FBC Focus 2015 - Witnessing by Song Ting Kee dated 8.3.15

Bible passage 1 King 18:16-40 the story about Elijah challenging to see whose God was real by praying for the sacrificed bulls to be burnt.  Bro. Song said he chose this passage because we are talking about witnessing.  Was Elijah witnessing?  Indeed he was.  He was witnessing to the non believer about the true God.  His name means "Lord is my God". He called upon God to bring fire to the sacrificed bulls and God sent fire to burn them up. As opposed to the Baal, their gods did not respond at all.  Elijah was witnessing his whole life.  His very name bear witness.

Acts 1:5-8

Jesus told His disciples that they will be witnesses to the ends of the earth. His disciples were asked to be His witnesses.

Acts 2:32

God raised Jesus from the dead and His disciples were witnesses.

Story of a student

Bro. Song met a student recently and asked her what she has learned after 4 and half years.  She said she became a Christian after her friend witnessed to her.  Her life has changed, now she is more patient and she has many friends in church. Bro. Song had shared with her earlier but she became a Christian via some one else.

Billy Graham

 

Bro. Song shared that he and his wife had their honey moon in 1978 attending Billy Graham crusade in Singapore where they experienced great anointing and witnessing by Billy Graham. He has spoken to 215 million people in 185 countries. During this Crusade they met a form four student from Kuching who is now a senior pastor in a local church. We can see the power of witnessing here.

Johnny Ang

Johnny is also known as Hallelujah Ang. He is also known as "Anytime pastor" because of his willingness to share the Gospel with any one any time.  Bro. Song got to know him in a meeting and has since got him to share his testimony with the students. He was a former businessman who failed in business and contemplated killing his family and himself. He has 9 children.

An Associate Professor

According to this Associate professor, you need to be a significant person to some body who is not your family members.  You must spend a long time with this person to share and influence him.  To make a difference in his life.  We need to do this intentionally.  Not "touch and go" like how Bro. Song explained this.

If we desire to be with God, He is more than willing to give us, heal us, and restore us.  As another example of how he and his wife influenced a neighbor's children, he said at one time they brought their neighbor's children to church for 9 years.  After they were grown they became Christians.  Praise God!

If we have been loved by God, helped by God, naturally for us to talk about Jesus to others.
