Lately, the Lord has led me into a very interesting phase of my life and ministry. Since I’ve delegated most of my responsibilities in FCBC to a new and capable team, I’m in a season where God has the freedom to put me in places and situations that fulfill His purpose in my life. Right now, I feel like God’s special agent – fully at his disposal.
Around this time last year, I was invited to minister to the Chinese churches in Europe at a conference held in Paris. Although I initially turned down the invitation, I eventually went as I felt a strong prompting from the Holy Spirit at the last minute. During that conference, God revealed to me that the Chinese churches in Europe are His buried spiritual dynamites, and He intends to ignite them in a mighty revival. We will then see the Chinese churches across the land rise up supernaturally and transform the spiritual atmosphere of Europe.
After receiving this revelation, I longed to connect these Chinese churches with our fellow G12 churches in France. This year, when I learned that the G12 France Conference was going to be held just a week before the annual Chinese Revival Conference, I decided to attend the G12 Conference just to link some of the Chinese pastors in Paris with the G12 churches in France. But before I left for the airport to fly to Paris, I received a call from Pastor Cesar Castellanos telling me that he could not make it to the G12 Conference and asked me to take over as the keynote speaker of the entire conference.
As keynote speaker, I had new insights into the leadership structure of the G12 movement in France. God used me not only to speak powerfully at the conference, but also to establish a strong connection between the leaders of the G12 churches and Chinese churches in Paris. It was a tremendous spirit-filled event, and the organisers have jointly decided to book the same venue next year so both conferences run back to back. This way, more French and Chinese leaders will be able to attend both conferences. I was so encouraged that God used me to bring about unity among them and to prepare for the revival that is to come. I was totally awed by this divine setup, which brought to mind His words in Romans 8:28 (NKJV), “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.”
If we truly love God and want to fulfill His purpose in our lives, then let us devote our lives to His divine setup!
