Dear brothers and sisters in our Lord Jesus, part of the growing repentance remnant:
Matthew 7:24-25 NKJV
“Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.
This very familiar scripture in Matthew 7 is part of the closing statement of Jesus' "Sermon on the Mount" - one of His very first sermons at the beginning of His Ministry. This sermon actually comprises of 3 Chapters - Matthew 5, 6 & 7, and is worth studying every verse, especially if you are a committed Disciple and follower of Jesus - as so much of the depth and the Hidden Mysteries of God's Word are captured in these 3 chapters.
And thus the reason why Jesus ended His sermon with this statement: "Whoever hears these sayings of Mine and does them..." !! For it is all about being a Doer of God's Word - then you are compared to a "wise man".
We often refer to this scripture about building your house on a rock, then referring to Jesus being the Rock of Ages. But we never emphasis enough the part of DOING what He taught us. And that is where the deep secret lies in God's Word. Putting our Faith into Action.
Yes, we need to Build our FAITH on the Rock of Ages - but then we need to put that Faith into action. Like James wrote in James 2:14-26: "Faith without works is dead". We have to put into practice what we read in the Word, and apply the principles of God's Kingdom - which are the "KEYS of the Kingdom" Jesus was referring to in Matthew 16:19 that He is giving us, in order to receive the Results we so much desire.
But in order to receive these "keys of the Kingdom" - which are Kingdom Principles we need to learn to apply in our daily lives - we need to come into a place of Humble Obedience before God - by First Submitting to Jesus as our Lord and Receiving Him as our Savior, Repenting of our sins, and then Receive the Power and the Presence of the Holy Spirit.
Like the Apostle Peter preached in Acts 3:19 that we first need to "Repent and be Converted" and in Acts 2:38 he also said we will "Receive the Holy Spirit". For without the presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives we will never be able to fully understand the depth of God's Word. He is the only One that can open the Word for us, explaining it to us, and then also give us the Power and Authority to put the Word into Action. Without Him, everything we say and do, is like "dead works" - there is just no life in it. But with the Presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives - every word and every deed comes to life, and you see the promises of God manifest in your life. No wonder Jesus took also 3 chapters to tell His disciples about His coming in John 14 to 16!! Like Jesus said - if He (Jesus) doesn't go to the Father - the Holy Spirit can not come to us (John 16:7)
And we can't just preach all the time and tell everyone about all the wonderful promises in God's Word, but then not put the Word into Action. Then it will stay just that - "wonderful promises" - but we will never see the actual promises manifest in our lives! Which is why people who are only following Jesus in a Religious way, lose hope eventually and wonder off to some other religion, saying that this "Christian religion" is bringing them nowhere!
We need to show the world that God's Word is True by living the way the God requires of us to live and speak. Then the world will see that the Word is True (Rom 12:1-2 "...that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God")
Thus, to be a real Christian isn't just about Religious practices ! It becomes a way of living!! It applies to what and how we think, what we say and how we act... We just can not afford to think, speak or do like the world - which has no faith - cause then we will also receive what the world receives from God - which is nothing !!
Jesus also told us in Matthew 15 & Mark 7 that "...traditions makes the Word of God to no effect". Meaning if we stick to worldly and even religious traditions, we cause the Word of God to lose its power !! And thus by just following religious practices only, not obeying and applying God's Word, we won't see any of the promises come into manifestation!!
The "Hidden Power" of the Promises of God is in the DOING what the Word says! It is by believing the One Who said it, and then you step out and apply it! That is when the miracles happen.
The 3 young friends of Daniel are such an example to all of us of what FAITH really means - when they refused to bow before the golden image that King Nebuchadnezzar commanded everyone to bow before it. They had no physical guarantee that God would in fact come through for them, but they stood their ground and believed in their God in the face of all adversity and death - and said to the king in full assurance of Faith in Daniel 3:16-18: "...our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us from your hand, O King...".
And we all know what was the end result of their faith. God did come through for them, and did deliver them from King Nebuchadnezzar's hand, exactly as they declared.
And that is what Faith means - when you have no physical assurance to hold on to - like no finances, no medications, no doctors, nothing physical to depend on - but in the face of your adversity you choose to look at the Cross of Jesus - and you make a declaration what it stands for - And you believe with all your heart that the promises of God are True, "Yes, and AMEN in Christ Jesus" (2 Corinthians 1:20) - you will see and receive the results you believe God for...!!
And that is where Apostle Sebita and these little kids of this very new vision of the "Breakers Generation" are now standing. This vision is totally new. No one else has dared to step out by faith and do this. But when Apostle Sebita caught the vision of having kids of a very young age being taught in the Word while they learn their ABC's, she jumped at the idea, and put her hand up and said - we will do this!!
But, she had been facing all kinds of challenges - the landowner is non-stop on her case - like you can see in the message above - they want their money, and they want to move on and build their own place. And they are all walking by faith, waiting for the finances to come through - in some or other miraculous way - all while these little kids are being taught in the Word, and learning their ABC's, with very little physical materials to accomplish it..!!
But come to think of it - this is a dream that every Christian family has - that their kids must be taught in the Word of God while they play, while they eat, while the learn to read and write, while they learn to add and subtract, and as they growing up, learning the wisdom of God from godly believers, and not from the world.
What most of us would have given if we could go back and be taught real Godly faith from this young age again!! It is just so much easier to learn to Believe and Trust God at a very young age, when you haven't been influenced much by the doubts, fears and unbelief of the world. Godly teachers walking by faith in God can be a firm example and really cement "faith and trust in God" into a child's life from a young age.
So, let us all invest in these kids - pray for them to succeed - stand with them and the teachers in faith, trusting God that He will help them all to acquire this land, building this school literally from the ground up, and truly become an example to not only Malawi, but to many across the world of what it means to Stand in Faith when you have nothing to depend on, but God only!!
Here follows some further feedback from Apostle Sebita...
Hello ps Jeff, I trust that you are well and good.
The vision of breakers generation is a vision that God brought to me as a confirmation after ps Jeff mentioned about children care that was done by his wife, the breakers generation vision is a ministry that focuses much on children that's under 5 and those that are orphaned and under privileged.
Isaiah 59:19
"So shall they fear The name of the Lord from the west, And His glory from the rising of the sun; When the enemy comes in like a flood, The Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him."
Our main goal is to equip these children with the word of God as they are young, raising a generation that will grow not believe the lie of the enemy and also blocking every lie that comes like flood just like the surging waves in the sea, the breakers generation will always stand as barriers not passing the enemies lies to the next generation.
It is a big vision that needs more prayers and support to be fully established as so we started the program in the area of T/A NJEWA, Chikhuthe village, from February to this month we have registered about 300 plus children.
Since the time we started we have been having challenges with the learning place ,we only occupy 30 per week in one room that is now taken from us because it was a government property and now they are using it as a community clinic.
After seeing how the program was welcomed in the community and the overwhelming number of children we sort to look for a place that we could permanently build a center for these children so that they can staying at the center full time as they learn the word of God and also education. So far we have 3 volunteers giving service to these wards and also bible class teacher who works in collaboration with me.
After we stopped using the government room which is now a community clinic,we had to go a certain church where we asked the pastor to allow us use their church as a class room and he accepted, since school was closing already we didn't use the place so far and its today that I went to meet the children at church and notify them of our upcoming bible classes soon.
With these challenges we together with ps Jeff thought of getting a place and this land was cheaper that the other, we secured a 2 and half acres on 15 million Malawi Kwacha which was fair that the 40 million kwacha we were offered by some on the same size of land. So far we have paid about 8.4 million remaining with 6.6million to complete the payment. [$3800]
We already have some paper signed for the land purchase what is remaining is the balance to get the title deed and completely own the land.
We plan to build on this land God willing, class rooms, dinning hall and kitchen, chapel and hostels for the little children.
So far the community is very impressed with the program as many in the community finds it difficult to send children to school and also the culture practiced in that community contradicts the word of God
It is for this main reason that we want to grow this vision in this community and so far we have testimonies from villagers on how this has impacted their lives and that of their children positively.
There's a very huge challenge financially that is choking the progress of this vision, we lack proper learning materials and also toys to keep the children focus,
Thank you so much ps Jeff for the support you give since February, but it's our prayer to see doors open more so that we can be able to build this center and accommodate more children to grow up a big team of BREAKERS GENERATION.
We plead for support and partnership to make this work.
Attached is the picture of me today as I visited the children just to encourage them and their parents of our upcoming bible classes.
May God bless you sir
Sebita
