The Lord encouraged me to keep Staying young while growing older begins from my mind. Never stop listening to the Lord and learning from His Word. Allow godly thinking to shape my attitudes. To be more thankful, keep laughing, and rejoice in the Lord. Above all, to keep believing and loving Him with all my heart and to keep knowing Him and as far as it is in the proportion of His grace in me to make him known. It is so loving to formalise you as regard how God make us part of what He is doing in Australia. (Sorry for writing a lot of pages).There is some special territories in Australia, knowing about them is knowing about the land, culturally, spiritually and emotionally.
1) Darwin (the Northern territory) about hrs flight from Sunshine Coast our base.
2) Byron Bay (NSW) close to 7 hrs by road to the base. Darwin, - digging deeper into the community especially of the indigenous aboriginals in the Northern Territory.
One will discover that Aboriginals are sort of special people who are very different in the way they think and how they chose to run their lives! Ministering to them can only be compared to somebody ministering to deaf and dumb without knowing or understand sign language! One can never imagine these set of people could still exit in western world NOT even a place like Australia!!!! Not that we picked some worst amidst the good ones in the attachment, this is how they are, They think the society of westerner has offended their past generations may be sometime 40 -50 years ago and they now choose to live with and carry the bitterness along as a result choose to live unfocused lives !!!
Also that there were Many fringe benefits provided by the Aus. Government in her apart in the campaign of helping and healing this their generational wound, begins to give as Many fringe benefits as possible to them from the normal unemployment benefit, like free medication, education etc and the nursing mother and nursing child benefit to any other benefits one can think of. When all these steps by the Government was unable to heal the wound of the Aboriginals, different kinds of NGO also took up the challenges, they situated themselves in different location of the communities they also began to gives free anything you can think of as well, even the Christian missionaries! Because of these offers from all angles and all these opportunities to give nearly everything for free. Now, very good... one may think, unfortunately, this provision here, provision there...... to this communities of the aboriginal is doing a lots of havoc than good to their lives and community?
The Aboriginals completely lost an attitude of thankfulness; being full of apathy they started seeing it as rights...yes it was ours from the onset� they came� take all from us�.now they have to give it to us back�. We have been wronged�. So they have to reconcile�. By keep on giving �.so�. ALL we have to do is to sit down�. Relaxed�.collect as much as we can get and use it any how we like�.these seams so sad? But that happens often! Imagine they get unemployed money from government....? Free anything from NGO.., food, cloth etc...? Then the ambition is lost, the money becomes so idle, lost value etc? Not less than $ 800.00 is being allocated to each adult of member�s of each family man in every two weeks. One can now imagine the allocation of a family of five adults� in every other week. Yet with all these benefits, you can still see Heaps of them either on the street walking or sitting down begging for two dollar to eat!!!??? Because the only thing they think of is waking up hopelessly in afternoon (because they always keep vigil till around 2,3am every day) keep on drinking Whiskeys, 'ganja' a lots of a lots of cigarettes etc, sleep with girls about age 13�14�. 15� becoming a mother (remember both the mother and the child begin to get government money), So all there problem is just get money and other NGO benefits and they never think of any planning for or by themselves.
The only way average of them understand Jesus is a Westerners religion that was brought to take away their only source of joy that they have control over i.e. barbaric occult culture, Alcohol, smoking etc from them!!!??? They prefer talking or relating with us because they think we are not like Westerners?! They also believe we share the same perceptions of the so called westerners with them since we also were being colonised by them (westerners) in the past!? And that we share the same cultural back ground? Workings in this community will definitely change your understanding as regards poverty!!!? Poor communities in Africa are without food no money and some basic things of life, the government maltreated communities (just like the situation in Nigeria). But NO, they have all these even more! Unfortunately, they lack ambitions there is verbally no value for money they received so they now use the money to buy ''death'' addicted to alcohol, drugs, immorality etc! Committing suicide is so common in Aboriginals community. (Ignorance is a death trap!) It is a common saying that �Science may have found a cure for most evils; but it has found no remedy for the worst of them all -- the apathy of human beings�� NOT that the Australian government are wrong in their efforts to compensates them or even the charity homes, but a very huge vacuum is left even as Christian missionaries are busy showing love of God towards these people by their generosity, sympathising with them, Christ is NOT shared among them so as NOT to hurt them the more or again, expecting them to see the love, the generosity etc by themselves and come to Jesus. ��But how can they call on Him to save them unless they believe in Him? And how can they believe in Him if they have never heard about Him? And how can they hear about Him unless someone tells them?�� Rom 10:14.
We Praise God for giving us a vision and an opportunity to share Jesus with the Aboriginal community using different approaches with one major goal ...�they need the message of the gospel!!� They have received so much humanitarian aid & lots of 'good deeds', but need to know the truth about Christ! We lead a team of nine to begin from the vacuum others might have necessarily left (sharing JESUS with them as the saviour of the whole word NOT OF THE WESTERNERS ALONE!!!!) and try to build back into them hope, ambition etc and that they are real Australians, also the fact that we the leader of the team carry nearly the same colour with them gives us a better opportunity. Within little period we spent there, we try to develop some high level of relationship with these Aboriginals. This really help us a lots in serving them better and make us eligible in taking some step and support them to fight for their right even from the Australia Government against the establishment of one old Euthanasia law (the Right of the Terminally 111 Act) to the territory. . This Bill (if Government succeeded) will legalise the Government to inject any seriously seek people in the hospitals that are living under the help of medical aids of different kinds. Those that can no more breath, eat, etc on their own for them to die gradually!
Fortunately when this law was in the territory eleven years ago, we learnt that the Aboriginal people already said NO to it. Because in the Northern Territory, most people in hospital are Aboriginal (you know sin now). So, in pretence the government wants to bring in this Bill again. This to us from the biblical perceptions is just like legalising abortion policy. We and our team with the support of Robyn Green (one of the country famous Gospel singer) and Dr. David Gawker (a much respected surgical Dr. in the territory that The Govt sent there to work in the community Hospital) Quickly applied Proverbs 31: 8, 9 (8) ��Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves; ensure justice for those who are perishing. (9) Yes, speak up for the poor and helpless, and see that they get justice�� (NLT) and we take the bull by the horns and moved against this policy and we got over 100 indigenous Aboriginal to signed the dotted paper which we take into their individual houses in the community and got it forwarded to Australian parliament within 72 hours! You know it is very easier there to move against any government policy that did not go well with people once you have some group of the community to sign against such policy, so amazing!!! (Unlike our case in Africa) These steps we took in support in helping them to fight for their right is so huge to them and thereby making our being part of Jesus reconciliation mission easier!
The blessing and the highlights Our being there was actually productive, yielding wonderful result for the kingdom, working with the Aboriginals has made them to experience a unique reflection of the love of God and brought hope to some lives, our outdoor evangelism and prayer walk within some historical place and street has gave us an amazing opportunity to prophesy peace, restorations, hope into the territory even all around the parliament house and the territory council house and the supreme court and the prison. We Have prayed for the sick and God healing has physically being experienced, Above all people has being led to the Lord and some of the addicted were set free from the power of the enemy that oppressed them! Though the mission was an energy intense, our body aches and the flesh is crying for some rest or break yet our cry every day is �� For Zion�s sake will we not hold our peace, and for Jerusalem�s sake we will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth.�� Isaiah 62; 1 KJV.
Allow me to rest my pen; l will talk to you again
