April 2008: Month of Miracles

Dearly beloved,

Hearty greetings and blessings with peace, joy and grace from our Lord Jesus the one whose name is also Wonderful (Is 9:6).

Our God is the one that doeth wonders (miracles) unspeakable in our lives and all around us. A miracle is that divine intervention of God in a situation or life that sets aside the laws of nature to enable the hand of God do the impossible in our lives. Such was the case when Sarah, Abraham's wife, conceived at 90years of age and bore a child for him at the age of 99years, at a time nature would have closed the chapter of childbearing (Gen 21:1-2).

The bible is full of all types of miracles such as:
• Lazarus raised from the dead (Jn 11:1-4)
• Water turned to wine (Jn 2:1-11)
• Man born blind, healed (Jn 9:1-7)
• Financial debt repayment (2Kg 4:1-7)

All these miracles came about through faith and trust of the people that God could intervene in their circumstances and they called on God (Rom 10:13) and He did it for them.

You too can trust God for your miracles this month, take a bold step of faith and God will reward you, (Heb 11:6) with the miracle you have been expecting. As He did for others, He will do for you too.

Shalom,
Pastor Chris Ogali

March 2008: Month of Mentorship

Pastor’s Easter Message

Dearly beloved,

Be blessed and highly favored in Jesus precious name.

God is calling us in this month to mentorship, for God was in Christ Jesus reconciling the world to Himself (2Cor 5:19).

Likewise, as believers and partakers of His divine nature (2Pet 1:4), we all have received the grace and anointing of God to be able to reach out and mentor the unreached by our lives, having been made a living sacrifice (Rom 12:4) of sweet savor to God to draw men to Jesus, by a testimony of good report to His glory.

May the joy and victory of Easter be our portion this month of mentoring as we comfort others with the same comfort that we have been comforted in Jesus Christ (2Cor 1:3-4) and bring them into the kingdom of God to be established in Him.

Shalom,
Pastor Chris Ogali

February 2008: Month of Salvation

Dearly beloved,
Welcome to the month of salvation. The Lord has spoken that He will save us this month. Jesus came to set the captives free, heal and deliver us and save us from eternal damnation in hell fire.

All that is required of the sinner is genuine repentance. The word of God has been sent to heal and deliver us (Ps 107:20) and when we believe all things are possible (Mk 9:23).

The Greek word soteria that translates in English as salvation, means deliverance, preservation, soundness, prosperity, happiness, rescue and general well being in this world and eternal life in the world to come.

Salvation could be used in both a material/temporal sense and in a spiritual/eternal sense. In Lk 19:9 when the Lord Jesus visited the home of Zaccheus, a well known fraudulent tax collector in town, who gave up his wicked ways when he met Jesus, the Lord told him “today salvation has come to this house.”

Zaccheus that day as he surrendered his life to Christ and restituted his evil ways, received his general well being and deliverance from the guilt of sin and wickedness of the past. His life changed instantly and he began to follow the path of the straight and narrow way (Matt 7:13-14) that leads to the kingdom of God, by the word of God (Jn 8:31-32).

You too can enjoy heaven on earth while preparing to make heaven in the end, by surrendering your life to Jesus Christ, living holy, regularly fellowshipping with other believers (Heb 10:25) in any bible believing church and knowing the word of God (1Pet 2:2) for growth in godliness.

Shalom,
Pastor Chris Ogali

JANUARY 2008:MONTH OF GLORY

Dearly beloved,

Happy New Year and greetings in the precious name of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ, the Alpha and Omega, the only one that can accomplish that which concerns us.

We welcome the Lord with us all to this great year of Open Heavens and New Beginnings.

The Lord has opened to us early of His good treasure the heavens and will pour His rain on our land and shall bless the work of our hands (Deut 28:12) this year in Jesus name.

It is surely a year of New beginnings and as we serve the Lord with gladness, He’ll give us the desires of our heart (Ps 37:5).

Beginning from this month of January ‘08, the month of glory, the glory of the Lord will surround us (Is 60:1). Though darkness may cover the earth, and deep darkness the people, the Lord will arise for His people– i.e you and I, and His glory will be seen upon us.

Those who laughed at you in the past will henceforth laugh with you and say this is the Lord’s doing and it is marvelous in our sight! Amen (Ps 118:23).

God bless you and have a wonderful year.

Shalom,
Pastor Chris Ogali

December 2007: Month of Great Power

Dearly beloved,

Grace and mercy be multiplied to you all in Jesus name as we celebrate this special season of the year, when we remember the coming of our Lord.

He came in humility, born in a lowly manger through supernatural conception and birth by the virgin Mary. All this the Lord was using to teach us in a sense, the great virtue of humility, sacrifice and love.

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life (Jn 3:16).

Therefore as we rejoice in the lowly birth of the King of kings and Lord of lords, let us remember that at His second coming, anytime soon, He will be coming triumphant riding on the sky, as the trumpet blows and only those who are pure at His coming will see Him and meet Him in the air, to reign forever with Him.

As we relish in this Christmas season of joy and merriment, let us remember to keep ourselves pure as His bride, with our lamps filled with oil and extra to spare, for the bridegroom cometh soon.

Merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous New Year.

Shalom,
Pastor Chris Ogali

November 2007: Month of Holiness

Dearly beloved,

Calvary greetings.

It is with a heart full of gratitude that I greet you all for your prayers, gifts, words of encouragement etc that you showered on me and my family, as you all joined me in celebrating, 60 years of God’s mercy and goodness.

You all overreached yourself in the outpouring of love and kindness. May the Almighty God who sees and knows, reward you all abundantly for your labor, love and gifts in Jesus name. May your joy be full all the days of your life, and may others celebrate you also.

This month of November ‘07, is the month of holiness, as the Lord has ordained. Therefore we all, by the grace of God, shall henceforth, prayerfully strive to “be holy in all of our conduct” (1Pet 1:15). God will help us (Phil 4:13) and wherever we are weak, His strength shall make perfect our weakness (2Cor 12:9).

Let us also spend quality time this month in praising and thanking God continually (Heb 13:15) for therein God is well pleased (Heb 13:15-16).


Shalom,
Pastor Chris Ogali
