38 And he said unto them, Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also: for therefore came I forth. 39 And he preached in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and cast out devils. (Mark 1:38-39)
Patterning our lives and ministry after Jesus has never been this fulfilling. Once, in Matthew 4:13 Jesus left Nazareth and dwelt in the dark jungle of Capernaum so that the great light prophesied in Isaiah might be their portion. Here in Mark 1:38-39, we see Jesus moving from one city to the other. Following the steps of the Master has been our major thrust. We try to do what He did. We leave our comfort zone (Nazareth) and station ourselves in d dark jungles of Africa. Here we are again, reaching out to cities.
The past six weeks have witness great outpouring of grace. Work in the North of Brazil witnessed many turning to the Lord. From the North, I entered the Amazon jungle. His presence was there again to cheer me up. Scores of people embraced Christ and several sick persons were healed and oppressed delivered. The Crusade took me to the Middle belt of Brazil. Same testimonies trailed the work. One of those saved was a hardened heroin addict. The drug had made his mind went blank, making him to forget his wife and Children. At Araras, Five persons who were at the point of committing suicide were delivered. I had opportunity to address the political leaders including the Mayor, Deputy Mayor, Councillors, etc. on the need to fear God, embrace His son Jesus as saviour and tap into His unchanging grace and wisdom. I spoke to top business men of the city on the keys to lasting breakthrough in life and business. I had several missions awareness campaigns. Preached on radio and Televisions. The welcome was overwhelming.
Now, like our Master I have moved yet to other cities ~ Maringa, Presidente Prudente and Nova Adradina. The ministry assignments went well. More persons embraced Jesus as saviour on daily basis. To Him alone be the glory.
I am in the last lap of my ministry in Brazil for this year ~ moving towards the boarder of Uruguay. A friend once used the word globe trotting but my fulfillment is I see souls save across the globe. It is enough for a disciple to be like His Master.
Pray along as I preach in Rio Brilhante today, Douradros tomorrow, Rio Vende on September 5, 2010. After that I fly to Nova Esperanca and speak on September 8 and then Paraiso Norte on September 9. Others include Cruz Alta, Pelotas, Porto Alegre then fly back to Sao Paulo and finally to Nigeria.
I covet prayers for both physical and spiritual strenght. Covering these cities is the least we can do to follow the steps of our Master:
