On sep 28, Kimberly Henry , Janet who are my friends and myself started out on a journey to a town called Meru, 300 km east of Nairobi the capital of Kenya. The journey took us five hours.
We arrived in Meru at around half past one oclock during the day. We were attending a conference called freedom by grace organized by Faith ministries international Kenya. We were part of a larger team which was coming later to grace the occasion. Our team is called the grace aflame network international Kenya, a group of believers soaked in the love of Christ operating from a town called Nakuru 150 kilometers west of the Kenyan capital Nairobi.
The conference commenced in the afternoon on a high note, praise and worship was enthralling , the atmosphere was electric and full of expectation, I cant express the expectation hat was lodged in my heart as I looked forward to a n amazing weekend.
There was another group of ladies visiting and ministering from The states, I remember the evening revival service for the day very vividly because it was Hot and electric and the rest of the crew had arrived from Nakuru and together the atmosphere around was one full of expectation and exploits. The sermon of the evining was derived from 2nd Co 5:15-21 and 1st Timothy 1:12-15
The greatest mission in the heart of God is reconciliation and this he did in Christ, for God was in Christ reconciling the world back to him not counting the sins of men against them. If this is not extravagant grace then I don’t know what it is. God has proved that he loves humanity and this he proved to the extent of sending his son in the likeness of the sinful flesh to die for us. Paul alludes to this reality and said that though he was a blasphemer, a defamer and insolent opponent , he received mercy because of his ignorance , what! He received mercy because of his ignorance , haha as this was echoed across the building , a fresh wave of the gospel was flooding the hearts of men; as Henry and I were delivering the sermon we were enthused by the working of God. God is surely enthused in making his gospel known, by this I mean the real gospel.
On Saturday was a power packed day, we had powerful sessions of praise and worship , songs full of grace and truth, the team from the states ministered Forgiveness and how forgiveness frees people; this is how the cross brought us fresh Kainos Life , by christ’ s sacrifice we have been forgiven of all our sins, Jesus has become the propitiations For all sins; not ours only but the sins of the whole world(1st John 2:1-2), Suddenly people were being ushered to be prayed for and all that happened were miracles , signs and wonders.
Saturday evening was a blast; the revival service was Historic, one full of ecstatic celebration, ts aa good thing when freed people sing and dance for they don’t care being undignified in the eyes of people. Dignity according to the language of heaven is fullness of Joy and peace in the holy Ghost; and so we were drunk and drunk in the presence; the sermon of the night was Delivered by Pastor Remi; the pastor who hosted us. I must admit the gospel is always fresh and that was my experience on Saturday night as we got to learn that the devil cann no longer accuse us, he was disarmed and cast down; the once and for all sacrifice of Jesus was enough ; there was a time when he could accuse us because of the law for the law came to increase trespass.
However in Christ there is therefore now no condemnation, for the law of spirit of life has set us free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do in that it was weakened by the sinful lesh God did by sending his son in the likeness of the sinful flesh and concerning sin , he condemned sin in the flesh.
Revelation 12:10-11” Then I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, "Now the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God and the authority of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren has been thrown down, he who accuses them before our God day and night.
Rev 12:11 "And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life even when faced with death”
We have overcome by the blood of the lamb and by the words of our testimony. Do you know what are the words of our testimony? It is that Christ has triumphed over the enemy bringing us before the presence of God as ones holy and blameless and if that’s not enough, as ones without blemish. I think this is good news and sure it was as we saw another night of miracles signs and wonders , I remember a girl with skin diseases was instantly healed. There was an agglomeration of hope and expectancy , everything is surely possible with God.
Then came the crazy Idea by Pst Remi , that we form a glory tunnel, the members of grace aflame were to form the tunnel as the rest of the crowd went under the tunnel and we laid hands on multitudes and again, prophecies were uttered and multitudes were experienced the baptism of fire and diverse miracles signs and wonders were experienced and this went on and on and on until it reached 11pm.
Sunday was here with us; this was the final day of the conference and as it wwas expected, the climax of this amazing weekend. The church service went on as scheduled with our friends from the styes ministering before they could catch a ride back to Nairobi. Before the service was over a few of us were informed of another opportunity to minister in a nearby church within the town. Henry , Kimberly, Calvin , Edwin and I took off to the church.
I cant express with words our forty minutes in that place, Henry ministered a song called it doesn’t matter. Yes it doesn’t mater what you have done, wat you are doing or what you will do, what matters is that God loves you and he gave his son on the crss to die for you, why ? so that you and I can experience eternal life; that which was stolen from us by the deception of the enemy. We shared the love of Jesus with this small congregation in an amazing manner. I can’t explain the love that Kimberly(our friend from Canada )expressed towards the kids as all children were thronging around her to receive the love that she had which offcourse is from God.
What I can say is that I have never experienced a rapid ministry like the one we had in this church, with no prior plans nor invitations for we were invited in a matter of hours before we appeared.
The climax of this weekend was in the night as we wrapped up the whole event wih worship, more drunk sessions ad more prophecies, I cant express the joy that was twinned within my heart as we frolicked and rolled on the ground as little babes who were completely mesmerized by the goodness of God; this level of ecstacy was unique by its own; what changed my life though is the intensity of God’s goodness and how he wants us to enjoy him far much more infinitely than we want to enjoy him; it’s a good thing to know that God is energized by his own power to love us the way he does. When we are soaked in the atmosphere of God’s goodness a good conscience floods our minds; we indeed get to know that we have been already purged from a n evil conscience
What a lovely and historic weekend it was ; all honor and glory to God Amen.
