Dear brothers and sisters in our Lord Jesus, part of the growing repentance remnant:
Eph 4:3,29
Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
Ephesians 4 is a well known scripture when we mention the 5-fold ministry, but very few have seen the deeper message hidden in this chapter. The Apostle Paul wrote this letter to the Ephesians not just to understand the Ministry Gifts that Jesus gave the Church, or about our spiritual armor, but when you study the 6 chapters of Ephesians, you'll notice that he was trying to share a deep revelation about God's purpose with His Church !!
And then in Chapter 4 - hidden amongst the very famous verses on the purpose of the 5-fold ministry - the Apostle Paul also tried to encourage the saints to keep the UNITY amongst the believers. He emphasized it in verse 3 - by stating that we need to "Endeavour to keep the unity" - meaning that we need to put in effort, and work at it. Endeavour is a Verb, meaning to do something.
This then brings us to James 1:22 - telling us to be "Doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves."
And this is where Repentance thus comes in strong. Without "Repentance which is for the Forgiving of sins" (Luke 24:47), there can never be true unity amongst the saints. We will always find something that can cause trouble between any 2 people, whether it be in a marriage relationship, family members, a particular church community, or even in a working environment - there will always be some or other conflict rising up. And if we don't find the time, to deal with these situations, and truly repent and forgive each other fully, like God forgives us, when we repent before Him, the same conflict will rise up over and over again, and people will get hurt, and relationships will crumble and fall apart, at some point or the other.
Repentance and Forgiveness should be an important part of our daily lives as a Christian family, we need to place it very high on our priority list. Only once we all value these Principles/Keys Jesus / Yeshua gave us, we will be truly blessed as His Children - His Bride - in His Kingdom.
And the Pastors in Malawi are starting to realize the importance of this message, and are starting to really work together, overcoming their differences amongst the different dominations, and are taking hands, standing together and reaching their communities for Jesus / Yeshua. They had noticed that their differences were bringing so much division in their neighborhoods, and the believers are not walking in the Love of God at all. They were always tripping up over all the different religious differences, and thus living separated from each other.
But since they started understanding the message of Repentance - the atmosphere is changing in Malawi, with one church after the next, starting to reach out to each other, and starting to join hands, and working together. and they are also starting to see God's blessings on their land, and their farms.
Here follows some recent feedback from Bishop Edward, as he is moving between the different Jesus farms, and Churches, encouraging Repentance at every opportunity he gets.
It was colorful today in Blantyre
"Revival Fire Ministries International Church" today and "GOD of Possibilities" have merged together to preach Repentance together
National Repentance Malawi facilitated the memorandum of understanding today after service
Prayed for nations today - Prayed for USA, Israel and Malawi today
Praise GOD
Pastor Dorothy a member of our prayer team donated flags to us to use in prayer and repentance conferences
She asked me to take her video to send to you [see video below]
Praise GOD
Hello Dear Pastor Jeff
Bishop Faduweck called from Khonjeni farms
Said last peas harvest ready
They could not believe when I told them to share within their families and the needy
Unity in motion
Praise GOD
Psalm 133
Khonjeni Jesus farms vision refuses to die among all the 4 Jesus farms
The ministry of Jesus farms had been more visible in Khonjeni than other areas because of unity that is prevailing at the Jesus farms
The Repentance pastors and farmers continue to brace cold and heat wave to farm at the Jesus farms as volunteers
Whilst at the farm every Mondays and Fridays they do special Repentance prayers to pray for the sick and lost
With a blue tooth speaker they also tune in to Repentance messages to revive their spiritual lives
Most of them are old pastors but by the power of the Holy Spirit they engage an extra gear in Jesus farms
They have 3 plots of tomatoes and a plot of Irish potatoes
Green vegetable farming phased out due to dry spell last month
We managed to aply fertlizers after making our own through Pastor Patrick Makatanje son to Apostle makatanje who was sent to learn how to make organic fertlizers few months ago
This time the project of making fertlizers had ceased at the Jesus farms due to lack of materials they couldn't make fertlizers
We need minimum of 300 dollars to make 3 bags of fertlizers
Another challenge is on water engine pump for irrigation
We negotiated with another supplier who reduced his second hand pump to 400 dollars but still we can't afford it
Today Repentance farmers are at Khonjeni Jesus farms staking tomatoes with trees as they produce
They also applied chemicals against pests and cold weather
A testimony is that last week we had only winter rains this season and they did not irrigate today as the land has moisture content
At Joel Farm in Blantyre the farm did not do well because of lack of fertlizers
The harvest was little
We did not do winter cropping as this year there were no rains
In Balaka at our own Repentance farm we did harvest maize and sweet potatoes and shared with the needy families
We also planted beans and sweet potatoes but the crop was destroyed by goats and cows
We will then plant in September pending rain season
Other churches and ministries now emulating Jesus farms concept and producing food crops as well to care for the needy as well
Thanks and GOD Bless Pastor Jeff and team for the support
Blessings and Peace in Jesus name
