Bishop's Report on : "THE KING IS COMING" Crusade

THE KING CAME INDEED! By: Bishop David Ighile

The anointed men of God were operating in the supernatural. This is an edited version of our Prophetic/Apostolic/Teaching crusade this past week-end. As you may be already aware, the Theme of the crusade was: “THE KING IS COMING” Some of you think I am talking about the kings of this world…maybe, the King from KwaZulu Natal, or a king from Nigeria, No! I am talking about the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords! And not the kings of this world. We are talking about JESUS OF NAZARETH. I said go tell everybody that the King was coming. Spread the news throughout the city and surrounding area concerning the miracles Christ was going to perform in this ministry! And indeed there was deliverance in this house, there was resurrection in this house. Visions were resurrected! Listen, the people who were part of this program can testify that the Lord Jesus visited us in Person! We are blessed. However, you can still be part of the excitement if you visit us this Sunday or, if you email to us your prayer request or call us with your urgent prayer request. Remember, Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever! In Him you will receive Freedom. Surely there will still be barriers in your life -- but barriers that can be swept away in time. The Blood of Jesus shall never loose its Power.
We thank God for restoration through this crusade. God is Faithful even when we are not. Jesus, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, arrived in our church this past week-end. The theme of the message was repentance, salvation and staying away from sin. Bishop Chris stressed that if you are a carrier of an anointing of God, you cannot sin – you cannot repent of the same sin in January, and again in March. He said the anointing was not about the garments you wear or the certificates you have. The anointing is sacred.

You have to drop off things before you could really operate in your anointing. You cannot live in the flesh. To be carnally minded is death and to be spiritually minded is life and peace. He said character was important to the anointing. He said the anointing alone cannot flow, will not bear fruit if you do not drop sins from your life. I repeat, it is very difficult to record the events of this crusade down accurately as it was in the Supernatural realm right from the beginning. The only thing I can say is that, if you were unable to attend this program, make sure that next time when we announce a crusade of this nature, you make sure you come to receive from JESUS. The King was here. The evening services were a ‘climax’ of all the meetings! We all received. Amen. All meetings of this program were in the supernatural realm. The spirit of the first church was felt by all in the program!“When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.” (Acts 2:1-4).

The church was comforted, encouraged! and strengthened! Lift up your voices and shout it from the housetops that Jesus visited us in person this past week-end.! It was worth it! Our Redeemer came, and He came to make all things right! Amen. There was resurrection power in the house. God rebuked, restored and ‘sent’. I believe that many anointed people of God received confirmations regarding their destinies and also that some have their anointing resurrected and they shall be ‘sent’ in Jesus Name.
Isaiah 40:1-11, "Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God. Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the LORD’S hand double for all her sins. The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain: And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it. The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field: The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass. The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever. O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee up into the high mountain; O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God! Behold, the Lord GOD will come with strong hand, and his arm shall rule for him: behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him. He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young."

The program has passed but, I need to bring you some more good news! I believe that God wants to strengthen and bless His people more! Lift up your voice louder, shout it from the housetops, preach it in the market place, sow the seed of the gospel wherever you go for you don’t know what that seed will bring forth! The message of the crusade was also about bringing in lost souls to Jesus! Don’t be afraid of what others may say! Don’t be worried about persecution! Don’t be discouraged when no one seems to be listening! God’s Word is true and will never fail. Keep telling others about Jesus. Behold, the King is Coming!Are you ready to be blessed? Are you ready for some good news for a change? There is no really good news outside of the promises of God. The word of God is Truth. It works; it is proven. God declares things that are right. God has not forgotten you. God has not forgotten us! Visit our ministry; by email / telephone me or come visit our Sunday 10H00am services. Your life will never be the same again. I say your life will never be the same again.

Comfort ye my people, speak softly and gently to them, let them know that I have not forgotten them. Let them know that the Lord of Heaven will pardon their iniquity and that they shall return to their land in great victory for I will make a way for them.Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God. Are you a child of the King this morning? If so, then God has a word of comfort for you. He will speak to your heart to give you peace in the midst of the storm. He will speak to the winds and waves of the storms of life and say “peace be still”. God wants you know that He has not forgotten you for you are the “Apple of His Eye”. He watches over you in love and compassion and His hand will keep you from destruction. He has promised to be with you always, even to the very end of the world.

Revelation 1:7 Look, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him; and all the peoples of the earth will mourn because of him."So shall it be! Amen.
"But truly, as I live, the whole earth shall be filled with the Glory of the Lord." Numbers 14:21. Whatever the situation in your life right now; God is with you. Don’t waver, don’t doubt. "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose." Romans 8:28

God's people are indeed experiencing spiritual warfare in increasing measure in these days. Everywhere I go, I meet those who say that the warfare is intensifying. Personal assaults, attacks on our families, on our ministries, relationships, and almost every area of our lives are increasing. I meet people who are battling hopelessness, despair, and at times "feel like" giving up because they are becoming weary. One of the reasons for this is that our adversary knows his final fate. He certainly knows now, more than ever, his time is short. But, I believe a bigger reason is that the Body of Christ has been in an intense season of contending for the purposes of God and the manifestation of the Kingdom of God to come to earth.
As Christians, we are also facing a challenge to ‘clean up’! The word of God says we cannot be condemned anymore because we do not walk by flesh but by faith. (Romans 8:1), however, the word of God says we cannot sin because of the grace we have. We have to be more careful because of the grace we have! Take care of your spiritual life by avoiding sin. Make mistakes but do not sin! Confess all sins.

How easily spiritual "bumps" can develop in the life of a Christian! Unconfessed sin in the heart is like rust on the steel belts. At first, nothing appears to be wrong, and we may even consider it of no consequence. But our love for the Lord wanes; interest in God’s Word declines; prayer becomes less important. Soon spiritual progress comes to a bumping halt. It may be some bad sin you are tempted to do, but it may be what we would call "just a little thing." But that little thing is still sin and if it is sin, it will take you further than you want to go and keep you longer than you want to stay and cost you more than you want to pay. Sin must be rejected, whether it is something big or small.
Playing around and not dealing with sin is like using baby rattlesnakes for bait. It may seem harmless but it’s putting its venom in you and it will affect you because: Sin will take you further than you want to go!Sin will keep you longer than you want to stay!Sin will cost you more that you want to pay!
There is a special grace being released to those that are determined; those that are hungry. God is offering that special relationship. He is inviting us as sons of the Kingdom to walk with Him like Enoch did.

We thank God for restoration through this crusade. God is Faithful even when we are not. Jesus, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, arrived in our church this past week-end. The theme of the message was repentance, salvation and staying away from sin. Bishop Chris stressed that if you are a carrier of an anointing of God, you cannot sin – you cannot repent of the same sin in January, and again in March. He said the anointing was not about the garments you wear or the certificates you have. The anointing is sacred. You have to drop off things before you could really operate on you anointing. You cannot live in the flesh. To be carnally minded is death and to be spiritually minded is life and peace. He said character was important to the anointing. He said the anointing alone cannot flow, will not bear fruit if you do not drop sins from your life.We, like Israel, are to prepare the way of the Lord to come into our heart and life. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, those deep dark chasms of sin and blackness in our hearts are to be filled with His love, grace and mercy. Through his power, the high places of pride and arrogance are to be leveled so that we don’t think more highly of ourselves than we should. The perverted ways of thinking, and the paths of sin that lead us away from God are to be made straight when his Word lights our path and the Holy Spirit guides our footsteps.
Are you prepared to loose everything for Him? He says DO EVERYTHING TO WALK IN THE STRAIGHT & NARROW WAY! WHICH WAY ARE YOU GOING TO CHOOSE? Apostle Solomon said sometimes, you may have to be 'demoted' in order to be 'promoted' in this walk with God. If you are feeling 'low' and ignored right now, remember that! Your 'demotion' is temporaly! You are coming out!
For many are called, but few are chosen." Matthew 22:14
There is another way to say this. "Many are called, but few will pay the price in order to be chosen." Your circumstances might be quite different than those I faced. The Lord does not duplicate His workings. But if we are to come into that which He has reserved for us, we must submit to His dealings, and come His way. REMEMBER: JESUS IS LORD.
In Christ
Bishop David
