ICLC Day 1

Pastor Gbenga Ayodele — Sat, 25 Jun 2011 05:49:10 +0000

ICLC Day 1 with Pastor Chris. ————————I want to welcome you all from around the world. It is our first International Cell Leaders Conference, and we also have those joining us from our churches and viewing centers via the internet from across the globe.Starting tonight, through tomorrow morning and evening; and then through saturday, we’d be learning God’s word that would equip us and launch us into another level of leadership and ministry. These meetings will change you forever, that I can assure you.. Jesus Christ came to this world and died almost two thousand years ago, and yet many still don’t know about him. Some have only heard stories about him; some people think it was just a story – about Jesus death, burial and ressurection. Oh! It was no story! The first question you ask is, who is Jesus? Who is He. He is the Son of God, but how is Jesus God’s Son? And who is God? The Bible says God is a Spirit. The One who pre-existed the
beginning, He was there before all creation! Anyone who pre-existed the begining of all creation must be God! He’s got to be! The Bible says in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. He’s called the self existent One. This all creating God declared Jesus to be His son by the resurrection from the dead. He proved and verified the life and ministry of Jesus to everyone. He raised Him from the dead. His death and ressurection were no secret in His day. He walked the streets after His ressurection and people saw him.No one ever came out of death by himself, having been buried. If Jesus were dead, His name would have no power, but he said those who believe in Him shall cast out devils in His name, shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover, they shall speak in new tongues, if they take any deadly drink it shall not hurt them. And all of these have been true till today. The consistency in the character of believers for generations is
another prove that Jesus must be God. I find it difficult not to believe in him. Anyone would be mischievous to think that the claims about Jesus were fabrications. Therefore we must tell the untold,we must reach the unreached. Thank God for the testimonies in our lives, but it is not enough to experience this glorious life without the motivation to share it with others, therefore we must share it with them. He has given us his life, but what have you given in return? Your life as well is what He expects from you and nothing less. That is why he says to take up your cross and follow him. That means to die on it, to die to your self – to your own concerns. He doesn’t like selfishness. That is why He says for us to cast our cares upon Him for He cares.Jesus says: I am the way the truth and the life. He is the origin of life, the essence of living is derived from Him. The bible says by him all things consist. Jesus is seated on the throne of his Father and
the Father is seated inside Him. If you stand before the throne of God, you would see Jesus seated on it and not the Father. He is the son of God, but co-equal with God. We are leaders of other people who have given their hearts to Christ, isn’t it wonderful? Whether you have a cell of five members, twenty five members or a hundred members, we all are important.Each one of us is important to God. God loves you personally. Say this with me: God loves me personally, He loves me specially. He knows my name, He knows my address, He knows everything about me. That’s because I’m important. God wants you to think and talk like that. When you think like that you would have answers for important issues. Only VIPs discuss important issues. Say: ”I’m a VIP. I’m serious minded. I think like an important person, I think important thoughts, I think important matters, kingdom matters.” My first cell meeting was when I was 11yrs old, and I held my 1st crusade at 15.I
went preaching the Gospel from house to house, from street to street. I felt and still do today, that the whole world has got to hear it. I preached to the sick in the hospitals, I preached when it was easy and when it was difficult. So I said to you, leading God’s people whether many or few is so important to God; it is not something to be taken lightly. Think about the potentials in us, how many more people we can all reach together. The saints are given the work of the ministry, and the different ministries such as that of the pastors and apostles are meant for strengthening the saints to do that work given to them. Each one of us has that ministry. I can help a cell leader become more effective with his ministry. That is because, when Jesus saves you, He makes you become his partner in saving others as well. We are His witnesses to the world. The principle is that we are disciples so as to disciple others. I can’t keep the message to myself, I have
got to share it with someone else. We’ve got be there to help build their faith – to shape their path. Growing up as a young christian, there were those God put in my way to help build my faith, to help me pray. We’ve got to do the same for others as well. Over the years I’ve been tremedously blessed by tracts, tapes, books and several other materials from different ministers. How could I have all that and then be quiet? So I got to do the same for others. You are not blessed for receiving from others or for God blessing you. No. You are blessed for what you put into the kingdom and what you put into others. But I want to be able to say before the Master; Lord, for all that I received, here’s what I did with it. And then He says well done thou good and faithful servant. We shouldn’t live our lives all for nothing, but live a life that is based on fulfilling the desires of the Lord. And so with that, again I welcome Ɣ☺u to this International Cell
Leaders conference. Would you thank him now? Amen. Open your mouth and pray……..

Pastor Gbenga Ayodele — Mon, 06 Jun 2011 15:21:00 +0000

Welcome to this special program, this special month of June, one in which we’d be engaging together in several spiritual activities.

PASTORCHRISLIVE SESSION:

1. Is it wrong to seek spiritual healing or deliverance from a man of God apart from your pastor?
It is dangerous to do so especially if you are looking at this from the standpoint of an inability of your pastor, so because you may just go in the wrong direction.
Get the matter to your pastor first to counsel you, because you might not have the spiritual maturity to make that decision by yourself. He may then tell that he knows another minister who is gifted in a such and such who may be able to help you.

2. The difference between dreams, visions, and revelations.
A dream is a series of emotional activities in your sleep. A dream from God is one based on His word.
I dealt extensively on dreams on our website: pastorchrisonline.org.
Dreams or visions could also be revelations.

Visions have different degrees:
-inner visions,
-outer visions or,
-open visions..

3. Are there unconditional prophecies? Can they be changed?

They are those that have to do with God’s own time-table.
But every personal prophecy can be changed. If you’re not comfortable about it you can change it, because he gave us the right to.
E.g. Hezekiah. God sent the prophet to instruct him to put his house in order because he was going to die! A death sentence was passed on by God! But the bible says he turned his face toward the and prayed. He told God that only the living can praise Him and that the dead cannot. Of what good was he to God dead? He asked. The Lord heard his prayers and added more years unto Hezekiah’s life.
He gave us the right to negotiate with Him on personal prophesies that don’t favour us and change them..

4. Does luck exist? Should Christians believe in it?
Empathic no. It depicts the arena of chance, and it is of the devil because it denies you the opportunity of walking by faith: you accept whatever happens to as good luck or bad luck. But every child of God must walk by faith! Not in the arena of luck. Luck came from Lucifer. God wants us blessed and not walk in luck. We must learn to take charge of our lives through the word of God and by faith, rather than depend on luck.

PRAYER NETWORK ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATIONS:

A year ago God asked me to lead His children in prayers; by sending out prayer points through the internet for them to pray. I thought it would be only for that month. But by the of that month God asked us to continue, we did and it was an amazing experience.
We started out on Twitter initially, then we chose six months later to start out our own social networking site: Yookos. It has been a most tremendous experience with well over two million followers in just 3months.
It is undergoing expansion right now to accommodate more usage.
Watch out also for Yookos 2 as well.
So many thanks to so many of you who have worked so tirelessly in the past one year.
The whole month of June is declared our month of celebration. We would share lots and lots of testimonies at this anniversary time.

MESSAGE FOR THE MONTH OF JUNE.

What is the Lord saying unto us in this month?

Luke 22:41-43.

41 And He was withdrawn from them about a stone’s throw, and He knelt down and prayed, 42 saying, “Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done.” 43 Then an angel appeared to Him from heaven, strengthening Him.

1Kings 19:7-8
7 And the angel of the LORD came back the second time, and touched him, and said, “Arise and eat, because the journey is too great for you.” 8 So he arose, and ate and drank; and he went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights as far as Horeb, the mountain of God.

Elijah was going somewhere, even though he was running from Jezebel, he was being lead by God. Sinai is one of the summits of Horeb, a mountainous expanse of land.

Revelations 3:2.
Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die, for I have not found your works perfect before God.

This month of June is a month of Strengthening.

The 1st scripture shows the Lord Jesus being strengthened after He had prayed: it was by the Holy Spirit. The food Elijah fed on in 1 kings is the word of God.
Like Jesus, when we pray we shall also be strengthened. And this is exactly what we require; to be strengthened by God.

But then we also bear the responsibility keeping ourselves in the strength of God all the time.
Whatever talents and gifts of God in your life, you need to strengthen them if they have become weak. You need to strengthen yourself in prayer, strengthen yourself in the study of God’s word, strengthen yourself in evangelism and soul-winning. Hallelujah.
Whatever area of your life that’s been weakened by negligence it is time for you to strengthen it now.
As we get strengthened by God’s word and the Spirit of God, it is our responsibility to strengthen those weakened areas of our lives and ministry.

Pray now that you’re going to be strengthened in various areas of your life: every time you study His word, every time you pray. Pray now. Hallelujah.

THE COMMUNION:

At this time you get up from where you are seated and approach the table nearest to you where the bread is, pick yours and hold it until I give the instructions.

1 Corinthians 11: 23-24.
23 For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; 24 and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.

Go ahead and break it now.

25 In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying,

“This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.” 26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes.

We thank you Father for the blood of your Son Jesus that was shed for us for the remission of sins. We thank you for the forgiveness of sins in that we have in that blood.

You will proceed to the stand closest to you, take that cup, drink it and return to your seat.

That cup is a point of contact, every sickness, disease and infirmity is washed away.
It is our oneness with the Lord, every barrier against you is shattered, nothing can limit you, nothing can withstand you.

Proceed now and take the cup.

Get on that website and write your own testimony of salvation and the testimony of someone else you know.

Grace and peace be multiplied unto you always……

IF YOU’RE BORN AGAIN, THEN YOU ARE A VICTOR IN CHRIST JESUS!
SO KEEP WINNING AND KEEP SHINNING!
GOD BLESS YOU.

OPENING

This is a very special month – the month of March, and we’d begin tonight by reading from 1 Corinthians 11:23 – 29.

23For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:

24And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.

25After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, this cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.

26For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till he come.

27Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. 28But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.

29For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body.

It’s our Communion Service tonight in which we’d be breaking break, just as the Lord Jesus said for us to do in remembrance of him.

And in the early church they did a lot of this too:

Acts 2:42.

And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.

The brethren continued steadfastly in the doctrine of the apostles, frequently, regularly, and walking in the light of the apostles’ teachings – “in breaking of bread and in fellowship”, the Bible says.

What we are doing right now is fellowship because we are doing this regularly and together.

We pray together also, like we do when I send the prayer points on Yookos for us to pray together. We pray in one spirit and in the spirit.

THE BREAKING OF BREAD

We would go ahead to break bread right now. So take your bread, hold it in your hands, and wait for the instruction for us to break it together.

Remember He said, in the 28^th verse, let every man examine himself. Why? Verse 27 says: whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.

Notice he didn’t say being unworthy, but unworthily, meaning in a manner unworthy of the body of Christ, unworthy of the body of Christ. He’s instructing us to do it reverently.

Because the communion is a demonstration of your faith in the body of Jesus Christ and what he has done for us.

Colossians 1:12-13.

12Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet (qualified us) to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:

13Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:

He has qualified us.

So he’s made us worthy and we should be grateful and thankful. He qualified us by himself. So you don’t need to try to qualify by yourself, and that’s the reason you can take the communion today.

Sometimes Satan can get into your mind to tell to you something different and try to confuse you. He could accuse you of doing something wrong and tell you that you are unworthy of the communion because of the wrong you did. That’s not true. If you do something wrong, acknowledge it and then accept his forgiveness.

So you take that bread and say:

“Father in the name of Jesus I belong to you and I thank because you have made me worthy. I also thank you for making me a new creation. Lord, I thank you for the blood of your Son Jesus shed for me and his body that was broken me

The chastisement for my sins was laid upon him and with his stripes I was healed. That’s remarkable, and it’s because as you eat it you are eating health intro your body.

Break it, and eat now.

Choir ministrations begin as the congregation break and eat their bread.

THE CUP

In the same manner, he says, he also took the cup, when he had supped, saying; this cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.

You’d move from your seat to the stand closest to you, where you’d take the drink.

As you proceed, have it in your heart that strength has come into your body today; and also remember our oneness with the Lord Jesus. Because he brought us life which we have received, and now we have it in every fiber of our being.

As you drink it, nothing of Satan remains in you. Never accept the accusations of the devil.

Go to that stand and take the cup and drink it now.

Father we take the cup and drink in remembrance of the blood that was shed, and for the oneness that we share with Christ in the name of Jesus.

TALK SHOW ON NIGHT OF BLISS SOUTH AFRICA

I welcome you to this special and very important segment. We’d talk about our Night of Bliss on the 11^th of March. We are walking in the calendar of God, walking in his steps.

Night of Bliss is not just a cliché it’s a name that best describes the plan of God for the program.

On set with me are some of our senior pastors:

v Reverend Tom Amenkheinan,

v Evangelist Eddie Owase,

v Reverend Ray Okocha,

v Pastor Ose Oyakhilome.

Evangelist Owase:

Night of Bliss is a set time by God to bless – it is a time to answer the prayer of many. They have cried to God for a long time, and God has set this time to bring the solution to people, because it is the last hope for many.

Just like when Phillip brought the gospel to Samaria because it was the set time for Samaria.

Reverend Chris:

It is a set time! That’s wonderful. We are not here because there are no other ministers; it’s in fact because of them that we are able to come preach in South Africa. But you know we are all gifted differently. So, God has anointed us for something special which we have brought to this nation.

God blesses men through other men. He blessed all the nations of the world through Abraham. He sent Jesus in the form of a man to the whole of mankind.

So don’t let it be a surprise when we say God sent us. He sends men, and there are necessary credentials with which to know. Just like when John sent his disciples to ask Jesus, if he was the Messiah they had been waiting for or should they expect another. And Jesus responded by sending a message back to tell John that the blind receive sight, the deaf hear, the dumb speak and the lame walk. These were the same credentials for Jesus Christ, and which we also present today.

And remember, no man can do these things except God be with him.

Thank God he made his presence available to us through his word. Just like he did in the bible days, otherwise we would have been lost today without the power and presence of God in demonstration.

I’m so glad to have the opportunity to bless you.

Reverend Tom.

It’s an all night long experience with God, because you don’t want to leave, just like the apostles felt with Jesus at the mount of transfiguration. At Night of Bliss the whole arena would be filled with presence of God, and there would be miracles everywhere.

Reverend Chris:

There’s just no way to describe the experience. But what’s your role? How should you prepare?

Now, let me quickly say this: the stadium cannot take everyone. And so we have made tickets available. Please don’t waste the tickets. Only those who have tickets should come to the stadium, and we are also making arrangements for those who do not have tickets.

For example our churches would be open for you to be able to participate. And the information would be available on the website.

So whatever your expectations are God would be able to meet them.

What are the expectations?

Pastor Ose:

The expectations are high and people are so excited. The people can’t wait for that day to come. They have their Night of Bliss chest tags with them everywhere they go. There are already numerous testimonies of people receiving their healings from amongst those who have accepted our invitations for the Night of Bliss.

Reverend Chris:

The anointing has gone ahead of us.

Evangelist Owase:

It’s the same testimony from previous Night of Bliss programs in: Benin, Port Harcourt, Aba, etc – people receiving miracles and getting healed by making contact with the chest tags.

It’s a time of the spirit, a time of solution and God has brought an answer to everyone.

Reverend Chris:

That night also, we’d take time to pray for the people and nations of Southern Africa. Something special is bound to happen.

Rev Ray:

These are signs of good things to come; God has a definite desire and plan for everyone who’s coming for the program.

And everyone hearing about this program must also take advantage of it.

Pastor Ose:

Destinies would be changed.

Reverend Chris:

Thank you for coming on set and sharing with us your thoughts and expectations on the Night of Bliss South Africa.

I want to pray for you who are attending this program, but the first thing is your attention. Your attention is necessary; you must be able to pay attention on the night of the program. Don’t move around, rather stay in one place. You would get the best of the program if you do this.

Father thank you for bring a blessing to the nations of the world.

I pray for everyone at the Night of Bliss, whether physically present or watching from our viewing centers, our churches or other channels, I pray that the anointing would be on them in a special way.

Let your angels go now into these nations and work in the lives of men and women to position them for the best that you have for them in this program.

Thank you for the salvation of the lives of men and women, the healings, the miracles and the testimonies. Thank you for the changed lives. Amen.

YOOKOS SEGMENT

We launched our own micro-blogging and social networking site on 31^st December and it’s been amazing ever since.

One major feature has been we reaching people all over the world and getting them to pray with Pastorchrislive.

We’ve also started a contest in February which will run all the way into the month of October.

And so far for the month of February, we already have those who have been active at the zonal church levels.

Here we have some results of the top winners in this month of February.

With me here are some leaders who obviously are winners in our competition this month:

v Evangelist Eddie Owase

v Pastor Deola Okeowo

v Pastor Tony Ikeoku

So tell us, what has it been like Pastor Tony?

Pastor Tony Ikeoku – Christ Embassy Lagos Zone 4

Yookos is new so we had to first understand the application, but it’s been exciting for us.

Pastor Deola Okeowo – Christ Embassy Lagos Zone 5

Yookos is ours, it is home grown and so we’re more comfortable to put our comments unlike was the case on twitter.

Evangelist Eddie Owase – Christ Embassy Midwest Zone Benin

It is home for us, like Pastor Deola has said and it’s better than twitter. We are more comfortable to use to post ministry programs – just like we sent live feeds on Yookos during the AFM live events and there are lots of testimonies.

Reverend Chris:

Sometimes you look at the vehicle and ask what you can do with it, Yookos is different and exciting and the developments and new features are very fast and rapid – in just two months.

One of it is the privacy features – to determine who sees what on your profile and who does not. You can go to the Yookos blog to study some of these features.

There’s also the Yookos chat, just like yahoo messenger.

The remarkable participation of all our brethren is amazing.

Now for our results on the contest:

1. Lagos Zone 5

2. Lagos Zone 4

3. Midwest Zone Benin

Campus winners were: BLW Zone C, BLW Campus Zone J.

Remember, were talking about ten million followers on Yookos by October. Well done, congratulations.

What feature do you enjoy the most Pastor Tony?

Pastor Tony Ikeoku – Christ Embassy Lagos Zone 4

I like using the albums. The site is much faster and quicker now.

Reverend Chris:

Talking about speed, it’s going to get even faster because we would regionalize service.

Then we have a most amazing team of people who make up the ‘Yookos Team”. You know Yookos doesn’t sleep so we have a team that doesn’t sleep. They are the foundational team members; always working on this round the clock to keep it alive.

Some of you are very good in the techy world; we ask to get involved with Yookos. This is a great gift from us to the whole world.

Pastor Deola Okeowo

Pastor, just being with you and praying with you on Yookos has been a big blessing to us all.

We have had several testimonies in this regard – miracles as a result of these prayer sessions on Yookos.

Reverend Chris:

When we give those instructions to pray, take them seriously.

This month of March is a month of testimonies, from beginning to the end. If you have any crisis or any difficulties, you say to yourself, ‘this situation is for my testimony’. It’s happening in my month of testimonies; therefore I’m coming with testimonies.

Oh hallelujah!! I’m excited about it, its testimonies all the way, from the beginning to the end.

The anointing is on you. The glory of God is in your life.

Father, in the name of Jesus, we thank you for this glorious month of March; we thank you for the anointing in our lives. Thank you for the Holy Spirit that is at work in us. We declare that we are advancing by the spirit – in the name of Jesus. We are grateful, and we are thankful.

Thank you for your grace upon your children, that lifts them that helps them, and makes them great.

We are the seed of Abraham, and Lord we are thankful for this great life that is at work in them.

And because they have set their love upon you, you’d lead them and guide them. You have made them sons of consolation.

If any one be sick, I declare that they be healed right now from the crown of their heads to the soles of their feet. They are healed now in Jesus name.

Thank you all for your time and May God bless you.

IF YOU’RE BORN AGAIN, THEN YOU ARE A VICTOR IN CHRIST JESUS!
SO KEEP WINNING AND KEEP SHINNING!
GOD BLESS YOU.

The Lord strengthen you with His Word; the Lord make his face to shine upon you; the Lord brighten your path; and do you good always; and cause you to rejoice in Him continually. Surely He shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. Concerning you, the Lord says: “Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. With long life will I satisfy him, and show him my salvation…………
