Your First Mission Is Your Family - Don't Let Go of Them! — Keith Daniel

Thank you for the joy that you have given me. I've been able to come back to your church and thank you, dear brother Jay, for leading us with such joy, with such wonderful music and lifting up our hearts and spirits in God's presence.

It is a joy to always be back here and it's a joy to hear this lovely orchestra playing in a sanctified way for the glory of God and to have such a zealous leader. No wonder they are perfect. With a man like that, they dare not be not perfect.

It is a joy. I sat here thinking and praying it would be lovely if you put a CD or a tape of some quality outwardly because of the quality you have here. And I'm quite sure Christians across your land would long for it once it got known of all the best, most loved pieces that your orchestra plays.

And I think that would go down very, very well. Well, bless you, every one of you, for being here tonight. Bless you, brother Joe, brother Jay, for letting me come back. And bless those of you that have come.

It seems like Thanksgiving means a lot of people aren't here because normally this place is full, but that doesn't matter. All that matters is that God is here and I'm very grateful that you're here. Can we have a moment of prayer, please?

Can we just bow before the Lord Jesus in a quiet moment? Father, we bless Thee that we as Thy children can bow ourselves in Thy presence and worship Thee. We thank Thee for Thy Father heart and we, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto our children.

But how much more shall our Father, which is in heaven, give good things to them that ask Him? We bless Thee and praise Thee that Thou art not just God, but our Father, our Father which art in heaven, and hallowed be Thy name.

We bless Thee above everything for Christ, Thy Son, for His blood, for His death, that He died on the cross for me, that the blood of God has washed me. We bless Thee for Thy eternal love, that He was before the foundations of the earth.

He was a Lamb of God slain. In Thy great heart toward mankind, Thou art eternal. We bless Thee that Thou hast in eternal wisdom known how to save men to the uttermost. All who come to Thee through Him, Thou art able to save to the uttermost.

We bless Thee, our Father, that we're kept by the power of God. We bless Thee, our Father, for Thy Holy Spirit. We bless Thee for Thy holy word. And although the letter killeth as it stands, the Spirit gives life.

It giveth life to us, revelation, light, and through the word of God we're able to come to know Thee. Through Thy promises we're able to embrace Thy faith and through grace be saved as we embrace the promises of God concerning the shed blood and the death of His Son Jesus.

We bless Thee for this holy book and what it has meant to us in our survival from the moment we came to know God and how each time we've been through this book it became ten times more thrilling the next time.

As we were able to compare scripture to scripture, and Lord we know if we were able to read it 800 times that that 800th time would be oh so much more than ever before because there's no ending to this book.

No ending to the depth. No ending to the greatness of it. No ending to the heart of God. The unsearchable riches of Christ have just touched the surface, most of us. And in shame we confess to Thee, forgive us that we have not dug deep into the heart of this book for in it is God's heart, the mind of Christ, the thoughts of God, the words from God's heart to man.

Oh God take this Thy book and visit us through it tonight that each one of us may become conscious we have to do with God and not man. Keep us under the blood of Christ here tonight, safe from Satan, that terrible evil foe that walketh about as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour.

We tonight would resist him steadfast in the faith knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in our brethren that are all over this world. Come our Father we realize we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

We come to Thee carefully to take the armor of God in order that we may pray with all prayer and supplication in the spirit. Come our God and through our faith quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

Through our faith undo all the strongholds of Satan. The weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds, all his strongholds, every device, every plan, every seed he's sown in every heart to try and blind the eyes and harden the hearts and cause despair and unbelief.

Our God we come and ask Thee to shelter us under the blood of Christ, protect us, cleanse this atmosphere of this building from the powers of darkness with the blood of Christ. Wash me in the blood of Christ, fill me with the Holy Spirit and move by the risen resurrected power of Christ, the angels of God and the Holy Spirit upon our hearts and lives and this building tonight.

Visit us for we all ask these things in the name of Jesus the Christ, God manifest in the flesh, Creator, Judge and Saviour of this world and for his glory we ask these things in faith of our Father which is in heaven.

Amen. I have two readings tonight in the Old Testament, both in the Old Testament. The first is this one verse in 2 Samuel. 2 Samuel chapter 23, the second reading will be found in Malachi, the last book in the Old Testament.

Malachi chapter 2, to those of you that have brought God's holy word with you,. 2 Samuel chapter 23 verse 5,. Yet he hath made with me an everlasting covenant, although my house be not so with God. Yet he hath made with me an everlasting covenant.

And then in Malachi chapter 2 from verse 14,. The Lord hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth against whom thou hast dealt treacherously. Yet is she thy companion and the wife of thy covenant, the wife of thy covenant and did not he make one, did not he make a covenant?

Yet had he the residue of the Spirit. That word there, residue of the Spirit, is the same words used in the book of Daniel and also concerning David. He had an excellent spirit. So excellent was the spirit on David in his walk with God that Saul feared him just because of this spirit, this excellent spirit.

So excellent was the spirit on Daniel from a boy that there was no man like him, no man who had such an excellent spirit that staggered every generation from a king's down to his enemies. And here this covenant was made when this man had an excellent spirit.

Did he not make one, God says, yet had he the residue of the Spirit. Wherefore one, why did he make such a covenant that he might seek a godly seed, a godly seed, godly children from this union, from this covenant, this covenant before God when he had such an excellent spirit that he might bring forth godly children into this world?

Therefore take heed to your spirit and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth. For the Lord, the God of Israel, saith that he hateth, he hateth, he hateth putting away, he hateth divorce, he hateth, hateth, hateth divorce.

A Family Is a Christian Man's First Mission

In this world, your first mission is your family. If you are rightly related to God, your first mission is your family. And the title of this sermon tonight, the title of this sermon tonight is, Don't Let Go of Them, Don't Let Go of Them.

Can I share with you a strange secret here tonight? Threaten, who threaten to leave their wives and family, don't want to. Most men who threaten to leave their wives and family don't want to. But pride makes them unable to back down.

Pride makes them unable to back down from radical, irresponsible statements made in weak moments of despair. Most men who threaten to leave their wives and family don't want to. But pride makes them unable to back down from radical, irresponsible, irrational statements made in weak moments of despair.

I knew a man who under great stress, under great stress, fought and argued with his wife continually. He fought and argued with his wife continually, even though they were Christians, even though they were Christians.

And then one day, one day he just despaired as this fighting just went on reaching proportion he never thought it could come to. And he looked at his wife and he said, I cannot go on another day. I'm leaving you.

I don't care what this costs. I'm leaving you forever. And with tears pouring down his face and trembling, he walked away from his family. And in a few brief moments he had gathered some essential items so swiftly that it staggered his family house swiftly.

He just grabbed a few essential items and walked out of the door, out of his home. And then he went down to the car in the street and as he was opening the door of the car, suddenly the front door of the home opened.

And his wife looked out at him and she called out, wait, wait for me. I'm coming also. So he was a bit staggered and suddenly she had grabbed a few essentials so swiftly it was staggering that she needed.

And she stood on the other side of the car waiting to get in and he just looked at her and she said, if you're leaving, I'm leaving with you. Now he thought for a while and he says, but that defeats the whole purpose of me leaving.

You can't come with me. I can't stand this any longer. He says, I can't live like this any longer. So with tears coming down her face she said, I'm sorry, I can't let you do that. You see, when I stood before God with you beside me and I vowed to God till death us two part.

For better or worse, I meant that and I thought you did also. And you and I may have great differences that we'll have to sort out. And I'm willing for my side, I'm willing to drastically change. No matter what it costs me, I'll change.

Cannot let you leave me. I'm sorry. You're stuck with me till the day you die. And he looked at her for a while and then suddenly burst out laughing. He really saw the funny side of this whole thing and she began to laugh also, a little bit fearfully.

But she laughed also when she saw him laughing so loud. He walked around the car, he put his arm around her and he began to walk back to the house door. And then he said something to her that was more staggering than what she said to him.

He said, my dear, for a moment there, you had me worried that you wouldn't come out fast enough to stop me in time from leaving you. For a moment there, you had me worried that you wouldn't come out fast enough to stop me from leaving you.

How close it comes when a man makes a decision in a heated moment. How close it comes when a man makes a decision in a heated moment that could separate a family forever. Oh, don't let go of them, beloved.

Don't let go of them, beloved. I know of a man who crumbled mentally, emotionally because of the continual war between him and his wife that just wouldn't end. It escalated and wore him mentally, emotionally to the degree that he just crumbled emotionally one day.

And in his despair, he looked at his wife and said loudly, but sobbing, he meant it, I'm going to divorce you, I'm going to divorce you, I'm not living like this any longer, I can't, I can't survive. And he took his suitcases and put them on the bed and began, while he was sobbing, trembling at what he was doing, he just threw his belongings as much as he could.

He put his belongings into the suitcase and his wife, his wife just looked, trembling, fearful, weeping. But she said nothing, she said nothing. And then he walked down the passage, still weeping, trembling, walked to the front door of his home, opened the door, and then he looked around and he saw his two little boys standing in the kitchen, looking at the front door, looking at him, holding on to each other, weeping, with fear in their eyes that their daddy is walking away from them.

And as he looked at those boys holding on to each other, weeping like that, with such fear in their eyes, he put his bags down and still weeping, he walked to these boys and he said, my boys, it's better that daddy goes, for you, you can't live like this, and daddy and mummy can't survive, daddy can't survive.

You're going to have to be brave, my boys, I have to divorce your mother. I want you to stay with your mother because I'm going to leave the home here for you and mummy. And daddy will work, daddy will provide for you till the day daddy dies.

Daddy will keep so little back for himself, just to survive, but I will give you most of what I earn till the day I die to provide for you, my boys. And daddy will come whenever he can, whenever they will let me, I will be waiting for you to see you whenever I'm able to.

For the rest of my life. And then he said to his eldest boy, will you be okay, my boy? And his eldest boy said, I think so, daddy, I hope so, daddy. And then he looked at his youngest little boy and said, you will be, you will be okay, won't you, my boy?

And his youngest boy looked up and he said words that seemed to rip his heart and soul to say, no, daddy, I won't be okay. I need you and I need mummy together. And if you don't stay together, daddy, I won't survive, I won't survive.

And then his little boy crumbled onto the ground and he groaned with such groans. His father crumbled onto the ground. His brother crumbled over his little brother holding him. And the mother crumbled in the passage onto the ground.

And the father went and picked up his suitcases, walked back to the bedroom and began to unpack his clothes. And the mother came and stood next to him. And he looked up at her and he said, you and I are going to have to make great sacrifices.

We're going to have to make great sacrifices to work things out for their sake. But I cannot do this to them. I cannot leave them. That man never left his wife till the day he died as an old man. And the Lord Jesus, this amazing Savior of love, saved that home a few years later and worked healing and forgiveness and love that is beyond comprehension in that man and woman and the children that only Christ can ultimately do.

The Devastation of Abandoning a Family

But this is the staggering thing, beloved. This is the staggering thing. Began in that marriage, in that home, not when Christ saved them as a family. Oh no. Began in that marriage and in that home when that man realized his family could not survive without him.

Began when he realized that his family wouldn't survive without him and that his conscience wouldn't survive if he left them knowing that. Most people that left their family didn't want to leave, but pride stopped them from admitting it.

And most people that watched their loved one go didn't want them to go. But pride stopped them from preventing them going. And they forever look back in sorrow and continual grief that they did. Most men who threaten to leave their wives and family don't want to.

But pride, pride makes them unable to back down from radical, irresponsible, irrational, irreversible statements they made in weak, tired moments of despair. And you, a Christian family years ago that was so exemplary, it's hard to be able to relate this whole story to you.

This man had the most beautiful wife. Her beauty was in her purity. She was so refined, so refined into Christ-likeness that she commanded the respect that most Christian women will never find. She was so beautiful in her character and the refinement of God the Holy Spirit in her Christ-likeness and her gentleness.

But she was a beautiful woman. They had two sons, two fine sons that excelled above all other youth. They stood out as examples to the believers. Though they were teenage boys, academically at school they didn't have homeschooling.

In Africa, like we have it now, suddenly taking over because America's proved it. But in the schools, traditional British colonial schools that are among the best in the world, these boys excelled to such a degree no one could come near them academically.

The eldest one was just the achiever of the school. His younger brother was fast on his heels.

He was just blossoming. These two just blossomed in life.

Fine, fine boys, fine family. Then one day, that father walked out of the door forever. Family. Oh, the devil is powerful. That he could do that. The devastation that came in that home, but I had no idea to what degree that devastation really was there until one day I was walking a few weeks after this news spread that this man deserted his wife and family.

I saw his teenage boy sitting in the gutter along the side of the street. You don't do that in my country unless you've hit rock bottom in life. No one would sit in the gutter. And as I realized who this was, slouched over in the gutter, his head down, I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

And I walked in a circle until I sat beside him and he looked up. I was stunned how a teenage boy could age in three weeks. As that boy had aged, his eyes were so swollen he could hardly look through them.

He was a wreck. He was such a wreck, I trembled. I trembled. And I said to him, listen carefully, your daddy made a terrible mistake. But because of your father's mistake, that does not mean that you must wreck your life.

If your father makes such a terrible mistake as he has, it is not reason enough for you to let this destroy your life. You are an achiever. You can get up and you can go on. And his little lips quivering, his eyes hardly able to look out, the tears just pouring out down his face.

He said, sir, when my father walked away from us as a family for that young woman, something died, something died forever inside of me. And he hung his head down and sobbed so violently that I didn't quite know what to do.

After a long while I had to leave him in the gutter to sobbing. I couldn't sit any longer. I saw it while after that he was dead, in tragic circumstances that I cannot relate from this pulpit. I saw it while after that his brother was dead, in equally tragic circumstances.

And a few months later the mother was dead. I won't be able even to begin to tell you why. You don't need sickness to die. Years later, only once I saw that man. Since that occasion, and I could not believe what was left of a human.

I couldn't believe what was left of that human. And he said these words to me. I knew when I walked out of that door that night, I knew I was destroying my whole family forever. But brother, I still walked out.

Knowing that, knowing that. I cannot tell you the way this man said these words. That I could undo the wrong I've done. I can't tell you. I haven't got the ability emotionally to tell you how he died.

When I was first married, my wife and I were in Cape Town, a very large city of many millions of people. And one Sunday night we decided to go and hear a certain preacher of great repute. But we couldn't find the church.

And so eventually when we looked at the time I said, well we are so late now, there's no point looking on, let's just go in this church. It's a very evangelical country, probably the most evangelical in the world, apart from Ireland and parts of America.

And so we packed the car, we went inside. The service was probably halfway through, halfway through the sermon this minister was preaching. And the strange thing is as we sat down, he stopped preaching.

And he looked carefully at me, and he looked long at me and Jenny. And then when he continued, I was so astounded at this man's ability with the Word of God. I thought to myself, where has this man been that I've never heard of him?

I don't think I'd ever heard anyone preach like that in my life. If I have, God forgive me that I don't remember recalling the amazing ability with which he spoke. I was so staggered, I literally trembled.

Who is this man? Why is it that I've never heard of him? Toward the end of the sermon, suddenly he stopped and he looked at me again. And then tears welled up in his eyes. And he said these words that I'll never forget.

Young man, don't ever run away from your responsibilities in life. No matter how many problems you face, face them with your responsibilities intact. Because if you leave your responsibilities and think you can find less stress and easier road, you're wrong.

Leave the responsibilities that are yours in life and your conscience will drive you to despair for the rest of your life. You will live in torment. And he said these words, your life will be close to hell on earth in the end.

And the tears were pouring down his face when he said those words looking at me. I'm almost 100 sure it was no one else his eyes were gazing at. And he put his head down into the Bible and sobbed like a baby in the pulpit.

No one knew what to do. Jenny and I eventually left without anyone else stirring. We just got up and walked out. I got home. I decided to find out who this man was. I phoned around asking different people.

No one knew. Eventually I got hold of all the Christians. One very old godly man, a household name throughout Southern Africa. I told him about this man and his name and he said, Oh, Brother Keith, is that where he is?

He said, Brother, when that man was a young man like you are, he was set to become the next Andrew Murray of South Africa. No one has ever had that said of him before him or since. The church was bracing itself throughout the land for what God was going to do through this amazingly anointed gifted speaker.

But then he walked away from his wife and his children and took hold of a young woman in the same church, divorcing his family and embracing another woman. And, of course, the church buried him forever.

Until now, I'm amazed any pulpit allowed him. No one ever heard of him since then, Keith. No one. No one knows of him. This staggers me that someone has found him again. It staggers me, my boy, that he's even allowed in a pulpit after what he did.

Oh, beloved, your family, your family is your greatest mission on earth. Don't let go of them. Don't let go of your children, beloved. Don't let go of your children. Eli, Eli let his sons go. Eli let his sons go as they rebelled and became wicked.

He gave up. He gave up all hope of them ever being reached by God in truth because of their rebellious and wicked ways. But the shame of it is that God blamed him. God blamed him for their tragic end.

1 Samuel 3 verse 13 says,. Because his sons made themselves vile, and he restrained them not. He restrained them not. He didn't make a strong stand against their living wrongly. He didn't challenge the wrong they did until it was too late to redeem them.

There is a book in the Bible, Proverbs. I've memorized it. I so loved it. It had such a profound effect on me. And I take it as a sermon at times as God leads me and just take the train of thought on different aspects throughout that whole, just one thought linked to the other right across to the end, whether it's concerning a wife or a child or a son or a father or a family.

The wealth a man has is not measured by what he has in finances. God says he's in poverty. The only wealth a man has that can bring him any happiness is a family, a godly wife, godly children, and if he's a man of God that made them thus.

But if you were to take this book of Proverbs out of the Bible and you were to print it as a unique book, published just as a book, all on its own, a single document, and you were to title it and put on the cover a title, there's only one title you can give it.

Your family is your greatest mission on earth.

Don't let go of them.

What does God mean by that? Oh listen, what it means to let go of your responsibility concerning a child. Proverbs 13 verse 24,. He that spareth his rod, he that spareth his rod, hateth, hateth his son.

But he that loveth him, chasteneth him with times. There's times you have to get the message through, Father, this stops. And if you don't, no one else is going to, Father. You hate him, God says. You're his worst enemy he'll ever know on earth.

There's times you as a father before God, and by God's responsibility to his soul, must get the message through, this stops now. This is going to stop. He that loveth him, chasteneth him with times. 19 verse 18,.

Chasten thy son while there is hope. Isn't that staggering? God says that. Let not thy soul spare for his crying. 22 verse 15,.

Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child,.

But the rod of correction shall drive it far from him. That's a promise from God. God promises this. No matter what the governments of this world say. 23 verse 13, Withhold not correction from the child.

For if thou beatest him with a rod, he shall not die. Thou shalt beat him with a rod and shall deliver his soul from hell. You think it's a sermon your son needs. No, he just needs a father. A father that is in touch with God.

That believes God. That fears no man but God. Thou wilt deliver his soul from hell. Are you waiting for a good preacher or good sermon to come along? Sit. He's going to go to hell if you don't reach him.

Many times children don't need and won't heed to any sermon. But they will to a father that loves them enough. Chasten them till they know this. God, out of love for you, my responsibility before God.

Because you are my first mission. 29 .15. The rod of reproof gives wisdom but a child left to himself. A child left to himself, Eli. Eli was godly by the by. But godly people can make grave mistakes. A child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.

Moody makes much of that verse. In the way to God. Probably the greatest book ever written on God's love. You have to be the hardest human on earth if you don't weep through that book. A mother. A father comes to shame far sooner than a mother.

Moody will give you the reasons why. How even a murderer a mother will sit with as he's about to be hanged. And still show him love. But a father long before that will withdraw in shame. But eventually possible mothers can come to.

This word literally means forsake in the shame. It's a beyond healing. Shame. Correct thy son and he shall give thee rest. God says. Yea he shall give delight unto thy soul. I could go on. God is not speaking here of a big rod.

Hanging behind the door. If you point to each time a child does something wrong. Or walk around after the child if he does anything out of place. His rod. Oh no. God's not even speaking about a physical rod.

Although that's literally the meaning in the Hebrew. But if you read this book as it should be read. And that is in the light of all scriptures. And if there's no verse concerning the same doctrine. That contradicts your interpretation of that verse.

Then you have the right interpretation. Otherwise you're in heresy. That's why you have to handle this book. You have to devour it. As a source of life. You have to be balanced. And the only balanced way is not to be like a Jehovah Witness that can quote a verse.

But heaven help you. Heaven help him if you quote the next verse. It undoes what he says. You have to take this book in the light of all scriptures. And if there's no scripture concerning that doctrine.

That subject. That topic. That in any way disagrees. Or contradicts it. Then you have the right interpretation. And that's why we have to be balanced. On fire but balanced. Be on fire and don't be balanced.

Otherwise you'll do the devil's work with your fire. In your own home. It always begins in the home, you know. Any extremity in any doctrine. And you can find any doctrine. You can go to extremity if you're willing to blind your eyes to the rest of the Bible.

But brother, sister, don't break his spirit. God warns. He fathers. Provoke not your children to wrath. You can, you know. You can make them so angry against God and man. That they'll hate Christianity through your discipline.

Discipline isn't going to be the one means by which a child. You can send them to hell through your discipline. If you're not utterly Christ-like. He fathers. Provoke not your children to wrath. But bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

You know what that literally means? Let God bring them up through you. Why? Because you're so yielded that the Holy Spirit is in the fruit of the Spirit. The wisdom of God. Christ-likeness. Take that out of a father's discipline and you've got a monster.

With a rod and scriptures behind him. Oh no, no. Don't hide behind these scriptures that you lose control, father. In your un-Christ-likeness you just lose control of life. And you stand and say, this gives me the right, you know.

And you take out all your stress and your sin. Your failings come out taking him in. You'll drive him to hell disciplining him. I know a man who stood in front of me with his little child. And said, when I beat him, he knows he stops.

I don't play the fool. I beat him until he tries to crawl up the wall with his nails. Then I stop. The next day the child committed suicide. You see, that father had lost all of it. They didn't have to jail him.

He jailed himself. He became like a cabbage mentally. As his conscience destroyed him for doing that to his boy, to his sin. That's sin. One child, sir, needs a look. One look. That's all that child needs.

You know it. Conscience tells you he doesn't need a rod. The whole message here is the discipline that has to get through. Where a child needs it. But some children don't need to be beaten. He just needs a look.

That little girl needs just a look. And she's more wounded at hurting you. More mortified. More hurting that she's in anyway. You don't have to beat her. Just that look is all. Another child needs a good spanking.

Until they get the message, you know. In the same home. But you don't go beating a child that just looks a look. Just needs a look. Otherwise you're sinning. You're sinning. Sir, if your discipline doesn't hurt you more than it hurts the child, you're sinning.

I'm not talking about the pain in the hand. I'm talking about the heart. You see, if that child doesn't know this grief, this hurt is more in your heart than in your hand. They don't love you for discipline.

They don't sense the grief, the hurt that's making you resort to this. And the love. You'll drive her to hell, sir. Don't hide behind scriptures unless you're Christ-like. The devil uses scriptures too, you know.

Even when he faced God. Let alone you. If you give him half of a chance to tell you. Right from he, right through to Jesus. Right through to angels that come as angels of light. There's scripture. Just forget the rest of the scriptures, though you're in trouble.

I would say forget 90 of the rest of the scriptures that cry out. Vital reality with God is all that matters. And the only reason you can have the right to use any scripture at all, ever, in your life.

Is vital reality with God. Oh, it's the idea of discipline that has to get through. In our country we had a man called Pastor Juma. D-U-M-A. A black man, a Zulu man. A Baptist minister. He was so loved in our country.

Seldom has a preacher ever been this loved. As our Pastor Juma was by the throngs of Christians of all denominations. Loved him for what he was. He was godly. He was Christ-like. He was so humble. But what this man so staggered the world with.

There's a book on his life that spread throughout southern Africa seldom among. Perhaps Andrew Murray's books I would say are the only ones that you could just. But this man's life was so revered because of his life.

That most homes have it just as an accepted item in the home. Our Pastor Juma. The great thing about Pastor Juma was. No single man in the history of South Africa was ever so honored by God. In the healing of people.

As when this man would pray for Christ in mercy. For God in Jesus Christ's name to heal sick dying people. Eighty percent of the thousands and thousands. He was just dragged around the land. To death beds.

To cancers. To hospitals. Intensive care. This man was just dragged in. Eighty percent of every single time he prayed they were healed. That moment he healed totally. So that even in hospitals. Doctors.

Specialists. Nurses. Would fall down on their knees. And give their life to Christ. And so. Some people can exaggerate. Let's face it. But you don't exaggerate about Pastor Juma. The half hasn't been told.

That our country will tell you. I have been in so many homes. People who were dying or crippled for life. Like cabbages some of them. They were so unable to even dress themselves or eat. And that man prayed and God healed.

The moment. Oh thank God for Pastor Juma. He never used to raise his voice you know. He was such a gentle man. I do believe the more Christ like we become. The more of a gentle man. We are. Being a Christian does not give you license to offend.
