Albert's Quotable Quotes 2014

The utility-based approach to church ministry is most dangerous. We use people instead of empowering people. If they are deemed as not useful, we reject them. The result is an enslaved people, bound by duties, rules, laws, guilt and fear. Instead of having love and reverential fear for God, they develop a dreadful fear for Him. Their spirits cry for liberty but the church leadership gives them bondage instead. In time, they become disappointed and leave the local church. Some recover in other good churches but many do not. They have 'lost their faith', thinking that their abusive church is the representation of all Christendom. They want absolutely nothing to do with God or His Church anymore. AK

-----------------------------------------

The danger of our healing testimonies is that we only proclaim what Christ has done for us and not who Christ really is. Yes, eight years ago, the Lord had miraculously healed me instantly of my chronic back pain and nerve-pull caused by Ankylosing spondylitis. However, today, what is proclaimed is not about the healing but the Healer... not about the miracle but the Miracle Giver... not about man but God.
My personal miracle cannot heal you... only Christ and Christ alone can! Seek Him and Him alone! Your miracle is in the hands of Christ alone.
--------------------------------------------------

We need more ministers than preachers! There are so many people who need to experience the Gospel of Jesus through His loving touch. They need healing in their souls, spirits and bodies. We can become God's hands extended and touching them for Christ. We can minister healing in the name of Jesus. We can get rid of the demons that oppress them... in the mighty name of Jesus! We can bring healing by letting the love of Jesus flow through us. Yes, we can do all these because we are the servants of the Most High God. We have been given power and authority to minister! We are His ministers!
--------------------------------------------------

Did Judas see Jesus healed the sick, cast out demons and raised the dead? Did he see Jesus walked on water? Did he listened to all his sermons and teachings? Did he attend the best fellowship in the world? What happened to Judas? His story shows that when one has a different heartbeat from the Lord, one runs his own life and follows his own agenda. The King is there but He is never your king. And you are never a part of His kingdom because you have your own kingdom. The end result is destruction in spite of having walked so close to Jesus.
--------------------------------------------------

Grace and I have been healing the infirm and casting out demons, in the mighty name of Jesus, for the last eight years. We have witnessed thousands of miracles. Some believers misunderstood us when we say that we are "healing the sick". They say only Jesus can do the healing miracles and not us. They are absolutely correct. We can do nothing.... absolutely nothing without Christ.
We are not the "Chef" who cooks the gourmet food. We are only the "waiters" who serve the customers. We do not take credit for the great food that satisfies the customers even though we may say that we "serve and feed" the customers.
The only problem with some believers is that they refuse to be "waiters". They want the "Chef" to do the serving too. They want Him to carry the dishes to the customers at the table.
--------------------------------------------------
When Jesus had given authority and power to His disciples to cast out demons and heal the sick, He did not go with them. (Luke 9:1-2. 10:1, 9). He instructed them to serve His miracles to the people in need. If we understood this concept, we should see countless people healed and delivered. Remember, we are not the "Chef" but the "waiters". We only serve the miracles that Jesus is doing!
--------------------------------------------------

We do not stay at the Cross. We move on to Resurrection. Then move further to a powerful walk on Pentecost. God does not just save us from darkness, He empowers us to challenge darkness.
--------------------------------------------------

Jesus is alive! We no longer fight for victory but we fight from victory! He saved us from darkness so that we now can overcome darkness!
--------------------------------------------------

The Bible is full of testimonies of divine healing. When the infirm read such testimonies, they get encouraged in their faith and start believing God for their own divine healing. Today, there are also many healing testimonies too. If the Lord has miraculously healed you, be sure to share about His goodness and miracle with others. You have been the recipient of grace and share His grace with others. Your own healing testimony may be the catalyst of increased faith and more healing miracles!--------------------------------------------------

Many small people, experiencing small miracles, in many small places, sharing their small miracles, building more faith, having more miracles, touching more lives, making more believers and transforming this small world for Christ!
--------------------------------------------------


There are people who keep advising us not to minister healing to the infirm because if they are not healed, then they would be very disappointed and will forever doubt whether there is a God. Strange logic! These may be the same people who do not share the Gospel with the lost just because some of them may not believe and thus they prove that the Gospel of Jesus Christ is really ineffective. This type of logic is not from God but from the devil. Who will benefit the most when the Gospel is not shared and the power of God not made manifest? We will continue to minister healing and preach the Gospel with power and authority of the Lord. We thank God for the thousands who got healed and saved because there are many children of God who continue to persevere in spite of such discouraging advice!



--------------------------------------------------


Faith must explore what is opened to us. Peter did not doubt that Jesus could walk on water. He only doubted whether he himself could walk on water. He was not opened to explore the possibility that he could walk all the way to Jesus! We all believe that Jesus can heal but do we believe that Jesus can heal through us?


--------------------------------------------------
What do most church leaders do when they do not experience miracles in their churches? They do what I did for 23 years – they give excuses. I used to say that when Jesus wants to heal somebody, He does not need to go through me to do so. One excuse that I seldom gave was that I personally lacked the faith to believe that Jesus would heal through the Church.
Lacking the faith to believe that Jesus can heal is not only a present-day problem it was there since the time of Christ. We read in Mark 6:1-6 that Jesus encountered this type of unbelief when he ministered with his disciples at his hometown, Nazareth. They believed that they were so familiar with Jesus whom they recognized as the carpenter's son in their little town. And such familiarity blinded their faith. I was too familiar with Jesus and had put him in my little theological box.Nine years ago, I bowed before Him and let Him out of my little prison. Since then, I have witnessed thousands who were miraculously healed by the Lord through his Body - the Church.
--------------------------------------------------To whom God has assigned a task, He will give him or her the appropriate authority and power to achieve the task. That's why God has to give us the Holy Spirit when the assignment is to fulfill the Great Commission. The task is massive but the Holy Spirit moving through the Church is much more awesome than the task at hand. If only all in the Church will allow the Holy Spirit to work through them! AK

Did Judas see Jesus healed the sick, cast out demons and raised the dead? Did he see Jesus walked on water? Did he listen to all his sermons and teachings? Did he attend the best fellowship in the world? What happened to Judas? His story shows that when one has a different heartbeat from the Lord, one runs his own life and follows his own agenda. The King is there but He is never your king. And you are never a part of His kingdom because you have your own kingdom. The end result is destruction in spite of having walked so close to Jesus.





--------------------------------------------------

Can you recall how you struggled to become what your friends and relatives told you what you should become? It was a time of confusion and everything seemed so uncertain. Nothing seemed to correspond with the desire within you. Then the Lord Jesus found you. Suddenly you discovered that the true joy of being yourself was to become what your Creator wanted you to be. You did not allow their opinions to bother you anymore. You stopped comparing yourself with others and began living for God. Life may not be perfect but you are now guided by His Word. You know that when your life journey gets a little tedious or overwhelming, you can always call on Him. He promised that He will never leave or forsake you. He will continue to bless you with wisdom and courage to take charge of your life journey. The question is, for the remaining part of your life, would you continue to trust Him even when the future seems obscure and the journey seems uncertain? Would you?




---------------------------------------


Never, never take busy-ness for the kingdom of God to mean fruitfulness in the kingdom of God. You may be serving just to fulfill your potentials instead of fulfilling the call of God in your life.

What is God asking you to do in spite of the fact that you are very gifted and can do many things? When you seek to fulfill your own potentials, you are doing for self-fulfillment. But when you obey the call of God and zero in on serving His bidding, something happens not only on the outside but also inside.

The faith to obey and submit is the key. As you serve the Lord, the Holy Spirit will cause great transformation within you. You become more and more like Christ. A transformed life is very powerful because by sheer "Christlikeness", this life will impact society. Your transformed life will be the light by which others see the love and grace of God.

You can DO without BEING but you cannot BE without DOING. Keep serving the Lord with this end in mind.


AK----------------------------------------

If you know how to place one day in the hands of God, you'll know how to put your life in the hands of God. For God just needs only one day at a time from you to give you a whole of life of success! And success is becoming the person that God wants you to be!

AK

---------------------------------------

Whenever the Holy Spirit leads you to an assignment, it is because He is setting you up for a blessing with your name on it. Are you called to be an Usher? How about a Sunday School Teacher? Are you called to be a Worship Leader? Are you called to serve in an Orphanage? Are you called to give free tuition to poor kids? Are you called to be a Preacher or Pastor? Whatever God's assignment is for you during this season of your life, it is meant to bless and not exploit you. Don't let the devil convince you and rob you of God's best. God is positioning you so that you are in the finest condition to receive a great harvest that is specially designed for you.

Mountain-moving faith is useless if you do not command the mountain to go in the name of Jesus.

The Mirror or the Face
When you look into a mirror and find that your face is dirty, you have to check whether it is the mirror that is dirty or it's your face. Knowing which one to clean will surely help! When you read the Word of God and it reflects who you really are, it is definitely not the Word of God that is wrong. Don't get rid of this spiritual mirror. Go humbly to Jesus for the cleansing stream from Calvary. You will come out as pure as snow!


Albert Kang

----------------------------


Prayers or Demands
In prayers, instead of requesting from God, we have been making demands. In the course of time, we have gotten terribly upset when those demands were not met. We have deemed that our prayers were reasonable and logical. God should answer them... according to our way. Even though, we claim to be followers of Christ, we have unwittingly made Christ to be our follower. We tell Him how He should answer our prayers and do what we ask. He is now our servant and we are His masters. As long He answers accordingly, our faith in Him remains. However, if a series of demands were not met, we'll fire Him. He will no longer be in our employment. We'll look for another servant.

Of Darkness and Shadows

I would rather walk with God in the dark than go alone in the light.
Mary Gardniner Brainar

When a dark shadow looms large in your life, never fear it. For there is a Great Light behind it.
Albert Kang

The brightest flame casts the darkest shadow.
George R.R. Martin, A Clash of Kings

What would your good do if evil didn't exist, and what would the earth look like if all the shadows disappeared?
Mikhail Bulgakov

... there are shadows because there are hills.
E.M. Forster, A Room with a View

Just as tall trees are known by their shadows, so are good men known by their enemies. 

Chinese Proverb

Death is but a shadow! We rather be hit by the shadow of the lorry than by the lorry itself. Are we afraid of the speeding shadow of the lorry? Never! Should we then be afraid of death? Should not! Like David, we can all say, "yeah, though I walk through the shadow of the valley of death, I shall fear no evil, for God, you are with me." Psalm 23.
Albert Kang

Keep your face always toward the sunshine - and shadows will fall behind you.

Walt Whitman

Heaviest Burden

When it seems that God has allowed you to be weighted down with the heaviest burden, it is because He is already there underneath and bearing that burden with you. For it may be the only solitary moment that He can find to fellowship with you alone. 

Quotation by Rev Albert Kang

10 Interesting Thoughts

1) Prayer is not a "spare wheel" that you pull out when in trouble. It is a "steering wheel" that directs us in the right path throughout life.

9) When you pray for others, God listens to you and blesses them; and sometimes, when you are safe and happy, remember that someone has prayed for you.

10) Worrying does not take away tomorrow's troubles. It takes away today's peace.

God's assignments are always within the confine of certain geographical locations at a certain seasons of your life. If you are not excelling in your present location, find out whether that is the place and time that you have been assigned. When you are where you are assigned, you will find the greatest fulfillment in your ministry. AK

--------------------------

Your enemies are not people who hate you but those who cannot be happy for your success. They try to devalue every good thing that God has blessed you with and only highlight your flaws and past sins. They are the ones who call the miracles of God that come through your ministry as the works of Beelzebub. Do not waste your time trying to explain your position to them. Stay focused on God's assignment for you and fulfill God's purpose in your life. AK

--------------------------

Everything you do is a seed. It can be a seed of blessing or curse. As you sow your words and actions, these seeds embed themselves in the hearts of others. They can grow to a hundredfold of blessings or pain. Therefore, let everything that you say and do be an extension of God's love, grace, mercy and of course, blessings. AK

--------------------------

George Eliot once said, "It's never too late to be what you might have been." Nobody can succeed for you and nobody can fail for you. God has given you your life and He wants you to be responsible for it. You can maximize it for His glory or waste it because of your fear or doubt. AK

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
~ Albert Einstein. You cannot grow your Church if you are doing the same fruitless things over and over again. AK

Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "Thought is the blossom; language the bud; action the fruit behind it." Let the vision of God for your church dominates your mind. Speak that vision with everyone who receives you. Speak like a victor and not a victim. Then actualize your God-given dream to grow your church by the power of the Holy Spirit. AK

--------------------------

We judge others harshly because the chances are that we are under judgement ourselves. We become more gracious with others and magnanimous in our relationships when we ourselves come under the grace and mercy of God. AK

The fruits in the Promised Land are there but you will never taste them if you do not reach out for them. They are within your reach but God never places them in your mouths.

(AK)

----------------------------

Every associate or friend is a center of influence. Like underwater currents, they can sweep you off your feet with their unseen power of influence. They can sweep you towards your God-given purpose or away from it. So, watch and evaluate every friendship. (AK)

------------------------

Even though we say "Church Growth", we are actually saying, "Making Disciples of Christ". Having a large church with only a few true disciples of Christ is like a 350 lbs man - big but mostly fat. AK

 -----------------------

Does the rose complain that it is created for a short time to blossom, smile at the world, share its sweet fragrance and ultimately wither away? Does it refuse to be a rose just because of its extremely short life? Who are you supposed to be in this life and are you maximizing your life? (AK)

------------------

Life should not be lived in such a way that you arrive at the grave in perfect condition, looking your best. It should be totally used up for the kingdom of God. Your life should be fully spent in every avenue of blessings and when you reach heaven, all the angels will gather to exclaim, "Wow, what a life!" AK

God will carve a path out of the Red Sea for His people who are called according to His purpose. AK

To take the Seven Mountains, we do not just dominate them by becoming the leaders of these spheres of influence.

THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT - Bearing fruits alone is not enough because we must bear the right kind of fruits. We may try to trick God by tying apples onto our pear tree. However that will not work. A pear tree cannot bear apples. Jesus said, "Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles? Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them" (Matthew 7:16-20, NIV). AK

Can we trust the advice of doctors who advocate abortion? A doctor also advised Andrea Bocelli's mother to abort Andrea.

-----------------------
Human impossibilities are God’s opportunities. Nothing is impossible to God, not even to heal the most impossible diseases! AK
----------------------
KEEPING FROM EVIL -- What can we say about this evil that is in the hearts of men and women?
The fact is that while we may be shocked by the tragedies, we must recognize that we, ourselves, also have the capacity to do evil. If we were to be thrown into a situation where hatred is rife and anger is common, would our moral foundation collapse? How about a civilized
society where there are prosperity and peace? Will we find evil there?
The sad fact is that evil can be found almost anywhere. We just need to look at our own society and we will find evil reeking within. AK

We cry out to God because our nest is shaking and only to realize that God is the One who is shaking our nest! AK

In the Gospel, Jesus NEVER PRAYED FOR THE SICK. there is not recorded a single miraculous healing in which the miracle was a direct result of His prayer to the Father on behalf of the afflicted person. Rather, Jesus utilized His God-given authority and power to heal the sick.... In every instance, he DID NOT PRAY but COMMANDED THE INFIRM TO BE HEALED. AK

To be a Missional Church is not simply how many people minister inside our church, but how many minister outside our church. AK

Night never exists as the sun always shines. It's only dark because we live in the shadow of the sun. So often, Christians are not victorious because they only live in the shadow of the Son and not the light of the Son. AK

Have you heard of THE CAMBRIDGE SEVEN?
These faithful men had served God for their generation. Their testimonies proved that when lives are fully committed to the Lord, they will create great impact upon their generation for the kingdom of God.
May God raise up more faithful men and women to serve our generation. AK

What the Elijah Challenge trainers have taught is the Authority to Heal instead of the Gift of Healing. During the training, before believers are healed, they are asked to confess and repent of their sins. The reason is for believers their healing is conditional. (Matthew 5:24) AK

Hide me now under Your wings. Cover me within Your mighty hand. When the oceans rise and thunders roar I will soar with You above the storm. Father You are King over the flood I will be still and know You are God. AK

The point is that what we see is what we will become. That is, if I see myself as a loser, a loser I will be. If I see myself as a winner, a winner I will be. As Jesus said to the blind men, "According to your faith will it be done to you." And what is faith? It is visualizing or seeing what God wants you to be and, with his help, acting on what you see to make it happen. AK

There are certain prayers that God does not like to hear - for example, when you pray, "God, please send people to our church". He has asked you to GO and make disciples and now you ask Him to GO and do the work for you. So, is He God or you are His god? AK

You cannot go back and change a bad beginning but you start today and create a great future. By the grace and power of God, you can do it "through Christ who gives you strength" (Philippians 4:13) AK

If you are a Disciple of Christ, God has given you the authority and power to heal the sick whenever you share the Gospel.

Attend this Elijah Challenge Healing Seminar and learn how to exercise your faith in healing the sick. ...Hands on training after every session. You will heal the sick yourself. AK

REFIRING AND NOT RETIRING - For years, I was worried about the big five O but now at 56, it isn't that bad. I am busier for the kingdom than when I was in my 40s. My preaching and training engagements are filling up my calendar. I suspect I am enjoying the best time of my life. AK

Just read the Word of God and feel so good about being able to trust His promises: "The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God stands forever." Isaiah 40:8 AK

Certainly we need to follow our God-given leaders. However, when they are in the wrong (as we/they sometimes are), it is important to confront them in Christian love where necessary, and to do what is right. As Peter pointed out, no leader has a right to control (lord it over) anybody else. When we do, we are playing the role of God and the Holy Spirit in their life.  AK

Today let us meditate on the importance of having mercy and love for the poor and desolate people. The Bible proclaims about the importance of extending our concern and love to others. Proverbs 19:17, “He who is kind to the poor lends to the LORD, and he will reward him for what he has done.” Reach out and touch someone who are struggling financially for Christ! AK

There are lay people who work just as hard during the weekends. They are the ushers, greeters, worship leaders, musicians, backup singers, sound technicians, counselors and disciples doing all types of chores in church. We, pastors, get to rest on Mondays but these lay workers go AK
right back to their jobs. To these dedicated servants of God, I salute you all for your faithfulness. AK

For God to truly change our hearts we have to step out and go to the places of the world where people are hurting.Have you gone on a mission trip yet? AK

There are two ways that we can walk through a day. One is to walk by sight, and the other it walk by faith. To walk by faith means to walk in the truth of God's word and the presence of the Holy Spirit who lives in you. AK
