AN EFFECTIVE AND PRODUCTIVE
CHURCH
Two people in agreement are far
more effective in bringing about change than 2000 people in disagreement,
Pastor Chris profoundly reveals in a teaching, healing and anointing service
that left everyone thanking and praising God last night.
The evening session of the International Partners’
Conference yesterday is one that will live in the memory of every delegate for
years to come. In line with the prophesies of the day before from our man of
God Pastor Chris that there will be so much unction available for the taking at
this Conference, he went ahead to bless the brethren with great words of
transformation and told them that their lives will never be the same again.
Pastor Chris, taking the podium immediately
after the Awards segment, commended the givers and informed the congregation
that, “We are participating in financial Partners Awards and we are all
winners”. According to him, “Without big and large giving we do not do much for
the kingdom; it takes a lot of faith to give a lot of money. God looks at the
faith, the joy, and the love we express when we give. Rejoice when others are
receiving awards; have the joy of participation. God wants us to take account
of what we’re doing and remind each other as we see the day
approaching. God’s Spirit is God’s answer. His answer is in Christ Jesus.”
He went on to say that the church needs to
come to a place of effectiveness and productivity – a place of mastery where we
are not victims of any kind.
Making reference to the book of Ephesians 1:
15-23, he noted that “God wants us to have insights and secrets about Jesus
Christ so we can live an overcoming life”. Jesus he said came to give us
the overcoming life. To that effect, “there is no such thing as being weak
except for a lack of knowledge and if you would take these things shown in the
Word and live by them, you’ll ride/live victoriously. We have resurrection
power at work in us, the same power which brought Jesus out of the grave and
set Him at God’s right hand FAR ABOVE all principalities and power and might and
dominion”.
On the power in the name of Jesus, which he
has taught about on several occasions, Pastor Chris admonished that, “Jesus is
far above all rule and authority and power and dominion. Jesus has the biggest
name. It’s been set like this forever and when it comes to using the name of
Jesus, it is a matter of authority. You don’t need faith, just like a policeman
doesn’t need faith to control traffic because he’s functioning under
authority”.
Pastor said that everything responds to the
name of Jesus. “What He speaks must be heard and obeyed by everything He speaks
to. Every government must hear Him. So as a Christian you can change things
because you are from the government from heaven.”
Using Ephesians 2: 1 as a plank, our man of
God speaking to the congregation noted that, “…because Jesus has made me alive
and I’m alive, life works in me”. He emphatically told the Partners that
because of their connection with the divine life they are beyond human
destruction, “no one can kill you,” he said. Addressing the brethren further he
said that there is a consciousness that God wants us to have because of what
Jesus did so that we live our lives like someone who has His life –
victoriously.
Because Jesus thought I was important to the
Father, that’s why He came, “so refuse to be defeated! God has raised us up
together with Jesus and made us sit together with Him in heavenly places. God’s
kingdom is in us, when we show up, God shows up and we’re changing things
everywhere!”
On the effectiveness of the Church, Pastor,
using the book of Matthew 18-19 said that the smallest church can make impact
anywhere. Warning the brethren against neglecting the power that they have in
them, “many can be praying without agreement and nothing happens but with the
prayer of agreement things can be turned around. This is how we are going to
change the nations”, he said to a congregation already wild in jubilation.
According to Pastor, it is like in the days
of Sodom and Gomorra, “we can invite angels to parade our cities to halt evil
activities in the place by the prayer of agreement”. Pastor made a very
profound statement on the power of agreement saying that to effect a change no
matter how tough, it only requires two people. “Two people in agreement are
greater than 2000 people in disagreement”. Continuing, he told the congregants
that, “…you’re going to use the prayer of agreement and when you get the
testimony, share it. With your testimonies, you keep the devil in fear.”
The rest of the session was awesome as the
man of God continued to release Words of power, transforming the lives of all
present. Before the meeting was over, the demonstration of the Spirit and power
was experienced, spiritual gifts were distributed, cancers were destroyed and
every one left the auditorium with joy unspeakable and full of glory.
