What you decide on will be done (Job 22:28); this is some of the words that God gave his people to conquer this year of 2023. This coming Sunday, the Lord, in his infinite goodness, is granting us the divine opportunity to follow the first service of a series of sermons titled “RECALIBRATION”. This will give us what we need to live this decreed year a “YEAR OF MULTIPLE HARVEST.”<\/p>\r\n\n\r\n
The Bible says: “For the weapons with which we fight are not carnal; but they are mighty, by the virtue of God, to pull down strongholds. . We overthrow reasonings and every height that rises up against the knowledge of God, and we bring every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ (2 Cor 10:4-5 KJV). Your manifold harvest depends on your obedience to Christ in spirit, soul and flesh…<\/p>\r\n\n\r\n
This Sunday, January 15th, the assembly was taught by the prophet Cyrille BANKOLE on the theme of recalibration. A great opportunity to go back to the basics before moving forward in the year.<\/p>\r\n\n\r\n
The great revelation he shared was about the Church which comes from the Greek word Ekklesia. This word means \u201cassembly\u201d (politics) and \u201cbeing called out\u201d. These people gathered with the purpose of deciding the destiny of the City.<\/p>\r\n\n\r\n
In Exodus 3: 1-10, the Lord chose to bring his people out of Egypt, out of slavery, and to bring them to a good land flowing with milk and honey. From being slaves, they left rich and influential. They were called \u201cout of Egypt\u201d to create an influential assembly that other peoples feared because the Lord was with them.<\/p>\r\n\n\r\n
There were \u201cEkklesia\u201d, Churches, before Jesus. But when He arrived He said in Matthew 16:18, \u201cI will build MY Church,\u201d MY Ekklesia.<\/p>\r\n\n\r\n
Each Ekklesia has Do\u2019s and don\u2019ts. The Ekklesia of God does not function like the Ekklesia of the world, it is not a democracy. It is addressed to:<\/p>\r\n\n\n\r\n
Those who gave their life to Jesus, the children of God (John 1: 12) who are a minority,<\/p>\r\n\n\r\n
Children of God who have a special status: they are rulers<\/p>\r\n\n\r\n
Chosen of God who seek\/hold the wealth of the country. When you are part of the Ekklesia of Jesus you walk with your head held high, you are not a common man<\/p>\r\n\n\n\r\n
Stop believing that you are weak and look at yourself as Jesus looks at you. Change your inferiority complex. You are in the minority but definitely not without strength. It is on this revelation that the foundation has been laid to bring us to a deep recalibration.<\/p>\r\n\n\r\n
This year, remember:<\/p>\r\n\n\n\r\n
Where did you come from?<\/p>\r\n\n\r\n
Which Ekklesia do you belong to: you are in the minority but not without strength, you are influential and you must be so in your environment (family, work, etc.)<\/p>\r\n\n\n\r\n
Surely Part 2 will take us into the depths of divine revelation.<\/p>\r\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
