Dear Reader,
Do you know that there are three kinds of people in the world? They are: people who were once ordinary, some of us who are ordinary just for the time being, and those who will still be ordinary in the future.
I'm sure that if being extraordinary (or ordinary) were only a matter of choice, nobody would decide to be ordinary...well, except they wanted to be extraordinary by being ordinary. You get the point right?๐
Now, let's talk about you. Do you wish to remain ordinary? I know...I know, you're a work in progress, but there are so many failed talents out there. People who were supposed to be extraordinary but ended up drab ordinary.
You don't want to end up the same way, but I'm here to break it to you that you are at risk because over 70% of the world's population can be classified as ordinary.
However, there's Good News! There is something you can do and be 100% guaranteed to not end up ordinary and irrelevant like a snake that fails to make an impression of its path on the rock.

John.15.4 says, "Live in me. Make your home in me just as I do in you. In the same way that a branch can't bear grapes by itself but only by being joined to the vine, you can't bear fruit unless you are joined with me."

Here, consider bro Peter's "Plugging in" story
||
I used to be an ordinary fisherman back then. I had the skill and talent...and I might have made it on my own but life doesn't give guarantees. So when this man rumoured to be the Messiah met me and my brothers where we were washing our nets and guaranteed to make us not just great, but โfishers of men,โ I quickly followed him.
I learnt a lot in a short time and even discovered his real identity as the Christ [Messiah], the Son of the living God. I also walked on water for some moments. But because I was not yet plugged into the Holy Ghost, I made mistakes:
โข I argued with Jesus when he told me to cast my net because I'd done so overnight and didn't catch even crayfish!
โข I berated Jesus when he said he was going back to Jerusalem to die and rise again on the third day. Of course, he scolded me in return but...
โข I cut someone's ear in the spirit of vawulence when they wanted to arrest Jesus
โข I denied Jesus three times before the c**k crowed (This one really pained me)
I only knew how to be extraordinary, but I was not truly extraordinary.
Then...boom...Jesus gave us his parting gift โ The Holy Spirit
โBut you shall receive power (ability, efficiency, and might) when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be My witnesses in Jerusalem and all Judea and Samaria and to the ends (the very bounds) of the earth.โ
We stayed in that Upper Room and we got Plugged into the Holy Ghost.
You see, I used to be afraid of people before, like when that maid accused me of knowing Jesus...but after getting plugged in,

โข My shadow healed people
โข Demons were afraid of me
โข My handkerchief worked wonders
โข I became an extraordinary man

As for me, I want demons to be afraid of me. What about you?
You can become extraordinary like Peter... all you need is to be plugged into the staying power of the Holy Ghost...however, you also need to acknowledge Jesus as your lord and saviour first.
Or better still, to ensure that you are getting ๐๐ญ๐ถ๐จ๐จ๐ฆ๐ฅ ๐ช๐ฏ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ด๐ต๐ข๐บ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ฑ๐ฐ๐ธ๐ฆ๐ณ ๐ฐ๐ง ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ฐ๐ญ๐บ ๐๐ฑ๐ช๐ณ๐ช๐ต properly, why not ensure you attend today's programme?
It'll hold at Grace Havens Parish, AVI Event Centre, Akasolori, Ikorodu.
O. Joshua,
Grace Havens Parish
P.S. Four churches will be attending the program and there are limited seats, so try to arrive early. Besides, this kind of programme does not happen often. In fact, this one is happening by chance. You might not get this opportunity until a some years after this one. Your choice.
