Today i preached at Church of Christ the Rock. I last ministered here 2 years ago. I preached on the topic "Dealing with the inner weaknesses of your Life".
Though this was only a small group of young people consisting of about 20 in all including some older ones who decided to join in, I preached with the same fervency and zeal as I would regardless of the group size. Size certainly does not matter.
Many of the young people present had never encountered the Holy Spirit before. As the altar call was given, many of them streamed forward wanting to be prayed for. Some of them were reluctant as they were persuaded by their parents or friends to come forward. But nevertheless, God was faithful to His Word as Lillian and myself begin to lay hands on them to experience the fire of the Holy Spirit. Tears were shed especially those who were half-hearted not knowing what to expect. Words of knowledge were released as we ministered and the older folks were also touched as they came forward for prayer.
I am also thankful that the Lord has blessed me with the first convert in my itinerant ministry as a young man from Nepal who had been attending the services for 3 months said the sinner's prayer for the first time in his life. He too experienced the touch of God as he later mentioned that he felt weak as I prayed for him. His friends had been persuading him to accept Christ for the 3 months and he finally made that decision today. Praise God for on soul saved!
Do keep Lillian and myself in prayer as I minister next Sunday at the Generations service at Cornerstone. It's an exciting journey ahead and we are "souled" out for it!
