Alleluia!

April was indeed a month of much fruit.

Read the testimony from Eket- Nigeria

1. For the race is not to the swift, neither is the battle to the strong,

   
   15 For he says to Moses,
   “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy,
   and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”
   16 It does not, therefore, depend on human desire or effort, but on God’s mercy .

   May u produce far more than your efforts can account for this month in the name of Jesus!
   May your health improve speedily! may the life of the Vine flow unhindered through you.
   May your dead opportunities come alive, as we celebrate His ressurection in the name of Jesus!

   I held on to this words that God should give me a testimony this month .. Doctors says I should not try to delivery my baby by normal delivery cos i had the my first baby 15 months ago thru CS.. God helped me to have the baby without CS.. the devil attacked my marriage 2 days after to break it..but God restored it. 7 days after d delivery i went to the clinic and the nurse saw that they forgot sanitary pad in me.

   I want to thank God for this prayer..” ..It does not, therefore, depend on human desire or effort, but on God’s mercy . May u produce far more than your efforts can account for this month in the name of Jesus!” God’s mercy has kept me this month.

   You can always count on God. You can always believe God’s Word. And you can always trust in God’s promises.

2. A dear daughter was blessed with a Toyota Rav4 in church- that’s a miracle, if you know where we are coming from.
3. One of my pastor’s was given a car by a brother. The strange aspect of the story is that the guy who was giving had only one car! But God, he said, did not give him rest. Wow! That must be the God of the ravens; may He pay you a visit this Month, in the name of Jesus!
4. A sister got a very good and promising job in the United Kingdom.
5. A brother moved from gate man to graduate in Kenya.
6. A sister still got promoted in Lagos even when the list was shortened by 70%.
7. Our trip to Israel was quite productive; thanks to our team leader, Pastor Mrs I. E. Chukwuogo, that made it happen, under God.
8. Our first prophetic word service was awesome! It was full and fulfilling. Never had it so before.
9. We had numerous travelling mercies in our journeys.

But in May, I hear “Significant Elevation”. For the word says: “But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.” (Psa 92:10, KJV)

• Somebody, may your gift be sellable this month, in the name of Jesus!
• May you be promoted!
• May you be raised high in honour, in the name of Jesus!
• May your health be revived, in the name of Jesus!
• May a blessing come upon you that will continually refresh you, in the name of Jesus!

There is a blessing called refresher. I read a report recently; I carried it all over the place because each time I read it, I’m refreshed. May you receive, in this month, a refreshing blessing, in the name of Jesus!

Blessings

Pastor Alao

Thank God for the progress we’ve made to acquire the strategic property for the church. The response looks poor, but we are encouraged. [ We still need 14.5 million naira to own that property]

Pray for us and plant your seeds, if the Lord asks you to.

Alleluia!

What a mighty God we serve. The month of March was indeed a month of strong evidence in many sense. Below are the testimonies shared.

1. A brother got a confirmation for his job in the US.
2. A brother had a baby born safely to his family in Uganda.
3. A brother is thankful that after four painful years of waiting for a child God is giving them a boucing baby girl in Uganda.
4. A sister finished her course, and brought her fiance for introduction in Kenya.
5. A sister got her visa to stay in Malaysia.
6. A brother’s daughter got a Job in the US.
7. One year debt was settled in Warri.
8. A friend in Belgium see’s great improvement in his relationship with his family members.
9. The mission to the UK was spiritually very fruitfull.
10. The meeting in Ebonyi was profound in its impact.
11. My wife and two of my daughters added a year.

But April says the Lord is to bear ‘MUCH FRUIT’ for it is written

4 Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.
5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.

The word that struck me is the word ‘REMAIN IN ME’. Try as I may, I found that it is passive in nature, what came to me is that ‘productivity is not a function of excessive labour, but strong connectivity’.

May you be strongly connected in the name of Jesus! May you accomplish in this month with ease in the name of Jesus!

From where i did this mail, two common words in their vocabulary, is WORK and Hardwork. I believe in working and working hard, you cannot be a medical doctor without working hard at least not in my country. But there is what is called favour.

For the race is not to the swift, neither is the battle to the strong,
15 For he says to Moses,
“I will have mercy on whom I have mercy,
and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”

It does not, therefore, depend on human desire or effort, but on God’s mercy. May you produce far more than your efforts can account for this month in the name of Jesus! May your health improve speedily! may the life of the Vine flow unhindered through you. May your dead opportunities come alive, as we celebrate His ressurection in the name of Jesus!

Blessings.
Pastor Alao.

Pray.

1. For my friend that had surgery in Holland on Tuesday.
2. Pray for the isreal mission.
3. Pray for provision to buy a choice property.
4. This easter sunday i will be serving the UNLIMITED LIFE COMMUNION in Doulos christain church; if you are in Port Harcourt join me to celebrate.

Alleluia!

February was indeed a month of Early Help!

1. A lady called me from Benin City and said, “When you see Jesus, thank Him for me”. I said “Mama! What did Jesus do?” She said, “My three (3) daughters got engaged and picked their various wedding dates”. Alleluia! That is triple dose! It will get to your turn in the mighty name of Jesus.
2. A sister got two (2) jobs in the United Kingdom.
3. A dear Senior Christian Brother had great financial help in the United States of America.
4. A Pastor recovered from three (3) weeks of coma in Kenya.
5. A brother had his desire for a son granted in Kenya, there was safe mother and safe baby, Alleluia!
6. The KAIROS Training was very successful, though very challenging.
7. A brother got a job in Shell Petroleum Company after serving so well during the KAIROS training. Indeed, February was also a month of early reward!
8. A brother received help in paying his debts.
9. A brother had a great help with his properties and great improvement in the well being of his daughter.
10. A dear friend in Warri got a VISA to the USA, despite his concern and apprehension.
11. A brother was delivered from snake bite, as he mistakenly stepped on a poisonous snake in his country home in Abia.
12. Somebody bought a car for a Pastor in Benin City.

But, in March God seems poised to do greater things. For the scripture says in

Psalms 126:1-6 (KJV)
1 When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream. 2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD hath done great things for them. 3 The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad. 4 Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the south. 5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. 6 He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.

There are miracles that provoke outsiders to assist you in thanking God! Somebody, you will experience that kind of miracle in March, in Jesus Name!

Blessings that are contagious and visible shall meet you this month in the name of Jesus!

Every altar opposed to a visible and manifest favour over your life, I command to split in the name of Jesus!

Every hand stretched to arrest or stop your blessings, I command to wither in the name of Jesus!

It is usually a challenge for me to do an exegesis of my main text because of space, but looking at these text, there are some features you can see of a flourishing life.

(i) For your life to blossom or flourish, you need to see. What you can see, you will receive (Jer. 1:11,12)

(ii) Your need to live significantly, go beyond you to others in your blessings. (Gen. 12:1-3)

(iii) You need strong evidence, the gospel is in demonstration. “People do not care what you know, until they see how you care”. (Psa. 126:2,3)

(iv) Sow continually (Psa. 126:5)

(v) Steady Harvest (Psa. 126:6)

Welcome to March! Our month of Strong Evidence in Jesus name.

Blessings.

Pastor Alao

(i) Pray for our Port Harcourt Church. A neighboring Church is asking us to buy over their properties, and everybody says, “It’s a good buy”. Please pray for us. We need supernatural supply.

(ii) Pray for our mission to the United Kingdom and Israel. My heart is indicting a good matter; ask Jehovah to make my tongue the pen of a ready writer.

Alleluia!!
2012 is indeed going to be a year of reward. January had been quite exciting, known generally to be a month where people experience lack because of the huge expenses characterizing the yuletide season, and school fees of children’s resumption. But quite uncharacteristically, many people I know had experienced supernatural supply and abundance. Alleluia!
1. Two brethren passed their Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN) Exams. For one of the sisters, the courses she came home weeping, that she had performed poorly, were the courses she passed well.
2. A brother got a VISA to the United Kingdom after three (3) attempts, it does not seem like a miracle but he was greatly encouraged. That at last the siege was broken in the year of Reward. Yours will break too in the name of Jesus!
3. Our Television programme started by the help of God. We have had two (2) episodes and the responses had being terrific.
4. Our programmes, When Prophets Speak, both at the Port Harcourt and Benin Churches held with profound presence, the impact and harvest are beginning to be seen.
5. God granted us and the brethren journey mercies in our numerous travels both within and without.
6. The kids are all back in school, all fees paid by the help of God.
7. Our office in Port Harcourt was seriously furnished by a family with imported Dubai furniture, Let somebody shout alleluia!
8. The times of prayer and fast, throughout the month of January was profound and fruitful.
9. The fuel subsidy drama came and went and somehow God kept us and brought us through it for now.
10. The hand of God is upon Nigeria, and He is dealing with the new face of terror called Boko Haram, surely it will come to an end in the name of Jesus!
11. As I do this mail, preparation are 90% as we host the International Training Programme called “KAIROS”. Pray, that by God we’ll leap over this wall in the mighty name of Jesus.
But, February, says the Lord, shall be a month of “Early Help” for Psalms 46:1-6 says “1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. 2 Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; 3 Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah. 4 There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High. 5 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early. 6 The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.
Somebody, your help and helpers will arrive earlier than you expect in the name of Jesus. You shall not be stranded, you shall not be ashamed, you shall not suffer loss in the name of Jesus! Through God in this month with an Extra day, you shall experience Extraordinary speed in the name of Jesus!
Waiting to share in your testimonies
Blessings.
