The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple. Psalm 119:130

Money Is Not Everything

Money Is Not Everything

Money Is Not Everything! 

PONDER 🔥 

Listen, beloved, most life-transforming opportunities for your growth may not be monetarily advantageous. On the contrary, some may cost you money and your time but would offer you other things money simply can't buy. 

If you don't know this, I'm afraid you will shut doors you were to keep open, and you will miss a lot.

Sometimes favor may appear as labor in disguise to scare the opportunists and adventurers.

Between 1994 and 1996, I served as a revivalist and church planter with the Full Gospel Mission, Manyu Division, Cameroon. 

During those years, I do not recall any pastor in the area possessing a motorbike, much less a car. Ministry was solely a matter of conviction and passion for the Lord. That's the contrast today; ministry to many newcomers is a shortcut to wealth, fame, and others. 

I collaborated with a team of intercessors as we ventured onto the frontlines of church planting and revival meetings beyond our Jerusalem. God's grace was so enormous as we saw the successful planting of local churches in rural communities where there weren't any local churches.

Everywhere we went, we witnessed many people turning from idols to serve the living God, and the fire of revival spread throughout the area. To the glory of God, the fruits of that era continue to multiply—more 'trees' and fruits even beyond the region and globally.

Listen, the two years of service with the full gospel mission in Mamfe, Manyu Division, in Cameroon were explosive. I wasn't on salary or any formal support, and I didn't even remember expecting a salary, but God provided in wonderful ways.

I answered yes whenever duty called, and I will forever thank the Lord for the platform, which served as my early foundation for ministry. 

I mentioned this to highlight the fact that while certain ministry assignments may provide opportunities for financial support, others may primarily serve as platforms for learning, training, networking, exposure, and more. Money is not everything.

My time of service with the Full Gospel mission didn't result in any tangible ministry support, but it gave me the platform to exercise the gift of God and calling upon my life. Today, looking back 30 years, I thank God for those days of little beginnings. 

If you are looking for support and financial blessings from every ministry opportunity, I can assure you, you won't go far.

Just serve the Lord enthusiastically, and He will take care of you. Don't leave a church or ministry intended by God to serve as a platform for your development simply because you aren't making money. 

A brilliant mind once said, "If all you are thinking about is how to make money, you are a very poor person."

You may walk away from a platform that can change your life not financially but ministerially because of money. I don't know to whom I'm talking, but I felt led to share this!

LEARNING IS LIVING

 

 

 

WHY GFCSM IS UNIQUE!

1) It is a heavenly vision for such a time as this, packaged with timely and relevant revelation knowledge to equip the saints for extraordinary effectiveness and impact in establishing God's kingdom and His will on earth as it is in heaven in the lives of people and all facets of society in the 21st century.

2) The courses are not borrowed, but downloaded from the mind of God, and uniquely designed for 21st-century passionate, curious, and inquisitive kingdom ambassadors, whose search for God and truth can't be satisfied by baseless proclamations and religious rhetoric. Presently, I don't know of any school of ministry with the courses in the GFCSM online school program. This is what leadership is about; opening new frontiers and refusing to lead from behind.

3) GFCSM doesn't only educate and equip those called into the five-fold ministry but has an extensive vision and resources to equip marketplace leaders from all walks of life.

4) GFCSM is a pace-setting kingdom mandate for the 21st-century church. By the providence of the Almighty God, GFCSM is one of the very few schools of ministry with sound biblical revelations, which you would rarely come across cheaply.

If Jesus Christ said, he was not the light of the world, he would have been telling a lie. If we say GFCSM isn't a pace-setting and groundbreaking 21st-century revolutionary Christian leadership vision, we would simply be telling a lie.

This isn't cheap publicity, but undeniable facts. Jesus wept over Jerusalem for not knowing the time of her visitation.

A new move of God is on the horizon, don't miss out.

MINISTRY IS ABOUT IMPACT

Religion is like a virus!

Religion is like a virus; it attacks basic common sense and prudence. It is a baseless and senseless pursuit of God due to inadequate divine illumination. Deliverance from religion is the fundamental requirement in accessing the Divine.

It's interesting to note that, those who crucified Christ were religious people. Why? Christ was a threat to their religious domination, manipulation, and control of the masses.

If Christ returns to earth today, religious people would still seek to kill him. Religion is the most vicious enemy of humankind.

The world is divided between a minority who truly know God and a majority of religious people who believe in God but don't know Him.

Where do you belong?

The Word Of God Contains All The Vital Principles For Birthing A New Civilization!

The world within the word of God is the only realm without deficiencies; its sufficiency can make up for our deficiencies in all areas of our lives and spheres of strategic importance. Apart from salvation from sin, sicknesses, curses, and demonic oppression, the ‘world within the word offers breakthrough knowledge, ideas, strategy, inventions, creations, and innovative insights, capable of propelling advanced progress in the Politico-Socio-Economic-Cultural and Scientific arenas. The word of God contains all the vital principles for the birthing of a new civilization, in virtually all areas and spheres of life. It takes insight to see this possibility.

There is much more to our existence on planet Earth than mere survival. I said in Chicago last year during my mentorship program that the highly celebrated "American Dream" of a house, car, and others is the highest form of poverty if it becomes all one lives for.

IT'S A NEW DAY!

He called the Light Day. Genesis 1:5a

In God's perspective, a day is only justified by its light. That's why, Christ said, we should ask for our daily bread. The bread he was referring to was something deeper than physical food; it is the light (revelation and understanding) that goes with each day.

You can't survive on yesterday's light, today, which is the major reason why most institutions, churches, and organizations lose their relevance with time.

Operating with the light of yesterday in a new day is the major reason behind the decay in several quarters of Christendom.

Jesus wept over Jerusalem because they didn't know the time of their visitation. The light of the world walked through their streets, but their religious blindness made them miss such a glorious era.

I'm weeping for this generation, "And this is the condemnation, that light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil." John 3:19.

I pray you seek the light for this era!

Sometimes, it may require personal consecration to God and thorough mentorship under those entrusted with the light of a given dispensation.

"Religion" hates to hear this kind of truth, but we won't close our mouths nor drop down our pens until the light of the truth sweeps all across this dark world. Help us, God! DrBenard Etta

He Called the Darkness Night! Gen 1:5b

 

Physical things are weak illustrations of life realities. We are either walking in the “Day” or “Night” and the difference is light.

The difference between day and night is not time, but light. An entire generation can grope in the dark and live their experience in the night if they lack light (Illumination).

We are in the 21st-Century, and while there is a small group of people dotted around the world who are walking in the light of this day (21st Century), it is just unfortunate that millions of people living in this same era are walking in darkness and living the reality of the night.

An entire denomination, nation, and generation could walk in gross darkness even under the brightest sunlight. Thank God for sunlight, but its impact is merely physical. There is another light; divine light, the light of the revelation of Christ as the truth. That's the highest light!

It doesn't make people merely religious; it upgrades their knowledge and understanding and gives them access to “heavenly civilization” for early manifestation. That's why, just going to church alone isn't enough, there is light available if we press on to know the one who is Light, and in him is no darkness at all.

It is his light given to a generation that births their day. He called the Light Day!

Very soon, the power of his Light will lighten this age through his luminaries. I see a new day on the horizon; it's coming!

Don't get lost in baseless “religiosity,” disconnect to connect. Ponder to be a wonder!DrBenard Etta
