Let us escape to that place and be renewed.
My prayer is that as you read this book, you will learn the secret of that secret place with Jesus. I pray that you will return there often and find your strength in Him.

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.

Beloved, I believe that this is the time God wants you to experi ence 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.
Don’t be like many who have given up and are waiting for the worst to happen. That is not God’s way! You CAN have your breakthrough.
Here is a prayer from Pastor Onesmus. I love his zeal and conviction. May we catch it!
Lord, take a look at my hand.
Take a look at my heart.
Mold it and refine it and set me apart.
I want to run to Your altar to catch the fire,
to stand in the gap for the lost world.Give me a heart of compassion for the world without vision.
Then I will make a difference giving to the world
the vision that drives me.My heart, my cry, my prayer, my passion
is to see nations bow down and worship God,
that with one mighty voice, every knee must bow down,
and every tongue must confess that Jesus is LORD,
to the glory of God the Father.Amen.

PRINTING INSTRUCTIONS
DONATION VIA PAYPAL
The funds will go towards REPEMU’s Farming Project.
We need to start planting in December.
Thank you for your support. God bless you!
We thank you for all your prayers and support and encouragement over the 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 that you you have always rendered to us, but now is time we had self-determination. It is time we “go fishing ourselves”, lest we become 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

BOOKS: http://repemuint.webs.com/books.htm
There are three titles by Pr Atukwatse Onesmus
“WITH JESUS IN THE SECRET PLACE”
“THE MYSTERY BEHIND YOUR DREAMS”
“DEALING WITH FAULTY FOUNDATIONS”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Outlined below are some of the possibilities of this project, plus some pitfalls we need to watch out for. We would appreciate your perusal of this and also your prayers. May the Lord direct us in the way ahead.
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 skilled administrator, 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 many that 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 on key 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 -

My prayer is that as you read this book, you will learn the secret of that secret place with Jesus. I pray that you will return there often and find your strength in Him.
“In returning and rest you shall be saved, in quietness and confidence shall be your strength.” (Isaiah 30:15, NKJV)

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.

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!
