September 2009: Month of Multiplication

Beloved,

Grace and peace of our Lord Jesus be unto you all in Jesus name.

We thank God for His power that came by the Holy Spirit upon us who have continued to tarry in the place of prayer, since last month and we give all the glory to God Almighty for the miracles, signs and wonders following all who believe. (Acts 1:8 & Mk 16:17-18).

By the working of His mighty power in us all who believe, God will multiply us this month exceedingly, abundantly above our imagination in Jesus name (Eph 3:20). Our multiplication shall not only be numerical, but also financial, spiritual and in all that pertaineth to life and godliness (2Pet 1:3).

Let us therefore, be ready to share with all our neighbors, friends and whosoever, the love of the Lord Jesus, who has called us with a holy calling and has promised to be with us withersoever we go. He will not leave us nor forsake us (Heb 13:5).

Therefore, let us prayerfully reach out to others and bear good fruits for the kingdom of God.

Occupy until He comes (Lk 19:13).

Shalom,

Pastor Chris Ogali

August 2009: Month of Power

Brethren,

Blessings to you from the God who does wonders, Jesus Christ our Lord.

When He was about to ascend into heaven, the Lord Jesus Christ assured the apostles of power transfer to them (Matt 28:18-20), to enable them continue the good work of the kingdom of heaven, He had come to the earth to jump start.

However, the early apostles were not to start work until they had received power from on high, by the in filling of the Holy Spirit. So they obeyed (Lk 24:49), by assembling together in Jerusalem (Acts 1:8) in prayer till the divine visitation, at Pentecost (Acts 2:2-4). Thus heralded the advent of the church of Jesus Christ with power.

This power to do good, is coming more abundantly to us this month, and just as God anointed Jesus Christ of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power (Acts 10:38) and He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, God will use each and everyone of us, who believe, to be faithful witnesses wherever we go in Jesus Name.

Let us remember, the following conditions for receiving this power of the Almighty God– we must be born-again, live holy, belong to a bible believing church where we assemble with other believers to pray, worship, serve etc.

On a personal level, pray for God’s power this month and He’ll make you a good witness by the Holy Spirit henceforth.

Shalom,

Pastor Chris Ogali

July 2009: Month of Miracles

Beloved,

Greetings in the matchless name of Jesus Christ our Savior, the one whose name is Miracles (Wonderful)- Isa 9:16.

God never told us that miracles (God’s divine intervention in the affairs of men) were only for old bible days. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever (Heb 13:8).

Therefore the one who walked on the water, raised the dead, healed diseases, born of a virgin, died and rose again from the dead, if He is your God, He is still here, by His spirit to do the same miracles in our lives.

So believe God (Matt 19:26) for your miracles this month, in whatever area of life you need God’s intervention (miracle). I join faith with you in prayer for that miracle.

Ask until your joy be full (Jn 16:24).

Shalom,

Pastor Chris Ogali

June 2009: Month of Revival

Beloved of the Lord,

May the peace and love and joy of our Lord Jesus Christ continue to abound in you more and more in Jesus name.

Ever so often we need to evaluate/examine ourselves to ensure we are still in the faith (2 Cor 13:5). Thus the need for periodic revival and recharging of our spiritual battery.

Our battery must always be so fully charged that we are quick to respond to the challenges of the adversary, cash in on opportunities as the Holy Spirit exposes them to us and ensure the agape love of God in us is hot (Matt 24:12) etc.

Therefore a month of revival such as the Lord has opened to us this June 2009, the mid point of the year of bliss, is a good opportunity to gas up our spiritual tanks and recharge our spiritual batteries. This we do by genuine repentance for sins, prayer and fasting, regular reading of the word of God, more praise and worship and a return to regular fellowship with other believers in our churches (Sundays & weekdays) Heb 10:25.

By so doing, we will reach our goals temporal and eternal, through Christ Jesus our Lord.

Shalom,

Pastor Chris Ogali

May 2009: Month of Love

Beloved in Christ Jesus,


The new month of May 2009 with us is our month of Love. It’s an all-love month, during which we shall showcase the agape love of God shed in our hearts by the Holy Spirit (Romans 5:5).

God wants us all to provoke one another with love (Hebrews 10:24) and because perfect love casteth away fear (1 John 4:18), when we walk in love, God will perfect that which concerns us (Psalms 138:8).

The grace to walk in the agape love of God shall be multiplied to us this month in Jesus Name.

Let us therefore that are of Christ, walk diligently, in the agape love of God, which is the greatest gift God has given us. (1 Corinthians 13: 1-13)

Have a wonderful month of May. Love and be loveable.


Shalom,

Pastor Chris Ogali

April 2009: Month to Occupy Until Jesus Comes

Beloved brethren in the Lord Jesus,

Greetings and grace be multiplied to you all in Jesus name.

The good old saying goes that “when the going gets tough the tough get going.” This could not be more apt than in these tough economic times, but we all know that our God, the toughest, the Almighty whose sons and daughters we are, certainly will get going by His grace.

The Master has called us all with a holy calling (2Tim 1:9) to occupy until He comes (Luke 19:13).

In this fourth month of the year of bliss we shall surely by His grace “do business” (occupy) physically, academically, spiritually, financially etc until He comes.

By His grace we shall overcome the afflictors and persecutor (the devil) in every sphere that he may try to come against us for the spirit of God will fight for us and lift up a standard (Is 59:19) against the enemy.

Let us spend and be spent for the spread of the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ as we take our cities and communities for Jesus (Matt 28:19) for the coming of the Lord is nigh.

Fight the good fight of faith but hold on to eternal life (1Tim 6:12).

Let us uphold one another in these times and may the Lord bless and keep us while we occupy till He comes.

Shalom,

Pastor Chris Ogali

March 2009: Month of Praise

Beloved in the Lord,

Greetings in the precious name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and blessings to you all. Whatever the weather, economy or the news media may be saying at this time, our God says it is well. You will reach your goal, whether the devil likes it or not.

It is in times like these that we must make sure that our anchor is holding firm (Heb 6:18-19) on Christ the Solid Rock. Yes the wind may blow and the storms may rage, but because our sure foundation (Matt 7:24-25) is the Rock of Ages, Jesus Christ of Nazareth, (Matt 6:18), we shall not be moved (Ps 125:1).

What better way to show our trust in God than to enthrone Him in our praises (Ps 22:3) this month and henceforth.

The apostle Paul and his prison mate, Silas, understood this enemy-devastating principle by praising God in their prison cell, at midnight, when most others were moaning and whining in despair. The bible said in Acts 16:25, that the prayers and praise of Paul and Silas in prison was so intense, that heaven heard them, fellow prisoners also heard them and God sent an earthquake that shook open the prison doors and everyone’s bands/chains were loosed.

In these times of despair and anxiety, as we praise God, He’ll send an earthquake solution that will shake away the trouble of the enemy and shake in the supernatural solution of God to our situation in Jesus Name.

Praise God with all your heart this month and henceforth and I prophesy a turn around for the better for you in Jesus name. Please remember to join all other brethren in church to fellowship and get the best of God’s presence.

Shalom,

Pastor Chris Ogali
