The 777 Revolution continues…

pictures: the 7 years of blessings and pastor Martin Ssempa

Sunday Service 15th.07.07.

In the eve of the 777 season, the confirmations that 2007 is a year of unprecedented blessings, and a year of perfection and completion, are still under way. In Uganda, always in July, it is always a dry season but we are experiencing un-explained rainfall!
In a rare spectacle, the false prophets and dubious pastors in Uganda are being unveiled and exposed; the nation has seen the discovery of huge quantities of oil, natural gas and gold in this year and more area with wealth are being discovered. It is also the time that the country is hosting of the heads of nations from common wealth countries. It is rather a year of miracles.
In church, we have not been left the same too. we have got numerous visitors to our church and at this time, we have been visited by Joshua and Michael, the organizers of Passion conference in the US, pre-supposedly on a visit in which they are organising with our church, to do a ‘passion conference,’ the first of its kind in Africa. This is a very big opportunity. This conference scheduled for May 2008, will host students from all college campuses across East Africa for a one day worship session. In January, passion07 was held in Atlanta USA, and it drew 21000 students from 31 conference. The event organizers Louie Giglio and Chris Tomlin will be at the event.
As a church we believe that we are in the 7 years of blessings; 2007-2013, a season of Un-precedented blessings. This year, the church wants to set up seven more churches and already there is one that is being set up at Nkumba University and another at Aghan Khan University. The church has also set up a college radio station, 106.1 University FM and is in the process of supplying every college campus student with an FM radio station configured with the station. This is a season of blessings.

Pr. Dr. Martin Ssempa preached the message “Prescription for a revolution (revival)” and Reading from Judges 7:1-15, a time when Gideon defeated the Midianites with an army of only 300 men, Pastor’s continues with this message that;
When you are to lead the revolution, there is a lot to consider. You must prepare. Don’t just say that God has elevated you to next level. You need to do your homework.
From verse 1-3; the history of human civilization shows that majority have never led, it is always the few organized minority. God is interested in the small-organized minority. Do not be afraid that the church is the minority that prayer meetings have the minority but it was always the minority that enters the veil. God is interested in the minority to feed the many in the mountains, in fact only 3% always control the governments. Do not be misled because of the number of the people telling you, God had to first reduce the number of the Israelites. Be encouraged from the thought that the numbers do not make it right.
Verse 4-8; when God is going to use a group, He first tests it. He tests us in combat, in small type of the test rhymes with the circumstances you are to face.
Verse 9-12; during the night, Gideon heard from the lord. We must receive from the lord and listen from Him. We have to listen from the lord. God spoke to Joseph in the dream; God spoke to pharaoh and Nebuchadnezzar through a dream. The army of the lord should be able to hear from the God closely. Some times you dream of creatures like snakes; that is not a good dream, that’s sorcery. You need to listen, understand and pray. There is also a need to network. A revolution needs to be networked with others. God sent Gideon to do intelligence gathering and as Christians, we need to do the same. We need not live on a survival mode, there is need to research.
Verse 13-15; there is need for some one to speak to the church to get up. We need to network through SMS, the internet, blogs and other mediums. The church is the largest community in the world but it is not networked. It is me and you who should form a network for a church.
There are some of the needs to start a revolution. We need money to start a revolution. Not all of you are called to be Pastors, some of you are called to be Lecturers, businessmen, politicians and others economists to spear head the revolution in many sectors. God bless you.
