“So all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet saying:”Behold ,the virgin shall be with a child,and bear a son,and they shall call His name Immanuel,”Which is translated “God with us” (Mathhew 1:23-NKJV)
This year’s Christmas,I spend my time ministering and relaxing in Penang Island,a state on the north of Malaysia.This happened when I was invited by the SIB church of Penang to preach on December 25.2011.It was Pastor/Prophet Danil Raut,the President of SIB church who ask me if I can minister of Christmas day in Penang SIB which I gladly accepted.Bless his good heart for such openness .I was preaching on the topic of “Immanuel”how Jesus was born to be our “Immanuel”for God is with us in everything that we do.
What a joy to teach and preach about the wonderful Saviour who came to save all human kind from the power of death and provide eternal salvation for them who believe.This is my first time preaching in Malaysian (BM)language to a Sarawakian and Sabahan congregation after four years.I am so happy seeing how,many younger generation from my own home state of Sabah and Sarawak (Borneo Island) seen in this northen part of the state in west Malaysia.They all came here either as student or working adult.The Church service started at 2.00 PM.There was a special anointing presence while I was ministering and its been my earnest prayer that the younger generation will experience such great transformation and restoration in their life.I was bless and what an honor to minister in this part of the state.Later on,the church members invited me to join them for a BB Q Fellowship by the sea side beach.

Its been over fours years I have not been to the beach and what a joy and refreshment to sit by the beach and contemplating this year’s ministry.The Lord has been so good to me and by sending me to minister in this Island,I was refresh and comforted spiritually.This is also the first time I celebrated my Christmas without the company of my dear loved one,who left for a sabathical separation relationship with me for a year now.I wish and pray for her that she will be happy being united with her family this Christmas.In all things God works for good to them that love Him (Roman8:28)
I also spend a private time praying and worshiping the Lord by the seaside among the beach rocks in the evening.One of the church members,a “Penan” Sarawakian young man was eager to join me.The Spirit led me to him and I spoke to him :”Young man,do you want to join me praying in the Holy Ghost?Do you pray in tongues?”He answered:”I have not spoken or prayed in tongues before!”He was 27 and sad to see this find Christian man still lack spiritual experience.As an apostle,God has a special anointing in my life to to pray and teach saints on the subject of “Baptism in the Holy Ghost”and within 2-3 minute of sharing to him,he was alrady praying and speaking in tongue as the Spirit gave him utterance to pray !What a joy seeing this young penan man filled with the Holy Ghost and this should be my first time praying and laying hand of someone to be filled with he Holy Spirit by the beach on Christmas day!Glory
For my two nights stay in Penang,Deacon Rio Gani was my host and he let me stayed in his company’s apartment (Vistana Apartment)This find young man,an engineer by profession has been a blesser to me by providing me with the best accommodation and food in town.I see him as a young budding lay minister whose God’s grace draw many younger generation to draw near to God.While at his apartment, we prayed together and I gave him a personal prophecy on what the Lord has installed for him in years to come.While praying ,I saw in the spirit about a woman that was prepared for him and confirmed to him that its the will of the Lord for him with her.He later told me that he is getting engaged to his girlfriend by February next year.

In serving the Lord,there is always a price that need to be paid and I will have just have submit to His divine will and call in regard to my earthly relationship.I praise God and amazed seeing His awesome grace,Mercy and blessing to me this year.I am very positive in welcoming the new year of 2012,believing that God has still install the very best that is yet to come.God to me is indeed “Immanuel”in Christ this 2011.
