Can We Transform This Dying World In 10 years? 2020-2030.

Posted by Global Faith Coalition on February 7, 2019 at 3:06pm

If just 5% of the millions of Christian leaders and believers we have the world over were thinking about a world invasion for Christ and ultimate transformation and "conquest," it could be done in seven years. "Where there is no vision, the people perish." Proverbs 29:18. Did you get that?

People are only resourceful if vision is instilled in them. Most of the brethren in ministry today think that once they gather individuals in their thousands who sing their praises while they entertain them with prophecies and others, that is transformational. Sad!

Take a look at some of the countries with some of the largest auditoriums of "Churchains" and tell me if any meaningful transformation has taken place in those cities and nations. How much of righteousness is seen in the streets, schools, marketplaces, and palaces of power? What has changed? How much transformation have those cities and nations experienced as a result of the impact of the mob of Christians? It is questions that changed the world, not answers! Start asking questions!

One of the reasons for the inability of the church to bring real transformation in cities and nations is because of a lack of vision. Vision is not only the ability to see possibilities amidst impossibilities, but also includes the strategy to actualized vision. In a nutshell, we can say that vision is the knowledge of what, where, when, why, who and how.

When individuals lack a compelling vision, you can see it in their self-absorbed focus and what they say and do. They may do a few humanitarian outreaches and share the photos on the social media to blindfold gullible followers and the public from noticing their high egoistic, self-centered ambitions. The greatest curse this generation has are leaders who are gross wasters. They ask people to sacrifice, while they give widows mites and live fat on their loots.

Our world is full of tears, cries, and deprivation of all sorts and yet we close our eyes and pretend as if nothing is happening. Where are the men and women of vision? Can these men and women of vision if at all they exist start forming coalitions of the willing in their towns, cities, and nations for a kingdom transformational revolution?

These are the concerns bringing eagles leaders and ministers from more than 20 nations to Dar es Salaam, Tanzania for the Global Faith Coalition World Congress on Building the 21st-Century Church. You are invited to join us in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania 20th-23rd of November. Come and let's discuss strategic kingdom ideas, insights, revelations and strategy to prepare us for a ten years global kingdom invasion and transformational agenda.

I don't know about you, but there is a remnant ready to form a coalition of the willing to foster a kingdom revolution in every nation in the world for Christ. We have what it takes for the task, but at times we haven't been strategic and visionary enough in our thinking, ways of living and doing things.  In some quarters of Christendom, we have propped up children into ranks of Apostles, Prophets, and Pastors when some of them are still acting out of mere zeal and ambition for self-promotion, not for the passions of Christ and His kingdom agenda.

May God help you not to miss the Dar es Salaam, Tanzania encounter. Participation, accommodation, and food are all free for everyone. Oh, God, "kills us and make us alive" come November 20th-23rd. Amen!

The Reason For the Church In A City Is The City

Posted by Global Faith Coalition on February 7, 2019 at 2:59pm

The reason for the church in a city is the city. If we limit ourselves to our church buildings; we have lost the vision!

A church fellowship should be a kingdom "military base" within a City where soldiers of Christ are trained, empowered and unleashed into the city with proper strategy and coordination for an all-out conquest for Christ. The reason the church isn't transforming most cities is that our church buildings have replaced the vision for the city. While we are dancing in our church buildings and waiting for the city to come to our church buildings to be saved, the devil is out there using every platform he can use to keep the people and the city in his captivity. We must have a total rethink about our modus-operandi as God's people. We are losing this generation despite our numbers because we seem to have lost the vision and lacking proper strategy.

That is the fire bringing eagle leaders and believers from more than 20 nations to Dar es Salaam, Tanzania 20th-23rd of November for a millennium encounter. You don't want to miss! Participation is free! Go the event page and register now!

Leadership Challenge

Posted by Global Faith Coalition on October 14, 2018 at 8:37am

And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. Gen 1:2-3

Look at the verse above, read it and meditate on it. You have just seen, read and pondered on the challenge of leadership. Leadership is the need whenever and wherever there is chaos, void, and darkness. The leadership challenge is to change the status quo by introducing light. The primary role of a leader is to bring light where there is chaos, void, and darkness. That is what God did in Genesis 1:3.

When the earth was without form, void, and dark, God stepped out and introduced light. Let there be Light!

The present state of the world is a leadership challenge, and the greatest weapon of Change is not religion, but Light. Christ said, "He is the light of the world." John 8:12. John said, " God is light." 1 John 1:5.

The most significant revelation of God is to know Him as light, living and manifesting His light. Also, the greatest ministry of the church is to demonstrate the light of God. When there is light, voids are filled, order replaces chaos, and light replaces darkness.

In the absence of light, there is darkness, and wherever darkness prevails, people will live comfortably with the status quo. They will be at home with chaos, void, and darkness, and fight anyone who tries to get rid of the above. That's the unfortunate state of our world.

The only reason the actual state of the earth as described in Genesis 1:2 was bare before God is that He is light. Some other person would have been relaxed and comfortable with the situation.

How do you discern the presence of leadership? Leadership is always poised to bring about positive change. Light is the highest leadership blessing. There is no condition we can't deal with if we have light. The difference between where our generation is and where we were supposed to be is Light.

God is releasing a leadership generation to transform communities, societies, and nations. Watch out; they are here! 21st-Century Leadership is about manifesting the world over. Such capacity of leadership the world has never seen will soon be made manifest. Get positioned! Something is about to break out and break forth! May you take your place in this next big thing about to hit this people's planet. Get ready! Get ready! Get ready! I sense an anointing being released and unleashed, may it find you in your proper place in Jesus name! Amen!

Food For Thought For Pastors, Bishops, Apostles!

Posted by Global Faith Coalition on September 25, 2018 at 7:09pm

For those with a vision to establish mega-churches and ministries, let me give you one of the fastest ways to do that without spending on handbills, billboards, and numerous outreach programs. Are you ready?

What would you give me for this idea? Hahahahahahahaha! David asked what they would give the man who will take away the reproach from Israel (1 Samuel 17:26). So, I hope my demand is not out of place. Hahahahahahaha!

To have a mega-church is not difficult as most Pastors, Bishops, and Apostles think. All you have to do is to provide a solution to a mega problem in your city or nation. You can’t afford to be hunting for mice while lions are devouring the land.

One of the mega-problems in every city and nation today is the problem of unemployment. So, to establish a megachurch if that is your passion and calling, employ 500- 1000-10,000 Graduates! If you do that, you would have them, their families and friends open to the whatever you have to share.

Economic realities are such that Christ had to impact Peter's fishing business to gain his attention. Luke 5: 3-11. The way our present churches and ministries are constituted, it seems the only economic beneficiaries are the ministers, and that has got to change.

I once requested the Cameroon National Employment agency in Yaounde to help advertise certain public relation job opportunities within our organization during our Vision 2010 Global Leadership Conference to qualified graduates. We just needed few youths, but to my amazement, more than 500 youths stormed our office in Yaounde the same day and many more within the same week. That's when the reality of the desperation for jobs among the youths of our nation and the world dawned on me. I asked God that day to enable me to employ in the future thousands of youths. Since then, I have been seriously working on a multi-dimensional project with the future capacity of employing more than 10.000 youths.

The 21st-century church must become a significant employer and deploy-er in every nation. You can't expect someone to listen to the word of God continuously on an empty stomach. Jesus said; "Give them something to eat." Matt 14:16. “Where there is no vision, the people perish.” Ponder To Be A Wonder! DrBenard Etta

SAD REALITY!

Posted by Global Faith Coalition on June 6, 2018 at 11:32pm

I've just been pondering why very few people in our church circles love depths (Desire to go deeper in the knowledge, wisdom, and understanding of divine truth). Why are most people satisfied dwelling on the surface of the word when there are depths to explore? The more one is passionate to explore the depths of divine matter; the more frustrated one becomes with our modern day Pentecostalism. I value and celebrate my Pentecostal and charismatic heritage, but every day as I strive to lay hold of the treasures of God's grace and wisdom available for this generation, the more I realize that God has gone beyond our present-day Pentecostal and charismatic movements. We have become a mere reflection of the past moves of God and not a symbol of where God is and where he is going. What a painful and sad reality, but how many people are aware of this sad reality? We have become like Ephraim.

Ephraim, he hath mixed himself among the people; Ephraim is a cake not turned. Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knoweth it not: yea, gray hairs are here and there upon him, yet he knoweth not.,Hosea 7:8-9

Ephriam mixed himself among the people and lost his identity, he became halfbaked, he lost his strength to strangers, and he became outdated, but as the scripture says "yet he knoweth not." Ephriam wasn't conscious of his true spiritual state; he was still busy with church activities and ministerial engagements. Sad!

That's the current state of our present-day Pentecostal and charismatic movements. Despite our fall, we still walk around with a sense of pride thinking we are still at the cutting edge of the move of God when actually we are more than 30 years behind. Oh God, save us! We need to call for solemn assemblies! "The glory has departed from Israel!" God has gone past where we are camping. We need an urgent catch-up, but how can this be possible without direction? How can we have direction when we are not listening to God and his messengers? God save us!

IT IS TIME TO CALL FOR SOLEMN ASSEMBLIES!

Who knoweth if he will return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him; even a meat offering and a drink offering unto the Lord your God?
Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly:Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet. Let the priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O Lord, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God? JOEL 2:14-17

Easter Message! 2018

Posted by Global Faith Coalition on March 31, 2018 at 12:40pm

But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ. Philippians 3:7-8

If all the fanfare about Easter doesn't culminate to the above experience, then it is another form of pretense. Yes, He died, yes, He rose again, Alleluya! But what is the meaning of it all if it leaves us the same in our way of thinking, living and doing things?

Christ didn't die and was buried, and rose again after three days just for us to put on fancy clothes to a religious service somewhere in the name of commemorating easter. He didn't go through all he went through just to offer us three days of meaningless activities in our churches that changes nothing in the way people think, live and do things. The death and resurrection of Christ is an indication that God means business. The question is, what business?

To understand the business I am talking about, we have to revisit the genesis for a revelation of God's original plan and expectation for making us (Male and Female) in his image and likeness. Without this foundation, we would be dancing when we should be sober. This Easter is the number 2018 since Christ ascended to heaven. When the history of an event is that long, what serious people do is not just to celebrate, but to deliberate on the achievements within the 2018 years and the task in the now and tomorrow. Evaluation is what we should be doing; both in our personal lives and the world at large.

As for the Apostle Paul, after careful consideration of all Christ did for him and humanity, his resolve was penned down in the following words. "But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ."
What about you?

When we have time in the future, we will look at "THE EXCELLENCY OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF CHRIST," which compelled the educated Apostle Paul, who studied under one of the brightest minds of his time by name Gamaliel, to rubbish everything he once thought was gain and counted them as loss and dung just to win Christ. Acts 22:3.

May we use this Easter period to examine ourselves whether we are the satisfaction of the travail of his soul. Isaiah 53:11. Happy Easter! DrBenard Etta

The 'SIN' Of Denominationalism!

Posted by Global Faith Coalition on February 24, 2018 at 11:58pm

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!

WE ARE LOSING OUR GENERATION BECAUSE.........

Posted by Global Faith Coalition on February 24, 2018 at 11:54pm

The "cheap grace" messages we hear today leaves us shuttling between our homes, job sites, the church and supermarkets, end of story. It doesn't instill in us the courage to undertake missions to hellholes since we are taught that ours is to enjoy, after all, what else when "Christ did it all."

Missionaries and apostolic pioneers who are reaching the hinterlands under challenging circumstances are looked upon as "graceless individuals since they don't have the fancy and flashy things to also showoff."

Where are the young men and women who made missions to the dying world famous? Where are the men and women who lived on 40% of their earnings and gave out 60% to support mission efforts in the hellholes of the world? They are scarce and rare to find, our cheap grace messages have made normal Christian experiences to be abnormal in the eyes of today’s generation.

Everything about ministry today is Pastoral. Stay in the urban centers, rent or build a house called church, get some folks inside and teach them for ages without ever graduating them. Live a soft and risk-free life and surround yourself with the best of comfort and convenience. That's grace to this spoiled generation!

What's the consequence? We are losing this generation of boys and girls and men and women despite the technology we have; they are perishing in record numbers. Our churches are full of people who worship themselves and use God as "Father Christmas" to achieve their carnal ambitions. Once they are blessed with the things of this life, they become arrogant, boastful and proud. You can't teach them anything anymore since they have made money. They come to fellowship the days they choose and leave when they want; after all, "it is the church that needs their money." I laugh!

Brethren, Christ didn't face the cross because he lacked grace, but because he had the grace to endure for the salvation of humankind. Grace is not grease for an easy life, but the ability to stay strong despite challenges in the pursuit of purpose. Paul the Apostle was not beaten and jailed several times because he lacked the grace to escape those hurdles to live a more comfortable life, but because he had the grace to go all out for the Lord no matter the matter. Something is definitely wrong with our version of the gospel today! We are losing this generation, God help us! I love the hymn below; it resonates with what I know the Bible teaches.

Hymn

Far, far away, in heathen darkness dwelling,
Millions of souls forever may be lost;
Who, who will go, salvation’s story telling,
Looking to Jesus, counting not the cost?

“All pow’r is given unto me,
All pow’r is given unto me,
Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel,
And lo, I am with you always.”

See o’er the world, wide open doors inviting:
Soldiers of Christ, arise and enter in!
Christians, awake! your forces all uniting,
Send forth the Gospel, break the chains of sin.

“Why will ye die?” the voice of God is calling,
“Why will ye die?” re-echo in His name:
Jesus hath died to save from death appalling,
Life and salvation therefore go proclaim.

May God send another awakening to the church, we pray in Jesus name! Share! Share! Share! Spread the fire!

ACT NOW!

Posted by Global Faith Coalition on February 24, 2018 at 11:50pm

Noah didn't just believe God; he obeyed God. Your preservation and distinction are not in your beliefs but your obedience. When praying, listen and act. Don't be stupid! Some of you are waiting on God when God is waiting for you.

Noah built an ark, and the ark became his escape and the salvation of his family of eight. Imagine the time it took Noah to get that ark ready and the insults he received from shortsighted individuals. Ponder!

You should be doing something now to save yourself and others. Christianity is not stupidity! What is that thing the Lord told you to do but you have been procrastinating, but attending vigils praying for God's intervention? God's intervention in the life of Noah and his family was the day he told him to build an ark. If Noah failed to obey, the unfortunate would have happened, and then people would say, "but he was a good Christian." Not knowing that even though people judged "Pastor Noah" to be a good pastor, only God knew that he was walking in disobedience.

I believe in the power of prayers. I started my ministry as an intercessor and coordinated one of the legendary intercessory movement under the full gospel mission in Manyu, and 80% of those who walked in that team and those we raised are today firebrand ministers. No story, no glory! However, in my 32 years of walking with the Lord, I have also come across miserable prayer warriors who prayed and prayed but ended as preys. Why? They believed but didn't obey (They failed to act).

Re-positioning the church is impossible without Re-positioning the fivefold ministry!

Posted by Global Faith Coalition on February 24, 2018 at 11:44pm

The challenge of repositioning the fivefold ministry today is that so many individuals purporting to be ministers of God don't even know what ministry is about. To some of them, ministry is proclaiming scriptures, praying for folks, gathering people under a roof and lording over them, and in the process, make money, build a church house, get some invitations, acquire wealth, then die and hand over to the children. The above lie about the ministry is a curse holding back the advancement of the kingdom on several fronts.

You can spend a month in most cities today searching and searching for where you can find churches or ministries that care about God's "marching orders," the search may leave you in tears. At a time when we should be mourning, calling for solemn assemblies to weep before God for a heaven-sent visitation, you have some others going about ordaining and releasing more charlatans to devour what the grasshoppers have left.

Shout a louder amen and claim a miracle and other pulpit rhetorics have replaced real word exposition and elucidation, which awakens the desire in people to get right with the Lord, discover his divine purpose and to fulfill it, answer the call for missions and marketplace ministry, intercede for a global move of God, etc.

There are those who believe that speaking out is disturbing the unity of the body of Christ. Laughable! Is the unity of the body of Christ a compromise of light and darkness? Who says everyone who professes Christ is a member of the body of Christ? What do we understand as the unity of the body of Christ? I hope to revisit the above themes as soon as I got the time.

Most young men and women entering the ministry today are in real trouble to distinguish wheat from the chaff, and to know what is God and what is flesh. Since most of them are also looking for what pampas and resonates with the vanity in their hearts, they seem to lean towards the detestable and abominable. But the good news is that, in the midst of the gross darkness hovering over several quarters of Christendom, God is raising a remnant people, and the world will soon hear from them.

There is a generation of leaders kept and preserved by God to live in this era with a mandate to train and mentor these remnant people God is raising.The sons of Issachar had 200 heads, but they were in command of their brethren who were in their thousands because they understood the times and what Israel was supposed to do.

The Lord is doing something silently, and the perfection of what he is doing will soon speak in cities and nations around the world. There is a generation being prepared for the battles of the last days; they will soon roar. We can't wait to see their revealing! Proper alignment is the rallying call!

THE MARK OF THE SPIRIT OF GOD!

Posted by Global Faith Coalition on February 12, 2018 at 9:37pm

The most important mark of the Spirit of God in a person is not the ability to speak in unknown tongues or to perform signs and wonders. I know I just lit a fire in a "religious beehive." Nerves are on edge, and religious idols have received a signal of an eminent bombshell. Listen, I speak in tongues more than most of you, and I don't only believe in signs and wonders, but I witness them in my life and ministry. So, don't get me wrong, I am not against the above. I am merely led to set the records straight.

Let's begin by asking this question. What is Spirit? I didn't say who or what is the Spirit. Wahala deyoooh!

Spirit is the true essence of .......Meaning, the spirit of ...….. is the unseen dimension of ......that represent the nature of... ....

Thus, when you have the Spirit of God, His essence in you will make you uncomfortable with whatever God is against and in agreement with what God is in accord with. Did you get that? The reason the above is possible is that when the Spirit of God comes into a life, He brings the nature of God into that life. And, the nature of a .........defines the character of.,...And the character of. ......defines the likes and dislikes of.............

You can't say that you have the Spirit of God and be at peace with what God isn't at peace with, and have issues with what God is in accord with.

The decay in our Pentecostal and charismatic circles today can be appropriately addressed if we stop using tongues, signs, and wonders to cover our nakedness just like Adam and Eve used leaves to cover their nakedness. If the Spirit of God is in you, it will never place you against God, but for what God is for and after.

We can speak in tongues and perform "magic, "signs, wonders while the true essence of the Spirit is not present.

Balaam could still prophesy, but..........

Let's get back to the things that matter. Enough of all the rubbish!

Brethren, it is wise to know that every religion has a spirit, which backs it. The spirit of every faith operates in the supernatural and perform signs to convince its captives that its illusions and delusions are the truth. That's why testimonies of miracles are not limited to God's people. Everywhere you find religious addiction; you would see some supernatural events. That makes it dangerous to use manifestations or miracles as indications of the Spirit of God.

Man wet e get hear make e hear! High-level deception is out there, get intimate with the Holy Spirit. Get to know him! After more than 30 years in the faith, manifestations don't move me anymore. I have seen all kinds of "gymnastics" in Christendom. When you are jumping up and down, I will wait until you land. God help us! DrBenard Etta

BEWARE OF NEW AGE TEACHINGS ON GRACE!

Posted by Global Faith Coalition on August 13, 2017 at 7:58am

Silence No More! God is not a brand, so he does not need rebranding. That's what some are trying to do through their version of the Message of Grace. They take God for a product that needs repackaging. God is perfect, and we can't improve on perfect. Though we can operate in creative ways in our dynamics of reaching the world, we must never think we can make God look better than he is to appeal to those who can only join the church if we present a version of the message they want. The truth of

BEWARE OF THE WRONG MIXTURE!

Posted by Global Faith Coalition on August 13, 2017 at 7:52am

Every "beautiful" and well-packaged thing you see is a combination of other related things. There is a grave danger when we mix unrelated things (wrong mixture) out of a desperation for what we define as "success in life and ministry." It is so common today to find several emerging leaders unconsciously giving themselves to the above error. And, the consequence is what we see today everywhere, ministries and churches without any real identity and sense of direction.

To prepare a meal, you need to know the required spices; you can't just use whatever spice you lay hands on. Wisdom is profitable to direct! In my 32 years in the faith, I can tell you without mincing words, even before I stepped into my calling, I didn't allow just "anyone" passing by with a Bible and white collar to place his or her hands on my head. Did you get that! It has nothing to do with pride, but with understanding. What if I tell you that within these 32 years not more than four hands have been placed on my head. That may be why I still have my sense of reason with me. I haven't lost it to senseless, baseless and deluded religiosity.

Some of you reading me, it seems anyone who passes by you and manifests some supernatural acts is automatically a father to you even if you have no clue about his foundation, beliefs, and practices. I Dey Sorry-oooh! E pass me for laugh!

Hands have been laid on some of you, and you are closer to having a bald head, yet you are still seeking for more hands on your head. Anyone who comes to town and does something supernatural, you submit to the person, weeks after when another comes, you also submit. I call that "Confusion extravaganza!"

While writing this piece, my heart goes out to the several young preachers in Cameroon who don't know "left from right." I weep for them! I can't do much to help them now since some of their orientation about ministry is "crazy," but I'll not stop praying for them. What a waste of kingdom potential to have hundreds of young people in ministry who have little or no direction, wisdom, and understanding! Today they are prophets; tomorrow they are regional and area commanders. I wonder where they got that from! Whatever glitters, is taken for gold and before long that's what becomes their new direction.

You can't mix old wine with the new! The Lord is saying to some of you reading this; you need to know the right mixture for your life and ministry, be careful with the wrong combination. It may lead to death. Ponder! DrBenard Etta

Popular ministry Versus True Ministry!

Posted by Global Faith Coalition on August 13, 2017 at 7:49am

PONDER!

There is a system of "popular ministry," which I and many others have refused to fit into, it may be popular, but it isn't for the remnant. It has been "built" through the years by religious "craftsmen, " and it is very profitable financially and materially speaking. It looks flashy to the carnal eyes but empty when viewed from a high spiritual vantage point.

It is glamorous in its appearance that's why many people flock to it, but it is bankrupt in God's kingdom character, vision, and agenda. It is self-driven, not Spirit-led. It acquires whatever and goes wherever its money and wealth can afford, not necessarily what is of strategic interest to God's heartbeat. Its leadership style resembles the secular system of elite politics, where "giants" rule in countries of "midgets."

It has spread itself the world over, but it is a symbol of "Babel." Its grip on millions of souls is the reason why the Spirit of the Lord is restlessly stirring up a spiritual revolution against its tide. The revolution will sweep through the landscape of the Christian church like a tsunami leaving no stone unturned.

I see it coming! Here is wisdom

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

It's time for another mass Exodus, not from Egypt, but from every religious Babel. There are most of you young men and women reading me, God's call is on your life, but out of naivety, pure ignorance, confusion and a lack of clear direction, you are taking your pattern and submitting to a system of ministry that heaven seeks to uproot. Rev 3:16-18, Jere 1:10.

The hour we are living in requires great discernment in everything we do. We can be zealous, but unconsciously participating in building a type of Babel. That's why; It isn't just enough to pray; we have to watch and pray. Mark 14:38. Praying without watching is playing. Ponder! DrBenard Etta

In A Time Of Universal Deceit, Standing For The Truth Is A Revolutionary Act!

Posted by Global Faith Coalition on August 13, 2017 at 7:47am

The power of the church is Christ, and Christ is the Truth. I'm still wondering and pondering why there is so much disdain for the truth among people who claim to be part of the church of Jesus Christ. Why has the truth gradually become "foreign" to many gospel ministers and Christians alike? Who are we representing? The fall of Ahab in the Old Testament was due to his displeasure for the truth and love for lies. He preferred his 400 lying Prophets to Micaiah who was a voice of truth. (1 Kings 22) and unfortunately, that led to his demise.

The church needs voices of truth today than in any other time in history. Micaiah was one man against 400 Prophets of profits, but the truth in his mouth prevailed. We cease being the church if we hate the truth and take pleasure in falsehood. So many people are asking for the path to a spiritual revolution in the church and nations. The answer is simple! Just bring back the truth and give it the place it deserves in the church.

When the truth is murdered in the church, and Christ is wounded in the house of his friend, what do you expect of the society, which was supposed to gain light from the church? That's where we are now! After 32 Years in the faith, I can tell you, I am more committed now by the grace of the Almighty God to see a spiritual revolution against the religion of falsehood than I have ever been.

I know what that implies, it sometimes means you go without expecting "tithes and offerings," why? People who love falsehood don't support a revolution where the restoration of truth is the focus. It may also mean losing so many religious friends, etc. But that's too little of a price to pay as compared to the one Christ paid to bring the revolution of salvation, redemption, and restoration to humanity.

I call on all voices of truth to raise their voices and to spare not, the hope of this generation is hanging on your faithfulness to live, stand and speak the truth whenever the opportunity presents itself. Let Christ be our inspiration; he was ready to lay down his life; we too should be willing if that is what IT MIGHT TAKE to remain faithful to this noble cause!

Greetings, from Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, the New Front of the revolution. Watch out for facebook live revolutionary moments still cooking! Have a blessed weekend! DrBenard Etta

DECLARING WAR AGAINST THE SPIRIT OF RELIGION!

Posted by Global Faith Coalition on August 13, 2017 at 7:45am

The spirit of religion is the real "wahala" on earth today, not Satan as most people presume. The forces of darkness employ religion in carrying out their heinous plans and agenda more than they use demons. To move a people forward, you have to liberate them from the spirit of religion.The reason the spirit of religion is so dangerous is that it always appears as an exponent of God's kingdom, but actually, it is an opponent of it. It wasn't the devil that crucified Christ, nor persecuted the early church, but the spirit of religion.

What is the spirit of religion?

The spirit of religion constitutes all the "things" we do in God's name, but not based on truth and far from what bothers God's heart. The spirit of religion builds churches, ordained ministers, organize gospel crusades and conferences, baptize people, and do many things in God's name as long as the truth is not part of the agenda.

For instance, the spirit of religion may say, "let's come together and pray for revival," I still dey laugh! However, when the truth about revival is presented, it opposes it. "Let's train ministers," but when the truth about training and ordaining ministers according to the truth is revealed, it opposes it. The spirit of religion loves church activities, in fact, it sponsors them as long as the truth is not part of the agenda.

Why do you think some ministers of God face real opposition while others are literally unopposed?

Listen! It isn't a matter of anointing or grace, but of truth. Those with the truth are targets anywhere not those with money, fame or whatever.

Christ said to those who believed in him, " Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." John 8:31-32.

Get this, in the above biblical text; Christ wasn't speaking to some unbelievers, but to Jews who already believed in him. He was pointing them to what really matters. Why? The reason is that merely believing in Christ does not set anyone free. You don't have to look far, just look at most Christian nations you know or the multitudes sitting in most churches, are they free? Do you know why they are not free? Most of them are being protected from the truth. 90% of people within churches and denominations are ignorant of the truth. Some of their "leaders" spiritually are like prison wardens employed by the spirit of religion to keep them in religious cells of spiritual ignorance.

When you are a carrier of the truth, such religious Synagogues will have nothing to do with you because they are scared of an upset in their private detention camps.The devil is a liar; we will fight and resist them with the truth until most of their captives are free.

The spirit of religion is not against people believing in Jesus, in fact, it patronizes that, but its greatest battle is to prevent them from knowing the truth because that is what brings freedom. Some of you may be sincerely mistaken in your religious zeal, which may be void of true knowledge. Such religious zeal empowers the spirit of religion. Some of you sow into the spirit of religion unconsciously, but the last thing you would do is to transfer the same commitment to support the cause of truth. Do you know why? The forces of darkness know that as long as millions of good people ignorantly support and propagate blind religion, humanity will remain in bondage.

The United States of America, Nigeria, South Africa, India, etc are presently overburdened by the spirit of religion, but God is raising a generation of Christ revolutionaries to liberate the nations from the spirit of religion and their greatest weapon is the truth. Would you join this revolution? If interested, in box me! DrBenard Etta

THE COMING SHAKE UP!

Posted by Global Faith Coalition on August 13, 2017 at 7:41am

To the Pharisees and Sadducees, every day in the temple was business as usual as long as the people mark present and the temple bureaucracy keeps running as a smooth piece of machine. The rot inside and outside the temple meant nothing to them. In fact, it was none of their business. After all, that wasn't why they were there and worrying about changing the status quo doesn't increase the weekly offerings, but may diminish it. But when Christ walked into the temple, he caused an upset and started flogging the status quo. That's what a real spiritual revolution brings. It causes an upset and brings a transformation of the status quo. Is the Pentecostal and charismatic movement ready for a shake up? I'm asking because an inevitable shake up is going to hit the movement and there is going to be a serious shake up. Get ready! The tables of the dove sellers and money changers are being over turned. I see a rude awakening coming to the backslidden bureaucracy of the Pentecostal and charismatic movement. It is going to be too unpleasant to those who are feeding fat from the present status quo. Get ready! Get ready! Get ready for a spiritual revolution. DrBenard Etta

THE SIN OF IRRESPONSIBILITY!

Posted by Global Faith Coalition on August 13, 2017 at 7:39am

The sin of sister Sodom (pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness) Ezekiel 16: 49.

It is gross irresponsibility to be indifferent to the plight of the dying world and such irresponsibility is a sin. Everyone wants to go to heaven, but Christ left heaven to earth to bring salvation, redemption, and restoration. That is the true character of the Christian faith and the spirit of Christ revolution (Leaving your "heaven" to the "earth" of humanity).

When Christianity is reduced to materialism for self-aggrandisement, and the church loses the message capable of inspiring people to leave their "paradise on earth" to reach billions of people in the valley of decision or to support those doing so wholeheartedly, you will have ISIS, Boka-haram, Gross immorality and atrocities of all sorts as we see today.

Irresponsibility is the opposite of responsibility. Responsibility is taking advantage of whatever ability God has given you to invest towards the salvation of your generation, while irresponsibility is simply indifference, complacency, and passivity in the face of gross decadence. When we come together in our church and ministry strongholds, seeing what our world is fast becoming, the multi million dollar question is, what do we discuss? What preoccupies us? What is keeping us awake at night?

A gang leader once revealed why he left his church after accepting Christ and went back to the street. He said, during his days in the gang, every day was purpose driven, and their meetings were designed to discuss strategy, but when he became part of a church, he learned nothing that gave him the commitment to something serious and worth dying for. In fact, all they were telling him was how he could get rich quick when he already had riches but was seeking for meaning and purpose for his life. Isn't this true of most of our gatherings today?

I know your house is not on fire and so, you are busy having fun. My friend, I'm not anti-enjoyment, but for your information, if your neighbor's house is on fire and you are indifferent, don't be surprised if the fire gets to your house. I'm speaking in parables. Some of you just want to acquire and acquire to look fat or to join the club of the who, who's. The question is, what happens when your city or nation go up in flames? Hahahaha! I know most of you are not thinking about that and some of you are saying God forbid. I laugh! God forbid is not going to be the solution because it isn't God who is the problem but us. And, what is going to happen soon in most nations where Christianity has been reduced to something else, will be a rebuke from above. If "words" don't wake us in this generation, then "war" is what we are inviting to awaken us.

The world is on fire, where are the "fire fighters?" Greetings from Dar es Salaam Tanzania!

Meditate on the text below and find time to read the entire 22 Samuel 11:

And Uriah said unto David, The ark, and Israel, and Judah, abide in tents; and my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord are encamped in the open fields; shall I then go into mine house, to eat and to drink, and to lie with my wife? As thou livest, and as thy soul liveth, I will not do this thing. 2 Sam 11:11

Ponder!

You Don't Need Saul's Armour! Use What God Has Given You!

Posted by Global Faith Coalition on August 13, 2017 at 7:35am

That's All You Need!

Why rely on an armor that didn't help King Saul to face Goliath? What is really wrong with this generation? Why rely on methods, which are not working? David put on Saul's Armor out of respect but realized later that facing Goliath didn't require the sophistication of Saul's armor, but simple faith in what God gave him. He returned Saul's armor and took up what God gave him and that brought Goliath down. Forget the sophistication, stopped being pushed around. Spend time with God and intimate yourself with what he has given you, then step out in simple faith and see God work wonders. Let David's Example Inspire You!

There are several Goliaths today in our cities and nations making a mockery of God's people, what we need now is not political correctness, nice armors, titles and people with all the theological degrees the world offers. We need David's generation of individuals, trained by God in the closet, but equipped with wisdom and strategy to stop the mockeries of the Goliaths of this era. David was not in the regular army of Israel, but he was God's man for the hour. His brothers laughed at his passion and willingness to confront Goliath. They did so because they judged him based on his age and not his experience with God in battles. They were not there when through the strength of God he slew the Bear and Leopard that tried to devour his sheep. When he saw Goliath making a mockery of the entire army of Israel, something inside of him could not accommodate the insult and he rose to the occasion and killed Goliath, stopping the mockery against Israel.

I sense the anointing right now! I see a generation of Davids rising in the nations of the world. Don't look for them among the regular army of religious people, don't expect to see them wearing Saul's armor, but the oil on their life will empower them to do the unexpected. Watch out! They are here! The David's generation! I have a word to the Goliaths of the 21st Century, your days are numbered! Glory to the Most High God! Let the revolution begin!
