being part of the great commission

We had the privilege of teaching on a lifestyle of praise at a bible school (which emphasizes church planting) in late August to 80 students, pastors and church workers. The participants were hungry for the Word, and there was an increase in their understanding of who God is, and who they are in God, as they learnt about how to live a life of praise, and how to worship the Lord in spirit and in truth.

The director of the bible school later shared that the students have been praising God and that there is joy in their lives in the days following the seminar. This was very much what was needed for the students as they had previous been complaining to their leaders and pastors and to one another whenever they faced obstacles and difficulties in their lives. Now they know that the joy of the Lord is indeed their strength.

We also taught for one day at a Discipleship Training Center. There were 40 youths and young adults there. Many of them received revelation from the word of God and caught the spirit of faith as we taught almost 6 hours on the foundations of faith and how to trust God based on His promises.

We are thankful for good interpreters, who themselves were refreshed and encouraged. They shared that they learnt precious lessons even as they interpreted. It was a joy to work together with the Holy Spirit. We ourselves were refreshed by the Lord as we prepared our lessons!

My husband preached at a church on Sunday on “God is El Shaddai". He shared how God cares for us that He provides for our needs, and His provision is overflowing in abundance, just like the widow who was instructed by Elisha to borrow all the containers she could from her neightbours, and pour what little oil she had into those containers. The miracle was that the oil did not run out till every container she had was filled to the brim. She sold the oil, returned all the money owed, and she and her sons lived on the rest. God came through for her because she dared to trust in Him. She obeyed God and showed her faith when she did what the prophet Elisha told her to do, and God blessed her with a mighty miracle for her faith.

The congregation was encouraged and uplifted by God’s goodness. When he gave the altar call at the end of his sermon, 2 visitors to the church accepted Jesus Christ, and about 15 members rededicated their lives to the Lord.

Indeed we are privileged to be part of this great commission.
