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-----
Galatians 6:7-10 NKJV
Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.
Throughout the scriptures, you will often find the prophetic symbolism used in the context of Farming - like sowing and reaping, or putting your hand to plough - Luk 9:62 "And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.", etc...
The reason for this is that God is trying to get a deeper message through to us, as His children, to understand, that whatever we do on earth, will cause some or other result. It will either become a blessing or a curse in our lives. And He encourages us, to make wise choices - giving us clear indications of what will bring good fruit into our lives, and what will cause bad fruit in our lives,
If you sit with some bad fruit in your life today, and are wondering what you can do to change your life around, one of the best options you can take, is first of all to forgive yourself for the choices you made in the past, and then Repent - meaning Turn Around - and start making better decisions - based on God's Word now instead - and not based on the Worldly Ways of doing things anymore...
Like Galatians 6 tells us - to receive God's blessings in your life - is to SOW towards God's Spirit. Now you may ask, how do I sow towards God's Spirit ??
And the best way to do that, is by opening doors for God's Holy Spirit to come in and to bring change into people's lives (like creating opportunities, and/or removing blockages and any other obstacles in His way, making it easier for Him to move and to touch lives) - first into your own life, but also into the lives of others..
And there are numerous ways you can open doors for God's Holy Spirit to move - like prayer, inviting Him into any situation - as He doesn't just walk in un-announced - He needs to be invited - but also to sow into God's Kingdom Work - either by giving your time, like ushering, or preaching the Word, praying for the sick, or sow towards missionary work...giving not just your finances, but also your time and putting in effort like volunteering to help out in whatever is necessary or whatever opportunity comes up, making it possible for the gospel to be preached and/or making the lives of those in the mission field - be it pastors, or just volunteers - just a little easier to bring the Word of Salvation to people - either in your own country or even in another country...
And as you do that, God will in return bless you - He will bless you with Spiritual and Physical Gifts - even write your name in a book of Remembrance (Mal 3:16) - so not to forget the works that you did !! And these books will be opened one day before the Lord, and He will reward you abundantly for every work that you did for His Kingdom to be spread across the World - and for people to get saved. (Rev 12:20)
So, Never think that your little bit you can do, is too little to even make a difference.!! Remember the Widow's mite that she sowed - Jesus took particular note of her !! (Luke 21:1-4)
And we at NDR present you with regular opportunities of where you can sow, or make your time available - either in prayer, like joining us on our weekly Zoom meetings or even in volunteering to assist in admin work, or technical assistance, or whatever else we may need... As we are not a church, nor are we funded by any churches. We need your support. The Repentance Pastors in the different countries need your help and support. They will go where you and I can't go. Let's make it possible for them, and let's make their lives just a little easier.
Below is some feedback received from Bishop Edward as to how Farming is used now to touch hearts in their nation of Malawi, and also the 3rd message, how the children's lives are being touched through the message of Repentance.
This year has been a great year for Jesus Farms Repentance ministry
When Repentance preached miracles follow and that's the joy of Repentance according to Mark 6 v 12
With the vision of Repentance farms, few years ago under Glorybox project during covid19, National Repentance Malawi is uniting pastors and intercessors in the places we are doing Jesus farms
One of the recent Jesus farms is in Thyolo Khonjeni, where we launched the 2025 January Repentance prayers at Evangelical Church of Malawi
After the Repentance Flame was ignited by the Holy Spirit the local pastors are meeting in the upper room every month and have recivied the gift of Repentance already !
Last month end they met and over 27 pastors attended
They have caught the fire of Repentance and inviting other pastors to join them as time of playing church is gone!!!
When they heard of Balaka Jesus farms by Repentance they got fired up in the Spirit. They have now found a land to start a tomato and onions garden
Though a repentance friend they rented a land and bought maize seeds
What pleases me most is that after their monthly Repentance meeting last month they went to the garden to work on dry ground
This is humility and sacrifice by the Repentance pastors
Great need is now fertilizer at 250 dollars
Most of the pastors are local skilled farmers
And with Repentance Malawi the Khonjeni pastors have organised a 3 day Repentance conference in Khonjeni THYOLO
BISHOP Fedson An 83 old pastor and book binder is coordinating it
The vision of Jesus farms is being replicated in other Repentance ministries through our Acts 6 v 3 teams
Apostle Sellina in Thyolo was also empowered by seeds by our team to grow maize
She did harvest and are now able to feed her family and few members as they preach Repentance
Apostle Richard Mbewe of Glory of GOD Pentecostal Church also had a good harvest. We prayed together on the phone daily for rains
Bishop Hilda of Church of GOD Thyolo testified that after preaching Repentance she is farming and feeding the needy she just had bumper harvest
Pastor Amon of Blantyre rural kids in Repentance has also harvested to feed kids in Repentance
This is the vision of the feeding of the 5000 by Jesus over 2000 years ago, now continues
Balaka Gideon Farm is the main farm in Balaka
The pumpkins cucumbers and maize were ready 2 months before Malawi normal harvest !
When we pray and repent around the farm people get saved and healed and receive gift of Repentance and not punishment
Pastor Mind thanks Pastor Jeff and Global Repentance team for support
Peas from the farm to be ready in June - third year in a row
With our own farm we planted late this year but sweet potatoes now ready waiting for harvest. The maize there will be ready soon
At Joel farm people stole our maize due to hunger. We harvested green maize Some of it we gave to the people around the farm and they repented of stealing and witchcraft !
The vision or Jesus farms soon goes to Mozambique in May
Over 350 pastors will gather to repent for Mozambique
We are praying for this big mission !
***********
Balaka Gideon Farms and repentance ministry has stood the test of times for over 10 years because of team work and repentance prayers by Pastor Mind and Balaka North pastors
This has seen growth of Jesus farms, pastors Repentance and prayer ministries, establishment of Balaka Town repentance ministry by Bishop Evance Khobidi and women ministry by Apostle Sebita in Balaka
With Global Day of Repentance support, Africa kneels, America Kneels and Australia Kneels we bought our own farming land in Balaka and we will stop renting land for cultivation of different crops
In Balaka we planted twice this farming season
First harvest was ready by mid February
And good news is that crops at the second farm is now ready with sweet potatoes and maize
The crops have survived floods, cyclones, drought and shortage of ferlizers
This has been possible due to team work, Repentance and prayer around the farm
Once the harvest is ready we are praying with Pastor Mind that by mid this year we start molding bricks to build a Repentance conference hall. Once it's completed we will not hire a hall for conferences anymore. We will build a small prayer hut. And We will also stop renting lodges in Balaka and save money !
Some people will also pay to rent the hall and boost finances of national Repentance Malawi. This will be our milestone project ever in National Repentance Malawi
We trust GOD it will be done
Silver and GOLD are His
In Khonjeni Thyolo Pastors working on tomato farm
We pray for fertiliser support
Praise GOD

*******************
The first believers in the Risen Jesus Christ shared, gave to each other, as one heart: " Now the multitude of those who believed were of one heart and one soul; neither did anyone say that any of the things he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common. And with great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace was upon them all." (Acts 4:32,33).
As a Reminder - please also help us in reaching the schools in Malawi like the primary school in Chauwa, in receiving clean water as well as the Real Water of LIFE - the Gospel - through the Preaching of Repentance.
Giving to the poor opens up one's heart and brings you and me closer to the LORD. It's a powerful part of personal repentance. This is part of cleansing as His Bride; He's the soon-coming Bridegroom. Here is Proverbs 19:17. " He who has pity on the poor lends to the LORD. And He will pay back what has been given." The Message version states: " Mercy to the needy is a loan to God, and God pays back those loans in full." And Pastor Jack Hayford's footnote, page 826, New Spirit Filled Life Bible, opens up this process in a profound Way: " The LORD Himself will repay us---not necessarily with wealth and comfort, but with the honor of reflecting His character by the sacrifice we make on behalf of the poor."
***************************
As part of our GIVE 12 Project, as of March 21, a total of $10,771 , just over 20% of our monthly GOAL of $50,000, had come in from our precious friends thus far.
Will you please add to this what the Lord places on your heart? You'll be reflecting His character. God LOVES a cheerful giver, "and God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things and at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work." (2 Corinthians 9:7,8) "The generous man [is a source of blessing and] shall be prosperous and enriched, And he who waters will himself be watered [reaping the generosity he has sown]. (Proverbs 11:25 (amplified)
Virtually 95% of the funds in the GIVE 12 PROJECT have gone out to address very real spiritual warfare and physical hunger battles being addressed by our repentance-preaching brothers and sisters, helping them bring in new believers in the growing Kingdom of YHVH.
God bless you, and THANK YOU!
Jeff
