.:The Preaching:.
- Isaiah 1:19 -
"If You Are Willing And Obedient, You Shall Eat The Good Of The Land"
Willingness & Obedience:
1 King 13 - The Man Of Judah
In this part of the Bible, it tells of a man who was anointed to be a prophet but was disobedient to what God wanted him to do, thus at the end he was eaten by a lion
1 King 17 - Elijah Predicts A Drought
After the Man Of Judah, Elijah was anointed to be a prophet as well, but unlike the Man of Judah, Elijah was willing and obedience to what everything God wanted him to do~
in his life he did 7 major miracles:
-Prophecy of the drought-
-Miracle of meal and oil-
-Resurrection of the widow's son-
-Sacrifice consumed by fire-
-End of the drought-
-Captains & soldiers slain by fire -
-Parting of the Jordan River-
1 King 19:19-21 - Elisha was made Elijah's Disciple
but from there we don't read anymore about Elisha until 2nd kings.
Ps. Kelvin Loo related these to the Kung Fu movies he use to love watching~
where the student have to follow their master for a long period of time before being taught the martial arts~
and said the same goes for Elisha, through out all the things Elijah did, Elisha was mostly likely there as Elijah's servant.. for in last part of
1King 19: 21 "Then He Set Out And Followed Elijah, and became his servant (NRSV)"
the reason for this is because in order for one to be given the privilege to become a disciple you must first becaome strong in your character; if your character and intentions are wrong you would use the privilege given, wrongly. You dont serve to gain, you serve because it's a privilege.
God's Anointing Pass from One Person To Another;
After the death or rather ascension of Elijah,
Elisha was anointed 2 folds of what was given to Elijah~
and like Elijah, Elisha was willing and obedient in the things he did.
all together Elisha did 14 major miracles; all quite similar to what Elijah did.
After Elisha however, the anointing of God was to be passed down,
the chosen one then was Gehazi, Elisha's servant~
and in
2kings 5 - The Healing Of Naaman
shows one of the miracle done by Elisha, he healed Naaman of his leprosy.
Elisha asked Naaman to wash in the river of Jordan 7 times, he did as he was asked and was healed. After Naaman was healed he offered gives to Elisha, but Elisha said to him:
"As The Lord lives, whom I serve I will accept nothing"
however, in 2kings 5: 20 - 26 - Gehazi's Greed
that part of the bible showed how Gehazi's disobediance towards God and his personal greed. And that was the end of the anointing passed down from Elijah.

~The Privilege To Serve~
might not be 100% accurate~ =X
[I First Started serving God at the age of 17, I never wanted to be a pastor.
Ever since I was little I wanted to be a lawyer.
Because they earn big, have big houses and expensive cars; it was the only dream i had. But God wanted me to be a pastor, and a pastor I became.
When I first went to church, I Did everything. The first Job i was given was to copy the church bulletin, but back in those days we didnt have photocopying machine they used... (i dunno the name, here's a pic)
back then in order to photocopy anything we use this, I was the only person doing the job, its actually quite easy all I had to do was wind the lever, and each wind = one bulletin. It wasnt hard just very boring, the worst part was that my church back in Sabah was a 3000 people church! After photocopying i had to fold all the bulletins as well.
Not long later, I was promoted become the church van driver, I was literately the pastor's driver; I drove the pastor everywhere.
Then I was promoted again to mail delivery; back then most church members didnt use their own address but used the church's P.O. Box. So I had to pick up all the mail, bring them to church & sort them out alphabetically.
After awhile, I was promoted again; The pastor ask me to lead Praise and I did.Then I was promoted again, to be Soundman then to camera man, sometimes I was appointed to work in the bookstore and helpout in the youth ministries, so i really did everything in my church and that is where I learnt how to be a servant of God and it was a privilege to serve him.
In 2001, was the start of City Harvest Church Singapore. When I went there I was asked to serve under Pastor Kong Hee, serving in a church is actually very easy, you only need to do 2 things:
-Listen to God
-Listen to your Pastor
You pray and listen to God,
& if you're confused or don't understand at all, go ask your pastor ;
if he said "Ok", then do it, if he said "Dont do it", then dont do it.
It's simple~
I remember there was one time, where I wanted to leave the church to go elsewhere. Before i did, i went to seek council from Pastor. Kong Hee, I told him I wanted to leave. But He said;
Maybe you shouldnt leave, you were brought up here, you're rooted here.
By then i left the church all heartbroken and sad because before I went to seek his council was already prepared to go. But then I thought it through; There's no point for me to leave. What's the point of doing what I want when God doesnt want me to or when my Pastor think it's not what I should do. If I went and did what I wanted to, I know I'd never be able to face my pastor as I disobeyed him. But for God I was willing to let go of my dream and obeyed what I was asked to do.]
