The greatest worry of any nation or kingdom is to be devoid of soldiers in a time of warfare. It is the same with God's kingdom! When we have millions of Christians today, who go to church every Sunday, but are totally unconscious of the war raging against their own very souls and God's kingdom advancement on earth, and what they are supposed to do, it is a worrying situation. What used is a mob of civilians when a nation is under-attack? The only people strong enough to defend a nation's te

Let's say the sole purpose why Mary came to the world was to give birth to Christ; what would have happened if she decided not to cooperate with God, and instead abort the baby in her womb? What would she be living for? Ponder!
Let's say the sole purpose why Abraham came to the world was to give birth to the nation of Israel, what would have happened if he decided to stay in the land of Ur, instead of departing to the land God promised to show him. What would he be living for in the land
"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." Gen 1:1.
God Created!
Creativity is the activity of an active mind. Creation began in the mind of God, not the hand of God. The hand has no intelligence of its own; it depends on the mind to instruct and direct its actions. That's why; Individuals who only know about the hand of God and not his mind are like bulldozers without any guide. Some of the severed crises in the church today and the atrocities committed in the name of manifesting
"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." Gen 1:1.
God Created!
If God's first act in the beginning was creation, why aren't we hearing about creativity, invention, innovation and discoveries within the church world? I can't really remember the last time I saw a Christian convention with "creativity" (Creation) as the theme. Is there a place for creation in the mission of the church on earth? Just thinking out loud!
What does it mean to create?
To create is to bring (something) i
"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." Gen 1:1
We have been searching the mind of God for insight on the beginning from the above biblical text. To flow in the understanding of this write-up, it's important to read the previous messages.
In the beginning "God"
The above text introduces us to God who was in the beginning and before the beginning. If God existed before existence and was the main architect of heaven and earth in the beginning, it implies, studying about creation,

The final battle between good and evil is already taking place and the casualty is enormous. The times demand for a degree of alertness and preparedness from everyone serious about surviving the battles of this hour. The causality is mounting up all around us and several million more people risk being a part of the casualty. Why? Due to their Unpreparedness!
We are living in a time when information and revelation have been graciously given and made available, but the irony is that
"In the beginning"- God created the heaven and the earth. Gen 1:1
Nothing begins “on” the outside; every “beginning,” begins “in,” and not “on.” “In the beginning.” The heaven and earth didn't begin "on" the outside; they began “in” the mind of God before they were brought into manifestation. If you were given a rare opportunity to meet with God before the physical creation or making of the heaven and earth, you wouldn't have known what he was carrying in his inside. That's the mystery about th
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. Gen 1:1
"In the beginning," there was a beginning and everything with an end, must have a beginning. What you lack the courage to begin can never be completed. Each time you postpone the beginning of a step or an action, you unconsciously postponed your destiny. There are some of you sitting idly-by waiting for the perfect timing to begin. Listen! There'll never be any time when all things will fall in place or all conditions will be favorab
You can't make a good, effective and relevant Christian leader if you haven't been a good apprentice of an effective, progressive and relevant leader or Christian body, one with sound biblical foundation, character, charisma and at the cutting-edge of the move of God. I didn't say, if you haven't been an apprentice of a leader, but a good apprentice of an effective leader or of a Christian body with sound biblical foundation, character and charisma, at the cutting-edge of the move of God.

Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. Matt 4:1.
Is anything wrong with the above text? Can the Spirit lead an individual into the wilderness? What could be the purpose of this type of experience? Why was he not led into some place different other than the wilderness? Is the wilderness experience necessary in today's materialistic and technologically advanced generation? What is unique about the wilderness?

The vision of a visionary is always bigger than the visionary and it carries the potential to accommodate and uplift many people when it comes to fruition. At times, when a visionary is still in the process of pursuing his God given vision and dream, most people take him for someone working for himself, but when the vision and dream comes to fruition, sometimes, even those who didn't participate in anyway, fight and even trample on others for a "piece of the pie."

There is "mafia" in virtually every sphere of strategic importance today. There is mafia in business, sports, politics, education, church, and even mafia groups associated to nations. For instance, Italian mafia, American mafia, Mexican mafia, etc.
What is mafia? The word “mafia” may mean different things to different people, but the underline characteristics of a mafia activity or group is to make as much money and wealth as possible through wrong means. Often, money made via mafia activiti
There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink. John 4:7.
Could it be that Jesus wasn't really thirsty, but was simply giving the woman of Samaria an opportunity of her lifetime to step up higher than she ever attempted, and to shift from the natural to something more profound and supernatural. What a blessing for the one who created all things including water to ask water from a mortal human being.

You can’t receive an “impartation” (a rich deposit of grace) from a man or woman of God by merely tapping from his or her wealth of knowledge and wisdom. To receive such a deposit of grace from anyone you regard as a role model or mentor, you've to be a part of their journey either practically or by revelation.

But while men slept, the enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. Matthew 13:25.

What happens when the watchmen fall asleep? What happens when the focus of the church shifts from taking over cities and nations to simply extending denominations?
What happens when prosperity which was supposed to empower the church for conquest is diverted and used extravagantly to sponsor the lavish lifestyle of celebrity ministers? What happens when the church ou
Faith is not one's religious belief, but the core substance of one's relationship with God. There is no true faith outside a relationship with God. Faith is the expression of the spiritual quality of an individual revelation of God. You can't truly separate a man from his faith just as you can't separate a man from his revelation. A man's faith would always be one with the spirit of the individual. Faith is supernatural and eternal. It is one of those things one carries along beyond the grave.
Most people who lament about the state of affairs in the Church and the deplorable state of the world, would seldom give up their comfort and convenience for a cause, which can bring about positive changes in the church and in the world and to me this isn't only an irony, but hypocrisy of a higher proportion.
If you don't like the way things are, the best way to prove it, is not to talk, but to do something positive, no matter how small it may be as a contribution in the direction of the chan
The church was born and released by apostolic fire. The impact of the early church on the entire world of that time was highly indebted to apostolic fire. Apostles aren't religious "fat cats" bearing the title of Apostle, but pioneers of the move of God in every generation of the church age. What is the mark of an apostolic leader?
Apostolic leaders are carriers of apostolic fire, which is the zeal of the Lord's will for the earth as it is in heaven for every given dispensation in all areas.
I taught this yesterday to my people, and I'm led to share a portion with you. Are you expecting a harvest in your life? Remember, if you ever had a sowing season, it isn't out of place to expect a harvest. Seed time and harvest time are directly linked. My goal in this note is to help you recognize your harvest season. This is very important in order for
you to be properly positioned for it. Let me take you into the universal lab manual and the Divine constitution. (Bible)

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.

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.
THE WORD!
You can't rise above your knowledge of the word of God. Ignorance of the word is the greatest ignorance of man. Dr. Etta

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
