RACINE & RUTH: JOIN US IN THE UNIVERSITY OF GOD!

Do you know that you are a work of art?

Man is the greatest product of God.

I mean, a man designed to think, talk and act with God.

Are you living in tune with God?

What is your status before God today?

Without the indwelling grace of the Holy Spirit,
man is but a shadow of the one God created!

The man God created was not a mere carnal one
governed by his senses

but a communicator between the visible and invisible worlds.

God and man used to talk together as friends.

But one day man broke the relationship by disobedience
and went away from God.

He then went further away until finally he left home.

He left his native land, Eden, where he lived with God.

He emigrated from God’s presence.

Since then, God has been eager to be
talking again with His old friend

but man, in leaving the presence of his Creator,
had lost his mother tongue.

I mean, he lost his original language with God

and became unable to communicate with his Creator
in spirit and in truth.

The natural man cannot hear or talk to God;
this is the challenge we are facing today.

Although God speaks again and again, so many do not
pay attention to what He says (Job 33:14).

The silence is hard on God.

As eager as the father of the prodigal son was
to see his son come back home,

God is eager to be on intimate terms again with man,
His old friend.

That is why He had to choose a language that man
would understand.

So He sent His Son, Jesus Christ on earth to bring man,
His old friend, back to Himself.

God honoured the human language by calling Jesus the Word.

The Word became flesh and entered the world.

Jesus is God spelling Himself out in a language
that man can understand,

a language of spirit and life (John 6:63).

For how long will we continue to think, talk and live in the natural when Jesus is waiting for you at the point of His Spirit?

From our many years of learning under and walking with God’s General, Prophet TB Joshua, until he was called Home to Heaven,

a passion has kindled in our hearts to impart
the treasure God has given us,

the living Word in the power of the Holy Spirit!

The letter of the Word cannot move, cannot operate without
the life of God (John 6:63).

Every Word of God is Spirit and life and it is the very life of God
in that Word that injects power, energy to the Word.

This is the Word that heals, saves, delivers and enables the believer to live a victorious life in Christ.

Just like Simon Peter in John 6:68, we have discovered
that there is no alternative to Jesus

because only He has the Words of eternal life.

After our mentor was called Home on 5 June 2021,
like the disciples of old, when Jesus ascended to Heaven,

we have been waiting in faith.

I found myself in a glass compartment
inside a cave without exit.

Suddenly a mighty rock came from Heaven

and hit the rocky mountain.

It pierced the cave.

The mountain shook
but I remained steady inside the glass compartment.

The rock drilled through the rocky mountain.

I watched.

Then I came out and walked.

I stopped and gasped as I saw

the rock had drilled a perfect beautiful tunnel
made of gold!

I said to myself, there must be water
at the end of this tunnel.

I started walking.

Suddenly a voice came from above:

“Stay where you are. Don’t enter!
The water is coming to you.”

I stopped and stayed where I was.

As I stood still, suddenly I saw the water flowing
from the end of the tunnel towards me.

The water was clear, sparkling with life.

It flowed closer

until it reached my toes

and washed my feet as a wave at the seashore.

and washed my feet as a wave at the seashore.

While I was pondering on the vision, my heart prompted me
to the Book of Daniel 2:44.

What is the purpose of the rock?

The purpose of the rock is to remove the barrier between
our heart and God.

When a man yields his heart to the Holy Spirit,
the veil is taken away.

The Word of God is the seed of divine life that comes
into our heart and causes faith to grow.

The vision is for an appointed time (Habakkuk 2:3).

The vision is to link man back to God through His Word,
by His Spirit, to edify the Body of Christ

and to cooperate with a network of churches
all around the world.

The vision is in line with the calling and gift of God in our lives.

The rock that fell from Heaven is the Word
of the Kingdom as Jesus said in Matthew 13:19.

Our vision is to help get the Word into people’s hearts -
because it is only there that it works effectively.

During the last two decades under the mentorship
of Prophet TB Joshua,

our interaction with thousands of believers and
church leaders worldwide

and the recurring questions raised by so many during lectures
have drawn our focus to the practical side of Christianity,

I mean, our daily walk with the Holy Spirit:

how to develop spiritual awareness, how to hear from God,
how to build one´s faith in the face of life’s uncertainties.

These core issues and others will be addressed under the guidance of the Holy Spirit

through in-depth teaching sessions with time for
interactive questions and answers.

Our vision also embraces local churches.

We want to cooperate with a network of ministries to impart our knowledge, experience, and spiritual gifts as the Spirit leads.

Until today’s church realises that the spirit of man is
the fountain of faith,

that is when the Holy Spirit will be involved in our affairs.

As our mentor, Prophet TB Joshua taught us,

“In the University of God, however brilliant you may be,
you will not be given double promotion,

you must take every course for each course serves a purpose.”

So, what do you need?

An open heart.

What are the materials required to take every course - to not give up, look for alternatives or despair at life’s often cruel blows?

Humility, faith, endurance, perseverance, forgiveness
and love without expectation.

Who marks our work?

The Holy Spirit.
