Pastor John Sadera’s church in Nairobi

What a privilege and blessing it was for us to visit and minister at Pastor John Sadera’s church in Nairobi. We shared on the subject “You are a spoken word of God”. This photo was taken during the 2nd service. People were also standing outside, listening to the message.

After the service, we immediately left for Mombasa, where we are presenting an Afmin  Conference.

AFMIN Conference Mombasa July 2012

An Afmin Conference was held in Mombasa Kenya during July 2012. We gathered in the Mombasa Pentecostal Church. We were blessed by the attendance of 137 pastors and church leaders. Bishop Leonard Daffa from Tanzania, Pastor Aaron Maingi from Nairobi in Kenya and I (Johan) were privileged to minister at the Conference.

Bishop Daffa shared on the blessings in the Family. He highlighted that God wants to restore the family, as in heaven so be it on the earth.

The orphan spirit of Abram was the subject of my first message. It is interesting to read how the Lord encouraged Abram with some wonderful promises in Genesis 12. God spoke using the words “I will…” because Abram had not yet experienced God as “I AM”. Later in Genesis 14, we read that Abram meets Melchizedek, the king of Salem and the priest of El Elyon (the Most High God). Melchizedek gave him bread and wine and he blessed him twice in the name of El Elyon, creator of heaven and earth. It was here that Abram discovered who he was in God and no longer had to feel like an orphan. This was evident when Abram gave Melchizedek one-tenth of everything he owned.

My 2nd message was about the Foundation of God. The foundation that God has set in place is like the hard-drive that carries all of God’s principles that govern Heaven and Earth. Unfortunately, we have often built incorrectly through misinterpretation of the Scriptures. At present, throughout the earth, God is shaking the foundations to shake away anything that is not of Him and to allow us to be rebuilt in the truth of His Word.

Pastor Maingi ministered on dreams and visions and how it benefits the Kingdom of God.

All in all it was a wonderful 2 days of impartation. Also we recruited 50 new students for our next Afmin On10 School, starting 5 November 2012 – 7 November 2012 in Mombasa.

Bomb Blast Testimony

We received the following testimony from Elsalia Mumbo of Mombasa.

Praise God, I hope you are well together with your family. Am well, with my family and church.

It was on 29-3-2012 when we begun a crusade organised by the Mtwapa Pastor's fellowship.   We as the fellowship officials had prayed and fasted for 3 days so that God would show us who would preach at the crusade. The Lord confirmed to three Pastors that I and another Pastor would preach.  I would never have thought that I would be chosen for such a noble thing among more than 50 Pastors. We met on 12-3-12 and was told of that. The only confirmation was 2nd Cor 4v7 'that the excellency of power may be of God, not of us.' This Word was very strong in my spirit and also 1st John 5.4.

I preached the second day, and had experienced a very tough spiritual battle before I went to the platform. I asked the Lord what I would say and told me to just speak about Him and Who He is. So I just spoke about Jesus that He can be compared to none, from the prophecy about Him before His birth, about His life, His death and resurrection.

The third day I felt very weak and prayed with much tears for strength to even stand and finish the sermon. As I was climbing up the platform I asked the Lord what I should do because I felt very unusual. He told me to tell the people to lift Jesus. I told the praise and worship team to come back on stage and to only sing songs that lift Jesus. After singing for about 10 minutes I was told to tell the people to stop singing and pray. As we were praying I felt in my spirit that the Spirit searches all things and at that I told the congregation to pray in the Spirit though I know that it is not usual for people to do so in a crusade, but I chose to obey.

We worshiped for a long time in new tongues then I was told to open my eyes for a bomb can fall before me but He did not tell me it is going to be thrown. So I opened my eyes and I was told to read the Bible. I took my bible and read Mark 5v24-34. Before I could close the Bible, I lifted my eyes before me and I saw something like a stone fall and then the bang and smoke about 4 or 5 meters away from me.

The screams were all over, bleeding people and every thing changed making the crusade come to a premature ending. One teenage girl died on the spot, 36 others were injured , some seriously and were admitted to hospital where two other children died. Some of the injured included my son and some members of our church. I was not touched but watched in anguish,  the dear people whom I was leading to a few minutes ago.  Then I realized that was it not for mighty presence of the Lord during the worship and His mercy, more havoc would have done.

I give God all the glory.
