Pastor Yang - 3rd & Final Night Meeting

Tonight Pastor Cheng leads the worship...


Tonight it was all about seeking our God DESPERATELY...


These lyrics written by Pastor Cheng long ago echoed the mood of tonight's worship...


There was such an outpouring of deep hunger seeking the LORD in tears & repentance...


Tonight Pastor Yang preached a sermon on the HUNGER for God with the wonderful promise that God will satisfy those who hunger & thirst for Him!

He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich He has sent empty away. (Luke 1:53)


And we sure see a lot of HUNGRY people tonight.

We want to thank the Lord for Pastor Yang for his time & message. We pray the Lord will open up new doors and new opportunities for him to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ boldly throughout the world.

Revival is coming, folks. Get ready.

"Behold, I send My messenger,
And he will prepare the way before Me.
And the Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come to His temple,
Even the Messenger of the covenant,
In whom you delight.
Behold, He is coming," says the LORD of hosts.
(Malachi 3:1)

Pastor Yang - 2nd Night Meeting

Tonight, the young adults lead the worship.


Anson is simply awesome! He is an epitome of what every girl should aim for in a boyfriend - handsome, talented, rock solid, dependable, loving Jesus (the last been the most important quality, of course.)


The second part of the worship was led by an equally awesome Narmit.


Here is Narmit's dad - a picture of complete serenity - totally resting on the finished work of our Lord Jesus Christ.


The last song nearly brought down the house. Instead of singing about "how much we can do for the Lord", every child of God should sing ONLY about "how GREAT & AWESOME & MIGHTY..." is our God! It's ALL ABOUT HIM!!!

O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt His name together. (Psa 34:3)


Tonight, Pastor Yang preached on the GLORY of God:

- the Glory of God is what all believers should passionately seek after
- there is a price to pay - denying self, rejecting the worldly ways
- there is a price to pay - depend totally absolutely on God's way
- God is looking for the vessel that can carry His Glory
- the Glory of God will bless exceedingly abundantly not just the vessels but also their surroundings
- the Glory of God is coming...

Arise, shine; for your light has come, And the glory of the LORD has risen upon you. "For behold, darkness will cover the earth And deep darkness the peoples; But the LORD will rise upon you And His glory will appear upon you. (Isaiah 60:1-2)

And indeed we are living in the day and age of deep darkness covering the earth, gripping the hearts of men in fear & trembling... Church, it is time to SHINE forth as a beacon of hope to our lost world!


It is always good to see Pastor Ron with us, a great man of God powerfully used by God for the Kingdom of God. He IS a vessel for the glory of God for sure! Hallelujah!


Pastor Daphne, the beloved wife of Pastor Yang, praying & ministering to the congregation.


Our beloved Pastor Kueh together with brother Bong here giving a "helping hand". Both are great men of God deeply loved by the Church. And both FILLED with the glory of God!


It has been an awesome night with double the anointing and KABOD. And like Pastor Kueh mentioned, it will increase even more tomorrow night! Glory to God!

Pastor Yang - 1st Night Meeting

Last night was the first night meeting with Pastor Yang from Cornerstone Community Church, Singapore. And before the preaching of the Word we had a glorious time worshipping our Lord Jesus Christ with Alma leading the worship.


Praise the Lord for His great anointing in EBC on the worship ministry. We don't just have a Spirit-filled pastor who loves Jesus and excels in his worship & singing gifts, but the Lord has also blessed us abundantly with many similarly talented ones - so many until the ratio is getting pretty "miraculous"! All glory and hounour to our Almighty God!


Has anyone noticed that sister Deborah is getting younger? Last night she was again worshipping the Lord with all her might most gloriously!


I spotted a few new faces in the congregation - all too were lifting up holy hands in prayer & singing unto our great God of Israel.


Sometimes I do wonder - is there a special connection between King David been acknowledged by God as "a man after God's own heart", and his lifestyle of worshipping the LORD that paralleled no other biblical character? Hmmm?


"O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker." (Psa 95:6)

For the LORD is great and greatly to be praised! Amen?


Praise the Lord for Alma & her team. Hallelujah!


Urr...let's come back to Pastor Yang - the reason why we had the night meeting in the first place.


Pastor Yang is all ON FIRE for Jesus Christ. He is also a fiery preacher who can't keep still for a single second and who talks FAST! You could sense every fiber of his being is all on FIRE for the Kingdom of God, and for the glory of Jesus.

And the topic last night? What else but Baptism of FIRE!


The calling last night was on: 1) To be ON FIRE for Jesus so that you could become an effective & useful vessel for the Gospel impacting lives & community, 2) To be ON FIRE so that the dross & spiritual fleas of your lives that have been imparing your spiritual walk & holiness could be burned off.

Well, almost the whole congregation came forth. Glory be to God.


Many were touched.

And I pray many will increase in their pursuit of the knowledge of God & Jesus, to be transformed by the regeneration of the Holy Spirit, to abound in the fruits of the Spirit & righteousness, and to be an effective ambassador of the Gospel of Jesus Christ in this lost & perverse world, fearing God & loving the brethren.

Amen.


Lastly, right before the end, Pastor Yang gave a word of prophecy over EBC about the POWER of our Lord Jesus Christ manifesting in the church in the coming days...

Hallelujah!

"And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God." (1 Co 2:4-5)

For our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full conviction... (1 Th 1:5)

AOIC Workshop - Christian Counseling

Dr. Evelyn Biles and her team are in Kuching for a 3 days' counseling seminar.


Part of the program in action. The participants will learn counseling skills to become effective counselors.


While everyone is attentive in the class...I caught these 2 chit-chatting behind... JUST KIDDING! Actually I never expected counseling classes can be "fun"!


I would have thought since counseling usually involves somber & serious subjects, the class atmosphere should at the least reflect that sort of "seriousness"... but looking at these bunch, obviously I was wrong. On second thought, facing cheerful-hi-spirited counselors sure beat facing prune-faced-dead-serious ones. Don't you agree?


This is NOT what you think they are doing!

On a more "serious" note, praise the Lord for the overwhelming response. I pray God will raise up more counselors who will operate in the wisdom & spirit of God to help & edify His Church in an effective & biblical way - not just in Kuching but all over the world through the ministry of Dr. Evelyn Biles.


Praise the Lord for Dr. Bile's team, and for the EBC team who helped in taking care of them while they are here in Kuching.

And lastly, I pray they will bring back lots of good memories & pictures too!
