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 20th Anniversary, June 2017
SECOND PHASE

“JOIN THIS CHARIOT” to build , give prayerfully,
willingly, sacrificially
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.
“JOIN THIS CHARIOT” to give.
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
