GOD EXALTS HIS NAMED AND HIS WORD

Pastor David Mwasota
Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania

The following is part of the work of one of our United Graduate College and Seminary students in Tanzania Africa. Pastor David is a Bachelors student of Christian Leadership with an emphasis on Biblical Counseling. This excerpt of one of his case studies is  amazing. What a testimony of the power of God to move on our behalf if we truly believe. What an example of the importance of bringing our thoughts into the realm of aligning with the thoughts of God to produce the results God would like to give His children. Enjoy this testimony!

A SERVICE WITH WOMEN IN MBEYA REGION IN TANZANIA

Two months ago when I was counseling a group of women in Mbeya, the Holy Spirit gave me a verse in the book of Mark 11:23 to use to counsel this group of women who were very much depressed. The seminar was very good; it attracted the attention of many women.

Last week when I visited the same village, one woman came out of the congregation in the Sunday church service to give her testimony and thanks giving; she started by saying that God had given her a miracle, that she had a problem in her inherited land which was about ten acres land but only one acres could be activated, the rest was a mountain which could not be used as farm since it was full of stones and rocks. She went on saying that, “Mark 11:23, was purely given to me that, ‘I tell you the truth if anyone says to this mountain, go, throw, yourself into sea, and does not doubt in his heart but believe that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.’”

THE OUTCOME OF MEDITATION

The woman said, “I meditated on the scripture with all my strength, because practically I needed that scripture to ensure the “mountain” is removed and leave me with a big land for cultivation. I meditated on it strongly. The following week a construction company came to my house saying that we are told that mountain belongs to you. We are in need of the stones that are found in your mountain. They gave me some money, as they were saying they are buying the stones that are in my mountain. I was given a lot of money and eventually they had removed the entire mountain. After the exercise, I was left with money and a big land without a mountain, hence as for now I am left with a big land for cultivation and money.” She was responding to the command given in Palms 107:1 that states, “Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures for ever.”

DIVINE COUNSEL OF THE OMNIPOTENT GOD

God is so good and very good as He has said in Isaiah 46:10, “I make the end from the beginning, from ancient time what is to come. I say My purpose will stand and I will do all that I please.” The removal of that mountain in a woman’s land was announced before she got birthed; and this was the very day the Word could reveal itself. I thank the Sovereign Lord as He has given me an instructed tongue to know the Word that sustains the weary.

THE ESSENCE OF THE WORD OF GOD

The significant point underlying the Word of God is found in Joshua 1:8 that commands, “Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.”

GOD EXALTS HIS NAMED AND HIS WORD

The woman meditated strongly on the Word, the promise of God in Mark 11:23, and alas the mountain was removed. This is because the woman clearly knew Psalms 138:2, which states that, “I will bow down towards Your Holy temple and I will praise Your name for Your love and Your faithfulness for You have exalted above all things above all things Your Name and Your Word.” The secret underlying the Word is that, “God is not man that he should lie, nor a son of man that he should change his mind.” Numbers 23:19 This is why the mountain, which was troubling the woman had to be removed because the woman was promised in Deut. 23:14, “For the LORD your God moves about in your camp to protect you and to deliver your enemies to you. Your camp must be holy, so that he will not see among you anything indecent and turn away from you.”
