God is Surrounded by His Faithfulness

1 04 2022

My good friend, Michael Masambu, of Kenya recently posted a three minute devotional about God’s faithfulness that stirred my heart. The nature of God manifests His faithfulness. It is critical to our peace and even our faith. He based his comments on a description of God regarding His promise to King David in Psalm 89. Faithfulness is mentioned four times in the first eight verses, but the most profound is in the eighth verse.

“O Yehovah God of hosts, Who is mighty like You, O Yehovah? Your faithfulness also surrounds You.” Psalm 89:8

There is no way to approach Him without encountering His faithfulness. It literally defines Yehovah God. His faithfulness defines His very essence of being. It is not what He does, it is who He is. He cannot deny His eternal nature. He is faithful. That attribute of God is why Sarah received the faith to supernaturally birth Isaac in her old age.

“By faith Sarah herself also received strength to conceive seed, and she bore a child when she was past the age, because she judged Him faithful who had promised.” Hebrews 11:11

Sarah judged God “FAITHFUL” to keep His promise! So, His faithfulness is revealed through His character, but also through His promised word. Yehovah God always does what He says. He cannot lie! Do you see it? When He speaks, the words emanate from His surrounding faithfulness. It will be done. He said it. That settles it! Hear His word, judge Him faithful, and then fasten your seatbelt! Our faith is embedded in His faithfulness!

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and pray for Israel’s seasonal rains.

Why  do I use God’s literal covenant Name: Yehovah? Here is a link to the explanation in my book: The Hebrew God Who Has No Name. And here is a link to a great visual from my friend Keith Johnson.





115,108 New Jesus Followers!

Kenya Matt 10

We rejoice with the wonderful reports from Kenya. I spoke with Michael Masambu Tuesday with the final numbers of 115,108 saved in this month’s Matthew 10 Initiative.

Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy. ​​He who continually goes forth weeping, bearing seed for sowing, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him. Psalm 126:5-6

They were limited by the number of vans to transport teams to schools, but the results were glorious. We need to pray for more vans for the next outreach in May 2022. You can follow Michael on Facebook to see more reports and pictures.

Michael now has a renewed visa and plans to be in the States for the month of November. He begins in the tri-cities area of Washington state the first week, followed by Living Waters Ranch’s Arise and Shine Conference in Challis, Idaho Nov. 11-13. Later he will be in Texas, Oklahoma, Mississippi, and finishing in Raleigh, NC.

We will host him in the Raleigh area from Nov. 27 to Dec. 6. Please be in prayer for his ministry trip for anointing, protection, and provision. Michael is overflowing with the goodness and favor of Yehovah God after the evangelism outreach and we can share in the blessing as we stand with him for God’s glory. Remember you can get his biography, The Swahili Man, in paperback or Kindle.

On a personal note, I will also be ministering four times in Idaho next week from Oct. 30 to Nov. 8. It is always a joy to visit northern Idaho where my brother lives in Sandpoint. I am especially eager to speak this Sunday at the Cocolalla Cowboy Church with Pastor Steve and Cindy Bradshaw, and the folks there. I have been going there for about 15 years now, but missed last year. My first time with them was about 30 folks in a community center. Now they have several hundred and their own building. Praise the Lord Jesus!

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and rain in this rainy season.

Kenya Awakening!

6 10 2021

The Matthew 10 Initiative – Those who follow Elisha Vision know that we have a heart for Kenya and high esteem for Michael Masambu who is leading an amazing outreach this month in Kenya. This video describes the vision of presenting the Gospel to 1.8 million students this month in their own schools, followed by another next June in three more counties, and then once more in October 2022. We are praying for 600,000 decisions for Jesus this month. Every school will then follow up with discipleship ongoing. This is done with the blessing of the Kenyan government.

Please pray into this initiative. Elisha Vision Ministries is cooperating with Michael raising funds for vans for nearly 60 teams spreading out to the schools. This appeal is for U.S. residents only. If you are led to help financially please send your checks with “Kenya” on the memo line to: Elisha Vision PO Box 1601 Wake Forest, NC 27587. All 100% of offerings marked “Kenya” will go to the Matthew 10 Initiative in Kenya. Thank you so much! Also, remember you can get my biography of Michael Masambu – The Swahili Man – A Village Boy Who Became a Man of God for Kenya and the World. Proceed also go to his ministry. It is available in paperback and Kindle.

“He who receives you receives Me, and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me. He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward. And he who receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward. And whoever gives one of these little ones only a cup of cold water in the name of a disciple, assuredly, I say to you, he shall by no means lose his reward.”Matthew 10:40-42

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and pray for Israel rain, both physical and spiritual.

Masambu Biography Launched!

6 06 2021

MKM Book launch 6-5-21

Living Water Ranch in Challis, Idaho was the location of our book launch for THE SWAHILI MAN, a Village Boy Who Became a Man of God for Kenya and the World. Michael Masambu appeared in live video on Saturday morning at the Arise and Shine Conference. He was not able to get his visa in time. He emphasized Isaiah’s prophecy in chapter 60 that “Arise and shine” was not a suggestion, but a command.

Arise, shine; for your light has come! And the glory of Yehovah is risen upon you… Then you shall see and become radiant, and your heart shall swell with joy; Isaiah 60:1,5a

It was my honor speak several times and to launch the book. The proceeds from the book will go to Michael’s ministry in Kenya. You may now order it directly in the U.S. The suggested donation is $15.00 per book. The simplest way to order is to send a check, payable to Elisha Vision, to this address: Elisha Vision P.O. Box 1601 Wake Forest, NC 27588. Bulk orders are encouraged. A full case is 68 copies.

Please pray for Michael Masambu’s vision to reach 300,000 young people this Fall in every school in three counties (states) of Kenya. He is also committed to pay school fees for 65 orphans for the entire school year at $200.00 each. Thank you for your prayers and contributions.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and for seasonal rains in Israel. Also pray for Israel’s government.

Kenya for Israel 2020

My third year speaking at the Kenya PDA (Purpose, Destiny, Achievement) Conference was virtual this year. Last year Doreen and I were honored to speak to nearly 5,000 young Kenyans in Bungoma County. It was limited to 100 in person this year because of the China virus. Yet, several speakers from the U.S. and India were able to speak on video in addition to Kenya church leaders in person, along with the founder, Michael Masambu.

Pastor Masambu started 20 years ago with 17 youth. The future is bright for Kenya with all the leaders that have been raised up already, and the best is yet to come. Please Pray for Michael as he continues to expand his vision for Jesus and the Kingdom of God for Kenya and the world. Michael and I are nearly finished with his biography that will be printed, Lord willing, in Kenya and in the States. Here is the title: The Swahili Man – A Village Boy Who Became A Man of God for Kenya

My two sessions are now available on my YouTube channel by simply searching my name, Les Lawrence, on YouTube. But, here are links if you are interested in my requested subjects:

WHY Pray for Israel?

HOW to Pray for Israel

“For if you were cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, who are natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?”  Romans 11:24

Israel is rising. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and pray for Kenya!
