It is by the grace of God that I was able to take part in the convention in COTE D’IVOIRE from 12 to 19 September 2006 with brother LIFESE, and brother BARILIER and brother FRANK … it started at Bondoukou (1st step) 12 and 13/09/2006 evening and morning.

After the meeting of 12/09/2006 at 3:30 pm, he came to my heart in my hotel room to ask brother LIFESE to pray for 2 requests that I will submit to him :

1 – To receive the Holy Spirit for me, for my wife and for our 9 children including those living under our oof.  2 – To get a house for the retirement in 2008.

I told brother Menzan and brother Abou that I would like brother LIFESE to pray for 2 requests that I have in the heart without naming them. But it would be in San Pedro when we would reach there that I would tell him to pray. Then early in the morning of 13/09/2006 we went (brother Menzan and me) to the hotel Marahaba to fetch brother Barilier and brother Lifese to lead them to the place of meeting.

After greeting brother Barilier, we went directly into the room of brother Lifese who gave us a sit. While we were preparing to leave, I told him : “Brother, I have 2 requests for which I would ask you to pray for when we will arrived in San Pedro“ And we went out to go for the meeting. There it was brother Lifese who went to the pulpit first as usual. Here in his preaching as by a consecrated and his holy mouth, the Lord has answered my concern : “Beloved brothers, worry not about anything, whether for a house, food, cloths or anything else, know that the Lord will provide. But you seek first the kingdom of heaven and his justice … “ Answer to Request No. 2 (to get a house for retirement) “ … God showed in vision to Peter what he should do in the house of Cornelius. And the same God told Cornelius to bring Peter in his house. When Peter began to preach the gospel, he and all those who were with him received the Holy Spirit … “Answer to Request No.1 (to receive the Holy Spirit for me and my house).

I solemnly take God as witness here that I don’t invent this testimony. It is a reality that I experienced in Boudoukou on 13/09/2006. And I assert that brother Lifese Leonard is a true servant in whom mouth God put also his word. Listen to him and you will be blessed as I have experienced in Côte d’Ivoire. Because this man knew nothing of the two requests for which I would have asked him to pray for when we will arrive at San Pedro.

But as it is a true instrument of God, He inspired him to talk of them to convince me about two things :

1 – The answer of these requests. 2 – Confirmation of the Ministry of this humble and powerful servant of God. Amen !

Brother Jean Kouassi

Monday 02 June 2007 evening, I was suffering from a fever but it was not very serious. Then on Tuesday morning around 10:00 am, I wanted to brush my teeth and do my breakfast.

Then I felt my body very weak with a strong fever, so I could not move from my bed. I thought maybe it will go. Then I started to make efforts to get up from my bed but impossible because I was very weak and unable to move. Then I started ti feel pain all over my body. As I was felling a great pain, I began to cry  and I said to myself who I could call because I was alone in my house with no one to help me. I had to wait for the return of my brother at 10pm because I live with my brother.

Thank God for the first time I slept with my mobile phone under my pillow so I made efforts to take my phone under my pillow to call anyone, to alert him so that he will come and break the door.

Then the first number I dialed by chance was Pastor Leonard’s one, I was a little bit relieved because I thought he would come and see me if I told him that I was sick and that will be an opportunity to take me to hospital.

The Pastor then asked me if I was well but I told him that I was very sick and was unable to move. Then he asked my address so that he could come and pray for me. The he told me he will recall me within five minutes. So after five minutes, he recalled me to tell me that he will not come but he would pray for me on the phone, I was discouraged but I said yes anyway. Then he asked me to sit down for him to pray, I agreed to please him, because I could not get up from my bed to sit down, it was impossible because I was not feeling my members.

He began to pray for me on the phone and after prayer, he will tell me “we will meet soon. “ So myself, I was thinking how will we meet and where, because I am alone at home and I cannot even move. (He will tell me to eat.) I did not believe too much but I know that as he prayed, I will be healed but not immediately. My faith was that “he comes to that place“, then as he did not come I was a little bit discouraged !

So after the prayer of pastor on the phone and his advices, I remained lying on the bed, three minutes later I heard a voice telling me :“did I not tell you to sit down by brother“ the voice was that of pastor Leonard. Then I returned to see how he came in, then I saw him physically ans asking me to sit down, so I was surprised to see him in the house when the door was closed. I have not ssen him in a vision but physically because I was not sleeping. He talked with me physically by doing sign of the hand to sit down.

When I sat down, I told myself that I must ask him how he entered the house while the door was closed. When I wanted to ask him this question he suddenly disappeared. I was very afraid and I took my phone to call and know where he was.

 He said he was in his office, I told him that this is not possible because I just see you here there is not even a minute. I began to cry and that is when the pastor told me that it was the Lord who visited me. I was always scared and cried because it was not a vision or a dream because I did not sleep but I was awake and lying on the bed. I thought how a person can be in two places at the same time.

 After the disappearance of pastor, five minutes later I heard someone knocking at the door, I said that I want to open the door. When I opened the door, it was my sister who was there, telling me that someone just told me that you were sick and I had to come and take you to give you food and take care of you.

A surprise for me because it was the words of pastor after his prayer. I asked my sister who was this person, she said she did not know that person. That is why I praised God that visited me, I who could not move, I had the courage to get up, to sit down, to go and open the door and especially to go to the Assembly that same Tuesday. When I saw the pastor that Tuesday (05/06/2007) to the Assembly in the evening, I remembered the word he told me in the day after prayer : “Brother we will meet soon “.

May God be praised for this great miracle and instant healing He granted to me on Tuesday 05/06/2007 at 2pm and, for all the good things He continues to do for me and my family, as well as what He does for the brothers and sisters in the Lord.

 May God bless my pastor and His servant Leonard for his willingness to pray and help me spiritually since I am in the Assembly. May God fill him of His grace and His strength to holdout until the end and may God be favorable to his family (his wife and his son).

Brother Emmanuel Lohombo

A few months ago, I was suffering from stomach pain, from bloating, and from intestinal pain. This was worrying me a lot and saddened me greatly. I was really not feeling well, so I decided to go to see brother Leonard. He prayed for me, anointing me with oil.

 Some time later, I saw him again because the doctor wanted me to do the general examinations. When  I went to see the pastor informing him of the decision of the doctor, brother Leonard stared at me and said “they will find nothing, we will pray, believe me. Go and do the examinations and you will tell me what“.

 The examinations showed no abnormality, all was well. The Lord healed me and I was fully restored. May His Name be praised.

My beloved brother in Christ Leonard, God richly bless you !

I take this opportunity through the International Mission of Center to bear this testimony to the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. I am very grateful to the Lord who remains faithful to its promises. Indeed, after reading The protest and the testimony of the calling to the ministry (section of testimonies), I thought to give this testimony to the glory of our God.

Back in Gabon in 2004 after several years in Cote d’Ivoire (Abidjan), I settled in Port-Gentil knowing that in most of the assemblies of the message in this city were preached false doctrines (3rd Adam, thunders, etc. …).

I was certain of one thing : that God Himself takes care of His people. The year 2006, we had a visit from brother Barilier Alexis and brother Leonard Lifese ; it was the 1st time I saw the brother Leonard. Their stay was a great blessing for us hence our desire to invite brother Leonard for some days of meeting in Port-Gentil. God granted and brother Leonard came back in January 2007.

During these meetings, we saw the work of the Lord through a man – Ephésiens 4: 11 – exercising the ministry of an Apostle. After reading « Render therefore to Caesar … and Tell those whose hearts are troubled … » and attended the preaching at these meetings, I saw in our beloved brother : love of neighbor, humility, love and the Word of God in practice …

I bless the Lord for the grace that He grants me to listen the Online Sermons, which is a great blessing for all those who do it. During these moments, the presence of the Lord is so that we feel it at the place where we find ourselves for the listening. May the Lord support His work ! Regarding the discernment of thoughts, I have personally experienced it on 30 August 2007. That day, between 12 and 2 pm I felt very badly to the point that I was breathing hardly. I telephoned brother Leonard in the intention that he could pray for me. After having explained the purpose of my calling, he began to talk with me and at the end, he asked me if he could pray for me through the phone and at the same moment I realized that the Lord just granted all the desire my heart and I answered affirmatively. The healing was spontaneous. This was happening in the presence of my senior to whom I had just given the booklet « Telle those whose hearts are troubled … ».

I just told him this : it is the one who wrote the booklet who just prayed for. His heart was touched by what just happened before him. The Lord always confirms his servants and I believe it. Concerning my son, brother Leonard told me this : « sister Brigitte, the Lord will give you back your son, only believe and persevere ». I give thanks to God because it just came to pass. I remember one day that I told Br. Leonard by telephone that he leads well the songs when he never told me he had lead the songs in his Assembly in Brussels. All that I saw in the person of our beloved brother Leonard, I have found it in his testimony « the call to the Ministry ».

May the glory be to our Lord Jesus Christ who sends us his servants according to  Ephesians 4: 11 for the perfecting of saints that we are !

 Your beloved sister in Christ Brigitte Ndo
