Beholding what you want to became
In one of our subjects, we are reading a book of Samuel Whitfield of Discipleship begins with beholding, in this book he is talking about discipleship and that the center piece of discipleship is not about gaining new information but beholding the Son of Man. I and most probably you can agree with me when I say I have heard so may times you become what you behold, and this is so true and I have realized that if one heard it so many times you almost think you know what it means but actually, we are just use to hear this but what does it really mean? When we behold Jesus, transformation in our inner being must change. Are you and I at that place where we behold the Son of Man enough so that there can take transformation place in our hearts.
IHOPU
It is going very good with my studies. My subjects are awesome. In Leadership & Next Generation one of the things that really stood out to me is we need to be so sensitive in the Spirit of the seasons that we are in. We need to ask God regularly what is He busy with, what does He want to say about the season we are in and the things that is happening around us. This is not just important in our own lives but also for those we are leading and those in the next generation we are teaching. I don’t have enough space is my letter to say things that is standing out for me in all my classes but one thing I can say is that God is busy working. This term is ending the 10th March.
Spring Ministry Trip
Yearly IHOPU have a Spring ministry trip where they go out to different locations and just be Jesus’ hands and feet. The three objects of these Ministry Trips are as follow:
3 full objectives that we have for trips.
- Education
- school connection (synergy with each other and culture building)
- Partnering in the Great Commission by advancing Night and Day prayer with worship through and proclaiming the beauty of Jesus and His glorious return.
Last year our online students in Witbank joined the Online Ministry Trip where we ministered with students all over the world on an online platform. BUT this year we can do our own ministry trip in South Africa. Our Ministry trip will be from the 25 March until the 2 April 2023. We will minister in areas in the Free State and in Johannesburg and then we will do a silent siege in Bloemfontein in front of the court. In the areas we are going to minister we will do an intercession set with the Harp & Bowl Model where we will intercede for the community and town we are visiting. We will have a specific location and time where we will pray for people who is in need of prayer. We will also be available to minister to leaders of churches and just stand in faith with them for whatever they need. We will also be sharing the Gospel in the streets or a formal setting at a event if it is requested from us. Our main focus for this Ministry Trip is to advance the Kingdom of God through prayer, worship and the Gospel. We are trusting God for all the money needed to go on this trip, that is part of the trip that we get all the finances that is needed. Our budget is R15 000 which includes 2 meals a day, 2 t-shirts and the fuel. We are 10 people going, who is the four IHOPU Students, who’s responsibility is to arrange and plan the whole Ministry Trip, the two Joshua year students, one of our part time worshipers that did the Joshua Year, and then Marais and Linda and Pierre is going with as the leaders and fulltime staff. We are excited for what God will be doing. If you feel on your heart to partner with us in meeting our budget, you can make a donation into the House of Prayer bank account with the reference IHOP Ministry Trip. Please also partner with us in prayer as well.
House of Prayer News
Plumbline: The Plumbline which is a personal restoration course took place on the 13-19 February 2023. I felt that I need to go again to be ministered to and God once again provided so that I can go. Wow, wow what an awesome time. It was hard to go back to things that happened and especially the last two years but it was worth it in the end. Jesus set me free and healed a lot of pain that was in my heart. One specific thing that I can share is Jesus healed me from the death of my father and things that came through it and it was just amazing to experience Jesus on another level as healer.

But I am a living testimony of God’s provision and faithfulness. I have come this far by the grace of God and His provision. Most to all of the things must be paid a week before the wedding. Please pray with us for finances to be loosen. If you feel led by the Holy Spirit to make a contribution please contact me.
