For Your Glory We Fight
Praise the Lord! This coming Friday and Saturday, the outdoor concert, “For Your Glory we fight” organized by the Youth Army will be held at the Hong Kong Cultural Center Piazza. It includes onstage
dancing and singing, youth artistic booths, prophetic prayer ministry etc., livens up Tsim Sha Tsui promenade. We are declaring to the whole earth the Glory of God – how wonderful is the God we believe in and how the youth in Christ are full of vigor!
How thankful I am seeing the “Youth Army” who is with this spiritual capacity to be largely used by God. In the early days of 611, at the time I was pastoring Adino and Debby, the Youth Church was without any
attendees. But now, they are ordained pastors, shouldering the Youth Church, discipling the large youth congregation and serving the Lord. Through the “Friday Night” held in the Mercy Seat, they win the youth over for the Lord and they themselves are excelling and growing from strength to strength, Hallelujah!
Now, they take one step forward, leaving the church building and heading toward Cultural Center, openly proclaiming the Father’s Heart in the center of Hong Kong and testifying for the Lord through their lives. Their wholehearted devotion calls for our deep gratitude to God and continuous prayer for the young generation. Moreover, we shall bless and support them with real action, buying their brand new original CD and even recommending it to the youth and their parents we know of.
In the past sixteen years, God’s mighty hand is evidently working wonders and miracles in our midst. Therefore, the 17th church anniversary is themed, “We see God here! We thank God here!” Last week, we started on a new sermon series, “Shekinah Ladder” preparing us for more profound sin confession and thanksgiving (sin confession and thanksgiving mean the same. Please see p.122-130 of the second edition of “Intimate Opponents” or sermon of “New Wineskin Marriage – Shekinah Ladder” on 18th February 2018). Let us climb this “Shekinah Ladder” and go into the 17th year with sin confession and thanksgiving, ushering greater Glorious presence of God so that we may know more of Father God, be more assured of His Works in us and know more clearly all is by His Grace!
Before setting up Hong Kong 611 Bread of Life Church, I knelt down in prayer before God while He told me, “Commissioning you to build church in Hong Kong is for you to see the works of God. As the Holy
Spirit is working in Hong Kong, so shall you.” All are the works of God! It has been almost 17 years our church treading on this brand new way, witnessing how powerful His revelations and promises which have brought signs and wonders to pass.
Dear brothers and sisters, you becoming God’s people, His beloved children as well as members of 611 are of no coincidence at all, but entirely by His Grace. “For you are a people holy to the Lord your God.
Out of all the peoples on the face of the earth, the Lord has chosen you to be his treasured possession.” (Deuteronomy 14:2) We must rise up to respond to the great love of God, to shepherd the sheep entrusted to us by the Lord and to fight for His glory. •[2018.04.15]
