Intimacy in 2020

It is not time or opportunity that is to determine intimacy; - it is disposition alone. Seven years would be insufficient to make some people acquainted with each other, and seven days are more than enough for others. - Jane Austen  

Hi Partners, Family and Friends,

2020 has begun and this weekend is Australia Day.  I pray that you all have a great weekend and don't forget to thank God for this wonderful country, praying a blessing over this land and people.  God made places before He made people and then He put the people into the places He had made for them.  You are not here, in this Nation, by chance or accident but by divine appointment and positioning.  God has a reason and a purpose for your life and this Nation, in this season.  This brings me to that which I want to now share.

While on holidays, I felt the Lord say to me, "This new season and year 2020, is a year of prophetic insight and positioning."  We need to position ourselves to ride the wave of God's Glory that is about to burst on the Nations.  I dare you, to ask yourself these questions, "Am I ready for what God is about to do?".  "Am I excited about this season?". "Am I expectant?".  It's time to see the last great revival before Jesus comes.  Not only do we need to see this revival, but we need to be the reason it comes.  God is coming to expectant, excited and obedient people, who are looking for and to His coming. 

God wants to do great things for you!  God wants to do big things for you!  God wants to move in a big way in your circumstances, your family and your life.  Is there anything too hard for our God?  All things are possible to those who believe.  Great expectation is birthed out of great faith.  By faith we can change our world.  You and I are called to be and are, World Changers.

The Lord told me, "Out of great intimacy comes great fruitfulness."  That is what Jesus is looking for, from our lives, Fruitfulness!  How are we going to be fruitful?  By abiding in Him.  How do we abide in Him?  By spending time with Him in the Word and by becoming a doer of that Word and not a hearer only.

The scripture that God really spoke to me while I was on my vacation, was 1 John 2:27, it says;

"But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him."

The anointing teaches us to abide in Christ.  The Word of God is the most important thing you can feed into your spirit, the more time spent abiding in this word is going to equal fruitfulness.  Our fruitfulness is going to be in direct correlation with how much time we spend in the word.  As Kenneth Copeland would say, "One Word from God can change your life."

I am very excited about this year and I dare you to increase your intimacy and depth of your fellowship, by getting to know God more through prayerful study and absorption of the Word of God. 

I have also included a couple of photos of the orphans we support in India waving 'Merry Christmas and Happy New Year'.  Thank you for standing with us financially and prayerfully, to accomplish great things for the Kingdom of God in 2020.  We are praying for you, our partners, to experience your best year yet!


 

God bless,

“I am not moved by what I see. I am not moved by what I feel. I am only moved by what I believe.” Smith Wigglesworth.

If God’s Word says you are forgiven, then you are forgiven, if God’s Word says your needs are met, then your needs are met. If God’s Word says you are healed, you are healed. If you don’t let go of God’s Word, but keep it in your heart and mouth, then you can’t lose. There is no force the devil can bring against you that can overthrow the Word of God. God’s Word will make you a victor every time. So if you have been wanting good success and it has been eluding you, quit wondering if you have what it takes to succeed and remember instead, who lives in you. Then turn to the Word and put God’s success formula to work in your life. Start talking it, start thinking it, start doing it! You can believe all day long that the Bible is true- and that’s to your credit- but what the Bible says will never affect your life in a personal way until you start acting on God’s Word. Do not worry or fret that God has given more faith to others than He has to you. Rest assured in the fact that God h

Honour your man of God

“Render to all men their dues. [Pay] taxes to whom taxes are due, revenue to whom revenue is due, respect to whom respect is due, and honor to whom honor is due.” Romans 13:7 (AMP) The word honour means: to respect, to revere, to treat with deference and submission and perform relevant duties to. Honouring your man of God is vital in the life of every born-again believer. Even as a Senior Pastor, it is a privilege for me to honour the men of God that I consider my spiritual fathers and mentors. They are life coaches to me on my spiritual journey to success, shining examples of excellence in ministry, men to whom I look for advice, prayer, guidance and leadership. The importance of a man such as this cannot be overstated. Many of us would not be saved from the wrath to come, had it not been for the assistance, support and intervention of our Pastors. We would be ignorant of the Word, were it not for a man of God anointed to teach. Thank God for men who dare to teach the “Word of God”, i

THE LAW OF REPETITION

Image
What you hear repeatedly, you will eventually believe. Repetition, our school teachers know this basic law of learning. That’s why when we were at school, we learned many things in our early years by repetition. Someone once said, “You must hear something at least 16 times, before you eventually believe it”. Television commercials are repeated over and over. These are backed up by newspaper, magazine, internet and billboard advertisements. The marketers know we must continually hear and see something before we respond to it.  Romans 10:17 says “ So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God ”.  It simply takes time to absorb a message. Great achievers understand the necessity for their team and those following them, to hear instructions, teaching and training, again and again, before they fully grasp new concepts.  Do not expect those around you and those with whom you network, to understand everything instantly. You are a result of a process, y
