God's Divine Arrangement

I just received news that Mr. Takashima, one of our Japanese friend's father passed away suddenly due to a hemorrhage in his brain. While this was a shock to us (since we only met him last week), I am amazed at God's divine arrangement. Our team visited his home at Nara (an ancient capital of Japan) and he and his wife Mikiko were so hospitable. She is a great cook and really enjoyed ourselves. On arrival, the couple took us through the traditional tea ceremony (which was likened to an old Japanese christian communion ritual). It was quite an experience and we loved the tea. After dinner, Haruki (our Japanese friend) took us around the house and I soon found myself alone with Mr Takashima who spoke some English. He was friendly and I felt a connection with him. Before I took leave and head back to the team, I wished him well for his appointment with his dentist. I was surprised when he opened his feelings and reveal his fears, something which I thought no elderly Japanese man would do. I asked if I could prayed for him and to my joy, he agreed. I prayed with affection and love for him and he was clearly touched. He later told his son, Haruki that he was touched to tears. I believe the Holy Spirit really ministered to him and I am hopeful that Haruki's prayer with him during the visit to the hospital sealed the work of God in this man's life. Apparently in the father's last phone conversation to Haruki he suddenly talked about his future possible death and requested a Christian funeral. God must be preparing for his passing and I am just glad to be used by the Lord to touch this soul serendipitiously. God is amazing.

Mission Trip to Kobe, Japan

Our trip to Kobe, Japan was wonderful. It was great to see a healthy and thriving church in a nation where people have traditionally labelled as 'hard ground' for the gospel. The folks were so responsive to the messages and we made many friends. Their hospitality made us feel very welcomed and I feel that this is just the beginning of a relationship between New Life and Kobe Bible Fellowship. Ps Rob certainly has good insights into the Japanese mindset and he is doing a good job at KBF. I left with many good memories and new experiences. Thank you Lord.

I have a Father-God who loves me unconditionally.

He is ever present, ever providing and ever protective of me.

He is lavishly generous and as I trust Him with my finance,

He protects me from financial ruin and

gives me power to get wealth.

I feel the need to continue to write regarding the 'spirit of inferiority'. I do believe it is one of the most powerful demons at work in preventing Christians from coming into the fullness that God desires for us.

This demon caused us to perceive ourselves to be weak and inferior to others.

This is the spirit of the grasshopper mindset.

It is the work of the demon of fear.

This spirit of Intimidation caused the Israelites to cower before Goliath.

It is the spirit that prevented the Israelites from reaching the promised land.

It is the demon that brought down Saul's kingship as it manifested itself and made Saul reacted with jealousy and insecurity to David's elevation.

Friends, 2008 is coming to an end and if we desire to see a better 2009, we need to cry out to the Lord and put off this demon of inferiority from us.

In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, I cast out the demon of inferiority. Be gone in Jesus' Name.

Be free!

Be bold!

To keep this spirit abay, we must walk in the love of God. Resist any temptation to respond or react to fear, jealousy or intimidation. Instead soak ourselves in the knowledge of the love of God.

Eph 3:17-19 that Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, (18) may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth and length and depth and height, (19) and to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge, that you might be filled with all the fullness of God.

1Jo 4:18 There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

The Best is coming in 2009.
