EVERY HOME FOR CHRIST NEWSLETTER MARCH 2018

It is clearly true that we are the generation that will be taken by theLord very soon, the Apostle Paul says that not all of us will die butsome will be raptured by the Lord while still living.

In the book of Luke 12:40 Our Lord Jesus talks of his coming in anhour when we are least expecting him, and this is an issue of everyChristian standing on toes for the coming of our master soon . Myconcern is that less people and servants of the living God are reallyconcerned of the message we have been given in the space oftime we have – which is soon.

:The Lord Jesus in the book of Matthew 24:49 talks of two kinds ofservants:He stresses that blessed is a servant that his master will findat work or doing his task and the other servant that his master willfind beating his fellow servants, saying in his heart “my master istaking too long to come back and start to drink and eat’.Nowadays we are seeing a lot happening in the church of God,and I want to challenge the servants of the Living God that it iseither you are one of the two servants above,and there is none inbetween.

Let’s get back to business since we do not know the hour of thecoming of our master and above all, we have been entrusted witha message. We have been tasked to reach to the lost with theGospel of Christ in a limited space of time.

AGAINSTTIME”

IT`SHARVESTTIME.

Thetruth is that: prayer is one

of emphasizes that our Lordmentioned to us as Christians/church.

Pastor Zikalala of the Mantabeni Assembly ofGod had arranged with the National Prayer Co

coordinator that they need to be in equipped in prayerfor harvest since prayer is our engine as Christians, and

because there is,“ there is a pray thee before there is a gothere,”.

It is very essential that the church deepens its nets into prayer even ifthere are plans of outreach and evangelism campaigns. The bibleteaches the King David would go into prayer before attacking orrather going out for a battle. Likewise the church has to commit

itself into prater.When teaching on prayer, Dlamini dealt with four

categories, namely how a saint rather the church isstanding with God, praying for the messenger’s,

clarity of the message being preached andlastly the spiritual warfare, where

the church embark in

coming againstsatanic altarsand forces,demons holdingback the peopleof God fromrepentance andaccepting theGospel into theirpersonal lives.

While we were praying at MantabeniAOG, God revealed that there is aserpent entitling the whole communityand thus holding back the churchresulting in in certain delays, saidDlamini. In confirmation Dlaminimentioned that by just mere looking atthe place and how things are and donein the community, it is quite clear thatthe devil is at work. The Apstle Paul inthe book of Ephesus that we are notfighting against flesh and blood butspirits, rulers, principalities andauthorities in the heavenly places, and

hence it is very vitsal that prayer is inplace in the church so that we mayfulfill our mandate and moreover efound in Christ after our victory. TheApstle Paul continues to say that he hasfought the good fight of faith, finish hisrace and kept the faith.In conclusion Dlamini challenged thatchurch leaders and Pastors needed tointensify in prayer so that there couldmore spiritually growth in theirchurches and also be in position tofinish the race they have been given ofGod.

Giving birth to a baby is equallyimportant to nursing up a child. Thequestion is, after having bornchildren in the kingdom of God, arewe having the muscles and capacityto nurse up our children till they arestrong enough to stand on theirown. BFAM program comes in notonly as a discipleship program butalso as a tool church leaders canuse to nurture and mentor theirsons and daughters in the faith.

Vilakati said that as a still smallgrowing church they saw it keenenough to install a discipleship orrather a bible study curriculum sincethey had none. Vilakati mentioned

that after hearing from anotherPastor that used the program in hischurch, he was eager to hear moreon the program. After beinginspired, he called Pastor Kunene(a BFAM Facilitator) and madearrangements for a BFAM class inhis church.

From the 6th – 7th of March PastorKunene was at Nkamanzi Anointingof Apostolic and Prophetic churchtaking Vilakati’s leaders through theBFAM Module. Vilakati expressedhow grateful he was to the program,he further said that what was exitingmore to him, was that the module isbible story based( no philosophies

attached therein ), permissivebased meaning that during theclass people are free to bring forthwhat they think in respect to thestory read. In that interactive class,the facilitator brings a conclusion ofthe story and making mention of thesubject the class has learnt from thestory read.

But since we started this endeavorthe school has not been the same, and we are seeing great change even in the rate of passing.

On this day of our visitation, we prayed for a few students who were attacked by evil spirits, said Dlamini. It is sointeresting to see what the Lord is doing in the school and in the lives of the students and teachers as well.

MASSIVE HARVEST OF 368STUDENTS RECEIVE THEGOSPEL AFTER WATCHING AJESUS FILM

On the 19th of February 2018, a massive number of 368 students ofManzini Central High School received Jesus as their Lord and Saviorafter watching a Jesus Film during their time of Chapel. The film wasbrought to the school through a partnership of by Everyhome forChrist and the school.

Brother Banele and I went to ManziniCentral High School to pitch a Jesus

Film show, just to sensitize the pupils onthe Passover celebration weekend thatwas coming. According to Pastor Msibi,

who is a teacher and also responsible forstudent fellowship in the school; the

school had arranged that they will justwatch the film in the morning and then

go to class. There is something amazingwith watching, even if people are familiarwith what they are watching, but they willfeel or rather sense the impact of the filmbeing watched. It was the same scenario

at the Manzini Central as the studentsfollowed the film and moreover the filmwas very relevant to the students, as the

narrators of the film were kids thusmaking it more appropriate to them.Due to time constraints, i had to skip

certain clips to finish the film in the timethat was allocated, but the students

shouted “NO, NO”, said Pastor Kunene.You could tell that they are following

what they are watching. Towards the endof the film, the students were emotionallooking at how Christ was crucified, how

He was tortured, beaten for us. In acapacity of 781 auditorium, 368 students

responded to an altar call of 5 - 10minutes.

It was quite a blessing seeing such a bignumber surrendering to the call of the

Lord Jesus; it gave us hope and courageas a team.

“IZONO ZAKHO ZOKUFUMANA”EVANGELISTIC FILM CONTINUES TO BE AHARVEST TOOL AS 44 SOULS CONVERTTO CHRISTIANITY

In coverage of about 300 homes, people of Manyovu in the Lowveld ofSwaziland near Siphofaneni were mobilized to come watch anevangelistic Film entitled Izono Zakho Zokufumana at around 6; 00pm in the evening on the 02nd of March 2018, and thus resulting to amaximum of 44 souls getting saved.

Our Lord Jesus meant it. When Hesaid that the harvest is ripe, he saidpray that the Lord of the harvestwould send more Laborers toharvest. This was evident inManyovu area, as in a mobility ofone to two hours for a film show,people responded in numbers.People flocked to the InternationalEvangelical Church auditoriumunder Apostle N Nhleko, where thefilm was to be shown.The EHC evangelism Team had 2days in Manyovu, on the first daythey mobilized and shown the film.

The second day they taught onhome to home/personal evangelismin the IEC church. The purpose ofthe teaching was that the saints areequipped in the work of ministry andalso that they may continue toharvest for the Lord. And onepainful truth is that: Christians thatdo not share the same heart withChrist as far as reaching to tge lostis concerned are capable to chasingout and hurting new converts. Thusteaching the congregation onevangelism does not only equipthem but also shares certain

insights that they need to take fullresponsibility in the church.On another note, the film does notonly help in bringing souls into thekingdom of God but also brings arevival to the other fellow saints inthe church. In the long run orjourney, as Christians we end uplosing the revival and the fear of theLord which keeps and guards us towalk righteously and blamelessbefore God, as Abraham our fatherof faith was instructed.
