2006 Asian Convention
‘God’s Tsunami In The Marketplace’

< Previous, > Next

Psalm 150 leapt out of the Bible as the multitude of more than 700 members and guests of the Full Gospel Business Men’s Fellowship praised God with the sounding of the trumpet, praised Him with the harp and lyre, praised Him with tambourine and dancing, praised Him with the strings and flute, praised Him with the clash of cymbals, praised Him with resounding cymbals.

‘Let everything that has breath praise the Lord’ was the opening night’s highlight to the Asian Convention held at The Palace of the Golden Horses, Mines Resorts, Kuala Lumpur, from 23-25 November 2006.

 

The praise and worship celebration led by Bro. Chee Wah Lee of the Church of the Tabernacle of David, Kuala Lumpur, was a testimony of the reverence and love of God’s faithful people on earth, numbering three hundred and sixty-five (365) delegates from twelve countries, namely from Australia, Canada, China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, the United Kingdom, the United States, Taiwan and Vietnam. They enthroned their awesome and mighty God to bless the proceedings of the 3-day annual event.

The Asian Convention’s theme was “God’s Tsunami in the Market Place.” Pastor Peter Tsukahira of the Carmel Assembly in Jerusalem, a noted marketplace minister, was the principal speaker with Pastor Chew Weng Chee, Senior Pastor of Sidang Injil Borneo church (Kuala Lumpur), speaking in tandem.

Quoting Haggai 2:6, Ps Peter Tsukahira, likened the imminent change that was coming to the world to that of the tsunami as a preparation of God’s people in the marketplace ministry. Like the tsunami that causes a devastating effect to everything in its path FGB members must recognize those changes as they come and ride those waves. The Christian business men are to impact the world with God’s Word and to transform society with the Gospel.

Jesus spent His time on earth preaching and teaching in the marketplace. His was a street ministry and called on the common business men to follow Him, to work for Him in the fields ‘for the harvest is plentiful but the workers are few’. At the end of the day God was going to reward them.

In Mathew 20:1-16 He hired workers at different periods and at the end of the day gave each of them a fair and equitable wage. He said, “Those who are last will be first, and those who are first will be last.” Every FGB member is called to work and must respond for ‘pay day’ will soon be upon them.
 

Views & Comments
Rod Winter (Vice-President Australia) & I wish to express our gratitude for the invitation to attend your Asian Convention 2006. We were touched by the warmth and sincerity of your reception and friendship. We feel very privileged to be part of what God is doing in FGBMF in Asia and have been tremendously blessed by both the fellowship with all our Asian brothers and the teaching of Ps. Peter Tsukahira. He has challenged us in many areas and we trust that God will show us how to put this into action as we take this teaching and anointing back to Australia.

We know that much prayer is still required. We look forward to more joining us in coming to next year’s Convention and to hearing more of how God is using FGBMF mightily to expand His kingdom throughout Asia.

I had this interpretation of the convention. I likened the venue the ‘Palace’ as the House of God, the place prepared for King Jesus’ presence. The ‘Golden Horses’ aptly describe the FGBMF as unique, set apart, special, and the apple of the master’s eye. Being market place people, the members were literally Work Horses!

As speakers, both, Ps Peter Tsukahira and Ps Chew were specially invited and anointed for the occasion. Both were former marketplace professional businessmen. At the opening banquet the kingship of Jesus Christ was evident and appropriately declared.

A word of thanks to the organisers for every thing went well in clockwork fashion as scheduled. Praise the Lord for no untoward incidents throughout the convention.
