I know some of you have been wondering what has happened to the
Newsletter or the "Webservant."
Surprisingly, I was wondering the same thing too. I went through
a time of seeking the Lord and it led me in all types of places
and experiences, willingly. It has helped to mold and make me better. God will
never be mock, he that soweth to the spirit must reap spiritual
things.
For those of you that are recieving this
newsletter for the first, here are some testimonies from previous letters (please forgive me for not sending you the welcome/invitation
letter and info as I usually do before you get
any newsletter):
"Encouraged to see what the Lord is facilitating you to do in
His kingdom. Continue doing an excellent job and duty for the
Kingdom. God speed."
--Evangelist K. Smith, Toronto, Canada
"Bless God, It is a great blessing to be sitting hear and
reading these woderful words. Keep up the good work. I would like
you to send your mails to my two children in the states."
-- B.Brown, St. Ann
"Thanks for your newsletter I have learned much from your
teachings."
-- F. Calvin, unknown
"Praise the Lord Jesus, I must confess that this ministry has
been a blessing to me. 'I must confess that your last letter got
me so uplifted in spirit that I can off the computer shouting
praises to God.' Please continue with this ministry it has been a
blessing to me. May God continue to guide you."
--R. Brown, Jamaica
"your email is well-worth to read. I've visited your site. They
are great. Thank you for the newsletter. God bless you, And keep
up the good work!"
-- S. Tirtabudi, Newcastle, Australia.
"I received your e-mail. I have also visited your Web site. You
have been doing a fine job-keep it up."
--Bishop H. M, New York, USA
"It gives me great joy to sight your letter and website
contacting me on my e-mail address."
-- Rev.Vijay Daniel Shinde,New Bombay,
India
One of the main reasons for me being off the
scene for a while is that I had to learn what the bible calls
"Justification." Not read about it, but by experiential learing. I
thought I was doing well and "on my way." Only to find out from the
Lord that before anyone can operate in any capacity of ministry,
they must have a clear understanding of what Justification means -
none par. Sorry to say most apostolics, lack this understanding.
It means much more than approval. It guards
the very core of one's salvation. It also mean that if you're
broke, falsely accused, rejected, homeless,
friendless, confused, etc, you're still his child and still
very much saved and effective.
I remember going through this 'period' (what a term to call it) at school and I
was led by the Lord to do a school ministry but felt insecure because
of the state I was in. I was so preoccupied with
the enormity of my condition that I didn't even realize that the college had
sought it fit to make me apart of the student government and even
opted for me to speak publicly.
However, when finally led by the Lord to this
School bible study, he told me to speak on baptism for the
remission of sins. I hesitated because I was at church all night, in
the Lord and my presence wasn't the most environmentally friendly
(for a while too). But by justification, I remember what the Lord
said in a similar instance, "remember who you are."
So I opened my mouth and clearly begun from
the gospel to the Epistle on baptism. The other Leader and staff
advisor came out with strong resistance being teachers of
'beliefism' alone for salvation. Nevertheless, the unsaved person in
question couldn't resist the words and opted to be baptised in Jesus
name immediately. I told her she had to wait until tonight. She kept
calling me until she was baptized later that week and now seek the
baptism of the Holy Ghost.
I have had similar opportunities
like these to speak God's word but because of the condition I was
in, I thought God must have wanted me to be quiet for a while, or
worst off, I thought no one would ever listen to me. I had fail to
realize that he was teaching me one of the most fundamental and
key parts of our salvation, that every born again believer
should know - Justification. The lessons that I learnt are invaluable and I can
now stand on my own with Jesus.
Space would not allow me to explain the meaning
of Justification, so I've prepared an unedited pre-internet radio broadcast
that was done on justification. I must admit, it's not a short
recording. But if you're save and feel incomplete, you must listen
this audio file. One of the worst separation in the history of
man is not the church and state, but the church and the state some
of its members are in.
If you're ostracized, abused verbally,
forsaken, insecure, broken, depressed, confused, oppressed,
suppressed, have not a clue where God is, can't seem to fit, can't
seem to get that marriage working or that single life satisfied,
can't seem to get that ministry fulfilled, often bewildered, often
feel alone, can't seems to make ends meet, everything says give
up-God don't care, and this illusion is experienced while being born
again; let me leave you with this, "remember who you are."
Some how you have fallen, disapproved,
disgusted, shamed, seems like you're on the brink of madness, all
you really want to do is get away, run, fight or retaliate,
"remember who you are."
Stuck between decisions,
making stupid mistakes, know one seems to understand you nor your
situation, coming to church in masks, facades and role playing,
feeling insecure, doubtful and often fears, "remember who you
are."
If you are sick, broke, and
verbally slaughtered by your peers and leaders, yet still
abiding under the shadow of the almighty, "remember who you
are."
Now are ye wash, now are ye sanctified, now
are ye cleansed; "behold, now are ye the sons of God and it doeth yet
not appear what ye shall be, but..."

Believe it or Not?! ------------------------- "In August
1998, a silicon chip was implanted in my arm, allowing a
computer to monitor me as I moved through the halls and
offices of the Department of Cybernetics at the
University of Reading, just west of London, where I've
been a professor since 1988. My implant communicated via
radio waves with a network of antennas throughout the
department that in turn transmitted the signals to a
computer programmed to respond to my actions. At the
main entrance, a voice box operated by the computer said
"Hello" when I entered; the computer detected my
progress through the building, opening the door to my
lab for me as I approached it and switching on the
lights. For the nine days the implant was in place, I
performed seemingly magical acts simply by walking in a
particular direction" - Prof. Warick (
