"But when the time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a
woman, born under law, to redeem those under law, that we
might receive the full rights of sons. Because you are sons, Go...d
sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out,
"Abba, Father." Galatians 4:4-6 (NIV)
Yuletide Greetings to all my fb-friends
May I greet you with the joyous gladness of the season of Christ’s
birth [The Christmas celebration of the year 2010]
The birth of Jesus Christ came at the right and appointed time, at
the time of God, at the fullness of time "But when the time had
fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under law, to
redeem those under law, that we might receive the full rights of
sons. Because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our
hearts, the Spirit who calls out, "Abba, Father."
Simply and ordinarily with heavy hues and cries and the nostalgia
in the economic and political air;
The pain occasioned by the economic stress and distress capped
by a protracted snowy winter in many places. We cower not under
the mattresses but brave the winter and dare the summer working
hard to make ends meet. I congratulate you all as the true sons of
the soil; the sons of your fathers, the sons and daughters of
IChrist.
"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the
government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be
called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting
Father, The Prince of Peace." Isaiah 9:6 (KJV)
Let’s reflect on this Xmass celebration; I want to say Christmas is
not just about the gift sharing, or unusual invitation to a family; it
is not about rice and stew or paper soup or isi ewu, Christmas is
not about the Christmas trees ("O Tannenbaum", or, in its English
version, "O Christmas Tree",) or bout the candle light and
fireworks. All these palaver; these impediments are part of every
festive situation. We can change their styles, colour ao even the
decoration. We can change their official dates or even postpone
the celebration. They are thing made by man and are bound to
perish on day.
Christ mass is about Jesus Christ who decided to take our place of
our sin and set us free from the certain death to life, He certified
us from condemnation to freedom and from misery to victory.
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were
still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8
Christ mass is about God who loved the world that he gave his
only son. It is about the love and grace of God. It is about
recognizing the compassion of a loving GOD.
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,
that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal
life." John 3:16
It is a time of reflection, counting stock and making a real
decision to make a tangible change
Enjoy your Christmas wherever you are. I pray for journey mercies
for those travelling and peace for all in the name of Jesus the
peace of peace.
"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the
government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be
called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting
Father, The Prince of Peace."
May HIS peace perpetually remain with you the whole of 2011
Amen
Apostle Emeka GOC Ogaraku
I remember the yester years, the yuletide of yesterday
Happy & Prosperous New Year 2011
“I will go before you (in 2011) and make the crooked places straight; I will
break in pieces the gates of bronze and cut the bars of iron. I will give you
the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places, that you may
know that I, the LORD, Who call you by your name, Am the God of Israel.”
Isaiah 45:2-3
While wishing you a prosperous and healthy new year, I wish to call you to
open your spiritual eyes to see Jesus and HIS role next year in our lives.
"And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his
glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and
truth." John 1:14 (KJV)
As you recognize Him, then He will go before you. “I will go before you (in
2011) and make the crooked places straight; I will break in pieces the gates
of bronze and cut the bars of iron. I will give you the treasures of darkness
and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that I, the LORD,
Who call you by your name, Am the God of Israel.”
Many have come into contact to Him but have not realized Him. This year
2011 I pray that you shall recognize and commune with HIM Amen.
Dearest Brothers and Sisters, My clarion CALL this NEW YEAR is a
passionate and proactive one seeking:
Ø NEW DAWN WITHOUT BOUND for people globally
Ø Working hard for the realization of the promised Jubilee in Jesus
Ø working hard to create a WIN:WIN Relationship
This year for us is a year of grace explosion; “a year of Favour and unusual
prosperity”. The year 2011 shall be for us all “A year of turnaround for
good” the tide, darkness into light, our nights into day and our segregation
into integration therefore be strong
“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them,
for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake
you."
Then you will have success if you are careful to observe the decrees and
laws that the LORD gave Moses for Israel. Be strong and courageous. Do not
be afraid or discouraged.
1 Chronicles 22:13
Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be men of courage; be strong.
1 Corinthians 16:13
The only reason evil triumphs is because
Good men watch unconcerned and in surprise and hands akimbo lacking
lustrer.
Good men simply doing nothing here simply weakling and cowardly.
Good men believing nothing; lacking vision and therefore no mission.
For most of us who are serving and working in the Churches but have not
been born again please take note “THERE ARE NO MORE TIME BE SAVED
TODAY ACCEPPT JESUS” not partial but absolutely. 1 John 4:19 “We love
Him because He first loved us.”
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified;
do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever
you go." Joshua 1:9
Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for
the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."
Deuteronomy 31:6
Please do not allow yourselves to be harangued by stress or hoodwinked by
distress, keep working hard and looking unto Jesus Christ
Once again I say to you all; Happy and prosperous New Year 2011 for you
personally. Amen.
Apostle Emeka GOC Ogaraku

Do you believe or still doubting read Luke 1:45
Believe is the first step before faith and breakthrough.
Romans10:14+15
"How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in
the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching
to them? And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are
the feet of those who bring good news!"
Note the empowerment and fulfilling blessing waiting for you
Luke 1:45 (King James Version)
45And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.

How long is a night?; "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning"
How long is a night?
Psalm 30:5 "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning"
How long have you been weeping, where does it hot, where is the pain? Why are you weeping, how long is a night? In Genesis we read that. There is darkness, voids, and formless situations and deep under the earth but dark and weeping are for a time, a season; stipulated and shall certainly come to pass. There are also joy and celebrations times that are from God they last forever in Gods glory. The celebration time gather people to you they are willing to eat and dine with you. They will give you good and great names. in the course of your celebration they will chastise the one weeping, and call him the unlucky or rejected and rejected by God and in the worldly they will say of gods but the righteous fails seven times into wailing and weeping into darkness sowing the by tears, amid tears of seeds reaps joy and perpetual rejoicing. Amen.
“Genesis 1-3~1In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. 2The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. 3And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. 4And God saw that the light was good. And God separated the light from the darkness. 5God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day“
A Night is tantamount to Formlessness, Void, Darkness and Deep.
Formlessness: “Without form: Amorphous, odd, ugly, and jungle of death, lacking order, having no material existence. “Unorganized, without plan and destination, without success or progress.(Having no definite form; shapeless, Lacking order, having no material existence)
Void: An empty space or emptiness, disappearance into the void. Something experienced as a loss or privation: His death left a great void in her life. , a gap or opening, as in a wall, a vacancy; vacuum. in cards) lack of cards in a suit: a void in clubs”.
Darkness: Dark: not bright or clever, deep, dark pit, fearful, unilluminated. “dark: absence of light or illumination iniquity: absence of moral or spiritual values; "the powers of darkness dark: an unenlightened state; "he was in the dark concerning their intentions his lectures dispelled the darkness" having a dark or somber color a swarthy complexion”
Deep: anger, frustrations. Confusion, illusion and unhealthy situation and circumstances of….”Deep sorrow extending far down from the top or surface: a deep well; a deep valley. Extending far in or back from the front or from an edge, surface, opening, etc., considered as the front: a deep shelf. Sound and heavy; profound: deep sleep. Mysterious; obscure: deep, dark secrets. Immersed or involved; enveloped: a man deep in debt.
Anything that makes you very uncomfortable or deters you to live the life of a believer, that is to be countered as darkness. Anything that makes you weep,, cry out tears and deep unsatisfaction; sickness and sickening situations, financial and material handicappness .even legal or cultural deterring you from succeeding .Ask for the Lord of light to bring light. You start confessing light blessing, progress, breakthrough, and so on. Do not keep mum. Speak out blessing. Cry out loud, by you tears; you are sowing a great seed in the kingdom of God. “They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him”
Psalm 126
When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream. 2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD hath done great things for them. 3 The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad. 4 Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the south. 5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. 6 He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
Let’s sow the seeds of precious love and reap joyous fruits. Let’s sow in brokenness, in humbleness and tears so as to reap on joy.

Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you. "Concluding Exhortations"
“Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.”
6 So we say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?”
Concluding Exhortations
Hebrew 13:1 keep on loving one another as brothers and sisters. 2 Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it. 3 Continue to remember those in prison as if you were together with them in prison, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering.
1 Pet. 5: 1 – 11~"Be the shepherd of the flock of God that is entrusted to you; watch over it, not as a duty but gladly, because God wants it, not for sordid money, but because you are eager to do it. Never be a dictator over any group that is put in your charge, but be an example that the whole flock can follow. When the shepherd appears, you will be given the crown of unfading glory"
“Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.”
