Celebration of the Father
“Behold, two of them were going that very day to a village named Emmaus, which was sixty stadia from Jerusalem. They talked with each other about all of these things which had happened. While they talked and questioned together, Jesus himself came near, and went with them. But their eyes were kept from recognizing him. He said to them, “What are you talking about as you walk, and are sad?” One of them, named Cleopas, answered him, “Are you the only stranger in Jerusalem who doesn’t know the things which have happened there in these days?” He said to them, “Foolish men, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken! Didn’t the Christ have to suffer these things and to enter into his glory?” Beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, he explained to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself. They said to one another, “Weren’t our hearts burning within us, while he spoke to us along the way, and while he opened the Scriptures to us?” They rose up that very hour, returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and those who were with them, saying, “The Lord is risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!”” (Luke 24:13-18, 25-27, 32-34 WEB)
Did you ever wonder why out of the two disciples on the road to Emmaus, only one of them was named while the other remained anonymous?
Therefore, I believe that the name “Cleopas” is crucial to understanding the significance of this passage.
Cleopas is an abbreviated form of the name Cleopatros, made of the two Greek words “kleos” (to celebrate) and pater (father). Cleopas means “celebration of the father”.
Let us see what Jesus did in the passage. He told the two discouraged disciples all about the things concerning Himself in the Old Testament Scriptures, and how He fulfilled them all at the cross.
It was a celebration of the Father, praising Him for His glorious plan of salvation that was once hidden and is now revealed through the prophets, apostles, and the other writers of the Scriptures.
When Jesus celebrated the Father with the two disciples, their hearts “burned”, likely with faith, hope, and love in response to the love and grace of God. They experienced an “Emmaus” (meaning: hot springs) in their hearts, washing away the unbelief and refreshing their spirits.
They were no longer depressed and despondent. Instead, they were filled with hope, and energized in their bodies and souls. Having just walked a long way from Jerusalem to Emmaus, they immediately set off on a journey back to announce the good news they had seen and heard.
This world needs “Cleopas”—a celebration of the Father. They need to hear about a Father God who is gracious and full of love, who freely offers salvation through Jesus Christ His Son. They need to hear that He wants to be a Father near to them and not a Judge far off; that He is reconciling the world to Himself through Jesus, welcoming them home.
“But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ, and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation; namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses, and having committed to us the word of reconciliation. We are therefore ambassadors on behalf of Christ, as though God were entreating by us: we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. For him who knew no sin he made to be sin on our behalf; so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.” (2 Corinthians 5:18-21 WEB)
Anytime you are feeling down, you can initiate a celebration of the Father. It will cleanse you from unbelief, refresh your spirit, fill your heart with hope, and energize your body and soul!

Fruitfulness Through the Holy Spirit
“He said therefore, “A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. He called ten servants of his, and gave them ten mina coins, and told them, ‘Conduct business until I come.’ But his citizens hated him, and sent an envoy after him, saying, ‘We don’t want this man to reign over us.’ “When he had come back again, having received the kingdom, he commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by conducting business. The first came before him, saying, ‘Lord, your mina has made ten more minas.’ “He said to him, ‘Well done, you good servant! Because you were found faithful with very little, you shall have authority over ten cities.’ “The second came, saying, ‘Your mina, Lord, has made five minas.’ “So he said to him, ‘And you are to be over five cities.’” (Luke 19:12-19 WEB)
It seems like with every passing day, we are so much nearer to the time of Jesus’ return.
Yet, the Lord does not want us to be idle just because we sense His impending return.
He wants us to bear good fruit through the Holy Spirit that we have received.
The world needs to hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and experience the power of the Holy Spirit who resides in us.
Did you notice how each of the ten servants received the same amount of one mina?
The mina being the same, could represent the same Holy Spirit that every believer receives upon salvation.
The first servant’s mina gained ten more minas, whereas the second servant’s mina gained five more minas.
I like how the servants gave credit to the mina for the gain, and did not draw attention to themselves.
It is like wisely recognizing that fruitfulness is not by strength, not by power, but by the Spirit of the Lord.
The first servant’s reward was in proportion with the results he produced through the mina. For gaining ten minas, he received authority over ten cities. For gaining five minas, the second servant received authority over five cities.
All ten servants each received one mina initially, but their rewards were different, depending on their end results.
This shows that salvation is the same for all believers who place their faith in Jesus as Lord, but our eternal rewards will be measured based on our good works.
““Behold, I come quickly. My reward is with me, to repay to each man according to his work.” (Revelation 22:12 WEB)
Good works come in many forms, and generally anything done for Abba God and Jesus with faith, hope, and love, are considered good works.
The Lord Jesus is your Rewarder. Are you ready to received authority over cities and other spheres of His kingdom during the Millennium and beyond?
Learn all about eternal rewards and how to maximize them, in my debut book “Sandcastles Don’t Last Forever”. It is truly a relevant read for this end-time generation. Allow the Holy Spirit to show you revelations of what awaits us beyond this mortal life, and the true riches in glory that will be given to believers who wisely make preparations now: http://bit.ly/sandcastlesdontlastforever

We've lost count of the challenges everyone has faced in 2020 that has cast darkness on many people's lives. Besides the very real struggles in our day-to-day life, we know there are also fears and mind games that can be hard to shake off.
But the truth is, in the midst of the darkness, Jesus' light is right here and it shines even brighter. ✨ As His light pierces through every bit of darkness, it brings His life and love into the situation and into your heart. And in all of this, we have an unshakable hope that God loves us and is working everything together for our good (see Rom. 8:28).
We want to encourage you to look around for those who are surrounded by darkness and in search of hope. During this time when we can do so many things unhindered by time and space (such as watching service online!), why not invite a friend or someone you cross paths with to attend a service or church gathering online?
This Christmas season, be bold, reach out and gift a friend/loved one/colleague/neighbor a personal encounter with the Light of the world who came to bring joy, love, and peace. You never know, they might just receive a rhema word for their situation or have the encounter with Jesus that they need right now! ?
We are praying and believing with you that even as you gather the courage to share Jesus with your friends, their hearts will be open and softened to receive Him. ❤️

for my little lover...
and to everyone who needs a little more love ❤️
We all might feel stuck or lost in life sometimes, not knowing where we are heading...because we cannot see what is ahead of us...and we could feel worried, scared and frustrated....That's how I felt when my son was diagnosed with autism since he was a small boy....
Step by step, we walked together...and he is now a big boy who just turned 14 years old in July 2020...When I look back, I feel very proud of every baby little step we made together...Coz I didn't know but I just had to keep going for him, and for us. And now I know...the little steps could bring us together and farther ahead if we just keep going...There are still a lot of challenges ahead for us....but we will just keep walking...like we have always....not knowing where we are heading...
So I decided to make this animation video for my little lover. I wish, one day, when he can understands the world better, he will remember all the little things that meant to us...and he could feel the love in this little song that I wrote for him and this beautiful animation.
So...me and Little Lover Ethan would like to send you hope and love and blessings through this Little Song....
這是一首我為小情人寫的歌
也是小情人給我靈感去分享給你們的歌
看著他一天一天的成長
他讓我學習什麼事情都可以從一小步開始
a little little step
do a little little more
生命就會一點一點不一樣

《A Little Song》
Music, Lyrics & Performed by Vicky Fung
Give me a little little love
It's been a little little tough
Hold me a little little close
To hear a story never told
Give me a little little time
Give it a little little try
Just give a little little more
Together walking through the door....
That's how I sing along
Daladada daladada
Ooo...hoo
Sing a little song
Daladada daladada
I've been away a little long
Sometimes it's right it could be wrong
I take a little little breath
And make a little baby step
This road a little little long
I sing this little little song
I grow a little little strong
You give me strength to carry on...
That's how I sing along
Daladada daladada
U...
Sing this little song
Daladada daladada
Oh......
I smile a little song
I cry a little song
Daladada daladada
Oh......
I taste a little song
I touch a little song
Daladada daladada
Oh......
I dance a little song
Daladada daladada
Oh.....
Breathe a little song
Live a little song
