God Loves you.
For God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten son that whosoever believes in him will not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16. " Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and i will give you rest. Take me yoke upon you and learn from me, for i am gentle and humble in heart, and will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." Matt 11:28 (NIV)

'That if you confess will your mouth "Jesus is Lord" and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and you are justified and it is with your mouth that you confessed and are saved' Rom 10:8-9 (NIV)

Topic: Building by Divine Influence

By:      Pastor Paul Akapo MD,USA

 

 

God is a builder of life, anything God is involved in is dynamic, and anything God is involved with carries the ability and the capacity of God.

God is coming to shape things around. God is raising a people of power, God is raising a people of praise, and is raising the people of purpose who know the purpose of their calling and keep it on, a people not to sit down and play with their God given resources or to use it for their own gain. God is raising a people of honour and glory. God is bringing an influence of the divine that when the influence of the almighty come upon you, the destiny that God has assigned to you by mandate is what you are going to execute.

 

 Anything God has not given to you will not have effect on you. Isaiah 58:12 –“ And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places…” There is something that you draw from the almighty that makes you different among other people.  When this influence happens in your life your life shall not be ordinary anymore, your prayer life shall be dynamic. The word of God in your life shall be powerful, that anything you do in your life shall carry the momentum of change, and you are not going to be like the chickens, pelicans. You are going to soar on your wings like an eagle.

 

7 Points by which Divine Influence can be built in our lives/Churches:

 
  1.  A Prophetic pulpit: that declares God’s mandate upon the dilapidation caused by the enemy. You must come by declaration, you must function under unction, and you must come as an oracle not as an orator.

We need almighty power upon the pulpit. When the pulpit is ignited the pew will be changed. An ignited pulpit will command an inspired pew. The first wall that we are going to repair under the influence of God is the prophetic pulpit.

If you want to build a church, build it prophetically. You are going to grow your church by the prophetic, not by murmuring. A prophetic pulpit is the carriage of the supernatural entrance into the physical. If we speak by faith, things will be built

 
  1. Celebration:  We must bring back celebration into the house of God i.e. hilarious praise and reverential worship. This is another spare part to bring back the influence of the almighty. Let people celebrate Jesus; the devil will not shut you down anymore. You must praise him in the morning, day and night. The people that God has made for himself, he made them for praise. That’s why David said, “ I will bless the Lord all the time, and his praise shall continually be in my mouth”. The praises of God’s celebration is dying down. People are disqualified for the next miracle because they are disconnected from the first one he has done for them. Every wall of praise shall be rebuilt.
 
  1. Bible Based Prayers: These are heaven-operating prayers. Life responds to prayers. Many are in the “Super room” organizing instead of us to be in the “upper room” agonising. Anything you put prayer into command the respect of heaven, anything you put prayer into brings about the possibility of the supernatural power. Anything saturated by prayer is saturated by God. We need to pray kingdom prayers, not clothes, cars, house prayers. When you put revelation into prayer based upon the word of God, you invoke authority that the enemy cannot challenge.
 
  1. Love, Unity ad Transparency: We must as a matter of urgency in the body of Christ, restore the environment of Love, unity, transparency and honesty. Too much hypocrisy is going on,  too much gang up is going on; too much title competitive rivalry is going on. It kills the anointing, it kills the flow. 

If we are expecting revival & rebuilding what we need is Love.

 

5.      Discipleship & Stewardship: If we are to see God’s influence to rebuild our broken walls we must build for discipleship & stewardship. Let us raise people for the kingdom, let us disciple them for the nation.

One of the walls that has broken down in the churches today is that we have members not disciples. We must begin to develop our church towards discipleship & stewardship.

  

6.      Evangelism & Missions: We must build people for evangelism and missions. Make sure you are involved in missions where nobody can say thank you.

 

7.      Apostolic Pattern of welfare: We have to get back to the apostolic pattern of welfare. We have become too individualistic. The apostles took care of one another. Apostolic sharing, apostolic welfare.

 

Jesus Christ is coming for a church that is balanced in all these seven structures.

 

To be able to bring these seven structures to work:

              I.      You must be a visionary. Without vision you will condemn people, without vision you will be a critic

           II.      You must be courageous and resolute-“I can do it”

         III.      Take spiritual welfare seriously- Nehemiah 2:3

        IV.      Be optimistic that you will finish well

           V.      Build a teamwork mentality

        VI.      Get busy in the right assignment

      VII.      Be goal oriented and get results

 Finally what will happen when we do all these is found in Psalm 122:7… “Peace be with him, and prosperity within their palaces”

  Topic: Rebuilding the Falling walls

By:      Rev. Judy Mayes , Kansas USA

Text: Nehemiah 3  

You cannot loose anything with God. He is a God of restoration.

Job lost everything and it was restored to him twice as much. We also have the hundred-fold return in the New Testament.

 

Most people complain they don’t hear God’s voice, but Jesus said his sheep know His voice.

Sometime we get so caught up in being successful, we get caught in being a successful mother, and we get caught up in being a successful Pastor, Bishop or businessman

 

And in wanting to be successful we don’t enjoy the goodness of the Lord.

God loves you so much when you mess up as well as when you don’t.

 

In John 17, Jesus said, “.. Father show them how much you love them as you love me”.

God is so good at rebuilding everything that is ruin. If we yield to Him, listen to His voice, read the word. Read the word like is a letter to you from God not like another sermon for you to preach.

 

We are going to miss that close wonderful growth and fellowship with God if we wont get quiet and look up to Him to just communicate to us instead of taking it as another sermon.

 

Nehemiah was supposed to rebuild the fallen walls of Jerusalem. Anytime you have a big project, the devil will come at you and use all sorts of devices like he did to Nehemiah-Nehemiah 3

 

If you are an Apostle, Pastor or whatever, your duty is to inspire the people, make them be the best like Nehemiah inspired his people.

If you are a mother or a father inspire your children.

We have to be the best God wants us to be. Everyone can only be fulfilled in his/her area of calling.

 

Everybody has a unique part in the ministry and God wants us to fulfill it. That’s the only way you can be happy.

 

If the word of God has the final authority in your life, you are a humble person.

 

If you allow sin to take over your life you will cut your life short.

With righteousness we can live longer.

      Topic: Leadership

By: Apostle Zilly Aggrey, Nigeria

Text: Lam. 1:12 

The greatest need of the world today is strategic leadership.

Right now the Christian world is distracted by so many fascinating things.

 

Moses went beyond knowing the acts of God to knowing the ways of God. The people cannot be patient to learn the ways of God. Many Christians want lightweight Christianity. They don’t want to go deep in the matters of God.

 

The greatest need of the world today is not more money, not more people. The world is looking for strategic leadership. Leaders that will lead this multitude-Matt.9: 36

 

The greatest inheritance a nation can give to its upcoming generation is to train leaders.

Churches are breaking up everyday because we have men in positions who are not leaders.

 

To possess the future we have to train leaders today.

 

There are ten critical components of leadership culled from the spelling of leadership.

 

1. Loving: If the church must change the world the church must train loving leaders. If the Pastor loves his people, the people are ready to go any length for him. Love is magnetic.

 The churches are looking for pastors who will love the congregation.

God is not looking for new preachers God is looking for leaders that will love the people.

 

2. Experienced: Paul told Timothy, don’t give responsibility to a novice.

The world is looking for experienced leaders. Not someone who can’t rule his home

 

3. Action: In Matt 26:52 an incident happened and Jesus Christ took action promptly. The price of delay is dangerous. Many churches have disintegrated because the leaders failed to take action promptly on a small gossip, or little issues.

 

4. Disciplined: If there is anything we need today, its discipline leaders. Discipline in finance, discipline in prayers, discipline in food, discipline in all areas.

 

5. Endurance: A leader must be enduring. -2 Tim 2:3-4

As a good soldier of the lord, a leader must be able to endure hardness. Leaders must endure scandals, blackmails, etc.

 

6. Respectful: 1 Tim5: 3, Paul wrote to Timothy on how to relate to the people, to treat them with respect.

 

7. Servant: the world is looking for leaders that will be servants.

 

8. Hopeful : In John 14:1-4, Jesus Christ gave His disciples hope. Leaders should give the people hope. You cannot stop a man or woman that has hope. We need to give the people hope. Tell the people of what God can do, tell them there is no disappointment with God, for with God we are moving forward.

Better days are coming, greater glory is coming. Tell the people God is with them, tell them what God can do.

Poor men can be made rich, dead business can be fruitful. Give the people hope that He can pick anybody from the miry clay and set their foot on the rock to stay.

 

9. Inspiring: In John 15, Jesus spoke to the disciple calling them friends. We need to inspire the people by relating to them.

Let us build relationship, not just fellowship. The people can do much more when you relate to them.

 

10. Principled: Don’t build on the people, build on principle Matt 7:24-end.

No church or nation should be built on sentiments, build on principles.

Principle works everywhere. When a man works with you by principle he abides, but when he works by sentiments, the day you touch his sensibilities he goes.

 

These are the laws or rather components of good leadership that the world and the church needs today in my own opinion to rebuild the falling walls of the individual life’s, society, the homes and the churches.

        Topic: Be a VoiceBy:      Dr. Ruth Reid, UK 

What God wants in this world are voices. Not tiny voices that say nothing, He needs voices.

You can’t just keep quiet.

If you are going to be a voice, you should be ready for criticisms.

 

Nehemiah was voice`. If you are going to be a voice you need to have the welfare of the people at heart.

It takes courage to be a voice. If you are going to be a voice, it’s not going to be easy.

We have to stop fishing in the small pond leaving out the ocean. If our voices must be heard we must extend beyond our immediate communities.

 

It’s not okay to just pray and pray without having a voice.

 

God did not bring you to this country to sit in your own little corner. You must reach the people of this land. They are desperate; there is nothing for them.

Be a voice for the people with courage.

 

God sent you here to be a light to the gentiles. We need to reach out to the lost. And the way to reach out to them is to be their voice.

We’ve got to provide an alternative, we’ve got to provide schools, we’ve got to provide hospitals.

 

We should not stop being heard because of persecution, persecution should stir us up to raise our voice more.

 

Be a voice to your nation.

 

   

Topic: By what Power do you do these?

By: Pastor Paul Akapo , MD USA

Text: Acts 4:1-9

 

In the text above we find big names with no achievement, they carry title but have lost the power.

They occupy Moses’ seat without Moses’ authority.

Don’t struggle to convince people. The people you get to your side by yourself, you will have to maintain them by your sweat. Let God change people.

Some of the frustration ministries carry is to receive validation from men. Don’t let the pew hijack the pulpit.

When you are under God, you are carrying an ambassadorial anointing that makes you to come with the creed and credence of heaven. You must be able to know the integrity of the word of God.

Elevate the scripture. Until you grow the word all sorts of things will grow in the church.

Ministry is not a place of failure. Peter succeeded, Abraham succeeded.

Until there is a prophetic declaration, there can never be a manifestation.

When the manifestation begins, they will begin to inquire, by what power have you done these things? As evident in Acts 4:7.

People will bow down where you are result oriented, you don’t need to demand respect, you command respect.

For you to be able to command a ministry that people will begin to inquire, by what power do you do these? The following must be present. 

1. Perception: Your perception will determine your placement and your placement will determine your ending. Never draw perception from circumstances, don’t draw perception from the failures of yesterday.

You must have perception i.e. you must be visionary, you must be futuristic. Every visionary see the superstructure of celebration of the future in the present.

2. Revelation of strategy. You must be strategizing, because God is the greatest strategist. Before the foundation of the world the lamb has been laid.

3. You must have substance of delivery: Go for substance, don’t go for a shadow. The word of God is substantial. Stories of men will produce dead results. Strive for excellence in the ministry.

4. You must have faith to declare things to existence.

5. Develop Confidence for Competence: Whatever you are doing today, if it is not working yet, be confident that very soon competence will come out of confidence.

6. Understand spiritual warfare in the ministry, if you don’t the devil will shut down your ministry. In this wise you must be a prayer warrior, you must know how to bind and loose. If you don’t the church will shut down.

You must engage in intercessory governmental prayer that has credibility in the prophetic.

Be confident that God will perform it–Phil 1:6, 1 Thess 5:24-“Faith is He that calleth you”. The church committee did not call you

As from today your life and ministry will warrant supernatural enquiry.

   Topic: Rebuilding the falling Walls.

By: Apostle Zilly Aggrey, PH Nigeria

Text: Acts 4: 8-10 

If we must rebuild the falling walls, we must know what power will enable us to rebuild and what name that will authorize us to rebuild.

                                                     There are five areas of the walls that have fallen that we must rebuild:

1. The falling wall of Faith:  Father Abraham did not go through all the challenges that we are going through today. People come to church without faith. Faith doesn’t come by watching television.

 

Without faith it is impossible to please God. We are in this work to please God.

It is time to rebuild the fallen wall of faith. Faith pleases God. When God get excited He can do anything.

Satan cannot stand faith when it comes to “ it is written”. Satan can’t stand it.

 

2. The falling wall of Power: We need to rebuild the fallen walls of power. Where is the power that started the church? We need to cry to God to send us the power. The walls of power have fallen down.

Satan cannot plot your destruction he can only plan your distraction, we are distracted by so many things. When we don’t read the bible or pray fervently where will the power come from?

We need to consecrate ourselves to God like the men of God did for power to come.

 

Let us consecrate ourselves and rebuild the fallen walls of power.

 

3. The falling wall of purity: We need to rebuild the fallen walls of purity. These days we have designed all kinds of fancy names to describe our sinful acts.

The greatest blessing we get out of purity is that when you are pure, you can hear God clearly. Impurity makes you not to hear God. -Psalm 18:26 “.. to the pure thou shall show thyself pure…” 

4. The falling wall of Prayer: There is nothing that releases the power of God like prayers. We need to rebuild this wall too.

 

5. The falling wall of Prosperity: This is another wall that has fallen but people think it is standing.

Satan knows the limitation of a poor church, that’s why the enemy uses all kinds of tricks and propaganda to intimidate the ministers from talking about money, because the devil knows if we have money the kingdom of hell is in trouble.

 

It takes prosperity to do so much to expand the kingdom.

Poverty cannot possess the future only prosperity can possess the future.

 

Topic: Rebuilding the falling falls

By:      Rev. Christopher Thevar 

If you are righteous Jesus did not come for you, but if you think you are sick, Jesus came for you.

When you trust in God, you can go anywhere, you can do anything. Do not depend on yourself, do not rely on your flesh.

 

If you know the Bible and you are not filled with the Holy Spirit, you are just a religious person.

Don’t let people tell you, you are too spiritual, don’t let them say to you, you are too holy, don’t let people cut you down.

 

In rebuilding the walls, we’ve got to break down the old walls of racism, backbiting, strife, and envy. - James 1:4, 1Pet 2:1, 2Cor 12:20.

Why do the people don’t want to come to church? Why do they shy away? Because they don’t see the love of God in us.

 

Let us break the old wall of backbiting, gossip and rebuild new walls of Love.

 

END.
