Journey of Faith (5) – My 4 Observations – 210911
‘Long life to you! Good health to you and your household! And good health to all that is yours! (I Samuel 25:6b)
While resting in sickness, many times do I reflect, seek the Lord’s will and examine conditions around me. In one of the prayer sessions with my wife, the Lord opened our heart to see that this is more than a dreadful sickness – this is in fact a fierce spiritual warfare we have to fight. Seeing the point, our steps become firmer than ever – and willingly we submit to hide under His wings and partake as a small soldier in His army. I see the need of sharing my 4 observations with you all and ask you to rally with me and be watchful through prayers -
1. Pray for a gospel breakthrough in my family In the past few years, many of my family members turn to accept the Lord,crushing the 30 year old bondage of idolatry. My grandfather, over 100 years old, my father 83, wife and children of my younger brother… upon labor of the church, were baptized into the name of Christ. The power of gospel conquers all darkness. Deep down I know Satan will not rest and will continue to disturb us. I earnestly ask you to pray for me and my family!
2. Pray for my church Brother YAU, a young preacher who serves in my church was received into the Lord July this year, abruptly out of a sudden brain attack. Loss as it seemed but his departure awakened many. In August, I was diagnosed of this disease, causing worries to fellow saints. While we see the good will of God in all this, we also know Satan is watching for a chance to attack. I call on churches on all lands to unlock the chain with the key to heaven – pray for proper edification and peace of the church!
3. Pray for Ark Channel ministry Ark Channel, as a prayer net and fellowship network has been in service for 8.5 years now. Jesus Is Lord and overcomes all strange attack from behind. One member becoming ill will not put the mission to an end. This is well testified by the many letters we receive. Let’s all pray that the Lord bestows mercy on me and the Lord Himself will take full charge of this ministry.
4, Pray for the HK Bible Conference and my service there In the past 15 years, I am blessed with the opportunity to take part in the planning and administration of the conference. For 83 years, this spiritual movement works into hearts of many Chinese around the globe (150,000 +attended, 3,600 saints commit to serve full time or part time) In the past year, 3 servants are diagnosed of cancer – Pastor YP CHAN/陳耀鵬, our speaker, (now recovering from surgery), a saint who takes on the mission of translating for 9 days on podium and now myself right after the 2011 conference! Is this all co-incident? I urge you all to pray with me and the way of God and His Word! Let’s all stand to fight the malice of Satan together!
Let’s put these 4 aspects of the requests to first seek His kingdom and His righteousness. As for me and my house, we entrust it completely into the hands of God and the power of your holy prayer, vigilant and tireless in praying for His kingdom. (Eph 6)
You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it. (John 14:14)
- Your fellow brother, Sam KONG
