Upfront and Personal With Dr. Randy Clark
(www.globalawakening.org)
Anyone familiar with the Bible will find scores of miracles
and healing; right from Genesis to Revelation. Though, today the advances in
science and medicine have pushed our faith in divine healing to the back seat,
we are still indirectly reliant on it because the human intelligence is from
God. Nevertheless, it is very refreshing when we see and partake of the raw
healing power of God, without drugs or any medical procedures. This is more so
when such ailments have persisted and defied medical treatment.
And so it was recently, when Dr. Randy Clark, renowned
American healing evangelist hosted the Kingdom Foundation Conference in Lagos.
Held at the prestigious Intercontinental Hotel, the conference was aimed at not
only healing the sick of diverse ailments, but to impart, renew the faith and
expectation of divine healing in participants. More importantly, Kingdom
Foundation encourages you to press in and renew your passion for the Kingdom.
The first day centered on EQUIPPING. Randy’s desire was to
see every believer equipped to bring the Kingdom of God to earth. The sessions
were designed to endow the participants to operate in words of knowledge,
become comfortable praying for the sick and understanding common revival
phenomena.
On the second day, attention was focused on BUILDING FAITH.
Randy a legendary story teller, drew from his vast experience of praying for
the sick to encourage and build faith. He shared his victories and his defeats
in relevant, easy to understand sessions. His life theme of “God can use ole’
me” will encourage any person.
The third and concluding day dealt with PRESSING IN and
PASSION. The sessions helped define what God is doing in our time whilst
encouraging us to become His vessel that will invade earth with the reality of
heaven. In Romans 12:11, we are enjoined to never lack in passion. Certainly
the conference succeeded in no small measure in renewing the passion for the
things of God and demonstrating His healing power!
Randy’s trip and the conference were made possible by Lapislazuli
Ministries, founded by Femi and Mina Bajomo. It is an example of how
individuals can make an impact in their generation. This is because Dr. Clark
is well sort after around the globe and it was not a mean feat to bring him and
his team to Nigeria. And for the participants which cut across general
overseers, pastors, church leaders and the general public, it was a lot of
savings in travel expense if they were to take a trip overseas to be in any of
his conferences.
Not regarding the cost savings, the real benefits were in
the miracle healings that took place, the impartation and the passion for
divine healing which came upon many of the participants. It was Randy’s
expressed desire that the pastors should train others and replicate the session
in their churches. He urged all believers to appreciate that ministering
healing must become a common occurrence in all our lives – not something simply
relegated to clergy. Central to Randy’s ministry is the understanding that God
not only can but also desires to use ordinary people to do extraordinary
things. These seeds and more, which he sewed in those three days, will of
course, outlive him.
Last Line: Healing was central to the ministry of Jesus
and is part of the great commission assigned NOW to all believers. Matt 4:23NIV “Jesus
went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news
of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people.Mark 16:15-18 NIV “He said to them, "Go into all the
world and preach the good news to all creation. Whoever believes and is
baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. And
these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out
demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their
hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they
will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well."
