The number 7 is a biblical number of completion, fullness and perfection.
The number 14 is the number of redemption and salvation.

Do you know that the Malaysian flag have 14 lines (jalur) which represents the 13 states and the Federal Territories in Malaysia? The Federal Territories are the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya and Labuan. And do you know that the star on the flag once had only 13 edges but it was changed to 14? Why not 16 including the 3 Federal Territories?
2 x 7 = 14.
Double completion? Divine plan or mere coincidence? You judge.

Tunku Abdul Rahman declared independence with 7 shouts of “Merdeka”.
What else can that mean?

By making a smart guess inspired by faith, the 7 shouts of “Merdeka” can mean one thing - that God is in control of the birth of this country and nation. It may also mean the completion of one part of God’s plan and the beginning of another. The guesses can go on and on and on. You may not believe but it is okay. But one thing is for sure – God wants Malaysia to be redeemed.

So many things need to be done. Looking at a wider view, we not only see the need for the Gospel to be shared in Malaysia but to the whole world – every corners of the earth! And what have we done so far?! Nothing! Every Sunday we go to church dressed in our best of clothes (maybe not), grab our usual place right at the back of the church, sing hymns, clap hands, give offerings, listen to the sermon, and finally go back. It is the same thing every Sunday in and out. For years the Gospel has given us the green light to “Go! Go! Go!” we HEAR HEAR HEAR that all the time but yet we are still sitting HERE HERE HERE in church every week. Pif! Talk about wasting saliva! >.<" Haha. Talk about sharing the Gospel to everyone in this country. We are so scared to even share with our friends whom we are close to, how then will the Gospel reach the ears of those “don’t-share-to-me-or-I-will-sue-you” people? Like what Pastor John said in my chat box, if we Christians keep on doing what we have been doing 50 years ago, things will not change. I repeat, things will not change! If we Christians keep on sitting in church having a good time “serving” in the numerous “ministries” and doing what we want to do, Malaysia will never see the truth!

Yea, go on. Go on gossiping, go on tearing down one another, go on throwing shit at one another, go on chatting about what is the latest fashion and trend, go on doing what we have been doing all these while. Keep doing it long enough and you will realize that your life have passed by quicker than it seemed.

How will the church go out into the world and share the Good News when we are so busy tearing down one another inside the church?

It is your choice whether you want to change or not.

A radical approach needs to be taken. Quoting from Pastor John, the monks at Myanmar are marching, what are we Christians doing? No I am not saying that we rally a thousand Christians and march in the streets of KL. Get what I mean figuratively?

A lot needs to be done...

Where do we start?

How do we start?

Start with your life. Place God in the centre of your life and everything else will slowly fall into place like a jigsaw puzzle. Place God in the centre of your life and your calling will be clear enough. Place God in the centre of your life and build everything else around God.

Jesus started with only 12 men of whom one betrayed Him. Jesus started to build his life little by little and when he was ready, he set out on his ministry at age 30. With these twelve men, the Gospel has gone so far, but yet – not far enough. We are talking about discipleship here. I will cover this topic in another post.

Where is God in our life? From reading blogs, I can see how little God’s role in our life is. All we blog about is me, myself and I. Where then is God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit? Ha! Where?

Grace Assembly’s senior pastor, Pastor Henry told us two weeks back, “Don’t imitate the world. Instead, the world should imitate you!” We Christians are of a higher standard. We do not do what the world does, but the world should do what we do. The world uses the blog for selfish reasons, what then do we Christians do with blog? Do we imitate the world or does the world imitate us? Be radical.

Malaysia will not change if we keep doing what we have been doing for the past 50 years. And what have we been doing for the past 50 years? The answer is, we have been doing everything that is not of necessity. In short, we have been doing NOTHING!

Matthew 9:37-38
Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”

50 years has gone by. The Gospel has gone far but not far enough.
Ask God, therefore, to send YOU into the harvest field.
