MEDICAL VACATION TO ABUJA, NIGERIA.

Beloved Saints,

I write to remind you that by God’s Grace,  I have arrived in Abuja, to undergo necessary medical examinations and treatment for myself. I appreciate your love, prayers and concerns. 
James 5:14 "Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church...”
We must believe in prayers and also in medical care. 1Tim. 5:23; Col. 4:14. 

Please keep me in prayers: 
1. For wisdom for the Doctors and Specialists in Abuja
2. For God’s healing hand, comfort, and strength for the procedure and recovery 
3. For safety in the journey and provisions for the treatment.
4. Please, remember my household in your prayers.

I trust the Lord for complete restoration. Jer. 30:17 “For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the LORD.”; Issaiah 53: 5.
While I am away, the work of the Lord continues. Amen! 
The gates of hell must not prevail. Mat. 16:18.

A CHARGE TO THE CHURCH: 

BRETHREN, REMAIN STEADFAST ON HIGHER GROUND.
Even as I step away for treatment, my burden for you does not change!
1 Cor.15:58 “Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord...”.

I CHARGE YOU THEREFORE:

1. Be Dedicated to the Faith. 
Jude 1:3 “...contend earnestly for the faith...” Do not let my absence cool your fire. Keep prayer, keep the Word, keep worship, keep evangelism. Higher ground is maintained by consistency, not emotion.

2. Be Cooperative with Church Leadership. Hebrews 13:17 “Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves...” 
    The Elders, Deacons, Teachers, and appointed leaders are laboring for your souls. Submit to them in love, not in fear. A united house stands. A divided house falls Mark 3:25!!!

3. Avoid Conflicts, Pursue Peace. 
Romans 12:18 “If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.”
Galatians 5:22 “...the fruit of the Spirit is... peace...” Do not give the enemy the undeserved opportunity through gossip, offense, or stubbornness, Ephesians 4:27. If an issue arises, follow Matthew 18:15. Cover one another in love 1 Peter 4:8.

4. Remain Peaceful by the Spirit. Philippians 4:7 “...the peace of God... shall keep your hearts and minds..." Let the Spirit, not the flesh, lead every meeting, every decision, every conversation. Where the Spirit is, there is order 1Cor. 14:33.

5. A Beloved Bro. Eniola Kunle will, from tomorrow, be admonishing you daily, in the morning, through our WhatsApp platform.
Preachers, particularly from Ekiti State will be worshipping with you on some Sundays. The Elders and Deacons have been notified. 
The Triad Teachers: 
Bro. Olaoluwa Adaramola,
Bro. Johnson Ogundele, and
Bro. Michael Emmanuel, have been duly recommended by me, to the Elders for the regular Sunday Teachings, in the absence of any Visiting Preacher. We have studied, and trained together. They will maintain the doctrine of Christ.

LASTLY.
Dear Brethren, you are not orphaned. Jesus Christ is still the Head. Col. 1:18. Also, the Spirit is still in charge Acts 13:2. 
Psalm 121:1-2 “I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the LORD...”.
Stand strong. Pray for me. Support one another. Keep the doors open for souls. I'm looking forward to returning to you, by God’s mercy, stronger to continue to serve.

My Prayers For You:
Lord, keep Your people steadfast, dedicated, united, and peaceful. 
Let no conflict take root. 
Let the Spirit rule. 
Strengthen the leadership and the flock, And, by the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ, I prayed, Amen!
Your Brother, 
In His service,  
Benson Omole.

Theme: Shepherding the Flock: Equipping the Saints for the Work of Ministry

Theme: Shepherding the Flock: Equipping the Saints for the Work of Ministry (Ephesians 4:11–12; 1 Peter 5:2–3) Topic: The Noble Task: Understanding the Beauty and Weight of Oversight (1 Timothy 3:1; Acts 14:23; 1 Peter 5:1–2) INTRODUCTION Kunle Eniola (Preacher). Brethren, today we are considering one of the most important subjects in the life of the church—the role of spiritual leadership, particularly elders, and the responsibility of shepherding God’s people. In Ephesians 4:11–12 , the Bible says: “And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ.” Also, in 1 Peter 5:2–3 , Peter writes: “The elders who are among you I exhort… Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, serving as overseers…but making yourselves ensamples to the flock.” From these passages, we learn that leadership in the church ...

CROSSOVER NIGHT AND THE SILENCE OF SCRIPTURE

“CROSSOVER NIGHT” AND THE SILENCE OF SCRIPTURE Joshua Ojo. A Biblical Examination of New Year’s Eve Vigils “What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.” — Deuteronomy 12:32 INTRODUCTION:  A PRACTICE ALMOST EVERYONE ACCEPTS As December 31st approaches each year, religious centers across the world prepare for what is popularly called “Crossover Night,”  “Watch Night,” or “New Year’s Eve Vigil.” Church halls are decorated. Special services are announced. Prophecies are pronounced. “Declarations” are made over the coming year. People are told that how you cross over determines how your year will go. For many, this practice feels spiritual, emotional, and meaningful. But the most important question is not: Is it popular? Is it emotional? Is it traditional? Does it feel good? The only question that matters is: “Is it authorized by Scripture?” The Bible warns us: “Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.” — 1...

Swim To The Light!

Image
Swim To The Light! In October 1917, an immigrant passenger ship bound from Italy to New York was caught in a violent Atlantic storm. Among the third-class passengers was a twenty-eight-year-old carpenter named Antonio Russo, traveling alone with his five-year-old daughter, Maria. Antonio’s wife had died in childbirth two years earlier. America was supposed to be their second beginning. A place where poverty loosened its grip. A place where Maria might grow up with choices her mother never had. At 2:00 a.m., the storm struck hard. Waves smashed across the deck. Water poured into the lower compartments where immigrant families slept. The ship began to list. Panic spread faster than the flooding. Antonio lifted Maria from their bunk and ran. By the time he reached the corridor, water was already waist-deep and rising fast. Passengers screamed, shoved, fell. Bodies pressed together, all of them fighting toward the same narrow stairways, the same shrinking chance at life. Antoni...
