Prayer For Elias

The Lord has been doing a mighty work in Mozambique; establishing believers on that one True Foundation even the Rock Christ Jesus, bringing unity and a shared vision among the brethren in the region. Brother Elias is instrumental in all the Lord is doing and travels vast distances to visit the various fellowships, not sparing himself in the work of the Lord.

Those who have traveled through Mozambique will know that there are many hazards, stray animals, pedestrians and dangerous drivers to name but a few. While en-route from Chimoio where he lives to Lichinga in the north to visit fellowships in that area, Elias was involved in a serious road accident. Early reports suggest that the vehicle Elias was traveling in narrowly avoided a head-on collision with another vehicle traveling at high speed toward them on the wrong side of the road.

The driver of the vehicle Elias was in swerved to avoid the collision, taking his vehicle off-road where it rolled a number of times throwing Elias clear of the wreckage. The first bits of news we received indicated that Elias had sustained some very serious injuries including multiple fractures, a head wound and that he had lost a great deal of blood.

 

It is with thanks to God that Elias and those with him where spared and miraculously a friend of the driver came upon the scene a little while later and recognizing the car was able to render assistance. Without such prompt intervention Elias could have bled to death on the side of the road waiting for help.

Last reports have revealed that Elias lost a lot of blood, dislocated and tore ligaments in his shoulder, suffered a head wound and a broken or crushed vertebra in his back. The most worrying injury is the damaged vertebra which has rendered Elias immobile for the time being. It appears likely that Elias will need a specialist depending on the severity of the injury.

 

Please pray for Elias and his family. Pray for his healing and speedy recovery, pray for means to assist this brother no matter what may be required and pray for the work and believers in Mozambique who will feel most keenly this attempt by the wicked one to undermine their faith and confidence in the Lord Jesus. The Lord is building His Church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it but as this incident so clearly proves it does not stop the enemy from trying!

As and when more information becomes available we will post it to the Blog.

Thank you Gerrit for the pictures of Elias.

True Light Men's Camp 2012

A long and winding road led us up the mountain under heavy skies and a biting wind to the beautiful Heavens View Mountain Resort. Brethren from the many True Light and End Times Talks, Northern Suburbs and Southfield Fellowships all gathered together on the Galgenberg just the other side of McGregor, filled with an earnest expectation.

In hindsight no one could have anticipated how clearly and unmistakably and powerfully the Lord was to speak to us. Comments on the ministry included words like “intense”, “gentle”,” loving” and still others were left speechless and overwhelmed by the power of the Lord addressing Himself directly to our hearts.

The searchlight of God’s Word exposed deep and hidden paths in our hearts, areas we had long avoided in fear of what lay buried there. He called us to sanctification even as Samson was set apart unto God, a Nazarite from his mother’s womb, warning us of the danger of defiling ourselves with the world even as Samson defiled himself with Delilah and when he thought to shake himself as before he wist not that the Lord was departed from him.

 

Many came forward and were held up in prayer as they cleared themselves before God and renounced the hidden things of the heart, recommitting themselves to Him. The call on all our lives was clear, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before; we must press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

This weekend was not about renewal and recommitment, it was about getting on with the job, arising and setting our hands to the plough and not looking back! For this reason the Lord poured out his Spirit baptizing some in the Holy Ghost, who spoke in tongues for the first time while others he refreshed and opened wells long since gone dry so that the living water may flow again!

This account does not and can not do justice to the scope and measure with which the Lord spoke; you just had to be there! Please contribute your testimonies either by commenting on this post or via Email. Pictures from the weekend would also be appreciated but please resize to a few KB’s and send as a JPG, PING,or GIF file.
