"THE COUNTRY CALLED CHURCH "

In a country calling.........CHURCH We don't Preaching Repentance, Holiness, Righteousness, Confessions, Restitution, Substitution, Sober reflections, the high cost of sin, etc because we are all saved by a Grace promised by our Daddy and our PAPA in the Lord. We don't need to repent or flee from sin because our Daddy in the Lord has assured us that our names has been written in the Book of life.

In a country calling ......... CHURCH We love having sex without marriages and walk on roads on artificial look and dress half naked because our Papa in the Lord has said, it is only Muslims that will go to hell not Christian that believes.

IN THE NEWS THIS MORNING: Hijab in primary and secondary schools in Nigeria

The Islamic clergymen in Nigeria vowed that it is going to be a fights to finish and a serious war if any Court or any association or any groups of People should make any attempt to ban the wearing of hijab in primary and secondary schools in Nigeria.

It is going to be Fights and WAR on anyone trying to stop our women from wearing hijab to schools in all the states in Nigeria....... WARNED by all the Immam, Alfa, Alhaji and Clergymen in Nigeria.

My takes on this.......
While my Christian Sisters are roaming the streets polluted the earth with breast exposures shamelessly with a dead conscience, Muslims want their women to cover their breast and their body in the Public.

God is Not a Christian, By Fred Adetiba

The average religious mind will shudder upon seeing this title. I cannot overemphasise how much I despise religion in its entirety. Religion dulls the spirit and kills the brain. It pollutes and perverts the ways of God, replacing them with what may seem to have originate from man, but which actually originates from the master of deception himself, Satan. It is the spirit that has not only given those who subscribe to the values and principles of the kingdom, a religion called Christianity, but also carved a Christian-god for them.

Man has always had the tendency of being ahead of himself, without recourse to the Creator on what next step to take per time. Social, political and economic systems of the world are falling apart today because man thinks he can navigate through life without God. This is the same posturing of religious spirit. Rather than seek direction and definition from God, man continues to do as he pleases. It is this spirit that has placed Christianity alongside other religions of the world, with its own god. That is why Christians have certain dispositions toward other religious people. Whenever this Christian-god is being projected, I wonder if He is the same God that created the heavens and the earth, everyone and everything in them as recorded in Genesis 1. I also wonder if He is the One that said “I am the Lord, the God of all flesh…” (Jeremiah 32:27). The God I know and serve, created everyone including those who do not believe He exists.

25 But now I go unto Jerusalem to minister unto the saints.

26 For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor saints which are at Jerusalem.

27 It hath pleased them verily; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister unto them in carnal things.

MESSAGE

Apostle Paul in the Bible reading for today, teaches us one missing ingredient of true discipleship in today’s contemporary Church; which is the ministry of care. Despite the great anointing with which Apostle Paul was ministering to both Jews and Gentiles, it is amazing to read that the ministry of care was not absent from his vocation as a preacher of the gospel. It is also interesting to note that the lives of the early apostles of Jesus Christ were not only in alignment with the teachings of Jesus Christ but were also in alignment with their own teachings. Jesus Christ taught that his followers should be hospitable, kind hearted and generous. He said to us in Matthew 10:42 that:

Unbelievable! See what these girls are wearing to dance in church

GOFAMINT VICTORY MONTH PRAYER POINTS FOR DAY 28; UNPRECEDENTED BREAKTHROUH FOR ALL GOFAMINT BRANCHES IN AFRICA

FOCUS: UNPRECEDENTED BREAKTHROUH FOR ALL GOFAMINT BRANCHES IN AFRICA

INSIGHT FOR EFFECTIVE PRAYING

        There is no country where the Gospel cannot prosper for there is no place God can be restricted. All we need is God’s presence in all our branches. Psalms 19:3–4:

“[There is] no speech nor language, [where] their voice is not heard.

Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun”.

God is able to do it again by kindling the fire of revival, doing wonders, healing people and opening their hearts to salvation through Christ our Savior.

Signs and wonders are keys to unprecedented breakthrough, to open a new place and operate with high hand’s of God.

John 4:48: Then said Jesus unto him, “Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.”

Jesus promised His Apostles signs and wonders as they embarked on soul-winning in the world around them.

Mark 16:17: “And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues”

The apostles prayed for signs and wonders Acts 4:29 – 30. Evangelist Philip brought great deliverance and joy to the city of Samaria through signs and wonders (Acts 8:5 – 8)

GOFAMINT VICTORY MONTH PRAYER POINTS FOR DAY 27: RENEWED VISION, GRACE AND ANOINTING UPON ALL GOFAMINT KEY-MINISTERS

THE GOSPEL FAITH MISSION INTERNATIONAL (GOFAMINT)

DAY 27: Tuesday 28th January 2014

FOCUS: RENEWED VISION, GRACE AND ANOINTING UPON ALL GOFAMINT KEY-MINISTERS

TEXT: ISAIAH 43:19-21

INSIGHT FOR EFFECTIVE PRAYING

There is a tendency for a person to get weary or tired after working for a length period. This can also happen to servants of God in the vineyard. 

Moses’ example on the mountain in Exodus chapter 17 is a good one. He raised his hands up as a spiritual back-up to ensure the victory of the army of Israel. As long as his hands were up, Israel army were on the winning side. At a time, however, his hands were wearied and he held them down and the tide turned, the enemies started prevailing. His supporters had to make an arrangement whereby his hands were held up perpetually which led to permanent victory for Israel.

We are concerned about the key-leaders of our Church today. They are humans. They can be wearied or tired. We have a responsibility to raise their hands up as Moses followers did for him. When we pray for them, there will be renewal of grace, strength and anointing. The Bible says, “He giveth power to the faint, and to them that have no might he increaseth strength” (Isa. 40:29). As we pray for them, God will do a new thing in their lives in Jesus name.

LET US PRAY

1.    Thank You Lord, for the increase of offices and officers at the top level of our Church because of our growth.

2.       Key-leaders in our Administrative office: Lord, lay Your hand upon all the key administrative officers and let them be operating by nothing but Your Spirit.

3.    Exco members: Let every member of the Executive Council of the Church have an encounter with You so that they can work in partnership with You while taking  decision on vital and sensitive issues affecting the life of the Church.

4.    Regional and Inspectorate Pastors: These peculiar officers are in charge of our Regions: Dear Lord, lay Your hand upon these men of God that they may operate under Your anointing not in the flesh or in their senses in the Regions.

5.      Assistant General Overseers: Help these servants of Yours not only to work closely with the General Overseer but also with the Holy Spirit that their works will have positive impact upon the Church.

6.      National Overseers: These ministers represent the General Overseer and GOFAMINT in their different nations. Dear Lord, fill them with Your fullness that their presence and ministrations in their different countries will manifest Your glory and power to the fullest.

7.      H.O.Ds: These set of ministers operate at the national level of the Mission. Help each of them Lord to make a full proof of their calling for significant achievements which will be felt all over the Mission.

8.          District/Area Pastors: Work with each of these ministers by sharing with them the formula that they need to use for the growth of their various districts/areas.

9.      National Committees: The Mission has many National Committees and Boards, saddled with the responsibilities of making the programmes and projects of the Church functional and effective Dear Lord, bless the chairmen and members of these various Committees and Boards with wisdom and other endowments to get these programmes and projects to greater heights.

10.        Dear Father, help the leaders to discern redundant officers occupying sensitive offices and the needed wisdom to replace them with capable hands.

11.    We ask for renewal of strength for all those who are weak and healing for all who have sustained one injury or the other in the battlefield in Jesus’ name.

12.    Dear Lord, let Your grace be sufficient for all our retired ministers and let the latter end of their lives be more glorious than the beginning.

13.       District Excoms: Pray that members of your District may live above board and work consciously for the progress of the District.

GOFAMINT VICTORY MONTH PRAYER POINTS FOR DAY 26: COMMENSURATE ANOINTING FOR THE G.O. AND THE D.G.O. OF GOFAMINT

THE GOSPEL FAITH MISSION INTERNATIONAL (GOFAMINT)

Day 26: Monday 27th January 2014

FOCUS: COMMENSURATE ANOINTING FOR THE G.O.

AND THE D.G.O. OF GOFAMINT

TEXT: ACTS 13:1-12

INSIGHT FOR EFFECTIVE PRAYING

The success or otherwise of any community or organization depends largely on the leadership. That is why the Bible is unequivocal in its injunction for us to pray for our leaders. The life of our G. O. as well as his deputy is compatible with the gospel. They are the leaders that we can be proud of. Christians of other denominations as well as non-Christians in the community recognize them as exemplary Christian leaders and we are proud of that.  We are not saying that they are perfect but they are above board in the way they conduct their lives.

Like the Church in Antioch, we want to pray specially for these leaders today. The Antioch Church fasted and prayed for Paul and Barnabas for the work God had called them unto. Reading through our Bible passage today, it would be discovered that these two ministers were confronted with the power of darkness in their ministerial journey. They overcame the opposition because of the prayers that were done on their behalf by the Church. The power of God was also demonstrated in a great measure through their ministrations. We also want to pray for our leaders for the work that God has called them unto that they may also make a success of their ministries for the progress of the Church.

LET US PRAY

1.     Thank You Lord, for the lives of our leaders, for what You have done for them and through them.

2.         Thank You for guiding and leading the G.O. to lead this Church thus far.

3.     We pray for these our leaders for new grace, vision and renewed energy to lead this Church to the next level in Jesus’ name.

4.     Release upon them a fresh anointing that they may not be weary or tired in Jesus’ name.

5.     As the burden and the responsibility of the Church is increasing in proportion with the growth of the Church, let Your power increase in them to meet all the challenges in Jesus’ name.

6.      Grant unto the G.O. the seeing eyes and the hearing ears to see and to hear clearly what the Lord is saying to the Church.

7.      Grant also to the D.G.O. the vision of “men of Issachar vision” to know what the Church ought to do to move forward.

8.      We stand against all opposing forces and powers contending with their successes in Jesus’ name.

9.      Grant them insight into divine agenda for the Church and the grace and power to follow the agenda.

10.    Grant them the wisdom to untie all the knotty issues and to proffer solutions to them in Jesus’ name

11.    Meet their own needs and solve all their personal and family problems that they may serve You more with their whole heart in Jesus’ name.

12. You started with them, continue with them and perfect the great works You have been doing in their lives oh Lord.

13.    We lift Matron Felicia Abina before the throne of grace today, let the time of refreshing come upon her to make her totally whole.

14.    Help our G.O. And the D.G.O. to continue to live blameless lives in Jesus’ name.

15.    Grant them the spirit of unity and the grace to affect lives of the entire ministers of the Church for Christ.

16.    Grant the duo the very desires of their hearts in Jesus’ name.

FOCUS: GOFAMINT PROGRAMMES AND PROJECTS IN 2014

16.   In the name of Jesus, year 2014 shall be a year of abundant blessings for all members of GOFAMINT.

17.  Lord, let GOF.TV makes tremendous impact on the Mission and all our viewers world-wide in Jesus’ name.

GOFAMINT VICTORY MONTH PRAYER POINTS: THE LOVE OF GOD THROUGH THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

THE GOSPEL FAITH MISSION INTERNATIONAL (GOFAMINT)

DAY 19: MONDAY 20TH JANUARY 2014

FOCUS: THE LOVE OF GOD THROUGH THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

TEXTS: ROMANS 5:5; I JOHN 4:7-20

INSIGHT FOR EFFECTIVE PRAYING

 Love, love, love, Love is an endearing and adorable virtue desired by all and sundry. It is an essential and a scarce commodity in our society. All Creature including, animals desire and understand the language of love. Everybody needs and wants it, but only few people have it to offer. On the other hand, God is an embodiment of it. God is love, inside out. His attitude and relationship with human beings are purely and fully in love. He loved the World so much that He gave us His only begotten Son. His love made Him to provide for the needs of all human beings. He made His rain and sun to fall and shine upon the good and the wicked. Our make-up and entire being is the product of His love. He made the earth and its fullness and handed it over to man without a charge. His love is higher, deeper and wider than human comprehension!

Human being is entirely opposite instead of love. Instead of love, man is full of wickedness against his neighbor, he hates, cheats, supplants, destroys, manipulates, degrades and disrespect fellow beings to say the least. Thank God for God’s greatest gift of love which is Jesus Christ. It is only in this divine gesture that the hope for love is restored to the fullest. It is through this divine love that sinners are restored back to God. It is in it that we pray and have answers from God. It is on this same platform that Jesus Christ sent the Holy Spirit to us as our counselor and comforter.

When the Holy Spirit comes, He arms Himself with this all-important virtue of love. When one becomes a child of God through Christ and is filled with the Holy Spirit, one distinguishing characteristics that must be glaring in the life of such a person is love. Why? When the Holy Spirit comes into our heart, He spreads the love of God abroad in our lives (Rom. 5:5). This love works both vertically (towards God) and horizontally (towards men). In the early days of our Church, love was the watchword among the brethren. The situation is not the same today again. Hatred, disunity, quarrelling and mistrust is the order of the day. All these are done under the guise of spirituality and holiness.

Majority of us in the Church today are very critical and judgmental. We are too legalistic when handling issues that affect the welfare of our brethren. All these are done under the pretence that we want to help the people to be holy. Many of us have adopted “holier than thou”attitude in our relationship with our brethren. Oh, how satan is using God’s children against one another. Paul said, in Gal. 5:13: “But if ye bite and devour one another beware lest you be consumed by one another”. This is not saying those who erred in the Church should not be disciplined, no. But where is love in the process of our activities as it affects those who erred and those expected to restore.

Can the members confess that they do enjoy love from the leaders as well as other members of the Church? Can all our Ministers in our districts and assemblies say with confidence that they are relating in love and unity? If love is not in full demonstration, let us not make any unnecessary excuse, let us seek for it and ask the Holy Spirit to baptize us once again. We need love!

LET US PRAY

1.    We are sober today and unhappy that love is not in its rightful place among us again, please forgive us.

2.    In whatever way that we and our leaders have failed to demonstrate love, please be merciful unto us.

3.    We come to You today without excuse, that we are destitute of love, oh blessed Holy Spirit, baptize us with Your love.

4.    We want to be like God as embodiment of love, dear Lord, fill us with the spirit and power of love in Jesus’ name.

5.   Perform Your operation in our lives and remove every bit of hatred element from our hearts oh God.

6.    Dear father, make me an instrument of love to demonstrate the agape love to the Church and the World.

7.  Make GOFAMINT as a Church an emblem of love and make our assemblies love arena. Let love be visible in our midst.

8. We pray today for every family, especially couples who are destitute of love, overwhelm them with the anointing of love oh dear father in Jesus’ name.

9.  In whatever way some people in our midst have not been considerate in administering discipline, to the detriment of the welfare of those disciplined, intervene and remedy the situation, Lord.

10.  Whoever that might have been brutalized or felt offended through miscalculated judgment, heal and restore them oh Lord.

11.  Help our leaders at different levels of the Church to maintain standard and balanced it with compassion in their ministrations, Oh Lord.

12.  Help our leaders at every level of the Church to be models of love within themselves as ministers and with their members.

13.  Gal. 6:1-3: Grant unto our disciplinary committee at every level of the Church to handle every case with the spirit and mind of God.

14.  Holy Spirit of love, cover us all and fill our lives and Churches totally. Help us to know that we miss nothing when we love and gain nothing when we hate others in Jesus name.
