Things To Do Before Attending a ‘Special Program’.


These times, we are witnessing a lot of programs in our churches and there are several testimonies that come out of these meetings. The testimonies are received with mixed feelings. While some believe it, others see it as a set-up and give different excuses why it cannot be true. Well, special programs are scriptural. Jesus had many of them during His ministry on the earth.

There are things you must know and do before attending a special program and this determines how much you will receive from those programs. Before you attend your next program, these are the things you must do to be position yourself well for the program.

1- Study about The Theme: You should find out the theme of the program and do a thorough study on it from the bible. This helps your hunger to swell as you may encounter certain questions and you would anticipate that the questions are answered in the program.

2- Meditate about The Theme: After studying from the bible, take enough time to meditate on the theme of the program. This takes time so you should decide some days before the program if you will be attending. Meditation helps you to understand the subject more.

3- Pray for the Program: Contribute your own quota to the success of the program by praying for the ministers and the workers. This is a seed from you.

4- Pray about the Program: Ask the Lord to meet with you in the program in the way that he has not met you before. God responds very well to hunger. Always arrive early and take more time to pray into the program. Your spirit should remain sharp as the program begins. Smith Wigglesworth recommends 15 minutes of praying in the Spirit before the program starts.

5- Fast during the Period: If it is a day program, you can fast so as to be able to be open to receive more from the Lord and if the program spans many days, you may decide to turn the week into a retreat time for yourself. Take some time off some other things and dedicate more time to the Lord in fasting and prayers.

Special programs always solve a need as it is a call from the Lord through which He would impact some of Himself. These 5 nuggets certainly would help you to receive more and let your hope be in God and not the minister. Even if the minister does not touch you, God will meet with you.

Finally, allow the Holy Spirit to lead you in attending meetings. Don’t be ‘lo here, lo there’. Be led.

Prayer of Enquiry

By
PRAYER OF ENQUIRY Prayer is a well established and accepted doctrine in all denominations of the body of Christ. Although, there are differences in our modes of prayer, we all believe in the efficacy of lifting up our voice to God to hear our requests and answer them. As much as we do a lot of this, we don't take the full advantage of it as children of God. We would rather worry and think things through rather than calling on God for help. This can be due to lack of faith in the power of God or being slothful in prayers. Apart from the aforementioned factors that prevent us from enjoying the efficacy of prayers, one key factor that prayer hinges on is praying correctly. To pray correctly simply means to pray according to the will of God. It is easy to know the will of God about sickness and poverty because they are expressly written in bible, but even at this, we still do not get answers when we pray. What you might be missing out may be a simple enquiry. The prayer ...

Holy Spirit 15- The Seven Spirits of God- Part 2

By
We have established yesterday that the 7 Spirits of God describe the 7 fold distinct manifestation of the Holy Spirit and it also describes the perfection of the Spirit of God. The answer to yesterday's quiz is: when God stepped into the matter in Eden, the 7 persons brought by the number 7 are: Adam, Eve, Physical Serpent, spiritual Serpent (the Devil), the Seed of the Woman (Jesus the Christ), the seed of the spiritual serpent (Antichrist) and God Himself . Re- read Day 14 to know how this fit in. Today's Broadcast 2. THE SPIRIT OF WISDOM Is. 11:2, Eph. 1:17 This is the Spirit that reveals to you the PLANS AND PURPOSES OF GOD CONCERNING YOUR LIFE, A MATTER, PLACE, etc. If you will ever know why you are on earth, you need the operation of the Spirit of Wisdom. He reveals EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING about the future. There are 3 prominent Greek words used for Wisdom relevant to our subject; SOPHIA, SUNESIS and PHRONESIS. A. SOPHIA describes the entire wisdom of God. T...

Holy Spirit 4- The Symbol of Dove

By
Mt. 3:16, Mk. 1:10. This typifies the harmless and gentle nature of God the Holy Spirit. He neither FORCE NOR FUSS ANYONE. It is only the Devil that force people and even afflict them without their consent. The Holy Spirit IS NOT a dove; He created the dove. Luke 3:22 says 'the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily form like a dove upon Him'. Many have wrongly interpreted this verse and that's why many church logos have the dove as an integral part of it. You need to know that the church can NEVER COME INTO HER FULL POTENTIAL AND RELEVANCE ON THE EARTH UNTIL SHE KNOWS (knowledge with participation-Greek EPIGNOSIS) the Holy Spirit. The person that designed the handbill for EPIGNOSIS Nite had already put a Dove there to represent 'the Holy Spirit'. I told him to remove it. The symbols in most cases are already becoming an idol in many people's hearts and rather than for many to think of the Holy Spirit as a person, they think of Him as a dove/fire/wind,etc. T...
