FIGHTING IT YOURSELF; PULLING DOWN THE STRONG HOLDS BY Apostle/Pastor GOC. Ogaraku "Akaraka"

FIGHTING IT YOURSELF; PULLING DOWN THE STRONG HOLDS
This is the time to pull down all strong holds and to push towards the plan of God for us all. It’s time to come unto the rest of the almighty God. There is time for everything under the earth which our Lord has set. At the fullness of time, when the word has gone the world over the Lord shall return to earth to complete the business of apportioning out the rewards to the rest. Make sure you don’t enter with any last or weight or burden, now is the time to pull down all strong holds.
Eccle: 3:1 “To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven”. Life is time framed and seasonally regulated. There is a time of birth and a time of death. In between these two ends, every activity of man is carried out within the armbit of time and seasons. There are two major seasons of life: rainy season and dry season. Likewise, there are two major times of life: daytime and nighttime.
Jeremiah1:4-10------4 The word of the LORD came to me, saying, 5 "Before I formed you in the womb I knew [a] you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations." 6 "Ah, Sovereign LORD," I said, "I do not know how to speak; I am only a child."7 But the LORD said to me, "Do not say, 'I am only a child.' You must go to everyone I send you to and say whatever I command you. 8 Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you and will rescue you," declares the LORD. 9 Then the LORD reached out his hand and touched my mouth and said to me, "Now, I have put my words in your mouth. 10 See, today I appoint you over nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and to plant."
Start from the day you read this article to do a three day fast to prepare to pull down all your strongholds. Joshua 37 "This is what the LORD Almighty says: 'If you will walk in my ways and keep my requirements, then you will govern my house and have charge of my courts, and I will give you a place among these standing here.
Joshua 3:1-3----1 Early in the morning Joshua and all the Israelites set out from Shittim and went to the Jordan, where they camped before crossing over. 2 After three days the officers went throughout the camp, 3 giving orders to the people: "When you see the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, and the priests, who are Levites, carrying it, you are to move out from your positions and follow it.
Some few steps to follow:

1. Receive the Spirit of power and grace to pull down every stronghold.
Luke 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised.

2. Recognize your spiritual empowerment and exercise them to the glory of God.
2 Corinthians 10:3-5---3.For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: 4. (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds ;) 5.Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
3. Abhor sin and avoid the everyday natural sins. Keep focused on the race to life and salvation.
Hebrews 12:1Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
4. Christ, and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.
5. Hide your selves under the wings of God, under the great tower, the mountain of God and operate under the guide of the Spirit
1 Samuel 23:14David remained in the wilderness strongholds in the hill country of the Wilderness of Ziph. Saul sought him every day, but God did not give him into his hands. 1 Samuel 23:19Then the Ziphites came to Saul at Gibeah, saying, Does not David hide himself with us in strongholds in the wood [at Horesh], on the hill of Hachilah, which is south of Jeshimon?
6. Obey HIS commandment and submit yourselves to God and confront the devil he will bow and flee to the glory of God.
Romans 6:16 Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to
obey, you are that one's slaves whom you obey, whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness?
James 4:7 therefore submits to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.
7. Be at alert, vigilant and watchful and see the salvation of the Lord. Be at alacrity so as not to relapse unto the lives of the world, keep on proofing yourself and remain in faith.
1 Peter 5:9 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. "Be Alert! Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour." (1 Peter 5:8)2 Corinthians 10:4-6 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of
Stand up against the societal ills: Stand up and Pull down the strong hold, Stand in the Lord and defeat these principalities against man.

• Bitterness and unforgiveness
• Hatred, rancor and vendetta

A NEW MISSION TO PULL DOWN ALL STRONG HOLDS by Apostle GOC Ogaraku
7/23/2010 9:19:29 PM
A NEW MISSION TO PULL DOWN ALL STRONG HOLDS
Through prayer and thanksgiving,
Hearty praises and worship.
Through fasting and meditation
Lets bringing our requests and supplication before the Lord
We must first receive power before we can pull down the strong holds.
Therefore we must wait onto the Lords and upon and HIS promises.
Acts 1:8But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."
With the power of the Holy Spirit we can and we shall crush the head of the serpent and its agents. These are agents and demonic forces; the wickedness in men.
Luke 10:19 I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.
And the power in question is of God. We are made mighty to pull down these rebellious spirits raising their ugly heads against the spread of the word, for the Kingdom to come.
2 Corinthian 10:4 for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses.
It is a clear mandate and instruction to go and preach, teach, heal, set the captives free. When we answer this call, The LORD through shall magnify HIMSELF through mighty miracles.
Mark 16:15-18 ----15He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation. 16Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. 17And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well."
Revelation 11:3 "And I will grant authority to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for twelve hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth."

LETS UTLISE THE POWER INVESTED ON US BY HIS GRACE THROUGH THE NAME OF CHRIST AND THE PRESENCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.

An insight survey; a Reflection into the deep meaning of resurrection of Jesus Christ unto the believers. (1)

An insight survey; a Reflection into the deep meaning of resurrection of Jesus Christ unto the believers. (1)

Brethren, loved and beloved,

Calvary greetings to you, to your family and the Church in Christ Jesus. May the power of Christ’s resurrection overshadow you all in Jesus name

Amen.

Easter is not only the most single important celebration of the people of God and those saved through Christ Jesus, it is the most important celebration the world over. The death and resurrection of Christ is what set mankind free from eternal condemnation and into the eternal salvation.

Have you really reflected on this; that a man because of love of his community freely and voluntarily gave up his son to die as ransom?

Have you ever read that a son intentionally and willingly gave up his life for the love of the people of the community, the world?

Broaden it into the whole world and see the underlying substance and importance of this gesture.

Can you do that?

To give up you only son

To die for your enemies

Romans 5:7-8 (English Standard Version) 7For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— 8butGod shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

In few days Easter shall be celebrated. I think it is time of a thought provocating reflection. It is also my desire to share with you the love and satisfaction that goes with it, the things keeping my mind busy.

What I going to share with you shall blow your mind and sweeten your heart with awe inspiring and reverence submission to God. Ephesians 1:19-23 (New International Version) 19 “and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, 20 which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, 21 far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. 22 And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church; 23 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way”.

What a great power that rolled away the stones with a finger of God. What an incomparably power given to us who believe. We have this power which is like the working of his mighty strength in us. And we are given the right to be called children of God John 1:12. Therefore I say in this Easter be strong in the lord because mighty power works in you. Ephesians 6:10 finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. Colossians 1:29 for this purpose also I labor, striving according to His power, which mightily works within me.

Please read also the power of God working in us.

The spirit of the lord (Holy Spirit) that raised Jesus from dead lives in us, in you and in me. This is whoa, this is awesome and this is great. Please shout Hallelujah. Romans 8:11 “But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you; He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you”. Can you feel it? Can you feel the power, can you feel the spirit of God working in you.

Ephesians 3:7 of which I was made a minister, according to the gift of God's grace which was given to me according to the working of His power.

Ephesians 3:20 Apostle Paul said: “Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us

Remember, He shares your joys as well your sorrows and he died for you that you may live. Think of these.

Your humble brother

Pastor Emeka Ogaraku (Akaraka)

Insight into the Altar and Ancient Biblical Mystery of Wealth by Bishop Dr. Chima Chukwuzitere

Insight into the Altar and Ancient Biblical Mystery of Wealth


Bishop Dr. Chima Chukwuzitere





Sharing the in-depth and insight into the Altar and Ancient Biblical Mystery of Wealth





Note: Through out the whole universe humanity craves to worship one thing or the other; you may call it anything, I refuse to call it even gods. But the truth is that, there are only two altars that control the affairs of the whole universe. No matter what you call what you worship; you must belong to any of these two altar-groups to be wealthy, convinced of safety and spiritually confident.





Unfortunately, each one of them has their price which varies according to one's choice of altar.





Every other sect, religious or Christian group consists of either of these two altars otherwise called (COVENANTS):





1. The altar of the God of Abraham or





2. The altar of Lucifer (Satan).





Note:





Both of them are powerful enough to make you physically wealthy on this earth, but watch what the Bible has to say about each one of these Covenants:





1a.The blessing of the Lord makes rich and adds no sorrow with it".Prverbs.10:22





THIS IS THE ALTAR OF THE GOD OF ABRAHAM. It is the paradise on earth where you live in the houses you did not build, own cars you did not buy and earn money you did not work for. But how does it operate; how does it work and what can we do to belong this altar? These and more are in the package called, The Altar and Ancient Biblical Mystery of Wealth.





“He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers. Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away. Read Psalm 1: 3-4





2 Their children will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed.3 Wealth and riches are in their houses, and their righteousness endures forever. Psalm 112:2-3





Now consider the second





As for this one, (The Altar of Lucifer) you already know where you are going; though you might see wealth, but sorrow will kill you.





1. „Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips." Psalms.16:4. Psalm 32:10 Many are the sorrows of the wicked, But he who trusts in the LORD, loving-kindness shall surround him.





Exodus 23:13 "Now concerning everything which I have said to you, be on your guard; and do not mention the name of other gods, nor let them be heard from your mouth.





This is a solid food; it is not for babies. Heb. 5:14 says "Strong meat are for those that are of full age who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.





May God almighty bless you with his riches as you keep growing in the word and in your faith. Amen.











This is the edited version and should serve as the copy for you to paste on the net.





Thank you Reverend Emeka Ogaraku
