The Word a second time
Dear brethren in the nations, we talked recently about the name of the book of Deuteronomy and found that it means something like āthe word a second timeā [the Law word]. Moses was instructing Israel and rehearsing the whole story of their deliverance from Egypt, meeting God in the wilderness and all the wonderful things recorded for us and our instruction.
Since the formation of RMA in 1998, we have been going to the nations. Teams went to Myanmar and the subcontinent to the Philippines, Mauritius, Kenya, Rwanda, Burundi, Uganda, Tanzania. In due course to Malawi, Mozambique, Zimbabwe and South Africa. Then to West Africa, Ghana, Nigeria, Togo, and Liberia.
Meanwhile the door to Latin America opened up. Apostle Alberto spent 15 years with us based here in Australia and learned the apostolic way very well, living among us and translating much material into Spanish.
With the advent of Nicholas coming first for fathering and discipleship and then growing up to becoming an ordained apostle to the nations, he has stepped up to be able to exercise a quality ministry to brethren everywhere. He so much reminds me of the years when I, with various teams, went to many nations. In hindsight I realize now that I travelled too much, but the Lord led us and we did that foundational work in nation after nation.
Meanwhile the brethren in the nations, acknowledging the apostolic call, have begun travelling out into other nations, especially in Africa.
It is time! It is the season! for bringing the word of God a second time. Recently there was a request to link up with a brother in Burundi who has been using our manuals to teach others. It turns out that he relates to an apostle who relates to Apostle Wilson and who gave him some manuals to study. He already is doing that. The word is going out a second time. The manuals are being used in places that we wouldnāt have dreamed of. The apostolic teaching is going forth in Bangladesh and in many other unexpected places. Many of those places are āfront-lineā ministries reaching un-reached people groups.
We are not an organization that anyone can join, rather we are carriers of the word of God. We share the word wherever we go. Sometimes that means beginning from the very beginning [the first principles in Hebrews 6:1-2].
As the word of God grows and multiplies through all of you being faithful in presenting āno other doctrineā (1Timothy 1:3), we must guard against false doctrine heeding the warnings of both Peter and Jude, who warn us so strongly against false teachers.
The following quote from our Missions Prayer News is the experience of our ministers everywhere, including in Australia:
Victor in Cameroon experienced the same problems that are faced in every nation, he reports: āMany that were indoctrinated with false teachings on water baptism, the Table of the Lord (Communion), discipleship making, the Deity of Jesus, etc., were set freeā.
We can remember and review all that God has done and present our bodies to go forth again, carrying the precious seed of Godās word in our hearts.
Blessings in Christ Jesus, Paul Galligan.
