RENEWAL IN THE CHURCH

2 Chronicles 7:14; here we see God literally speaking to the church - "if my people who are called by my name...." We the church are the ones that God is speaking to in this passage of scripture. In the first week of December of 2008, the healing the land ministry was invited to facilitate the healing the land process at a Brethren Church in Nausori within the Fiji Isalands. The Church has been wanting to move to it's new land and build but for some unknown reasons they haven't been able to do so and this have led the church leaders to begin asking some serious questions. Their questions were answered when they were at a seminar where Rev Vuniani Nakauyaca (Founder and President of the Healing the Land Ministry) was invited to speak, as they received the word of God they knew that this is something the church has to do asap. Months after the seminar,the Nausori Gospel Church finally invited the ministry to come in and facilitate the htl process. It was one week meeting, and the church were really desperate God to reveal Himself to them. As the week progresses, God begin to reveal things in the church that they need to repent of. Also God began to reveal that relationship within church members were not right and the church begins reconcile towards one another. Even the children would go their parents and ask them for their forgiveness for all the pain they have caused them likewise the parents. The church elders wash each others feet with tears in their eyes. So the church really meant business with God during that week and would expose openly before God what was happening in the church, cuase that is the only way for God to open the heavens and rain down healing and blessings upon them. The week ended with identificational repentance - the land where they wanted to build the church for the last several years was leased and occupied by an Indian family who whorshiped idols and stones in that vary palce. There were two families that actually owned the land and their father gave the land for lease to others in a way to generate income to their family but they didn't realize that at the same time they were giving legal right for idols to come into their land which God forbids. So these two families knelt down before God with the whole church behind them and they corporately confess the sins of their fathers and ask God for his mercy and forgiveness and also recovenant back the land to God.
Just one week after the htl process at this church, testimonies begin to be reported that God is begining to bless the church. People are begining to see God in a new way. Job oppotunities came running to their doors even without applying. On their first Sunday after the htl process their morning service started at 10am and they finished at 2pm - so it was for the first time for them to experience this time of Holy Spirit invasion! Their Patsor by the name of Wili couldn't preach because that morning beacause the Presence of God just took over and they just sat and wept before their God. Pastor Wili told us (htl ministry) that it was for the first time for them to have that experience and they are hunger for more. Yes God is at work when His people come to Him with a heart of humility and in desperation for Him - He promised that He would come........
