I have spent 5 days FULL TIME with the saints coming from far east. I will write down what have incribed in my heart during these days.
To have these 5 days available, I have work really hard for 2 weeks in order to get my school work done before my school leave is approved. From the moment I received them from airport until the day I send them to airport… the Lord is writing His Acts chapter 29.
Many of them are first time oversea, some are even more than 70 years old. They have paid a high price to come, not only materially. They spent days in train and flights just to meet us. Some came with family, some came alone.
I companied these saints traveled west Malaysia. In the bus, I tried my best to take care of everyone’s need. Obviously, they do not come for touring but fellowship and building. They mean business with the Lord. Therefore, I realized my detailed introduction of Malaysia never draw their attention but our prophesying and sharing of Christ throughout the trip.
On the first day, I was reminded by the Lord that we are not here to be a tour guides, touring as others did. We are here to be His testimony, expression. Most importantly, these people know Christ resurrection and ascension. They know the Body and live in the Body. They are here for the Body.
On the third day, we went to Genting which is a place solely for entertainment, but I ended up in a restaurant for hours just to fellowship with the saints, in tears, in joy. After then, I felt the impact of the fellowship and saints began to speak less and prayed more. I witnessed their prayerful spirit throughout the trip. I dare not to close my eye in the bus, when I turned back and look at the saints, they were not closing their eye either, they were looking at me (for more sharing), and some praying… I asked myself, what is happening? O Lord, what is this? What to do?
Honestly I also hardly speak publicly in the bus, but kept praying. On the last day, I testified on my salvation and my turning point in the Lord. The saints also shared and their sharing is like Mary’s pouring out her love offering.. fragrance filled the room.
Last day, everyone left. I woke up and look at the empty room, a deep grieve within me. Lord, remember far east. That’s what I prayed while I walked home at 7am from meeting hall to sister house.
Now, 5 days after our departure. They called and prayed with me through phone. They may dwell in a very litle tiny corner in far east which I never thought of going in my whole life, but there is a testimony of the Lord, a group of Christ witnesses, His testimonies. They brought back the riches of Christ with great price. The riches which are inscribed into the deepest part of their being.
Conclusion, “Things which eye has not seen and ear has not heard and which have not come up in man’s heart; things which God has prepared for those who love Him” (1Cor2:9) is fulfilled on us.
