@darasoba Any update? 😄

[Lekan Olayinka @lekan_olayinka1]

I’ve meant to post this for the past couple of weeks.

When I came to Lagos last year, I struggled to find a church, not because there were many, but because I was looking for where the Spirit was supplied.

The two churches I am connected to do not hold Sunday services.

But eventually, I found Burning Hearts Ministries.

At the first service I attended, I realized they pray in tongues for one hour before every proper service.

That was it for me. Once a church prioritizes long prayers, my heart is set there.

But I didn’t know I was just scratching the surface.

For the first time in over a decade, I have found a church and a pastor through whom Who supplies the Spirit supplies it to me every Sunday.

I want you to know my story. For a long time in my Christian life, I have always expended myself for others.

Since NYSC, I was in my mum’s church. I was co-pastoring it.

I kept my fire by immersing myself in the sermons of my fathers in the Lord.

But no one was ministering to me. It was a burden I bore gladly.

But now, Pastor Elvis @ElvisOkhifo does, every Sunday.

I am saying this publicly because I, more than anyone, know what it means to successfully minister Christ.

It is a lot. It means that death is at work in him so that the life of Christ can flow to us as members.

I think two Sundays ago, my spiritual life wasn’t the best that week.

But I knew that if I got to church, I would receive refreshing and refilling.

Guess what? I did. My lamp was flickering when I got to church, but it was blazing hot when I left.

I am saying that Pastor Elvis labors like no other in the Word.

And I believe I can say that because I know a little bit of the Word myself.

Pastor Elvis labors so much. So much.

Apart from spending hours preparing his sermon notes, he asks his wife to read them aloud to him on the way to church just for final checks.

Then comes the Spirit through which he preaches the sermon.

I am always and consistently refreshed, and I am growing.

Should I talk about the integrity and godly sincerity of his life? That’s for another day.

As Paul said, “our boast is this: the testimony of our conscience, that we behaved in the world with simplicity and godly sincerity, not by earthly wisdom but by the grace of God” (2 Corinthians 1:12).

I am saying all these for two reasons.

One, because I am grateful to God for situating me in a local church in which His name and presence are.

Two, because the Bible says, “Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in preaching and teaching” (1 Timothy 5:17).

I honor you, Pastor Elvis. You dey try for me, for us.

God bless Burning Hearts Ministries.

@darasoba An update with NDI providing scriptures as lower thirds will be awesome 💯

[Elvis Okhifo @ElvisOkhifo]

Be careful not to sermonize what you should internalize.

Sometimes, God is not trying to tell you the next ‘rhema’ for THEM but for YOU.

Let your notes speak to you, first.

Brb, lemme go and internalize this one too 🙏

@RasineIrem Ikr, made me think we shouldn't just discard everyone in church because they're always 'offended'. Jesus still loves them. (Phil 4:2)

[Ebele Light @ebeletheservant]

You will be thinking of skipping your devotion because “you have a hectic day ahead and devotion will eat into the time you already do not have enough of.”

You do not know that it is the spending time with God that will actually save you time from doing futile labors.

@nelson_iheagwam Lay down your idols

[Judah Olorunmaiye @JudahMaiye]

Once the song is enjoyable, and there are sprinkles of "Jesus is great" in it, we discard our discernment and tolerate every worldly and ungodly display.

@RasineIrem When you tell your neighbour you're headed to church in Nigeria, the response is usually "pray for me" not "abeg dance for me".

@folastag A rich man's joke is always funny

[Esther Olonade @Olonade_esther]

Many will 'help' the Holy ghost by chasing money for Jesus work and will eventually do no work for the same person they chase after money for.
Meaning,when he test the work you claim to have done, it burns!
Part of what Grace brings is provision Psalm23:1 reach out for grace!
