God always good once more strengthens his children of the B C C to come worship, praise, thank, and listen to his direction and correction from his word. The prayer meditation scripture for the day was Isaiah chap 43 vs 17-19.  The coordinator was Ps Manga. The preacher of the day was Ps Simon Njock. He spoke  on the topic ” You are a distribution center in other words You are a solution giver” (Matt;5:13-15).

Thus it holds that we are a solution to our families, friends, town, country etc. You are the light in any society of life you find yourself with others. Ezekiel;37:1-11, reading this scripture tells us that  nothing is impossible with the ultimate one as demonstrated to Ezekiel by him. That is to say even though you may be dry in some aspects that will make you not be a solution,  you are still a solution because God does not look at you that way he looks ahead  so he sees you fresh.

God has called us out for a purpose and has  assigned us to be solution givers. 1Pter;2:9,10, says we are percular people. 2Cor;9:19-20, we are ambassadors of Christ, we are also his representative wherever we find ourselves. Heb;1:1-3, says as you recieve his glory you become more like him. When God calls a man he blesses the man, therefore everything that the wolrd gives is in us it’s left for us to exploit it by hardwork and devotion to God.When he calls you he blesses you all round so that you can become a solution giver. So we have to work towards the blessings of God.

What makes people do extra-ordinary things?

BCC is moving forward in ministry by the Grace of the Almighty. Last Sunday was wonderful, there was serious prayers  and declartions by the christians to themselves and to the church as they enter the month of September. The service was coordinated by Ps Simon Njock who also led praise and worship with Sis Pamela. It was a wonderful praise time as the christians praised and thanked God for taking them through the month of August. There were a lot of touching testimonies from christians.  Four birthdays were celebrated in church.

The word for the day was by Ps Manga Joseph, he spoke on the theme “Seeking The Leadership of The Holy Ghost” (Romans 8:14).

Who is the man that is so hidden that can cause a change in your life? He is the Holy Ghost. People go astray because they dont know this person.

The holy Ghost is a person , he is the gaurantee of our eternal inheritance. He characteristics like;

-He is all k nowing  that’s to say he knows evrything about you and me. If you get him you will be all knowing too.

-He is emotional, that’s why with him in us we are joyful. He is also a worker so we don’t need to struggle when we have him. He is a distinguisher, a solution maker. we have to distinguish oureslves in all we do and he is the great distinguisher so we have deeply fall in love with him. Why sin overcomes us is because we dont know the person of the Holy Ghost. ( Gal;3.3, Romans;8.11).

God is great.

By his power and grace the christians of BCC came together again last sunday to  worship,  praise and listens to Him speak words of  wisdom and directions into their hearts through his wonderful servants. The man of God for the day was Pastor Arung Bate he spoke on the theme “Winning The War Of  Sin”  From Romans 6. He gave some three things to fight this world of sin which were.

i) Knowing who we are . We really run away from the word sin and put other words, the way you persive sin is very propotional to the way you are close to God. The more we get to God the more he reveals to us where we are weak. We are not sinners because we sin we were born sinners. You are still a sinner till when you come to the cross because the blood has dealed with the sin. But the cross deals with the person in sin. When you come to the Jesus the old man dies and the new man comes forth.When Christ came to our lives it didn’t change it was exchanged. Rmns 6:6.

ii) We have to reconcile Rmns 6:7.  To reconcile means to always acknowledge the fact that we belong to Jesus, because  that’s what will cause you not to misbehave when you meet tempeting situations. We behave ordinary because we don’t recognice who we are and who you are will cause you to do what you do. In salvation there is a part we have to play to be saved. Christianity is practical. You must come to a place were you are not resisting you must flee.

iii) Lastly we have to render our all to Jesus Rmns 6:13. If am a Christian i have to agree that this body is not mine i was bought with a prize and I am His temple. Don’t be conformed to this world. You have to metamorphose from a caterpillar which is dirty and harmful  to a  butterfly which is clean and gentle  and sin will not have dominion over you.

Last Sunday was  yet another day for the Christians of the B C C to come together in one spirit to praise the Lord Almighty. As usual there was an awesome time of praise and worship from the praise team comprising of sisters Enanga, Hannah, and Anita. Thereafter, there were some testimonies from Sis. Pamela about her exams; how God turned her situation round and gave her success Br Cyril also  testified about his American Visa and exam successes.

The choir then came on stage and sang to prepare hearts and minds for the word of God. The preacher for the day was Mr. Vincent.

The theme of his preaching was “What shows that you are a believer”.. he proceeded thus. “To show we are true ministers of God, we need to apply hard-work and spend sleepless nights working out lives of purity,  righteousness and love. He stated that there is nothing like the other part of “me” because a believer has to the righteousness both to left and to the right. Thus there is no “unrighteous part ” of a believer. .. The bible says you should bear fruits and fruits worthy of repentance (Gal:5). All of us are expected to bear fruits .. Its good to be born again but not enough to be born-again; but to bear fruits that will endure. To have faith is alright but useless if you have no good deeds because that’s what will impress the unbelievers and God.

Will it not be nice when believers start distinguishing themselves by having good deeds? How do you show you are a believer? By bearing fruits.
