It was in January of 2019 during a first Sunday service of the year he was made Men's Fellowship leader.

The gathering of men was poor and the commitment from them was nothing to write home about.

Time and time again, the Pastor called for Men to sit up but no response.

The previous leader was a fantastic man who had grown weary and discouraged due to life's challenges. The financial strain on him was too much.

He tried. He really did but it was never enough.

When he was to step down, the Pastor asked him "Who will take over?".

He didn't hesitate - "Brother X" he said.

The Pastor called Brother X immediately he got into church and informed him.

"You will be the new Men's Fellowship leader" said the Pastor.

Brother X laughed because on the last week of December, the Holy Spirit already told him.

"You don't sound surprised and now you're laughing?" said the Pastor as he also smiled.

That Sunday, the Pastor called him out and anointed him. It was with mixed feeling as many were used to the previous men's leader.

Many came and shook hands with him and then Brother X...

...felt the weight of many men on his shoulder.

He spent the week praying and asking the Holy Spirit how he should proceed and then the entrance of the WORD brought light and understanding - PRAY AND GRILL.

A Men's gathering outside the church but in homes.

A good idea.

Why?

He discovered a lot of men weren't too comfortable in church hence the idea to use the house of Brothers.

It was like the Apostles of Old. Going from house to house breaking bread. The house never mattered so far they allowed us to use it.

The first meeting was to hold.

He visited the past President and told him his plans. He bought into it and immediately.

He pledged an amount and called two other brothers who also pledged an amount.

Brother X called another Brother and requested for the use of his house - "Yes! My house is open for use".

Everything was set.

The brother who was to grill had gotten everything. Drinks. Fruit salad. Cake.

Everything was set.

As he was praying that morning, the Holy Spirit told him - There would be 10 of you. The 10th person will come very late but no worries.

After much discussion, the men stood up to hold hands and immediately hands were linked, it felt like the house of Cornelius when Peter was speaking but this time, it was the Holy Spirit waiting for them.

The previous Men's leader had stopped praying in tongues 3 years ago...

He told Brother X that much and Brother X said "The Holy Spirit never left you, you simply went mute on Him but soon, you shall receive the fire".

As they held hands, the power of God came over him and he went into deep tongues!

It was glorious!

Five of the men who had never spoke in tongues scattered everywhere with their tongues.

At 7:55PM, the 10th brother walked and immediately he joined hands, The power of God magnified.

Tongues and Interpretations!

Men were sobbing and saying "I love you Lord".

The wife of the host started crying hearing her husband burst in tongues and declare God's love.

Men were kneeling and weeping and then God spoke through the previous leader - "I have waited for you to gather because men ought to gather and pray but you didn't".

"You complain of my silence yet you walk and dwell in unbelief and disobedience - Have you not seen that I have been waiting? Have you not seen, My Sons".

The last brother that joined took up a song and that was how they sang until another round of prophecies came.

The gathering became a regular thing and the attendance jumped from 10 to 45. The third PRAY AND GRILL took place under the Open Heavens - It rained heavily in both dimensions.

After that ministration, women started testifying of the changes in their husbands.

The men...

Started coming to church early and many who were unemployed got good offers. Businesses that were suffering started to flourish.

Church attendance grew. The church was able to pay of certain backlogs and in no time, the car park became too small.

The women's fellowship revived.

I have seen first hand what God can do when men gather to pray - Nothing beats it!

So many men out there are lost in the wilderness of life. Many are caught in strange webs and realities.

Some are lost and downcast.

Some, too far to hear the Master's voice.

I have seen a lot in my few years on earth and all I have seen has made me yearn for a gathering of men that would bring God glory.

Too many things have gone wrong because men have left God. Many have pursued money at the expense of the peace in their houses.

Divorce is at...

...an all time high. Domestic violence? Strange women? What of men caught in the web of demonic manipulation?

Beloved, men ought to gather and pray.

In view of this and many other factors, the Holy Spirit has instructed me to raise a gathering of men that he may bring them...

into SONSHIP.

It is called - THE HEARTH.

Here, the Holy Spirit will be gathering misfits like he gathered men unto David for the purpose of His kingdom.

Do you desire this fellowship? Do you want to pray and see changes? Is your marriage about to end?
