A: My involvement was through the
encouragement of Dr Abraham Tong whom God had used so powerfully in
getting many people saved, healed and renewed. I was one of those, later
baptised in the Holy Spirit and changed my spiritual being. Seeing the
fruit of the FGBMF ministry, I decided to offer my services in music and
lead -worship to the Lord, beginning at the 'clinic meetings', to the old
MCA building and later at the AIA Building.
Q: Can you compare the spiritual
climate then and now?
A: Those days we did not have the
electronic instruments. We were contented with an accordion and the guitar
played by Michael Cheng. Later a piano was used and as the number grew,
more musicians came forward to help. Though it was only basic music, the
Lord moved mightily and prophetically in the area of healing and
deliverance. The lyrics were focussed only on the Lord Jesus Christ as our
Saviour, Lord, Life-giver, Healer and Restorer. I believe this is the key
to anointed worship which Jesus wants to inhabit.
Q: Would you say you have attained
utmost satisfaction when filled with the Holy Spirit?
A: Holy Spirit baptism liberated me from
my timidity and shyness. It gave me a newer understanding of God's Word
and boldness to pray even in group. I was able to lead worship at big
meetings which in the past I never even dreamt anything like that. It was
the Spirit of the Lord that enabled me. Truly, filled with the Holy Spirit
led me to serve the Lord with greater zeal and joy.
Q: You certainly have fond memories of
FGBMF Malaysia. Would you kindly share them with us?
A: I remembered looking forward to the
chapter meetings for personal revival. Also the zeal, commitment and
humility of the FGBMF leadership taught me many things. They had
sacrificed much and were truly an example for me to learn from them.
Through the FGBMF ministry, many Christians were re-fired and today many
are serving the Lord in various capacities.
Q: What are your views on FGBMF's
progress over the recent years?
A: The new generation of leaders have the
potential to reach out to many more. Businesses have increased manifold
and there are still quite a number of people in the marketplace who have
yet to know the Lord. The opportunities are many and I pray the current
leadership will continue to press on. The turnout at the annual
conventions have been good and encouraging.
Q: Lastly, what would be your passing
words to the current FGBMF members?
Now that I am older and have learnt many
things, I wish to pass on to the new generation of FGBMF members to
remember the early Christians … they were continually devoting
themselves to the apostles' teaching, and to fellowship, to the breaking
of bread and to prayer (Acts 2:42). |
