Sharing our experience and challenges that we went through after setting up this fire ministry ....
The odds were against us when we incorporated CKRM in 2007. Not only did our new ministry not get any help from any Christian organizations, we were also treated as the new kid on the block that nobody wanted to befriend. Some pastors, due their lack of insight of our calling, used their power of influence and connection to discredit and isolate us. Even our mentors succumbed to the pressure of the pastors, removed their spiritual coverings and disassociated with us.
On one occasion, a pastor led a group of his church leaders, stormed into our premise, and disrupted our meeting. While in a neighbouring country, someone made a report to the authority against us, and we were also surrounded by thugs. We went through severe difficulties and insults were hurled at us, thus confirming 1 Peter 4:14, “If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.”
It is only by God’s grace and strength that we were able to overcome, stood firm and fearless because we knew without a shadow of a doubt God called us. We did not compromise with the VISION that God had embedded in our hearts, nor our INTEGRITY.
We stayed true to our calling without COMPROMISE out of fear of men, nor be a people pleaser. We were not afraid that people may leave. LOVE alone without TRUTH is compromise.
As a result, our ministry went regional within 2 years and then on to the global scene. We must guard our hearts at all times. TODAY, God opens global doors and pours down His flood gates of blessing upon AOF Global to spread the fire across the entire globe. Hallelujah!
Revelation 3:8
I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name.
The Transition Begins ...
The Transition Begins ...
No power of darkness can stop what the Lord has ordained (Isaiah 14:26). Our trust is always in God alone to bring in the co-workers and the resources, without having to manipulate anyone or solicit for funds. Hudson Taylor quotes, “God’s work done in God’s way will never lack God’s supply.” Our dependence is on God to open doors of ministry for us and the anointing of the Holy Spirit will draw in the harvest as in Proverbs 14:4,”Where there are no oxen, the manger is empty, but from the strength of an ox comes an abundant harvest.” And the gifts of the Holy Spirit will bring in the connection ... Proverbs 18:16, “A gift opens the way for the giver and ushers him into the presence of the great.”
Apostle Paul said in 2 Corinthians 3:1-6, “Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, like some people, letters of recommendation to you or from you? You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everyone. You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts. Such confidence we have through Christ before God. Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim anything for ourselves, but our competence comes from God. He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant—not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.”
Grace be with you and I give all glory to God!
