Thailand Mission Trip

I was away at Chiang Rai,Thailand during the past six days. The Royal Rangers and Bethel Children Ministry conducted programs for the kids there. But for me,It was like a personal retreat with God. There were times I quietly or as cantonese put it "kwai kwai shui shui" go to the room when we sleep to just spend time in God's presence. And many things are just unveiled and confirmed what God had been speaking to me in a book Im presently reading entitled 'God Chasers' apart from 'Angels and Demaons' and 'The Da Vinci Code' of which Im concurrently reading also.
The very feature I longed so much for in the program was the altar call for the kids.
I just cant help but tears just flowed down my cheeks when these children responded in coming forward for the altar call whether be it to receive salvation, healing or dedicate themselves to the Lord in service to Him. These verse came to mind :
16But Jesus called the children to him and said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. 17I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it." (Luke 18:16,17)
These children are I would say like the children of Jesus's time.They simply craved for Jesus to touch them.There is absolutely nothing else they want in this world but God alone because He is all they ever have and He is their everything. For us leiz, We really want to draw near to God, but so many things just quenches that hunger with a counterfeit sense of fullness, of what? U tell me man!!! We burnt ourselves out only to still again ritualise church,taste abit of God's goodness and off we are to see what the world has to offer.All it has to give to you is a whole new vicious cycle to continue with in a program-filled sunday. GOD DOESN"T WANT US TO KEEP SEEKING WHAT HE CAN DO FOR US,HE WANTS US TO SEEK HIS FACE EVEN IF IT MEANS TO DIE BECAUSE NOBODY CAN SEE GOD AND LIVE. DIE TO OURSELVES BEFORE HIM!!!
If we really want revival...Seek God and not the revival!! We want revival cause we think revival is a Holy Spirit-come-touch-me-thing and itz all about sensationalism.
Yes! no doubt Revival is about coming to touch us,it is about God's manifested presence coming onto the very place where we are and convicting every heart of itz sin, whether be it a christian or not. When God's presence falls in all itz glory, people cannot stand but fall to their knees in awe before a Holy God in repentence.
And God wants to fall where His temple is open to Him of whom we are His very temples. God is gonna break out of the ark of the covanent,and touch His people.
His temple Has got to be one whose temple has a torn curtain between the Holy Place and the Holies of Holies. A broken Spirit is the torn curtain which is the avenue to having God's manifested presence radiating from us,A Holy Spirit revival has gotta began with us acknowledging we can never ever, ever,ever and ever get enough.We cannot carry God on our carts. God put rings on the ark of the covanent for a reason, and though we think God is irrational all the time,it is us who is irrational to use carts to carry God's presence.God put rings on the ark so you can have yourselves put in him with a rod through the holes and carry it.the carts we tried to keep using as our primary vehicle to move God's presence will kill us like Uzzah who touched the ark to keep it from falling. We just trust God's design of the ark. The cart could be the programs we have in church that we think will carry God's presence, It'll give way to circumstance like it did hitting a point where God wants out! Outta the box! We see God in the box all the time and call on Him on our every whim and fancy. Eh..Whos God? We are to be the vessels of honour carrying His glory and giving Him the glory to touch people's lives.
Let us simply be as children seeking the Father's touch. Joseph had a sense of security in his position in God and in his father's confidence and love in him and desired to be holy for God that made him rule of Egypt.Moses took the burning bush experience and brought the Israelites outta Egypt,not just a taste His presence like we would durian,savouring every bit of it even on our fingers yet when we are to plant the seeds after tasting itz goodness,We throw away the seeds. How much more is God than durians? doesnt having tasted His love and in all itz goodness make us want to sow the seeds to bear more of His Goodness and letting others taste of His love and goodness as well?
