A Haggai Prophetic Call to Revive the Present Church in Ruins

8 Go up to the mountains and bring wood and build the temple, that I may take pleasure in it and be glorified,” says the LORD.
9 “You looked for much, but indeed it came to little; and when you brought it home, I blew it away. Why?” says the LORD of hosts.
“Because of My house that is in ruins, while every one of you runs to his own house.”

Haggai 1: 4, 9

Dedication

This book, Rebuild My House, is prayerfully dedicated:

To the Kingdom of Elohim and His Messiah whose blood redeems and whose return we await (Revelation 22:12);

To my family (include beloved wife and children), whose Pentecostal heritage has nurtured me from childhood (With grandfathers among the early leaders of the East African Pentecostal Church founded in 1935 by Swedish missionaries; I was born again at twelve becoming the fourth generation of ministers in our family).

I am deeply grateful to faithful leaders across Eastern and Southern Africa who have shaped my spiritual walk, especially Rev. Canon Antoine Rutayisire of the Anglican Church of Rwanda, whose teachings on reconciliation have guided my ministry, and Evangelist Chris Ndikumana of Kanguka Broadcast International Ministry, a devoted Burundian revivalist whose ministry continues to inspire me.

I also gratefully acknowledge the influence of fellow servants of Christ and revival leaders from around the world. Though only a few are named here, I also honor many who never knew me personally and others who have gone to be with Adonai; their Spirit-led ministries continue to instruct and inspire me.

To the many senior Church leaders who nurtured my faith, shaped my calling, and imparted wisdom, anointing, and spiritual guidance through prayer and fellowship along my journey in the Body of Messiah:

- Late Pastor David Yonggi Cho, Founder of Yoido Full Gospel Church (YFGC), South Korea, whose book The Fourth Dimension profoundly shaped my faith and understanding of prayer.

- Late Evangelist Dr. Billy Graham, Founder of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA), USA, whose unwavering commitment to the gospel and influence through the Lausanne Covenant helped shape my evangelistic calling.

- Late Dr. Myles Munroe, Founder of Bahamas Faith Ministries International (BFMI), whose teachings expanded my understanding of Scripture, purpose, and Kingdom principles.

- Pastor Gary Skinner, Founder of Kampala Pentecostal Church (KPC), where I served in 2002 and received foundational insight into divine wisdom and church leadership.

- Apostle John Mulinde, Founder of World Trumpet Mission and the Nations Prayer Mountain, Uganda, where I spent seasons of fasting and prayer, and where during 2002–2003 I received the divine call to write this book.

- Bishop Coellastina R. Nangi, of Word of Prophecy Ministry (WPM), whose leadership and mentorship nurtured my missionary calling across Southern Africa.

- Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, Founder of the International School of Ministry (ISM), which I attended in 2011, further shaping my understanding of Scripture and the ministry of the Word.

- Bishop Billy Mfula, Founder and General Overseer of Jesus Anointed Ministries (JAM) and President of Advocates for the Declaration of Zambia as a Christian Nation, whose vision became foundational to this book when I received revelation that Zambia stands as the “small cloud” of 1 Kings 18:44.

- Pastor Eddy Bushitse, Senior Pastor of Christ’s Elect Family Church (CEFC), whose faithfulness, humility, and commitment to the work of the ministry have continually encouraged and strengthened me.

- I also honor the testimonies of former African warlords once bound in the kingdom of darkness, whose transformation in Messiah confirmed my understanding of spiritual warfare and exposed the realities of witchcraft and deliverance; and the testimonies of former Muslims converted to Christ, whose witness affirms that ‘Isa of the Qur’an is not the same as Yeshua the Messiah revealed in the Holy Scriptures.

May this work strengthen your hands, stir your spirit, and remind you that your labor in the Lord is not in vain (1 Corinthians 15:58).
