Testimony from Open Hand Christian Fellowship

Open Hand Christian Fellowship
Blk 209, New Upper Changi Road, #04-645, Singapore 460209






Pastor Christopher Krishnasamy and his wife Vijaya have ministered in our church and have also conducted a 4-day seminar on “Turning the hearts of the fathers to the children and the hearts of the children to the fathers. Mal 4:6” from 13th to 16th June 2010. It was a fruitful time of bringing our church members to a place of oneness and reconciliation.

Pastor Christopher is very much a father figure and many of our church members found him approachable and caring. Sister Vijaya is a wonderful help-mate for his ministry. He is light-hearted and jovial when not in the pulpit. He is very focused on his subject when teaching and he knows his material well.

I believe he also has the gift of mentoring and coming along-side pastors and leaders. His in-depth knowledge and understanding of those in the front line of church life can be seen in his ability to give godly counsel. It is probably because of his many years of experience in the ministry and vast interaction with different denominations.

I am delighted to know him and would not hesitate to recommend him for your fellowship or church so that you may benefit from his talents and spiritual giftings.

God's Purpose (interview with Rick Warren)

You will enjoy the new insights that Rick Warren has, with his wife now having cancer and him having 'wealth' from the book sales. This is an absolutely incredible short interview with Rick Warren,'Purpose Driven Life ' author and pastor of Saddleback Church in California.

In the interview by Paul Bradshaw with Rick Warren, Rick said:
People ask me, What is the purpose of life?
And I respond: In a nutshell, life is preparation for eternity. We were not made to last forever, and God wants us to be with Him in Heaven.
One day my heart is going to stop, and that will be the end of my body-- but not the end of me.
I may live 60 to 100 years on earth, but I am going to spend trillions of years in eternity. This is the warm-up act - the dress rehearsal. God wants us to practice on earth what we will do forever in eternity..
We were made by God and for God, and until you figure that out, life isn't going to make sense.
Life is a series of problems: Either you are in one now, you're just coming out of one, or you're getting ready to go into another one.
The reason for this is that God is more interested in your character than your comfort; God is more interested in making your life holy than He is in making your life happy.
We can be reasonably happy here on earth, but that's not the goal of life. The goal is to grow in character, in Christ likeness.
This past year has been the greatest year of my life but also the toughest, with my wife, Kay, getting cancer.
I used to think that life was hills and valleys - you go through a dark time, then you go to the mountaintop, back and forth. I don't believe that anymore.
Rather than life being hills and valleys, I believe that it's kind of like two rails on a railroad track, and at all times you have something good and something bad in your life.
No matter how good things are in your life, there is always something bad that needs to be worked on.
And no matter how bad things are in your life, there is always something good you can thank God for.
You can focus on your purposes, or you can focus on your problems:
If you focus on your problems, you're going into self-centeredness, which is my problem, my issues, my pain.' But one of the easiest ways to get rid of pain is to get your focus off yourself and onto God and others.
We discovered quickly that in spite of the prayers of hundreds of thousands of people, God was not going to heal Kay or make it easy for her- It has been very difficult for her, and yet God has strengthened her character, given her a ministry of helping other people, given her a testimony, drawn her closer to Him and to people.
You have to learn to deal with both the good and the bad of life.
Actually, sometimes learning to deal with the good is harder. For instance, this past year, all of a sudden, when the book sold 15 million copies, it made me instantly very wealthy.
It also brought a lot of notoriety that I had never had to deal with before. I don't think God gives you money or notoriety for your own ego or for you to live a life of ease.
So I began to ask God what He wanted me to do with this money, notoriety and influence. He gave me two different passages that helped me decide what to do, II Corinthians 9 and Psalm 72.
First, in spite of all the money coming in, we would not change our lifestyle one bit.. We made no major purchases.
Second, about midway through last year, I stopped taking a salary from the church.
Third, we set up foundations to fund an initiative we call The Peace Plan to plant churches, equip leaders, assist the poor, care for the sick, and educate the next generation.
Fourth, I added up all that the church had paid me in the 24 years since I started the church, and I gave it all back. It was liberating to be able to serve God for free.
We need to ask ourselves: Am I going to live for possessions? Popularity?
Am I going to be driven by pressures? Guilt? Bitterness? Materialism? Or am I going to be driven by God's purposes (for my life)?
When I get up in the morning, I sit on the side of my bed and say, God, if I don't get anything else done today, I want to know You more and love You better. God didn't put me on earth just to fulfill a to-do list. He's more interested in what I am than what I do.
That's why we're called human beings, not human doings.

Happy moments, PRAISE GOD.
Difficult moments, SEEK GOD.
Quiet moments, WORSHIP GOD.
Painful moments, TRUST GOD.
Every moment, THANK GOD..


If you do not pass it on, nothing will happen. But it will just be nice to pass it on to a friend....just like I have done.
God's Blessings




When He gets to your PC, escort Him to the next stop. Please don't allow Him to sleep on your PC. The message He is carrying is very important and needs to go round. May God bless you as you do this- AMEN.

Testimony of others about Pr Christopher K

Pastor Christopher,
Greetings. I trust all is well with you and Vijaya. I have been meaning to call you for awhile but could not find a time convenient to both of us. The prophecy you made over our lives on your trip here in 2005 has been fulfilled again. Angela gave birth to a beautiful little girl on Monday 22nd at 12:02pm weighing lbs. 15 1/2 ounces (2.7kg). Both mother and child are doing well.

We were neither cast down or destroyed after the death of our son Matthew last year. As far as we were concerned, God did deliver on His promise to us then, despite the outcome. God's words through you were, "He will give you a child by this time next year (2006)", and He did. He did not say how long we would have the child! We have been really encouraged by what He has started and will ultimately complete in us. The experience of last year has been pivotal to us, we have grown leaps and bound in our knowledge and understanding of God. We are stronger and more sold out for God now than at any other point in our lives. Continue to speak with boldness and confidence as the spirit of God gives you utterance.

Please continue to pray for us.
God bless,
Clive

ZOE MINISTRIES - MALAYSIA
For equipping of the saints for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ. (Ephesians 4: 12 NKJV)
Ps Christopher K and Vijaya are really such a great blessing for me, my family and ministry. They are my spiritual parents. I met Ps Chris when I was a Discipleship Training School student (One of "Youth With A Mission"/YWAM School) in Jakarta – Indonesia in 1995. He taught us on Holy Spirit topics, he is not only teaching us knowledge but we also experience God. He is a different lecturer, he is not only a good preacher but he also gives us the example from his own life. He is a man of faith.
Now he is going around the world to equipping the leaders of the church, so they can also equipping the saints for the work of the ministry. He believes that all the leaders must disciple all the saints. The church must be a positive impact for their villages, cities and nation.
I can’t give him money or valuable jewelry but what I can do is to make this blog for him, as a gift to a person that always encourage, be a living example and believe in me to move in the Lord, Jesus Christ.
