Hephzibeula Interconnected Ministries emerged from a
profound longing within me. My journey mirrors that of many believers. In
February 1992, I experienced a spiritual rebirth, getting baptized on the same
day and receiving the Holy Spirit a month later. Although my heart was filled
with joy and enthusiasm, I felt the sting of rejection from various corners of
the church during my early Christian Walk. I realized that the institutional
structures I struggled against hindered my ability to live out the Scriptures
as I understood them.
By 2009, I faced significant losses, culminating in the
sequestration of my business in 2011. By 2013, I felt disillusioned and
betrayed, leading to a divorce that forced me to move back in with my parents
in May 2014.
As 2016 drew to a close, God’s voice intervened in all the
confusion I found myself in. The very next day, I was prompted to visit a
nearby church, where the minister began his sermon, saying, “Today, I felt led
to speak about the Prodigal Son.” I knew then that God was speaking to me
through someone who didn’t know me and whom I would see again.
From that moment, my journey took several unexpected turns,
but God had my attention, and the Holy Spirit encouraged me to connect with
others. The longing I felt during my early Christian Walk resurfaced, this time
for a deeper understanding. I recognized my perceptions were skewed and needed
realignment.
In 2023, I connected with the Apostolic Reformation Movement
in Phoenix, KZN (and not N.A.R.), and knew I had found my place. They spoke my
language, yet I carried a lot of emotional baggage that I needed to let go of.
The challenging process of rebuilding my faith began, accompanied by
significant cleansing. I confronted my blind spots and had to apologize
frequently. With God’s grace and with the guidance of my spiritual father, this
process became a crucial foundation for my life.
Embracing a new culture, as depicted in Acts 2:42, allowed
me to shift from a bent position to an upright one. My mindset realigned with
the Heavenly Father’s, deepening my understanding of the Bible.
Mal 4: 5Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet Before
the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord. 6And he will turn the
hearts of the fathers to the children, And the hearts of the children to their
fathers, Lest I come and strike the earth with a curse.”
As believers, we should have the same mind in vision,
obedience, and actions as the Lord and our spiritual father. Paul and Timothy
had the same mind. This is transgenerational equalization. The father and son
must think alike. It is required that the father and son connect with each
other. If there is no father son connection, the result is that the curse of
Adam is still active.
Spiritual blindness is exposed when there is a bone to bone
and heart to heart connection. This is what I have experienced in my life and
seen manifesting in many others. To be true to Scripture, there must be a clear
separation from the house of Saul (institution / organization) and a real
covenant with the Davidic order, the Apostolic doctrine. A new culture must be
implemented. If not, your life and ministry could end up in a miscarriage
before it has begun.
Since I have joined the ABC Family, I poured myself into the
Word. Some things were hard to get rid of. Others fell off automatically when
it was exposed to the light. I listened to teachings. Read the books available.
And is still busy with the ABC curriculum, which rightly divides the Word very
practically so that I can understand and implement God’s instructions into my
life.
I submit to Gerda Strydom, founder and elder of Matheteuo Global Ministries. Global Ministries is a covenant partner of ABC Ministries and submits to the leadership of Dr SY & Rochelle Govender.
THE BIRTHING OF HEPHZIBEULA INTERCONNECTED MINISTRIES.
Through the continuous studying and separation, H.I.M was
birthed.
Again, it took me a while to understand what God wants me to
do. I know I am a connector. The reason for the name. But connecting is so much
more than just to meet and greet a person. It involves realignment and focus.
It means to migrate and come into an upright position. It demands
transformation and reconciliation.
Inter is a prefix that is used to add more definition to
another word. In this case, interconnected.
The Matthew 28:20 verse became another key scripture within
the ministry’s conception once I understood the connectedness.
The bone to bone and heart to heart connection has a greater
meaning than I had thought. God has opened my mind and heart to see and hear
what He wants to do. After all, this isn’t my ministry. I can take no credit
for anything of it. I am just a person with a longing to be used by God.
Coming from desolation and obscurity has softened me and
changed my perception on many things but gave me the confidence to speak when
needed. It has aligned my thoughts with God’s thoughts. It’s a daily
readjustment to truly understand and phantom what God wants to do.
Where He leads, I follow.
HEPHZIBEULA: ISAIAH 62: 3-5.
4You shall no longer be termed Forsaken, nor shall your land
any more be termed Desolate; But you shall be called Hephzibah, and your
land Beulah; For the Lord delights in you, and your land shall
be married.
God is faithful. When you begin to understand the bigger
picture, and how all things connect, God’s word becomes real. It becomes a
greater reality than the chair you sit on. In my life this is very true.
I was desolate and forsaken by everyone I trusted. I allowed
anger, and bitterness to overrule the grace I received and began to falter.
Relationships were severed and I met with some very harsh challenges, but God
remained at my side. Even though I didn’t admit it at the time.
He has been leading me all the time. Supporting me in ways
that is mindboggling at times. But that is a story for another day.
VISION
To establish a Christ-centred community that reflects God’s
glory and righteousness. To be my brother’s keeper is fundamental in
reconciling the hearts of the fathers to the sons and be a true reflection of
Christ in the earth.
3You shall also be a crown of glory, In the hand of the
Lord, And a royal diadem in the hand of your God. 4You shall no longer be
termed Forsaken, nor shall your land any more be termed Desolate; But you shall
be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah; For the Lord delights in
you, and your land shall be married. 5For as a young man marries a virgin, so
shall your sons marry you; And as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, So
shall your God rejoice over you.
5Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet, Before the
coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord. 6And he will turn the hearts
of the fathers to the children, And the hearts of the children to their
fathers, Lest I come and strike the earth with a curse.”
17Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation;
old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 18Now all
things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and
has given us the ministry of reconciliation, 19that is, that God was in Christ
reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and
has committed to us the word of reconciliation. 20Now then, we are ambassadors
for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s
behalf, be reconciled to God. 21For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for
us, that we might become the righteousness of God in HIM.
9Then it shall be to Me a name of joy, a praise, and an
honor before all nations of the earth, who shall hear all the good that I do to
them; they shall fear and tremble for all the goodness and all the prosperity
that I provide for it.’ 10“Thus says the Lord: ‘Again there shall be heard
in this place—of which you say, “It is desolate, without man and without
beast”—in the cities of Judah, in the streets of Jerusalem that are desolate,
without man and without inhabitant and without beast, 11the voice of joy and
the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride,
the voice of those who will say: “Praise the Lord of hosts, For the Lord is
good, For His mercy endures forever”—and of those who will bring the sacrifice
of praise into the house of the Lord. For I will cause the captives of the land
to return as at the first,’ says the Lord. 12“Thus says the Lord of hosts: ‘In
this place, which is desolate, without man and without beast, and in all its
cities, there shall again be a dwelling place of shepherds causing their flocks
to lie down. 13In the cities of the mountains, in the cities of the lowland, in
the cities of the South, in the land of Benjamin, in the places around
Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, the flocks shall again pass under the
hands of him who counts them,’ says the Lord. 14‘Behold, the days are coming,’
says the Lord, ‘that I will perform that good thing which I have promised to
the house of Israel and to the house of Judah: 15‘In those days and at that
time I will cause to grow up to David.
A Branch of righteousness.
He shall execute judgment and righteousness in the earth.
16In those days Judah will be saved, And Jerusalem will dwell safely. And this
is the name by which she will be called:
THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
17“For thus says the Lord: ‘David shall never lack a man to
sit on the throne of the house of Israel; 18nor shall the priests, the Levites,
lack a man to offer burnt offerings before Me, to kindle grain offerings, and
to sacrifice continually.’”
21But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is
revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets,
Doctrine and the prophetic will walk hand in hand. Take
note: it’s doctrine first, then prophetic. The prophet must adhere to the
Scriptures. Not the other way round.
