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. Elisha didn't just learn from Elijah, he was part of his journey and as a result, he received the double portion of his anointing. The sons of the prophets urged him to return; even Elijah encouraged him, but he insisted and continued his pursuit for the double portion of the anointing by being a part of Elijah’s journey and he finally got it.

There are many in Christendom today who study the glory of individuals, but aren't ready to be a part of their story. Paul didn't just talk about knowing the power of the Resurrection of Christ, but also of the fellowship of his sufferings. Today, we want his power in order to gain the spotlight, but dread the fellowship of his sufferings.

There was once a child whose mother had an ugly face and each time he was among his peers, they make fun of his mother’s face. The child was always embarrassed and one day, he summoned courage and asked the mother why her face was ugly. And, the mother sat him down and told him the story.

She said, “Son, there was a day I went out to fetch water; on coming back, I realized that the room you were sleeping was on fire. I couldn't hold myself, knowing well that the fire would consume you; I had to jump into the fire in order to save your life. God helped me get you out of the room, but in the process, I had severe burns on my face, which resulted to the present look of my face."

After hearing the story, the child hugged the mother and started sweeping and the ugliness of her mother’s face became to him, a symbol of her mother's love and sacrifice for his life. After that day, the child who was always ashamed of the mother's appearance saw it as a mark of valor.

The above story has a lot to teach us about leadership and anointing. We can't receive rich “impartation” of grace and anointing from someone we merely love their knowledge and wisdom, but are ashamed of their cross. True anointing has a price; you can learn under someone and even talk like him without really experiencing a rich deposit from the life of the individual.

Listen, if you say someone is your mentor, then don't only study his glory; be a part of his story. Don't only admire his status, get to know of his cross and be proud of it. There were so many young men and women who greatly admired my glory; they wanted to teach and impact lives like Dr.Benard Etta, but were ashamed of my cross and the scars I incurred because of them. As a result, sadly, some of them strayed away and made a shipwreck of their walk with God.

Ministry isn't head knowledge, but heart knowledge, which comes with pain. This truth isn't for those seeking for mere Hollywood style ministerial celebrity status, but for the Elishas of the 21st century church. The bottom-line is this, don't expect a rich deposit of grace and anointing from someone you’re ashamed of his or her cross. No cross, No crown! Do You Still Want The Anointing? DrBenard Etta​

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

(While men slept)

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. Jesus said, when the son of man comes, will he find faith on the earth? He didn't say, will he find church men and women; in fact, they are of more supply than demand. He said, when the son of man comes, will he find faith on the earth? It is time to pursue a relationship with God, which will produce the substance of faith in your spirit. God is still looking for men and women of faith even in this generation and He is in the business of restoring the faith, which was once given to the Saints. DrBenard Etta

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 changes you desire or envisage. Be a part of a cause or vision bigger than you, with the aim of contributing your quota to the positive changes you dream about. That is what living is about!

You aren't living if all you are trying to do is to survive in this world. You start living when you identify with the burden of a cause you were born to be a part of, as a divine mandate over your life in addressing or fixing those things that needs to be put in order or changed.

Christ didn't love the fallen state of mankind; as a result, he stepped from heaven to earth, walking away from merely pursuing comfort and convenience to giving his life for us. Today, we plead his blood over our lives as often as we want for protection and others as if it was that easy to shed his blood.

Nelson Mandela didn't like the state of affairs in his country South Africa. As a lawyer then, instead of settling for a life of comfort and convenience, he chose a path of resistance against apartheid, a system of government in then South Africa, where a minority White population rule over a majority black population of indigenous South Africans with impunity. As a result of his activism, he was jailed for 27 years and later released and trusted with the privilege of leading his nation as the first Black South Africa president.

History has a record of countless individuals who made their lives to count by their sacrifice and contribution in different domains even at the expense of their personal comfort and convenience to deliver what we are enjoying today in all areas of life.

Am I saying comfort and convenience are wrong? No! No! But, most of the time, they stand as obstacles to our higher calling. No one in history and in co temporal times has succeeded in transforming his or her nation or the world in any way without giving up comfort and convenience at certain seasons. If one is merely striving for personal comfort and convenience in this world, then that makes one a dead, but living corpse.

Most people worship the god of comfort and convenience; they can only participate in a cause or vision as long as it doesn't infringe their comfort and convenience. Most individuals, organizations, churches and ministries did quite well when things weren't comfortable and convenient, but when comfort and convenience set in, they lose their edge.

You may be asking, which is the best way to live? The best way to live is to live like Christ. I imagine what some religious folks might be thinking right now! I am simply saying, live the life of a revolutionary. Christ was a revolutionary in his approach to living. Live that way and you will see how impact-ful your life will become. I encourage you to study the life of Christ for inspiration on the life of a revolutionary. If you need my help, contact me. DrBenard Etta​

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. The apostolic fire can't be frozen by difficulties or opposition, but is strengthened by the above. The apostolic fire can engulf an entire city or nation, transforming it into a territory of the kingdom of God and of his Christ.

The apostolic fire carries with it the faith to transform heathen cultures and the passion for kingdom conquest. Wherever it blazes, real transformation is evident and not just the proliferation of religious activities and ceremonies. As gross darkness descends on this generation, heaven is getting ready to release apostolic leaders the church and the world had ever witnessed. They are coming! They are bringing with them a dimension of vision and light, which will pierce through the greatest darkness in all areas and spheres of strategic importance.

We will soon see the transformation of communities, cities and even whole societies and nations. The earth will tremble before this generation of apostolic leaders; their impact will cause the "sun" and "moon" to withdraw their “shining.” We are about witnessing a move of God like nothing we have ever read or seen before, but the question is, how many professing Christians and ministers are even yearning for it?

We have a Christianity today which has become rottenness to the bones. It seems God has become a tool people use to achieve their aims and once they are done, they set him aside for another day's use. Many professing believers and ministers care-less about what burden's the heart of God. Some can't even remember the last time they felt the burden of God for this generation, while “playing church” has become the order in several quarters of Christendom.

It seems God's only option is to spew out this Laodicean thing called "Pentecostalism, Protestantism, Catholicism" out of his mouth. We'll either experience a spiritual revolution or a funeral depending on our decision and choices. May God help us as individuals, churches and ministries to go for a spiritual revolution, instead of a funeral! This is the greatest hour of the church on earth, don't miss out! It is no longer time for baseless and senseless pursuit of God; it's time to know the truth and to have a firm grip on God. Have a blessed week! DrBenard Etta​

“Then the word of the lord (came unto me), saying, Before I formed you in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.” Jere (1: 4-5)

Everything you'll ever need to know about the subject purpose from a biblical perspective is found in the above scripture. Listen! Your purpose is not your job, neither the personal goals you've set for yourself. A good job and one's set out goals are all very important to our success; in fact, they are supposed to complement purpose, but they shouldn't be confused for purpose. 

To demystify purpose, it is imperative for us to decode the phrase: "Before I formed you in the belly I knew thee." as written in our scriptural text.

Before I formed you! 
Purpose is older than people. Purpose is the preexisted state of every human being, which preceded our actual physical existence. We preexisted in God's mind as purpose, before we were conceived in our mother's womb. Thus, the details of our physical and spiritual composition tell the story of our purpose; our purpose directed our formation in our mother's womb. 

The purpose of our lives defined our physical, mental and spiritual constituent. That's why; once an individual discovers his or her purpose and outline his or her life towards fulfilling it; everything about the individual comes together and works in agreement- unleashing incredible ingenuity and divinity. When we live in ignorance of our purpose, we die gradually. 

PURPOSE & LIFE
('Before I formed you in the belly I knew thee.)" Jere 1:4a

Your life didn't begin in your mother's womb. That's why; certain critical insight regarding your purpose is only obtainable when you are given illumination about your existence beyond your mother's womb. 

Your mother carried you in her womb for nine months, but you existed in God's mind before the foundation of the world. Thus, the longest “pregnancy” of you didn't take place in your mother's womb, but in God's womb (God's mind). Wow! You're not a coincidence on earth, neither are you a biological accident. You are a project, carefully crafted and designed for a unique purpose. What is that purpose? Go get the book: Demystifying Purpose. DrBenard Etta

God be merciful unto us, and bless us; and cause his face to shine upon us; That thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving health among all nations. (Ps 67:1-2)

Prosperity isn't an indication that someone is more intelligent or hard-working than others, but whom the Lord of the universe bestows his mercy and favor in a given season for a purpose. The Psalmist prayed: "God be merciful unto us:"the next words are: "And bless us; and cause his face to shine upon us." There is a connection between God's mercy and his blessings/favor; when the Lord of the universe shows mercy on anyone, he blesses and showers his favor on the individual.

So many people all over the world seek God's mercy, favor and blessings daily. The unfortunate situation is that, in most cases, when the blessings come, they forget where God took them from and some of the pledges they made in their hearts during the process of entreating God for mercy. In fact, few bother about God's intention for blessing them, despite their faults.

The above situation is the reason the prosperity of millions around the world hasn't translated into any meaningful transformation and impact on earth beyond themselves. The individual who made several promises to God; “God if you bless me, I'll advance your cause,” becomes the most insensitive person to God's cause when the blessings come.

Listen! Prosperity should go along with a burden (responsibility, vision, compassion). The Psalmist said it all: After entreating God for mercy, blessings and favor, the last line of our Biblical text reveals the true burden of prosperity. “That thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving health among all nations.”

That is it! That is the purpose of prosperity: (To contribute to the cause of making known God’s way upon the earth and his saving health among all nations). This can be done directly or indirectly; directly, through one’s outreaches to the nations or indirectly, by partnering with a vision for the nations. The purpose of prosperity is two fold

i) Contributing to the cause of ensuring that the Earth and everything in it align to God’s principles.

ii) Participating and contributing to the cause of bringing God's saving health to all nations in all areas.

These are the last things that come to most minds after God bestows his blessings on them. In fact, in most cases, people indulge in unnecessary competition and wasteful lifestyles; forgetting where they came from. Some in strategic Government positions, instead of thinking of the difference they can make, focus more on how to embezzle funds for self-aggrandizement.

What of the clergy, who spent years asking the Lord for mercy, blessings and favor to reach nations. When the blessings come; the state of the earth and of the nations takes an insignificant place. The focus shifts to living a highly expensive lifestyle; fleets of cars; huge bank accounts, highly expensive holidays costing several thousands of dollars, replaces the passion to impact lives, etc.

Some say; “don’t criticize me until you know what I've gone through.” It’s not all about what you went through MOG/WOG; it’s all about God’s mercy and favor intended for the nations through you; not for self-aggrandizement. Modesty is good in all things; we can change the world, if we become modest in all we do.

I watched a video of African girls prostituting in the streets of Italy, Greece, Spain, etc. That's a slap on the faces of all our so-called billionaire politicians, businessmen and preachers in Africa. I know some may say; " they are doing their best." Listen! The fact that these negative vices are on a rise it's a sign that our good isn't good enough.

All over the world, the cries of humanity is great. What justification is it for someone to live extravagantly with the state of things globally? We can say what we want and justify ourselves the best way we can, but one of these days, we all, will face the one who sent us here and gave us all we have for reckoning. I think, we all need to do some soul searching!

Dr.Benard Etta

Someone asked me, "What does it take to walk progressively in the revelation of the mind of God?" I told him, it is very easy when walking on the "PATH OF LIFE." When an individual leaves the "PATH OF LIFE," he or she would start receiving a deluded version of things, which gradually graduates into a perverted perspective of things. At that point, right would become wrong and wrong, right and the way of truth would be evil spoken of by such individual.

It is on the "PATH OF LIFE" that one is giving true illumination, which brings things to light, laying them bare as they truly are. On the PATH OF LIFE, our knowledge and understanding of the counsel of God and his purpose for our lives are enhanced.

The price of finding, walking and staying on the "PATH OF LIFE" is simply finding, walking and staying on God's side, which requires a discovery of truth; walking in truth and dying daily to our own ways, plans, purposes and submitting to Gods. It sounds very impossible to a deluded religious soul, but very easy with the grace of God and equally when we come to the realization that, it is all about us enjoying the fruit of the tree of life, which is available to sojourners on the "PATH OF LIFE"- for their well-being, sanity of life, thought, clarity of vision and purpose.

The choice of walking the "PATH OF LIFE" benefit's God nothing; we are the ultimate beneficiaries of this great privilege. God is perfect and we can't improve on perfect. He does not need us to be completed; He was God before we were made and thus, we need him more than he needs us. We can't be completed without him, and walking in the truth is the path to our restoration and ultimate empowerment, not his.

It is important to know that, the "PATH OF LIFE" is not a religious path; in fact, those on this path face their greatest opposition from the religious church world. The reason is simple! Those on the "PATH OF LIFE" expose the compromise, delusion and deviation of those who claim to be of God, but walking on the paths they have created and initiated. That's why, once you choose the "PATH OF LIFE", which is the path of finding the truth, walking in truth and dying daily to your own ways, plans, purposes and submitting to Gods, you would start having outright attacks from those you expect to encourage you.

If you are a minister of the word, some pulpits and churches would close their doors to you and won't allow you in because of the “compromise” on such pulpits. In fact, while you become a savor of life to other fellow sojourners of the "PATH OF LIFE," you would be regarded as a savor of death to those who have chosen the “broad road.”

What is God doing today?

He is reaching out to save as many as he could save who are in church, but walking in their ways, and not walking the path of life. This is the awakening going on right now and it is God's mercy attempt to save the lost in the “church.” It is the greatest rescue mission ever undertaken by heaven. We all are called upon to reexamine our walk whether we are in the faith and walking on the path of life.

Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Matt 7: 13-14.

Have a blessed week. 
DrBenard Etta​

(A must-read insightful message dedicated to those sick and tired of the baseless religiosity of today, void of the substance of life).

Before each one of us, there is a junction leading to two paths; the easy and less challenging path and the difficult and challenging one. The easy and less challenging path is attractive and offers a lot of “leisure” to its sojourners, but delivers little or no substance of life. But the difficult and challenging path is actually that path that leads to life. I mean the God life; carriers of this life are empowered to do much more than just to heal the sick and cast out demons. They can literally give life to a dying generation and stem the tides of evil by their life and ministries. These "crops" of people do more than just to open a “church,” or churches; they are the church.

Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Matt 7: 13-14.

Millions of believers and Christian leaders today are on the easy and less challenging path. In fact, they have been deluded to think that, the easy and less challenging path is a mark of God's favor, when actually it is a seductive deviation from the path that leads to life. That is why, despite the millions of believers and Christian leaders in the world today; very little is changing and very little life is being released to the dying world. Above all, the devil is having a party because his activities are going on uninterrupted, despite all the religiosity under our different church banners.

The path that leads to life is evil spoken of and is strange to this generation, heading to the abyss of self-destruct, deluded by smooth tongue theologians who are experts in twisting the word of God to create room for their carnality and excesses.

Listen! It takes just a little polite "sinners pray" or nothing at all to join any church of your choice, but to walk the path of life requires a dying to self on a daily basis. Jesus Christ is not a politician; he didn't come to form a popular political party or religion, but to restore willing individuals to the path of life, from whence fallen mortals can be reinstated into their permanent place of relationship, fellowship and identify in the Godhead. This is beyond the religion of church going and speaking some retired tongues inside a church building. God have mercy on us!

The times demand for a rediscovery of truth; there is so much deception out there all in the name of “gospel.” It takes the rediscovery of truth to begin one's journey on the path of life. The path of life is the path of truth revealed via the revelation of Christ.

The path of life “kill's you” before giving you life. Such statements are offensive to a deluded soul, lost in church and sleeping in the light, but it's just the truth about the path of life people need to be told.

I'll stop here for now. Let the revolution begin! Dr.Benard Etta

I define grace as God's ability in our inability that ushers in his capacity into our lives. Thus, when God's grace shows up, our inabilities are taken out of the equation as we tap into God's infinite capacity. God's grace can empower us to do what outweighs our own abilities. So, when talking about grace, it implies the mission is beyond what we can do by our own will or strength.

WHAT IS THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF GRACE?

For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich. (2Cor 8:9). This is it!!

The highest level of grace is the ability of God that enables an individual to stoop lower than his or her status in order to reach others. That's, denying yourself what you are entitled to, in order to make others better. It is like leaving heaven to the earth in order to give others the opportunity to live in heaven as well.

I know this isn't the kind of message many today would want to hear. We are living in a world where people striving to enrich themselves even at the expense of the most venerable. People who spend thousands of dollars each day just for leisure are still looking for means to rob people who are barely looking for food to eat.

Listen! All our talks about grace are just like a clanging cymbal, if we know nothing about this level of grace. By grace, Christ, "though he was rich, yet for our sake, he became poor that through his poverty, we might be rich." We all want to go to heaven, but he left heaven, came and lived in this world and died a shameful death just to bring us salvation. What an example!

I know some religious folks would say; that's Jesus. Yes, but he did it by grace, and that grace is available to each of us for our generation. Listen! This present world would perish, unless God's people everywhere step into this level of grace. In the last four decades, we have been taught on how to be wealthy and there is nothing wrong with being prosperous. God is now saying to us; it is time to become poor that through our poverty millions around the world can become rich. I know it sounds complex; let me break it down with some illustrations.

1) Let's say an individual who has the money to buy a car worth $20.000.00 and above, but decides to purchase a car for $4000.00 in order to invest $16.000.00 for a cause to better the lives of others and to sponsor the gospel of the kingdom.

2) Instead of owning four cars or more as a preacher, and lodging in hotels worth $2000.00 a night, you decide to have two cars and to lodge in hotels worth $200.00-$400.00 to save $1600.00 for the work of the ministry.

3) Denying yourself the comfort of a private jet plane in order to invest the money into projects that can improve the lives of people even though you have what it takes to own one.

The examples can go on and on and on. This is something none of us can do. Nobody hates himself, but when we enter into this level of grace, we no longer live for ourselves, but for God's kingdom and humanity.

The world we see today with wars, diseases, poverty, crime, and death is simply the fruits of human greed. The church that ought to be the light of the world in this respect, has failed in several quarters as our greed and egotism is now over the limit of the secular world.

What in the world is a preacher doing with nine private cars? What for God sake is someone who is requesting for public support for his or her cause, ministry work or organization doing in a hotel worth $1000.00, $2000.00 a night? If you have that much to spend, why not use it instead of asking people to give to support your cause, ministry or organization.

Oh! For the manifestation of the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ through his people once more!
For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich. (2Cor 8:9). 

Dr.Benard Etta

It is important to note that, it is given to us (God’s people) to know the inside of every matter in the scriptures and not to live on surface information (Matt 13:11). Serving God at the outer court where we are completely disconnected from the revelation of truth is Old Testament and not part of the New Testament package. It is becoming very critical for us in this dispensation to dissociate ourselves from what is being offered in several quarters of the church as experience with God. It’s incumbent for us to seek the Lord today than ever before, to take us beyond the letter of the word into the spiritual understanding of the word. “For the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life”.(2Cor 3:6).

There is a vast difference between what we read in scriptures and what the Spirit would have us to know from every word, phrase, sentence and story in scriptures. God’s mind is infinite and so is His word; every divine matter in scripture has an infinite dimension of knowledge and wisdom it communicates. That is why, even in eternity, we will continue to gain greater insight from portions of scriptures we thought we already had a mastery of. This eternal and infinite nature of God and His word, is supposed to make our walk of faith dynamic and ever increasing and not dogmatic. Religion on the order hand thrives on legalism and dogmatism; God is light, and His light is progressively revealed in relation to the demands of each dispensation of the Church.

Follow me inside of GETHSEMANE!

Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder. And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy. Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me. And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou [wilt].   (Matt26:36-39)

Before we proceed, it’s important to note that, every experience in the life of Christ all through His entire earthly life, was a well calculated prophetic incident designed to reveal hidden truths about the will of God to mankind. Thus, there are profound truths hidden inside the Gethsemane experience of Christ needed today by the Church.

 Just going over the story of Easter, no matter how pious we do it, without journeying into the depth of what God would have us to know, it is nothing, but another exercise of religious futility. Such exercises characterized the religion of the Pharisees and Sadducees in the days of Christ, and it is unfortunate that millions around the world today are still caught up in the same religious futility. May God have mercy!!

Why Gethsemane?“Then cometh Jesus with His disciples unto a place called Gethsemane.”

Gethsemane is a place you come into once during your walk with God on earth, if you are a man or woman chosen by God to bring salvation and deliverance to mankind in a large scale. The experience of Christ in Gethsemane was simply a prophetic action to establish a mile stone experience in the walk of every man or woman of purpose. It’s true that, Gethsemane was and is still a literal place you can even visit today in the holy land (Israel) but the experiences, which transpired there that faithful day when Christ took His disciples there, are timeless.

Remember, Gethsemane was not mentioned anywhere in Scriptures before Christ and His disciples went there and after that day; it has only been remembered because of what Christ experienced there. The question is; why was it reserved? It was and is reserved to serve as a junction between the call of God and the high calling of God for one’s life. Before you transit from your calling into your high calling, how you manage your Gethsemane experience would be the determining factor.

I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. (Phi 3: 14).

There is a difference between the call of God and the high calling of God. Paul was already in the ministry when he wrote the above scripture by the revelation of the Holy Spirit. He was simply acknowledging the fact that, even though He was doing some fantastic things for the kingdom, there was still a higher calling he had to press towards. Many have died without entering their high calling because of ignorance of what it takes. For three and a half years, Jesus operated in his calling, but His high calling began effectively after He passed the Gethsemane test. If all Jesus did was limited to what preoccupied him before Gethsemane, the salvation of mankind would have been a lost dream, but thank God, Jesus passed the Gethsemane test, and that launched him into his high calling.

What happened inside of Gethsemane? For insight on the above, watch out for my soon to be published book, BIRTHING YOUR HIGH CALLING INSIDE GETHSEMANE! Dr.Benard Etta

After more than two thousand years since Christ died and rose again, it is now imperative for us to travel as God’s people beyond the "religion of Easter" (the activities, ceremonies and rituals, which characterize this season) into the glory, power and wisdom of this season. We can’t afford to dwell any longer at the outer court of the revelation of God on this whole mystery. It's about time we access the "Holy of Holiest" for the hidden manna on the death and resurrection of Christ. That is my priority for writing this article.  

I am sick and tired of the baseless religious activities I see today all over the world; in fact, Christ did not come to make us religious, but to bring us into fellowship with the father through him. Fellow-ship is a compound word, made up of "fellow" and "ship."   

Who are fellows?

Fellows are individuals who share a lot in common. Ship is a sea vehicle that transports people from one end to the other. We were saved to be entwined into the Godhead, to share everything that God has with his son Jesus Christ. Indeed, we were supposed to be ‘board members’ in the order of the trinity, sharing in the light and life of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. We were redeemed to be metamorphosed, transported and translated into a higher order. This is not religion, but revolution rooted in Christ.   

We have entered into a season when the tabernacle of God is with men, and mortals, redeemed by the blood of the lamb, will gain access into mysteries, which were hidden from all other generations, but made known to God’s Holy Apostles and prophets for the church in this dispensation. Are you ready for a revolution or you are satisfied with religious activities and empty ritualistic ceremonies, which have today become the heart and soul of the Church in several quarters? The choice is yours; you can choose to dwell at the outer court or to take advantage of what Christ accomplished for us all, to gain undeniable access into the "Holy of Holiest," where you can share in the secrets of the kingdom and tap into the powers of the world to come.  

This whole redemption issue is bigger than just making it safe to heaven after years of empty, baseless and senseless pursuit of God in Church activities, rituals and ceremonies. It is all about taping from eternity to impact time, accessing the supernatural while still living in the natural world, living heavenly on earthly places and manifesting the Kingdom, Glory, Power and Wisdom of the King of kings. This will require something more than just empty church excitement; it will demand for what David craved for in the Psalms.   

As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God? My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where [is] thy God? (Ps 42:1-3)   

A deep longing for God will inevitably call for the deep of God to be made known to an individual. The Christianity today of seeking for mere welfare can’t take us anywhere, but would leave us crippled, blind and naked. I encourage you to run away from Babylon; you might be wondering what Babylon is all about? Babylon is  a religious system completely out of touch with the heart and soul of God’s kingdom revelation. Babylon is simply gathering people for its own purpose and not for God’s kingdom purpose. Run! Run! Run! Run! Run from Babylon.   

And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of Babylon, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. Rev 18:4

The death of Christ was News, but his Resurrection was a greater News. When something or someone dies, expectations fade, but with Resurrection, comes renewed expectations. If you are going through a "dying" process; it's not the end, but a transition to a more glorious phase of life. The News of your "Resurrection" will be greater than the News of your "dying" process.
