It was 2009 when I came to Singapore. At that time, I was looking for a Church that had excellent praise and worship in English, good sermon, healings, deliverance, etc. I tried few Churches, but among them I found the Praise and Worship awesome at the City Harvest Church. The anointing of God was powerful. People soaked in the Presence of God. It was this factor that attracted me to the City Harvest Church. Pastor Kong was sensitive to God’s Presence. He led the people into worship, prayed for healing, deliverance. I have seen lives transformed through God’s power in this Church. The service to the poor and needy, encouraging people into discipleship, evangelism, inviting pastors and leaders from across the world, mission work – This is what attracts me to the City Harvest Church.
However, around 2010, news of financial irregularities within the church came to light. It was revealed that the CHC board had made some financial missteps.
It was sad to see the entire church leadership come under relentless attack from both Christians and non-Christians in Singapore. Despite this, the church displayed remarkable resilience—standing united, continuing daily prayers, and maintaining fellowship. While many chose to leave, a faithful few remained.
I firmly believe that Pastor Kong is an anointed man of God. Having attended the church regularly, I am convinced that these mistakes were not made with malicious intent to deceive but were rather the result of certain individuals like “wolves in sheep’s clothing,” within the church’s leadership board.
We must never speak ill of God’s anointed servants. Consider the life of David. Even when Saul sought to kill him, David never cursed or spoke ill of Saul. In fact, he went so far as to execute the Amalekite who claimed to have killed Saul. Why? Because David respected the anointing upon Saul’s life. As it is written in 1 Samuel 31:14, David asked, “Why were you not afraid to lift your hand to destroy the Lord’s anointed?”
Similarly, reflect on the life of Judas. Jesus never spoke evil of Judas, even though He knew Judas would betray Him. Why? Because Judas, too, had once been anointed.
As for Pastor Kong, I believe he remains an anointed man of God. God is still in control of City Harvest Church. It is His body, and He will refine it like a refiner’s fire, purging all impurities until we shine forth as pure gold.
I faithfully attended CHC services until 2018 but later decided to join a smaller church with members from my home state, Kerala.
