“Now after six days Jesus took Peter,James and John his brother,led them up on a high mountain by themselves;and He was transfigured before them.His face shone like the sun,and His cloths became as white as the light.And behold,Moses and Elijah appeared to them,talking to Him.Then Peter answered and said to Jesus,”Lord,it is good for us to be here;if You wish,let us make here three tabernacles;one for You,one for Moses and one for Elijah.”(Matthew 17:1-4-NKJV)
“I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord..”(2 Corinthians 12:1).
As an apostle to the gentiles,Paul the apostle was given much vision and revelation in his lifetime,where one of such was that he was taken and caught up to heaven,to the Paradise of God in heaven and saw many unspeakable mysteries which is so personal to him.The Holy Spirit did this for a divine purpose,because apostle Paul was ordained by God as an apostle to teach and reach out the gentiles with the Gospel of the Lord and to reveal to them the manifold grace of God in the Kingdom of Christ.Therefore,I will also want to tell you some of the vision and revelation that the Lord has shown to me.This vision is so significance to my life and ministry to the point where it has shaped my ministry for 30 years.
When the Lord Jesus Christ said “Many are called but few are chosen.”(Matthew 22:14-NKJV)He called twelve disciples and ordained them to be His apostles.Among the twelve,He specifically chooses three to be the future pillars of the church in their day (Galatia 2:9).Apostle Peter,John and James was the “chosen”one for this divine grace and calling.Because of that,you will notice that these three apostles were given a more personal and specialize grace were God kingdom’s manifold mysteries were revealed to them in a special way.In this occasion,the Lord Jesus led these three up to a high mountain and there,showed His glory as the Begotten Son of God.He was transfigured gloriously before their eyes and they even heard the voice of the Almighty Abba ,Father in heaven saying :
“This is My beloved Son,in whom I am well pleased.Hear Him!”(Matthew 17:5-NKJV)
The divine revelation about a Triune God in the Godhead is a mystery that we all just need to have faith to accept that God Almighty manifested Himself in Three person i.e.God the Father,God the Son (Jesus Christ)and God the Holy Spirit.This is where the ‘United Pentecostal Church’ denomination was in error because of their teaching about “oneness”doctrien,signifying that the father is the same as Jesus and the Holy Ghost are one in personhood..But in this verse,we can clearly hear the Father’s divine voice declaring His favor to God the Son ,Jesus Christ.
Apostles and prophets are the two foundational pillar in the body of Christ where those who are called to stand in this office are given a specific divine apostolic and prophetic task and mandate to equip the saints for the work of ministry.(Ephesian 4:11).The three apostles were also part of the “12 apostles of the LAMB “a special class of apostles where these apostles have walked with the Lord Jesus for three and half years later and later to be the bearer of Christ’s resurrection.(Acts 1:22)
Many are called but few are chosen for some specific apostolic task in the Kingdom.In the Old Testament,Moses and Elijah are two of those many prophets that was chosen for a greater work and specific task in His kingdom.Because of the great task that the Lord has installed for these three apostles to overseer His New Testament Church,John ,Peter and James was given a supernatural encounter where they were permitted to see Moses and Elijah the old Testament Prophets which have lived some two thousand years before their time.I believe,our spirit man is eternal and you can see here Moses and Elijah the Prophets are well alive and were even revealed standing together with the Lord Jesus Christ and talking to Him.Peter,James and John saw Moses and Elijah and their life was transformed to later function specifically in the New Testament Church as great leaders who always being sought after by the Church for any important leadership and management issues in their days.This vision is so significance to the apostles and it does later shaped their life and ministry in a special apostolic and prophetic manner.
I wish that the Lord grant me to see Moses and Elijah in a vision just like unto this three apostles.These great prophets are my two most favorite Prophets of the Old Testament apart from Abraham,the prophet of Faith.There are just too many things in their life that I would desire to know from them both.Many time I would pray as such :
” Abba,Father..I pray that I will have the most meekness and humble heart like unto Moses and I pray that I will walk and have the faith like unto Elijah who can pray for heaven to open it’s windows for the rain to to fall “
It was also Moses’s life who has inspired me to go up to a high mountain in the 80′s to pray and fast for a month alone.It was also Elijah’s life that has inspired me to constantly go into some secluded woods or jungle and stayed there even weeks just to be alone with God and seek His face.(Elijah stayed in a cave as his hideout from Jezebel’s murderous threat).BUT unfortunately,the Lord so far has not granted my earthly desire to meet with them in person.In my 30 years of ministry,I had a divine face to face encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ twice.Once in 1981 and the other one in 2007.I knew then that through this Vision,He has called me to be His apostle and prophet for a specific task to the body of Christ in Asia.
However,seeing and meeting some of the great prophets of God that went before us is an honor.I wish as an apostle of the Lord,I will also have a divine spiritual experience like the apostle Peter,James and John went through.And He did it in 2007.The Lord gave me a vision where He permitted me to meet prophet Abraham,the father of faith of the Old Testament.This vision is so significance to me because,God wanted me to have the spirit of fatherhood like unto Abraham who was called the “father of many nations”.As the head Bishop of my church where I preside a bishop,preside over 350 pastors and 7000 members in Asia,I am learning a lot on how to be a ‘spiritual father figure’to many and fathering new young generation today.
I believe the main reason that the Lord gave me this vision in 2007 was so that I can learn as a spiritual father on how to prepare the body of Christ in these last days for the second coming of Jesus.I believe as a spiritual father,many apostle and prophet will father many nations in the power and spirit of Elijah,for God’s prophetic word says:
“Behold,I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD.And he will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,and the hearts of the children to their fathers,lest I come and strike the earth with a curse” (Malachi 4:5-6-NKJV)
Unto Abraham,God said : “No longer shall your name be called Abram,but your name shall be Abraham,for I have made you a father of many nations” (Genesis 17:5-NKJV)
“Therefore it is of faith that it might be according to grace,so that the promise might be sure to all the seed,not only to those who are of the law,but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham,who is the father of us all( as it is written,”I have made you a father of many nations )in the presence of Him who he believed.(Romans 4:16-17-NKJV)
The task of returning the hearts of the father to the children and vise versa is a divine task of such Abrahamic Apostle and Prophet who flow under the anointing power of Elijah.Due to this “missing”father and son spiritual link,many young apostles,prophets,pastors,evangelists and teachers do not have a strong apostolic and prophetic based to father the saints.Much childish immature ministry and doctrine were being produced even to the most extreme one and it has created such diversion, manipulation and misabuse.The five fold ministry and saints need a real “father figure”in the apostolic and prophetic manner and the Holy Ghost is preparing many who walk in the spirit and power of Elijah for this purpose.I am one of such man being anointed by the Lord to walk in the spirit of Abraham and power of Elijah.BUT I am not the only one,”I believe now God is raising many more’end time”apostles and prophets who would walk in the spirit and power of Elijah to prepare the bride of Christ for His second coming”(This I speak in the spirit of prophecy)
“He will also go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah,to “turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just,to make ready a people prepared for the Lord ” (Luke 1:17-NKJV)
VISION – SEQUENCE ONE
For this manner,let me share with you a vision that the Lord showed to me back in 2007.In this vision,the Spirit showed it to me in a three spiritual sequence.Let me start to share with you the first sequence of my vision.
This vision that the Lord gave happened 23 days before my 42 birthday and this was the most wonderful birthday present that I have ever received from my heavenly Father.This is vision of the night,while I was on my bed happened on the night of June 5,2007.A few days ago prior to that,I was contemplating on the word of Jesus about the rich man and poor lazarus who died and how both their soul now in the realm of death.While Lazarus was resting at “Abraham’s bosom”,the rich man was suffering in hell and even had a conversation with father Abraham.Upon reading it,I pray unto the Lord that I would desire if I too will be permitted to see father Abraham to get a better picture of this amazing revelation of God’s mysteries about life after death.

Then one night, While laying on my bed,suddenly the Holy Spirit open my spiritual eyes and I began to see a vision in the spirit realm.In this vision,I saw myself standing in a strange land,which is a hilly land.There was a valley within where I stood and while I was looking around the valley,I saw from the distance a man walking along a pathway and coming toward me.As he draw near me,I began to see a more clearer feature of him.I have never seen this man before in my whole entire life.This is the description of him while he draw toward me.
“He wear a dark deep blue robe girded with a brown rope belt around his waist.His hair is black and a bit curly just around the neck shoulder long.He had a beard and in his right hand he hold a big book with a leather light chocolate color.He was wearing and some kind of sandal.I saw the feature color of his face,hand and leg..The color of his skin is all light dark (not too dark and not too fair).Then a word of knowledge came upon me and I just had the knowing that this man is father Abraham of the Old Testament.While Abraham was about to walk by me,he look at me and smile for a while but we did not talk or greet with each other.BUT something tell me that his gesture was an invitation to accompany him to go to a certain place.AND so I too began to walk and follow him from behind which was approximately 5 meter distance.
Abraham walked toward a high hill and was walking faster and I keep following him from behind until we both reached the top of a hill/mountain.A knowing again came upon me that this mountain was actually the very mount of Moriah.It was all look flat land as my eyes can see on top of this mountain.There was no particular kind of building seen for now,though a thought did occur in me as to where is this famous “dome of Rock”mosque has gone.I was saying to myself :”Am I present in the future or in the past?”.BUT I was convinced that I was seeing some symbolic significance revelation about the future.
I then saw that prophet Abraham began to kneel down to worship God while kissing this book which he laid down in front of him.I was wondering about this book and was incline in my heart to say that he was holding an old Testament book of Law.(This is all symbol to me)I too began to kneel down to worship God our Father in Heaven.After Abraham had worship the LORD,he then raise up and began to look around looking for wood log to built an altar.To my surprise,there was just woods log of beam available everywhere and he began to use such woods beam to build a four square type of an altar.He just began to pile up such strong straight beam on top of one another.The altar that he build was about seven feet tall.After he completed building this altar,suddenly I saw the sekinah glory of the the LORD began to fill the altar.
Such glory was seen as of a pillar of cloudy smoke and fire going up and so glorious to behold.I then began to see many people coming up to the mountain from all the place just to see this magnificent altar and “tent”so to speak.I was so focus looking at this glorious manifestation of glory on the altar that when I turn to see Abraham,I saw that he was no more to be seen.Then a new scenery began to unfold before me.This is the second sequence of my vision which I will continually in my next posting.Till then,be bless in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
