A SPEECH ADDRESSED TO MEMBERS OF
“WORKERS TOGETHER WITH HIM”

AT THE CLOSING OF THE SEMINAR AT KYELA, TANZANIA
15 JULY 2003 TO 19 JULY 2003

 

On behalf of Brothers and sisters in this seminar; on behalf of all those involved in serving this seminar from the beginning up to this moment; on behalf of all Pastors, Evangelists, Ministers and other Church leaders who are present with us here:

It is very special to say a few words to you, Brothers in the Lord Jesus Christ, “Workers Together With Him.” It is an exceeding honor before God that by His grace, He has led us step by step to this hour.

Truly it is difficult to explain how we have been blessed by your wonderful anointed teachings. We believe that Almighty God has been equipping many of us step by step, stage by stage, one after the other with weapons of spiritual warfare, and it is my conviction that members of this Seminar are not the same as when they first came. May God help us to remain in these teaching, and then lead us into His deeper Mysteries.

We appreciate your team work, your love, commitment and tolerance. All these were constant witnesses to us of your sincere serving heart to your Lord Jesus Christ first, then to us His flocks.

Although we have been with you for only a few days, it is true that we have many good things that we wish to speak, if only we had a proper language to speak of them preciously. But now we have found a language that can do better than a language of earth.

It is only worthy to give Him glory, honor and thanksgiving, Him alone, God Almighty, Who has done this good work through your Ministry.

Like the Body of Christ, each one of you had a very unique role to play, and honestly we want to thank God for you individually.

Br. Rev. Tim as the main speaker in this seminar, thank you very much for what God has done through you. It is our prayer that you may receive more grace from God to minister to other people like us throughout the whole world, like Paul in Colossians 4:3, “that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ.”

Br. Rev. Jerome, we thank you indeed, especially when we remember your hard time when you put effort to learn bits of Swahili words, your preaching to us and many more other things indicated to us that you are a caring Minister.

Br. George: We thank you so much. Your calmness was not alone, but always your face showed us a loving smile which will be very difficult for us to forget. May God keep your heart the same as your face and bless you more on this earth and that to come. Amen.

Br. Rev. Evan: May the Lord Jesus be praised for your service, advice and humbleness to your call. We admit that it will take time for us to forget his moments of sharing with us the Word of God. (Titus 3:15)

Br. Stephen: We bless the name of our Father in Heaven for him, especially when we remember his worshipping ability and prayers which have been of great value to us all. He was even ready to share with children when they called him “Mzungu.”

It is only because you have said that you think of coming back again, that is why it has become easier to say all these Words as we part each other. Otherwise it could have not been easy. We Christians of Kyela say thank you so much for this. We have seen the Church edified, strengthened and exhorted throughout your teachings and prayers, therefore making complete the whole body of Christ. Spiritual warfare has been identified, weapons of war provided and the enemy identified.

Thanks be to the Lord most high. (John 4:23,24; Ephesians 6:10-12).

God who knows to reward His people accordingly may bless you abundantly. Amen!

Yours,
Members of the Seminar in Kyela, Tanzania
