You and Easter

Written by Mercy Abuaja

Oh yes, Easter is around the corner and Christians all over the world, I believe are getting set for this Easter break. Some will travel to see old time friends, some will go to the beach for picnic and some to have their bodies tanned, some will spend so much to host a party, all in the name of Easter: and so many other things not mentioned. Easter celebration to many is about wining and dining. Thus the title You and Easter.

Is that all that this period Easter means to you? Sadly some Christians who are supposed to be light to the people, are the most guilty of it. Are you celebrating because you owed a debt and could not pay and someone else did it for you or because somebody died in your place?

Easter period should be for sober reflection. John Chapter 3 verse 16 says for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have eternal life.God gave out the only son that he had for you and me. To save us from damnation , he had to die the most shameful death,death on the cross like a criminal which he was not.  How many of you that are celebrating Easter can give out your pet for sacrifice of any form?  How many of you can give up any of your child as a ransom for another person?

Easter is all about the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. All that he did was because he loves us.  How much love do you have for him? He cares for you.Do you care for him?. This is the time to reflect on your activities and see where you have missed it and make it right with God. As you make your way right with him or should you decide to make him your Lord and personal savior, he is willing to accept you. There is no sin that God can not forgive you of.  He is your father. If you have accepted him say this prayer after me.

Heavenly father, I accept you as my Lord and personal savior; please have mercy on me. I repent and come back to you. Cleanse me from all filthiness and write my name in the book of life in Jesus Name Amen. If you have done it sincerely rejoice, and look for a bible believing church to fellowship with. Remain faithful in God's presence. Jesus Christ is Lord.

Rev  Frank Eboagu Senior Pastor, Founder Good Ground Bible Ministry,Visioner Living Water Annual Crusade


 Living Water Crusade is an annual crusade that is always held a week before Easter. The crusade has three components - (a) Free Medical  Care (b) Ministers' Conference and the Crusade itself where the word is taught and believers receive miracles and blessings from God. The Living Water crusade is drawn from John Chapter 4 verse 10 and John Chapter 7 verse 38.

Free Medical Care:                                                                                                                            
The free Medical Care is a forum where qualified Doctors and Nurses are invited to attend to the less privileged people for free. Drugs and treatment are free . It is a non denominational welfare package. Everyone is welcome. During this time Doctors are invited to give health talks.

Ministers' Conference                                                                                                                            

The Ministers' Conference is designed to build an end time army for the Lord.  Training is free. Seasoned Men of God are invited to strengthen and enhance the capacities of other ministers who in turn return to their different Churches/Ministries to implement all that they were taught during the conference. The following  topics will be taught at the 2013 Ministers' Conference.

a.What is Ministry?
b.What are the pitfalls in Ministry and how do we avoid them?
c.The glorious End time Minister
d.The main focus.

The conference will run for two days, Friday and Saturday.

Crusade Proper
 
 The crusades are usually held in the evenings and  as in the case of the Ministers' Conference, different Men of God are invited to minister to souls. People are led to Christ Jesus. Some people are delivered from the shackles of the enemy. This period is always glorious and God has used various vessels to meet the needs of his people every year.

The vessel God chose and has been using for this task in the past ten years is Reverend Frank Eboagu of Good Ground Bible Ministry, Satellite Town Lagos, Nigeria

True Promotion 2

Written By Mercy Abuaja, excerpts from a sermon by Rev. Frank Eboagu 

 We continue on true promotion like it was said in our first edition. So we will go further to understand what true promotion means. If you really want God to promote you, you must be ready to exercise patience. God does things in His own time. The fact remains that no one can fault what God does. A lot of what we regard as success are not real success, because they don't last. But whatever God does abides forever. The only reason God will have to reverse His promotion in the life of a man is when the individual goes into sin. Sin brings reproach. That is why the Bible says "Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach unto a people"-Proverbs Chapter 14: 34. To exalt means to promote. Righteousness is a catalyst that accelerates your promotion.

   There is some thing about the righteous which is very interesting -"But the path of the just is as the shinning light that shinneth more and more unto the perfect day", Proverbs Chapter 4 : 18.  In other words, the righteous enjoys continuous promotion. The righteous does not have a better yesterday. The righteous is assured of a better tommorow.

Friend, there is no sort cut to the top. It is right standing before God that provokes your lifting. Those who prefer short cuts have cut short their destinies.

   Another dangerous thing that can hinder your promotion is when you fail to acknowledge God for previous promotions.  You are not really promoted because of your effort.You are promoted because of His mercy and favour. Romans Chapter 9  : 15 - 16, " For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that showeth mercy"

   If indeed you want to be promoted by God, look inward and make things right with God. He says if we confess our sins,  He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1st John Chapter 1: 9. The Bible tells us that the blessing of God makes rich and added no sorrow to it,  Proverbs Chapter 10: 22.

 I pray that God will bring you under the umbrella of His mercy in Jesus name. Amen.

True Promotion

Written By Mercy Abuaja, excerpts from a sermon by Rev. Frank Eboagu 

Last week we dealt on the topic jubilation and ended by saying that you should win a soul so that heaven will jubilate. Hope you have won a soul congratulation. This week we are going to deal with the topic TRUE PROMOTION: PSALM 75:6-7 "For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west nor from the south,  But God is the judge; he putteth down one and setteth up another Psalm:75 6-7.

If you desire promotion there is only one direction to look above,unto God. Any attempt to look else where will be a futile exercise as you may not get what you truly desire. The scripture in the book of Psalm 75:6-7 makes it clear that God is the one who promotes. When God wants to promote you, He does not need to consult man You may lobby man, but you cannot lobby God. God will do what is right and just. One of the things that can position you for promotion is favour.When you find favour before God, He will elevate you. This month you will find favour before god and He will elevate you. Read that Psalm and ask the Holy Spirit the explain it the more to you. Until I come your way next week remained blessed
