2nd letter from Pastor Angelo

“Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease among the people” Matthew 4:23

What powerful words conveying the heart of Jesus, that is “among the people.” Where you find Jesus is either alone with the Heavenly Father or “among the people.” This is the whole scope of ministry. We serve the Lord and we serve people. This is very basic to our daily living. Jesus taught and preached. The focus was the kingdom. The manifestation was healing.

Jesus went “throughout Galilee.” The gospel does not stay put for very long. It compels to move “throughout.” Why? It must be spread “among the people.” God loves people and he wants everyone to know it and experience it. This is the Lord’s will in the US and in Ghana, even so to the uttermost part of the world.

God is looking for carriers and couriers for the advancement of the kingdom. Every morning children and young people walk the dirt roads around our neighborhood. Most of them are carrying something on their heads or under their arms. They are selling all kinds of items or providing a service from household, snacks, shoe-shine, gardening, and even men’s clothing. Many of them have a distinct call sound. Some sing a tune, ring a bell, use a drumstick to pound a sound, and others call out. They are all different but with a purpose in mind. Sound like believers? We all possess different callings, gifting, and ministries but with the same purpose: Lifting up the name of Jesus and building the kingdom. What a privilege to carry God’s special package of love to the lost and the hurting. God calls each one of us to live a life of influence.

Soon our Jeep will be arriving in Ghana, expected in about two weeks, which will give us the right type of vehicle to go to the small hidden villages of Ghana. “Jesus went throughout Galilee” and we will go in God’s power “throughout Ghana.” Ghanaians are a very observant people. They notice the smallest details. This is beneficial for the gospel because they consider and weigh everything spoken.

Including working with people, one must prepare to meet the need. Jesus healed “every disease.” Jesus saw people’s hurt. Jesus targeted people’s hurt. Jesus identified with people’s suffering. People need the Lord. Each of us have a divine assignment and we must align ourselves into a position of service to the people.
