For as long as I can remember, I have always heard the word “race” being used in Christian circles. More often than not, it is used to describe life (and the Christian walk is conveniently included), its many challenges and how it is not a sprint but a marathon. To this end, we are all …

After two parables about sowers, seeds and fields, Jesus continues with the same imagery for the third parable; and then extends the idea through the fourth. The Parables of the Mustard Seed (Matt 13:31-32) and Leaven (Matt 13:33), communicate one truth: the impact of the Kingdom and how it starts. Let us be reminded that …
What has the FIFA World Cup got to do with the ministry of Archippus Awakening? Well, not much, actually – or so I thought. I didn’t watch one single match although I did scan the news coverage merely to keep up with what’s happening over on the other side of the world; and to sound …

Yesterday, I returned from speaking at Glad Tidings Church Camp, held at Renaissance Hotel JB, 14-16 June. My heart is filled with gratitude to Abba Father for His presence, strength and enablement. I’d also like to extend a big word of thanks to all who prayed for me. At the recommendation of Ps Richard Toh, I was invited by …

Immediately after the Parable of the Soils (Sower), Jesus shares another parable (Matt 13:24-30) involving a sower and seeds again. The two parables may have contained similar elements but the focus and interpretation is totally different. Thankfully, when His disciples came to Him, Jesus explained the Parable of the Wheat and the Tares very plainly …
I believe everyone is familiar with the Parable of the Sower (Matt 13:3-9;18-23). Personally, I prefer to refer to it as the Parable of the Soils as it deals primarily with the four different types of grounds symbolic of the varying conditions of hearts. We will get to that in a while but first, let …
Last night, I had the opportunity to meet Dr Benny Prasad, the only musician to have travelled to and played in every country in the world – 257 to be precise – within a span of only six years! What’s even more surprising is that he never grew up with music but only picked up …
Facebook Post, 19 April 2014: “It’s so easy to talk Christian and yet not live Kingdom.” More recently, I have been declaring rather boldly that we must learn to discern between church and kingdom. That said, just because we agree with this statement, it does not necessarily mean we fully understand what it means or what …
Since the Lord planted the seed of Archippus Awakening in my spirit on 27 Oct 2013, so much has happened. Not a day has gone by without a new thought, a new idea, a new perspective. Doors opened and I got to meet new friends, learning and discovering fresh angles of the Kingdom, broadening my views …
Today, 22 April 2014, is a significant day for Archippus Awakening. On this day, I got to share this new ministry in the very first ever public meeting at Metropolitan YMCA’s Y’s Men’s Christian Fellowship. Prior to this, I had only shared with very close friends on a one-on-one basis and two small groups by …
