MAKE A U-TURN
Over the past 4 decades of ministry and God's calling over my life, I have come across great men and women of God who have touched my life and ministry in untold ways. I can gladly boast that they were God's hewing stones that God used to make me who I am today.
It has been interesting how some went astray doctrinally or otherwise and while some made a U-turn, others were caught so deep that any form of repentance was going to be costly both reputational and otherwise.
A man who led me to Christ at High School was the same man, who came to my house early one morning and asked my wife to kneel down. Our two daughters who were 3 & 4 years of age were going to witness a brutal murder of both their parents witth a hammer that was hidden under his coat. When the Lord forbade him to carry the murder out, he excused himself and went to his residence and I left for work.
I was amazed when I learnt that he used the same hammer after I left to break the door of his house and wreaked a havoc. Reason: he had just learned that he was HIV positive and was angry at everyone and everything. He died a few weeks later.
Another son in the Lord lost his job and had started gambling. I had sought audience with on several occasion and he kept promising. One early morning, he had secured a gun and killed both their children after shooting his wife (she survived) before turning the gun on himself.
Both these men and their families had not judged themselves as per I Corinthians 11 and their sin caught up with them and we lost them in the race.
The recent advent of Ukuthwala and ukukhendla (sacrificing those closest to you for wealth through witchcraft and using traditional muti to gain fame and fortune was done by anyone else except the church and its leaders. This is no longer the case. Great names have recently and shall continue to be exposed by God over the next five to ten years. I have seen how our colleagues who have a living museum of what God used to work through the, and instead of finding the lost axe, they augment and compensate teh lost network with God through ukuthwala and ukukhendla.
It is not a new phenomena. A sorcerer was saved when Peter and John preached Christ but still held on to sorcery. When the Holy Ghost power fell he saw an opportunity for fame and fortune. he asked Peter to name the price and he would pay to have the power.
Sorcery is about the exchange for what we have lost. Adam lost his power hour with God in Eden and blamed others for it. King Saul turned to sorcery when he disobeyed God and abandoned God's covering.
I pray that these great men and women will listen to what God says in Revelations 1-3 and save what still remains and but eye-salph. Some have tried to sacrifice me by calling my name at those altar. The Holy Spirit would raise the bar during those times and speak through my children and wife (as confirmation) and we are here to tell the story.
I pray that they wake up like Jonah in the middle of the turbulent ocean with torrent waves and say "it is me, throw me into God's sea and we will all be fine ."
2021 is the year of restoring the pure water that flows from God's threshold, touching our ankles (bringing healing to the feet that preached Christ by day and sought witchcraft and sorcery by night), then our ankles (disarming the moments where we had bowed at some foreign altars BACK TO GOD'S ALTAR; touched our waist (restoring the belt of truth and girding us to it) and a river to swim in).
I pray that the Holy Spirit would cause the Word that once made sense alone without borrowing crutches elsewhere) to burn like fire shut up in your bones.
In Johannesburg some was happening ko kereke ya sephiri but now it little pets, locked rooms, holy oil and burying things alive to let maggots spirits cause fame and fortune to flow. No, that is not how the c**k should crow.
Put your house in order, because tonight your soul might be called and you will not be ready. If you are ankle deep in -run. If you are knee deep -crawl back. If you are waist deep, flip back and swim out. If you are so deep, dive your way out. You are not dead yet -but soon your number will be called.
Take heed and let us rebuild with Nehemiah. Build with us. Now is the time.
