not our act. wheter we move or not, something it doesnt really matter, the Lord is great, He is big, He can do a lots of things surpassing our knowledge. But what about our heart? Is my heart secretly keeping something which will hold me back when i'm "migrating" into the millennium kingdom? Is there something which will hold me back when i'm raptured? Is there something? Why are you not willing to migrate? Why? and in Bro B's fellowship, I touched the part where the wife put her consecration on the altar for 10 years, praying with tears....I, personally, have burden for three items,1. Lord's move 2. DCP 3. Levitical service, be it kitchen service, printing service and etc. I'm not a capable one, and many times I find myself not fit for any of the above due to my dispossition and constitution, I'm just not the right person! then, why gave me such a burden!!??I go discourage, I murmur, I feel the Lord is not fare and etc. Many times i wanted to give up, just forget about it, but the Lord would not let me go! He come again and again, speak again and again, and constraint me again and again. I cant help, and was defeated again and again. Now(after almost two years from the above date), all this become very sweet to me. I found the balancing point where I keep my burden for those items yet not participating directly in any of them. And I start to experience the reality of what we say we are in ONE BODY. We pray, we give, it is ok not to go personally, but if the time comes, the Lord say ok with me, I hope at that time, I am still willing. Therefore, I really give myself to the Lord, "Lord, burden me with Your Body. Grant me the experience I need for the building up of Your Body." May we all stretching forward to the things which are before...and RUN with joy without any entanglement. Love His appearing daily! When we returned to London from Bristol, I had only about half an hour to get myself ready, Bro Samuel sent me to the airport. My flight is a midnight flight. So, although it is said 1 June, but actually it is Lord's Day night, 1am! Wah, the Lord is so marvelous, He arranged everything for me in such a way, I really gained the best of all. Thank you Lord Jesus!
This the what i take with me for the whole trip.
Sisters in PJ Sister House 3.
KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA
When I arrived in LCCT, Malaysia, it was in the evening of 1 June, Monday. I was very very tire. When I was waiting at the airport in London, I asked the Lord to give me no "neigbour" (as in March, the one sat beside me was drunk), miraculously, the seats surrounding me was all full. No joke, really very full. but my row had only one passenger, that's me! haha, so, I just lye down(dont care already, I'm really like a wonderer after two months++ trip).On Tuesday morning, I got a job, and therefore, my life turn over a new leaf. I work as a research assistance, and at the same time, do my master. The life is very tight. My schedule is always full. if this item ends at 5:30pm,the next item will be at 5:45pm or at most 6pm. So, i always have only 10 to 30min gap in between, almost can not breathe. Sorry, that's why I took almost two years to complete this post. Thank you for all your forbearance in these two years. Last year, just before I went to RBSA, I got a scholarship, so no need to work, but I took more tuition and start to go to Portuguese class...and I decided to get my research done in 6 months, so, my schedule become more terrible if compared to the year before. Now, everything is coming to an end. In the past two years, all things try me out: whether I am loving the Lord with a pure heart?Can I spent myself in keeping up with all the pursue?Will I trust in the Lord or myself?I do and be this and that because of regulation, knowledge or out of my constitution?How much do I know Him in life(experience) and truth(light)?and etc. I love Him for all these. There is a stanza in chinese hymnal said “一生一世，我要述說；祂的愛情超人能度...”. I hope through this blog, we can all be brought into the same fellowship. If you are attracted by the photos and plan to migrate, thank the Lord. If you are touched by the saints' testimony and migrate, praise the Lord. If the Lord speaks to you personally and you answer His call, we will pray for you. May we all be in the same fellowship for the furtherance of the gospel. Initially, I do plan to share more about what I touched from the messages I was listening during the trip, for e.g.,on the way from Bratislava to Vienna, I was listening to Bro Ron, He was sharing about when we have a burden for something and we fellowship with the brothers, and all the brothers say no....but I really short of time, sorry. :). Hope you all will also enjoy the same word somewhere one day. As a conclusion, I want to thank all the saints who pray and supported me for this trip. I would never be able to tell how much help and benefit I had gain through this trip. Thank you very very much! Thanks.
