I have always celebrated my spiritual birthday more than the day I was born. And also the day when I entered full-time ministry on 1st Dec 1994. These two dates mark two most significant events, the first my spiritual rebirth being found by Christ, dead in sin, now forgiven and raised to new life in Him. The second is equally important as it was the day I obeyed the Lord’s call to commit my life to Him in full-time ministry. After nearly 31 years I have not looked back.
In the past fortnight many things had happened, all for good in God working out His purposes in my life and ministry. It is ironic as the greater the opposition, the greater my conviction that God has in store for me something great beyond what I know, hence the call to faith and trust in a God who is not ashamed to be called the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
On Sunday I started weeping several times over the course of the first song for a long 12 minutes. I saw multiple visions, one which has a canvas across the sky stating “God of Tony Siew” and I trust that God is not ashamed to be called by my name, a name given to me before my mother conceived me.
What I struggle with is human treachery. It is as if they just wipe their mouths and say I have not eaten. It is worse than Pilate washing his hands off Jesus claiming innocence when he could have set Jesus free. He preferred his own position (threathened by the chief priests who were going to report him to Caesar) to doing justice by Christ.
It is the same today as long as people’s position is not threathened, they would pretend a smile but once they perceive that they would be challenged and lose honour (worldly honours) they bare their teeth. Worse still having bared their teeth they now having obtained what they wanted pretend they are like angels, gentle and loving and friendly as before. These are people who pollute themselves over and over again and their claim to repentance and faith is false as their duplicity.
