So something happened earlier this morning
during the Night of Glory.
In the church I attend, I was the minister
in charge of the choir.
I was given this assignment officially in
January 2018.
Before then I had been unofficially involved
in grooming the choir members spiritually
The choir had some scandals before I joined
the church I heard about it and even helped
mop up some of the issues in my little capacity.
The church is a good church but emphasis
was based on righteousness through religious
efforts.
I disagreed totally with this theological view
Righteousness was a "free" gift and cannot
be earned by human effort or performance!
This is why it can never increase or decrease!
It is fixed!
Grace increases and multiplies but righteousness,
like eternal life was always a gift through the
Lord Jesus Christ!
I wanted to demonstrate this to the
Church so I asked to be made the minister in
charge of the choir!
My pastor agreed I started praying with the
choir and having vigils with them I told them
to forget all rules
They are at liberty to relate with one another
in whatever capacity they desire
Given the record of Sexual immorality I met
on the ground, many felt this was a mistake.
It was the right step
The more we fellowshipped together in the
Holy Spirit, the more the choir grew in-depth
and knowledge of Christ.
Good things started happening in the choir
New Jobs, marriages and so on
The news spread other talented singers from
other churches came to join our church choir
We became spiritually contagious!
Gone were the days when choir members
would use words to stir members into worship
When they minister, their ministrations made
the Holy Ghost fall upon their audience!
They became firebrands of glory!
And I am so proud of them!
When we had to move the Night of Glory
to @TheikosDoxa,
I was faced with a dilemma
I didn’t want it to seem as if I was poaching choir
members to another ministry
Such things are delicate in today’s competitive
churches
So we arranged to get a praise team to lead
our services until things take shape I made the
arrangements and also paid in full
The D-day came
When service was about to start, I saw my choir
members
They had arrived of their own accord to be a
part of the Night of Glory
Hallelujah!!!
I told the paid team to leave the altar for
my choir
Their leader told me it wouldn’t be fair
They came to honour our invitation and we
shouldn’t bench them
I said no He said he will tell the two teams
to sing together and share the microphone
I didn’t like the idea at all!
My choir understands me
Our services attract people from all over
the world
And the service was always from 11am -2am
followed by one on one ministration
Worship is integral to spiritual receptiveness
in many Neppios
People don’t come to Night of Glory to be
entertained!
No way!
We command tangible results by the power
of the Holy Spirit through the intensity of
Worship and the anointing of God’s spirit
Service started
The music was not at the level I was used to
I went to the altar and started praying in
the spirit
The supernatural zing I was used to
Remained missing I signaled to my choir
to take over
They didn’t get the signal
I started looking at the watch
Many people came with huge expectations
The atmosphere was supposed to be charged
in order to accommodate the Supernatural
The atmosphere was more “Owambe” than
“Kadosh”
I stormed the altar and stopped the service
(I know @harrydaniyan will be crossed with
me here I apologise sir!)
I told the congregation I am not feeling the
“Tungba” song I told my choir to take over
I know it was way off it
I wasn’t angry
I just didn’t want people to lose their
Sleep for nothing! If I am conducting a healing
and restoration service in words only, I can as
well tell people to go home and sleep!
My choir took over, it started off slowly but
within five minutes, the atmosphere turned
I heard the revving sound I had been waiting
for in the Congregation! We took off into glory!
When it was my turn to minister I apologized to
the young man I “embarrassed”
I blessed him by the power of the Holy Spirit
We went on to have signs and wonders galore!
Zion erupted and glory was birthed!
I also apologized to the congregation
Some of my “supervisors” who watched online
had sent me messages berating me and then
thanking me for apologizing to the young man!
Worship is integral to the manifestation of the
supernatural in a congregation!
The spirit of God must be present in the
atmosphere to heal and deliver!
There are a million ways I could have handled it
better
I promise to do better next time.
Ps: TOMORROW 03/01/2020 BY 9AM
We will be ministering at Theikos Doxa
Evangelical Ministry, opposite Maldini Granite,
Surulere
The Holy Spirit gave us specific instructions
for this service
Those who had shared the same worship
atmosphere with us can testify to the fact
that the Holy Spirit transforms lives and destinies
all around us!
I am inviting you specially for this service
The Theme is Rehoboth!
If the Holy Spirit is asking you to come,
please come!
