"Living Beyond the Common"
Let no person deceive himself. If anyone among you supposes that he is wise in this age,
let him become a fool that he may become really wise – 1 Corinthians 3:18
As you move forward in your destiny, it is imperative that you surround yourself with individuals that will speak God's will and counsel into your life. Make sure you discern the voices and relationships you encounter as you seek to fulfill the destiny of God in your life.
This is the time to understand and know the season you are in and how to get the maximum production from that season.
¨ The people you surround yourself with must believe in what God is doing in your life and have the utmost ability to equate you with the greatness that God is performing in you;
¨ There are those who enjoy your personality and even your company as well. However, they may not be able to comprehend the purpose of God in your life - maybe not even theirs as well;
¨ They must be able to relate to the passion that flows within your life;
¨ They must be able to receive an impartation of life from what God is doing in you. Mind you, this is not meant to be one-sided, for the anointing that flows in relationships must be a mutual thing.
In the season we are in, God has released a Spirit of Expectancy – Grace/Favor. The same way we live with expectancy of things we hope for, He does as well. There is a fullness He is waiting for from us.
Know who believes in you and the things that God is performing in you. When your destiny is recognized, not by ambition or to be seen, but seen in its appreciative value, it will be received and imparted with all of its fullness.
But when it is not valued, it cannot be received! The way people perceive you is how they will receive you. So guard and protect your destiny from the spirit of familiarity:
¨ Can others equate you with the glory that God is performing within you?
¨ Do they feel it is an impossible thing that God has for you?
¨ Do they know that God has spoken to you or, do they feel it is a self imposed vision?
When Christ was performing His earthly ministry, wherever there was unbelief, or when He was looked upon as only "the son of Joseph," His anointing did not really flow in all of its fullness - Matthew 13:55-58.
But, when He was received in His destiny, the anointing flowed. He raised the dead. He imparted His life into those who hungered for what they never had before.
¨ However He was perceived, He was received...
When you begin to walk in your life's assignment, you will see how others receive you. In the realm of the common and the familiar, your life seems secure and stable. But God is one who calls you out of the realm of the common. He calls you into the realm of the prophetic, the calling forth and the creative wisdom of His Spirit – Ephesians 2:10; 3:9-11.
God is not common. He has never done anything "safe" or common.
¨ He created the earth from nothing – Genesis 1
¨ He divides water – Genesis 1
¨ He walks on water – Matthew 14
¨ He spoke a child into Mary, without the aid of a man – Luke 1
¨ He causes 100 year old people to have children – Genesis 12-22
¨ He takes the heat out of fire – Daniel 3
¨ He heals the blind with spit and soil.
He never does anything common. He is a God of purpose and design.
God's will for your life is as dynamic as the Spirit that indwells Him. And He has given us His Spirit to do and become who He knows we are to be. When you walk in your preordained life, it can cause a "turmoil – We are called to disrupt."
When you live in the realm of the common, people will not oppose you. Oh, we may face the common disagreements of life, but you have never faced a real opponent until you face the enemy of your destiny.
¨ When you are common, everyone knows your name and what you do;
¨ IF we have become one with Him in Christ, why should we expect that our lives would be common?
¨ You have to believe past your common place to receive the awesomeness of God.
When you do what your family tradition has never done, and go into realms of God never achieved by the familiar, people will not know what to call you. They will not know how to respond to you. They will have certain apprehensions about you because you are now different and have embraced God' will past the normal parameters.
¨ Surround yourself with people who believe in you;
¨ Keep a company of people who can equate you with the greatness that God has given to you;
¨ Do not allow others thoughts or perception of you and your assignment quench the fire of God's Life in you. You need that fire and that edge to accomplish what no one can do but you.
When Christ was recognized as "the carpenter's son," He could not do much. But when He was received as God's Son, He did what no one else could do!
With much love and encouragement for you to passionately pursue what you know to be true,
Francis
YEAR 2009 TESTIMONIES
JANUARY
More than 350 souls attend New Year Crusades, fourteen give their lives to Jesus while more than twenty received instant healing, testimonies were given live on the podium. The most notable testimony being of a child with sores on the whole body, then after the prayer of Faith, the sores dried up what a miracle from our most Gracious Lord has demonstrated. On the 4th and last day of the outreaches there were no trace of any more sores. Glory to God! AMEN!
By the grace of God we were also able to provide food and clothing to IDP--Internally Displaced Persons in Kenya.
MARCH
Great rural 4 days outreach, bringing together nine local churches and their Pastors, more than 400 attended every day, which resulted in 48 souls came to know Jesus as Lord and Savior and many were filled with the Holy Spirit---some church leaders were even speaking in tongues and having they all were having a real Holy Ghost experience for the first time in many years of Church leadership. God's presence was so real and you could feel awesomeness of God Power.
God healed more then that can be written about here, but one of the most awesome healing was the disappearance of a growth in a sisters neck known as a goiter condition she had for many years. This disrupted the big meeting for about an hour, when she suddenly screamed within a quiet time of the alter call," No growth, I am healed", and she ran up and down, others around her were slain under the Spirit of God as she past them by, the annointing on her was so powerful that I could hardly understand what was happening, until it was all calm again and people started running to the podium for testimonies, how awesome the power of God was on her and how as she ran past others, they fell under that annointing
what a wonderful God we serve, AMEN!
APRIL
Baptism service was held on one of the most chilly day, but still saw 68 souls deep in the waters some coming out of the waters praising God and speaking in tongues.
Ministry in deep remote areas of Northern Kenya where starvation is increaseing, following 5 years of failed rains. We supplied food and clothing. Thanks to a few well wishers who stood with us. We preached Jesus Christ and prayed for the sick who make the majority of the people we met.
We need more well wishes that is more people praying and donating finances and clothing, food, non-perishables, please contact either us from our page or contact Pastor Wayne of the Hands For Christ Ministries and tell him you would like to help us help other, your help will go a long way so please help.
JUNE
A month of many temptations but Jesus still brought about His Triumphant Glory. Our office was broken into and computers stolen including all data laptop, mission cameras and a few other notable items. God has helped us regain most of the lost data but not the items. Even though God has been near to give us peace as we continue in the missions. We still stand in faith hoping for some replacement, if anyone out there that is reading this has laptop computers, PC's, Digital Camera and Digital Video Camras that they are willing to donate please contact us from our main page or cotnact Pastor Wayne of the Hands For Christ Ministries and lets us kow you can help even with the funding to re-purchase these items we are still missing. We trust God to provide what we need through you and we will give the Lord the praise for all your help, God Bless each one of you.
AUGUST
We are now set for our yearly fund raise on the 9th day of August. Our annual conference will be on the 26th to 30th. We have visitors from abroad and know God will surely meet us in the point of our needs. The climax will be the ORDINATION SERVICE on the 30th for 7 gospel ministers who will be sent out soon in Faithlife Church planting strategy. Pray with us for God's victory as these precious Ministers accept God's Great Commission to Preach the Gospel to the poor.
Yours in Christ our Lord,
Pastor Francis

The Man with a Thousand Words to Say
Did You Know Evangelicals Are the Most Generous Givers, But Fewer than 10 Percent of Born Again Christians Give 10 Percent to Their Church!
I have to ask the question, Why?
"The earth is the lord's and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it" (Psalm 24:1 NIV)
Do we really believe this? If we believe this then why do we act like, "This is mine I earned it." You may earn a living but it is God who gives you the ability to earn. If God is the true owner of your possessions, then your role is that of a steward.
With the resources God has entrusted to you, you must seek to sow into His Kingdom in order to reap a heavenly harvest. If God can not trust you with a penny how can He trust you with His Kingdom.
Christians give despite recession, poll reveals
Christians are still giving generously to charity despite the economic downturn, a new poll shows.
Amid rising unemployment and financial uncertainty 16 per cent of Christians actually increased their charitable donations.
Over two thirds (69 per cent) said their charitable giving had remained steady and just one per cent said they had stopped giving since the start of the recession, polling company ComRes found.
A third of the general population intended to give less to charity in the first half of this year, according to research published in February.
“These results are a testament to Christian attitudes across the nation” said Peter Kerridge, CEO of Premier Christian Radio which commissioned the poll.
The biggest increase in charitable giving came from denominationally independent Christians with almost a quarter (24 per cent) finding a way to give more.
Mr Kerridge added: “As Christians we will continue to love our neighbor, even in times of need and financial hardship.
“Many charities around the globe, including Christian charities could not survive without donations from their supporters. I would like to thank all those Christians who continue to give to the causes close to their heart, especially when the UK is in a time of recession.” (The Christian Institute - http://www.christian.org.uk/news/20090624/christians-give-despite-recession-poll-reveals/)
This theme is being repeated throughout the Christian community, the U.S., India, Africa have all reported that giving is still the nature of the Christian heart. However, Tim Stafford of Christianity Today believes (and he claims—Jesus does, too) that one’s money-handling says a great deal about one’s soul. Evangelical Christians constitute the backbone of all American charitable giving, but they are far from biblically sacrificial. Despite great generosity relative to the rest of the world, American Christians rarely give to a degree that interferes at all with the comfort of their lives. What is more, evangelicals (like most Americans) are conspicuously private about their money; they discuss their spending and giving with no one, the church least of all. Thus, in spite of the appearance of impressive generosity, the evangelical church falls far short of New Testament urgency and sacrifice.
This is true in that Pollster George Barna’s report on American giving in general and evangelical giving specifically reflects a curious paradox. Evangelical Christians are far and away the most generous Americans, but they fall far short of the biblically commanded tithe that most such churches teach. That is, they are generous relative to the world, but disobedient relative to the Bible. Evangelicals Are the Most Generous Givers, But Fewer than 10 Percent of Born Again Christians Give 10 Percent to Their Church!
This was true in 2001 and is still true today. The question is why?
Do Worshipers Give God His 10 Percent? The Bible Commands Tithing. Some Churches Report the Practice Thrives, but There Are Skeptics
Edward Carlson. The Philadelphia Inquirer, March 11, 2001 Reports.
The Bible commands that believers support their churches through tithing. Some church leaders report that this practice is thriving while others are skeptical. Interviewed for this article are several leaders of black churches and seminaries who optimistically reported that tithing levels, especially in black churches, are on the rise. According to a survey conducted by a group of black seminaries, 45 percent of black church members tithe. But Christian researcher Sylvia Ronsvalle is skeptical of such claims. According to her research, American giving has actually been at an all-time low for the past few decades. She attributes the discrepancy between her report and other more optimistic reports to individuals’ incorrect self-reporting and a misunderstanding among laity as to what percentage actually constitutes a tithe. Whatever the truth, tithing is an act of faith that brings freedom to the giver.
Barbara J. Elliott. Philanthropy (May/June 2005).
“The problem with Protestant giving is less a matter of quantity than of quality,” says this author. While American Protestants give away a larger portion of their income than other faith groups, they often fail to plan and give strategically. For instance, “some of the best work is done under the radar screen by small grassroots” faith-based organizations, but have we searched them out? Or do we quickly opt for the large nonprofit with the glossy pamphlet? Elliott provides a list of characteristics that are more important in a charity than widespread recognition—such as building real relationships with those it serves. She encourages Protestants to think more carefully about where their money goes and to consider investing in the “street saints” of the world.People down enough to the grassroots who do the work closest to the needy and beneficiaries.
Thank You and God Bless
