Through the last few difficult months, I have never felt more alone in my life. Yet, I am always reminded that although I may feel alone, in truth I am far from. So it is with utmost gratitude that I would like to appreciate each and every one of you that have stood by me in spirit, in action and in words. Together with the promises of the Word and the presence of God, your support has been the rod and staff that I lean on during these “valley moments” … the arms that hold me up when the pressure of the situation threatens to break me down. To the little boy who asks Jesus to protect me each night before he sleeps … To the doctor who cares for my family and believes in us unreservedly … To the staffs who serve tirelessly for the church through it all … To the zone leaders who pray and confess God’s goodness for my life unceasingly … To the members who cheer up my darkest days with a smile and a note of encouragement … To members of the Internet community worldwide for their kind words on Facebook and Twitter that bless and uplift me daily … To the local pastors who stand with me unwavering … To the overseas ministries, missionaries, disciples, and Bible school graduates who choose to love me, believe in me, and pray for me constantly … To my parents, in-laws, siblings, cousins, nephews and nieces who have shown so much strength and grace in the midst of our tough times … To my little boy Dayan who is the joy of my life … And to my darling wife Sun who has been my pillar of strength … THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I count it my greatest privilege to serve you in and through City Harvest Church, and to be called a friend.
“Thank you for giving to the Lord,
I am a life that was changed.
Thank you for giving to the Lord,
I am so glad you gave.”
I am so glad you gave. ~ Ray Boltz

It wasn’t merely a climactic finale to all the hard work and dedication that had been put in by the staff and ministry volunteers of the church; it was a culminating representation of all that the church has achieved in its 20 years of existence through the goodness of God and the sacrifices of its members. In a short span of five days in May, the CHC congregation aptly displayed its unique DNA to the 25,245 delegates coming from 70 countries representing 2,086 churches. What is the City Harvest DNA? In essence, it is the message of the Cross — “loving God wholeheartedly and loving people fervently” (Matt. 22:37-40) — while simultaneously crossing over and engaging the culture of our societies so that the message can be communicated in a fashion that is both relevant and attractive to the generation of our times (Matt. 5:14-16). Let me take this opportunity to thank both the CHC congregation as well as our visiting friends for making the conference one of the most groundbreaking Christian conferences in recent history. :) But what a difference a day makes … The morning after the Asia Conference concluded, certain members of the church, including myself, were called to assist local authorities in an investigation into the management of church funds. The page had turned. The celebration had abruptly ended. Because we’re in the midst of the investigation, I am unable to provide any details about the progress besides what already has been released by the Singapore Police in their statement to the press. But I would like to assure everyone that I, together with the Management Board of the church, am fully cooperative in providing the necessary information needed for the investigation. On a more personal note, I would also like to assure everyone that my family and I are doing well. I am awed by the concern that so many have shown during this time. I am also deeply grateful for the support and advice that has been so generously given. Thanks to all of your love and support, I’ve realized that this is the most opportune moment in my life to reflect on what matters most to me in my life: Faith, Family and Friends. FAITH. My relationship with God is and always has been at the centre of my life. During times of adversity, I have always taken comfort in one thing that I know to be true: I have honestly served God and shepherded His people to the best of my abilities. It matters most to me that my account to God is absolute and I can say without hesitation that I have done my best to glorify His name and build His church. Loving God is my deepest passion and it is my greatest privilege to serve Him with all I have. FAMILY. Other than my relationship with God, my family represents the portion of my life for which I am most undeserving of and thankful for. If the fruit of my faith is the legacy I leave in this world from my existence, then my family is the legacy that I have gained in return. What a profitable exchange! Without my wife and son, I would be a poor man indeed. FRIENDS. “A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity” (Prov. 17:17). How true. In this time of trial, I see who my friends are and appreciate the confidence they have in me. Confidence given not because I’m a “pastor,” but because I have in some way or another proven myself worthy to be called a “friend.” Their kind words and thoughtful insights have kept my spirits up during this time. Trust is such a precious commodity. To my friends both within and out of CHC who have chosen to trust in the intent of my heart, I can only say “Thank You.” It has been a glorious 20 years of church building filled with tears and triumph, brokenness as well as breakthroughs. What can we hope for the years to come? Well, we know from the Holy Bible that God’s thoughts toward us are thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give us a future and a hope (Jer. 29:11). I believe that the City Harvest story will continue to unfold. There is not a hint of doubt in my heart that my Lord Jesus Christ is not only the author of our faith, but also its finisher (Heb. 12:2). So it is on that promise we should stand, trusting that His Word is true, His heart is for us, and His love will never fail. ]]> http://www.konghee.com/www/2010/06/reflections/feed/ 528 The Sufferings of Job Audio (2 CD) – English http://www.konghee.com/www/2010/05/the-sufferings-of-job-audio-2-cd-english/ http://www.konghee.com/www/2010/05/the-sufferings-of-job-audio-2-cd-english/#comments Mon, 17 May 2010 13:23:34 +0000 admin http://www.konghee.com/www/?p=6912 The Sufferings of Job Audio (2 CD) – English

The Sufferings Of Jobs: Why Bad Things Happen To Good People is a great uplifter for anyone who is going through a hard time in life.

Kong Hee shares this topic with much empathy on how life can be filled with heartaches and hardships that are sometimes downright unfair. He then encourages us on how we can learn to trust God’s heart when sometimes we cannot see His hand working in our lives.

Job—quoted from the Bible in this series, have faced much pain, tragedy and loss. But instead of becoming embittered and resentful, he grew to live out his full purpose in life with God.

Listen to this album and be greatly encouraged to see how sufferings are allowed by God to take you into your destiny & eternal purpose, just like Job!
