Life by Song Ting Kee dated 11.1.15

The following passages were read before Bro. Song gave his message, John 10:10, Matthew 11:28-30, Roman 1:16, Roman 1:11-12.

Why are we gathered in church each Sunday?  

  

Bro. Song shared it is to be mutually encouraged.  Our faith in God will be enhanced when we meet members with similar faith.  We encourage each other.

        God

        God and me

        Me and God

        Me

We usually talked a lot about “me” because we were taught from young at home, in school and other places.  We need to move from “me” to “God”.

What is the difference between “God and me”, and “Me and God”?

Hysterical School

Many years ago in Kuching, students in a school was hit by hysterical spirits for three months.  Everyday students went into hysteria and ambulance had to be called to send students to the hospital.  Students heard voices and some jumped from the third floor.  The principal also encountered spirits and he applied and granted a transfer out of the school.  Teachers of other faiths called their priests or elders to pray to drive out the spirits but to no avail.  A group of nominal Christians decided to call their pastors to go to the school to pray and to drive out the spirits.  After the pastors prayed thunderstorm came.  In the afternoon the teachers continued to hear ambulance approaching, but this time around it was not arriving at their school but at a nearby school.  Apparently the spirits had gone to that school.  One of the woman teachers from this school was so touched that she resigned as a teacher to go full time, forgoing even her pension.  She knew God will provide for her.

Japanese Pastor

Sometime ago Bro. Song met a Japanese Pastor.  Instead of greeting him the usual way, he greeted him with “Jesus is boss”.  Bro. Song could see God in him.  He was the second man of a gang and his wife had been praying for him to turn to God.  Eventually he did.  Now he served God.  He got himself a wooden Cross and walked the city of Tokyo proclaiming Jesus as our Saviour.

Student from a local university

Bro. Song has been fellow-shipping with students from a local university.  A young man said you need to believe before you can see God’s ways.  He is right.  The world says “seeing is believing”, but Jesus says “Believing is seeing”.  John 1:1-4.

Prison Ministry

Bro. Song and others from our church have been serving in this ministry for more than 20 years.  Nowadays, more local church pastors are involved in this ministry.  In the recent Christmas celebration Bro. Song’s team spent RM1,800 to celebrate Christmas with the prisoners.  As  ACS is also involved he requested to claim RM1,800 from them.  However, the Secretary General of ACS said actually he was prepared to give RM2,000.  Praise God for others who are willing to share the burdens.

A prisoner requested a pastor to invite his mother to prison to visit him.  On the way the mother got into an accident and could not come.  This pastor visited her and her other family members, eventually all this prisoner’s family members came to Christ.  Hallelujah!

The prisoners who do not know Christ said “me, me, me”.  But after accepting Christ, they became “God and me”.
