From the Desk of the Founder & Principal Rev Steven Francis Steven and Angeline Francis

Dear Partners and Friends of Rivers, My wife and I, together with our ministry team greet you in Jesus Name. By the grace of God, we have made a powerful impact for the extension of the kingdom. We had a fruitful harvest because of your prayers and financial support.

1 John 1:3 (AMP), “What we have seen and [ourselves] heard, we are also telling you, so that you too may realize and enjoy fellowship as partners and partakers with us. And [this] fellowship that we have [which is a distinguishing mark of Christians] is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ (the Messiah).

This is the year of covenant, the Lord’s blessings are upon us to walk under the shadow of His wings. I thank the Lord for an excellent team that walks with the Lord and follow His biddings in obedience, keeping in step with the Spirit.

This year, through the leading of the Spirit, our ministry was involved in many other ministries in different nations to train the people of God in the prophetic ministry. Many people testified of the power of God present to touch them.

New prophetic training initiatives have been taken and implemented to enhance the empowerment of believers in different nations of the world.

The Lord opened doors to minister together with Sadhu Sundar Selvaraj in their First Eagle’s Nest School of Prophets and the Last Days Conference in Singapore. This prophetic partnership has strengthened our position in Christ. The Lord Jesus also brought many men and women of God to minister in Jesus My King Church and College of Prophets.

We have also completed the School of Prophets Distance Education Video Program. We are planning to establish training centers in Malaysia, Philippines, and Thailand to establish the saints in the Word and train them in the Spirit.

I am so excited to announce to you that the Lord spoke to me about the change of College of Prophets logo with the seal of a lion. The Lord said, “My prophetic company will carry the seal of a lion.” Accordingly the new logo will be used in 2017 to 8th Batch, Diploma Program of College of Prophets. The Lord also released me to conduct a Three Days Intensive School of Prophets (SOP) Program in Philippines.

At the time of this publication of Harvest Glory, I will be in Bangkok, Thailand with Ps Melvyn David to teach and train the pastors.

This year, Warriors Training Camp, a prophetic revival meeting crossed 10 years in serving the Lord. Only through the Lord’s grace and command, I am enabled to keep up with the demands of a growing ministry with the support of my family and ministry team.

I feel a strong sense of expansion in my heart to carry a stronger anointing according to Isaiah 54:2, “Enlarge the place of your tent, and let the curtains of your habitations be stretched out; do not hold back; lengthen your cords and strengthen your stakes.” The Lord is expanding His path, grace and anointing.

Together with my wife Angeline and the leadership team, we covet the strength of your prayers and continual financial support to be able to finish the task given by the Lord. The new revise edition of my book, The Prophets was released and in 2017, The Fragrance Plus Anointing will be released.

Whenever possible, my wife and I loved to ride our bike to Malaysia for all ministry trips and serve the Lord with Speed and Style! Next year 2017, we are going to go stronger in the Spirit through prayer! Run with us.

I give glory to God alone.

Ps Steven & Angeline with Rivers’ Missions Fellowship, Kluang, Malaysia.

COVENANTED FAVOUR FOR COVENANTED PEOPLE I

greet you in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge of the kingdom (Col. 2:3).

Indeed, this year has seen some new challenges which the Lord has already revealed through prophecy.

A Year of Covenanted Favour From the beginning of the

Bible story, God made covenants with His people. A covenant legally binds two parties into an agreement. God made a covenant with Noah (Gen. 9:8-17) that He will never again destroy earth with a flood. Till now, God upholds the covenant.

This covenant language is a language of heaven taught to man by God. The very first mention of the word ‘covenant’ is in Genesis 6:18, when God told Noah that He will establish a covenant with him. This covenant is a reminder to both parties not only of the promise but also of the obligations that bind the covenant to become

4

active and binding. God made many covenants with His people (Gen. 17:2; Deut. 4:13; Josh 7:11).

The famous covenant, which transposes into the New Testament is the covenant God made with Abram (Gen 15:18) while he was still in his old name. After Abram had a powerful trance encounter with God, after many years, the Lord again made another covenant in Genesis 17:2. This time the requirement of the covenant was made simple and clear, “Walk before me and be blameless.”

This covenantal blessing of Abraham is given over to the lineage of faith, the children of Abraham, which speaks of us (Gal. 3:7). This new covenant, a better one with better promises is made effective by the precious blood of Jesus (Heb. 8:3-12; 9:1-28). The circumcision of the flesh, a sign of covenant is no longer a necessary component of the New Covenant believers but Paul imposes the circumcision of the heart by the Spirit as a must (Rom. 2:29; 4:24).

2016 HARVEST GLORY | COVENANTED FAVOUR FOR COVENANTED PEOPLE

Covenant Blessings Consecrated to God's will and His ways My wife and I fasted for fourteen days from Dec 26th 2015 to January 8th 2016 as we waited before the Lord for His word and directions for our lives and ministry. It always has been a time of powerful encounters with God. The prophecies the Lord gave me were preached in Jesus My King Church seven days of fasting from January 1st to 7th 2016. You can order these prophetic teachings, packaged in a USB titled, “A Year of Covenanted Favour,” from our office.

Many want the Lord to fulfill His covenant blessings upon us without considering the requirements of the covenant. In Galatians 3:14, the Bible says, “in Christ Jesus the blessings of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we might receive the promised Spirit through faith.” The Holy Spirit now then teaches us how to appropriate the covenantal blessings

given to the father of faith, Abraham.

The New Covenant based on the blood of Christ gives the clearance to access the inheritance and blessings but obedience to the laws of Christ opens the gateway of appropriation into your personal life.

This is why many believers pray for the blessings of Abraham, especially prosperity but are not able to experience prosperity in their daily lives when they ignore the requirements of obedience to the law of Christ (1 Cor. 9:21).

Though I will not be able to write in detail about this subject, I want to briefly share with you what the Lord spoke to me during the times of fasting and prayer.

Covenantal Requirement - The Laws of God In You In Hebrews 10:19-25, we are exhorted to draw near to God with confidence by the blood of Jesus.” A new special door of revelation in heaven is opened to all those who will seek Him. Desire the Lord and hunger after His righteousness.

The Lord promised, “I will put My laws into their hearts and in their minds I will write them” (Heb. 10:16). This door is NEW and LIVING (Heb. 10:20). This is the time to reconnect your life back to God to have a fresh experience with Jesus. Regardless of what has happened in your life, it is time to start anew. Your prayer life must be a living and active relationship, not a stagnated pool.

Come with boldness to enter the Holy places, stay not outside the courtyard.

Imagine this – when you stand at the Guest Relations counter, where they tell you where you will be seated for the wedding invitation; in the Lord’s invitation you are to go straight to the Holy Places. In the tabernacle, the Holy Places are known as the Holy Place where the Levites on duty will be there to maintain the furniture as well as the Most Holy Place where the Ark of the Covenant is, only the High Priest is permitted to enter once a year.

The Lord is inviting us to enter in His place with boldness to minister to Him, worship and fellowship with Him. What a privilege! It is time for us to honor the Lord with our time.

I have seen many in the end days of their life, begging God for more time as an extension to serve Him. My precious beloved, now the time is in your hands. Make a godly choice to surrender your time while there is time in your hands. We are not a slave to anyone or anything. However Jesus said, “where your treasure is, there is your heart also (Matt. 6:21).”

In an age of instant gratification of success, the saints of God are loosing the art of perseverance in serving God and enduring the challenge of godliness in a paganistic world. We give up easily in the things pertaining to God. We get easily discourage and ransom God in exchange for His blessings.

On December 29th 2015 at four in the morning, the Lord spoke to me that “The times of trouble is coming on earth. Many will panic. Many will cry and run to and fro. But they that know their God will run to Him and escape.”

The Endurance of Walk in the Favor of Champions God's Covenant Hebrew 10:36, “For you have need of The Bible says that Noah found favor steadfast patience and endurance, so that you may perform and fully accomplish the will of God, and thus receive and carry away [and enjoy to the full] what is promised” (AMP).

We are standing in the threshold of the last minutes of the last hour of the calendar of God. We need to persevere in the work, which God has given to us.

The devil is trying his best with his best weapons of deception and trickery to tempt the saints to fall into sin. One of the Satan’s favorite weapons is discouragement - to give up on the ministry when the harvest becomes difficult. Persevere saints.

The Straits Times reported of the Bronze Medal win of Theresa Goh who participated in the 2016 Paralympic Games, 100 metres breaststroke swimming event in Rio, Brazil. The 29 year old, who was born with spina bifida and paralysed waist down overcame all discouragement of not getting a medal for four straight Paralympics.

The reporter noted, “The bronze was sweet reward for Goh’s indefatigable persistence.” Goh’s fellow swimmer Yip commented, “You are now a Paralympic medalist after 17 years of training and perseverance. Nobody knows our journey like us.”

1 Chew, John. "At Last, Goh Wins Elusive Medal." The Straits Times (Singapore), September 13, 2016.

with God (Gen. 6:8). Then the Lord made a covenant with Noah. Favor releases covenant blessings. Favor is the result of obedience.

1 John 2:24, As for you, keep in your hearts what you have heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the first dwells and remains in you, then you will dwell in the Son and in the Father [always] (AMP).

Abide in the Word and prayer. The abiding releases the manifest presence of Jesus in your life. When you walk in the covenanted favor of God, the devil cannot touch. You will walk in the protection of the glory of God. May the Lord guide in this season as you seek the Lord. Perhaps you are not sure of how to know the will of God for your life. Can I encourage you to sign up for the College of Prophets, a 8 months diploma program that will ground you in the Word and the Spirit.

May the Lord strengthen you with His goodness and grace to bless you to pursue Him and fulfill His will for your life.

Sri Lanka 29 April to 1 May 2016 --------------------Ps Steven Francis

B

y the grace of God, the Lord connected Sis Shirani Wikaramanayake from Sri Lanka to us through the National Prophets Convention in Singapore. Though she had invited us for the past four years, Ps Steven Francis did not feel in his heart that it was time to go.

In February 2016, through a word of prophecy, the Lord confirmed again that it was the right time to visit and minister in Sri Lanka. Sis. Shirani also received a similar Word from the Lord. As an introductory meeting, a Pastors and Youth Seminar was arranged in the city on April 29 to May 1st 2016. Ps Steven and his wife Angeline went to Colombo, Sri Lanka for these meetings.

More than 70 pastors from the different regions and denominations came for the Pastors Seminar.

The Lord showed many things through visions and revelations about the condition of the church, the people, the ministers, and the nation.

During the prophetic prayer, many pastors were touched by the power of God. The youth meeting was small, yet the presence of God was evident when Ps Steven Francis ministered to them through the Word of God and prophecy.

Some testimonies about these meetings...

Sudesh - - - - - - - - - When considering the time of ministry by Ps. Steven Francis last Saturday, what came to my mind was the scripture in Acts 4:13.

Although it was my first time listening to this man of God, it didn’t require much convincing to agree that Ps. Steven Francis has been with Jesus. Indeed he has been in the closet with Jesus long enough before he stood before us to share the message from the Lord. The words that came out from his mouth were straight from the throne room of God. There is no doubt that he came by divine appointment.

Particularly, to share some feedback of the message itself, what stood out for me was Ps. Francis’ genuine interest to get the attention of the audience anchored in the Word of God as the basis for the message delivered rather than solely establishing it on a word of prophecy.

While I myself am a believer in the prophetic and gifts of the Spirit, this approach of Ps. Francis touched my heart. He is someone who runs the academy of prophet programs and operates in the prophetic anointing as well as being well rooted and grounded in the Eternal Prophecy found in the word of God that never fails.

Individually, as someone who is burdened with the passion to see the nation of Sri Lanka enter into her God-given destiny, I was quite keen to know the message for the season and was inquisitive about the credibility of the messenger. The message for the nation was timely and spot on. I have no doubt that anyone who is tuned with the affairs of the nation and has the spirit of discernment will agree that the Lord spoke and rekindled the fire within us to once again declare and decree with boldness the rule & reign of our God upon our beloved nation. The message did not stop at exposing the strategy of the kingdom of darkness within the country, but gave hope and reassurance of the imminent victory as we declare what the Lord has promised to his people.

As for the messenger, the simplicity and humility with which the message was delivered is a reflection of the pure intentions and purpose of Ps. Francis coming to Sri Lanka. Ps. Francis did not try to show off his knowledge, experience or connections. Personally, I saw him as someone who is least interested in promoting himself, building a reputation or getting himself invited again for the extension of his ministry. What got my attention is his deep desire to ONLY do what Father God wants him to do - regardless of how insignificant or overshadowed the task is in the eyes of the world. Considering the fact that this is Ps. Francis’ first visit to the island for ministry, it is a much admired characteristic of a man of God.

ADVENTURES Pastor S. Gnana Shanthan - - - -

National Director for Hope for the Heart North Sri Lanka In the last two months, I experienced hard times in my ministry work because of jealous people around me that were pulling me down.

However, when this man of God, Ps Steven Francis told me not to listen to what people say and to focus and believe in God, it really encouraged me.

The man of God confirmed to me that when we have the Vision for HIS kingdom, HE will provide, and that really encouraged me. The man of God encouraged me when he said that God will bless us in our country and we no longer need to look for the support of western countries. That which I believe in my heart, the man of God double confirmed. I am encouraged to do more of HIS kingdom in our country. Ps Steven Francis said “Bigness” is NOT the word we need, we need the word “Faithfulness”.

With Dr Ajith Fernando

I have attended many conferences and seminars before, but this man of God spoke straight to our hearts and encouraged us through HIS word and helped us to change our thinking and style of ministry and taught us the truth. He didn’t pamper us, which I really liked.

Sis Shirani W. - - - - - - - - - -

DIRECTOR, Prayer for Peace Ministries, Sri Lanka Dear Ps Steven, We are blessed that He sent you. Though we met many years ago, 2016 had been the year that the LORD had chosen. I prayed much and made plans according to what the Lord has shown me. I arranged for a round table meeting for selected invitees only. I felt strange as I had never done this before but I obeyed the Lord.

Everyone, young and older pastors, and youths whom I had invited was ministered by the Lord. I prayed fervently that the Lord would bless my country Sri Lanka and hearing your message repeatedly confirms my prayer. I can only say that God is faithful! Now we have a direction, a plan to follow, and a goal to reach.

Thank you for being obedient to the Word that you heard from the Lord and for carrying and delivering it to us. I bow my head as I am humbled to have felt the greatness of our GOD. Thank you for speaking to the heart of the body of Christ. Having been able to bring in Pastors from all parts of Sri Lanka was a blessing in itself.

west bengal & chennai, INDIA

17 to 25 july 2016 --------------------------By William Melvyn David, Assoc. Pastor, Rivers of Life Ministries, Singapore

To Him alone be all the glory, honour and power!

It was truly an adventurous mission trip to West Bengal, Bagdogra, Darjeeling & Chennai.

Every day was a great challenge, looking at the hunger and the people’s desire for God enabled me to pursue further to be a blessing and to serve them more. I must take this time to thank Apostle Rikash Pradhan for who organized all the meetings and brought me around to all his outreach work among the poor and needy especially those in the tea plantation areas.

I was so touched when I came to know that he gave me his room to stay in Mount Zion School, which he owned, while he and his family stayed in one of the classrooms. Every few hours, the electricity would get tripped and there would be no heater for bath. I would also see all kinds of insects flying everywhere. There were cows and goats in front of the school and pigs at the back yard. Everyday in this trip, I had to travel by a motorcycle for 2-3 hours ride on muddy slums, humpy roads, hills, and shaky bridges. There were times that I had walk across the river as there were no bridges built to go and minister to the tree plantation workers. I saw dead corpses that floated down the river twice.

All these didn’t matter to me, because I saw how God moved powerfully among the people during all the meetings. There were 4-5 meetings arranged for me daily and I couldn’t help because God had sent me here to minister to them. There were times that I would have to minister during heavy rain and fully soaked. I will simply continue to minister with great compassion. In fact, every meeting was a learning experience to know the love of God for His people. God healed and touched all who came for the meetings. All were touched by the power of God. I also visited some of the villages that were swept away by the great floods and ministered to them.

2016 HARVEST GLORY | COVENANTED FAVOUR FOR COVENANTED PEOPLE

During one of the days, we were endangered with a landslide after a ministry from Pasupatinagar and a mountain near Mirik, but God protected us. After that, we had to rush for another meeting in Lohargha in the evening. It was nearly a 2 hour ride in the jungle road and I didn’t know that I had to cross over a muddy river with strong current and a lot of sharp stones. In Lohargha, we had a few house visitations and prayer meetings. Some who had had chicken pox, jaundice and tuberculosis were healed. I was so touched when the leader gave me a bag of the first-fruits of the tea harvest and when he said : “Pastor, like the bible say silver and gold have I none, only this we have to bless you”. Tears ran down my eyes as I learned from the people there that the first fruit of harvest only comes after 3 years of nurturing and farming it well. Once the rest saw that I received it, everyone ran to their houses and brought me some of their first fruit.

My heart was so overwhelmed with their love.

After I left the plantation, it was raining heavily and I was drenched. There were no street lights at all and then I remembered that I had to cross over the river again in the dark. When I came to the river, the Holy Spirit reminded me of the LED light in my bag that He told me to bring in this journey. Holding the light, I was able to cross to the other side. The moment I reached to the other side, pigs in the bushes made noises and I managed to walk to the motorbike and continued on our journey. While on the road, the pastor told me to pray because of the many burglars on the jungle path. It was raining heavily. I prayed, and I saw a military truck that appeared behind our motorbike on the jungle path. I heard the voice of the Holy Spirit that the vehicle was sent to protect us. I was in the midst of thanking God and the military truck overtook us and went fast ahead in front. I was wondering, Lord what happened? After a distance, we saw the military truck stop at the side and we found out that the military officers caught all the burglars that day. They were just 3km ahead of us. The pastor who drove me said it’s very unusual for the military truck to be on

that path at that hour and we truly praise God for His divine protection and we rushed to another prayer meeting at a new outreach work started by his wife. The meeting was powerful and I could never forget preaching soaking wet with so much of experiences within a day.

The next day was a parent teachers meeting in the school.

I had to challenge all the parents and villagers on the importance of education and encourage them to send their children to school. The education district head and all the senior officers were there too. I truly thank God that He took control and I spoke remarkably well and was praised by many.

In Chennai, South India, it was a time of catching up with some pastor friends and rebuilding strong relationships with the pastors. I was surprised by the way God connected and opened doors of opportunity for ministry. My dear friend and brother Bishop Kingsly invited me to minister in his father’s first pioneered Church. It was truly an honour and privilege to have ministered in Pastor John Lazarus’s Church.

The Holy Spirit spoke strongly into every heart that came. I was blessed to minister there and the fresh fire of God came upon everyone to revive and rebuild the House of God towards their 50th anniversary in 2017.

I truly praise and give all the glory, honour and power to HIS Holy Name!

SPECIAL

WITH JESUS MINISTRIES

INDIA YOUTH CONFERENCE Chennai, South India 25-28 May 2016 ------------------------

Speakers: Sadhu Sundar Selvaraj and Ps. Steven Francis

T

he Lord has commissioned Sadhu Sundar Selvaraj to raise an army of youths for this end times. Brother Sadhu has been conducting youth meetings for more than 25 years in India.

Thousands have been set free, filled with the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and the legacy of the youth camps are continued by the second generation of leaders in India.

On the other hand, Ps Steven Francis has ministered in youth conferences for the past 25 years from India, Malaysia, and Australia. In 2004, the Lord spoke to Ps Steven Francis specifically to conduct Youth Camps to raise the army for the Lord. Similarly many youth conferences were conducted in India, Indonesia, Philippines and Malaysia.

The Lord brought both of them together in this meeting to minister. Under the spiritual guidance of Sadhu, Ps Steven grew up in a prophetic mantle over his life. Ps Steven said, “When you are brought up by a prophet, you will certainly become a son of the prophet, minister and flow in the prophet’s stream.”

The Presence of God was electrifying in the Youth Conference.

In each of the session, the Lord Jesus would come and show many events that are about to happen. Though the external temperature was almost at 38° C (100° F), the fire of the Holy Spirit burnt hotter to satisfy the thirsty hearts of the youths. Many decided to skip their lunch to wait before the Lord and pray.

We thank the Lord for His bountiful mercies and heavenly visitations in the meetings. Many were healed and delivered by the power of God.

EAGLE’S NEST

SCHOOL OF PROPHETS Chennai, South India 18 to 25 july 2016 ---------------------

P

s Steven Francis ministered in the first Eagle’s Nest School of Prophets conducted by Sadhu Sundar Selvaraj, which brought 110 participants from 12 nations.

From the first day of the School, Ps Steven Francis had heavenly encounters and visitations that took place up till the last day of the school. Many had similar godly encounters as the participants fasted and prayed before the Lord.

The instructors for this school were Sadhu Sundar Selvaraj (Principal Instructor, India), Bishop Aruldass (India) and Rev. Steven Francis (Singapore). The power of God was present as the instructors taught with revelation and power. A powerful visitation of God graced every session as each instructor led in prayer.

Ps Steven Francis taught on “Grooming the Soul for Prophetic Development.” Many of the students testified that they did not consider the importance of the soul in spiritual development.

In one of the sessions, the Lord showed a vision to Ps Steven Francis to pray for Sadhu Sundar Selvaraj the same way Moses was supported by Aaron and Joshua. The leaders of the ministry included Ps Rajan John and many leaders who prayed and travail with tears during this powerful time of unity.

All glory to God for the launch of the School of Prophets and our prayer is that God will continue to use Sadhu Sundar Selvaraj to impart and teach the younger generation of prophets.

016 was truly a season of new beginnings for me. I sincerely want to give all the Glory, Honour, Power & Praise to God alone. I would like to thank Rivers of Life Ministries, Jesus My King Church and Pastor Steven Francis for the empowerment and to entrust me in launching out towards the overseas mission works. I would also like to thank God for my spiritual father Dr. N.Suppaya who has gone to be with the Lord, for all the 25 years of preparation, impartation and equipping in me for this soaring season.

March 2016 was not only a spirit breakout transformation time of the Churches in Taipei & Taichung but to myself as well. It was truly a season of release and breaking out as this was the first trip I have ever travelled

alone. I am truly very grateful to Pastor Steven for all the support and encouragement. I am also thankful to Pas. Miracle & Sis.Chelsea for organizing all the meetings in Taichung, Luchang & Taipei without knowing much about me. I was told by the team there that they were praying since early January for a spiritual breakthrough and once Pastor Steven sent them my details, they knew immediately it was God’s answer to their prayers.

dreams, angels were sent to assist me to defeat the enemies. During my time of preparation with fasting and prayer for the trips, the Holy Spirit would guide, build and prepare me to be strong in the Spirit and to be sensitive to His voice. The Lord revealed every single details about the meetings to me by revelation during my personal prayer. It was a total adventure journey for me as I was totally trusting and depending on Him for everything.

In Singapore, even before going to the trip, I had so many spiritual encounters with God and warfare dreams that involved 5 territorial demonic strongholds in different areas in Taiwan. I understood the dream when I saw the demons and their works during my first mission trip there. In my

On my first day meeting in Taichung, there were 3 services on The Resurrection Sunday. I still remember the moment I went up to the stage to take the microphone at 10 am, I felt a strong portion of God’s fresh anointing of the Holy Spirit which came upon me.

I sensed the strong presence of the Holy

Spirit standing by my side and He taught me how to conduct the meetings. After the first meeting was over, I received a call from Singapore informing that my spiritual father whom I loved so much had gone home to be with the Lord around the same time when I felt the strong outpouring on me. I truly thank God for all that he has sown into my life.

I still remember it was like a horn of oil being poured on me and I was on fire.

Wherever I ran the fire would spread.

Since that moment, the visitation of God in every meeting resulted with extraordinary healings, deliverances and miracles. Many people with sicknesses were healed. Some who had blurred vision were restored with sight. Some with kidney issues, asthma and diabetes were healed. There were elderly people with skin problems that were healed and many demons fled. There was a 80 year old woman who had a big tumour on her back for many years. After praying for her, she

complaint that it was itching. I told her to rub some oil and to go home and sleep, trusting God for a miracle.

The next morning, when her husband woke her up, her mattress was full of blood. To his surprise she woke up without any pain, and he found out that the tumour on her back had burst.

She was rushed to the hospital and the specialist surgeon confirmed that the tumour had dropped out completely as though she went for a surgery. It was truly a miracle. All glory to God. From that day onwards, the Church organized meetings daily and it was jammed packed with crowd. All those who got healed brought more people daily for the meetings. I also prayed for a few people who had cancer and there was a woman particularly who had severe bone cancer with multiple body conditions and skin deterioration. The family invited me to come and bless their house as they felt that it was a generational curse.

The next day, I went to the woman’s house with the pastor. The moment I arrived at the entrance of the house, I recognized the house. It was the same house I saw in my dream. Before they showed me around, I told them that I knew the house and the issues about it. I prayed and did a cleansing for the house. The Holy Spirit told me exactly where the witchcraft bundle was kept.

It was in the kitchen. The moment I took it and burn it, there was a loud scream that came from the house.

The woman’s condition immediately improved and everyone could feel the peace of God in the house. All glory to God! Since then, there were souls that were added to the Church daily. There was so many other extraordinary healings and deliverances that took place in Taichung & Luchang. I was not able to comprehend all the amazing things that God had done.

In Taipei, God surprised me with a lot of things. All the meetings were full of breakthroughs, healings and deliverances. The presence of God would come so powerfully and I would not be able to stand still. It was as though I could feel the fire wherever I stood and went. The voice of the Holy Spirit would be crystal clear to me and God used me strong prophetically. The Korean Pastor who rented the venue for our team were so blessed that he told his entire Church to join in for all the meetings. God did a great restoration work in the Church. The visitation of God in every single meeting resulted in astounding healings, deliverances and miracles. There were so many healing testimonies. A few sisters who were having visual problems were totally healed. There were 2 with spinal injury who were healed, 2 cancer patients who were emotionally healed, marriages were restored, and there were people who came by wheelchairs and walking sticks and went home walking. Many more were touched by the power of God in an unexplainable manner. It was totally new to me as well. I was totally consecrated and submitted to all HIS leading and doings.

On the third day, while I was preaching about the woman with the issue of blood (Luke 8:8:43-48), I was led to challenge the congregation that “If only you would touch the hem of HIS garment today” by showing them my prayer tallit, “you will be healed”. In the midst of the entire scenario, suddenly, this 86 year old woman just stood up from her wheelchair and she shook terribly and salivated. I just told them to carry her to the front and we prayed for her as a Church. The Holy Spirit told me to anoint her joints and continue to pray. As we prayed, I told the woman to lift up her hands and look up at Jesus.

were around 100 leaders gathered in the day sessions and more than 200 people for the night meetings. Every day, the Holy Spirit would fill them with fresh new oil. We had tremendous breakthroughs among all the Taichung city pastors and among all the other denomination Churches. The last 3 days were so powerful, the presence of the Holy Spirit came so strongly and all went under the power of God, even all the pastors who came were filled with a fresh fire and a new mandate for their ministries. At the end of the meeting, on the last day, I lifted my hands and praised God for all HIS mighty works. I felt Jesus smiling at me.

The moment she forced herself to look up, she automatically lifted up her hands. I told her to hold my hands and walk, looking at Jesus and she began to walk for the first time in 12 years. I told her to push away her wheelchair that were pushing her all these 12 years. The entire Church was on fire, many new souls, backsliders and all those who were in need flooded the last 2 days’ meetings. I prayed and prophesied to the entire leadership and pastors who came and there was a strong awe of HIS presence.

The voice of the Holy Spirit came strongly upon me to prophesy to everyone there and to those of you who are reading it now that “If only you would allow God to use you as HIS vessel, you too will experience the same and even greater anointing in your life”. I plead to all of you today, to seek HIM like never before, to grip unto HIM in the midst of a great storm, allow HIM to mould and shape you till you become HIS vessel to touch and transform all the lives around you.

GOD Bless You Abundantly!

There was this woman who was 86 over years old. She was a mother of 2 intercessors in the Church. She was suffering from stage 4 Parkinson disease and had all kinds of health

RIVERS’ Mission House

Kluang, MALAYSIA 17th June 2016 ---------------Meagan Peh

O

n the 17th June 2016, a team from Jesus My King Church led by Pastor Steven went to Kluang, Malaysia for the dedication service of the mission house, which the Lord has graciously granted and strategically placed in the city of Kluang. It is a house of prayer, worship and a place where the Glory of God will dwell. It is a place where people will be trained and ministered, and will in turn train and minister others, as well as a place to house missionaries who will be sent by God to minister there.

We had a wonderful time of worship, dedication, prayer and fellowship with our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. During the dedication service, the Lord revealed to us that the mission house would be a training ground that will be saturated with the Presence of God and that everyone who steps into this place will never leave unchanged. It is a Holy place set apart for the Glory of God where the Glory, Power, Righteousness, Wisdom and Love of the Lord Jesus Christ will be greatly manifested. We all strongly felt the Presence and Peace of God while we were there and we know that the Lord is going to do mighty, glorious and supernatural things in this place!

We would also like to give our heartfelt thanks to our lovely hosts Brother George, Brother Guna, Brother John and their wives, as well as Sister Vas, the owner of the place, for all their hospitality, generosity and love that they have shown to us. May the Lord continue to bless you all as you continue to serve the Lord and be a blessing to many! We thank the Lord for this opportunity and all the Glory, Honor and Praise be unto God!

the philippines 11 to 25 april 2016 -----------------------By Emmanuel Ghazaly Our amazing media crew!

T

his mission trip to the Philippines was certainly an enriching experience for me as it was my first time on the mission field.

Much was learnt in the Diploma and Advanced Diploma at the College of Prophets (COP) and it was now an opportunity to have a taste of ministry on actual ground. Ps. Melvyn and I had departed earlier to ensure that all the preparation was done for our 1st School of Prophets. As we were early, Ps. Omega told Ps. Melvyn to minister in his Church. It was the first time I witnessed how to wait upon the Lord for the Word to be shared. When Ps. Melvyn shared and gave the altar call, many people went under the power of God and the Fire of God came in a powerful manner. He taught me how we can all become HIS vessel when we make ourselves available to be use

by God. That moment changed the way I had been thinking all this while - our God is certainly a living God who is willing to speak to us at any point in time. We just need to tune in to the same frequency that He is speaking and we will hear from the Holy Spirit!

Rev Dr Steven Francis Rev Steven Francis

After service, another learning opportunity came along. Ps. Omega requested us to minister in a small Bible Study at a nearby village called Kelintas, we set off using a tricycle to a dilapidated house at the top of the hill. The owner of the house was a lady with many young children who had agreed to host us for the Bible Study session that afternoon. The whole stretch was full of run down houses and chicken farms. Though most of them who attended the Bible study was poor, they were certainly rich at heart as each one of them welcomed us and was eager to hear the Word of God. Bro. Ian (Adrian) led worship and translated the message from English to Tagalog. Ps. Melvyn told me to minister first and then later he concluded the Word and challenge the people to commit their life to Jesus. As we were about to board the tricycle back to our place of residence, the Holy Spirit spoke to Ps. Melvyn to tell the owner of the house that because she was faithful and obedient in opening up her home for Bible study, there shall be no lack henceforth for her and her family. She was exhilarated by what she was being told.

How amazing is that? This happened just because she allowed God to use her. Her house didn’t even have any form of flooring yet she was not ashamed to open up her home for the Lord.

Then came the day that we were waiting for, River of Life Ministries 1st School of Prophets in Philippines.

Our media team arrived early to setup the conference room. The three days intensive prophetic training entitled ‘Speed & Strength’ was truly amazing and full of breakthroughs. It was attended by around 90 over pastors, leaders and even few Bishops. This course was tailored for a more spiritually mature targeted audience by our distinguished speakers; Rev. Steven Francis, Bishop Art Jornales, Dr. Rosalie Ojeda, Pastor Omega Clyde, Ps Melvyn David , Bro. James Diamante and our special guest speaker from Oakland, USA, Ps William Low. We witnessed tremendous ministry of the Holy Spirit coming powerfully during these training sessions. I recalled trying to be a ‘catcher’ when the altar call was given and it was impossible to break the fall of those who slain in the Spirit as almost every member of the audience was touched by the strong presence of God. Bro. James taught on the power and the importance of prophetic worship in Churches in the last days. Dr. Steven Francis prayed and prophesied over the audience, breaking chains of territorial spirits and witchcrafts in the region. Hallelujah! All in all, many requested for the prophetic training course to be conducted again yearly and the speakers to come back again to the Philippines as they could sincerely feel the strong impact and transformation that is birth through the intensive training.

On Saturday, we had a Rizal Youth Arise meeting at Grain of Wheat Christian Ministries, Taytay with Dr. Steven Francis, Pastor Melvyn and Pastor John Macadangdang. It was an amazing meeting attended by 1500 over youths. The power of the Holy Spirit moved in a tremendously wave during Ps Melvyn’s session and everyone who came literally went under the power of God. He also gave a strong prophetic Word for the Youths and for the nation of Philippines. There was a great move of the spirit when he told all those who attended the SOP to go and pray for all the youths. Many received breakthroughs and healings.

We certainly thank God for the opportunities to experience His presence and Divine interventions in many circumstances during the trip. I hope that whatever we have experienced and shared will be a blessing to you and that you will be fired up for God! To God be All Glory!

W

arriors Training Camp (WTC), is a monthly Prophetic Revival Meeting and Ministry, which was started in 2006 in obedience to the call of God which positions us to bring the Word of God through prophetic anointings, promises and provision. We thank God that for the last ten years, His supernatural enabling of these two-nights monthly meetings has shown a steady increase of people who are passionate and hungry for the Lord.

We see more and more young people coming to receive impartations in a deeper way like never before and how God’s sons and daughters are stepping out from their comfort zones to attend these meetings which results in life changing transformations and encounters with God. They have learnt how to pray in tongues, to prophesy, to be biblically grounded and to be filled with the Spirit when praying.

We would like to thank you all, for the faithful prayers and support.

By the grace of God, we will continue to motivate and multiply the seeds sown to produce a great harvest of godly sons.

Youth Camp 2015

By Gideon

I

n November 2015, we held ‘Genesis’, our very first King’s Generation Youth camp. It was a time where our youths came together in worship and fellowship, playing various games that were organised by the team, and listening to the sharing of the Word. Being immersed in the far end of Singapore gave us a brush with nature, and occasionally with species of wildlife that we don’t normally get to see.

As it was the first youth camp for the youths in this church, it was one of the first time that many of us ever got together for a straight three days and two nights. For many, it didn’t seem like they were uncomfortable at all to be spending three days together with much chats and activities. For some others, we did see the occasionally quiet and alone moments that they needed, coping with the sudden demands of time and energy that were needed for such ‘intensive’ moments of extended periods of interactions. This is understandable, and it is also something such camp experiences reveals and demands: for the individuals in the community to know and see each other not as who they are, or at least who they still are, and to work towards building genuine friendships and relationships that is intentional, and not entirely based on personal emotions or preferences. I must admit, most of us are still not very good at that, which is why such camps will continue to provide platforms for such developments in the relationships between various youths from the church.

It is all thanks to the committee team that we participated in an eventful three days of activities. The one I managed to be at was a night activity that involved a long, challenging, confusing, yet exciting and rewarding quest designed and put together by the team. The youths were organised into teams to investigate and solve a mystery case presented to them through a series of physical scenes, material

22

and verbal evidence, with occasional clues given by the game master. The various scenes were realistically acted by the cast put together by the team themselves.

It was as if the space that we were in instantly transformed into something else altogether—someone else’s lodging, a murder scene, unfolding of sequence of events, etc. It was a surreal experience that kept us going through the night despite weariness for some.

There were also a series of night sessions where we had our very own speakers from the church to address and share with the youths on various matters. What was different about these sessions were the platform that allowed the younger ones to step out of what they would normally do, to develop themselves spiritually, and also to increase their confidence in the Lord.

Many of them led worship, songs, shared revelations, experiences, and testimonies.

This allowed the youths to build on each other experiences, and to also grow together despite the age differences. The nights also provided smaller groups of youths to get together for conversations that don’t normally occur in the everyday setting.

On the last day of the camp, we departed from the campsite for the beach nearby.

We gathered for a morning session of worship in the outdoors, which was followed by a few other outdoor games.

We had more space for these ones, which allowed the youths to run around a lot more. It was a great way to end the camp.

Camps like these required a concentrated amount of energy from its participants, but it also gives in return a deeper connection among its participants. This works to compliment the other day-to-day interactions the youths will have among themselves, and plays a part in weaving everyone’s lives together, eventually for the purposes of the Kingdom.

FAMILY DAY & BAPTISM

By Elder Barnabas Wong

W

e had our JMK 2016 Family Day Outing at Aloha Loyang Chalet on the 11th June and it was a beautiful morning with clear skies as the youth gathered in the hall with the rest of the JMK family slowly streaming into the chalet.

The atmosphere was filled with expectation as we were all looking forward to a good turnout and participation with sumptuous food that were bought, the food that was being prepared for the BBQ at night and the games that were planned to engage the crowd across all ages, not forgetting prizes which the top 3 teams received.

The turnout was great! We had about 80 or more members and families who came by to fill up the halls which overflowed into the rooms. We were also delighted to welcome the family members of the 10 baptism candidates who took the extra effort to join us in this happy occasion out at the beach.

The weather did not disappoint us, the BBQ was overwhelmingly delicious with the fresh seafood and the buffet was more than enough to satisfy every stomach both big and small. The games organised by Naomi and the youth team were creative, keeping everyone jumping with joy and fun.

For me, the most meaningful experience was assisting Pastor Steven during the memorable moments out in the waist-height waters baptising the 10 candidates.

To God be the glory! From this gathering, it gives me hope that we as a family, have the potential, energy and creativity to reach out to our friends and pre-believers through such similar events in the near future.

Childrens’ Day Celebration

The King’s Kids Sunday school ministry organized an Amazing Race Children’s Day party last week.

It was a great success. God’s presence was in our midst in every part of the planning process. 30 minutes before the party was due to start, we were threatened with dark clouds and thunder. We could see flashes of lighting as we were having our holy communion at the rooftop. Our faith were stretched to trust God in every aspect of the party. Everyone was praying silently under their breath for God to part the clouds! By the time the party started, mysteriously the sky cleared up. We had a good sunny day to enjoy the party! All glory be to God! The theme of the party was Fruits of the Spirit and the games we had were all God-inspired. When the intercessors were praying, the Lord showed that He was blowing the whistle and calling forth the children to come attend the party. All the children who came were called by name to attend. Surely if God is for them, who can stop them, even the parents were obliged to bring the kids to the party, for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these. (Mark 10:14). 31 children attended the party, out of these, 22 were non believers. Praise the Lord!

The children had lots of fun playing the games designed to teach them to focus on the goodness in people and not to judge a book by its cover. They learnt to give and find love and had worked together with people of different background to complete the race.

At the end of the game, we gathered feedback from the children and parents. All gave positive feedback that they thoroughly enjoyed themselves at the party. They even asked if we would organize a party like this every year. Many wanted to come back again next year. Hallelujah and praise the Lord!

God’s presence made a difference. He filled their hearts with joy and laughter. When the children went home, they also brought back a specially prepared goodie bag- a small pot with soil and seeds. “With love, will grow” was the tag. We pray that these seeds will grow just like the spiritual seeds that were planted in the hearts of all these precious children, that they too will be fruitful in the Kingdom of God! To God be the Glory!

THE PROPHETS

REVIEWED

By James Diamante Rev. Dr Steven Francis’ book, “The Prophets” is packed with words from the Lord in regards to this times and season on how to know the schemes and strategies of the enemy, the deception of human flesh, the plan of God in these last days, and the end time army. I read the first edition of this book titled, “God’s Special Force” and it brought me to tears knowing that the time we have is short and I responded to the call of “bended knees and tears ministry” as Rev. Steven implied. It moved my heart to pursue and walk with in obedience to His word.

This new edition “The Prophets” will open your eyes to see that what we do in the physical is actually very spiritual – the natural things we do will affect our spiritual condition. You will learn how the soul influences our spirit and how frail a human heart can become. However, in the light of this book, Rev. Steven wrote many things on how to perceive the ways of God especially in these last days and how the end time army must prepare themselves.

Furthermore, we are indeed in the school of the Holy Spirit, therefore, we must be strategic in every move we make both in the spirit and in the natural. This book is like a textbook for prophetic people and also for people who are hungry for God and His ways. It is saturated and full of the scriptures and when I read it, it’s as if I am in the Bible school of the Spirit.

THE VERDICT...

I highly recommend this book to the prophetic community and for the people who are sincerely hungry for God and His ways. This book will be a blessing!

PROPHETIC WORSHIP

By James Diamante, Worship Director, Jesus My King Church

P

rophetic worship is the term we use when people who worship God are able to hear His voice and proclaim what the Lord is saying. In the bible, people who are called and used by God knew who their God is. It is very critical for the sons and daughters of the Most High to hear His heart especially in the last days. To walk with the Almighty God in close proximity means loving Him with all our hearts, soul, mind and strength, which is the first commandment (Luke 10:27). Enoch walked with God, and he was not, for God took him (Gen 5:24); these are the generations of Noah, he was a righteous man, blameless in his generation. Noah walked with God (Gen 6:9); the disciples of Jesus walked and fellowshipped with Him, because of that they received the knowledge of God from the parables more than people who merely listened to Him (eg. Matt 13). These people walked with God like a friend, as a result, they received revelations and deeper understanding of who God is and His ways.

Worship is one of the keys to unlock the mysteries of God. Prophet Samuel in his childhood served the Lord and offered sacrifices faithfully and wholeheartedly to God (I Sam 2:18, 26; 3-21), low and behold, the Lord spoke to Him. There are 4 things that I have discovered by the help of the Holy Spirit who guided me as I sought after the face of God:

1. Intimacy with God We can never call ourselves “prophetic” if we are not intimate with God. Prophet Moses walked with God and talked to Him face to face like a friend (Ex. 33:11; 30-34).

This is one of God’s mysteries, that if we seek Him we will surely find Him when we are sincerely seeking His face with all our hearts (Jer 29:13; Matt 5:8). We need to hide ourselves in the secret place to seek God and to hear Him, for our ministry is not in the open where people see us but in the secret place where we are transparent in the sight of God and His heavenly hosts. Intimacy means being open and truthful with the person who we have a relationship with- God, the Almighty One.

26

2. Warfare Waging war in the spirit through worship brings about victory in battle physically, mentally, emotionally, morally and spiritually (2 Chro 20; Deut 20:4; Psalms 118:15; 2 Sam 8:6; Acts 13:2; Acts 16:25-28). There is so much warfare in worship than what most of us realize.

When we worship, God releases His angels to fight the war with us, “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places” Eph. 6:12. Our battle is not of this world but in the spirit.

Then again, all the more we need to hear the voice and the command of our Lord to know the schemes of the enemy and to fight against it through worship. Surely His sons and daughters will have the victory and will overcome the enemy by the blood of the lamb and the word of our testimony (Rev 12:11).

3. To be a House Builder: Obedience Prophetic worship is to build a place where the glory of God will dwell. King David said: “Here I am, living in a house of cedar, while the ark of the covenant of the LORD is under a tent.” (1 Chro 17:1). Though king David didn’t see the fulfillment of his desire however, Solomon His Son, built God a temple and His glory filled it (2 Chro 3-7). If we want God to manifest His awesome presence, we must obey Him. Therefore, being prophetic in worship is not just about “feeling the presence and just simply prophesying” but doing what God desires: “to build Him a house” hence, be obedient!

4. To be a Voice We are called to be God’s mouthpiece and to be His voice like the prophets of the old and the early apostles who spoke the truth with no flattery in their tongue.

John the Baptist was trained in the school of the spirit in the wilderness for 20 years and did His ministry for 6 months as “a voice crying out in the wilderness”(Luke 3:1-7). Are we prepared to be trained in the school of the spirit? Are we willing to go through the refinement of the fire of God? In order for our worship to be pure and holy, we must be sanctified and purified by God through the blood of Jesus and with the guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is easy to sing prophetic songs but to live by the songs we sing is our goal.

To be a mouthpiece of God requires humility, not to say what we want intellectually but allowing Him to put His words in our mouths without taking any credit. There is a heavy responsibility upon those who hear the voice of God and people who worship Him in a prophetic manner. Once we realise that, we will be or yet should be the most obedient sons and daughters of the Most High.

Our gracious heavenly Father not only seeks out the heart of those who will worship Him but He is looking for people whom He can trust for the great harvest and awakening that will take place in these coming days. People who are fearless yet having childlikeness in them; possessing the boldness of a lion yet with a loving heart like a lamb; warrior on the outside yet God’s lover on the inside. We, the sons and daughters of God, must lift up the name of Jesus so that all man will be drawn to Him and until every nation sing. Amen!

It was a great time of unity and bonding with one another; sharing, caring and praying for the needy in Batam. Happy to be with the team.

Esther G The fruits of excitement, passion and compassion of the COP students were the evident mark of the ministry of humility and love showed towards the needy families and children in the villages and slums.

Ng Teck San

I remembered what I learned in College of Prophets and exercised to wait upon God for a Word of Knowledge and spoke it to those who were sick and distressed.

I was surprised to see myself as a vessel of God as the Word released was an affirmation, healing and blessing to them.

It was great to see in action how God can use simple people like us to touch others.

It was a "prophesy" come true for me.

We certainly felt the power of God gushing out of us as we prayed for the people at the altar! Such power and anointing! It was indeed an awesome mission trip where our eyes were opened to the compassion of God for the poor and needy. Our hearts were stirred and deeply moved to do more for God! Ruth

Praise God the Almighty! Nothing beats the experience and the joy of being a vessel for our good Lord’s love and healing touch flowing to His people.

The Lord’s Presence was so tangible and every countenance of the people was so joyful after they received prayers. Doing His work truly transcends barriers of race, culture and language and I discover that it is so important to be at the right place, with the right people, at the right time.

This mission trip helped us apply everything that we have been taught in COP. We learned to be more focus and attentive to the spiritual atmosphere; in releasing the Word of prophesy, laying of hands on the sick & needy and casting out of demon possessed. It was an awesome time of bonding through the rooming and doing ministry together and most of all humbled that God used us to bless the people in Batam.

Juddy Wong

I truly thank God for wonderfully connecting me with Pak Deny and with his amazing team in Batam to organized all the meetings and visitations in a short period of time. It was truly a divine connection. I thank God for the supernatural faith encounters, stirring of all the gifts and impartation that was release upon the COP students. Everyone who came experienced breakthroughs in becoming His vessel to touch and transform lives for His Glory. God took control of the trip!

am full of gratitude to God for leading me to study the Advanced Diploma in Prophetic Ministries. I have benefitted so much from the teaching and training by all the lecturers. The thought-provoking and reflective insights that were taught during the lessons always caused me to be in awe of God and most of the time it seems like He is speaking to me personally in the classroom.

The openness of the classmates to share from their hearts have helped me to grow in my walk with God. The books and the assignments have helped me tremendously and I can apply them in very practical ways which are so timely. I would like to thank all the lecturers for selflessly sharing their rich knowledge, experiences and skills as well as their personal journey with us to enrich and to encourage us to walk the journey of our calling and to fulfill our destiny. I strongly recommend this course to others if God has called them into the prophetic ministry and if they are hungry for more of Him. This is the place for them that they can find God in everything.

hank You, Lord, for seeing me through the Advanced COP course. Thank you Pastor Steven for this awesome course, for teaching us and engaging other anointed and passionate lecturers to teach us. I always looked forward to attending every class because the Word of God was taught with such depth and revelation. The presence of the Lord was there. The great camaraderie among all of us doing the course made it so enjoyable too. I was also greatly inspired by and learned much from the books we were asked to read. This course pushed, challenged and enabled me to grow spiritually. Some things I found difficult to do like writing my essays, book reviews and journals, managing my time and fasting. Discipline, reflection and relying on God are necessary and good for me. Praise God for His help and the sense of accomplishment that came from finishing my assignments. I am sad that this course is ending, but I thank God for His equipping and the friendships that have been made. Thank you all lecturers, sister Viji, JMK staff and class-mates. May all that we have learned and experienced lead us to love God more and enable us to be effective in the areas He has placed us. All glory and honour to Him.

We decided to continue embarking on our COP journey from the previous diploma course as we felt a lot of learning was imparted by extremely experienced subject matter experts. The decision that we took to continue from the previous COP course couldn’t have been better!

The in-depth teachings by different pastors bolstered by constant book reviews, assignments, journals, mission trip and fasting sessions ensured that it was a two way learning between the mentors and the students instead of just the old fashion way of receiving knowledge.

Lessons conducted by Pastor Steven along with external speakers like Pastor Rupert Lim and Pastor John Koe were indeed very helpful in understanding topics like Principles of Biblical Leadership, Soul Bondage, Prophetic Activation and Kingdom Finance only to name a few; it was certainly the greatest course ever coupled with amazingly concise course handouts.

I

thank God that He brought me to College of Prophets Advanced Diploma course. Every lesson has encouraged me and strengthened my spirit man, drove me to seek God more and turned my heart to draw closer to Him. I have learned how to have faith and trust him in the different challenges of my life.

This course ignited me to have the faith to ask the Holy Spirit to use me for His glory and to become a blessing to many. God has set me free from my fears and I received many breakthroughs.

One of the most valuable lessons I learned from this course is that I do not need to struggle when I face challenges, for I hold the spiritual weapons the Lord has given to His saints.

I thank God for Rev. Steven Francis, the principal of College of Prophets, for training us and the lecturers for imparting to us powerful and fresh revelations from God. I also want to appreciate Sister Viji and the staff for their hard work in this program.. Lastly, I express my thankfulness to my classmates for all the encouragement, care and support; I have learnt so much from each one of you. Praise God for College of Prophets!

I

am thankful to God for His confirmation and providence that I am able to continue my COP Advanced Diploma this year; learning to grow and be a good steward of the prophetic gifting that the Lord has imparted in my life.

It is my desire to grow in my intimate relationship with our Lord Jesus, to walk in purity and resting in Him and to experience a new level of grace, power and authority to go forth as His messenger to reveal what is in the heart of our Father to all His precious sons and daughters.

This year is significant to me as I embarked on a journey of learning to step out in radical obedience, in faith and boldness to pray and release words of encouragement, edification and comfort to people He has put along the way and to witness the amazing grace and power of His love that is poured upon His beloved children. It is my greatest joy to hear their encounters with our Heavenly Father that brings healing, restoration and breakthroughs in their lives. All glory to our Lord Jesus!

t has been a joy and honour to sit under the feet of the many lecturers in Advanced Diploma Course. They have imparted valuable wisdom and knowledge of the prophetic that has served to strengthen my faith, to challenge me to go deeper into the lifestyle of the prophetic and equipped me to be confident in ministering the prophetic way following after the pattern set by Jesus Christ. Though the coursework has been challenging, I praise God for His grace that saw me through and I benefitted greatly from it. I also enjoyed the great camaraderie we had among the course mates. I have been greatly rewarded.

he greatest thing that I have gained while studying in College of Prophets is knowing Jesus. When I first heard of the College of Prophets, I was actually thinking of studying about prophetic teachings. After about 16 months of intensive teachings and studies, I realised that all the effort from the lecturers taught me to know Jesus, how to be a child of God and what a disciple of Jesus should or must do. It wasn’t about religion but all about our relationship with Jesus. If anyone would ask me what was the greatest lesson that I’ve learnt in the College of Prophets, I would say “Knowing Jesus” and “how to continue to be in love with Him”. The biggest takeaway from COP was that Jesus must increase and I decrease, and to prepare the way of the Lord. To God be the Glory!

Lily Gimfil Jesus My King Church

I

thank God for this opportunity to be part of the Advanced Diploma COP. I believe this is God’s will for me and my husband to be trained and equipped for His purpose in this end times.

It is a great blessing to receive teachings from Ps Steven and many other anointed men of God and it has really increased my faith and understanding in many ways, especially in the spiritual principles of God and ways to apply God’s word in my personal life.

Many of the topics are deep and intense, yet it satisfies my hunger to learn and know more about Him. I’m privileged to be part of God’s army and I can’t wait to embark on my journey of serving Him in the coming days.

O

nce again, without warning, the goodness of the Lord overtakes me. This 2016 has been full of surprises. One wonders (and marvels) at how God works so deeply in the human soul, in His mysterious ways. Trust seems to be the theme of this season of my life, as I struggled to place my hand in His, and to follow - for I had a bundle of fears which fuelled hesitation, keeping me “small”.

Through valleys deep and over the heights, the question remains, “Would you trust me?” I found trust to be extremely demanding. I had to allow God to tear down, so that He could rebuild, and reframe much of my thought life.

Through the past 7 months of College of Prophets (“COP”) classes, I found myself grappling with issues of “faith”, and its outworking in my life. The subjects taught have been very intensive on the heart and mind (think, surgery!), and conditioned me to become a “seeker”. I would often wonder about the seeming disparity or gap between all I am learning from the word (through the prophetic teaching and study) and my limited human experience - since truth must be live-able and lived! And so, I would ask for exceedingly abundantly more (as inspired by Eph 3:20). I could not seem to settle the familiar creature comforts I once loved. As Matthew 7:7 goes, “Ask and you shall receive; seek and you shall find…” I am holding onto this verse until I find, and taste and see, and become a first-hand witness of the glory of God. One powerful takeaway from this year (through the book review and assignment) comes in the form of this question: What does “asking” mean in the context of the Kingdom prayer and intercession? This is critical in carrying the end-times mandate. I believe that I’ve merely scratched the surface, and pray to be faithful in prayer (enabled by the grace of the Lord, and not relying on human determination alone). The deposits and impartation received through COP teachings are precious, and I see how God has been preparing me by first dealing with my innermost desires. Desire points, and (as illustrated by Pastor Steven) gives the force (or momentum) for the will to “swing” towards God and the Kingdom purposes.

The Lord purifies our thoughts and desires, that we may become worthy of His calling (Eph 4:1, Col 1:10). For years, I had desired to have uninterrupted time and space (what I seem to have lost amidst modern busyness) to seek the Lord. God has (grandly!) interrupted my life, and granted me this one desire - and is sending me to Wales for Bible College, as COP draws to a close. One ending makes way for another beginning, and He leads on. His timing is perfect. I see this as a bridge to be crossed, hand-to-plow. No turning back. I am immensely grateful to have a Living Saviour to follow forward, and in Him, I shall find my rest and reward. Thank You, Jesus!

praise and thank God for bringing me to College of prophets to empower me. The assignments were very helpful with my walk with God and helped me discover the weapons of warfare that God has given me.

Learning to write assignments has increased the level of dependency I have with the Holy Spirit and it deepened my thought process as I went through the entire COP course. I discovered the pleasures in knowing that in every trial I face and when difficult situations arises, God draws me nearer to Him and who I truly am in Him. College of Prophets trained me to be like a warrior who’s being raised up in the last days.

wanted to have a clearer direction of God’s will for my life. As I was seeking Him earnestly, soaking in His presence and being rooted in His word. I had amazing encounters with God and He is realigning my life to His purpose and will. God has reignited my love for Him and deepened my desire to pursue Him more. I am indeed so blessed attending College of Prophets Advanced Diploma 3.

“You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart” Jeremiah 29:13 (NIV). This verse really encapsulates my ADV3COP journey as it is time to seek, find and experience Him.

It has been so enriching and fulfilling, enabling myself to discover more of God’s truth in my life. I am so thankful that I have this opportunity to spend time simply enjoying God’s presence and experiencing Him in ways I have never thought of before.

As God reveals His heart for me, He began His surgery on my heart, exposing my weaknesses and fears. He affirmed my identity as His child and as an overcomer. Bit by bit, He showed me His gifts and plans for me. I desire to hear His voice more and am learning to be disciplined and obedient, to reflect, meditate and realign my heart to Him. I am excited to embark on this transformative journey to fulfil His destiny in my life.

Praise the Lord!

want to thank God for being able to continue with my Advanced Diploma in College of Prophets after the completion of my COP Diploma in 2015.

The prophetic teaching and training by various experienced lecturers were refreshing, enriching, inspiring and challenging. The lessons stirred me up for a deeper hunger for the Word of God, drew me to have an intimate relationship with God and also helped me to grow in my walk with God. It has taught me the importance of staying close with God and pursuing Him wholeheartedly moving into another level with God. This course has also helped me to shape my mind and spirit to align my thoughts, plans and my future according to God’s plans and purposes for my life. As I continue to pursue Him and fix my eyes on Him, I trust His new plans for me after my graduation and bringing me to another level of new season for his glory.

Rev Steven Francis’s inspiring life experiences, his challenges in ministry and his encounters with God in the secret place has also impacted my life. I want to thank Rev Steven Francis and all the lecturers for their faithful commitment and love for the Lord. May their journey in Christ continue from glory to glory.

am truly thankful to God for this golden opportunity once again to be trained in the College of Prophets upon being enrolled in the Advanced Diploma in Prophetic Studies. This time, the training in the Advanced Diploma course is more intensive, its content deeper in profundity, but I enjoy every moment of the class lessons for the lecturers are never dull! Whereas the Diploma course builds in the students an unshakeable and stable foundation in basic doctrines in theology and instil in them crucial spiritual disciplines, the Advanced Diploma course elevates the spiritual training higher to provide an unique and in-depth training in subjects pertaining to the prophetic, including a deeper understanding of the role of a prophet in the End-time church, the relevance of the prophetic ministry to the church at large and how prophetic believers can attain spiritual maturity, groom their prophetic giftings and develop a holistic lifestyle pleasing to God. I would like to thank all the Spirit-filled lecturers who inspire me with their godly lifestyle in the fear of the Lord and their passion in pursuing God. They have all paid the high price of walking intimately with God, pursuing the high prophetic calling that God has ordained for their lives, setting an excellent standard for all prophetic believers to emulate!

aving gone through the Diploma in the College of Prophet in the year 2015, I am thankful that God had brought me to continue with the Advanced Diploma this year. This continuation has helped me in my knowledge and impacted my spiritual journey even further. Now I have a better understanding of the Prophetic Ministry and the importance of it in the end times. A key component in this course allowed the Spirit of God to groom us to align ourselves to the His calling. While a Special Force of warriors and prophets are being raised up through the prophetic courses, the necessity to strengthen each individual member is also critical. We learn to function in unison with the other members of the body of Christ to carry a divine authority to go forward to destroy Satan’s kingdom and to establish the kingdom of God. Now my journey in the Lord has certainly been refreshed and I have a better outlook in life and my walk with God is more steadfast. My inner man is being strengthened and empowered daily for the next phase of spiritual experiences and I am more ready for challenges. More than sitting through these teachings, the Lord desires for us to grow in intimacy with Him by applying them in our daily walk.

It was an awesome privilege to sit under the anointing of Pastor Steven and other lectures who had given us nothing but their BEST!

David Ravenhill Author and Itinerant Teacher, Siloam Springs, Arkansas. U.S.A.

Dear Graduating Class, Firstly, let me congratulate you on finishing your course at The College Of Prophets. Well done!

Now for the bad news, you have only just begun.

There is no such thing as finishing in the Christian life unless like Paul you know for certain that your departure from this life is immanent. The race ahead of you will be fraught with tests, trials and temptations. This should not surprise you as it is clearly revealed to us through the life of Jesus.

Following His baptism and commissioning, He was led immediately into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. You too should expect nothing less.

True ministers of Jesus Christ must develop Christ-like character along with their calling. As someone wisely said, “When character fails every thing fails.” The secret to surviving your anointing and calling is in abiding.

When Jesus chose the twelve apostles, He told them prior to sending them forth to preach the gospel and cast out demons etc, they had to “be with him”. Those three words will secure your success. Never go out to minister unless you have spent time with Him. You are about to embark on the journey of your life. There is no greater privilege than being called into the service of the King of Kings. May the Lord use you in a mighty way to establish a Kingdom that cannot be shaken and will never end.

Congratulations again.

Rev Isaiah Mahendran Tabernacle of Holiness To the Graduates of College of Prophets Advanced Diploma 2016, Heartiest congratulations on your graduation. All of you have sacrificed much time and energy, not only to finish this course, but to do it with excellence as well.

This College has prepared all of you for great endurance that has been set before you. May the Lord give you wisdom and guidance, and set you on the right path and journey ahead. He watches over us, always. Fulfill the destiny that He has planned for you. Never give up! Press on towards that finish line.

I encourage you to look at one another as fellow watchmen as fellow warriors, upholding each other with love and prayer and in truth; to look out for each other’s success and to guard each other against the onslaught of the enemy. May His abundance be found in each one of our lives.

Congrats From the Faculty Dr Carol Yeo Dear students, Congratulations on graduating from the College of Prophets! You have worked hard to complete the diploma and are blessed with a richer understanding of Scripture and deeper insights into Christian growth which never ends till you see the Lord Jesus! As you embark on the next stage of your journey with the LORD, may the Spirit of the LORD rest upon you, “the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD” (Is. 11:2).

As you continue to fight both internal and external battles, REMEMBER the LORD’s promise, “Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given you…Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD you God is with you wherever you go.” (Joshua 1:3, 9).

Remember your assignment, your calling, your anointing, your gifting. Keep it in mind always. Water it. Cultivate it. Use it – be it in intercession or healing, preaching or teaching, giving or helping, organising or administration, etc. And as you labour, remember Jesus “who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of God” (Hebrews 12:2).

As you make yourself available, the LORD will, in turn, remember you. He will instruct and lead you, provide for you, protect, encourage and comfort you, bless and be gracious to you and your family. “The LORD God is my strength; He will make my feet like deer’s feet and He will make me walk on my high hills” (Habakkuk 3:19).

Dear students, may you mount up with wings like eagles!

Ps John Koe Petra Church Congratulations on your graduation! Though your journey in COP draws to a close, glorious new seasons of growth and conquests awaits you. I charge you to forge forward with faith and tenacity to lay hold of the inheritance you have in Christ. In many ways, the Christian life parallels Israel’s journey to Canaan. The Wilderness represents the struggle to enter God’s inheritance; Canaan signifies entering and living a life of victory, provision and promise. Just as the Israelites continued living in a “conquest mode” even after entering Canaan, you too are to keep advancing to lay hold of your “land” - God’s glorious plans and callings upon your life. The first command given by God when He created Man was to “GROW”. The last command given by Christ before His ascension was to “GO”.

Growing is about the being – the identity you have as a child of the Most High.

Going is about the doing – living out the identity as His sons and daughters.

You cannot go beyond your growth; you cannot grow and yet not go. God’s kingdom is advancing through you. May the Lord’s grace abound towards you to keep growing and going forth to reclaim the earth for His glory!

Rev Aow Kwong Bu His Arrow Church Warmest congratulations to the Graduating Class of 2016!

One of the key Parables our Lord Jesus taught His disciples is the Parable of the Sower (Mark 4: 1 – 9).

A sower went out and sowed seeds into the ground. Due to the different conditions of the soil, some seeds could not grow, some withered away, but other seeds fell on good ground and yielded a crop that sprang up and multiplied, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some a hundred.

I pray that each of you will walk into your destiny and calling as you put into practice all the insights, principles and truths which God has taught you. As you use all the skills which He had equipped you, you too will flourish and multiply a 100-Fold for our Lord Jesus.

Go forth and serve our Lord Jesus with joy and multiply for Him!

Another year has passed by so quickly.

The Vision 2016 – A Year of God’s Covenanted Favor. The main focus of the Advanced Diploma was to build around the Prophets, the Prophetic Anointing and the Ministry of Prophecy. With this in mind, some modules were refined, five new topics were introduced and a mission trip was planned.

The Curriculum The curriculum and the intentional focus on the integration of Christian Counseling covers all of the necessary content areas from a very practical perspective in a prophetic dimension.

The principal and the team deliberated and developed the new modules to make it more challenging and relevant for this time and season.

Make no mistake, the standards are high, the workload is significant – four assignments, 4 book reviews, journaling, clocking of prayer hours, fasting, speaking in tongues and practical ministry. It is more than book knowledge but it’s also about exercising and experiencing prophetic giftings and learning invaluable tools and insights.

There is a good balance of Biblecentered, Gospel-driven, God-exalting prophetic teachings and applications.

Students are stretched and sharpened in ways that simply would not have happened without the constant encouragement towards a prophetic ministry.

The Lecturers…. The vision of College of Prophets is the reason why many students are choosing to pursue a prophetic ministry. The topics are developed to challenge and apply what is learnt into interactive learning.

Lecturers invested efforts, and the knowledge that they have imparted throughout the course is amazing.

Each lecturer has his or her own areas of expertise and carry a special anointing and gifting. Personal interactions with the students challenges them to be what God has called them to be.

Congratulations Dear Students for achieving this milestone and making it until the end!

Through what you have learnt at the College of Prophets, carry on the vision that God has given you back to your church, your loved ones and make an impact in their lives.

The classroom discussions and sharing of wisdom in life experiences has opened your minds to consider all viewpoints and broadened your understanding of the Prophetic Ministry.

The Call

The Values

“God has called me to teach and train the present generation of prophetic company who will be sold out for Him. Some of these people will be called by God into the full time ministry, while many will remain as prophetic ambassadors in the community, releasing the Word of the Lord to the people. The Church was birthed forth in prophecy and must carry a prophetic spirit in her message and mission to the lost. I have been called to trumpet the last call to the Church before the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ”

College of Prophets provides Word-based training by qualified ministers with proven ministries. These ministers have established ministries and have trained thousands around the world. They are ministry practitioners with an anointing to build the Church for Jesus.

Rev Steven Francis With this burden, a team of ministers who are highly trained by the Lord have been assembled with the same purpose - “to equip the saints and to build up the Body of Christ (Eph. 4:12).

Rev Steven Francis has been relationally connected to each of these men of God for many years, some of whom have spoken wisdom into his life. All the trainers are mentors to their people and have been in the mission field for many years. They bring wisdom, both in field work and church ministry.

The school’s training is based on three values needed for the prophetic training and ministry: COMPETENCY in the knowledge of God’s word and the subjects pertaining to the various disciplines of ministry.

INTEGRITY in their personal walk with God and their conduct of ministry.

ACCOUNTABILITY to the Lord, to the Church, and to fellow ministers by abiding and operating within the limits of the Word, the will of God, and the ethical frameworks for the prophetic ministry.

College of Prophets aims to train warriors of Jesus for these end times who will hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches and become overcomers!
