“ARISE AND BUILD”: MISSIONAL REPOSITIONING AND METHOD FOR REVIVAL.

Posted by Deji Okegbile | Apr 16, 2024 | Missions and Evangelism |

Now set your heart and your soul to seek the Lord your God. Therefore, arise and build the sanctuary of the Lord God, to bring the ark to the covenant of the Lord and the holy articles of God into the house that is to be built for the name of the Lord – 1Chr. 22:19. The story of Prophet Nehemiah, with its pragmatic approach and call to arise and build, resonates with the current state of the church and our nations. Just as Jerusalem was a broken city, a spiritual devastation, our church orthodoxy is in ruins. This...

RESURRECTION EARTHQUAKE! POWER AS OF OLD, ROCKS SPLIT, AND THE TOMBS BROKE OPEN!

Posted by Deji Okegbile | Mar 30, 2024 | Ministry and Prayer |

At the moment, the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split, and the tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life (Matt 27:51-52). The resurrection of Jesus Christ is one of the central truths of the Gospel, the Good News of forgiveness and eternal life through Jesus Christ (1 Cor 15:1-8). Apart from resurrection, Christ’s followers would have no hope, and our faith in God and testimony about Jesus Christ would be useless (1 Cor 15:12-19). Jesus’s enemies recognised the...

OFFER OF ETERNAL SALVATION:ONLY ONE BLACK FRIDAY (AND BLACK SATURDAY). Only one Black Friday and Saturday offers eternal savings beyond the high season of consumerism. The days were not for sale or self-oriented consumers, bumping, climbing, pushing, and screaming over one another. It was not the day after any holiday or Thanksgiving. The event of the one Black Friday was at a place of profound significance, known as ‘The Skull.’ This was where the soldiers, in a cruel act, nailed Jesus to the cross. They also nailed the criminals to crosses beside Jesus – one on the right and...

Overcoming Judas Within: A Type of a Person, or Thing.

Posted by Deji Okegbile | Mar 27, 2024 | Ministry and Prayer |

Today is the Wednesday of the Holy Week, ‘colloquially known as Spy Wednesday because of this day just over 2,000 years ago, Judas Iscariot left in secret to betray Jesus.’ Judas, though a historical figure, is a type of person, thing or event that promotes evil transactions in the family, church, and nation. The Wednesday of the Holy Week reminds us that we have a choice, as ‘our actions reflect a decision like Peter to follow Christ, or judging from our way of life, are we more like Judas choosing spiritual death?’ Judas regrets, but Peter repents. Spiritually, Judas...

St Patrick’s Day: Model for A New Generation of Missionaries Beyond Ireland and United Kingdom.

Posted by Deji Okegbile | Mar 17, 2024 | Methodism |

“Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me, Christ in the mouth of every man who speaks to me; Christ in every eye that sees me, Christ in every ear that hears me” – St Patrick Today is St Patrick’s Day. In one of my publications a few years ago, I wrote that St Patrick’s Day is more important than what he did in Ireland. St Patrick’s symbolises a model for a new generation of missionaries in this season and at a time when the church is declining and losing its identity, authority, and bearing. St...
