God Reigns and the Planting in 52 Years Will Actualize
On the eve of the Feast of Tabernacles, joined by my disciples, I attended the pastors retreat of our mother church in Taipei, celebrating her 70th anniversary. In those two days, I gained profound insights. Having witnessed how God has been leading our mother church step by step into the destiny of global evangelism and church planting, I am even more convinced that 611’s vision of “Planting Trees of Life Everywhere in 52 Years” will surely come to pass!
During the Morning Devotion on July 18, 2018, we read Nehemiah 6 when it states the rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem was completed in 52 days. The Holy Spirit immediately revealed to me the vision of “Planting Trees of Life Everywhere in 52 Years,” which is the blueprint for the revival of Asia and the entire world. On July 24, while we were on the cruise, we read Nehemiah 9 in morning devotion, “Now on the twenty-fourth day of this month the children of Israel were assembled with fasting, in sackcloth, and with dust on their heads.” (Nehemiah 9:1) C-Mo and I led our branches and MG leaders into repentance, believing that revival would begin from this moment. That day, our ship encountered a typhoon, but the path of the typhoon resembled a “great sickle.” It not only avoided our cruise route but also confirmed that our great harvest season had begun.
In faith, we began to respond to the vision of planting. Over the past six years, we have set up several branches in Australia, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. I gained God’s confirmation in this trip to our mother church. God led me to count and realize that when the planting would be completed in 2070, we would be celebrating the 70th anniversary of 611. Through our mother church, God showed me that He will actualize His blueprint of planting.
Since the establishment of its first branch in 1989, our mother church has planted 707 branches in 57 countries in just 35 years, apart from the Creative Access Countries. God showed me through this that the 52-year planting is not a dream. I am grateful to C-Mo for bringing me to the Taipei Bread of Life Church family 46 years ago. I believe this was out of God’s leading. Both the Taipei Bread of Life Church and I were born in October 1954, turning to 70 this year. That also reminds me to carry on Pastor Timothy Chao Shi-kuang’s vision of global evangelism, and that 611 will have her share in the great global revival.
This year, God has opened up our connections with South Africa, Central America and Europe. Back to Pastor Deborah’s prophecy on our church anniversary this year, which revealed that God’s pace will accelerate to fulfill His plans within ten years, I cannot help but marvel at God’s mighty works and swift hand. In these last days, the gospel is being spread more rapidly; God’s desire is for all nations to turn to Him. May we all work together with God and personally witness His amazing works!
Brothers and sisters, God surely reigns! Let us follow Him together and have our parts in the expansion of planting the Trees of Life, looking forward to witnessing the fulfillment of God’s will together!■【2024.11.03】
