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

Welcome To Dr Etta's Revelatory PLATFORM

The 'SIN' Of Denominationalism!

Highlights!

-Denominations are man's idea of carrying out God's work, but not God's design. I know some people would be surprised by the above statement. You just have to stay connected for more light.The establishment of denominations has never been an agenda in God's heart, and it wasn't the pattern in scripture. Revival and religious movements evolve with time into denominations partly became those in leadership allowed their human ego to dull their understanding of God's plan.

-Are denominations bad? No! Most of them are doing great things for humanity, but that shouldn't be mistaken for God's accord. The fact that God uses a denomination to accomplish certain things that don't mean God agrees with its modus-operandi

- One of the principal sins of denominationalism is that most denominations seek to extend their branches wherever their resources take them. That is contrary to God's modus-operandi for the expansion of his kingdom on earth. On the final day of reconning, most denominational heads will come to realize that God was not a part of their denominational drive to be everywhere their ambition, and resources could take them. Why?

Some of the places some denominations desire to extend to, already have ministries, assembles, and missions with God's wisdom, strategy, and mandate to conquer those territories for the Lord.

Most denominations don't bother to find out the situation of other ministries and assemblies where they plan to extend their branches. Talkless of seeking the heart of God to know if they are mandated to spread where their resources can take them. At times, their quest to be everywhere, locally, nationally and internationally seems more "imperialistic" than kingdom. They fail to realize that God has a roadmap for the success of his work and the harvest of the earth. And, he has ministers/ ministries/ assembles, and missions assigned to villages, towns, cities, and nations with the mandate to subdue and take over those territories for the Lord. The fact that a denomination has the financial, material and human resources to expand to a particular country is not the same as having God's mandate for that nation.

When the children of Israel were on their way to the promised land, the Lord made it so clear to them that they were not to invade the lands he gave to Esau and the children of Lot (Deut 2:4-20). The same principle is true with the work of the kingdom, but most denominations go as they can pay. And the consequence is the subversion of the church we have today and competetion between denominations in several places.

Some of the time, the Lord expects churches and ministries with extra resources to identify and partner with those on the ground in certain places, already doing great work for the Lord instead of extending their denominational branches there. If this were the case, we would have reaped the harvest of the earth.

Today, it seems more as if to be reckoned with in certain quarters of Christendom, a church or ministry must grow into a denomination with branches everywhere. I dey die laugh!

Some boast of having 4000 churches around the world! "We have 5000 branches." God willing, in my next write up, I'll show you the "wrongs" with the above mindset and the sin in it. And, how the above mindset is hampering the expansion of God's kingdom instead of helping it.

I hope that some of the things I write will orientate the emerging generation not to follow the errors of the past and present, but to chart a new way forward for the expansion of God's kingdom on earth as ordained by God.

May God help us! Watch out for part 2!

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

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.

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.

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?
