CELEBRATING THE WORD AND GLORY CONFERENCE

The Word and Glory Invasion conference has come and gone but we will never forget the things the Lord has done for us as a ministry through this conference. The Lord has thought us how to prepare and pray as well as execute a major ministry programme. Our detractors succeeded in pacing certain obstacles in our way during this programme and interfering with the attendance despite the huge publicity and expenses, but heaven recorded all our efforts. our promotion is undoubted. It is obvious that the Lord is pleased, and has poured out His blessings from heaven upon our ministry. The next few months will never be the same for us. the next set of programmes we are going to do, will be better planned and prepared for and of course bigger!
I still remember vividly the message and prayers(intercessions, and blessing by Pastor Ben Nwankwo upon us and our ministry. The unforgettable renditions and praise and worship by the music ministers, and my brief teaching on the glory of God! All these will be appearing on our You Tube channels very soon.
God bless you as you follow us and watch in Jesus name-Amen!

Worship before the throne of God, started before this world was created, and will last forever!

There are people in the church today, who do not understand why there is so much singing going on in the church. They do not understand why people have to express such heavy emotions, lifting up their hands, bowing down and sometimes even crying, while in church or during church services. This is the main reason why some people who consider themselves to be matured, shy away from the meetings of certain Pentecostal churches.  There are others who despise worship leaders, and choristers and those who sing a lot. There are still some young people who don’t like their friends that are constantly singing praises instead of trendy secular music by world class secular hippo, pop and rock stars.
Statistics and certain studies have shown that up to 70% of all the things we do in the kingdom of God, involve music or comprise of it. That is a fact, and that is the way God intended for it to be.
YESTERDAY
 It is important to understand that God taught the angels of old, how to celebrate and activate his power and His presence, through worship.
Lucifer, who was chief among God’s archangels, was created specially with tabrets and pipes, and we can see this in Ezekiel chapter 28 and verse 13:
“13 Thou has been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, the topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, the gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes were prepared in thee, in the day that thou wast created.”
Therefore Lucifer was created with special instruments of music, within himself, there could have been no other purpose for this, except for worship. Then after his fall and defeat, worship still continued in heaven.
On the day our father God decided to re-create the world, including man, and decided to make man in His own image, the angels were excited. They went hysterical with praise and worship. Their excitement, about the fact that God was now going to extend their realm of service, and make another one like him-knew no bounds. We can see this in Job chapter38 and verses4-7:
“4 Where was thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? Declare if thou hast understanding.
5 Who has laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? Or who has stretched the line upon it?
6 Whereupon are the foundations fastened? Or who laid the cornerstone thereof;
7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?”
The angels as we can see in verse 7 sang for joy on the day the world was created, it has always been part of their ministry.
Again, in the Book of Psalms, the psalmists such as David, and others- a acknowledged this ministry of the angels, which in turn now enhances or amplifies a similar ministry which has been given to man. This ministry has been given to the saints of God in general. We can see this in Psalm 103, verse 20 and 21as follows:
“20 Bless the Lord ye His angels, that excel in strength, that do His commandments, hearkening unto the voice of His word.
21 Bless ye the Lord all ye His hosts; ye ministers of His that do His pleasure”.
King David recognized the beauty of angelic worship, and commands them to do the same as an expression of solidarity, to His other creatures-because of God’s goodness and His greatness.
Also in Psalm 148 and verse 2 again, we read as follows:
“2 Praise ye Him, all His angels: praise ye him, all His hosts,
3 Praise ye Him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light”
These are a few examples from the old dispensation, beginning from before creation of the world, to the time before Christ came.

TODAY

Right from the day Christ was born, we began to see this ministry repeated with joy, because as they sang (the angels), they gave glory to God in the highest, and they declared-shalom or peace unto men. They declared the highest level of total well-being to men of good will, because Jesus Christ our savior had been born. We can see this in the Book of Luke chapter 2, verses 13-14:
“13 And suddenly there was with the angel, a multitude of heavenly hosts praising God and saying,
14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will towards men”.

 This was just another glimpse into the ministry of the angels in heaven, that as soon as the savior was born in Bethlehem in a manger, an angel appeared to a group of shepherds who were watching over their flocks by night. Immediately after announcing the birth of the savior to them, another group of heavenly hosts, appeared, and worshipped God-celebrating the birth of the savior in their presence.

TOMORROW

The Book of Revelation is heavily packed with what shall come to be in the nearest future. Most of the time, we focus on the coming rapture, the great tribulation, or the judgments of God on the earth or all creation. However, there is so much concerning the worship that already goes on around the throne of God, and will continue to go on and will be amplified in the ages to come. These days, when we worship God, we do not know that the angels are right there with us doing what we are doing, however, and then we shall know. In Revelation chapter 5 and verse 11, we read as follows:
“11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands.
12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom and strength, and honour, and glory and blessing”.
This revelation, showed an uncountable number of angels, probably numbering billions, worshipping God, together with the beasts, and the elders.
This great ministry of worship will be one of the key ministries of the angels and the saints, in the ages to come.
Therefore, when we engage in this ministry today, we ought to do it with all our might. The most astonishing thing about the ministry of praise and worship is the release of God’s power that is associated with praise and worship. The release of God’s power has to do with His manifest presence.
One of my greatest experiences in the world is when I worship God, and He comes down with His power, and the glory of God destroys the yokes of darkness. I experience this every day of my life, and can assure you that there is nothing like it, because the Bible tells us that in His presence is fullness of joy, and at His right hand are pleasures forever more.

THE POWER AND THE BEAUTY OF A FOCUSED LIFE

Focus in life is very necessary, for effectiveness, efficiency, productivity, and success.
Enhanced by Zemanta
One of the things that I like so much about the Book of Proverbs is the ability of the wisest man who ever lived,(I believe, apart from Christ), to give instructions that can apply to everyone and anyone in spite of their age and time of existence.
In the Book of Proverbs chapter 4 generally and especially verses 20-27, we can read the most profound instructions from a father to his son, on how to have a focused and thereby a successful life.
Paying attention to the word of God
In verse 20-22(AMP) of the Book of Proverbs, we read as follows:
“20 My son attend to my words; consent and submit to my sayings.
21 Let them not depart from your sight; keep them in the center of your heart.
22 For they are life to those who find them, and healing to all their flesh”.
These three verses of scripture bring out what I will call-the what, where, and the why, of the word of God.
Concerning the what, the wise man by the Holy Spirit tells you and I how precious the most important commodity-ever is. Why do I call it a commodity, because the Bible says-Buy the truth and sell it not!
And so He instructs us to go for the most important thing and pay attention to it and hear it all the time.
Concerning the where of the word of God, He tells us to store it in our hearts or spirits. The human spirit is the Centre of man, and the word of God is the raw material for building up the human spirit. In the Book of Acts, we read, Acts chapter 20 and verse 32:
“32 And now brethren: I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and to give you an inheritance amongst them who are sanctified”.
So it takes the word stored in your spirit, to build you up, but it also takes the word to renew your mind. The Bible tells us in the Book of Romans chapter 12 and verses 1-2, that if your mind is not renewed, you will not know the different phases or types of the will of God.
Lastly on the instructions concerning the word, let us look at the why of the word of God: verse 22 of the same scriptures tells us that the word of God gives life to those who find it, and is medicine to all their flesh.
What does He mean by the word of God giving life to those who find it? The word of God, is anointed, the word of God carries creative and healing power. If the word of God has the ability to create life, it sure has the ability to sustain life.
The Bible tells us in the Book of John chapter 1 that the word of God was here right from the beginning, and all things were made by him, without him was not anything made that was made.
Jesus went on and said, “The words that I speak to you they are spirit and they are life”!
Therefore, it is easy to see that the word of God is the giver and sustainer of all life!
Guarding your heart or spirit against the interference of negative influences.
Again in the next verse, which is verse 23, we read another very important instruction as follows:
“23 Keep and guard your heart with all vigilance, and above all that you guard, for out it flow the springs of life”.
This scripture is very important, the heart here refers to your spirit, and your mind is the doorway to your spirit. Therefore whatever goes on in your mind, affects your spirit because it will eventually find its way into that place if care is not taken.
The mind is the battleground; devils are able to insert things into your mind, if you let them. They can suggest for you to go and sleep with someone not your spouse, and if you are not careful, you will stomach it. They can tell you that you will never be healed because God does not love you, and you will believe it. These days, we are told that there are mind reading satellites, and occultism has extended to the mind and is now wreaking havoc in many places.
Occult mind readers are able to search out secrets and can harm you if you not grounded in the word of God, based on the apparently true things that they can fling out from your mind.
Avoiding the evil tongues
As you continue to read, He continues to instruct via the wise man in chapter4 and verse 24:
“24 Put away from you false and dishonest speech, and willful and contrary talk, put far from you”.
I love the way the King James Version of the Bible wrote this part, it tells you to put away from you, the froward mouth and to stay away from perverse speech.
Now putting the two scriptures together, it means to put away from you, in terms of either you speaking falsely or in a dishonest manner, or you hearing it from somebody else.
It equally means that we should not allow those who speak foul and immoral language or talk to hang around us speaking vile and foul things that will eventually find their way into your heart or mine, and corrupt us or corrupt the anointing inside us.
The necessity: why you ought to be focused, persistent and consistent.
The last three verses from the eight verses of scripture mentioned above, lay emphasis on why you and I should be focused in all that we do, let us look at them (25-27):
“25 Let your eyes look right on [with fixed purpose], and let your gaze be straight before you.
26 Consider well the path of your feet, and let your ways be established and ordered aright.
27 Turn not aside to the right hand or to the left; remove your foot from evil”.
In life there are many ways that the devil strives to distract us. The enemy comes from or through our friends, as well as through our enemies, to throw things at us. He never gives up on this. If you have never been fought left and right by the wicked, in an effort to push you off from your divine destiny and purpose, you will never know what am talking about.
If you have not yet encountered people whom what they have can never be enough for them, what things they have achieved in their lives are never enough for them, and the devil tells them that unless they take away the one God gave you, they are nothing. These are people some of who are in our churches, but they cannot recognize the voice of the devil, neither can they discern that they are deceived and going to hell because of their folly, are those you and I need to be very careful with.
You and I need to be careful how we let the devil talk to us or to our destiny through them, because it matters who you listen to and respond to.
In another important scripture, the wise man says to us: When sinners entice you, consent thou not, that is in Proverbs chapter 1 and verse 10:
“1 My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not”KJV.
