Article 1 Weeping and Weeping Beloved, 2005 ASCA Convention Greatest Outpouring
in 2006 Ohh yes, I further belive that more than ever, in 2006, there will be a great quest for God and a severe hunger and thirst for the Presence of God than at any other time in the history of humankind. This Thirst
and Hunger for God [Mathew 5:6] has already begun in most of
us -for deep, deep within us, there is a great emptiness that
only desires
for God and God’s presence in our lives, churches
and the world. I must also let you know that next year ASCA will put up three Great GG-PP Outpouring Conventions - in April, August and November. More details on these GG-PP meetings will be posted at the ASCA website www.asca-usa.com so please do visit the website for the latest details and updates. Now quickly let me share the Rhema Word for us today from 1 Samuel 7 in light of the present day Godlessness, Idolatry, Humanism, Earthquakes, Tsunamis, Hurricanes, Famines and Wars. All of which indicate that more than ever, God is in the process of shaking the world. The Rhema Word! So in light
of God’s word and where we find ourselves
today, we can safely say that the end of the world
is “already but not yet” which now
allows us to PREACH the Gospel in the US and the
rest of the world before the end can come! But saints, who are
those who will preach the Gospel, if the Love of many will have
already grown cold? Ohh yes, may I further ask you, who
will be willing to go against the popular tide of
the unbelieving critical humanists in order to preach the unpopular
Gospel of God with GGPP? In the first
place the Ark of God which represented the very Presence of God
had already been removed from its rightful abode [1 Samuel 6].
This meant that the Presence of God was not central
to the lives of the people – a clear proof
of the fact that the children of God were now without
the “physical” presence of God. Ohh
what a worse place to fine self. But saints,
even amidst all this, never ever be fooled to think that God
is without a witness
for GOD ALWAYS HAS A REMNANT! Who in this case
included the prophet Samuel. So when the people
realized their hopelessness, they cried to Samuel to intercede
for them before
God. Why Cry? Without doubt, the Israelites knew the impact of such crying and so when they found themselves surrounded, they knew to ask Samuel to cry on their behalf. This is a classic example of what needs to happen to day. But my question is where are the “Crying Servants” of God who will go on their knees to intercede for the people of God? For Revival
and Renewal to come, Prophet Joel calls the servants of God to
first “Gird yourselves
with sackcloth and lament O Priests.
WAIL, O Ministers of the Altar.
Come spend the night in sackcloth O ministers
of God” [Joel
1:13]. And as if that is not enough call,
Prophet Joel calls on the Priests and the Ministers to “WEEP” between
the porch and the altar [Joel 1:17] I believe God is calling the Church into “sackcloth humility”. Only then will the Church become Victorious against her enemies for we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities and forces of darkness in high places. Friends should I remind us that the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through the Holy Ghost? So therefore lets not fight as the world fights, but as God calls! My friend,
what have you heard? Are you troubled? Does everything seem
dark and
gloom in your life? And how about
your church, does it seem so dry, dull and boring?
And what
about in your spiritual journey,
do you feel like the enemy is winning? Then you
need to
do like Nehemiah did when he heard
the sad/bad news from Jerusalem: “When
I heard these things, I And just like
Samuel cried, for the enemies of God to be defeated,
let us arise and
take our positions on our knees
between the altar and the porch and Cry
for our
lives,
families, nation, churches and
the Kingdom of God. And O that we may become violent
in our “Altar Cry, Wail and
Weeping Ministry” so that
the Kingdom of God may Victorious
March forth! 1. That will
stand in the Gap between God and the People so that God And for those who are already sowing in tears, let me remind you that according to Psalm 126:5-6, you will harvest in Joy: For “those who sow in tears for they shall reap with joyful shouting. And he who goes to and fro weeping, carrying his bag of seed, shall indeed come again with a shout of joy bringing his sheaves with him”. So beloved, whatever you do and wherever you are, until your breakthrough comes DON’T STOP CRYING! And until you can boldly say like Samuel “The Lord is my Ebenezar” which means so far the Lord has been on our side … [1 Samuel 7:12], DON’T
STOP CRYING!! Respectively Submitted by, Bishop Dr. Douglas Muchiri P. O. Box 256 Urbana, Ohio. USA » TOP |
