Dry Bones CAN Live

Bishop Nason Balaku, from South Rwenzori Diocese, Uganda, has been in the UK with SOMA over the past week.

Near the end of his stay he stopped in at All Saints Woodford Wells to share the gospel of hope and how since 13 October 1979 he has committed to being a sharer of the good news of Jesus Christ when he received Christ as Lord and Saviour: ‘It is this Christ that made me the person that I am.’

Speaking from Ezekiel 37, at the request of Paul and Becky Harcourt, he asked, ‘why did Paul choose this text for today?’ But he came to see ‘God has power to restore life and hope’ even in the most hopeless situations. What Ezekiel sees as dry bones, God says can come alive. God can change a nation, community and families.

It’s a great message… check it out here:

Bishop Nason told how he was called to ministry at 15, but his family tried to talk him out of it because ministry was ‘for poor people.’ But he heard the voice of the Lord asking him why he refused to go for training, and although he tried to make excuses about money, transport God provided all he needed.

He challenged the church to be out there sharing the gospel with others so that if he comes back in one or two years, the church needs an extension because of the new believers. Asking us to be committed to sharing Christ he questioned, ‘Have you ever spoken to the people at work about God… there are many souls who need to hear about God.’

Through this sharing of the Word and the marks of the Holy Spirit DRY BONES WILL LIVE.
