Questions and Answers - Pastor Kay

This is the final question and answer session for the year.

Do you tithes on gross or net of earnings?
If you really trust the word that say it’s better to give than to receive then it will not matter because you will give at a much higher level than the what the letter says. Giving is an opportunity to be blessed and the person that understands that principle will benefit from it. The bible says in 2 Cor. 9:6 But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.

Where do the contents of my dreams come from?
You dream what you meditate and/or dwell upon.

Can giving be substituted for one-to-one evangelism?
Our resources are always at work to win souls via the initiatives that the ministry masterminds. In that respect, our resources represent souls.
That said, every person has a sphere of contact and as you interact in your sphere of contact it is necessary and a responsibility to spread the word as the opportunity presents itself. If it doesn’t exists then the individual can create it through prayer. The person who is busy is the one who has had the gospel committed to their hands.

Does anyone have the rest of the information that the bible says was not recorded?
The holy spirit knows all things and dwells in you to reveal things to you however as the bible also says that which is written is sufficient for a man to live the life that God has called him to live
John 20:30-31

What does the bible stand for?
The bible is just a book however the words come alive in the heart of man and it can be shown to be able to produce what it talks about and that makes it more than just a book.

Since all sins have been forgiven, those to come and those past doesn’t this give a liberty to would be sinners?
The life of God in an individual does not allow the Christian to sin and a Christian will not use the God-given liberty in that way because the God that he/she is like does not act in that way even though he could.


1 Thess 4:16-17 What is Paul trying to tell us in this scripture?
Paul was referring to the rapture.

I didn't enjoy Loveworld Music Festival because it didn't match up to the usual Christ Embassy standard?
We have taken a step and we are constantly improving. Next year will certainly be better than this year after we have made all the improvements necessary. We have an excellent spirit and as the word improves us daily so also the things that we do are improving day by day.

I've been given an ultimatum to marry someone, what do i do?
Every person is an individual and each case has to be handled as such. You need to speak to your pastor because marriage is for life and the person that you marry will affect the life that an individual lives and how far the individual goes in their lives. Marriage must be got right and a short period of consideration with your pastor is a small "price" to pay for making sure that your life turns out excellently.

You've been made rich already

You have been made rich already. Isn't that glorious to know? We know this because the bible says so. In 2Cor. 8:9 - bible says

For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.

Jesus took our place and satisfied the claims of justice because only he could do so. His poverty here was in no way spiritual because he was the Son of God and the one of whom the bible declare in Col. 1:19

For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell

hence he could not have been spiritually poor. He took upon himself your sickness,disease and infirmity that you might be healthy and strong.It is critical that you believe this for it to be active in your life. Our gospel is one of substitution, Jesus took what we have and gave us what he had. We are a people of faith and it helps us to believe what God says. Don't be like the lady in the cartoon, avoiding the blessing of God through doubt. Let it rain down on you until you are soaked and have more than enough to bless all those around you.

Your confession should now be

I'm the rich child of a rich God! I'll never be poor in my life. I'm Abraham's seed. therefore riches, wealth, abundance and prosperity are mine. I refuse to lack, for my God supplies all my need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

Have a great day!

You've been blessed already

He already paid the bill! You've been blessed already. The bible says in Eph 1:3

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

Not only have you been blessed, he has made you a blessing. He has made you a conveyor of God's blessing. The blessing of God upon you life is that unseen elixir that causes favour, prosperity,grace and peace to follow you wherever you go. When it's working in you as a born again child of God, anything you do turns out well. You have to be conscious of the blessing of God that's upon your life. The blessing means that it is impossible for you to be disadvantaged. No curse can work in your life anymore because you are called to inherit a blessing.
Say this prayer today,

Dear Father, i thank you for bringing me into a life of blessing. I take advantage of your blessing that's upon me and i declare that whatever i lay my hands upon prospers. Everywhere i go, that blessing opens doors for me and puts me in the place of opportunity and favour, in the name of Jesus Amen

Our Matching Orders et al. - Pastor Kemi

Christ gave us our matching orders as christians in Matthew 28:18-20. He said,

And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost

Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

We are a people of purpose. Get more understanding of the word. Locate yourself in the word and see things fall in the place
All things you will ever need are wrapped up in the word. Go for the word. The plans he has for me are good plans. We were born to live on easy street. The things we do are all from a place of rest. We are seated together with Christ in heavenly places. We are the body of Christ, he is the head we are the body. We have to take rhema (God's specific word on a specific matter for a specific person at a specific time) and speak it. When forces say otherwise, say rhema. Bring it out and speak it. Understand the word. Meditate on it. Let it overwhelm you. Have it rich in you. Don’t be pushed around by the world or those around you who have no idea who you are or what you've loaded with. Think big thoughts and say the things that God has said about you.

References: Luke 13:25-30,Prov. 11:13-15


We have been given this gospel to preach. We’ve been sent so we are in partnership with God.
1Cor 3:9 declares it and 2Cor 5:20 reiterates it.

There’s only one name by which all those who have been consigned to the dunghill, those of who m it has been said, "you'll never amunt to anything" can be saved and that is by the word of the gospel. We preach it because it’s God’s heart that no man perish but that all be saved.

This is our passion, the thing we believe in, our heartbeat.

Isaiah 60 declares that gentiles/unbelievers come to our light and kings are coming to the brightness of our rising. This is what the word says. We are not small people, we are big, his holy habitation. The greater one than all people is in us. We are anointed to prosper. We have to shine, be the best and do well. Afterall, the bible declares that We are the light of the world
Matthew 5:14

Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid

The anointing causes the yoke to break. Affliction, sickness and anything that's of the devil cannot yoke the Christian. God needs me and you, we are his men/women for today and the days ahead. Shake yourself loose. Sickness cannot lord it over you. When the hooks of the devil come, declare who you are and see what you have been made, a supernatural man living beyond the system of the world. The things we see are all subject to change. We can pray and we can cause a change. Born to be above, never beneath.

Acts4:33-
We have been called to take the gospel to the nations. We are partnering with this mission with our money to bring the gospel to the deepest parts of China, to Afghanistan, to all the Arab nations. My partnership is giving healing to the sick at healing school.

2 Cor. 9:6-8
You are abundantly supplied requiring no aid or support. We are obligated to give the gospel to the world. We have the resources, technology and the wherewithal to make tremendous power, grace and favour available. God needs us so we have health in our bodies and we are not growing old or becoming sick in anyway. We are giving our way to the top, affecting lives on the way.

Greatness in God’s kingdom is measured by what you give, not what you have. We ought to be part of the big things that we are doing in the kingdom.

The Missionary Christian Contd.

The Christian is born for a purpose and it is necessary for every person to be aware of this fact. People should not just work to eat or to exist. There is a reason for been alive.

No one is an accident. Ones parents were not aware of who was going to turn up when one was born. They knew they were expecting they child but they had no idea who that child would be however our father in heaven knew me before I was formed! Hallelujah. Is. 44:21 says

Remember these, O Jacob and Israel; for thou art my servant: I have formed thee; thou art my servant: O Israel, thou shalt not be forgotten of me.

God was worked out a purpose and brought me on the scene at the right time to fulfil that purpose

Amos 3:3 asks Can two walk together, except they be agreed? Every man ought to know the plan of God for the life been lived to create an unbeatable team. The key is endorsing God’s plan. No one can do it like you can. You are special so get to know God's plan for you. Agree with him and walk the walk of victory with him.

Previously we said:

Maturity is for responsibility & service

Set yourself apart from the crowd by seeing a need and meeting it. This is the action of a responsible person. Those that cry out in the “street” are not responsible and cannot meet the needs around them. Remember that a successful person is one who sees a need and has the motivation within him/her to meet that need.

We are separated out of the world from everything that is not like God. When you answer the call of God to you, you’ll find that you are no longer the needy but the one who has been called to go on a mission. Failure has gone and success has come, fear has gone and faith has come. Every day is a hopeful day and your hope will be materialised.

We have faith for today and hope for tomorrow. W hen tomorrow comes, faith makes it a reality

When you are responsible, authority is given to you. If you are not responsible, then you don’t have any authority. Just look at your work place to see this principle in action

You are not here on earth for your job or business. Check that all your labour is been translated into a successful life. That is the key to understanding that you are walking in the vision that God has set for you.
Ps 127 talks about those that labour in vain, do not be one of them. See yourself in God’s dream. Do not be in competition with your friends. You are not in competition with them. God has a definite ad sure plan for you.
2Cor 10:12

For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.

He has the right dream and correct plan to get me to the place he has prepared for me. No matter how good my ambitions are, he has a better dream than I can come up with. Getting in synchronicity with God will put an end to struggles and vain labours. Some may say that the Christianity is a rugged road, but remember that we already have the victory and nothing on that rugged road is able o defeat us. Just like Caleb said in Numbers 13:30

And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.

Phil. 4:8 – Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

You have the Efficiency Of the Spirit

Acts 1:8 declares in the Amplified Version

But you shall receive power (ability, efficiency, and might) when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be My witnesses in Jerusalem and all Judea and Samaria and to the ends (the very bounds) of the earth.

Efficiency the skill of been effective without wasting time,expense or unnecessary effort. The Holy Spirit has come into your life to make sure this is the case with you. You are able to get things done the right way at the right time. You don't dissipate unnecessary energy and resources over anything because you have the right information to do what is needed when it is needed.
It's no surprise that promotion follows the man who functions this way because he operates from a place of rest and knows the things of the spirit that are not accessible to the natural man. Be conscious of this reality and be determined to take advantage of it and you will nt be disapointed. Make this confession today,

I have received the efficiency of the the Spirit of God. I'm effective and productive in everything i do. I get things done in the best way, at the right time, with minimum waste or effort. I'm a go-getter, and i'm dependable to deliver prompt and excellent services always.

Strategies for winning souls - Pastor Kay

You have been chosen by God. He chose you because he knows you can produce the results. he only reason for not producing is declaring that you can't do it. However agreeing with God and saying that you can because you are God's choice. He has chosen you and sent you in your sphere of contact. Where you happen to be, you are the only one that can do it.

Christ's Strategies
Christ's strategies was based on the state in which he finds the individual

One on One Evangelism - A woman with a poor self image John 4
Christ initiated the conversation with the Samaritan lady even though it was unheard of for Jews to relate to Samaritans. Jesus made her know her value and worth and by the time he had finished with her, she knew it and the scriptures show that she was changed and she told people about her experience. Christ was concerned about her and made sure she was comfortable even though he did not know her (in the way a person is acquainted with another) before their meeting at the well.

One on One Evangelism - A man with a cynical view - John 1:43-end
Philip was cynical and was of the opinion that nothing good could/would come out of Nazareth. When brought to Jesus, Jesus disarmed him with a compliment and ministered to him. The salvation of the man's soul was paramount in the mind of Christ

One on One Evangelism - A man waiting for an invitation
Matthew the tax collector was waiting for an invitation and was glad to accept Jesus when he came to see him

One on One Evangelism - A man who admired Jesus
Luke 19:1-6 Jesus was lavished attention on Zacchaeus and visited him, taking a particular interest in the life of this one who admired him from afar. This was to bring the gospel to him not just to take advantage of him.

Family Evangelism - Reaching out to the family of someone who has been saved - Luke 10:38
Christ knew Martha and through her he met Lazarus and Mary. See Luke 10:38-end and john 11:1-3. No one should be written off as we never know who they know or when we may need to share the gospel with them.

Family Evangelism - A woman related to Peter - Matthew 8:14-17
Peter's mother-in-law was healed by Jesus when he visited and as such she was happy to minister to those who were around. She became part of the ministry.

In closing, Jesus was all about soul winning. He did it with all his resources,money,time and his person. This should be the focus of every Christian person. You are God's point man in your world so take up the responsibility that you've been give n and bring grace,favour and the glory of God into the life of so many who God has brought you into contact with.

You have eternal life in you

1 John 5:13-15 My purpose in writing is simply this: that you who believe in God's Son will know beyond the shadow of a doubt that you have eternal life, the reality and not the illusion. And how bold and free we then become in his presence, freely asking according to his will, sure that he's listening. And if we're confident that he's listening, we know that what we've asked for is as good as ours.

The eternal life in you is not subject to sickness,disease or infirmities. The things that affect the human life cannot affect that eternal life in you. Be conscious of this and life as one who understands this.

Say this confession today,

I have the life and nature of God , therefore i live in dominion over life sickness, disease, poverty, frustration and death. As the Father has life in Himself, even so has He given me to have the same quality of life! That life is at work in every fibre of my being

The Missionary Christian Contd. - Pastor Chris

Every Christian ought to be missionary but it so happens that this is not the case. We are not of this world, we are pilgrims on earth. While we are here there is a job to be done and we have to do it.

What's the reason for growing?
People grow from childhood to adulthood. Responsibility makes an individual a man or woman in the real sense of the word. Maturity is for responsibility and no one can claim to be an adult if he/she is for responsibility. Maturity is for service, maturity without serving is not normal.

When a person comes into Christ, Christ aims to build that person. As the word/message comes to the church, the word builds every person at the level they happen to be and as such everyone is built. 1 Cor12:27 says,

"All of you together are Christ’s body, and each of you is a part of it."

Every person in the church is a necessary part of the body of Christ. Every person in the church should function in the church. Just like the natural body, sometimes some parts of the body may not be functioning properly because it's sick in some way, in the same way some people do not function in the church. The only 'explanation is that the person is a sick part of the body of Christ but a part nonetheless.

How do we get to know each other in the church?
We get to know each other when we work together. God wants us to relate to each other by function. He desires to work with us at whatever level we are at. He did this with Abraham in Genesis 18:17-33
As matured people God desires to discuss the future. He can't discuss with children as it's not easily discernable.

Psalms 67:2 May your ways be known throughout the earth,
your saving power among people everywhere.

It's our responsibility to tell everyone about the saving power of Jesus Christ. Jesus came and just before leaving he told the apostles to wait for power from on high. He didn't want them to go because they heard, or were excited or felt like it. He wanted them to go with divine power because then failure is not possible, results are assured and the prayer of David above is answered.

1 John 5:4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

Remember, you are a necessary part of the body of Christ. Go on and take your place. For the full message contact Christ Embassy Bermondsey on the telephone on 0207 740 7700 or by email on christembassy@cebermondsey.org.uk

You have an excellent spirit

Daniel soon proved himself more capable than all the other administrators and high officers. Because of Daniel’s great ability, the king made plans to place him over the entire empire. - Daniel 6:3

Pastor Anita speaks of the excellent spirit in the Christian today. She explains by the example of Daniel that as a christian, you have the Holy spirit in you and as such the ability to function more excellently than Daniel. You are able to walk in excellence rather strive for it. Mediocrity is nowhere around you as the Holy Spirit inspires excellence in you. Give the Holy Spirit the opportunity to express himself through your mind, words and actions so that the excellence in you is revealed

Say this prayer today

Dear father , I thank you for the spirit of excellence who lives in me. He has sepearated me from mediocity and failure and set me apart for the life of success and excellence. I thank you for imparting wisdom to my spirit and giving me a sound mind threby causing me to function excellently in everything i do in Jesus name.

You have self control

Self Control is a component of the fruit of the spirit and every Christian already has it. You have been endowed with it from above so all you now have to do is let it out. Pastor declares that it's the ability to hold ones self in. The ability to master ones body, passions and desires from the inside. Jesus was our example of self control. 1 Peter 2:23 says

He did not retaliate when he was insulted,
nor threaten revenge when he suffered.
He left his case in the hands of God,
who always judges fairly.

It's not just choosing good over bad but rather making choices for the best e.g making the choice to study your bible rather than watch a movie or cutting down on sleep time to pray. It's in you and you know how to exercise self control so look inward prayerfully and see what you have.

Make this confession today

I have the ability to make the right judgements and choices and refuse any attitude, habit or lifestyle that is inconsistent with the gospel. No matter what happens around me, I don't bow to pressure, rather i hold myself in from within.

--Adapted from Rhapsody Of Realities, 16th October 2007

Sunday Service - 14th October

Yesterday's service was wonderful. A time to be reminded of our responsibilities are Christians and representatives or Christ on earth.

Prayer - As your word comes to me, i receive understanding i will not just be a hearer of the word but a doer of the word in the name of Jesus.

Paul was concerned for the gospel and those who had no yet believed on Jesus as Lord and Saviour so much so that he asked 4 Questions in Romans 10

How can they call on him in whom they have not believed?
How can the believe on the one of whom they have not heard?
How can they hear without a preacher?
How can they preach except they are sent?

The real reason for been a Christian is to preach the word to others. You have been sent as a preacher or minister. If the only reason to be alive had been to be saved then we would have been taken to be with Christ straight after been saved. We have been left here to be the light of the world, to tell others about the saving grace of Christ.

Christ came to give us life and make sure we have it abundantly. Christ came to seek and save those that are lost (Luke 19:10). And as he was sent so he has sent us to do the same.

Jobs,business etc are all a means to an end. They are a vehicle to take us to where God wants us to be. Accountants, doctors and any other professional or business person are not needed in heaven so see yourself as sent of God to that place where you find yourself. An ambassador of a divine kingdom and representative of the God who created all things for humanity to enjoy. In a manner of speaking, get people to join your chariot.

We have been given the ministry of reconciliation. To save lives and to show them what God has made available. 2 Cor 5:17-20.

The natural man is not going to heaven because the citizens of heaven are no natural men. The new creation man is born of God and has been made a citizen of heaven.

You have be chosen out of the world so you are no longer of this place although you reside here bodily.

Jesus talks about what that means i John15 18- 19

18If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.

19If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

The disciples of old got great results because the Holy Spirit was working in them Acts 4:8-11. They were fearless and bold to preach the gospel. Always remember that the devil does not want the message to spread further hence we must not be unaware of the devices of the devil.

It's time to make the gospel known in this month of soul winning and special giving as we launch out to the UK with our rhapsody or realities.

Stay blessed today

Loveworld Music Festival

Fantastic! What a celebration of talent. The 3.5 hour show was a showcase of some of the best talent in Christ Embassy. The auditorium was packed, the contestants were excited and the audience who were wonderful. It was the first of many such events to come and i'm delighted that the trophy has come to Christ Embassy Bermondsey. The competition was tough, with 2 of the CE Bermondsey contestants losing out in the first round however this seemed to galvanise the winner, Emeka Sam Anyanwu, to perform better withe very song. The brethren at Christ Embassy Bermondsey and all those who watched recognised the talent in this young man so much so that there was no other outcome but for him to win.

Some of the comments on the night included

...I salute the gift of God in you - One of the judges to Emeka

...I can't tell you to vote for me, Vote for the person who you think has performed the best - Emeka to the presenter when asked why he should win

...Make sure you get your ticket next time. I don't think i'll be missing it next year - a member of the audience when asked about the night

...Young people are inspired when they see their mates performing at this level and they want to be part of things like this - IK Esimai , BLW co-ordinator UK

It was a night to remember. On this note i say, "Congratulations! to the winner of the Loveworld Music Festival 2007, Emeka Sam Anyanwu"

The Missionary Christian Cntd.

What is sin? Many are aware of what it is and many hold a human dictionary definition of what sin is or should be. Some others have a religious definition of sin. However there is a definition that is of God that has the ability to liberate a person.
For many there is a consciousness of sin which the devil uses to persecute them and keep them in a kind of bondage. The bible tells us that sin has been nailed to the cross on which Jesus was slain. The bible says in

Romans 6:14
For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

Sin is no longer an issue. It has been dealt with and is of no consequence to the christian. God desires to work on those things that cause a person to do the wrong things. There are 2 of them, namely Fear and Selfishness

Luke 9:62 says Anyone who lets himself be distracted from the work I plan for him is not fit for the Kingdom of God

Don't be distracted by anything. Distraction causes you to pray about the wrong things. It stops you from been effective spiritually.

To obtain the remainng part of this ministration, contact Christ Embassy Bermondsey through email on christembassy@cebermondsey.org.uk

Wednesday Video Service - The Missionary Christian

In Psalms 67:1-2 (The Living Bible Translation), David prays about the news of the saving power of God reaching all the world. The holy spirit is the answer to this prayer.
God made the world and put us in it that w may be like him, full of love and grace.

We ought to tell the world that God has not fogotten the world, that He is ready and waiting. We have been given the Holy Spirit to enable us. Jesus said in

Luke 24:49
And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.

There are 2 kinds of Christians, those who think only about themselves and those that think of all others. If you are concerned only with the things that surround you then those things are going to occupy you till you are unable to do anything in the kingdom.

When the Holy Spirit comes on a man, he lives beyond his feelings. He doesn't feel like doing many things but he does them anyway because he is now motivated by his heart of love and devotion no longer by his feelings.

Life on earth is too short to be spent on useless matters. Do the things that really count.
The bible says in 1 Cor. 14:20 (Contemporary Engish Version)

My friends, stop thinking like children. Think like mature people and be as innocent as tiny babies.

Phil. 2:4 says

Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too.

You've worried over your job,children,body, money etc for too long. Consider those who are in a more dire situation than yourself. There is a new way of thinking.

You're a King and a Priest

Revelation 5:10 declares

And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.

What do you think that means? Does it apply to you?. Of course it does. The Christian is not ordinary. He HAS been made a king and priest unto God. He was called out to a kingdom of kings and priests. Life is lived from the spiritual realm so if you have authority there, you are made for life. The bible declares in Hebrew 11:3

Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

So you see, life begins in he spiritual. How glorious it is to have been made a King and Priest over spiritual forces, over circumstance and situation, over the affairs of life and to have been given the authority to make decrees that do come to pass. Your words are now backed up by divine power. No longer do you pray weak and beggarly prayers rather you declare what tahe word of God says concerning you live life from a place of rest knowing that your bankroller owns all things.
Pastor Chris gives us the followinng prayer for the day, say it and be blessed

Dear Father, I thank you for making me a king and a priest unto you. I declare that i'm reigning in life and i'm exercising dominion over negative circumstances. As a king and priest, my words are backed with power to change negative situations. As I minister to you as a priest, and make decrees as a king, every word I speak is established unto me in Jesus' Name

You are God's dwelling place

What a month to be alive. A month in which you are told you you are, what you are and what you have become as a christian. It's glorious, it's wonderful, it's marvellous and I thank God. Today, Pastor Chris share with us on how we've become the dwelling place of God. The bible says in 1 Cor. 3:16 ,

Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

What a thought! What a gift! How can Christianity be a religion? Christianity is the pulsating life of God in a man that makes him more than an ordinary person. He has become a carrier of divinity and a repository of God's power. Your life is supernatural and his abilities are at work in you.
No wonder the Bible declares that you are a partaker of God's nature - 2Peter 1:4

Say this confession today,

I'm God's dwelling place ; His living headquarters and operating center. He moves through me and talks through me. In Him i live move and have my being. I'm a conveyour of eternal verities and a partakers of the divine nature. I have ability to effect positive changes in my world because the greater One lives in me

Praise the Lord!

You are as valuable to God as Jesus

Did you know that you are jewel of inestimable value? The apple of God's eye? The one for whom God paid a price with life and blood of His Son. Yes, don't look so surprised, you are more special to God than you could ever think. God loved you so much that He gave His only son to die in your place and reconcile you to Himself.
The bible declares this in multiple places to us

1 Peter 1:18 says in the Message Translation

...our life is a journey you must travel with a deep consciousness of God. It cost God plenty to get you out of that dead-end, empty-headed life you grew up in. He paid with Christ's sacred blood, you know. He died like an unblemished, sacrificial lamb. And this was no afterthought. Even though it has only lately—at the end of the ages—become public knowledge, God always knew he was going to do this for you. It's because of this sacrificed Messiah, whom God then raised from the dead and glorified, that you trust God, that you know you have a future in God.

Eph 3:19 says

And I ask him that with both feet planted firmly on love, you'll be able to take in with all followers of Jesus the extravagant dimensions of Christ's love. Reach out and experience the breadth! Test its length! Plumb the depths! Rise to the heights! Live full lives, full in the fullness of God.

Pastor Anita declares today in Rhapsody of Realities that every sane individual will always pay the price on the price tag when buying an item, no more no less. In the same way, God paid the right price for you and redeemed you to himself. He LOVES YOU AS MUCH AS HE LOVES JESUS. Always remember that and walk as a King in this life because that is who you are in Christ Jesus.

Communion Service

God has made provision for every circumstance. He has made you so that you can walk through life as an overcomer. Jesus overcame by the use of Faith filled words. You need to do the same in your life. Do not allow your life to be on a downward trajectory, speak faith filled words and bring it into line.

You are here to reign and shine. To show the manifold wisdom of his word. It's your time to shine. He came to ensure that you live life to the full. You ought to enjoy life to the fullest. That's why Jesus came

The past doesn't matter, you are here now, you can walk in victory from today, discounting all the mumurings of the devil to you. Seeing that God has made you ready and able to do much more than you ever thought possible. Say those things that you want to see in your life, in your family, in your business, in your job. Nothing can hold you down anymore, you are moving forward, making progress with giant strides. Jesus has paid the price for anything you will ever come into contact with so all you need to do is proclaim faith-filled words. Say you are in God's plan, say you are a success, say you have a divine heritage and you are walking in it.
Message translation of Gal. 2:20 say

It is no longer important that I appear righteous before you or have your good opinion, and I am no longer driven to impress God. Christ lives in me. The life you see me living is not "mine," but it is lived by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I am not going to go back on that.

That is you. You no longer have anything to fear. Keep declaring those faith filled words and see them come to pass. Remember the bible says Eccl. 11:3

If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth: and if the tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be.

You cannot be disadvantaged, denied or in despair. You are not the person you used to be, you are a new creation, a new specie and God's most special,unique and peculiar person. God bless you

Praise God!

You are the Glory Of God

...And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them;that they may be one as we are one. - John 17:22

He is the sole expression of the glory of God [the Light-being, the [a]out-raying or radiance of the divine], and He is the perfect imprint and very image of [God's] nature, upholding and maintaining and guiding and propelling the universe by His mighty word of power - Hebrews 1:3

In this [union and communion with Him] love is brought to completion and attains perfection with us, that we may have confidence for the day of judgment [with assurance and boldness to face Him], because as He is, so are we in this world. - 1 John 4:17

You have become the glory of God. Jesus is the glory of God as the above scripture says. that gives him the right to be able to assign that glory to you as a Christian. You are a joint heir with Christ so the glory is upon you. See yourself as you really are and bask in the glory that you have come into.

Pastor Anita says today's Rhapsody,

"This is not just to excite you but also to let you know who you are as a child of God. You have been called into a life of Glory, see yourself walking in the glory; see yourself before the glory; see yourself walking in the glory;see yourself carrying the glory; see yourself as the glory"

Say this prayer today,

Dear heavenly Father, thank you for my life which is for your glory. I declare that everywhere i go, your glory is revealed and manifested through me, for i'm a carrier of your gory. I ask that daily, you'll help me walk in this conciousness and impact my world - Amen

You are the Righteousness of God in Christ Jesus

Righteousness. What is it? Can anyone attain it?
As a Christian you are the righteousness of God. The bible says,"they which have received the abundance of grace and the GIFT of righteousness shall reign in life through one Christ Jesus" Romans 5:17. Righteousness is a gift and like Pastor Chris says,

"It is the ability to stand before God without a sense of guilt, inferiority and condemnation"

The bible clearly states in 2 Corinthians 5:21 that

He was made sin for us who knew no sin, that we might be the righteousness of God in Him

so the Born Again Christian is righteous because God has made him so. Righteousness is a vast topic but for now it's sufficient to know that therighteousness of God in you allows you to pray and expect answers, gives you mastery over the devil and produces in you the ability to do right. For further study see October Edition [Day 4] of the Rhapsody of Realities where Pastor Chris talks about this and also listen to Understanding Righteousness - A teaching by Pastor Chris

Say this prayer today

Dear Father, thank you for giving e your righteousness as a gift and inspiring in me the conciousness that i'm as righteous as Jesus is righteous. I declare that i reign and rule in life as a king, as i boldly take advantage of my right standing with you, in Jesus' Name - culled from Rhapsody of Realities

You are Beautiful!

Pastor Chris shares from Genesis 1:27 which says, "So God created man in his own image, i the image of God created he him, male and female created he them." Further on in this passage after man was created it says in vs 31, "...God saw everything that he had made (including man) and behold it was very good" prior to that it is recorded that God said the things he had created before man was good (See Gen. 1:4-25)

Understand this. You are the crowing glory of God's creation, the consumation of His work and the cream of His creation. You are the most beautiful thing in the world.
You are the perfection and epitome of beauty. Your life is full of beauty and the perfection of God. You are too beautiful to be sick, to have a down-life, disease or infirmity. You are created in the likeness and image of God, an excellent handiwork and a perfectly crafted masterpiece. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Say this prayer today and function with the beauty of God in your life

Blessed Lord and Father, i thank you for making me so beautiful! Thank you for creating me in your image and in your likeness. Through your word, I've discovered that I'm too beautiful to be sick, poor or diseased. Everything about my life is excellent, perfect and full of glory. For these I praise and adore your forever, in Jesus Name

You are a Love Child of a Love God

Pastor Anita talks about God and His love nature today in Rhapsody of Realities. She speaks of the higher truth of God's love personality. It's true that God is loving however the higher truth is the God is Love. That is what he is, that is his nature. He is more than just loving as that seems to indicate that He can becoming unloving which is not true. He is LOVE.
You are made in His image and therefore you have this nature and character. Get to know this love God and see how his nature starts to permeate your being and you become just like your father.

Declare this confession today

The love of God has been deposited in my heart by the Holy Spirit; therefore I walk in love everyday of my life. I don't walk in bitterness,malice or anger. Everywhere i go, i diffuse the pleasant aroma of God's love which is a product of my recreated human spirit. I am a love-child of a love-God!

Become a Partner Today

Sunday is a very special day to us in Christ Embassy, Bermondsey and more so this Sunday. It was partnership day. It was a celebration of the work that the ministry partners have been doing and a time to encourage those who are not partner to do so. There was a drama focussing on what it means to be a partner, the scriptural basis for it and the outcome of becoming and remaining a partner. It also addressed, many of the misconceptions held by some about what partnership is or should be. The choir was glorious, as always they had a fantastic performance, the like of which we had never seen before. It was a rendition of a South African song, sang to traditional south African rhythms to which everybody had to dance.
We watched the Loveworld Awards 2006, a celebration of all ministry partners and a recognition of some of those who have been outstanding during the year in their partnership with money, time, resource etc. Pastor then encouraged all to be partners to realise that it’s an investment in God who is someone we can never out give. He needs us in this world and we ought to be ready to take on the responsibility he has given us

Hallelujah! Tosin and Harry are married

On Saturday, Tosin and Harry were joined together in Holy Matrimony. The service was beautiful and the couple looked very happy. The wedding was presided over by Pastor Kay. The word of encouragement and admonition was provided by Pastor Edmund who urged the couple to realise that they both come from different backgrounds and ensure that they bear with one another. He read the scripture concerning Adam and Eve and how that God put them together to work and help each other. He encouraged Harry to love his wife and care for her in everyway possible. He also told Tosin to be loving and kind. By doing this they will be able to meet any challenges with a united front and as the overcomers that they really are.
Marriage is instituted by God and is forever. It's a wonderful thing when 2 christians come together to be joined together especially. The rhapsody conpendium covers various life situations including marriage. Get a copy here
