Good, news. Tonight's makan all habis dimakan! Great time to fill the stomach and to fill the heart with fellowship!

Okay, lesson for this week!


To study corporate anointing let’s look at Psalm 133
Discovery questions:
1. What do you think is the subject matter of this psalm? (v1)
2. What does he say unity among brethren is like? – v2 ( the anointing oil) v3 ( the dew from Mt Hermon)
3. How does the anointing oil flow ? ( v2) What do you think this symbolizes?
From the head (leaders ) to beard (body of believers ) to collar of his robes ( community)
4. What happens when there is unity ? ( v3 – where there is unity the Lord commands a blessing and life that flows outwards )

Understanding Questions:
In this psalm we learn that unity among brothers in Christ is both good and fragrant (v1) like the anointing oil that is poured on Aaron ( we studied this in Ex 30:23 - -30)

5. Why is unity among brethren good? When there is Unity God is able to move in a powerful way – there is a blessedness released that is beyond measure - each person’s gifts and experiences of life is all brought together and when Holy Spirit is there then the combined effect is like the anointing oil poured on Aaron – only this time its not on one person but on a group of believers. Think of all the ingredients used in anointing oil …..

6. Why is unity like a corporate anointing?
Look at Eph 4:11-13 – how many types of ministries are there?
5 – apostles ( bring in government ) , prophets ( bring in correction), teachers ( is like measuring rod to guide), evangelists ( bring in harvest), pastors ( is like a shepherd) …. Each of this gift is like one of the spices used in the anointing oil.
They function well when the Holy Spirit unite them all to flow as one ( see Eph 4: 3-6) When they flow together like the anointing oil mixed together – there is power released and the whole body of believers can now serve effectively and they also reach Christ like maturity.

7. What then prevents the corporate anointing from flowing?

• when we each do our own thing and refuse to function as one body
• when Christians with different gifting operate as individuals rather than as part of body of believers.
• when there is division or no submission
• when we don’t invite the Holy Spirit into our lives as a group and individually

Application:
1. What in our cell will prevent God’s corporate anointing ?
2. Shall we all ask God to unite us so that there is a corporate anointing over us as a cell and as a church. If we want to touch the community we need this corporate anointing.

From Witch Doctor to Apostle

Am blessed by Ps Dr Paul Ai's new book. Really amazing testimonies on how life changes by the Power of Holy Spirit. Once were labeled as 'Crazy Preacher' but one need to learn of his commitment and passion for Christ.
Some important lesson from his book;
1) Power of Holy Spirit that defeated the 3366 gods.
2) Be effective for God that no prison can contain his passion!
3) Principles of tithing and love offering to mission.
4) Power of Women Ministry - when men is not around & where men cannot go.
5) 100 folds Prosperity

Farewell for Fico!

Sad for us to have Fico leaving us (Malaysia) after 4 years working in Malaysia. For the last 2 years we had lots of sharing and blessing from Fico to our cell group. And we had seen Fico grow in the LORD in leaps and bounces. Here.. Fico giving us an account of his next plan in Turkey.
We were blessed by Don who lead us into the Word of God. This year we had a plasma tv to help us with the power point presentation! Praise God for His provision.
MEN praying for Fico and giving affirmations from the Word of God.
Of course, Kye Kye will missed Fico dearly because they had been friends since Kye Kye birth :(
Not all sad news... we had a good news to announce ... Lance Evo is attached to a sweetheart! The entire cell members were questioning him! You should see her pic, really a BeautiSome Couple!



Ha, not forgetting the part of the scripture we had discussed in cell;

The anointing oil is multi-dimensional. Exo 30:22-25, we need:-
2 parts of Myrrh (v23) - "Marar", to trickle, to be or make bitter, vexed, angered, grieved. It symbolises death to self.
1 part of Sweet Cinanmon - Sweet thing, sweetness of grace, fragance, grace.
1 part of Sweet Calamus - Ganeh, rod or reed used for goverment & measure. Represents goverment & order.
2 parts of Cassia - Giddah, act of submission, represent true humility of worship, speaks royalty.
3 parts of Olive Oil - Oil, symbol of Holy Spirit, used to activate & release the ingredients to mix and flow together.

What we can learn about anointing from this?

1. Anointing comes only if we embrace suffering, good times, submission and stay within God’s assigned governance given through church authority.
2. Each of these ingredients when mixed does not mix –until the Olive Oil – which represents the Holy Spirit is poured in. In other words anointing comes into a person’s life when we allow the Holy Spirit to mix all these elements into our lives.
3. We also need to remember that the anointing is not about the oil but about the Holy Spirit. Also Jesus is the Anointed One – so we are anointed to be like Christ.
4. We are also anointed to function like Christ – in character, ministry, and mission – a love for the lost.
