Distance is Not An Issue
“For though I am absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, rejoicing and seeing your order, and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ.” (Colossians 2:5 WEB)
At that time, there was no Internet technology. There was no way to hop on a Zoom online conference call to speak to the churches. Instead, the apostle Paul saw visions of the churches in his spirit, and that is how he could see their order and steadfastness of faith. Having the Holy Spirit in us is like being connected to the Internet. We are connected to all the knowledge and power that God has.
Nowadays, the local church that I attend is not allowed to hold in-person church services due to government regulations. As a result, all services are held through online broadcast instead.
Although I miss sitting in the physical services, worshipping the Lord together with other believers, I believe that online services are no less powerful than in-person ones.
Many people are more comfortable with ‘the human touch’, such as receiving prayer in person, having a pastor to place his hand upon them while praying, but this physical contact is actually not absolutely necessary.
In His second miracle, Jesus demonstrated that the power of the Holy Spirit is not limited by distance.
“Jesus came therefore again to Cana of Galilee, where he made the water into wine. There was a certain nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum. When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to him, and begged him that he would come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death. Jesus therefore said to him, “Unless you see signs and wonders, you will in no way believe.” The nobleman said to him, “Sir, come down before my child dies.” Jesus said to him, “Go your way. Your son lives.” The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way. As he was now going down, his servants met him and reported, saying “Your child lives!” So he inquired of them the hour when he began to get better. They said therefore to him, “Yesterday at the seventh hour, the fever left him.” So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said to him, “Your son lives.” He believed, as did his whole house. This is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judea into Galilee.” (John 4:46-54 WEB)
Jesus was in Cana, while the sick boy was in Capernaum. Just by speaking the words “your son lives” in faith, the power of the Holy Spirit healed the boy from a long distance away. Jesus did not have to lay hands on the child in order for him to be healed.
The nobleman initially thought that Jesus had to go to his house before the son could be healed. However, when Jesus released the words, “Go your way, your son lives,” the nobleman believed, and that was enough to receive the healing in proxy for his son.
We know that the nobleman believed because he met Jesus at the seventh hour (between 1 - 2pm). Cana and Capernaum are about 25 miles apart (about 6 - 8 hours walking distance) so if the nobleman set off immediately, he could be back home the same day at night to check on his son.
However, we see that the nobleman only spoke to his servant the next day. This means that the nobleman stayed at an inn or something for a night, and trusted that his son had been healed. If he had been unbelieving, he would have rushed home right away so as not to miss his son’s last moments, since he was “at the point of death”.
There are other long-distance healing miracles like this one, such as Jesus healing the Roman centurion’s servant, and Jesus healing the Syrophoenician woman’s demon-possessed daughter.
Continue to feed on the rhema word that God is releasing in season. Whether online or in-person, God’s power is still fully effective, and is not limited by the distance or channel.
As long as you hear or read, believing it, you shall experience the manifestation of the rhema word.
In the nobleman’s son’s case, the word in season was “your son lives”.
Earlier this year, I felt like I was coming down with a flu. I was sneezing repeatedly and my nose was dripping. I felt weak and irritable.
As I was praying in tongues and also asking Jesus to heal me and make me well, suddenly I heard these words in my spirit: “he grew strong through faith”.
Instantly, I knew that the Holy Spirit was talking about the apostle Paul’s description of Abraham in “Romans”.
“Yet, looking to the promise of God, he didn’t waver through unbelief, but grew strong through faith, giving glory to God, and being fully assured that what he had promised, he was also able to perform.” (Romans 4:21 WEB)
This was a rhema word for me to be healed. I grabbed it and repeatedly confessed and meditated on this, that I was growing strong through faith.
Abraham grew physically stronger through faith. He was already old and weak, but because he believed in the rhema word which God spoke to him, he and his wife Sarah experienced drastic youth renewal.
Their saggy skin, old internal organs, weak muscles, and dry bones were all renewed miraculously, allowing them to be fit for childbearing and even raising a child.
As I kept confessing “he didn’t consider the deadness of his own body, but he grew strong through faith,” I felt physically better and I did not sneeze or have runny nose anymore.
It was just a few words, but I emphasized on the “grew” and “strong”. Suddenly, each word was pregnant with life-giving power for my situation.
Faith comes through hearing the rhema word of Christ. What is He saying to you? As you are listening to a sermon video online, what is the key message or statement that jumps out at you and makes a strong impression in you heart? Sometimes the Lord whispers a verse or passage to you from within. Grab it and declare it for yourself because it carries the miracle-working power of God to turn your situation around!
Actionable Steps:
1. Get yourself plugged in to a ministry that preaches the Gospel. Listen to the new messages released by the pastor or preacher. If the Holy Spirit led you there, then you will benefit from believing the rhema words that is released through that ministry.
2. Train your mind to believe in the limitless reach of prayer. Pray for people who are far away from you, knowing that God will answer your prayers of faith, regardless of the distance between you and them.
3. When you receive a word in season (rhema word), write it down in your notebook or somewhere so that you do not forget. Revisit these words often and declare them, so long as you are still waiting for the manifestation.

Saya telah melawat Pusat Penyimpanan Vaksin di Hospital Permai, Johor Bahru pada hari ini (Rabu, 14 Julai 2021) untuk memeriksa proses pengedaran vaksin Covid-19 ke pusat-pusat pemberian vaksin (PPV) di Johor. Saya juga telah mengadakan perbincangan dengan YB Vidyananthan A/L Ramanadhan, EXCO Kesihatan dan Alam Sekitar, YB Datuk Onn Hafiz bin Ghazi, EXCO Pelancongan, Belia dan Sukan, dan YB Dato’ Haji Mohd Noh bin Ibrahim, Timbalan Setiausaha Kerajaan Johor.
Saya telah menitahkan agar program vaksinasi di semua daerah di Johor diberi keutamaan supaya imuniti kelompok boleh dicapai secepat mungkin. Pada masa yang sama, saya telah menasihati agar proses logistik pengedaran vaksin ke PPV dipercepatkan dan supaya bekalan vaksin di PPV sentiasa mencukupi. Bilangan lokasi PPV dan pegawai-pegawai perubatan juga patut ditambah bagi meliputi seluruh negeri Johor.
Saya juga sempat menyaksikan penerimaan bekalan vaksin Pfizer yang akan diedarkan ke PPV dalam masa terdekat. Sukacita ingin saya maklumkan bahawa sebanyak 83% Bangsa Johor telah berjaya mendaftar untuk menerima vaksin. Bagi mereka yang belum, saya ingin menyeru kepada anda untuk mendaftar secepat mungkin. Saya ulangi, jika imuniti kelompok dapat dicapai, maka pemulihan ekonomi Johor dapat bermula.
Saya ingin mengucapkan terima kasih kepada Kementerian Sains, Teknologi dan Inovasi serta Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia kerana telah memberi Kerjasama untuk mempercepatkan program vaksinasi di semua daerah di Johor.
Akhir sekali, saya ingin mengucapkan terima kasih kepada para barisan hadapan atas khidmat dan pengorbanan anda semua dalam menyelamatkan nyawa rakyat. Semoga Allah sentiasa melindungi dan merahmati para barisan hadapan. Allah Peliharakan Sultan.
DYAM Mejar Jeneral Tunku Ismail Ibni Sultan Ibrahim, Tunku Mahkota Johor

I visited the Vaccine Storage Center at Permai Hospital, Johor Bahru today (Wednesday, 14 July 2021) to inspect the distribution of Covid-19 vaccines to vaccination centers (PPV) in Johor. During the visit, I also had a meeting with Health and Environment EXCO YB Vidyananthan A/L Ramanadhan, Tourism, Youth and Sports EXCO YB Dato' Onn Hafiz bin Ghazi and Johor Deputy State Secretary YB Dato' Haji Mohd Noh bin Ibrahim.
I have decreed that the vaccination programmes throughout Johor be accelerated to achieve herd immunity as soon as possible. At the same time, I advised that the logistical process of vaccine distribution to the PPVs be expedited and that the supply of vaccines at PPVs must be sufficient as well as the need to have an adequate number of PPVs to cover the entire state of Johor.
I also witnessed the receiving of the Pfizer vaccine supply that would be distributed to PPVs in the near future. I am pleased to inform that 83% of Bangsa Johor have successfully registered to receive the vaccine. To those who haven’t, I would like to urge you to sign up as soon as possible. Again, I would like to stress that if herd immunity can be achieved, then Johor’s economic recovery can begin.
I would like to thank the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation,
and the Ministry of Health Malaysia for their cooperation to expedite the vaccination programme in all districts in Johor.
Finally, I would like to thank all frontliners for their service and sacrifice in saving the lives of the rakyat. May Allah always protect and bless the frontliners. Allah Peliharakan Sultan.
HRH Major General Tunku Ismail Ibni Sultan Ibrahim, Crown Prince of Johor

(See the end of Chinese paragraphs for English translation.)
今天(6/30)上午品安和 宋國鼎律師 苗栗縣議員 、邱顯智立委一起和代表菲律賓政府的馬尼拉經濟文化辦事處(MECO)留文克代理代表(Gilberto F. Lauengco)、高雄分處賴愛仁處長(Irene S. Ng)、台中分處勞工部比恩賽波主任(Bienvenido. A. Cerbo Jr.)及佳蕊副主任(Rosario C. Burayag)會面,並在下午陪同MECO的貴賓一起到縣府與陳斌山秘書長、勞工及青年發展處彭德俊處長及勞工服務科楊文東科長會談。
苗栗縣內移工共有近2萬3千人,其中產業類移工有1萬5千多人,而菲籍移工就佔苗栗縣移工人數約三分之一。MECO代理代表留文克昨天曾和越南、印尼、泰國的駐台代表開會討論,此行除了關心近期京元電子及盛華仲介處理移工宿舍降載搬遷的問題,與縣府極具爭議性的移工禁足令之外,也提出建立溝通平台的建議,希望透過移工、MECO、仲介/雇主及縣府的共同參與,傾聽移工的訴求,再由MECO和縣府一起與仲介/雇主協調,協助解決相關問題。
今天見到MECO的貴賓們,品安其實覺得很汗顏。過去幾週以來,品安雖然對縣府的移工禁足令提出質疑,也盡力敦促縣府要求仲介和雇主改善宿舍降載過程中產生的問題,但還是發生了許多讓移工朋友權利受損的不愉快事件,甚至鬧上了國際媒體版面。
目前縣府針對移工的禁足令已經取消,回到三級警戒,但接下來京元電子富比一宿舍違法的改善工作仍亟待關注。據瞭解,京元電子和盛華仲介正在尋找適合的宿舍,預計這週末仍有將近四百位移工需要再遷移。這幾天品安也接到許多移工朋友們的訊息,表達不想搬遷的訴求,品安知道移工經歷前一次混亂的降載搬遷都很驚慌,但實在不容許再讓移工朋友們繼續住在有安全疑慮的違法宿舍裡。
台灣移工防疫的工作在中央由勞動部主管,勞動部卻把責任都推到雇主和仲介身上。品安也相信業者們都因此遇到許多困難,這點勞動部真的應該多加油。而苗栗縣移工的狀況接下來將有MECO的協助,希望京元電子和盛華仲介妥善處理好搬遷及防疫的相關工作,品安也會繼續與MECO合作,傾聽移工朋友們的聲音,敦促縣府,大家一起努力。
In Wednesday (June 30) morning, I met with MECO's Acting Resident Representative Mr. Gilberto F. Lauengco, Kaoshiung Extenstion Office's Director Ms. Irene S. Ng, Philippine Overseas Labor Office's Director Mr. Bienvenido. A. Cerbo Jr. and Deputy Director Ms. Rosario C. Burayag along with my councilor colleague and a legislator. I also accompanied MECO's visit to Miaoli County Government the same afternoon, where we met with its Secretary General Chen, Director Peng of Youth and Labor Development Division and the Division's Section Chief Yang of Labor Services.
There are close to 23,000 migrant workers in Miaoli (over 15,000 work as industry labors). Among all these migrant workers, about one third are from the Philippines. Mr. Lauengco had previously discussed this visit with representatives of Vietnam, Indonesia and Thailand on Tuesday, and they all expressed concerns through MECO on the issues in relation to the recent capacity reduction and relocation of KYEC and Senhua dormitories, and on the County Government's controversial movement prohibitions against migrant workers. MECO also proposed a communications platform where the participation of workers, MECO, brokers/employers and the County Government could facilitate the workers' voice being heard, and relevant issues could be resolved with MECO and the County Government's joint mediation efforts with the brokers/employers.
I was actually rather embarrassed during the meeting with MECO. Over the past few weeks I have publicly questioned the County Government's movement prohibitions against migrant workers, and have done my best in asking, through the County Government, that the brokers and employers correct the issues resulting from dormitory capacity reduction. Despite this, several incidents still occurred in which the workers' rights were compromised, and were even covered by international media.
The movement prohibition is now cancelled and alert level 3 measures currently apply. However, the corrective actions required in relation to KYEC's Fullbee 1 dormitories, which violate government regulations, still require urgent attention. Sources indicate that KYEC and Senhua are currently looking for suitable replacement dormitories, and are expected to relocate close to 400 workers this weekend. I have received several messages from the workers, who do not wish to be moved, but while I understand that the workers may be shaken after the last chaotic relocation, we really cannot allow them to keep staying at dormitories which are against regulations and with safety concerns.
Epidemic prevention in relation to migrant workers is the jurisdiction of Ministry of Labor in the central government, but the Ministry is placing all responsibilities on the employers and brokers. I understand that all these employers and brokers must have encountered many challenges for this reason, and the Ministry should really work on improvements in this regard. As for Miaoli's migrant workers, MECO will now provide assistance, and I hope that KYEC and Senhua could manage the upcoming relocation and the associated epidemic prevention work. Going forward, I will also continue to work, both with MECO and through the Country Government, on this issue with the workers' voice in mind.

不知道你們有沒有發現,這幾年更多外國人來台灣工作,其實一個好的國家總是有能力吸引不同領域的人才來就業。這次我特別參加由教育部青年發展署Young飛全球行動計畫團隊所舉辦的「Get Hired in Taiwan」 workshop。
這支影片中,我特地訪問來自各國的外國朋友,發現外國人想要在台灣工作的原因不只是有一個,首先安全的環境、醫療服務、穩定的經濟等等!,而且台灣的地理位置跟文化也是吸引外國人的原因!
這個計畫還有很多年輕人有很棒的想法!像是影片下一段有台灣年輕人自創學台語的教育方式 😄 又好玩又簡單!如果你們對國際參與及議題行動也有興趣,歡迎報名參加下年度的Young飛全球行動計畫培訓營👉https://lihi1.cc/OS40L 🙏請幫我把這支影片分享出去,讓世界看見台灣年輕人的力量💪
With the help of Youth Development Administration, Ministry of Education, Taiwan's youth is working even harder to create more opportunities for the future.
I joined an amazing workshop and a language class with these young talents and witnessed their creativity.
Taiwan’s youth leaders want to reach out to the world and attract more foreigners to come to Taiwan for new working opportunities. Also, they have created a fun way of teaching to inherit Taiwanese language to next generation.
Taiwan is a land where offers one of the best health care services, education, safe environment, high income, cultural diversity and more❤️ ❤️
