Hebrews 4:16 King James Version (KJV)

16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

The 1990s were times of prayer. The Spirit of Prayer was with us.

After Calvary Jaya Bp Fellowship was established we attended its services in Section 17, Petaling Jaya, Malaysia.

The young Church grew in membership.

One evening we attended A Gospel Film Show.

It was one that was Spirit inspired and gave great conviction

I was very blessed. Just before the film ended Rev. Lim Jit Thye (Chinese Pastor) asked me to give a brief gospel message after the Film Show. I requested the brethren to pray while i gave an impromptu message

Ha! No time was given except for a brief 15 minutes to prepare and sum up my thoughts as to what i should speak.

Then i remembered the times spent in daily prayer

16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

Yes, dear LORD, this is your servant time of need! Having been to The Throne of Grace and boldly praying (not knowing what to ask before) now we know; and we urgently needed “Timely help” at this most crucial time like now.

When i opened my mouth I immediately felt assisted with an unction of power. And the simple invitation went forth in power

At the invitation 3 people raised their hands to receive Christ as LORD and Savior (Now this has been the practise in JSM & also among the Baptist Churches, but not in Calvary Bp Churches. Bp Churches normally don’t ask for raising of hands publicly in response to preaching)

But that night of nights in PJ 3 persons raised their hands at the Gospel invitation

Among them were a brother called Danny (teacher) and one we could not recall the name now. And one sister called Danielle Ding Lai Yat raised up her hand to accept Christ. To our gladness Danielle later became the wife of Rev. Lee Kim Shong (the current Pastor of Calvary Jaya Bp Fellowship

So on hindsight our time spent at the Throne of Grace prepares us with God’s timely help in times of need

As the song goes

“Thou art coming to a Throne

  Large petitions with thee bring

For His grace and power are such;

  That none can ever ask too much

Amen & Amen

Below is the Calvary Jaya Bp Fellowship (PJ)

Time has flown. A year has passed since the passing of Dr Tow Siang Hwa.

Though absent in body. His memory remains. It was in year 1978 when I first heard him spoke in BHS Jesus Saves Mission as a guest speaker.

The message was against the compromising Billy Graham Crusade in Singapore then. Both JSM & Dr. Tow held the fundamentalist view of separation from compromise. His message was filled with pepper and chilli as he called it then.

10 years later in 1988 when we resigned from JSM we attended the Calvary Jaya Bp Fellowship in Damansara Jaya founded by Dr Tow

How we thank God for raising up this Fundamental Stand in these last days

In year 1989 Calvary Pandan from Singapore paid for the current Calvary Jaya BP Fellowship Church building at 1, Jalan 17/1, Section 17, PJ for Rm590,000 as an outright purchase after the Bank failed to auction it. The piece of land next door was purchased at the same time for Rm190,000 on the same day.

But to get a Church permit is difficult and Elder Choe Tong Seng told the Deacons to scout for a suitable Shophouse nearby to hold Church Service legally.

Meanwhile we asked members to pray 24 hour Chain Prayer

Each person who volunteered will take up one or more hours to pray. The hours of daylight were easily filled. Then some took the 12 midnight to 1am slot. And some took up the 1am to 2am watch hour. The wee hours from 2am to 4am were quite empty. Tough then as most members  were professionals who need to rise early for work everyday. And so the Church prayed

Thanks be to God. Finally the Church is registered under the Society Acts and instead of Calvary Jaya BP Church it is called Calvary Jaya BP Fellowship (Society) today. Swiftly 31 years have passed.

It was Dr Tow who told us to take a Multivitamin each day with a glass of water every morning before breakfast. I have been doing this for over 30 years now.

Another piece of great advise was from Dr. Choe (A pharmacist by training) who told me to take High dosage of Vitamin C for flu

He said before Dr. Tow’s open casket, “We are very very close!” Though separated by VPP doctrine they are both good neighbours and good lifelong friends. Amen
