Steve's Back

Dear Friends,

I have returned back to Windsor early, arriving Saturday afternoon due to a serious illness setback and have gone to the Doctor here for a chest xray and bloodwork , as my flu-like symptoms persist.

I sincerely thank you all for your financial, moral and prayer support and I truly believe that I made a small difference to a lot of people while making this trip in faith. We plant seeds and allow the Holy Spirit to water & nourish them.

PLEASE continue to pray for a miracle healing for the 30 yr old son of my overseer Bishop Joseph Mugo whose name is Joshua.

Again, I thank each of you, your support meant everything to me on my journey.

In HIS Service,

Steve Beecroft (Njamba)

Plan and Enjoy

Christmas is coming, are we ready? Start planning so you won't be stuck shopping the week before christmas and can acctually have friends over and enjoy the holiday. Make a list of who you are going to buy for and set a budget. Now this is the tricky part. You have to stick to it. You can find something for everyone at any price. You may need to look around a little but you can do it. Remember, Christmas is not about getting someone a bigger and better gift than someone else or even last year. It is about celebrating Jesus and all he has done. It is about spreading his joy and his love.
So plan ahead and enjoy this Christmas for the first time!

From Wisdom to Wonder

I've been looking at the wisdom of Solomon for the past week, I've shown how many people honored and gave solomon great gifts for his wisdom. I've explored the queen of Sheba and I will continue to search out the mysteries surrounding her participation in the bible. I've shown how the queen had poured out lavish gifts for the wisdom that she received from Solomon. Then I showed how Jesus answered the pharisees regarding queen Sheba and as He demonstrated His wisdom was made self evident.

The question that I received today is; what is more powerful then wisdom? And it leads me to this verse in Isaiah

Isaiah 29:14 (New International Version)

14 Therefore once more I will astound these people
with wonder upon wonder;
the wisdom of the wise will perish,
the intelligence of the intelligent will vanish."

I believe the church needs to desperately act in the realm of wisdom, there have been so many times where we've seen glimpses of wisdom but we want to see it in it's fullness. But beyond wisdom we need to see the Wonder. Not just the signs and wonders but the wonderment of mankind. Have we reduced God to a fluffy imaginary stuffed animal that we can hug when we need comforting. Or do we worship the Lord who is more mighty then a lion and yet gentle as a lamb. Do we see God in wonder?

I posted a picture of a cathedral in quebec that exemplifies the artistry in man to try to depict the vastness of God. Just walking into these old cathedrals brings a sense of wonder and awe. How do we in our plain box shaped, bad acoustic building resonate the awesomeness of God. Where is the majestic royal songs and artistry that cries out past all wisdom and understanding that the Lord of hosts is in this place?

The answer is in the building that God is preparing, You. Christ in me the hope of Glory!

Colossians 1:27 (New International Version)

27To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

Awesome God, have your heavenly way with me today. Fogive me for all my sins and release me to do Your will. Keep my mouth from speaking evil and keep my eyes on Jesus. All for Your glory forever and ever.

A message from Jeff Deyo

I sang a song from Jeff Deyo "Surreneder" about 3 weeks ago. I was so impressed with the song I sent him an email thanking him for such an awesome song. He just sent me back an email that I would like to share with everyone.

Graham-

Hey man, thanks so much for your message! I never get tired of hearing about people leading our songs in churches around the world. I am so glad too that you tied it in so well with a "message" behind the song. It seems like a lot of worship leaders don't do that much, but I think that is the key to helping people get beyond loving their favorite songs to loving the God of the songs!

Thanks also for what you wrote on your blog. There isn't much said about surrender in church these days. We seem to be afraid that asking people to surrender will keep them from giving as much in the offering. I'm glad you dove right in!!!

I too hope we can meet sometime and that we might worship together. You may or may not know about our newest CD Unveil. There are a couple songs on there I'm sure will like. Check it out at www.jeffdeyo.com. And make sure you know about my podcast at www.youtube.com/jeffdeyopodcast. I share a new video about every 3-4 weeks about worship and such...

Thanks again for writing!

Blessings to you as you continue to serve the Kingdom!

Jeff Deyo

Sunday School Meeting

Just a reminder that we have an important meeting coming up Nov. 3 at 7:30pm. This meeting will be longer than normal and is important that all show up. If however you can not please contact me to make arrangements to get the information.

Your Worth It, Jesus Is Worth It

Reminding everyone to just get off the couch and show up to a cell, bible study or sunday service. It's a step you need to take to grow in the Lord. We need to remember that friend that co worker beside us, we need the confidence to share the love of God, we will need answers for the questions. It is worth that step of showing up but it is worth it. You deserve it. Your friends and family deserve it and Jesus deserves it.
