What does God want Christian Missionary Fellowship International (CMFI) to look like? What does God want the work in the nation to look like? Recently, the Lord told me, “You want a Convention? The Prince of Yaounde has been overthrown, the prince of Douala has been overthrown, and the prince of Cameroon was overthrown. When you gather all these people, what will be the testimony that something happened when these princes were overthrown?
There was a big convention in Mizpah. The Israelites had been unfaithful to God. Samuel was teaching from locality to locality. He had an itinerancy for twenty years. Year after year, and after twenty years of ministry, a hunger for God came upon all Israel. A hunger for God came upon Israel.
We all need a baptism, through experiencing God. Have you been baptized, not into Christ, into Zach Fomum? That is being part of his ministry. It comes from encountering God in the ministry. When the Israelites encountered God through Moses, the Bible says they were baptized into Moses. They became part of Moses, not part of Moses’ genes, but spiritually.
One of my big fears has been that the convention ends up just being an event. We don’t just want an event that God blesses—we come, we give account, we praise God; we trade fair the ministry and all that goes with it. That’s the dramatic element.
Where there is expectation, there is a preparation. Encounters are prepared.
When you are preparing for an encounter, depending on what the encounter is, and the expectations you have from that encounter, you prepare.
Jacob came to such a place. Unbroken people need to face such a night. It is indispensable for a deep work of God to be done in their lives.
