heavenlies. Some of us have made the devil much bigger than he is and some of us have made God smaller than He is. When man messes up God’s plan, God has plan B. continued from page 3 Spirit and be obedient to what the Holy Spirit tells you. He may not tell you everything at the same time but He will lead you. God’s sheep know His voice. David was the youngest of his father’s children but God saw a heart after Him in David. God still continued to call David a man after His heart even after David sinned twice. God can use people who have made mistakes as we will see in the Bible. An example is Abraham who lied to the king about his wife; Noah got drunk; David committed adultery with Bathsheba and even married her. This shows the redemptive power of God, yes you blew it, but I have forgiven you. Peter denied the Lord but thank God for the goodness of God. You may be divorced, lost a job or bankrupt but this does not mean you are disqualified. If you need a breakthrough, you need to God will keep His word to you because He is a covenant keeping God. He will be faithful to His word. God is not a man that He should lie, Matthew 24:35, John 15:7. sow a seed and not necessarily a financial seed. It could be as service, washing the church toilet or other. For some of us, the devil has tried his best shot to take us out but we are still standing. Hindrances are only obstacles, the devil may delay our breakthrough but he can’t stop it because God decided our destiny, it’s already been settled by him in the God has promised to answer my prayers, 2 Corinthians1:7, 2 Peter 3:9. Corinthians 1:11, Jesus is coming back. Many of us are pregnant with the promise of God and what we need is a prophetic release. Some of us are frustrated because our manifestation does not equate our revelation Philippians1:6. Only what we do for Christ will last. We must be about our fathers business. If I want God to come looking for me, to come knocking on my door, then I must praise Him. Heaven on Earth B ≈ Bill Winston ≈ ill Winston came on to the pulpit with gratitude saying, I thank Pastor Matthew and first lady for receiving me to come and bless you with the word of God. “This word is eternal because not only was it important to those who first received it but also to us.” When Adam and Eve fell in the garden they received information instead of revelation. Opening with a word of prayer over the congregation, he went into the message sharing a story. He said he There are two realms - the seen and the unseen; the unseen realm controls the seen. One reason God has sent me to this city is to break the curse off the people, and there is a wealth transfer coming. was just going to be led by the Holy Ghost and whatever we liked or didn’t like we shouldn’t blame him and all laughed. He sent all into more laughter by saying we were all going to be bumped, a word he had gleaned from his son earlier. Teaching from Galatians 3:12 -13 he said, Wealth is my birthright. Every time I should look for revelation, a word. The mentality that people have is that they can’t receive more than they work for. This is a Babylonian mentality. I should not be working for a living because my income should far outweigh my salary. My working is for me to have something to give. God has to get us out of limited thinking to a place of inexhaustible supply. God says our thoughts are not His thoughts but it doesn’t mean we can’t think His thoughts. If we would think like a billionaire we would see it manifest in our lives. Dr Winston said some of us need some crazy faith and not to be ashamed 31st October 2012 Issue 3 of the gospel. He told of the story of a lady who came after him as he went down the road looking for a McDonald’s to buy a cup of tea. She was hollering “this is a man of God, this is my day, and I heard the Lord” she wanted healing and he laid hands on her and she was healed. We must believe God for greater things to His glory. God took Bill Winston to Matthew 15:29, Jesus healed all the people because He was operating under the blessing. We must study the Word and line our words up with what it says and let it come out of our mouths. Choose life Proverbs 18:21; Isaiah 65:16. You invoke a blessing on yourself and you do this by saying God’s word When I come into a job, I’m supposed to lift a curse off others. When I can see what others can’t see, I’ll do what others can’t do and receive what others can’t receive. Wealth transfer not only has to do with money but creativity and intellectual wealth. The blessing will give me everything I need in life. My season of frustration is over! W elcome to the fourth day of the International Gathering of Champions 2012, The Yoke Destroyer. Dr Siddiki, Rev Marcus Lamb and Dr Bill Winston were awesomely used by God yesterday to bring a liberating word from the Lord. All the eight Generals with me at the pulpit this year are anointed by Jesus Christ, the Yoke Destroyer, to speak into your life and bring about healing and deliverance. John 28:11 asks us not to receive any yoke but that of Jesus Christ, the Yoke Destroyer. His yoke is for us to receive His word, for this yoke is easy and this burden is light, and we shall find rest unto our souls. Matthew Ashimolowo Indescribable, uncontainable, You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name You are amazing God. He is indeed an Amazing God! 10 AM Tudor Bismark 2PM Dr Mensa Otabil 7PM Dr Mensa Otabil 8PM Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo How To Prosper In Any Recession ≈ Dr Nasir Siddiki ≈ Dr Siddiki started by saying God is an awesome God. He asked whether we had enjoyed IGOC so far and received a resounding YES from the congregation. We can see from scripture that Abraham was justified by WORKS and not by faith alone when he offered his son Isaac on the altar. God picked Isaac as the seed to be sacrificed. Isaac had to be the seed offered because in the loins of Isaac were the nations. We were warned that the wrong seed can never produce the right harvest. It has to be an Isaac seed. The problem is that during offering time, many of us just drop our seed in the offering bucket without listening to God’s voice and then wonder why we didn’t get the blessing we expected. Give the seed that God instructs you to give. He shared with us the awesome testimony of God’s saving grace in Iraq where over 100 million Muslims have already given their lives to Christ. Glory! Continuing on from where he left the night before, Dr Siddiki took us through Why the yoke must be destroyed, and how we can prosper in any recession. He reminded us that God does not want us to be in debt. We must owe no man anything but love. God has a plan for our lives but it will not just happen. We must pray it out first and then see it happen. Jeremiah 29:11 God promises us that he has a plan for you and me. Isaiah 46:10 says God declared the end from the beginning. Then God knew about the recession before it happened. God transfers wealth in the middle of recessions. When you prosper in the middle of a recession, people will ask “who is the God that you serve”. As he expounded on the scriptures Exodus 8:2-23; Exodus 9:26; Exodus 9:4, Dr Siddiki told us that God has revealed to him that we are in the midst of the wealth transfer right now. It is time for us to thrive not survive. My daddy will never be late in child support!! Psalm 89:34 tells us that we are in covenant with God and God is responsible for our Unlimited Vision ≈ Marcus Lamb ≈ provision. Even so, we are responsible for fulfilling our part of the covenant. The problem is that many Christians do not understand their part of the covenant. We were warned about how the Israelites had a covenant with God but it took them 40 years to complete an 11 day journey. They did not make it. So what must we do? As we pondered the question we were given the answer...We must walk by faith. Anything that is not faith is sin. Faith fulfils our part of the covenant. Faith not tested is faith inoperative. God has to test our faith to see if it exists. If he tested Abraham’s faith, what makes us think he will not test ours? But why is it that some people have faith but they are still not prospering? How do I show my faith? We show our faith by works! The Hebrew meaning for the word ‘Works’ means “deed, action of obedience”. As we are told in James 2:19, 20, 21, faith without works is dead. M arcus Lamb came on to the pulpit with undisguised excitement at being back at KICC once again. He pleasantly informed us with joy that Daystar has access to over 700 Million homes. He went on to share with us his experience of the English traditional meal of fish and chips which he thought was lovely. He encouraged us to take a few minutes to watch a video clip related to the topic of ministration and thereafter went into the message saying “If you’ve got a big dream or vision, get excited because God can make it happen”. The attendees were When Abraham sowed the seed required by God, he spoke by faith that they (he and Isaac) would come back. At that point God released the ram in the thicket as a sacrifice. Every time God tells you to plant an Isaac seed, God is going to give it back to you. Always obey the instruction of God at offering time. If you are going to do it, do it right. As he summarised the message, he told us that faith will never work without the right Isaac seed –Luke 6:38 and he left us with 4 steps that we must take to receive our harvest: Identify your harvest Pray over your harvest Be obedient to the voice of God Believe you receive when you pray asked to turn to Proverbs 29:18, and whilst they were doing this, he commented that pastor Matthew whom he fondly refers to as Bishop, is a very great man of God and that KICC is very blessed to have him. What is God’s unlimited vision for your life, ministry and business? John 3:2... Though many do not believe in prosperity especially the unbelievers, out of a lot of things that God could have promised us, He chose health & prosperity. God delights in prospering His children and has sent him all the way from America to come and activate the word so that we can have unlimited vision. Continuing in his message he said he would speak to the Kings (Business people) and Priests (Pastors and Ministers). Priests have an anointing for ministry and they should hear from God. To the business person among us he said, instead of working for money, God will cause money to work for us. Psalm 25:27, God also wants to give us lay men ideas. The question is where do you get this? Answer: In anointed services. Rev Marcus Lamb went on to share with us how God gave him 2.4 million dollars through an idea placed in his mind. He gave examples of people who came up with simple ideas which has fetched them millions of dollars such as paper clips; post it notes and others. You need divine favour to prosper and you don’t need everybody to like you, you just need one person to like you, somebody like Donald trump in America or Richard Branson in England! God has shown me favour through many billionaires in the land, he said. God can do the same for you! He told us that we need to be faithful in the little things if we want to see unlimited vision to manifest in our lives. Why Does God Bless Us? 1. To remove poverty from our lives 2. To enable us to be a blessing and give to our local church. 3. To fund the end time commission of God. God wants His children to excel, He wants to raise up men and women to raise up the hands of Pastor Matthew. As we support KICC in faithfulness, the anointing on the ministry comes upon us too. God said to Marcus, “Find what I am blessing and bless it, my blessing will come upon you too”. He made us understand that God can qualify the unqualified and even the disqualified. We are all made in God’s image. He told how he was given the mandate to go and open a TV station and how he had no idea or money to do it but God would not listen to his excuse and told him to go as instructed! He and his wife went through a lot of hardship in trying to get the project started because people refused to assist them. Even another great man of God stated that they would never get the idea off the ground. In his testimony, he shared with us how a gentleman came into a building they had acquired and issued them a cheque of $1000 and pledged his assistance to help build the station. This confirmed the wealth of the wicked being laid up for the righteous in their lives. God wants to give us a gift of giving, he said. He told us how his own father ended up being a multi-millionaire because he was faithful in giving the little. There can be no progress without the process; God wants to see whether we can listen to the Holy Spirit. God indeed has a plan and process but we must stop focusing on success in man’s eyes and focus on significance. Three Things To Note: 1. You must have a word from God not man. A Rhema word. You can’t go by what man says, you have to go by what God says. 2. You must be led by the Holy Spirit. He doesn’t tell you everything at once, it might be a word, sentence or paragraph. 3. You must persevere, don’t give up and the devil will not be able to defeat you. Marcus learnt how to fast and pray, receive a word from God, be led by the Holy Spirit and God has proved Himself faithful in his life. The Power Of Agreement Marcus Lamb went to his wife and asked her whether she would agree with him to give the ministry $10,000 if God would get it to him. She said she would. The Holy Spirit reminded him of the land that he had been given by his parents as a present and that he should sell it to a certain lady down the road for $10,000 and he did. Your Year For A Breakout And A Breakthrough H ≈ Marcus Lamb ≈ e started off with excitement that he was back this evening. He introduced his daughters to us and mentioned that KICC has as a leader one whom he considers to be one of the greatest men on the earth. KICC birthed the song in ‘You Can Begin Again’ sang by Daystar singers. The song was played and Marcus prophesied into our lives. No matter what we have been through or what the devil has thrown at us we can begin again. Teaching from the Old Testament Isaiah 54:1 – 3, Reverend Marcus Lamb says that it is the devil that wants us to have a breakdown but God wants us to have a breakthrough. We are people who will do exploits for God. If God has placed a dream on the inside of you, you must surrender to God and you must hear His voice, be led by the Holy On receiving the money from the lady he gave it to the ministry and since then the Holy Spirit has proved Himself mighty on their behalf and his ministry receives over a $100 million dollars each year and he owes no man anything but love. continue on back page 2 3
