Light of Jesus Seen in Believers

Sorry, have been busy day and night, but have not forgotten the stories of Light. Though the darkness in this world would overwhelm us by Satan's design, the Lord promised light. This man, Jacob Nasibebo, and his wife Veronica show the light of the Life of Jesus Christ in the darkness that surrounds them.

Coming from a culture of typical church religion mixed with witchcraft, continued sin, even by the leaders, here in Zambia, Jacob moved to the drug/drinking/reveling world of Rastafarian. Then, after coming to Bible Study at Victoria Falls for a while, June 29 2009, he received Christ as Savior, in his words, "as my life, truth, way and righteousness".

Since that time, he has given his time, effort and heart to knowing Jesus Christ of the Scripture. If someone says to Jacob, "lets go serve the Lord, study the Scripture, pass out Gospel literature, tell someone about Jesus", I have some advice regarding that. Do not get in his way or try to stop him!!!... he will kindly patiently gently tenderheartedly compassionately carefully run over you on the way to the WORK OF JESUS.

Acts 10:34-41 begins with Peter preaching and in this passage Peter said, '...the word which God sent...preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (He is Lord of all)...who went about doing good...whom they slew and hanged on a tree: Him God raised up the third day and showed Him openly...and He commanded us to preach unto the people...that through His name whosoever believes in Him shall receive remission of sin.'

This same Life of Jesus, going about doing good, commanding us to tell people that by His name (all that He is), we, by faith can have remission of sin...this same Life that is Jesus Life, John 1:4 and 14 can be seen effective, the Life of light which pierces the darkness, in Jacob. On earth, first seen by his family, then professed to me as he chose me to disciple him to Jesus Christ and now proclaiming to any and all who will listen, Jesus saves. You just cannot shut the boy up about, or divert his attention from, JESUS CHRIST!

Yeah...that is the work of Jesus Christ the light of the world among the children of men!

Delivered from Darkness, Serving Christ

Last story was of darkness. Today I begin showing the result of the Light of Jesus Christ in this darkness of Africa.

In 2006, Breyford Mwaanga began working with me in the ministry. He had gone to a Fundamental Baptist Bible School in Livingstone. But soon he was set up for failure.

Young, inexperienced, unmarried, that Organization sent him out with another, inexperienced, unmarried young man. They went to a place where a few meetings had been held, and told to "Pastor" the few that had received Christ. Not only was there Biblical mandate that they were not qualified, novices and no wives, but they had not worked faithfully with any elder men in the faith in new areas.

Soon, Breyford was 'out of service'. Then his uncle sent him to me. Within a few weeks, he was traveling with me nearly every week. I continually taught him Biblical principles, definition and showed him the power of Jesus Christ's life in the Scripture. He learned the Apostles doctrine which they received from the Lord Jesus.

Now he is married, and his family is moving to Habanyuka. He is no longer a novice, he is the husband of one wife, he has a son and he has been seen stable by the life of Jesus in him. Pray for them as they go to labor in the ministry...the people of Habanyuka love him and his family.

Stay tuned for another bright light on a dark continent in the next couple of days.

Walking in Darkness

Culture of darkness. Many that proclaim to be followers of Jesus Christ, still walk in darkness. The photo above is in an area where there are many Congregations, but according to people we know that live in this village area, most if not all have the darkness of witchcraft in them even while proclaiming Christ.

1 John 1:6 says, "If we say we have fellowship with HIM (Jesus) and walk in darkness, we lie and do not the truth". One cannot have it both ways. Jesus says in Matthew 7, "Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity." One does not have saving faith in Jesus Christ the Lord and walk, continue, choose to follow the works of the devil.

These boys and men in the picture are carving traditional masks of witchcraft. They do so with blessing from those that have familiar spirits, wicked spirits of darkness, fear, terror by night, wickedness in high places. Yet, they claim to be with Jesus. We asked!

However in this dark culture, there are the shining lights that reflect the work of the Life of Christ, who is the Light of the world. In the next few stories, I intend to profile a few of these.

So watch for some saints in the Zambia who know the power of Jesus Christ in them, the same Christ who is the Son of God that was "manifested, that He might destroy the works of the Devil". Jesus was "manifested to take away our sins".

These are men out with me visiting, with the glorious Gospel, those that are "blinded by the god of this world" who is Satan. Yeah, fellowship with Jesus!

Torment of Satan

i
Sorry so long in writing, have been overwhelmed. My nephew is helping build a clinic next door to Victory Baptist Church in Habanyuka. I only have a month and 1/2 to get this organized. Plus we are in 2 other building projects at Kooma and Maluma with those Churches.

Yesterday at Habanyuka, Endless, mother of Blessing, girl with Cerebral Palsy, came to Church. She has been involved with witchcraft before coming to Christ 2 weeks ago. Well when we began singing the "Worshiping Song", she started to the front and was suddenly struck with crippling in her left leg. By the time she got to the front of Church, she could not walk and fell to the ground.

We work with people that have been in bondage for centuries to "power, signs and lying wonders" of Satan and his "mystery of iniquity" (read about it in II Thessalonians 2).

It was invitation time and another had come repenting of not being faithful to the Lord. When we got to Endless, she told us she was being tormented by evil spirits. When she tried to ask the Lord to deliver her from their torment she could not. She said they were holding her. Finally she did manage to call on the Lord, but was still smitten and could not stand. Now I was sure that she had "given place to the devil". There was something in her life that allowed the messengers of Satan to torment her physically.

After much prayer and as we were leaving she suddenly was released, by the hand of the Lord, from that sudden infirmity of wicked and foul spirits .

Friends, we are in a battle. To be effective, we must walk in light as Jesus is in light. His life is light and if we abide in Him and His words abide in us, we will have victory over the works of darkness. John 12:46, 15:7. If our walk is in His words, we can ask and He will do for us.

Praying, going, walking with Jesus "who died for our sins that He might deliver us from this present evil world" Galatians 1:1-3.
