-WELCOME ADDRESS FROM THE DIRECTOR -
I PERSONALLY APPRECIATE YOU AS YOU HOOK UP TO THIS PAGE, I JUST WANT TO INVITE YOU SPECIALLY AND PERSONALLY TO JOIN A FELLOWSHIP OF BELIEVERS IN CHRIST WHO ARE COMMITTED TO FOLLOWING JESUS AND PREPARING PEOPLE AND THEMSELVES TO A VICTORIOUS CHRISTIAN LIVING. YOU WILL ENJOY GROWTH IN THE SPIRIT; GROWTH IN YOUR CHRISTIAN LIFE AND PROGRESS IN YOUR BUSINESS. IN SHO
RT, SOMETHING GOOD IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO YOU. WE ARE SEEING PEOPLE WHO FELLOWSHIP WITH US, FIND NEW JOY AND PURPOSE IN THEIR LIVES AS THEY DISCOVER THE TRUTH OF THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST. I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT GOD IS GOING TO USE PEOPLE LIFE YOU TO DISMANTLE THE KINGDOM OF SATAN, IN YOUR LIFE, IN OUR NATION AND ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD. THERE IS AN OPEN DOOR FOR YOU AS A CHILD OF GOD WHATEVER YOUR DENOMINATION, YOUR BUSINESS, PROFESSION OR OCCUPATION, YOU CAN HELP CHANGE THE SPIRITUAL DESTINY OF THOUSANDS AS GOD IS GOING TO CHANGE YOUR OWN, AND YOU MAY BECOME A CO-LABOURER WITH CHRIST IN BRINGING INDIVIDUALS EVERYWHERE FROM DEATH TO ETERNAL LIFE. RIGHT NOW WE ARE PRAYING FOR MORE DISCIPLES, PEOPLE WHO YEARN TO BE USED OF GOD. WE ARE PRAYING THAT GOD WILL GIVE US PEOPLE JUST LIKE YOU WHO WILL GIVE THEIR TIME, TALENT AND WHAT THEY HAVE TO BRING THE LOST SOULS OF THE NATIONS TO JESUS WHILE IT IS NOT YET TOO LATE. IN BIBLE DAYS, GOD USED STICKS, STONES, CARMEL, FROGS, LIES, BIRDS AND EVEN A STAR IN THE SKY. GOD CAN ALSO USE YOU. “COME YE LET US WALK IN THE LIGHT OF THE LORD. ISAIAH 2:5. THEREFORE WE SAY “WELCOME TO THE FAMILY OF GOD." I SAID THIS PURPOSELY BECAUSE BECOMING A CHRISTIAN IS ACTUALLY “A NEW BIRTH” INTO GOD’S FAMILY! JUST AS WE BECOME MEMBERS OF OUR EARTHLY FAMILY ONLY BY NATURAL BIRTH, SO WE BECOME MEMBERS OF GOD’S FAMILY ONLY BY BEING BORN AGAIN BY THE POWER OF JESUS CHRIST. WHEN YOU INVITED JESUS CHRIST INTO YOUR HEART, YOU ACTUALLY RECEIVED A NEW LIFE. THE BIBLE SAYS “AS MANY AS RECEIVED HIM (JESUS) TO THEM HE GAVE THE RIGHT TO BECOME CHILDREN OF GOD, EVEN TO THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN HIS NAME: WHO WERE BORN, NOT OF BLOOD, NOR OF THE WILL OF THE FLESH, NOR OF THE WILL OF MAN, BUT OF GOD (JOHN 1:12, 13). THIS “NEW BIRTH IS ESSENTIAL FOR ENTRANCE INTO GOD’S FAMILY” JESUS SAID, “YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN.” IN FACT, HE SAID, “UNLESS ONE IS BORN ANEW, HE CANNOT SEE THE KINGDOM OF GOD” (JOHN 3:3, 7). IF WE ARE TO BE CHANGED, WE HAVE TO START LIFE ALL OVER AGAIN! WHAT GOD WANTS TO GIVE YOU IS NOT JUST FORGIVENESS FOR THE PAST AND A NEW SET OF RULES. HE WANTS TO GIVE YOU A NEW NATURE, NEW HEALTH, NEW DESIRES, NEW AMBITIONS – WHICH SUM UP WHAT IS CALLED A NEW LIFE, WHICH IS, IN FACT, A MEANINGFUL LIFE. JESUS SAID, “I CAME THAT THEY MAY HAVE LIFE, AND HAVE IT MORE ABUNDANTLY.” IF YOU HAVE LIVED A MODERATELY DECENT LIFE, YOU MAY BE TEMPTED TO THINK THAT YOU DON’T REALLY NEED A CHANGE, THAT YOU JUST NEED TO ADD A LITTLE BIT MORE RELIGION. YOU MIGHT THINK THAT ONLY THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN WICKED WOULD NEED TO BE BORN AGAIN.” BUT ACTUALLY, WHEN JESUS SAID, “YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN,” HE WAS SPEAKING TO A GOOD MAN – NICODEMAS THAT WHICH IS BORN OF THE FLESH IS FLESH AND THAT WHICH IS BORN OF SPIRIT IS SPIRIT” (JOHN 3:6) WHAT WE NEED IS NOT JUST A NEW EFFORT BY OUR FLESH, NOT JUST A RE-ORGANISATION OF OUR OLD LIFE, BUT AN INVASION OF GOD’S NEW LIFE FROM THE OUTSIDE. THIS NEW LIFE OF CHRIST BECOMES REAL TO US WHEN WE HEAR THE GOOD NEWS OF THE GOSPEL AND RECEIVE IT. JUST AS GOD REACHED INTO THE TOMB AND RAISED CHRIST, HE REACHES INTO OUR HEARTS AND RAISES US FROM SPIRITUAL DEATH TO SPIRITUAL LIFE. THE PREACHING OF THE GOSPEL IS SEED OF NEW LIFE WHICH GOD PLANT IN OUR HEARTS, (I PETER 1:3, 23,25) AS YOU LISTENED AND RESPONDED GOD’S WORD LIKE WATER, CLEANSED YOU FROM SIN, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT IMPLANTED IN YOU A NEW POWER TO PLEASE HIM. (JOHN 3:5) THE PROOF THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO YOU WILL BE AN INVERSION, A CHANGE IN THE DIRECTION OF YOUR LIFE. THE BIBLE SAYS, IF ANY ONE IS IN CHRIST, HE IS A NEW CREATION; THE OLD HAS PASSED AWAY, THE NEW HAS COME (2 CORINTHIANS 5:17). IT IS VERY TRUE THAT GOD HIDES TREASURES IN BED AS A PRIME MINISTER IN A PALACE. ONLY GOD CAN CAUSE SUCH A SWIFT OF STATUS. NO CASE IS TOO DESPERATE FOR GOD, THERE IS NO PROBLEM HE CANNOT OVERCOME. HOPE IN GOD CAN SEE YOU THOUGH YOUR GREATEST DIFFICULTIES AND MEET EVERY LONGING OF YOUR HEART. WE HAVE SEEN MIRACULOUS TRANSFORMATION IN THE LIVES AND BUSINESSES OF MEMBERS. WE ATTRIBUTE ALL THE TESTIMONIES TO THE FAITHFULNESS AND GLORY OF GOD. WE BELIEVE AS YOU HAVE IDENTIFIED WITH THIS MINISTRY, SUCH TRANSFORMATIONS AND MORE WILL BE YOUR PORTION THIS YEAR AND TILL JESUS COMES. HAS THIS HAPPENED TO YOU? WRITE AND LEST US KNOW OF YOUR PROGRESS IN THE NEW FAMILY. MAY GOD BLESS YOU. JOSHUA OKOROUDOH - GENERAL OVERSEER/PRESIDENTESS
