WAIDINA TRIBE FOR JESUS

On the first week of December 2008, the Healing the Land Ministry was invited to facilitate the healing the land process with the Waidina tribe of the province of Tailevu here in the Fiji Islands. It was one solid week of fasting, prayer and seeking of Gods face. It was also a week of teaching and equipping the tribe with the Word of God. During the week, the tribe were taken through the word of God during day sessions and night rallies. On the first three days the whole tribe were taught that they are to be fruit inspectors and they are to see for themselves whether bad or good fruits are bearing within the tribe (Mathew 7:17 - 20 "Likewise every good tree bears good fruit. 18. Agood tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 19. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20. Thus by their fruit you will recognize them".)
So the tribe were taught bad roots will bear bad fruits and likewise good roots will only bear good fruits. The tribe were also taught the 5 major sins in the bible that brings Gods curse and judment on the land and it's people and they are 1) Idoltary, 2)Adultery 3) Broken Covenants 4) Bloodshed 5)Tithe and Offerings.
They were taught that these are the bad roots in a community/city/nation that will definately bear out bad fruits. So during that week God was really speaking to them and they agreed that the tribe have been bearing bad fruits and they have sin against God, and they humbly expose their sins before God and asking for His forgiveness and mercy. During the week repentance and reconciliation took it's toll as God began to expose sins in their lives and families. One of the elders within the tribe have been practiciing witchcraft for over 30 years and he even has killed two of his own family members through witchcraft. All these time the whole tribe have been accusing him and pointing finger at him saying that he was bringing problems to them because of his witchcraft practice but he told them that he wasn't doing such a thing - witchcraft practice is something he didn't do. The power of God came upon the tribe at the last night of the process and this particular elder for the first time owned up that he really was practicing witchcraft and he couldn't hold back but to repent before God and to the whole tribe that he was practicing witchcraft and he was worshiping a snake god with diamond on it's head. He also confess that he killed two of his own family member through witctcraft. The tribe stood up and accepted him and thanking God that victory has come to the tribe because the devil has been exposed in the light of God when he has finally confessed that the problem and the bad fruits are part of his doing because through idolatry - the land is defiled and therefore Gods curse comes upon the land. This tribe elder now wants to worship God only and nothing else. The whole tribe sensed a great spritual release when they have finally renewed their covenant with the Almighty God and they have vowed to worship him in spirit and in truth.
At the conclusion of the meeting a word from Jeremiah was read to the tribe:
Jeremiah 16:19-21 "O Lord, my strength and my fortress, my refuge in time of distress, to you the nations will come from the ends of the earth and say, "Our fathers possessed nothing but false gods, worthless idols that did them no good. 20. Do men make their own god? Yes, but they are not gods! 21. "Therefore I will teach them, this time I will teach them my power and might. Then they will know that my name is the Lord."
They were told that people will come to HIM and acknowledged that their forefathers worshipped false gods that have brought them no good, after that he will teach them HIS power and might. That is exactly what is happening with the Waidina tribe - they have come humbly before God acknowleging that they have worshiped false gods and now God is at work in this tribe. This tribe have caught the FIRE and are on FIRE for the Lord! From the youngest to the oldest have given their lives to the Lord. Amen!
