Dear brothers and sisters in our Lord Jesus, part of the growing repentance remnant, cleansing as His Bride, getting ready for His soon return as our Bridegroom-----
Psalm 51:1-2, 10-11
Have mercy upon me, O God, according to Thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of Thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.
Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from Thy presence; and take not Thy Holy Spirit from me.
Psalm 51 is one Psalm in the Word that is all about true Repentance. Every verse tells us of King David's cry unto the Lord for His Mercy and Forgiveness. King David truly showed us that he understood that Repentance is a Gift from God - a God Given chance to come right before God again - staying in the Reverential Fear of God.
And when we read the rest of the scriptures in 2 Samuel 11 onwards, we can see from that repentance he was forgiven and that God did not take His Holy Spirit from David, like He did with King Saul. Instead David was referred as "a man after God's Heart"!! (1 Sam 13:14, Act 13:22)
NOW: you may wonder - what was the difference between King Saul and King David. They both sinned, and messed up big time. But God Favored David over Saul. And the main reason was - David choose to Repent the minute God showed him his sins, but Saul didn't. Saul's attitude was - let God do what He wants to do, and he never sought an opportunity to Repent, and ask for forgiveness. Only after God had taken His Spirit and the Kingdom from Saul, did he plead with Samuel. But he never took the time to seek God for himself, and repented...
And today - 2000 years after the Crucifixion of Jesus, we as the Church, have so many more opportunities and chances to Repent. We have the Holy Spirit of the Risen Christ to lovingly convict us of our old sin patterns; to remove them and begin with Him to purify as His Bride. And we can receive God's Forgiveness even easier than what David had to do to seek forgiveness - for he was still under the law, but we today are under the Grace of God. Forgiveness is ours already - we just need to come before the Lord and receive it. Jesus already paid for it all. And thus Repentance is now even easier than before.
It is time for the True Church of God, to come and fall on their Knees again - and ask for forgiveness of so many wrongs - and actually seek His Face again. Like Jesus suggested in Rev 3:19 to the last of the 7 churches - Laodicea - "As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. "
And this is the very reason why and how the "Africa Kneels" Vision started in 2022 !! We all realised, it is time for Africa to come back to God, and fall on their Knees and Seek His Face again !! And Kenya was the First country to put up their hand and said, we will do this !! And Kenya is still focusing on this very need - that Kenya, and also all of Africa - must come back to God !!
And that is where Apostle Boaz comes in - he caught on this vision, shortly after Bishop Antony and Bishop Amoni (from Tanzania) started it - Apostle Boaz joined them, and started preaching Repentance with them - travelled long distances through Kenya & Tanzania to preach with Bishop Antony, joined by Bishop Amoni, and now also some of the pastors from Dar es Salaam also are joining this vision !! And the vision continues to grow in Kenya and Tanzania, and has spread officially now to 12 African countries already - but unofficially - the message has already spread to a number of other Africa Countries as well. Many are catching on this fire, and it is an only a matter of time that they will become officially joined to this Vision.
And here follows Apostle Boaz' message to us today. After they have been through lots of pain and heartache this year, like he wrote below - they will not give up on God. Repentance has showed them that God is Real, and that He loves them and will restore them, even when they are at a point of Death. They have discovered that Repentance is truly a GIFT from God, and not a punishment....
Today I took my wife in the church to testify - She was testifying about how it has been long, but God has been faithful to her
After some weeks of Illness I took her to hospital again 2 weeks ago to be treated again, and at least she is now in stable health!
She will be traveling upcountry next week to be observed (to be taken care of) at home. Being in the city the bills are so high, and this has made me to decide take her home.
We've learned through all this, that life has many challenges, but remaining faithful to God is valuable. Never give up !
Walking with God has taught me a lot, despite having challenges in life, sickness, bills, shame... But through repentance God restored my life - even at the point of death.
My life has been a testimony through Repentance, and Repentance is a way of restoration and healing. I will serve God with my heart, and I will not quit serving God
There is true healing in the church after people turned to God through repentance !!
No am not a bishop - Am an apostle by calling. I was ordaining one of the pastors yesterday.
Next week we are starting repentance meeting in Busia
Please if anything comes in, please let me know. We need funds for the hiring of the sound equipment, traveling costs, accommodation and food.
Apostle Boaz
You can watch Boaz' wife giving her testimony on FB:

Please, will you keep Apostle Boaz, his wife and family as well as their upcoming major outreach next week in Busia in your prayers. It was for this very meeting they planned in April of this year, when they ended up in a major accident, losing their son, which changed their lives forever. But as you can see they aren't giving up - the vision is to go and preach Repentance to the people in Busia !!! Please pray for their protection, and that God will bless this meeting in Abundance, and that many souls will be touched and saved by our Lord Jesus !!
Know that your faithful contributions are bearing much fruit in many African countries and will also impact the people in Kenya even further.
May God Bless Kenya !!
