Awesome Power at the Unfailing Love Chapel
God has moved in an incredible way in the lives of the congregation at UFC was transformed… by the time i arrived in the church by 7:12pm they where already worshiping God with songs that were powerful and awe-inspiring…and I have a feeling their God is going to move in a fantastic way
After speaking for about 45 mins, i clearly heard the voice of the spirit say step back am about to move, before this words ended, the first 4 rolls in the church had already collapse under the power of anointing.
I made an altar call and prayed for those wanting to get married, to get married, the power of God was so strong that a sister and the usher fell and they had to be carried out of service.
The move was great, i look forward to visit UFC again.

ELOI,ELOI LAMA SABACHTHANI?
Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?
Text: Ps.22, Isaiah 49v15-16
Beloved
Let us give thanks to Lord, Our God and our saviour Jesus Christ for
always being there for us in our times of need . (thank you Lord)
You are a generation that are being called out of this cold, cruel and
perverse generationthe only chord of love and hope that binds us together as a society ,
is decaying and we are heading towards an imminent moral meltdown. The
wisdom of God is wiser than all the wise-men put together, when leaders
are trying to change men by creating institutions, Christ was changing
men inwardly. This is a matter concerning, the heart. On the calvary
our lord Jesus cried out at the ninth hour of his agony, “my lord, my
lord, why hast thou forsaken me. He had no-one to turn to, his disciples
ran away, his mother was helpless, his people had rejected him,
he was mocked, he was naked but not ashamed.
May around us are in this kind of situation and temptation, they need
someone to turn to and their religion or race is not the matter at hand.
God has created us for one another. There are homeless destitute and
we as children of the most high, we cannot turn our face away, we are
created for one another, our Lord want our light to shine so everyone
can see and give God the glorythese people with problems
around us, is not that they are against God but, man is born to troublewe are to help and not to scorn them (obadiah 12>
because on mount Zion they shall be delivered (v 17) we must cultivate a large heart, that is filled with christ-compassion, some researchers
said that Christ died of heart attack, because of grief, he grieved
because even at the point of death, he was being harassed by the people
HE LOVED SO MUCHJesus poured out himself in true love
and true humility to bridge the gap between mankind and God. He lead
the power struggle for the Human race and died with Amazing grace. HE
WAS SO FULL OF COMPASSION. There are many out there today in their many
afflictions crying (heard or unheard) Eli, Eli lama sabacthani. Let us
be there for them as our Lord Jesus Christ commanded “ Go and do thou
likewise” (Luke 10 v 37) God will help us to be broken and be filled
up with CHRIST COMPASSION ( In Jesus name)
Amen.

Growing in godliness.
GROWING IN GODLINESS
TEXT: 2 PETER 3 V 18; GAL. 4 V 1 – 4
Beloved,
We all discuss everyday, we argue on politics, sports, arts, music and we often spend time discussing ourselves and even one another, but I found out that SPIRITUAL GROWTH is hardly a topic in our homes, libraries and offices.
And I asked myself why? It is interesting to note that for us to get our inheritance from God, we need to mature or grow into the full stature of our savior Jesus Christ. The heir, as long as he is a child is no different from the servant, even though he is lord of all (Gal 4 v 1) as long as we keep on taking three steps forward and two step backward we are not ready to find rest unto our soul, that kind of rest Jesus Christ spoke about in Matthew 11 v 29.
Until we decide to put on the JESUS YOKE and LEARN of Him, we shall continue to languish in the MIRY PITS of ungodliness.
The meaning of ungodliness is ideas, living, standards and paradigms without God. How can a man survive without his God when the Bible declares that ‘FOR WITHOUT ME YE CAN DO NOTHING” this is to them whom the word of God came to and the scripture cannot be broken. Without God in our lives, our homes, our offices, our schools and even our church we can do NOTHING.
But Beloved there is a path of GRACE, Apostle Peter exhorted you and I to grow in Grace and in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ, I believe that his grace is sufficient for you. If you only continue in his words day to day and year to year, that’s only when his TRUTH will make you free, be instant in all season, watch and pray, thirst after Righteousness so that Anointing can fall on you. Total kingdom commitment is the pathway for abundant living and unfeigned Godliness.
God will help us as we resolve.

Believers Breakthrough Congress July 09
We all lifted our heart to God in deep worship and awesome praise as we looked back over the last 6month, we had so much to thank God for Good health, better relationship, being in the will of God, peaceful home and excellent spiritual live.
I started with what God is doing at the moment, exhorting the church to walk in dominion in order to get all-round success. I quoted scriptures such as Genesis 1: 26-27, Romans 8: 19, and Joshua 1 : 10.
I also gave insight into what it means to walk in dominion and my favorite example is dethroning false kings i.e. poverty, sin and sickness.
We sang our church miracle medley and prayed 10 prayer point, it was a very impartful service and people went home blessed.
I am looking forward to our prayer congregation next month by God's grace.
In Him
Shalom Shobande
Yeast Of The Heart.
There was a very nice story on CNN recently about a Baker who helped about ten ducklings jump down from the roof of his shop in Spokane, Washington in United States of America, Spokane also is the home of my friend Chris Merkling who pastors a church there, and while I was thinking about the Baker who took these birds to the local river, I also wonder whether my friend Chris will use this Baker to talk to his congregation about taking the focus of ourselves and help other people, whether they a children or ducklings.
One aspect of Baking that still fascinates me is the yeast; the yeast is mentioned throughout the bible, one of the interesting place yeast was mention in the bible is Mark 8: 15, Jesus spoke about yeast, not his own yeast, we know he was a carpenter and not a baker, but he spoke about the yeast of the Pharisee and that of Herod.
Before we can understand what Jesus meant by the use of the word yeast, we should look at what yeast does to bread. Yeast puffs up the bread, giving it an inflated shape and allows it to be filled with hot air.
There are certain things that can puff us up, one of them is pride, pride could be positive or negative, and pride can destroy.
An inflated estimation of your past successes can lead to prideful behavior and as the saying goes pride comes before a fall. Pride finds comfort in false security; it also blinds you to your vulnerability to temptation.
Our pride can become positive, when we feel the satisfaction of what God does through us, not being proud of what we have accomplished but what God has done through us; you can feel positive pride in the integrity and the honesty of your life.
Negative pride can take you to two extremes, one is legalism the other is passion and vice, legalism is the end product of pride, this is not wanting to accept God’s grace in Christ Jesus and always trying to pay one way or the other for salvation that has been freely provided. On the other hand with all that success has provided for us, for some of us the next thing we want is to fulfill all our fleshly desires. Either way our negative pride like yeast can spread and influence other people.
This brings me back to the Baker of Spokane; he guarded the ducklings and their mother to a local river in the town till they are safe to swim away.
