THE WORD FROM PASTOR’S DESK

THE HEAVENLY ENCOUNTER

I want to talk to you this morning about how it is possible for you to experience a spiritual encounter. A heavenly encounter is an event played out on the earth, but obviously it is planned and orchestrated in heaven. When it is all over, you understand that, though it played out in an earthly experience, it was an event which was obviously planned by God in heaven.

A heavenly encounter is the manifestation of the glory of God designed to bring honour to His Name. It is a heavenly encounter that terminates demonic afflictions, solves problems, and transforms a person’s life in a way that cannot be explained by any known human law. Like parting of the Red Sea, Raising the dead, making water come out of the rock, making an old woman to conceive and deliver at the age of 90, making a virgin to conceive and deliver a healthy baby.

Heavenly encounter demonstrates the deep love of God for mankind, display the power of God, confirm the reality of His existence, strengthen the faith of believers, produce faith in unbelievers, and demonstrate the sovereignty of God.

God establishes patterns and systems for accessing certain dimensions of privileges and blessings. These patterns or systems position you for divine encounter that will release the power of God into your life or situation to bring about supernatural turnaround. It is your understanding and engagement of these systems that determine how much you flourish in life as a child of God.

One of such is faith. Faith is a principle that was introduced to humanity through Abraham. He became the reference point for establishing a beneficial relationship with God through faith. Another is sacrifice. Covenants are enacted through sacrifice to access some dimensions of blessing and breakthrough. Remember Noah, Abraham and ultimately the sacrifice of the Passover Lamb-the Lord Jesus.

Be ready for a heavenly encounter for a well-defined turnaround this month of November!

Have a blessed Week!

Pastor Enoch Adeboye visits church, explains path to total perfection in Christ

Pastor Enoch Adeboye and his wife, Pastor Folu Adeboye recently visited the RCCG ‘Overcomers’ Assembly,’ where they were warmly received by members of the church, including the Pastor-in-charge of RCCG Region 31, Joseph Adeyokunnu, and his wife, Pastor Felicia Adeyokunnu.

In his sermon titled: “Total Perfection,” Adeboye noted that Christians can tap into God’s perfection by simply heeding to God’s words as written in the Bible.

The General Overseer, who said he was visiting the church for the second time in his life said: “Sharing our message of “Total perfection” we will read from the book of James 1, verse 17, which says, ‘Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above and cometh from the father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither a shadow of turning.”

Describing God as a perfect Being, Adeboye said: “Our Lord God is perfect. He is a perfect light; no shadow at all in him. He is perfectly good, perfectly kind, perfectly generous, perfectly loving and everything about him is perfect.”

Speaking on the visit, Pastor Adeyokunnu, who doubles as the Intercontinental Financial Controller of RCCG, said he was highly happy to receive Daddy Adeboye and Mummy G.O.

“my joy knows no bounds. It’s like God himself visiting us. Daddy said that he heard from God to come here. That means we have a divine visitation. Nothing more, coming in the seventh month, the month of perfection, and more importantly in the month of my birt; to me it is a birthday gift.”

He added: “Now, the expectations are high. Daddy said, next week we should give people enough time to give testimonies and I can tell you, it will not wait till next week. From the first day of this week, people will be sending their testimonies and I will be the first to testify.”

The church also used the occasion to celebrate the 76th birthday of Pastor Folu Adeboye (Mummy G.O.). She was showered with heart warming messages as she marked another year.

Pastor’s Thoughts – Pastor Ade Oluwayinka

You are important to God and to us. What you are is God’s gift to you and what you become is your gift to God. We want to take you as you are and help you by his grace to become what God wants you to be. We cannot change what you are but certainly we can be a godly influence in what you become. There are three things to consider:

1. What you become is your choice- there is a power that you have that no man on earth can take from you. It is the power of your will. This confers on you the ability to choose. Your choice is a function of your will. We want you to know from the onset that whatsoever you become in this church or your personal life is primarily your choice.

2. What you become is your responsibility- “But let each one examines his own work and then he will have rejoicing in himself alone and not in another. For each one shall bear his own load”(Gal.6:4-5). Whatever you become, be ready to take responsibility for it. Do not become what you cannot take responsibility for.

3. What you become will affect others- You can motivate and challenge others by what you become. Similarly, you can discourage and embitter others by your life. “Then the Lord said to Satan, have you considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil”(Job1:8). Like Job, we believe God can be proud of you too.

In becoming what God want you to be, you will need:

1. Consecration- Make or declare yourself sacred because you belong to God.“ I beseech you brethren by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice…….”(Rom12:1). This you will do by daily yielding yourself to God in prayer and in the studying of the Bible.

2. Dedication- By devoting yourself wholeheartedly to God and to His service. This does not imply that you will have to become ordained as a minister; rather it means that God and things of God will take first priority in your heart.

3. Commitment- You will have to engage yourself or be obligated to a specific cause/work in the service of God. Lack of commitment may result in backsliding. Find something in the church to expend your God-given talent on so that you can be a blessing to others.

We stretch our right hand of fellowship to you and invite to come boldly to the throne of grace of God where you can receive mercy and obtain grace that will help you in the time of need. Now is your set time to become what God wants to you to be. I believe strongly that your waiting is over. The time of bad news of pain, disappointments, failures and delays are over. The Lord is eagerly waiting to usher you in to an era of success and cause you to lay hold of the His glorious promises. Now is the time to possess your possession.

Remain blessed.
Pastor Ade Oluwayinka (Head Pastor)
