JOIN THIS CHARIOT

JOIN THIS CHARIOT

This is a call that spells out the direction and emphasis of the work God has committed to us in the coming years, and I have a release in my spirit to use every avenue and platform to make it known. And so, I am asking you and everyone anywhere in the world to “JOIN THIS CHARIOT”. There has been a build up to this call in the last three years.

THE ENCOUNTER

The very strong dealings I have been having on this, climaxed in an encounter I had while ministering the word at AUCHI, EDO STATE, Sunday, Nov. 26 this year. The Lord clearly showed me, using the story in Genesis 19 that the world is in a global crisis and the judgement (destruction) of this earth is inevitable and we don’t have much time in our hands anymore. We are actually at the phase now where the angels told Lot to gather as many as “you can gather because we have come to destroy this place”. (Paraphrase mine) Gen.19:12-13. That’s where we are now; it’s no joke or playtime at all. “JOIN THIS CHARIOT”. We have to put out all resources, (human, financial, spiritual together) to gather as many as can be gathered before the destruction.

Our response as a Ministry had to be reviewed in the light of our mandate and vision

OUR MANDATE - To take the gospel of the kingdom to the nations and new territories under a strong APOSTOLIC GRACE charting new paths and establishing kingdom order. Mt. 24:14, Mk. 16:15-20, Mt. 28:19-20.

OUR VISION - To raise and release KINGDOM DISTINGUISHED CITIZENS. That is, men and women who will stand distinguished in all ramifications as leaders and role models in their respective areas of call/operations.

OUR RESPONSE

1.     PRAYER WATCH: We got both the instruction and strategy from the Lord to pray every day in church (Acts 2:1) through the year for one hour (12noon-1pm) with the prayer focus being

-THY KINGDOM COME,

-THY WILL BE DONE IN EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN

-LORD OF THE HARVEST, SEND FORTH LABOURERS INTO THE HARVEST

Mt. 6:10, Mt. 9:37-38, Zech.10:1

And this has been going on, preparing the nations and people (earth) for the RAIN.

“JOIN THIS CHARIOT” to pray as we hope to continue in the coming years                

2.     RAMAH – (1 Samuel 7:15-17) This is our operational base where we disciple labourers for the work, and from here we reach out to villages, cities and nations. For our work to be effective especially with the urgency, we do not just need an operational base but we need structure as well. We actually have a 2 phase project.

FIRST PHASE

-         Children’s Block: Completed

-         Administrative Block: Completed

-         Main Auditorium Block: Temporary Structure. We believe the permanent structure should be done before our 20^th Anniversary, June 2017

SECOND PHASE

-         Prayer Ground: We have the land fenced already for open air meetings

-         Prayer chalets: For personal retreats (Yet to be built)

-         Bore Hole: For the benefit of the community and us. (Yet to be done)

-         Road Construction: For the benefit of the community and us. (Yet to be done)

3.     APOSTOLIC SUMMIT – Come June 1, 2017, we will be 20 years as a Ministry and the Lord would have us call for an APOSTOLIC SUMMIT, after which, it will be yearly in Sokoto. And it will also begin to hold in other cities, campuses and nations as the Lord opens the door, with GUSAU and KEBBI for a start in 2017. We intend to invite all those who have passed through this commission all over the world to this edition. Prayers have started towards the summit, every Monday 6-7pm at the Central Parish, Koko Road.

“JOIN THIS CHARIOT” – Pray, Give and Prayerfully plan to be there in Jesus’ name.

4.     VISION 20-20-20 – In fulfillment of our mandate, we intend to invade at least 20 villages, 20 cities, 20 nations in the coming years with the gospel of Jesus Christ and plant churches there and we are starting with KEBBI, GUSAU and MAIDUGURI next year 2017. VISION 20-20-20 prayer team meets every Friday 6-7pm at Central Parish, Koko Road on this.

“JOIN THIS CHARIOT” to Pray, Give and make yourself available.

5.     JOURNEY INTO GLORY

We will be starting the New Year 2017 with a 40days waiting on God in fasting, praying, studying, worship etc. with the kind of task ahead of us, this is more than necessary. We need to begin now to prayerfully prepare for the journey.

6.     MINISTERIAL WELFARE FOUNDATION

We have set up a foundation to cater for the welfare of Ministers (Full time) personal and family needs, such as, house rent, school fees, feeding, medical bills etc irrespective of their denomination. And these ministers are not necessarily and primarily ministers of Love Revival Ministries as long as they are actively involved in the propagation of the gospel of Jesus Christ. This is our response to help reduce the casualties in the field such as basic needs becoming a distraction to doing the work, total abandonment of the work for “greener” pastures as it were and in some cases, more adverse experiences like untimely death through protracted illness which could have been prevented, of loved ones or the ministers themselves. “Smite the shepherd, the sheep will scatter.” Matthew 26:31. We already have about two partners that have consistently partnered with us on this for two years now.

7.     DISCIPLESHIP STRATEGIES

Discipling is an integral part of the gathering and the Lord is expanding the scope of the strategies He has given us for DISCIPLESHIP.

-         FORUMS: These have held monthly in Sokoto consistently over the years but we are taking it to other cities like we did years ago.  (Kebbi, Zuru, Gusau, Abuja) The Forums are for MINISTERS, BUSINESS, TEENS, SINGLES and FAMILY.

“JOIN THIS CHARIOT” to give, pray, plan and mobilize in your locality.

-         PUBLICATIONS: We intend to package our materials in books, magazines for circulation in the various fields opening up.

LOVE DIGEST- We have faithfully printed and circulated it free for years now and we intend to be more consistent and also increase the quantity.

BOOKS- Old stocks- eight (8) titles are due for reprint, while we intend to print about twenty (20) titles this 2017.

“JOIN THIS CHARIOT” to give, help circulate the materials.

As I round up, I want to thank you for patiently reading through. However, I would like to say calls like this are also a life time opportunity that rarely comes. Read and prayerfully consider where and how you come in and do so urgently and faithfully. It’s with a great sense of responsibility and urgency that I have communicated this in the fear of God.

“JOIN THIS CHARIOT” for the Lord of harvest calls for labourers (Praying, Paying and Preaching). The harvest that is ripe and plenteous must not waste and we don’t have much time.

Please be mindful of the fact that, this call is an ongoing one (LIFE MISSION), it’s till He (JESUS) comes, it’s not just for 2017 or a period of time

 Once again, “JOIN THIS CHARIOT” as we remain eternally committed to “raising and releasing KINGDOM DISTINGUISHED CITIZENS”. Praying we all finish 2016 strong and gloriously in Jesus’ name.

Maranatha!

Yours In His Service
