    About this ebook

    In my previous book, Giving to God Is an Investment, my emphasis was prophetically based on the auditorium to be built. In this book, I am now talking about the auditorium worth six point five million rand that was dedicated in 2005. With God all things are possible. Those who trust in him, their faces will not be covered by shame. Our auditorium veranda for Xihlovo Cafeteria is only now complete recently.

    For nothing is impossible with God. (Luke 1: 37)

    God has impressed in my heart that if we build capacity to contain we must as well build capacity to maintain. Capacity to contain requires finances to maintain the standard of work achieved. When we grow numerically, we should as well grow financially and spiritually.

    God is not only building our church but the all-sufficient one is building an institution. This is a large tree with a big shade where the weary, unwanted, rejected, abused, divorced, separated, misused, thirsty and hungry shall come and take refuge and find rest. This vision is unique in its kind; it cannot be compared with any other vision from somewhere.

    This is an institution to feed thousands of thousands; it is a hospital to the wounded. It is a university for those who want to excel in character-building and integrity those whose hearts are after Gods own heart, those who will serve him in holiness, righteousness, and purity of heart. It will not just be people ushered in but those who were touched by the holy conviction and brought by the Holy Spirit into his house.

    This is Mount Zion, the heavenly Jerusalem and the city of the living God. When you come, you come to the thousands upon thousands of angels in a joyful assembly, to the church of the first-born whose names are written in heaven. When you come, you come to God, the judge of all men, to the spirit of righteous men made perfect, to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel. See to it that you do not refuse him who speaks. If they did not escape when they refused him, who warned them on earth, how much less will we if we turn away from him who warns you from heaven?

    Hebrews 12: 2225
    As the Rector of Hardrock Academy of Leadership Training and Life Training College, I compelled to ask those who read this book to come to obedience of his commands, as you cannot become unless you come. Come and follow me as I follow Christ. It is a great experience to build the house of God. We have been tested, opposed and criticised, but the Lord has delivered us form all delaying spirits and Sanballats. There are differences in the body which are expressions of legitimate diversity, others are demoralising to those who do not know on how to master the art of spiritual warfare but to some they are church diving with its divergence and separations. We need to strategise a convergence of building in unison and Kingdom-mindedness, of having the mind of Christ, by building Gods Kingdom and not our kingdoms.

    For thine is the Kingdom, the power and glory. (Matt. 6: 13)

      Dedication

      1. This book is dedicated to the Godhead, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit who counted me faithful, appointing me to His service. Even though I was once a blasphemer, a persecutor, and a violent man, I was shown mercy because I had acted in ignorance and unbelief. The grace of our Lord Jesus was poured out on me abundantly, along with faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners of whom I was the worst.

      (1 Tim. 1: 12-17).

      2. A special thanks to my wife, Ps. Anastacia Makwakwa, for patiently enduring my long stretches of preoccupation during the writing of this book.

      3. This book is dedicated to my two sons, Itumeleng, Nyiko, and daughter, Mikatekiso, who never undermined my vision or belittled my capability of being a man appointed and anointed in advancing his Kingdom Eternal on the earth.

      4. To all partners, pastors, and the leadership of Revival Christian Church and all extension churches that walked many thousands of kilometres in helping me fulfil the vision God has placed upon my life without wavering in their faith and doubting my capability.

      5. A special thanks to Mrs Noriah Shishavela who has given herself in praying for this ministry and maintaining the covenant God has established.

      6. And to the host of others whose contribution to my success, life, and understanding has influenced the writing of this volume.

      7. The Bible School, graduates, students, and faculty who has undergone therapy at my counselling practice, locally and abroad has really broadened my expertise regarding this subject of creating a tomorrow in our now. I bestow my blessing upon you all in the name of Jesus, the only begotten of the Father. I decree the blessing of God upon this publication in Jesus’ name. This will be of assistance personally, financially, spiritually, and in ministry.

      He who has been stealing must steal no longer but must work, doing something useful with his own hands, that they may have something to share with those in need. (Eph. 4: 28)

      The Word of God is meant for our betterment and development.

      By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food, until you return to the ground. (Gen. 3: 19)

      God can only bless the work of your hands and not someone else’s work. There are no short cuts in life. Short cuts will short-circuit you. If you are not prepared to give, it will also not be given to you. You give to receive, and you receive to be generous.

      He who withholds comes to poverty and a generous man will prosper and he who refreshes others will be refreshed himself. (Luke 6: 38)

      According to Proverbs 11: 24-25, our future is in our giving, as our giving will determine the measure of our abundance. We need to graduate from the abundance into the overflow of running over. Praise God. Those who withhold come into poverty.
