The book of revelation is the last of the sixty-six books of the Bible. As such, it is the concluding word of God and therefore occupies a special position. Whereas a blessing is attached to its reading, a curse is pronounced against anyone adding to its text—thus reflecting how very important is this book of God's word. The content of this present work comprises the text of what were two separate series of messages on Revelation spoken by the author in, respectively, the year 2007 and back during the 1950s. After these many years, and inasmuch as we sense the return of the Lord Jesus to ...

Stephen Kaung goes through seven visions of Christ that are revealed in the book of Revelation. All of the prophecies given are meant to bring us to the testimony of Jesus (Revelation 19:10). The many and varied details are simply part of the background to the sight of Christ. God also wants us to not only see Christ but to see Him in light of our current time, the end of days. With vision, we will no longer "cast off restraint" (Proverbs 29:18) but will instead be transformed and enabled to help bring in His kingdom.

“Where is Jehovah, the God of Elijah?” This is our shared prayer with Elisha, as we, too, must step out on our journey with the Lord (see II Kings 2:14). We have heard of the tremendous life and ministry of the prophet Elijah. We must also see how it continues in the life and ministry of Elisha. We cannot separate these two men. Their lives were both totally abandoned to God, so that they became serviceable to their Master. Their ministries were also one and the same. Elijah’s ministry was on the side of judgment and death, while Elisha’s was on the side of grace and resurrection ...

Why do the righteous suffer? This is an age-long dilemma. The human soul agitates over it. Man's wisdom endeavors to solve it. But God alone has the right answer. In the book of Job, God reveals the hidden purpose behind the suffering of the righteous. For suffering is unto sonship. Through suffering we grow into such a living knowledge of God that delivers us from self and fills us with Christ. Let all who suffer find comfort and strength in listening to The Splendor of His Ways.

“… Lord, teach us to pray …” Luke 11:1 As the Lord’s people, the church is called to pray—it is a calling, a right, and a great privilege. There is no calling or power greater than prayer. Prayer links the church to God. “Let thy will be done as in heaven so upon the earth.” When the Lord burdens our heart to pray, we soon realize that we do not know how—it is not in us to pray. It causes us to turn to our Lord and cry out: “Lord, teach us to pray; we need to learn to take up Your burdens; teach us.” In Richmond, Virginia, from February 1981 through October 1982, ...

Shepherding is one of the important functions in the church. It is not only one of the gifted people whom God gives to the church for the perfecting of the saints (see Ephesians 4:11-12 where pastors should be shepherds) It is also one of the main functions of the elders of the church (see I Peter 5:1). Indeed, it is expected of all the spiritual members of the church to be engaged in such a work. Our Lord’s words to Peter were “feed my lambs”, “shepherd my sheep”, and “feed my sheep” (see John 21:15-17). For this reason, it is required of us to know what the functions of ...

These fifteen Songs of Degrees are songs of ascents. They immortalize the spiritual experiences of ascents of the soul. In our seeking for union with God in life, we pass through different stages of growth such as purification, enlightenment and union. In each step, there are lessons to learn. May all who seek for a closer walk with God be encouraged by this meditation of these songs.

What is the concern of your heart today? Is it that since you live comfortably, you do not care for the testimony of Jesus? True, it will be difficult for those who want to maintain the testimony of Jesus. Your brothers and sisters are already on the verge of spiritual annihilation. Do you give yourself to prayer for the Lord’s testimony? God’s call to his people today is to come out of the complexity and the perplexity of the world (Babylon) and return to the simplicity that is in Christ (Jerusalem), gathering together unto his name.

Christianity is Jesus Christ. It is not the teaching, doctrine, system, or organization of Christ. Rather, it is Jesus Christ himself. We need to see him as God sees him. Yet this can only come about by revelation from above. The Holy Spirit will reveal Jesus to us. And when we do see him as God sees him, we will fall down and worship. Such, then, is the intent of this series of messages, whose overarching theme is best summed up in the author's choice of title to the entire series: "But We See Jesus" (Hebrews 2:9a).

God is working to recover His kingdom on this earth. Our Lord Jesus came into this world to re-establish God’s authority. As the church of God, do we know that it is through the obedience of the church to the authority of God, that He is to recover the whole earth? In this book, Stephen Kaung addresses these matters and many spiritual principles from God’s Word. His spoken ministry on the themes of Spiritual Authority, Spiritual House, and Spiritual Submission, given at the Northeast Christian Weekend Conferences, is compiled here in the second volume of Concerning Spirituals.

Thank God, through the redemptive work of Christ, we Christians are to have our families restored to God's original purpose. This short series of messages, delivered by the author before a gathering of God's people in Washington, DC, beginning in September 1974, is therefore being published as a way of helping Christian believers elsewhere to see and carry out God's purpose for the family. May the Lord bless all who listen to this volume.

Just like pouring out precious ointment, our dear brother Stephen Kaung ministered these five messages on being a spiritual leader as shown through the life of David, the man after God’s own heart. He uses David’s experiences to show four essential qualities necessary for spiritual leaders in the church—those who are fit for kingship and capable of leading and helping others. Spiritual leadership is of vital importance in the church today. As our brother shares: What the church lacks today is a group of individuals fit to be spiritual leaders. Today, many are saved, but the church is ...

Of the one hundred and fifty Psalms, there are twelve attributed to the sons of Korah. They were special Psalms to be sung by special people. The mercy of God had spared them from the destruction that their ancestor Korah had deserved (see Numbers 16). They went through death and out of death into resurrection life. They became the children of mercy and grace—sons of the cross. Through this experience of the cross, they appreciated God uniquely and were called to be the doorkeepers and singers in His temple. They dedicated themselves to God in a living way. Out of the abundance of their ...

“Wisdom hath built her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars” of support. So declared the book of Proverbs (9:1), whose author was Solomon, the wise King of Israel. Christ is the wisdom of God manifested from heaven on earth by the divine act of the Incarnation. And like Solomon of old who, through the wisdom granted to him from heaven, built the magnificent physical house of God—the temple in Jerusalem; just so, the “greater than Solomon”—even Christ himself (Matthew 12:42c ASV)—is today continuing to build God’s spiritual house, which is the church, the body of Christ...

The life of Moses is most inspiring. At a certain point in that life he was called by God to be "My servant." Indeed, living for 120 years, Moses' servanthood was divided into three periods of 40 years each. During the first 40 years Moses tried to serve God according to his own way—which was the way he had learned from the world. So, during the second 40 years of his life, which was spent entirely out in the desert wilderness of Midian, Moses had to unlearn all he had learned previously, and also he had to learn God. Finally, throughout the entire concluding 40-year period of his long ...

Haggai prophesied for four months, taking three different days to speak five short utterances. Though he began when he was an old man, Haggai’s brief prophecies helped the remnant of Israel finish rebuilding the temple. In I Corinthians 14, we are told that a prophecy speaks words to edify, encourage, and comfort (see v.3). In this volume, Stephen Kaung goes through Haggai’s two chapters in these three prophetic ways. He sees Haggai encouraging us first by a challenge not to give up but to repent and begin again to build. This will please and glorify the Lord. Then there are words of ...

As the Corinthians turned from their carnal ways back to their calling of fellowship, spiritual life was before them. To continue to strengthen them in this past the apostle Paul helped them to understand what a spiritual man is by his own example. II Corinthians is a type of autobiography of the apostle Paul. In this book, Stephen Kaung looks into spiritual life, spiritual ministry, spiritual giving, and finally the spiritual man. "I know a man in Christ ..." (II Corinthians 12:2).
