Two Words That Make Discipleship Difficult

God is in the picture, even when He allows discomfort — because everything of real value has to go through fire. In this message, Rev Dr Kenneth Chin unpacks a powerful truth using the picture of a pearl: it only forms when an irritant is allowed to stay, and if we run from every discomfort, we short-circuit the very process God is using to shape us. He challenges a common but costly habit among Christians — jumping from church to church the moment things get uncomfortable — and warns that well-meaning advice to "just leave" can actually block what God is doing in someone's life. Drawing from the Apostle Paul, who was broken again and again yet grew stronger and more used by God each time, Rev Kenneth reminds us that suffering was literally part of Paul's calling from day one. Discipleship, he says, is simple in theory but hard in practice — it all comes down to two words we resist: "no" and "go." A convicting call to stop running from the process and start becoming a true disciple.

Brokenness Leads To Anointing

The world looks for skill, talent, and beauty — but God is looking for something else entirely: an anointing that only comes through brokenness. In this message, Rev Dr Kenneth Chin drives this home through David, and through the picture of a worship leader whose season of pain didn't diminish her leading but deepened it — not because of Bible school or a worship conference, but because she let God break her. Like olives crushed to release oil, like Jesus wounded for our transgressions, like the alabaster jar broken so its fragrance could fill the room, real anointing flows out of surrender to the crushing process. Your family, your neighbors, your colleagues, your classmates — they will all smell the fragrance that comes out of your brokenness. A tender reminder that God is near to the brokenhearted, and that the delay you're facing isn't neglect — it's Him digging deeper so the anointing can flow.

Menjadi Elia Generasi Ini

Di manakah Tuhan Elia itu? Dia tidak ke mana-mana — Dia masih di sini. Dalam mesej yang penuh kuasa ini, Pr Dr Kenneth Chin menyeru generasi ini untuk bangkit menjadi Elia zaman sekarang, mengingatkan kita bahawa Tuhan yang sama yang menurunkan api di Gunung Karmel adalah Tuhan yang sama semalam, hari ini, dan selama-lamanya, dan Dia masih mencari seseorang yang sanggup mengambil cabaran serta percaya bahawa Dia masih boleh. Pr Dr Kenneth menghuraikan apa yang diperlukan untuk menjadi Elia generasi kita: memilih Tuhan setiap pagi mendahului segala-galanya — mendahului gangguan, berhala, "siapa yang handsome" dan "siapa yang popular" — hidup yang disisihkan dan dikuduskan, serta sanggup berkorban dan memberikan yang terbaik kepada Tuhan. Dan akhirnya, ini bukan tentang diri kita sendiri — seperti Elia, kita berseru meminta api dari syurga bukan demi diri sendiri, tetapi supaya kawan-kawan, sekolah, dan komuniti kita dapat melihat bahawa Dialah Tuhan. Satu seruan yang berani dan penuh Roh Kudus kepada setiap anak muda: jangan hanya kagumi iman Elia — jadilah seperti dia. ________________________ Where is the God of Elijah? He hasn't gone anywhere — He is still here. In this powerful message, Pr Dr Dr Kenneth Chin calls this generation to rise up as the Elijahs of today, reminding us that the same God who sent fire down on Mount Carmel is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and He's still looking for someone who will take up the challenge and believe He still can. Pr Dr Kenneth unpacks what it takes to become the Elijah of our generation: choosing God every single morning before anything else — before the distractions, the idols, the "who's handsome" and "who's popular" — being set apart and consecrated, and willing to sacrifice and give God our best. And ultimately, it's not about ourselves — like Elijah, we cry out for fire from heaven not for our own sake, but so that our friends, our schools, our communities may know that He is God. A bold, Spirit-filled call to every young person: don't just admire Elijah's faith — become it.

Kandungan yang masuk ke dalam hati | Pr Dr Kenneth Chin

Apakah yang sebenarnya sampai ke hati anak-anak muda — aktiviti yang menarik, atau mesej di sebaliknya? Dalam bengkel bersama pemimpin belia ini, Rev Dr Kenneth Chin mencabar kita untuk menilai semula cara kita melayani golongan muda. Bukan aktiviti yang utama — tetapi kandungannya. Permainan, acara, dan pembungkusan yang kreatif mungkin menarik ramai orang, tetapi hanya "isi" mesej yang mengubah hidup. Jadi, jangan tertekan dengan pembungkusan; fokuslah kepada apa yang benar-benar masuk ke dalam hati. Rev Dr Kenneth turut berkongsi beberapa perkara penting yang boleh diusahakan oleh setiap pemimpin belia untuk menjangkau generasi ini dengan lebih berkesan. Dengarkan, ambil nota, dan teruslah dikuatkan — isi lebih penting daripada gaya, mesej lebih penting daripada kaedah. ________________________________ What actually reaches the hearts of young people — the exciting programs we run, or the message behind them? In this workshop with youth leaders, Rev Dr Kenneth Chin challenges us to rethink how we do youth ministry. It's not about the activity — it's about the content. The games, events, and creative packaging may draw a crowd, but only the "meat" of the message transforms lives. So don't stress over the wrapping; focus on what actually enters the heart. Rev Dr Kenneth also shares practical key points every youth leader can work on to reach this generation more effectively. Listen in, take notes, and be encouraged — substance over style, message over method.

Pimpin Dengan Keyakinan

Adakah kamu perlu 100% yakin sebelum memimpin? Pr Kenneth Chin berkongsi secara peribadi — bagaimana walaupun setelah 3.5 tahun mengejar Sandra, keraguan datang seminggu sebelum perkahwinan mereka. Namun melalui sebuah penglihatan dari Tuhan tentang Sandra pada usia 88 tahun, berkedut dan ompong, jawapannya tetap ya. Keyakinan yang sejati bukan ketiadaan rasa takut — ia adalah mempercayai Tuhan cukup untuk melangkah maju, dan membiarkan keyakinan itu berkembang sepanjang perjalanan. ________________ Do you have to be 100% confident before you lead? Pr Kenneth Chin gets personal — sharing how even after 3.5 years of pursuing Sandra, doubt crept in the week before their wedding. But through a vision from God of Sandra at 88, wrinkled and toothless, his answer was still yes. True confidence isn't the absence of fear — it's trusting God enough to take the first step, and letting confidence grow as you go.

Can Christians Be Possessed?

In this episode of the Message-To-Go Podcast, Pr Kenneth Chin explores a question many Christians wrestle with: Can believers be demon-possessed? He argues that because of Christ's work on the cross secured and sealed believers, the Holy Spirit's presence leaves no room for demonic ownership. However, Chin acknowledges that Christians can still struggle with strongholds like fear, anxiety, and insecurity. Using his own battle with fear of darkness as an example, he urges young believers to move beyond spiritual doubt a actively claim the freedom and authority they already possess in Christ.

Tuhan Memilih Insan Yang Terluka

Dalam episod Message-To-Go Podcast kali ini, Pr Kenneth Chin menyampaikan satu pesanan yang sangat menyentuh hati dan penuh harapan bertajuk "Tuhan Memilih Orang Yang Terluka". Sering kali, apabila kita mengalami kehancuran, kegagalan, atau tragedi, kita merasa tidak lagi berguna bagi Tuhan. Namun, melalui pesanan ini, Pr Kenneth mendedahkan kebenaran yang sebaliknya: Tuhan justru sering memilih orang-orang yang hancur dan terluka untuk menyatakan kemuliaan-Nya. Di tangan Tuhan, tragedi terbesar dalam hidup kamu boleh berubah menjadi satu kesaksian yang luar biasa! Untuk menggambarkan proses rohani ini, Pr Kenneth berkongsi satu ilustrasi yang sangat kuat tentang seekor kuda liar. Seekor kuda liar yang penuh tenaga dan potensi tidak akan dapat digunakan oleh pemiliknya sebelum ia "dijinakkan" atau dipecahkan semangat kesombongannya (broken). Begitu juga dengan hidup kita; proses "dihancurkan" bukanlah tanda bahawa Tuhan ingin membuang kita, sebaliknya ia adalah cara-Nya untuk membentuk ketaatan dan menyediakan kita supaya boleh dipakai untuk tujuan-tujuan besar dalam Kerajaan-Nya ________ In this episode of the Message-To-Go Podcast, Pr Kenneth Chin delivers a message that is deeply touching and full of hope, titled "God Chooses the Wounded." Often, when we experience devastation, failure, or tragedy, we feel no longer useful to God. However, through this message, Pr Kenneth reveals the opposite truth: God actually often chooses people who are broken and wounded to display His glory. In God's hands, the greatest tragedy in your life can be transformed into an extraordinary testimony! To illustrate this spiritual process, Pr Kenneth shares a powerful illustration about a wild horse. A wild horse full of energy and potential will not be able to be used by its owner before it is "tamed" or broken in spirit. The same is true with our lives; the process of being broken is not a sign that God wants to discard us, but rather it is His way of shaping obedience and preparing us so that we can be used for great purposes in God's Kingdom.

Tuhan Jawab Dengan Api

Apa yang anda paling inginkan dalam hidup ini — wang, pasangan hidup, peluang berhijrah, kerjaya yang cemerlang? Dalam episod ini, Pr Kenneth Chin membawakan mesej yang berapi-api bertajuk "Tuhan Jawab Dengan Api" — mengingatkan kita bahawa sebelum Tuhan memberi apa yang kita minta, Dia mahu memberi kita api terlebih dahulu. Kerana apa gunanya semua itu tanpa api Tuhan? Tanpa api, kita akan menggunakan setiap pemberian-Nya hanya untuk diri sendiri — dan perlahan-lahan menjadi sejuk dan jauh dari-Nya. Api Tuhan mengubah segalanya yang disentuhnya — keluarga, kerjaya, gereja, bahkan Malaysia! Dan berita baiknya: api tidak perlu padam hanya kerana usia bertambah. Seperti kata seorang hamba Tuhan berusia 70 tahun — "There may be snow on the roof, but there is fire in the fireplace." Yesus ingin membaptiskan anda dengan Roh Kudus dan api yang akan mengubah hidup anda selama-lamanya. ________________________________ What is it that you want most in life — money, a life partner, the opportunity to migrate, a successful career? In this episode, Pastor Kenneth Chin delivers a powerful message titled "God Answers By Fire" — reminding us that before God gives us what we ask for, He wants to give us fire first. Because what is the point of any of it without the fire of God? Without fire, we will use everything He gives us only for ourselves — and slowly drift away from Him. The fire of God changes everything it touches — family, career, church, even Malaysia! And the good news is: the fire does not have to go out just because we grow older. As a 70-year-old man of God once said — "There may be snow on the roof, but there is fire in the fireplace." Jesus wants to baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire that will change your life forever.
