SECTION OF MINISTRATIONS
Before you sit down, walk up to three (3) People and tell him/her: “E ku ise Oluwa” (Well done for doing God’s work) – The Lord will be your Strength.
Do you know that since some of us has been working for God, Nobody had ever encouraged us?
No matter what you do, Nobody sees it?
And that can break us down.
Just go ahead and encourage Somebody – Even if you can give that Fellow Cash or ask the Fellow for his/her Bank Account Number.
Please be seated!
I know that my time is very Limited but I will try as much as Possible to touch some areas.
Transformed for Kingdom Impact!
1 Peter 2:9 – But ye are a Chosen Generation, a Royal Priesthood, an Holy Nation, a Peculiar People; that ye should shew forth the Praises of him who hath called you out of Darkness into His Marvellous Light.
In Acts 9:1; we read about the Story of Apostle Paul when he was still called Saul; who was going about killing People.
That day, God Himself encountered him and He turned things around for him – He transformed Saul and he became Apostle Paul.
Apostle Paul who happened to be a Notorious Man; on a Single day – He encountered God:
☆ God spoke to him and he spoke to God.
☆ He saw a Greater Light.
The People around him can hear the voice but they couldn’t see – Transformation!
I want to Pray for everyone of you: God will speak to you and you will hear God – Amen!
Because the things of the Spirit and the things of Impact is a Place where:
☆ God has impacted you.
☆ God has Energised you.
☆ God has taken you from Natural to Supernatural.
That is what makes us Christian Ministers, Pastors, Evangelists, Ushers, Choirs etc.
As a Child of God, we have been Transformed to make difference in this world.
When He told the Apostles that you will receive Power after the Holy Ghost has come over you – It is filled with Witnessing with Impact.
So we have been Redeemed, Empowered and Graced to have Impact – Only if you can understand the weight of the Impact that you are carrying.
The most serious aspect of Life is for you to carry Power and don’t know you have the Power.
Do you know that when the Bible says: “Arise and Shine”; its another Message for us.
Arise because you have Power – You have been empowered and made hyper Personality.
Transformation means that you are Equipped with Power.
In 2 Corinthians 12:9, the Bible says: And He said unto me that my Grace is sufficient for thee; for my Strength is made Perfect in thee.
You are weak without the Power of God but you are Strong and Powerful with the Grace of God.
SONG
NOT BY MIGHT
By Almeda Herrick
“Not by Might,
not by Pow’r,
but by my Spirit,” saith the Lord of Hosts.
“Not by Might,
not by Pow’r,
but by my Spirit,” saith the Lord.
This Mountain shall be removed;
This Mountain shall be removed,
This Mountain shall be removed –
“By My Spirit,” saith the Lord.
In my own way, I have Ministered in several Places – First as a Youth Pastor, Second as a Youth Evangelist in the North and now as Assistant Pastor in Charge of Province
The day that you made up your Mind not to Minister is the day they will beckon on you.
But the day that you have Prepared – Writren out your Grammar, Volcabulary, iron your Clothes – That day, no way.
Until you say: Jesus, where you need me to come in; I will come in and just take over.
He needs you in the Kingdom.
Why not another Person? He needs you.
Some of us are Pastoring over a Church of fifteen (15) Members and we kept complaining of not being many. They are looking at us and not helping us.
God is looking at you and saying: “I want to make you from there”.
I started Pastoring with four (4) Workers.
We are even nice today to be telling you before they Transfer you.
You will now be saying No and giving Excuses.
Before a Member of the Choir will go to a New Parish, the Everlasting Arm of God will have to Intervene.
I was sitting in the Choir that day when they said that the Parish Pastor of this Place is Sister Jumoke and to be assisted by Dele – And I started crying.
But here we are Today – I don’t know why I’m saying this: Stop complaining. Province did not even care as they just left us alone.
Why not just Pray to God?
Be Encouraged!
God gave John the Baptist an Assignment in the Wilderness and he was making Impacts.
Even Jesus Christ went there to meet him.
God knows your Capacity and He knows your Limits.
You can’t Preach every Messages – You can only Preach the one that God has called you for.
Don’t complain that this is the only thing that my Pastor Preaches – That is the Capacity that he was given.
And if you don’t stay under his Ministrations, you can’t get the Blessings.
And if you as a Person is serious with the Capacity God has given you, He will even turn it to two.
There is a Senior Pastor that I know in this Mission – He cannot Preach a Complete Message but this Man, any family that has scattered and everybody had given up on them; bring them to this Baba and he will align them back.
That is his Calling.
And the Mission now knows it – Anything in Marriage issues, they sent it to him and he will solve it,
Philippians 4:13 says: “I cam do all things through Christ who Strengthens me”.
☆ I can do Choir Rehearsals without complaining through Christ that Strengthens me.
☆ I can go to Sunday School Class Review without complaining through Christ that Strengthens me.
Daddy Pastor, you have given Somebody to take the Digging Deep and he says Yes sir. And then you come to Church, you didn’t see him.
You will just pick your Bible and take over.
I have a Brother like that always giving Excuses.
He later went to a Church in Oshogbo and requested that I should recommend him.
I simply told him that I cannot recommend him – He is always complaining and makes the Heart of the Pastor bleeds.
Pastors have their Favourites – If you don’t believed it, then leave it.
People that you know that they will be in Church and so you put them in Position.
They will say: Pastor have Favourites!
You too become Pastor’s Favourites.
It makes our Hearts bleeds when you are not Committed – You are always complaining.
It is only the day that they want to Show Off that they will sit in the front.
Paul says that I can do all things – But you cannot do anything.
Elijah as Powerful as he was Pass through Jericho and could not do anything.
But the moment that Elisha got the Double Portion Mantle and he was coming back, they said sir wait; the Source of this City is faulty.
What Elijah cannot do, Elisha did it.
It was even recorded that Elisha did double the Miracles that Elijah did – All because he carries Capacity.
1 Samuel 22: 1-4 – Talking about Israel and talking about Impacts:
1 Samuel 22:1-4:
- David therefore departed thence, and escaped to the cave Adullam: and when his Brethren and all his father’s house heard it, they went down thither to him.
- And every one that was in distress, and every one that was in debt, and every one that was discontented, gathered themselves unto him; and he became a Captain over them: and there were with him about four hundred men.
- And David went thence to Mizpeh of Moab: and he said unto the King of Moab, Let my father and my mother, I Pray thee, come forth, and be with you, till I know what God will do for me.
- And he brought them before the King of Moab: and they dwelt with him all the while that David was in the hold.
How many People? Four Hundred (400) Men.
If you have four hundred (400) Members today, then you are a 4-Star General in RCCG according to the Mandate of Vision 2032.
Can I Pray for you – You will carry Multiple Stars.
These are the Members of David’s first Church.
And the Bible says that He became Captain over them – Meaning that he influenced their lives.
Go and Study 1 Samuel Chapters 25 and 26, these People became Great Mighty Men that will fight and do anything for David.
Infact there was a day that David said that he wanted to drink water from a Particular Well – They said that they will go.
So they carry bucket and their War Instruments and they went and brought the water.
When David saw the water, he thought that this is blood and not water.
That’s why some of us Leaders – If anyone goes an Extra mile to help us, let us appreciate them.
Those People went for David because David had went for them.
We will depart from here and will come back – The way you relate with me will determine whether we will relate back.
Some of us behave as if I am just in my Parish and want to be left alone.
The RCCG is the Best Place that you can Minister – It gives you Privilege and Grace without any hindrance or restrictions.
In some Ministries, you will Prepare your Sermon and send it to your Superior Pastor to vet.
They will look at it – God will help you, anyone that they underlined you dare not say it.
That is why in some Churches, they Preach as if they are reading because Bishop will still listen.
But in RCCG, you can Preach in any Service and Nobody will bother you.
Why are you now worried when God has given you the Capacity to grow?
Daddy and Mummy, I hope with this few words of mine today, that you are back to Bethel.
