Some thoughts to share :)

Hi, most of us just reached home from Kuala Lumpur International Hotel not long ago. And I have some words to share here before i sleep.

It is really great to see all the participants are here to learn from Pastor David. Most of them are Pastors and Senior Pastors. Some of them have few churches under their care. Sitting together with them in the session, I felt such an openness in their heart just to learn from our beloved senior pastor, Rev. David Wong. And that make me think, truly, we are very privileged to be in World Harvest Church. We learn and receive teachings without need to pay a single cent. We are equipped and trained free of charge.

As for the participants, they need to raise fund for their air tickets, go through all the procedure to apply visa, and other requirement, put in effort to travel here and there to get their documents done - just to fly to Malaysia and to join the Apostolic Program! And there are 18 of alumni during this Intake.

Alumni....hmm... What makes them come back again and again? And not that it is SO EASY to come here. Not that is FREE to come here. So why they determine to come? I have only one answer. Truly all the materials that is going to be taught is going to breathe something new into their life and ministry. I would like to say, the teaching and impartation they are going to receive is like GOLD to them!

Dear members of World Harvest Church, let us count our blessings together. Of all the free teaching and free impartation that you have received from Pastors of the church and your leaders, do treasure them. For there are actually treasures that drop down from heaven.

Not only teaching and impartation, we also receive support from one another by prayers and care.

Therefore, treasure, recall and revise all the teachings that you have received during your cell groups, Praise Celebration, Discipleship Program, Pastoral Program and Vision Seminar. I used to tell myself "Jade, listen to every word that is being taught, not just 'masuk telinga kiri, keluar telinga kanan'." Because long ago, I found out that I got so familiar with Pastors and leaders, the way they talk, the way they preach, and I thought "Nah..nothing new... Great Commission? Oh, I have heard that pretty often. Great Commandment? Oh, i can memorize the verse already". And without knowing, subtlely, i took their teaching lightly. Most of us, if we are not careful, will fall into this kind of attitude.

So, believers of Christ, the Word of God is life and is the real nutrition to us. All the preaching and teaching and seminars are based on the Word of God. If we hear and keep it in our hearts AND THEN practice it, we will know, it is powerful.

Open your heart to learn everytime when the Words are being taught in church, as it is precious spiritual food from heaven, and not just merely normal seminar or lectures. Give thoughts to them, and I know you will be blessed.

God bless you ;)
