Then the Messenger-Angel said, "This is God's message to Zerubbabel: 'Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit,' says the Lord Almighty. 'You will succeed because of My Spirit, though you are few and weak.'"

b) Excerpt 7 from "The Chronicles of Wuhan (China) Journey: The First Wave"

i) Wuhan City, China

1. Wuhan, the sprawling capital of Central China's Hubei province, is a commercial center divided by the Yangtze and Han rivers.

2. Wuhan City comprises three districts—Wuchang, Hankou, and Hanyang—and contains many lakes and parks, including the expansive, picturesque East Lake. Its population was 11.08 million as of 2018.

ii) Why China?

1. Because the people of China are so hungry for God! They want a touch of God in His tangible presence and heavy anointing.

2. Everything we did in times past was solely for the Lord. We went to China at our own expense, with some help from concerned brothers and sisters in Christ. Our primary goal was to respond to God's assignments in His divine timing.

3. We went in full measure of faith that He would take care of us. He did! He never failed. We enjoyed the hospitality and love shown by the local pastors. Praise God!

4. On each trip we took, we did not have the slightest idea where we would minister. We submitted ourselves to the local pastor, who would arrange ministry time in whatever local house church he chose. All we knew was to go in His time. Amen!

5. We knew what God's assignment was even before we left for China. We were like ambassadors for Him, delivering His royal edict for that season. We knew our spiritual position in Christ. Because of that, many wonderful things happened to the church that opened herself to our ministry. It was awesome to see and experience the mighty move of the Holy Spirit when we allowed Him to have His own way in the assembly of His people.

iii) Why Me?

1. I have often wondered, "Why me?" I cannot speak Mandarin—only English well. There are people out there more eager to go to China. Why give this assignment to me?

2. I realize that when the Lord calls you, He never makes any mistakes. He knows you, and you alone can fulfill His assignment.

3. Do not look at your inadequacy. Count it a privilege that God would call you for such an assignment.

Glory to Yeshua.
