Hello Friends in Christ, another glorious day with our Lord and Saviour, working His wonderful miracles.
Everyday is filled with Your perfect love as I witness people being touched by Your glory, majesty and mercy. We can do nothing apart from You and in fact we are nothing without You. But you are reconciling the world back through You, day by day. It is such a privilege to be a part of this wonderful work You are doing Jesus.
We are in Awe of You my Lord, Your grace is sufficient for us all and You have already given us everything in Your victory at the cross.
Hallelujah! Jesus, You are worthy of all praise and worship for ever and ever. Amen.
2 Corinthians 3:5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God
Psalm 9:1 I will praise You, O Lord, with my whole heart;
I will tell of all Your marvellous works.
Today was a lovely sunny day , Thank You Lord. The streets are busy as usual. It does seem like this is the go to place for the people of Christchurch.
Cashel Mall runs all the way up Colombo street. Then there is the crossing Mall which also comes out onto Colombo Street. Across the road from there is a huge interchange bus terminal.
We met brothers in Christ, Chris and Daniel from Light House Church, on the street.
Brother Chris has been preaching on the streets for quite a while now. He has been joining us in preaching the gospel to the masses of people moving around us.
We have enjoyed a very special fellowship with the brothers when ever we meet up as we reverently recite Gods word to each other in one Spirit. Spirit of God the Father in Christ Jesus, our Lord and Saviour, our Advocate and Counsellor. Thank You Jesus.
Hebrews 10:24-25 And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.
Proverbs 27:17 As iron sharpens iron,
So a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.
I met Tiago and Ngarye on the street.
Tiago had already given his heart to Jesus and on fire for Him, as we fellowship together. Tiago had been sowing many seeds in his friend Ngarye, sharing Jesus with her, but she had not yet made the decision.
Well I knew immediately in the Spirit, this was a divine appointment for her. She willingly, without hesitation agreed to accept Jesus as her Lord and Saviour as she prayed with me to surrender her life to Jesus, Hallelujah!
This was a very joyous occasion as we all celebrated and hugged together. Tiago is very happy for his friend.
2 Corinthians 6:2 We then, as workers together with Him also plead with you not to receive the grace of God in vain. For He says:
“In an acceptable time I have heard you,
And in the day of salvation I have helped you.”
Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.
Occasionally God gives me some very special moments of joy in its fullness.
Obviously every salvation decision is a joyous occasion, but sometimes God’s timing is so evidently perfect. I see Him touch people so powerfully as they light up in His presence and glory.
No man can do this, but I am truly blessed to be involved in His miraculous, transformational work, of reconciliation, witnessing His perfect love in the people, he shows me. Thank You Jesus.
Psalm 16:11 You will show me the path of life;
In Your presence is fullness of joy;
At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
Mark 10:27 But Jesus looked at them and said, “With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible.
I met Graham, by his own confession, an ex gang member, who travelled from Picton to Christchurch on his bike.
He has a small trailer which he tows behind that he calls home. Graham is already surrendered to the Lord and shared with us how Jesus help him overcome drugs and gang life.
He told us that, the old him is dead and gone. I sensed the peace in his heart that surpasses all knowledge of the world. This peace only comes from Jesus, praise God.
John 14:26-27 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
Well today I want to thank You Jesus for all YOU have done for the people of Christchurch.
Thank You for answering our prayers of revival and salvation over this city and nation. You truly are faithful and long suffering, that Your desire is for none to perish.
2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.

About Cashel Mall, Christchurch…
City Mall is the main pedestrian mall in the central city of Christchurch, New Zealand, comprising two sections of Cashel Street plus the Bridge of Remembrance and one section of High Street. It is also known colloquially as Cashel Mall.
The Bridge of Remembrance was pedestrianised in 1976. The main mall was closed to traffic on 11 January 1982 and formally reopened as a pedestrian mall on 7 August, but it was not until 1992 that the entire mall was paved. The mall was redeveloped between 2006 and 2009, and track was installed for an expansion of the heritage tram network.
The September 2010 Canterbury earthquake caused damage to some buildings, but the Boxing Day aftershock, directly underneath the city, caused even more damage, including building failures. The 6.3 magnitude February 2011 Christchurch earthquake devastated the mall; the façades of many buildings collapsed and there were several fatalities.
The centre of the city was subsequently closed to allow demolition work to proceed. Structures affected included most of the heritage buildings in the mall that are or were registered by Heritage New Zealand. Part of City Mall, the section of Cashel Street from Oxford Terrace to Colombo Street, was the first part of the central city to open again, on Saturday, 29 October 2011, marked by a ceremony at which the Prime Minister John Key officiated.
