Where are the nine?-Yeosville South Africa

Dear Beloved Readers,

It is a great honor and privilege of the Lord to introduce to you one of man God has spoken to me about being a "pillar" for the continent of Africa, Bishop Chetachukwu Adimoha.

This Bishop of South Africa has extended their hearts of love to us as we traveled to their nation. They wrote to us on how God imparted to them through us, but we, our team, received much from them in the Lord and our faith has increased greatly through our brother, his wife Mary, their family and the church.

Bishop Chetachukwu is one of the "end-time" Leaders God is rising up in this hour with a clear and present word of the Lord to bring to the nations. We love him, his family and church greatly and look forward to going to be with them again soon, and by the grace of God they will be coming as our "main speaker, " for the Fire for the Nations Conference in Greeley, Colorado February 26 through March 1, 2009 and then be our Guest speaker at the Flame of Fire Weekend at our new IAM Center of Tucson building March 4th through the 7th.

If you can make any one of these gatherings you will be blessed, look on our itinerary page to see the details they will be posted shortly. Please be blessed as you read this new teaching from this precious servant of the Lord. We give God all the Glory and praise for bringing us such humble and powerful servants of God to be added to the Flame of Fire Network.

Shalom!

WHERE ARE THE NINE?

Luke 17:11, Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee. 12As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy met him. They stood at a distance and called out in a loud voice, "Jesus, Master, have pity on us!"

14 When he saw them, he said, "Go, and show your selves to the priests." And as they went, they were cleansed.

15One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. 16He threw himself at Jesus' feet and thanked him--and he was a Samaritan.

17 Jesus asked, "Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine?

18 Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?" This is a year you must be thankful to God, stop complaining thank Him according to the Scriptures “ In all things, give for this is His will concerning you” don’t thank God only when it is well, he is both god of the day and the night.

Our attitude attracts God’s mercy spiritually or otherwise. Sometimes, God refused listen to us because of our heart felts or contents. Have you not read that God knows the heart more than us?

The bible tells us about the ten lepers Jesus healed, only one came back to give thanks, but they were ten “Jesus asked, where are the other nine?”

It became a mark of permanent healing to him because of thankfulness’ many of today do not see the reason why they should come back to give thanks to God, and this is the reason why we limit our selves.

Now the Lord said, go and show yourselves to the priest and do (offer) what Moses commanded you: in that case, which giving was involved, they went all to their own way hoping that after all we are already cured.

God tests us with the little we have or he has giving to us, our character gives the answer of our heart felts.

There had been many who were cured by Jesus, but these are the only ones He told to show himself to the priest, and offer healing offering because he already saw there hearts and this was the reason why they had been in thatsituation in the first place they had ungratefulness in their hearts!

This is a new year you should hug God with appreciation, it is advisable that you -Adopt a new life that will suit the life of Christ in you. Only one among the nine saw the good reason why he should go back and thanks Jesus not only going to offer the healing offering though it was not recorded what he offered to Jesus, but it is believable that he offered something because it wasn’t just a mere thanks, he was convinced.

That very one man that came back was a foreigner; it means others came from the areas of Jesus they were once had fellowship together, but the foreigner was unbeliever that saw God’s power and believed.

Those that are closed to a prophet usually robbed themselves’ blessings.Examine your selves and return like the foreigner, it is good to give thanks when God has done it for you.

Have you got a man around you that God uses in your life? See him as the Lord’s servant to you, and give thanks to God with appreciation over his life?

This is your year of restoration, return like the foreigner and God will show you His mercies.
