Abundant Life

The Lord tells us in the gospel of John 10:10 (NKJV):

The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

A couple of days ago we had the privilege of hosting the Speak Jesus National Prayer Meeting in Krugersdorp, (Jesus Dorp), and we saw the abundance of the Lord.

I think what touched my heart more than anything else was the servant’s heart of the people that were organising the event.  I was so proud of our local church on the farm, that closed its doors, our pastor took the congregation up to Krugersdorp to serve with the many others that were serving everywhere.  There were paramedics and doctors… I was so privileged again to shake hands with Jannie Du Plessis, our famous Springbok prop, who is also a doctor and his dear wife. They were both serving, for free, the people who were suffering from, nothing drastic, just heat fatigue, low blood pressure etc., and they were doing such a wonderful job.  Then there were those who were making tea, taking care of the physically handicapped, getting them to the field in their own vehicles.  The Ushers on all the entrances, their smiling faces, and the way they just loved the people, touched me so deeply. Not to mention the way in which they looked after the bands, the choir and the sound system. The side screens were all done immaculately and for that we give all the praise and honour to the Lord.

We need to do things for Jesus with a spirit of excellence and a spirit of humility and then the Lord does the rest.  We saw many, many people coming to Christ, making public confessions of their faith, we saw many people delivered from alcoholism, drug addiction, immorality, adultery, a spirit of fear, depression, anxiety, stress and then we saw many people healed.  It was a wonderful, wonderful day and again the people sat and they never moved in that heat and it was extremely warm, the sun was beating down. But there was a gentle breeze and we could feel the presence of the Holy Spirit at that wonderful event. It is one of the highlights of my life and we thank God for His goodness and for the people of Jesus Dorp (Krugersdorp) who called us to come and help them to bring the fire of God, not only to that place but indeed to the nation.  We are believing again for nothing less than a national, and in fact a world-wide revival.

Jesus bless you
