My Testimony in CKRM by Bro Chia Chong Hon
05 Jun
Prior to attending CKRM:
I, Chia Chong Hon was born in 1966. I am currently 43 yrs old and received Christ as my saviour at the age of 30. I have a good wife and three lovely children and we live in Klang. I was in sales till I became a full-time worker in church at the age of 38. I was in-charge of leading cell groups and discipleship of new believers. I am happy with the salary offered by the church and the pastor treated me well. I am also pleased with my ministry because I led a lot of people to Christ and miracles, signs and wonder followed me. However, after a year in ministry, the inner peace and joy in my heart was suddenly gone. I prayed 3 months about it but the inner peace and joy was not restored. In order to seek the divine peace of God, I quitted my job by faith and stayed at home to wait upon God.
In the 1st year, I steadfastly prayed, read the bible, fasted and seek God. In the 2nd and 3rd year, I began to seek God in ministries such as businessman fellowship and foreign worker ministry. In the 4th year, due to disappointment with God, I became a Christian who no longer read the bible, pray, seek God or attend church as I felt that God has abandoned me. But my heart yearned for God everyday like one who yearns for a lost lover of many years.
While attending CKRM:
On 25 April 2009, through Sis. Susan, God brought me to CKRM Malacca’s leadership training camp. This is the 1st time I saw Pst. Paul and Pst. Esther’s ministry. I saw manifestations which I have never seen before (the roar of the Lion of Judah, the stone of David, the sword of the Spirit) Naturally, I doubted these manifestations and wondered if they are of the Holy Spirit but I dare not criticize the work of the Holy Spirit. That day, I didn’t receive the anointing and just returned home.
I took part in the 2-day Joshua camp on the 1st and 2nd May. More than 40 participants from Singapore came and because of their involvement, I saw even more manifestations of the Holy Spirit (Shepherd dog, carry the cross, prophesy, speaking in foreign tongues …). I still didn’t receive anything. I was thinking, if this is not of God, it will be better not to have it. But if it’s from the Holy Spirit and since He doesn’t want me to have it, there isn’t much I can do either. After lunch on the 2nd day, I sat alone at one corner. Suddenly, I was filled with the Holy Spirit and I made a soft groaning sound similar to that of a lion which spotted prey. In my heart, I wanted to roar but I didn’t dare to do so. During the last lesson, Pst. Paul asked who has received the power of God for the 1st time so I went to the front. When Pst. Paul stretched out his hands toward me, the Holy Spirit caused me to roar like a lion with all my might. In my heart, I knew God has delivered me. Thank God, those who yearn for God will not hope in vain.
After attending CKRM:
Now, I go to CKRM Malacca every Saturday to be empowered, as to prepare myself for ministry in future. What change after I attend CKRM? (Good tree bears good fruit)
1) Nowadays, I read the bible like I used to, pray and is moved by the Holy Spirit at dawn to fellowship with Him.
2) The inner peace and joy is gradually being restored unto me.
3) My faith has increased（Even if I endure another 4 years of hardship, I will still praise God, Hallelujah）
4) There is more power when I minister because the spiritual giftings and anointing I received from CKRM is still functional when I return to Klang.
