Hello! Praise the Lord I'm here again, still fine and doing fine.
Last week our friends from Singapore are here, i think 14 of them. They help us in every ministry, specially in feeding program, youth group, Hospital ministry and Campus ministry. They are a great blessings to us and I really appreacite their ministry.
This week our friends from UK are coming, David Strachan and family. They are a lovely family, on fire for the Lord and I really appreciate their ministry. Their love and compassion for the people are great. So , I'm so excited to see them again. Praise the Lord!
Anyway this morning I received an AoG Magazine from Ptr. Mark. And I read an Article that really shocked the Christian world. I want you to read these, not to Criticize this people but to pray for them that God will restore them.
"Three high profile ministers have shocked the Christian World by stepping down from public ministry after admitting to sin.
Mike Gugliemucci, Todd Bently and Terry MacAlmon are all receiving councelling after recent revelations about sin in their private lives. The most startling is that Gugliemucci, who lied about a two-year battle with cancer. The preacher reportedly deceived his family about the illness, which he faked whill thousands of Christians around the world prayed for his healing. He appeared on a recent Hillsong DVD performing his hit song 'HEALER' with an oxygen tube taped to his nose, and preached at British youth conference Audicious in 2007, claiming he received partial healing at a Wesleyan chapel in Bristol. In a statement, he admitted a 16 year pornography addiction, adding, Í'm sorry for a life of saying I'm something I'm not.'
Elsewhere, the controversial Lakeland healing outpouring is in decline after news that leader Todd Bentley had an únhealthy relationship' with a female member of his staff. Newspapers claim that Bentley, now separated from wife Shonnah, also drank excessive amounts of alcohol. Fresh fire Ministries is now being run by Bentley's associates.
Meanwhile, worship leader Terry Macalmon has resigned from his ministry after admitting to an extra-marital affair. In a letter, he said, 'Please forgive me. I never meant to heart anyone, but when we take our eyes off the Lord, the enemy knows where to attak us.'' (Joy Magazine, Oct. 2008, p 23).
Friends, God is the God of Restoration! Don't judge this people, the Bible says, "Don't pick on people, jump on their failures, criticize their faults- unless, of course, you want the same treatment. Don't condemn those who are down; that hardness can boomerang. Be easy on people; you'll find life a lot easier." (Luke 6:37, Message). Selah
