FIRST MISSION OBJECTIVE STILL NO NEGLECTED

Shalom All,

After a long day break while working on the church members, I reviewed back my mission objectives that the Lord asked me to do. When I read back Isaiah 49, it is really make me realised on the past and current situation. Let me explain one by one verse and the main topic is “The Lord’s Servant Commissioned”.

v 1 - Listen to me, all you in distant lands! Pay attention, you who are far away! The Lord called me before my birth; from within the womb he called me by name. (The Lord was calling all the people from far away and asked them to pay more attention. Before I was born and still in my mother womb, the Lord already called my name - this is applied to everyone and the Lord is a planner since beginning).

v2 - He made my words of judgment as sharp as a sword. He has hidden me in the shadow of his hand. I am like a sharp arrow in his quiver. (The Lord had protected me since I was young as I never fall into bad company like getting involved in illegal activities since 3 years old. Moreover, I was not staying with my parents as they divorced and under care of the babysister 24 hours 7 days 365 days. Till I was 15 years old, I left the house, and my father rent a room for me. I have been naughty for awhile and make stupid mistakes but the Lord had sharper me up from further harm).

v3 - He said to me, “You are my servant, Israel, and you will bring me glory.” (Since the Lord spoke to me the second time after the Holy Spirit spoke to me, I had been called to do the Lord’s Commissioned and you can see all my reports keep saying “Praise the Lord or All Glory I received, I return back to the Lord or etc”)

v4 - I replied, “But my work seems so useless! I have spent my strength for nothing and to no purpose. Yet I leave it all in the Lord’s hand; I will trust God for my reward.” (Since I started working for the people around, it seems that I can’t stay put as my objective still uncertain even I have a MBA degree. Then I tried to start the Web education business and spent lots of effort to it in order to get funds and keep the project rolling but also failed at last. When I return back to the Lord, I start to understand the Lord has a purpose for me when I used Jabez prayer everyday and put full trust in the Lord. Whenever in the past I decided to leave it to the Lord to lead the way and just obeys Him fully).

v5 - And now the Lord speaks - the one who formed me in my mother’s womb to be his servant, who commissioned me to bring Israel back to him. The Lord has honoured me, and my God has given me strength. (When the Lord spoke the second time, the Lord said “You are given the knowledge and guidance”. Then the Lord showed me in my dream “Talk to the Tribes and they will be friendly with you”. The strength is the knowledge and guidance.)

v6 - He says, “You will do more than restore the people of Israel to me. I will make you a light to the Gentiles, and you will bring my salvation to the ends of the earth.” (During my mission in Thailand, the Lord sent me to India to share the love and joy with the people there, same go to Thailand. I received comments from people around, some said that I have full joy and love, some said that I am the light that can led them to God, some said that I am sent by God to them and etc. This is the light of God to me that I shine on them. The Lord had commissioned me to prepare the End Time Commandment to everyone as it is getting closes while bringing Tribes of Israel people back to Israel)

v7 - The Lord, the Redeemer and Holy One of Israel, says to the one who is despised and rejected by the nations, to the one who is the servant of rulers: “Kings will stand at attention when you pass by Princes will also bow low because of the Lord, the faithful one, the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you. (As a member of the church, the church also didn’t recognise my calling and denied me directly by judging me. The real servant of the Lord will know the truth. Once awhile I was walking in the street, one or two people bow down a little to me, then I smile back to them.)

Do open your heart truthfully and humbly as I pray for the Lord to touch you to recognise His Word nor mine or your word. Continue to provide you the wisdom to understand His Word and abide to His Commandment. Praise the Lord for His Glory! Amen!

Don’t stop reading, do continue to read the verse 8 onward. Within the scope, it is totally link to past, present and future ministry. If you want to look back on the mission, go to the blog/website for the information.

God Bless!
