A sea of people before me. Their arms stretched high over-head, letting the presence of God crash on them like a mighty hurricane.
This is it. This is my new church, Africa on Fire Ministries.
It is not defined by the sand floor under our feet, nor the absence of a ceiling or wall in front of us. It is a powerful fortress that cannot be contained.
I stand in complete darkness but see a beaming light shining out of every single person in the congregation. Electricity isn’t the power source here.
“So then, let us cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light” Romans 13:12
This armor is shining far brighter than words on this page can describe. There is just something so pure about the glow of this armor. Something so different than I’ve ever witnessed.
This place looks so desolate and poor to the naked eye. However, God looks down at this church and is overwhelmed by these beautiful individuals that build His church. He looks past the rubble and dust on their feet. The rotting of their teeth does not faze Him. Instead, He delights in His beautiful and perfect creation shouting praise to Him. His eyes swell up with tears of joy. This church is so far from desolate and poor. It is pouring out with eternal riches that are unimaginable.
Praise God.
