Praise the Lord that since we started to reinstate the celebration of Biblical festivals and staged the Esther Musical during Purim for the first time in 2004, in a blink of eyes, thirteen years have passed. This year, a brand new Esther Musical “Return in Victory” in English will be debuted. It is truly God’s grace.
Esther Musicals of the past thirteen years were of great variety, performing languages changed from Cantonese to Mandarin, main actors included adult, youth and even children. Every time, they uniquely created the dance and acting with new highlights, those were precious memories and experiences of ours.
This year, the musical will be performed in English. There are few English-speaking communities in our church, including “ANEW – All Nations English Worship” service every Saturday night, welcoming over thousand brothers and sisters from the Philippines, Indonesia, America, Canada and Europe etc. This time, those people of great talent will be gathered together so that we may have a foretaste of “all nations will stream to the mountain of the Lord’s temple” as peoples, nations and tribes all worship the One True God together.
Praise the Lord! As we follow the revelation and leading of Father God to restore the celebration of Biblical festivals, we have been walking in His seasons throughout these years and returning to the blessed way. Ever since 2018, promises of “Return” have been coming to pass one by one: Church venues such as the three storeys of Young Ya Building will soon return for use; the sermon series of “Life Character” and “New Wineskin Marriage” demonstrate stronger presence of God. In every preaching, God grants us unique and brand-new messages. Praise the Lord for entrusting to us the mysteries of glorious marriage and glorious church.
Once again, I must give thanks to Father God for granting us the new book “The Intimate Opponent”. The “New Wineskin Marriage” message of the book and the sermon series stemming from it are in fact outlooks on marriage, man and woman based on the Biblical Truth to which the Holy Spirit is guiding us.
Last Sunday Service, I put on additional explanations on “Four Mountains for the Wife”, expounding on how to enter into the mode of a blessed marriage and avoid falling into the mode of a cursed marriage. Excited and grateful, I see that returning to the truth of God is the way out for a marriage. This is the message entrusted to us by God to spread around, to which we must respond with all our might, even translate it into English and Japanese so that more people can
receive the truth of marriage blessings and the fallacy of marriage of this age can be reversed.
Dear brothers and sisters, I long to see each one of you enter into the rhythm and seasons of Father God so that you can soar on high freely in the Wind of the Holy Spirit, receive blessings from Father God, grow strongly as the Trees of Life, be the outlets of the Gospel, living out the abundant destiny God bestows on us. • [2018.03.04]
