Greetings
I wanted to share with you a few prayer requests at this
time.
But first I want to acknowledge the fellowship I have had
with you on this blog, though for the most part it is one sided and not much of
one. But it has been a pleasure for me to be able to be faithfully posting
messages God has been giving me.
Quite a number of them were messages that I had written over
the years since I got into the writing ministry, a few which have been part of
books I have published. Incidentally most of my books are presently out of
print because for me books are more ministry than business. I therefore end up
giving most them as God leads. The last one ‘The Encounter, The Confessions of
a Successful Pastor’ came with the order that I do not sell any and so I gave
out all of them. I continue to be amazed at how God is able to use a book to
transform someone. Incidentally the ones I give bring in more testimonies than
the ones I sell which rarely do, if ever. They are many times timely and
interventional.
If you have been following my blog for some time you may
have noticed a season where God brought very tough messages. They were
challenging for me as I wrote them. Then I sensed that the series had closed
and felt God strongly wanting them to be compiled into a book, and this I did.
They were the messages from August (the first being ‘Seed and Sowing’) to the
first post of November (The Priestly Odor). Two of them, though they came in
the same season were not strictly part of the flow and I placed them as the last
two chapters.
I need the resources to print them and I can feel the
urgency of the message. I have already sent soft copies to many to read. You
can send your e-mail address and I will do the same for you though I just
converted it from a blog post to a book. Even as I minister I am getting to
connect with people crying for that message and I can only give only bits in
such meetings. Please pray.
There is also a Bible Study I prepared some time ago
especially for missions. As I have gone to places without Christian materials,
the urgency for provision of the same is tremendous. English has so much but
the problem comes when a translation is needed. There is so much red tape
before the required permissions are got. We went to Mozambique early last year
and that is what happened. We got a translator but could not get the
permissions. We had to do with oral permission. To date we have not gotten the
permission yet most of the books we printed have been dispersed to Mozambique.
That is the reason I prepared that Bible Study. Then whoever can translate will
be able to use it. Again for me ministry is not about the money I can get but
the impact Christ desires.
There are also many other books that are ready for printing
but again I need the resources. Most of the ones I have published are
completely out of print with a few having only a handful of copies.
Please pray.
I am praying about online publishing but God has not given
any order concerning the same though I feel it may be the way to go. Please
also pray concerning that.
The writers I am helping have their books printed are
another challenge. So many have very potent messages yet are not in a place to
print for lack of resources. For the most part I do what I can which involves
encouraging them, editing their manuscripts and doing the layout so that they
do not worry about paying for such services. I also help them get the most
affordable printing rates even if I have to do a lot of the work myself. I
might eventually need a printing press but that is not a priority for now.
Contact me if there is something you feel God wants me to
know or do. Feel free to ask any questions as that is the way we grow. If
someone has commented on the blog I haven’t noticed probably because I am new
to this blogging ministry.
You can get me on gitumastudent@yahoo.com.
But pray.
I will continue doing what God orders. Pray that I continue
maintaining my focus on Him
God bless you
