After a month of waiting, University sent an email saying, its too late to join this year until in September 2017. I felt discouraged and hurt and had questions why would God allow me to do all the preparations and the packing of bags if I was not going to uni this year. I couldn't get an answer. Every time i entered my room and saw the bags, i felt more bad. I saw no point of having clothes on the packed bags and since I was not going anywhere, so I wanted to unpack. But I hesitated and that voice said, I shouldn't.. I kept on praying for God's help, my faith was shaken. Step by step i started to regain faith by prayer and bible study and when I could get time at work i could study on the health message.
By the end of November, One sabbath evening, I received a call from a friend, a lay evangelist, he wanted me to help in conducting evangelist campaign in giving health talks and its was in a week's time. I knew God was calling me to His work. I accepted the call and started to make preparations. To my surprise I had almost everything ready. The bag that I bought was a perfect bag to go with. Other preparations I had done them in September and everything was packed... Now, I understand God saw this trip and He prepared me for months before He called me to it. If I didn't do any preparations it would have been so difficult to do everything within a week and I wouldn't have enough money to do everything. Praise be to God..
(For all who are reading this, I want to tell you that, God knows our best, He allows things to happen to us for our good, although we dont see it, after a while we will understand. Jesus while on earth He said, in John 13:7 Jesus answered him, "You don't know what I am doing now, but you will understand later." (WEB) and other promise that goes along with this is in Romans 8:28 ''And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.'' KJV..... so dont worry when things dont look okay, God is still in control :)
Leaving going to the campaign I knew I would loose my job but God called me to it so I had no choice but to listen to God. The journey was the whole day. The village that the campaign took place was called "Tumbakose" In Dodoma. Its quite interior, surrounded by mountains and trees. People there, have lost hope of living, Satan has chained them with alcoholism. They drink from morning to evening. Fathers as well as mothers, children are not left out too, they are given to drink the traditional alcohol at a very young age, when a mother is drinking and the baby starts to cry, the mother gives her baby alcohol so quite her child, oh how, most children in the village are poorly taken care of.
For the two weeks, we did health talks, family life talks and preaching of the gospel. Last Friday of the campaign, The heavens rejoiced because 6 people were baptized, adding to the 2 church members and now the church has 8 members, Praise be to God. Apart from the talks and the preaching, we had health checks on Sundays and Wednesdays. Most of the people who came to check their health, didn't come to the meetings so I had a chance to share the gospel and tracks that were available. The Health Message is truly the right arm of the gospel.
Although 6 people were baptized, 12 people wants to learn more about God.
The work has just started in Tumbakose. Lets keep in prayers those who labour there.
Amen
