| APOSTLE MOSES HALL |
Our
beloved overseer, mentor, teacher and spiritual father, Apostle Moses Hall,
went home to God on March 14th, 2013. This is a hard memoir to
write, for we never thought this day would come so quickly, so forgive me as I
brush aside tears to pay our respects to a man that walked and lived each day
for God.
My husband and I celebrate Apostle’s
life, while not quite sure how the void on this earth will be filled each day
without the strength of his presence here on earth. We keep picking up the phone to call him,
only to put the phone back down, realizing we can no longer speak to him here
on this earth. However, the joyful news
is that we will see him again in heaven, God’s kingdom, for we know where he
went and there is no doubt he lived his life for the Lord and loved God with
all his heart.
We
remember Apostle saying that God was his friend. He truly had that personal relationship with
God and sacrificed his life to live right and be a set example to those around
him. Not only did he live right, but he reminded me of the prophets of old that walked the earth preaching the Gospel Message of Jesus Christ in all corners of the world. Apostle loved people, he
continuously prayed for people, never turning his back on anyone, no matter what the circumstance.
We call
this man “The General”, he reminded us of a lion and a lamb, larger than
life with his presence, both authoritative and strong, but also that side of
him that was gentle and meek as a lamb, God’s humble servant, praising God in the midst of everything he went through in his life. Truly, he was a watchman, set to watch over
those that God assigned. He spent many a
day praying and interceding on behalf of people that God would lay on his
heart, and I know he prayed for Franz and me, our lives, our safety, our
families. Apostle told us to pursue God
with all our might, to live a life of prayer and fasting and look to God for
the answers, not to man.
This
man was a gift to Franz and me, a true blessing and part of our family. We honor his memory and his last request to
us: “Don’t forget” and “live right” “live right” live right” and “love each
other”. Apostle emphasized that he had
given us everything God gave to him, that he poured what he had into our lives,
that we were equipped now to carry on, but never forget and do not let the
vision God gave him for this ministry die. Apostle rarely went a day without checking on
us in some manner, he was truly our friend and family, a loyal and honest man
that we will forever be grateful for and thank God for allowing us to know him
for the time he had on earth.
We
will miss his corney jokes and talking
every day, listening and soaking up the words he spoke of God and the visions
God gave him, as well as the fellow-ship.
Apostle spoke destiny and purpose
into our lives and we will never forget him.
He is a part of us, in our hearts and we will carry him with us the rest
of our days.
Apostle
taught us to walk by faith, to trust in the Lord, praising God in all
circumstances, to persevere, press on, rise up when opposition comes, trust God
with all our might. Most of all, he
taught us to love and pray for everyone, even those who persecute us. Live right, live right, live right. Love each other, never go to bed mad at the
other and above all, forgive and let go of offenses.
We
love you Apostle, God has you now and we know you are dancing in the heavens
with your new body and singing those songs you used to sing to us. Your vision will not die here on earth. We give God praise, honor and may God get all the
glory. We are forever God's faithful and humble servants and we will not forget.
May God's perfect will be done.
Amen. Amen. Amen.
