We thank you for all your prayers and support and encouragement overthe past few month, especially as we, Pastor Onesmus and Bashabe andIan, have passed through much testing.

But why does God allow trials?

In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at therevelation of Jesus Christ, whom having not seen you love. (1 Peter1:6-8, NKJV)

We thank God for His refinement. And we also thank God that we have come through, and can testify that God does work all things out for good to those who love Him and are called by Him. We believe we are now on the other side.

PLANTING/FARMING PROJECT

As some of you are aware, I have been discussing this farming project idea with some of our elders. In one of the districts we have the opportunity to rent a substantial piece of fertile land for a season for around $150 USD. This would produce around 4 tons of produce, which would meet the food needs for the Divine Future Care Ministry, as well as have produce to sell.

It is estimated that the total costfor the season, including labour, rent, seed, supplies, etc, would be around $1000. That would yield about $4000 worth of food, thus making a profit of $3000.

Crops would include maize, beans, peas, groundnuts, millet, cabbages, tomatoes, onions, Irish potatoes, sweet potatoes, cassava.

Please pray for this, as it will be a way of helping the people become self-sufficient, and not need to ask for outside help.

FUNDING

We still have a long journey to take. We need to begin on the farm work in December, so we need funding, but not “free” money. We need at least half the required amount.

We are grateful for the support thatyou you have always rendered to us, but now is time we had self-determination. It is time we “go fishing ourselves”, lest webecome a burden to our friends.

As Paul supported himself through tentmaking, we have our “tents” to sell in the form of books.  So we are looking for buyers. We would only need to sell 300 copies of the Secret Place book.

So please commit this to prayer and consider buy at least one of the books, and also share with your friends and encourage them to follow suit. They are available as paperback or, for your convenience, download them as Ebooks.

We thank you in advance for helping us to help others. May the Lord bless you richly.

Your fellow laborer,

Pr Onesmus

FUTURE VISION

FOOD PROCESSING FACTORY AND MORE FARM ESTATE

This is where we see it could go. God willing, we could develop a food processing factory for our farming project. We would not only produce food, but we will also process and pack it.

So we would need milling machines, and packing machines, and factory structure which will cost around $20,000

And for the farm, the long term goal would be to expand the farming estate to covering around 10 square miles. This would be producing over 100tones of food. We could also buy from local farmers at a cheap price,and stock, process and pack and sell to organisations like the world food programs.

That would mean that

• we could produce food that can sustain 10,000 for at least six months.
• it would create food security in the region,
• it would provide employment opportunities to the unemployed,
• it would help us reach out to nations, and
• we could expand the DFCM project.

WHERE DID THE IDEA COME FROM AND HOW DID IT COME ABOUT?

Pastor Onesmus said:

From discussions with the church elders. We have an elders council. But they say that we would need technocrats in agricultural field.

The idea came about as we were looking at the future prospects of the ministry, its expansion, and my personal life style and family. We were looking at how we could support our selves without relying on donors.

WHAT WE NEED?

Apart from the finance and equipment to get started, we need expertise and people resources, i.e., missionaries who could come over here to run such a big project. This would build confidence to the internationalworld.

SOME PITFALLS TO GUARD AGAINST

(Here are some questions/comments posed to Pr Onesmus regard this project.)

Q.We need to guard it and watch that the enemy doesn’t sabotage it. How do we safeguard against people’s greed and selfishness? There would be many things you’d have to delegate, and the enemy would love to use people to bring it down.

PR1: We would need a skilledadministrator, and of course we need to seek for God’s guidance on who should this or that in the project. Jesus knew the importance of the secret place that, when it came to choosing the disciples out the manythat followed him, he gave an all night prayer seeking the father for guidance.

Q. So with many people involved we need to safeguard the vision. And with many organizations, what starts out to be pure and holy, over the years have become corrupted by people’s greed.

PR1: Yeah! Uganda is among the top 8 most corrupt African state. Corruption is in all sections of the society.

Q. Of course, we didn’t want the corruption come into this project.

PR1:That is why i would prefer white expertriates to our local people onkey positions. That is why we need white missionaries here, who could run and manage the projects and ensure that the funds are not misused.

Q. So in the past…that has been one of the main problems? And there are not enough missionaries there?

PR1:You see, when it is a small project, that needsa no delegation, I could run it. But I can’t assume that all people are after my heart. So with such a big thing, I would need people of integrity to run it. We need someone who would plan for the returns got from the project, re-invest it and alocate it to different programs, and follow up how such monies are being used, so that scarce resources are not wasted.

OTHER NEWS

COMPUTER:

This past month, Pr Onesmus was blessed with a donation of a computer. We have also been able to get him connected to the internet, however, there are a couple of needs. The monitor that came with it was faulty,so he needs to get another one, and also it is in need of more RAM. We thank God for His provision.

This has been a great help andhas allowed Pr Onesmus more time online, and also has saved with internet cafe expenses. Even when he hasn’t been able to use his computer, he has been able to take his modem to the cafe and only needed to pay for use of the computer.

We look forward to his being able to have all his own equipment. This will be a great advantage to REPEMU, as it will save on costs and also enable Pr Onesmus more time for online ministry. Please agree with us in prayer for this.

NEXT NEWSLETTER -

We mentioned in this newsletter about DIVINE FUTURE CARE MINISTRY.

This ministry aims to help the fatherless and needy children to have a fulfilled destiny.

If God loves me, why do I face problems?

This is one of those questions which plague many of our brothers and sisters in their everyday Christian life. There are those that actually believe that if you suffer hardship then there must be something wrong in your Christian walk. That in some way you have unconfessed sin and that the only way to turn things around is to go to God with your sin and beg forgiveness.However I am here to set the record straight. It is not the sin in our lives which causes us to have hardship. This is the thought of Jobs friends, and indeed they were not really friends at all to the man that lost everything even though he did not sin. Sometimes it seems that we suffer needlessly, but I say that God works all things for good to those that love him. From my own personal experience, I can say that I had a very difficult childhood. I never knew my real father and I was abused by a few stepfathers

Paul suffered more than most believers ever will. But in his sufferings he learned a lesson very few learn:

* That Yahweh’s strength is made perfect in weakness. This implies that human wisdom, wealth, fame, talent and strength generally get in the way of Truth if they are not sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

* That the insignificant believer who realises his/her own smallness and lack of strength can go on to harness the mighty power of God!

Suffering is the lot of all mankind, believers included. They suffer like other people. The difference is that when a true believer suffers he/she has the comforting assurance of faith that suffering has a divine purpose and will one day end. One day we shall all fully understand why God allowed us to suffer. It’s so easy to complain when suffering strikes home and family; but before you begin to complain, think on these verses:

2 Timothy 3:12
Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.

2 Corinthians 11:22-30 (KJV)
Are they Hebrews? so am I. Are they Israelites? so am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so am I.
Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I am more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft.
Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one.
Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep;
In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren;
In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.
Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches.
Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is offended, and I burn not?
If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things which concern mine infirmities.

2 Corinthians 12:7-10
And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.
For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.
And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

… to be continued….

MAY GOD BE GLORIFIED AS YOU READ THIS STORY! BE ENCOURAGED!!

“All things work together for good to those that love God and are called according to His purpose.”

And someone has said that the more bitter the battle, the sweeter is the victory. This has definitely been the case for my friend,Pastor Atukwatse Onesmus, over the past 3 months. He has walked through this dark valley of adversity and despair.

I thank you for all the support you’ve given to Pastor Onesmus during this time. But praise God, He has used this experience for His glory. The Apostle James says,

“Count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.”

I thank the Lord that He has placed me in a position to witness all this firsthand.

I first met Pastor Onesmus and his wife Bashabe back at the start of May. On one Ning network he shared his testimony with me. He wrote:

God met me at a time I was a wasted creature, lost in the world of sorcery, witchcraft, drug addiction, sexual perversion, one without purpose for life. In fact the Lord God met me at a time i was going to commit suicide after leaving a prison as an exconvict of attempted rape, a crime for which i served 3 years sentence to hard labor in prison.

As I was still thinking about committing suicide, i went to a cafe. On opening, a friend had forwarded a link to me which i opened and behold, these were the Campus Crusade online gospel preachers. I was convicted in my heart and I gave my life to Christ. It wasn’t easy for me to be emotionally healed, but God used the online correspondent I was given to teach me and help me overcome all the habits, find purpose in life, and understand the word of God .

She went ahead and sponsored me to join a bible school after God had called me into his service, three years after an encounter with him, and for the last 17 years, the Lord has used me and my experience to reach out to many degenerate people. That is why i have a crushing burden for people who have lost hope and purpose in life, God is calling me upon to begin internet ministry. As soon as i get a computer and a network modem, i will embark on that.

Practical gospel helped me become who I am. That is why I believe in preaching practical gospel of love to the most unfortunate societies.

Since that first meeting, I have been supporting this pastor and his work, and so has my husband. I administer “Power in the Word”Ning network with him, and I’ve helped him get a web/blog site together. Their ministry is call REPEMU International. Please check out his sites when you have the time.

So now, I want to share with you the journey the Lord has had us embark on this past 3 months, and for Pr Onesmus that has been one of terrible affliction.

One Friday night at the end of May, Onesmus comes on the chats and tells me that his 10yo son, Ian, had been involved in a bad bicycle accident, and that he was in the hospital in a coma. This had happened when they were away from their home town. We prayed, and for 6 weeks he was in the coma… and they battled to get funds to pay for the operation and for medication. Then after the 6 weeks, the Lord woke Ian up, and now he is “extremely well” (as Onesmus says), and we rejoice.

But still there was one problem. The hospital wouldn’t discharge him until the bill was paid. But for some reason, even after appealing for people to help, the money didn’t come through. This made we wonder what God was up to. Why did He have them stuck at this hospital, away from their home and their other children?

Well, two weeks ago (Aug 24), something remarkable happened. Pastor Onesmus received a phone call from a young lass who had just joined the network. She and a few student friends had joined. While Onesmus talked to her on the phone, they realised that they were only a few block away from each other. Of course, Onesmus was able to meet up with her in person. Onesmus was able to minister to her. But that’s not all! That evening, she took him to the college to introduce him to the other students. They shared together and Pr Onesmus ministered to them for some time.

Over the past few weeks, Pr Onesmus has met with the students a number of times. What is remarkable is that he would not have met the students if young Ian had been discharged from hospital as we’d hoped. Instead, this time of affliction has birthed a brand new ministry.

Last Sunday, Pr Onesmus preached to over 200 students. The students are really hungry for the Word of God, and they want Pastor to plant a church for them. They have been looking for a building they could hire and it seems they have found a suitable venue.

So, could you please pray that God will provide them the funds for the rent and that he will provide chairs and the sound equipment they need. They also desperately need Bibles.

I pray this story encourages you to press on even in the midst of trials.

God will make a way where there seems to be no way,
He works in ways we cannot see, He will make a way for me.
He will be my guide, hold me closely to His side,
With love and strength for each new day
He will make a way, He will make a way.

By a roadway in the wilderness you lead me,
Rivers in the desert will I see;
Heaven and earth will fade,
but His Word will still remain;
And He will do something new today.

Bless ya!

BOOK –

EBOOK

(All proceeds of this book go towards the work of REPEMU.  Your purchase will be helping to spread the gospel, changing many lives in Uganda, in Africa and around the world.)

I have written this book with a great burden. There are millions of God’s children who are harassed, oppressed, tormented and left helpless almost every night at the hand of Satan.

The devil has fought through dreams and will continue to wage war against God’s children. Through dreams, I too was a victim as you will read in this book. But ignorance in the area of satanic dreams cost me a lot.

Today, by the help and the grace of God, my burden is to help many of God’s warriors rise up and go on the offensive. They need to do so with knowledge. There are three sources of dreams that you read in this book, i.e., God, Satan and man.

Satan takes advantage of this means of communication and, like he did to Job, makes them to fear the night because of the nightmares he sends to them. One dream from God can go a long way to help you prayer life. That is spiritual warfare. You can read of that in Judges 7:9-15.

But also one dream from Satan can cause a great disaster in your life if not handled promptly. I write this from experience, because of my encounter with Satan in my dreams. The devil almost killed me. This dream came to me 17 years ago and brought a lot of problems into my life. But I thank God that He took over and called me into the ministry of deliverance by a word of prophecy.

I pray that you shall open your heart to the Holy Spirit (the teacher of all truth) and when you do, he will guide you in all truth and knowledge of God’s will over your life.

You shall know the truth and truth shall set you free. (John 8:32, NKJV)

Amen.

REPEMU INTERNATIONAL

Greetings in Jesus Name!

I firstly would like to thank each one for your support to me and my family in our time of adversity. Your love, prayers and contributions have been a wonderful help and greatly appreciated. God has been good to us.

Because of this trouble, I have not been able to keep you updated with the ministry as much as I would have liked. I hope to make that up to you in this letter, so here are some things that are happening and some prayer requests.

BOOKS

I thank God that I have been able to get my first book into print, and we now have a new one that is soon to be released.

• The NEW one is called “THE MYSTERY BEHIND YOUR DREAMS”. (A Biblical look at dreams, both good and bad, and how to be set free from the effects of evil dreams.) Click on the hyperlink about to read more…

• IN PRINT – “DEALING WITH FAULTY FOUNDATIONS”. (How to break free of those faulty foundations in your life – the generational curses that have held you down, and start to build new foundations on the Rock, Christ Jesus.) Follow this link for details of how to obtain a copy…

• MORE TO COME – Yes, I have more that I want to get published.

The titles include: ~ “With Jesus In the Secret Place” ~  ”My Foundations – Release Me” ~ “The Woman that Sits Upon Many Waters” ~ “You Are Loosed” ~ “How to Pray an Effective Prayer” ~ “Understanding the End Times”

TENTMAKING

As the Apostle Paul make tents to support himself in his ministry and so that he was not a burden on anyone, the sale of the above books go towards our ministry. Not only will you be blessed by reading the books, but also your purchase will help us touch many other lives for God. So all sales are greatly appreciated.

PRAYER NEEDS:

An most important way you can help our ministry is to pray for us.   Here are some requests:

1. OPPORTUNITY TO BUY THE CHURCH PROPERTY – Just this last week, I received word from our landlord that he wants to sell the property that our church is renting. The church has the opportunity to buy it. The cost is $5000, but we can have it if we can raise a deposit of $3000. At present they have been renting it for $100 a month. This would be a wonderful opportunity for us in the ministry. Please pray that, God willing, He will open doors for us to purchase this. It seems an impossibility for us now, but with God all things are possible.
2. DIVING FUTURE CARE MINISTRY – This ministry aims to help the fatherless and needy children to have a fulfilled destiny. Since 2005, the ministry has taken on the responsibility to care for orphans in child headed families and those with mothers who can hardly cater for their education the outstanding bills on the orphanage.   We have many financial needs here. Your prayers are appreciated.
3. EVANGELISM IS OUR MISSION! Please pray as we continue to reach out with the gospel in the local regions of Uganda, and then throughout Africa, and also worldwide via the Internet. Pray that many will come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ and the many would be set free from the bondage of sin and not remain as crippled Christians.
4. BOOK TENTMAKING – As previously mentioned, please pray for the current books, and the ones to be published.

TELL YOUR FRIENDS

This is a very important way that you can help us in the ministry. Please let your friends know about our work, and tell them about our books. Even if you can’t buy or contribute financially, your spreading the word is very vital. You can lead us to key people that God wants us to meet.

YOUR GIFT

Remember nothing is ever wasted in God’s economy. Your generosity is very much valued.

“He who has pity on the poor lends to the LORD, And He will pay back what he has given.” (Proverbs 19:17, NKJ)

“A friend loves at all times, and is born, as is a brother, for adversity.” (Proverbs 17:17, Amp)

“My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.” (1 John 3:18, KJV)

Whatever way you support this ministry, whether it be finance, time, gifts, talents, prayer, etc., you will be sharing in the fruits of the gospel, not only in Africa, but in the worldwide. The Lord is no man’s debtor. You will be greatly blessed!!

So thank you once again for your support.  May I ask you too, if you have been encouraged by this letter, please forward it to your friends as well, which is another way you can support us.

(CONTINUING FROM PART A)

Types Of Personal Faulty Foundations

Let us look more closely on different types of personal faulty foundation.

1. FAULTY MARRIAGE FOUNDATIONS

Contracting a marriage in our society requires three basic fundamental steps to be taken which are: (a)Traditional (Introduction), (b) Legal (or government) and (c) Spiritual aspects.

(a) The Traditional Marriage:

It is the contracting of marriage according to the customs and traditions of the people involved. This involves payment of bride price, giving of gifts like cows and fulfilling the rites required usually by the bride’s family. However, as a Christian it is expected and is absolutely necessary that the couple involved should uphold and maintain Christian principles in conducting this aspect of their marriage. Most Christians have compromised their faith in trying to fulfill this aspect of marriage.

A sister told me that in their culture, on the day of the introduction (traditional marriage), the bride must sleep with her would-be father-in-law as a fulfillment of the traditional rite. Such a tradition will definitely lay a faulty foundation for the marriage.

If there are things which according to the principles of Christian faith you did at the contracting of your marriage, such things have opened the door to the enemy and such things need to be addressed and dealt with properly. Such include:

• Did you use any abnormal means of attracting your spouse into the relationship (e.g. Juju, love portions etc)?
• Was there any blood covenant made between the two of you to commit yourselves to a marriage or to a different person?
• Were you involved in abortion before and/ or after your marriage with your spouse or other persons?
• Have you raped or been a victim of rape?
• Was there any opposition against your marriage?
• Were there grievous negative pronouncements or curses made against you or your marriage?
• What were your involvement and things done by you or on your behalf during your introduction (traditional marriage) like sacrifices, rituals, family rites and pouring of libation?
• Are there outstanding things you have not done concerning your marriage, especially the traditional aspects e.g. payment of bride price, gifts, etc.?
• Were you betrothed or preserved for someone to marry against your present relationship?
• Has there been any case, traits, feeling or evidence of spirit spouse in your life (physical or in dreams)?
• Have you made grievous pronouncements or curses against your spouse or vice versa?

Sincere answers to the above questions would help as guide to discover if a marriage is built on a faulty foundation or not.

2. SATANIC DEDICATIONS:

This evil foundation is similar to what we discussed above. Many of these so called traditional practices are actually occultism and abominable customs which involve dedications and defilement of the victims. See the Scripture: (Leviticus 18:29-30)

Some of these abominable customs, which constitute faulty foundation, include female/male adult circumcision, masquerade and traditional dances, incisions, traditional burial, dedications of babies on sacred stones or before river goddess etc. All these practices load people with demons, tie up people and their destinies in shrines and give evil spirits unlimited assess into peoples’ lives.

3. SPIRIT SPOUSE AND SPIRIT CHILDREN

Some Christians still have the persistent problems of spirit spouse and spirit children. Some born again Christians still have sexual relationship in their dreams. Some have sexual acts with particular faces while some have it with varied faces. Some have multiple sex in one night while some are raped by group of men in their dreams. These experiences result in sicknesses, bad luck, miscarriages, barrenness etc.

Some believers’ marriages are broken and their businesses or careers destroyed by rival spirit. Some women who have had children physically also have children in dreams. Some are not able to have babies in the physical but they have children in the spiritual realm. Some of these spiritual children prevent their mothers from having physical babies. Some spirit children are known to incite the husband of their victims to throw the women out of the marriages. Some spirit children out of jealousy attack and afflict physical children with sicknesses and even often kill them.

A sister had a dream where she was breastfeeding a baby whom she thought was her real baby but on a closer look she discovered that it was a strange baby. She unsuccessfully tried to push away the baby but all her efforts were resisted by the “little baby” who ended up biting the nipples of the sister. She woke up from that dream with so much pain on her breast. Eventually she submitted herself to a medical examination and it was discovered that she had cancer. Spirit spouse is a major reason why so many singles are not getting married because the spirit spouse will fight with the last drop of their blood to see that such a sister/ brother does not get married in the physical.

A sister suffered terribly in the hands of her spirit spouse in all her attempt to settle down in life. When the first man showed interest in marrying her, she was warned by her spirit spouse not to get married to the man because she is already married to him in the spirit, but when the sister persisted in going ahead with the marriage preparations, her would-be husband died mysteriously a day before her introduction. After some few years, another man showed interest again in marrying this sister, she was again warned by her spirit spouse but when she stubbornly continued with her plans to marry this new man, the man had a terrible car accident and died instantly. It was when she joined us for serious deliverance ministration that she was able to settle down in marriage.

Beloved, spirit spouses are jealous, cruel and wicked. If you have these problems you will need to pray like a wounded lion and also submit to a total deliverance ministration.

4. RELIGIOUS PERVERSION

Whenever we move from truth to falsehood, we enter into darkness where Satan reigns. In this territory, Satan has a legal ground to execute manipulation and oppression.

From the Old Testament, God has revealed Himself and what is the mode of worship acceptable to Him. For instance, in Exodus 20:4-5, He said:

“Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me.”

The bible made it clear that we should not worship angels (See Colossians 2:18), or man (See Acts 10:25-26).

Religious perversion attracts a serious curse, as Galatians 1:6-9 (NLT) says,

“I am shocked that you are turning away so soon from God who in his love and mercy called you to share the eternal life he gives through Christ. You are already following a different way that pretends to be good news but is not the good news at all… Even if an angel comes from heaven and preaches any other message, let him be forever cursed. I will say again if anyone preaches any other gospel than the one you welcomed, let God’s curse fall upon that person.”

The above scripture also describes the nature of religious perversion. This is why former members of such religious cult would need to go for counseling and deliverance, because some of them were initiated into these perverse groups through strange baptism, holy water, sacrifice in the rivers, praying rosary and bowing to an image in the name of religion.

Some people came from a church where Mary is worshipped, prayed to or excessively honored. This strange ‘Mary’ that desire worship is one of the manifestations of the queen of heaven and must not be confused with Mary the Mother of Jesus Christ, who is now in heaven. Mary the mother of Jesus Christ went to heaven only because she later believed in Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior. She was one of the 120 disciples who tarried in the upper room to receive the Holy Ghost baptism. (Acts 1:8-14).

5. BLOODSHED

An individual may have been involved in bloodshed through murder, man slaughter, warfare, abortion, sorcery etc. The sin of blood letting establishes an evil foundation. The major problem is that the shed blood keeps speaking against the one who has shed blood in the manner of Job 16:18:

“O earth, cover not thou my blood, and let my cry have no place.”

This speaking may continue to attract a curse and impose hindrances on the person who had earlier shed blood until the appropriate prayer ministrations are done.

This ministration would involve bringing repentance forth sin of bloodletting and silencing the speaking of vengeance using the blood of Jesus Christ.

“And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel”. (Heb.12:24)

Some women suffer from habitual miscarriages. They have strange dreams whenever they are pregnant. Such people would need deliverance with a preparedness to repent of all sins of bloodletting, especially for carrying out abortions or sponsoring abortions.

6. WRONG NAMES

In every culture, some sentiments or principles guide the giving of names. Names have meaning and there is a spirit behind names. Sometimes people say that their names have no meaning, this is not quite true. Some people believe that the meaning of a name is not important and do not see how a name could have any influence on their lives. The bible establishes that names influence the lives, experiences and destinies of their bearers. In other words, names provide a foundation for a person’s life.

A Satanic, idolatrous or wrong name will constitute a faulty foundation in a person’s life:

“Let not my lord, I pray thee, regard this man of Belial, even Nabal: FOR AS HIS NAME IS, SO IS HE; Nabal is his name, and folly is with him: but I thine handmaid saw not the young men of my Lord, whom thou didst send.” (1 Samuel 25:25)

In other words, the foolishness of Nabal was true to his name.

The name Jabez was given to Jabez by his mother:

“And Jabez was more honorable than his brethren: and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, BECAUSE I BARE HIM WITH SORROW.” (1 Chronicles 4:9).

Apparently the ‘spirit’ of his name made him a person who caused pain. One can therefore understand the last line of Jabez radical prayer for deliverance:

“Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain!” (1 Chronicles 4:10)

I do not know what your view is, but God’s view is that some people’s names would stop them from fulfilling their destinies in God. This is the major reason why God Himself gave some people new names, which are in line with His prophetic purpose for their lives.

Sometimes when a child is given a name after a dead or living person, a soul-tie may be established between the child and the familiar spirit impersonating the original bearer of the name. If your name is offensive to God, He would find it difficult to mention it.

This fact may deny you the blessings you deserve! Wrong names could also establish satanic covenants or set in motion negative prophetic manifestations in a person’s life. Unfortunately, some people who have understood this are still dragging their feet concerning a change of name.

Such names should be renounced and changed, breaking the evil associated with such names and a new be given that will glorify God release the blessings of God upon such a person.

How To Deal With Personal Faulty Foundation

Dealing with personal faulty foundation would normally involve counseling, repentance, renouncement of covenants with Satan, breaking of curses and covenants and deliverance ministrations. Deliverance is essential in dealing with faulty personal foundations and the bondage imposed on an individual by Satan.

However, I should mention that it does not help much to minister deliverance to one who is still living in sin, and who is not yet ready to repent and receive Jesus Christ as Lord. This is because the bible shows clearly that the state of the person would be worse than the state before deliverance.

“But afterward Jesus found him in the temple and told him, now you are well; so stop sinning or something even worse may happen to you” (John 5:14, NLT)

No matter what an unbeliever sees as the manifestation of faulty foundations, such a person needs salvation first! For an unbeliever, salvation is indeed the beginning of deliverance. So if you want to give your life to Jesus Christ in order to get saved, then say the prayer below:

“Lord Jesus, I come to you. I acknowledge that I am a sinner, forgive me and cleanse me with your precious blood, remove my names from the book of death and write my names in the book of life. Satan, I reject you, I divorce you, I am now born again. Jesus, I surrender my life to you now, come into my life and become my Lord and Savior; fill me with your Holy Spirit. Thank you Jesus for saving my soul. Amen!”

Steps in Dealing with FAULTY FOUNDATIONS

1. REPENTANCE:

Repentance is 70% deliverance because it restores one to a place of good standing with God by submitting to Him in order to resist the devil.

“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” (James 4:7).

Repentance also restores the authority of the believer to bind devil and also weakens the position and the authority of Satan in ones life.

“ If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” (2 Chronicles 7:14).

2. KNOWLEDGE:

Knowledge of what is wrong and the source of the problem helps deliverance a lot. Proverbs 11:9b says, “but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.”

Sometimes the Holy Spirit moves in sovereignty to bring about deliverance for somebody, but usually one need to know that something is wrong, what is actually wrong and how the problem came about.

3. RENUNCIATION:

Oaths, promises, agreements and covenants entered directly or indirectly with Satan and his demons give rise to evil foundations and are often the basis of sustained captivity. But sometimes one unknowingly enters into oaths, agreement or covenants because they were implied in the rituals, sacrifices, ceremonies which include making of incisions or tattoos on the body, pouring of libation, traditional child dedication etc. All these and more are things that must be violently renounced after repentance.

4. CONFESSION:

The confession of one’s position in Christ helps deliverance from faulty foundation. Making confessions aloud, based on what the Bible says about us weakens the position of demons thus making deliverance easy. Confessions like the ones given below are quite helpful.

“I am redeemed by the precious blood of Jesus and not by anything less so I refuse to remain in bondage.” (Based on 1 Peter 1:18-19)

“I am bought with a price and I belong completely to Jesus. My body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and not the temple of demons.” (Based on 1 Cor.6:19-20)

“The son of man has set me free and I must remain free of all satanic bondage.”(Based on John 8:36)

5. COMMAND:

Usually demons are expelled as we give them authoritative commands in the name of Jesus. Jesus gave us power and authority over demons and to cast them out.

Beloved, I believe that this is the time God wants you to experience a turn around breakthrough. You cannot go through this message and pray the suggested prayers at the end of it and remain the same.

No matter what you are going through, you can experience a divine change as far as your life and destiny is concerned. I may not know the details of your situation, but I know that God can change your destiny for good. Perhaps certain situations have been boasting or bragging against you, such situations must be silenced in the name of Jesus Christ. it is saddening that a lot of people grapple endlessly with stubborn problems and situations.

Unfortunately, many have given up and are waiting for the worst to happen. For many, things are going from bad to worse. This level trend can be traced to the fact that many are still busy chasing shadows while the real issues are left unattended to “My people perish for lack of knowledge”, says Hosea (Hosea 4:6). Ignorance is a Silent killer. I strongly believe that ignorance has killed more people than HIV/Aids.

FOUNDATION: The Basis for Success And Failure

“I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air.” (1 Corinthians 9:26)

This passage teaches that you must observe the rules of the game if you must win in life. This accounts for the difference between success and failure, problems and promotions, victory and defeat, as well as the difference between remaining in the valley and getting to the top of the mountain.

The knowledge of the right approach to the battles of life is crucial. If you fight life battles using wrong methods, your goodness will be taken captive. You must understand the principles of spiritual warfare because ignorance will lead to defeat. And you must fight to retrieve what the enemy has taken.

Let me tell you something which you must never forget: your background determines a lot the level of your success in the battles of life. Unfortunately, many of our ancestors prepared platforms of failure for us before we were born. Your ancestors can pollute, defile and trouble your destiny. There is no denying the fact that 95% of the problems that are brought to the church can be traced to the ancestral foundations of the victims.

Jesus laid everything down during His earthly ministry by pointing accusing fingers at the ancestral foundation of the Jews. This is recorded in; MATTHEW 23:35

“That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.”

The Word of Jesus leaves no one in doubt as regards the fact that our forefathers would have introduced serious battles into our lives.

Dearly beloved, let me emphasis this again, you would be deceiving yourself to think that participating in tribal rituals, communal sacrifices, obtaining your name through divination or consultation of oracles, having parents who use charms, and other fetish materials would leave no consequences upon your life. These things cannot but affect your destiny.

The bible makes it crystal clear that those who come from idolatrous background will experience serious problems. Now is the time to stand against all forms of ancestral bondage. As long as these problems remain unsolved, your life would be tossed back and forth like a useless coin.

A brother who was working as a senior staff in one of the government parastatals in Kampala had his job terminated mysteriously and all that he had labored for in life was confiscated over an allegation of fraud. Also his wife abandoned him when she could no longer cope with the brother’s frustrating situation. In the midst of all these troubles, the brother decided to commit suicide by drowning himself in the lake. As he was going to the taxi park to board a taxi to the lake, he heard our singing in a launch hour fellowship (in a building next to the taxi park). A voice told him to join us.

After the fellowship, he narrated his ordeal and we started praying concerning his situation. The situation was getting worse even as we continued to pray until, one day, the Lord told me that there is still some hidden truth that the brother has not revealed to me. He eventually told me a shocking story that everyone in his family was dedicated to their clan idol by name “Bachwezi” and that presently the father and the siblings are still worshipping the idol in the village. It was after this confession that it dawned on me why the brother was going through such a frustrating situations.

Beloved, let me ask you these mind-provoking personal questions:

• Have you surrendered your life to Jesus and noticed that things are getting harder?
• Do you feel the touch of invisible hand?
• Do you see what others do not see?
• Are there strange marks on your body?
• Do you sometimes hear strange voices?
• Are you a strange fellow?
• Are you a believer and you find it difficult to pray and read the Bible?
• Do you know things mysteriously before they happen?
• Do you have uncontrollable anger?
• Do you sometimes experience mental blackouts?
• Do you experience fearful and disturbing nightmares that leave marks on your body?
• Have you failed and gone through deliverance without noticeable changes in your situation?
• Do you struggle endlessly to stop habits which have become a feature of your ancestral genesis?
• Do you experience night mares?

If you can provide sincere answers to these questions, you will discover that you have lots of battles to do against powers behind ancestral problems.

Other foundation or generational problems include marital problems, continuous business failure, abnormal sexual urges, self inflicted injuries and other mysterious problems.

Please don’t sweep any of these questions under the carpet. Open up for a complete diagnosis of the Holy Spirit and seek the face of God for complete deliverance.
