New Beginnings (Planting)

Its has been a while since I wrote something on this blog. I am back!! Me and my wife are now in the process of planting a church. I have been running around this calling for a long time and now it is time to get back. Last year I was in the process of registering the Church and I just felt from the Lord not to go ahead with it. The Lord then led me to a church where I served as one of the Pastors. When I felt the Lord wanted me to go back to planting a church after He led me to the church I have been in for the past year I was surprised. I was comfortable at this church.

Everything thing is now coming together and I can see clearly what the Lord wants me to do at this particular moment in time. I have learned a lot of lessons on my way to making this decision, some were hard and some not so hard. The Lord can use anyone and anything to mold us. I appreciate all the seasons I have went through until this point.

I humbly ask for your prayers as I enter into this new season of my life. I want to be a true vessel of the Lord and I don't want to be overtaken by any contrary spirit. It is my desire for the children of God to be filled with New wine, but in order to be filled with New wine, we need to have new wine skins as well (Luke 5:38 "But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved") Our problem is that sometimes we put new wine into old wine skins. More about this in my post for next week. I will have posts every Monday Lord willing.

Our first service will be on Sunday the 24th at 1030am-12pm then every Sunday after that.

Angry Unhappy Christians

Unfortunately its true, we do have angry and unhappy Christians. I always wonder why its like that. God promises us joy, peace and happiness and yet we still have a lot of angry unhappy Christians. I believe it’s time we re-evaluate our Christianity. Christianity is not supposed to be a bondage and a burden. It’s supposed to give us life in abundance. , We have a people who are Christians out of duty and not out of a free will and love for God. People are just afraid of going to hell and they are teaching other people fear and bondage instead of love and freedom. Bondage brings hatred, anger and unhappiness. It saddens me to see my brethren suffering and not enjoying Christianity. This week I encourage you to lighten up and stop judging everyone that comes your way. This week I encourage you to let go and let God be . Lets re-evaluate our Christianity, why are we Christians?

He has been given the Platform

It is very painful and upsetting to see how the devil has been given a platform to show what he can do and what he is capable of. He has been given a platform right here in the church. He plainly tells us that he comes in the form of water spirits, witchcraft, snake spirits etc. He proudly manifests himself and our church leaders are happy when it happens. Our church leaders sometimes talk to these demons and play around with the them. Its simply a show. I would recommend that leaders just cast these demons out instead of giving them a platform. We have to understand that the enemy knows that people will not just listen to him so he will make ways to spread his message and he has found a way to spread his message right in front of our eyes in the church. Our church leaders like this because it causes curiosity and brings a lot of people to the church and that equals tithes and offerings. I was very surprised when watching TV the other day, a preacher in Zimbabwe mentioned that he wen...

He Protects

Ladies and gentleman, it is true. God does protect His own. If you desire protection from any force that may come against you, God is the answer. He is the one who constantly protects us. If we move ahead of God and never allow Him to surround us, we will definitely miss out on his protection. If you are a child of God I encourage you not to look for protection anywhere else but look for protection from our Father. We are safe under the shadow of His wings. Rest and be at peace knowing that God has got your back.
