ORDINATION 2010

HOW EFFECTIVE IS YOUR COMMUNICATION?

“He who troubles his own house shall inherit the wind:” – Proverbs 11:29a. “A froward man sows strife” – Provs. 16:28a. “But pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones” – 16: 24
Definitely relationships go through pressures and conflicts but if left unresolved, it will leave bitter taste on tongues. We have learnt severally that communication is a good tool for a good marriage but I beg to add that unless a communication is effective and peace oriented, it is useless.
When you engage in communication with your spouse or beloved one you must consider the following:
1. What is the purpose of the meeting or what did you intend to achieve after the communication?
2. Is it a time to rehearse your loved one’s faults, errors and mistakes?
3. Is it a time to listen to understand the pains and aches of your spouse and look for ways to ameliorate it?
4. Is it a time to settle scores, pour out your phynom, threaten and blame rather than taking responsibility of your actions and mistakes?
5. Is it a time to lord it over and impose your rules on your spouse?
Before you engage in any worthwhile discussion with your beloved one after a conflict, you must think things over and be clear of what you intend to see after the discussion. You must resolve in your mind to forgive, to compromise and own up to your own mistakes and apologise, overlook, accept some responsibility and not to engage in apportioning blame. Let your position be to resolve the issue at stake. Plan the structure of the discussion. Picture the reaction of the other spouse and map out how you will counter his/her defence and flaring ups with calmness. You must take time to pray and commit the heart of your spouse, child, friend or colleague into God’s hands. This is because the heart of everyone is in God’s hands and He can turn them wherever He wills.
Start the discussion by drawing a bright future that awaits you all if you reach a peaceful compromise. Choose your words carefully as ‘a word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver’. Even so a word spoken in due season is good because a man will have joy by the answer of his mouth. Each party must think issues over before responding. Remember in Proverbs 15:1, it is written that a soft answer turns away wrath while grievous words stir up anger. Address each issue one by one than muddling all the issues together. This is because your spouse will think you are trying to sweep important things under the carpet. He/she may be confused and forget some important points. Thrash each point out one by one. Both of you must understand what went wrong and how to avoid it next time. It should not be a time where one spouse wants the other to just sit back and swallow all the blame and get the next manual of how to make the other spouse happy. It should not be a time to talk down your spouse. Unfortunate that is the attitude of loads of unbelieving husbands/wives including believing men and women. They do not realise how their wives or husbands are hurting. All they are interested in is to break their spouse’s spirit and bend them to succumb to their instructions. If discussions are not properly handled, it will leave parties more broken, bitter and alienated than ever. It can mess up emotions and that can signal the disintegration of the once good relationship.
What you do after the conversation matters a lot. Do you work out feeling victorious or regretting the discussion? It should not be so. Ensure to come out of your conversation excited, reconciled and with a resolute to work harder not to crush your spouse again. Make up your mind that your next discussion with your spouse is to discuss way forward, your future together, your visions and strategies to work closely together. I pray that the Spirit of God will intervene in marriages going through crisis and minister peace in Jesus name.
Listen sincerely, do not be in a haste to get out all your grudges of yesteryears – such as ‘remember you cheated me several times, you spoke badly to my mum, your eyed my sister, you did not cooperate in bed etc? No. Remember
At the end of a discussion, you should be able to look at your son, husband, wife or whoever and say I realise I made some terrible mistakes, made judgements of you, hurt you, cheated you, lied on you, blamed you falsely, accused you wrongly, maltreated you, denied you of your entitlement, smeared your name etc. I see my own mistakes and I am sorry for hurting you.
In conclusion by all means if you lot feel like crying together do but do not forget to wrap it up by appreciating and telling your loved one something nice. You must set the tone for tomorrow – how to forge on in a better way. Set a new target to maintain a more peaceful and harmonious relationship. At this point, tell your wife how important she is to you. Openly praise her/him for all his or her efforts to maintain peace when you were not or how he or she endure all the pain and yet loved you all the way. It is time to inspire them and letting them know that you believe in them and will always support them. Speak them out. This instils confident in your beloved one to go out to be their best knowing that you have their back. Reaffirm your love for your spouse. Then do not fail to make a body contact as a consummation of the restoration of your relationship. This can be a hand shake, a hug or passionate kiss or gaze into your loved ones eyes. This depends on who is involved. At the end of the day, ensure to conclude by praying together thanking God for bringing that reconciliation.

OUR WORD FOR THE YEAR 2011

We serve a God that cannot lie. This year, the Lord gave our Man of God, Pastor George Amadi a message for us: ‘The Lord has given us the City’. Blessed is she/he that believes for there shall be a performance of those things promised her/him of the Lord’- Luke 1:45

Love

‘Christmas is a celebration of the climax of God’s love for a lost world. It is immense that a sinner like me was bought with a costly blood of Jesus! Many floods can not drown love.

My numerous sins did not deter God from releasing His son to die for me. I was previously a stranger to the Commonwealth of Israel and so had no access to Abraham’s blessings, BUT GOD, the Holy and Righteous one overlooked my shortcomings and sent His son.

It is mind blowing, It is petrifying! It is indescribable, this kind of Love.

He did not come because I will or can give Him back but He loved me anyway! What a priviledge. Today, I am sanctified, accepted, approved and blessed, all because of the CROSS. COULD THERE BE ANY BETTER GIFT?

I have a reason to celebrate!

Have a wonderfully merry Christmas and a Hazzle-free 2011. God bless you.YOU have indeed been a great blessing to my life. I do not take our relationship for granted!’ Pastor Chika

A teaching on Pride

‘Pride is a spirit which if it enters anyone it does not leave until it has destroyed that person’s dreams, vision and personality and relationships.

God hates the pride, friends walk away from proud speaking people, colleagues despise proud workmates. Pride makes one resentful and unapproachable. Pride makes people lose touch with the real issues affecting others.

Pride can make you walk away from your rightful possession or walk away from your blessings and people God has positioned to bless you. Kill pride. Pride can give you false confidence.

Pride hardens people’s heart that they refuse advice. Pride goes before a fall. What journey are you travelling? The decision you have made/are about to make is it out of pride or genuine?

Above all, you cannot be an influence if you are very proud. Signs that you are really proud: having a class and unable to get along with people, feeling of unnecessary independence; fear to fail; feeling of I have arrived or I know so much; if you are unteachable and hates advise or corrections; inability to take responsibility for your mistakes and insisting on always having things your own way and of course dominating in every discussion with others and always wanting only your voice heard.

But do you know what? You can become humble. Just acknowledge that you are proud, make a conscious effort to stop those attitudes that feed the spirit of pride. If you are born again, ask the Holy Spirit of God to help you.
I break the stronghold of pride over your life and set you free from the Spirit of pride in Jesus name. Receive the power to be humble in Jesus name’. Pastor Chika Amadi

Chances and Opportunities

‘Chances and opportunities that you have, choices and decisions you make regarding them determine results you have in life. That is why I said that success and failure are equally available to all it is the choices we make that make the difference.

There are different doors that can open to a man or woman. Some of them are good and can launch one into something huge. Yet there are some opportunities that are detrimental in life. There are opportunities that can steal your conscience away.

Never jump into every opportunity that comes your way because it may cost you much more than you expected. It is written in the Bible that there is a way that seems right unto a man but the end is death.

When a ‘business opportunity opens to you, what do you do? Jump into it straight away? Not always. It is important that we always think things over before we give it our final shot as well as ask the Lord for direction. I have seen people tied to some ventures, relationships, vocation, and career by all means only to discover that they had only ended up wasting their precious time, energy and resources.

There is always a time of personal appraisal. How beneficial is that relationship you have been in for years now? Some people are praying that God should give them a husband/wife while they are tied to an immoral relationship for years in the name of courting/dating. You are wasting your opportunity. Some are tied to some course of study which will never add worth to their lives while some have jumped into some businesses only to discover that they are traps. A lot of young people have been led astray by what they thought were great opportunities to make it huge. Most of them battling addiction and peddling just joined such activities innocently. Some ladies have been tricked into travelling overseas for prostitution. Why, because when these opportunities showed up they looked fantastic and authentic. Look before you leap people!

Do you want to change your circumstances? Are you at the right door? Today is an opportunity for you to have a second view on what you have taken on. Is it moving you closer to your destiny or are you moving in a circle? Are u cut up in addiction? I want you to know there is a way out? Did you work into a dead end? Addicted to sex, drugs, fraud, killing and forcefully taking what does not belong to you? God still loves you and wants to change your life. It may look very difficult but you can come out clean.
