Great Evangelist is You

Leave a reply

In remembrance of a great evangelist, also in the spirit of his life’s work: the spread of the Gospel and the salvation of souls.
His story is one of ordinary people carrying the extraordinary flame of faith, a testament to the power of God working through willing hearts.

He wasn’t born a preacher on a grand stage.
He was a student, like some of you, with a month of holiday and a yearning in his heart.
In an unevangelized district, he planted the seeds of faith, and a hundred souls blossomed in response.
This wasn’t a unique feat.
Merchants, hat-makers, students – all became vessels of God’s word, carrying the wondrous story from town to town, building little Christian communities wherever their paths led.

This evangelist rose to unimaginable heights, becoming a household name, a confidante to presidents, and a beacon of hope for millions.
Yet, amidst the accolades and awards, he never forgot the core of his mission: speaking to ordinary people about their souls’ salvation.
He understood that every Christian is a street chapel, a testament to the transformative power of faith.

He wasn’t alone in this journey.
The prayers of his home base, the church family that nurtured him, were the wind beneath his wings.
They wept with him and witnessed the transformation of the sinners grief into a radiant hope.

We may not all stand on grand stages or preach to thousands.
But each of us has a voice, a story to tell, a light to share.
The student who speaks to six people a day, the merchant who whispers the Gospel amidst his wares, the neighbour who offers a kind word – these are the quiet heroes of faith, the foot soldiers in God’s army.

Let us not be daunted by the immensity of the task.
Remember the young evangelist, who sparked a dozen communities.
Like seeds carried by the wind, he found fertile ground in unexpected places.

We are the street chapels in our communities, the merchants of hope in your marketplaces, the students of the Gospel in your daily lives.
Speak to those you meet, share your stories, offer a prayer, and watch the miracles unfold.
For in the quiet acts of faith, in the small seeds of love, lies the power to transform hearts, communities, and the world itself.

Let this great man’s legacy be not just a memory, but a call to action.
Let his life be a torch, passed from hand to hand, illuminating the path towards a world where every soul knows the love and grace of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

Our hearts are heavy with the awareness of the violence and murder that plague our streets.
It is a stark reminder of the brokenness in our world, and we cannot turn a blind eye to the pain and suffering that many endure.

Amidst the challenges we face, I’m compelled to share with you a revelation, a vision of hope that has touched my soul.
I am currently reading a book about a man who is developing electric cars in America.
It speaks to innovation and progress, but it also reminds us that while we strive for advancements in technology, our hearts must be attuned to the deeper matters of the spirit.

We recognize the power of words to influence hearts and minds.
In that vein, let us focus on the power of believing.
In a world filled with despair, we must turn our attention to the source of true hope.

One person found themselves standing in a boat along the seashore of the Sea of Galilee in a vision.
The words resonated:
“In 2024, I am breaking the heavy yoke of oppression and depression that has kept you bound and shackled to the spirit of doubt and unbelief.”

Let these words echo in our hearts.
Let us believe in the power of God to break the chains that bind us, to free us from the yoke of oppression and depression.
As we believe, radical disciples will rise, walking in authority over infirmity and growing in maturity.

The call to revival has historical roots.
In 1784, John Erskine republished Jonathan Edwards’ earnest plea for revival prayer, and evangelical awakenings occurred throughout Wales.
Today, let us echo the sentiment of repentance and revival in our prayers, seeking God’s kingdom to come and His will to be done on earth as it is in heaven.

The power of believing is not just about receiving blessings but also about aligning our hearts with God’s will.
When we say “YES” to God, pride fades away, and our hearts become open vessels for His favour and grace.

In this process of purging and refining, we are becoming the strong Christians we desire to be.
The Bride, purified and devoted, “sees” where her beloved is.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
As we align our vision with God’s, we can act in accordance with His will.

Remember the day God gave you the Gold Medal of His approval.
He approved of your decision, and therefore, He approves of you.
Just like the prodigal son, God celebrates our return to Him.

As we believe, let our faces light up with the radiance of God’s love.
May our believing lead to a transformation that not only impacts our lives but also shines as a beacon of hope in a world desperate for the light of Christ.

The Apostolic Heart

Leave a reply

Building Heaven on Earth

The essence of the apostolic heart: a yearning for heaven on earth, a desire to build communities vibrant with intercession, prayer, and Spirit-led worship.

A Blueprint for the House of God

Jesus himself declared,
“My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations.”
The apostolic heart understands this profound truth.
When a community operates under this true mantle, we witness a transformation. Intercession, fervent prayer, and worship guided by the Holy Spirit become the model and blueprint for the entire House of God.

Every decision, every action, every utterance is bathed in the pursuit of His will.
The Holy Spirit, is guiding the building and development of our communities.

Sound a clarion call for its revival.
I pray that every preacher, every believer, in every corner of the world, may be baptized in the Holy Spirit.

Let us open our hearts to the apostolic fire.
Let us cast aside fear and embrace the transformative power of the Holy Spirit. Let us build communities where prayer ascends like smoke, where worship resounds like thunder, and where the Lord’s presence reigns supreme.

Together, let us create heaven on earth, one fervent prayer, one Spirit-led step at a time.
May the fire of the apostolic heart blaze within us, illuminating the path for generations to come.
“The greatest need of the hour is not more machinery, not more wealth, not more talent, but more of the presence of God in the hearts of His people.” – A.W. Tozer

Step back in time, to a season of revival in a land far away.
Let us journey to China, to a city buzzing with anticipation, where the words of Pastor Ding resonated like a clarion call, drawing crowds to a church overflowing with hope.

At the heart of this awakening stood a man called Pastor Ding, a preacher whose charisma and skill resonated not only with outsiders, but also with the very members of his own church.
He possessed a rare gift – the ability to speak to the yearnings of both the uninitiated and the seasoned believer, his sermons a bridge between hearts seeking God.

On a mission, dispatching a band of thirty workers through the city streets.
They carried my own card, a symbol of trust and invitation, accompanied by printed flyers promising a gathering unlike any other.
We called it the Yen-shuo-hui, yet beneath the familiar name beat the pulse of a distinctively divine service.

Within the church walls, a symphony of devotion unfolded. Hymns soared, prayers ascended, and the scriptures whispered tales of grace.
But at the heart of it all, standing tall and unwavering, was the cross. The very essence of our faith, the sacrifice that transcended time and space, became the cornerstone of every gathering.

Among the many messages etched in memory, two stand out like beacons of light.
One, a sermon titled “The Love of Christ Constraining,” pierced through indifference and ignited the embers of faith within.
Another, titled “My Peace I Leave with You,” resonated even in the soul of the Manchu chief magistrate, who sat beside me that day, captured by the promise of divine tranquillity.

Pastor Ding’s ministry became a testament to the transformative power of God’s word. It transcended boundaries, bridging not only cultural divides but also the walls that separate the seeker from the found.
He reminded us that within each of us resides the potential for a Yen-shuo-hui, a personal revolution sparked by the divine flame of faith.

Let us go forth, not just as church members, but as apostles of hope, carrying the invitation of peace and love to every corner of our world.

May Pastor Ding’s legacy inspire us to build bridges, not walls; to open hearts, not minds; and to embrace the transformative power of faith, both within ourselves and in the world around us.
For in the end, it was the message of the cross that holds the promise of lasting change, of heaven on earth, and of a future bathed in the glorious light of God’s love.

Impress Potential Buyers.

Leave a reply

In recent music history, there was an artist, whose South African fans believed him to be dead.
This singer’s popularity in that isolated country went unnoticed, and the royalties from hundreds of thousands of his albums failed to make their way back to the United States.

It is a stark reminder that our sustenance does not come from earthly things like bread, but rather from the spiritual words that flow from the mouth of God.
As we navigate the challenges of life, we find solace in the promise that “whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.”

Consider the analogy of selling a house.
When preparing to sell, we go above and beyond, fixing things and addressing neglected issues to impress potential buyers.
Similarly, in our obedience to God’s way and strategy, we are called to walk with Him in the garden, in the cool of the day, experiencing a whole new depth where He imparts deeper revelation-secrets of His promises.

At times, it may seem like everything is going wrong.
Yet, it is in these moments of apparent chaos that our light can shine brightest.
Our obedience and alignment with God’s plan can cause others to see us and themselves in a new light.

A prophetic word emerges, signalling a ferocious eviction of the enemy from territories it has occupied in the lives of believers.
It is a swift deliverance, a decisive shift orchestrated by the divine.
The message is clear:
the enemy is being banished, making way for a renewed sense of purpose and freedom in the lives of God’s people.

The Lord speaks with urgency, encouraging us to recognize the significance of the mountain-moving movements taking place.
These endeavours are grander than we realize, and the voice of the Lord echoes, “It’s so much bigger than you think.”
As we partner with Him, holding what may seem like a mere seed, we are called to build a mighty oak.

Now, more than ever, the pressure is on us to rise up and lead the way into a land of fertile ideas.
The divine call is to speak your mind, to heed the divine promptings and let the power of God’s truth guide your actions.

We continue the journey ahead with open hearts, acknowledging that our sustenance comes from the spiritual words that flow from the mouth of God.
May God lead us to a place of profound revelation and purpose.

A realm where we walk in the fullness of all that God has ordained for us in this hour.

The path ahead may appear narrow, and the challenges may seem daunting, but rest assured, it leads to life.
We are called to burn with a first-love fire, a passion that emanates from the very core of our being.

In this pivotal moment, we can carry His Glory.
It is a time of great deliverance.
The refining fire of the Lord is at work.
The Lord is going deeper still; God is raising us up to life.

We, the beautiful Bride of Christ, are being refined for a purpose.
We must retain our “Mojo,” our vitality in the Spirit.
This is God’s plan for our healing, a transition to birthing and building.

Drawing inspiration from Romans chapter 8 verse 16, we are reminded of our identity as children of God, heirs with Christ.
Our values are rooted in our faith, and in this journey, we encounter the concept of “retro”,
old ideas introduced in new ways, reflecting the timeless truths of our faith in contemporary expressions.

When God thunders “BEGIN AGAIN,”
it signifies the redemption of time, bringing forth supernatural restoration, of His spoken promises.
We are called to climb the highest mountains, saying “Yes” to His call, and in doing so, we open ourselves to deep healing.

In the ‘School of the Mouth,’ we learn the significance of what comes out of our hearts and mouths.
As Matthew 12:34 reminds us, “For out of the heart, the mouth speaks.”
Saying “Yes” to God’s call involves a transformative process, a journey from ignorance to revelation, and a realization of who Jesus truly is.

In our resistance to the devil, we employ the powerful argument of the Cross, rooted in the truth of God’s Word.
As we wait upon God, lingering in His presence, we receive divine instructions.
The heart of God warns us against eagerness to rush, urging us to position ourselves and patiently receive His guidance.

Therefore, let us embrace this divine journey with open hearts, knowing that God is refining us for a purpose.
May we, walk in the fullness of our calling, bringing forth the Glory of the Lord in every step.
