The scene was fascinating, amazing and frightening. Here I was with these people, on a boat. They were rich people by the look of things, and I was with them. They were making merry and all was well and good as it is always is when the rich are gathered together. But then my gaze was thrown a bit away from this rich boat. My eyes were cast a distance away and what I saw frightened me. People were dying. Yes, lots and lots of people were drowning around the rich boat. I immediately realized that while the rich people were also aware of what was happening they, however, continued with their merry-making, oblivious to the plight of the drowning people. They were only focusing on themselves. No one was helping the drowning people. I saw kids screaming and clutching air as they tried desperately not to drown.
I asked the rich people around me to give me a hand and help the drowning people, but they declined, saying they were busy.
Then in the distance, in the horizon, I saw an outline of Jesus. He was speaking, to me: “All of you are so busy drinking and eating and dancing. You do not have the time to save my people who are dying in the furnaces of fire.” Immediately I saw a dove rise behind Jesus and He continued to speak. “The Lord made a covenant with man but man failed to keep up with it. I also descended on earth to have a covenant with my disciples, but they sold me out. ” Jesus did not end there; he added that “I left your generation with the Holy Spirit”, but no one entered into a covenant with Him.
But I did not do anything about the vision for a while-forgot about it- and a year passed.
The Angels
Then on Good Friday, 2014, I was involved in an accident –a vehicle accident. This vehicle I was in overturned. But an amazing scenario happened. The vehicle rolled over more than six times, but before it did something peculiar, something dramatic, odd, happened precisely before my eyes. I did not even know that an accident was about to happen when suddenly angels appeared and covered me, scooping me out of the ill-fated vehicle. And while this was happening a voice said “This time next year you will be baptizing my people.”
The people in the vehicle died except one person who was crippled because of the accident. He later told me that he actually saw angels spirit me out of the vehicle.
In June of that year I left my job and in November started with the ministry. In the beginning there were only the eight of us but now in April 2016 there is well over 500 congregants.
It has been a year since this the Spirit Covenant International Ministries have been in place. There have triumphs, there have been challenges and some sorrow and sad moments, and there has been joy.
I am aware that there is a mushrooming of the so-called ‘charismatic churches’, but I tell you only a few are a genuine voice of the Lord. The government helps people run the system of the world and cannot limit the spread of the churches, but it is the church that helps people spiritually to take them out of poverty.
I have been persecuted. Pastors have ditched their pastoral duties to deal with me and to disrupt, dismantle and destroy my soul and the congregation I am building. A group of disgruntled pastors in the area alleged that I sell drugs; otherwise how do I explain the rapid rise of my ministry? They asked of me. So they put the law on to me and I spent three days in the cells after which the charges were dropped because there was no evidence to their claims. Then there is the issue of the land where the tent is erected in Los My Cherrie, Daveyton. Pastors have bribed local councilors to take the land away from us. Local people dump their waste right here next to the tent without blinking an eye.
We are nowhere where Jesus wants us to be and we struggle with finances. But we soldier on regardless. To run the church to an optimum we need around R170 000.
I am a prophet of the Lord.
That is the story of my life; it has always been like this. I see things as they happen, like watching TV.
And the strength of this church is the power of the prayer. All the time. Always. In the next five years I want to have more than five thousand people in attendance in my sermons and later the numbers will swell into the twenty thousands at a time.
Let me share the vision of the church with you. It is the sanctuary of all who are ‘born again’ and who are willing to die for the gospel.
Our mission is to preach the gospel truthfully. We will eagerly unveil the mysteries of life and touch people where the mind of man cannot reach. The task will be great, unveiling the reality of life in the Bible. That is, taking the member’s life out of the Bible and making it real. We will also compare the power of the Word of God with the misleading earthly magic some people call the work of God. We keenly show those who believe the Power of the Holy Spirit.
In future I will share with you the Word of God with you and unravel many of the mystery in it for your enjoyment and fulfillment
May the good Lord make stronger with the work you are doing at the SCIM. May the whole world know about your good deeds and may you heal all the sick and take care of all the unbelieving. I wish your church to be the best and the biggest in the whole world and may it work for the Lord.
