Venue: Multipurpose Hall,
Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto (Permanent Site).
Date: 21st – 22nd
April, 2012
The
meeting was held in partnership with the University Christian Chapel.
A
six man team went in company of Pastors Courage and Bibi Ode on the first day
of the meeting.
Highlights of the meeting
Pastor
(Mrs) Bibi Ode was invited to lead a worship session which should usher in the
ministration of the sent man (Pastor Courage Ode). This session was indeed a
springboard to set the stage for the word delivery as the participation and
expectation of the audience was expressed through hearty worship experience.
After
about twenty minutes of worship, Pastor Courage Ode came up for the word
ministration which was received with great enthusiasm. The man of God
emphasized the mandate of the meeting and how he had received from God the
commission to take the word round campuses starting from Sokoto which is the
base of the ministry.
Pastor
Courage called the message “A Prophetic Alarm” for youths to turn the tide in
their days and take responsibility.
Word Excerpts
The
message focused basically on the foundational texts of Ezekiel 22:30-31 and 2
Chronicles 34:1-33.
- God is
helpless in human affairs without a man
- There
is a type of man with a kind of mentality and heart He is seeking for
- God
and man cannot walk together except there is agreement in mentality and thought pattern
- The scope
of God’s thought is global, generational and it’s about nations
- You are
not too young to sit on your throne
- The possibility
of our reign as king starts by thinking and praying it
- An analogy
of the characters in the bible was tabularized
David
|
Josiah
|
They
represent fathers
|
These are
children
|
The past
or passing generation
|
The present
or new generation
|
They represent
foundation
|
They are
the building
|
- The
children must recognize, honour, acknowledge and celebrate the fathers as
no
building can stand without a foundation
- The longevity
of the building is in the strength of the foundation while the beauty is in the
building
- The past
should be the take off point for the children and not their peak
- Every generation
has a dual responsibility to build on the foundation of the past and to lay a
foundation for the upcoming ones
- It must
be a testimony of greater works as even the best record can always be overcome
with new strategies
- The works
of the fathers should be a booster to attain our heights as a generation
- The youthful
phase is the time to seek God and to know the God we have. Impact begins only
when we begin to seek the Lord
- The manifestations of God in our days must be upgraded
The
second day of the meeting which was on Sunday, 22nd April had in
attendance a five man team together with Pastor Courage Ode. The meeting had
already started with music ministrations before the Love Revival Ministries’
team arrived. However, on arrival, Pastor Courage Ode was introduced and cheerfully
welcomed to the platform for the word ministration.
The
ministration was a continuation from the previous day based on the principal
bible texts.
Word Excerpts
- This generation
must have encounters to match and overcome the opposition of the day
- We cannot
afford to be ignorant of the bible as the word is our weapon to reign
- A genuine
heart cry for God is necessary and as such, cannot be despised or denied
- We are
beginning to see what we can as our
fathers did not get it all
- The bible
addresses every aspect of our life , hence the word must be enthroned in its
place
- As kings
and priests we can both seek and likewise interpret the revelations of God
- It’s
time to think, talk, pray and behave like king
- A time
to get back to the source with the appropriate attitude and response
Pastor
Courage gave a seven quick summary of the whole message as:
1. We are
not bastards neither are we a people without a history
2. We cannot
afford to be ignorant of our history
3. We must
recognize and celebrate our history and fathers while we still acknowledge that
they are simply foundations
4. We must
be genuine, addicted seekers of God because there is more of God to know
5. We must
have the right attitude towards the outcomes of our revelations and encounters
while seeking the Lord
6. We must
have a kingdom heart and mentality
7. We must
not be content being blessed but rather to be a blessing
The
end of the meeting was marked with good patronage of our ministry’s material
sales stand where books, CDs of previous messages were sold.
