EIGHT YEARS ANNIVERSARY OF LORD OF HOSTS MIRACLE CHAPEL


THE LORD OF HOSTS MIRACLE CHAPEL. Sunday 9th June 2019.

Calvary greetings beloveth.

Today’s service was very memorable and unique. The reason is that on 8th of June 2011, Lord of Hosts Miracle Chapel was officially institutionalised as a spiritual church by God Himself. The chapel was hitherto operating as a prayer centre anchored by the woman of God seer Bright Ndibunwa. It is on that note that today’s service was dedicated to marking 8 years anniversary of the church.

 Below is the sermon today at The Lord of Hosts Miracle Chapel, plot 116, 5th avenue Gowon Estate, Egbeda.

Theme: Abraham’s timely obedience to God’s call. (Bright Ndibunwa’s timely obedience to establish The Lord of Hosts Miracle Chapel).

Text: Genesis 12 from 1.

Abraham at 75 yrs of age and childless was commanded by God to leave his place of abode and go to a place yet unspecified. In spite of the fact the new place was not specified by God, Abraham religiously obeyed God’s command without an iota of reservation.

This scenario was replayed eight years ago when seer Bright was also commanded to metamorphose the prayer centre to a full blown church. Against her wish of being a business woman, she obeyed God and ever since she has remained resolute and focussed in her calling. Her obedience just like father Abraham was timely.

As children of God we should discover what God is asking us to do and obey without hesitation. We should obey on time too. Very important. When God asks us to move we should move. It is only when we move that we discover new things.

When God calls you, you are expected to remain focussed. Abraham like seer Bright were focussed after heeding God’s call. Hence they obeyed and on time too.

Abraham was not distracted by the fact that he was used to the mammoth crowd of people surrounding him in the neighbourhood. Same goes to seer Bright. She did not allow her ambition to be in business to override her calling. With the support of her amiable and supportive husband, she answered the call timely enough. And today the church has survived despite pockets of hatred, acrimony and rancour which are necessary evils.

God moved Abraham because He had a lot of goodies in store for him as a result Abraham blossomed even in dryness courtesy of God’s presence in his life.

The presence of God was with Abraham and 75 yrs was the beginning of a basket of blessing for him. In analogy, the presence of God is with LHMC AND 8 YRS IS JUST THE BEGINNING OF MANY WONDERFUL AND MONUMENTAL EXPLOITS AHEAD. So shall it be in the east, west, north and south in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.

Sermon by seer Bright Ndibunwa.

BELOW IS MY POEM TO CELEBRATE THIS GREAT CHURCH ON THE OCCASION OF HER 8 YRS ANNIVERSARY.

Come gather all, from great to least
Come celebrate this special feast
This is the day by God’s own choice
Our church was born, let us rejoice

May God be praised! May God be blest!
May He find here His place of rest
We honour those who built with care
His throne on earth, this house of prayer

May all who come, find truth and light
Receive new hope of future bright
God fill us with abundant grace
Many Angels guard this holy place

We thank you, Lord, for what you’ve done
Here in this place through your dear servant
Abide with us your spirit show
As rivers, may your blessings flow.

Amen

By elder Jerome C. Njoku.
