Welcome to Christ Embassy International ...Giving your life a meaning WELCOME!!! Being in Christ Embassy is more than being in a church; it’s more than a church. It’s a vision, and when you worship at Christ Embassy, you learn more than just the letters; it’s the spirit of the word. The Spirit of God gets a hold of your life, and then His Vision becomes real, not only to you, but He makes that vision real in such a way that others get to know what the word of God really is by watching the word of God manifested in your life every day. That is the reason we like people to come to Christ Embassy, that’s the reason they are invited. They are being a part of something that is more than a church, it’s a vision, God’s Vision. |

WHAT AND HOW TO PRAY FOR GOD'S PEOPLE! • PASTOR CHRIS. •THURSDAY, OCTOBER 11TH, 2012 Wherefore I…Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him: The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, And what is the exceeding greatness of His power to us- ward who believe… (Ephesians 1:15-19). It’s important we know how to intercede in prayer for those in the Church who though are born again, are not walking in the light of God’s Word, or are yet to be acquainted with the Holy Spirit and what He can do in their lives. It makes no difference that some of them may have been Christians for many years. As long as they’re not walking in the light of God’s Word, we must pray for them in the manner outlined by the Spirit, through the Apostle Paul, in our opening scripture. Pray, "That God would grant them the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him. And that the eyes of their understanding will be enlightened; that they may know the hope of His calling, and the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe!" Ephesians 3:17-19 says, "…that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God." This prayer has to do with the revelation of the love of God in our daily walk. We’ve got to pray that God’s people around the world will know the length, breadth, height and depth of the compelling love of Christ in His vicarious death, subsequent resurrection, and endless life in and for us. Have you heard someone say, "I can’t please you and displease myself." That’s not God’s kind of love; people with such understanding are not yet rooted and grounded in Christ. This is why you’ve got to pray that God’s people would have insight into the love of Christ, which is beyond natural, human comprehension. You can also personalize these inspiring prayers of the Spirit for yourself as well. When you pray this way, you’ll constantly experience spiritual development and have greater insight into the things of God. PRAYER I pray for God’s people all around the world today, that they might be filled with the knowledge of God’s will, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. FURTHER STUDY Colossians 1:9-10 Amplified Bible (AMP) 9 For this reason we also, from the day we heard of it, have not ceased to pray and make [special] request for you, [asking] that you may be filled with the full (deep and clear) knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom [in comprehensive insight into the ways and purposes of God] and in understanding and discernment of spiritual things— 10 That you may walk (live and conduct yourselves) in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to Him and desiring to please Him in all things, bearing fruit in every good work and steadily growing and increasing in and by the knowledge of God [with fuller, deeper, and clearer insight, acquaintance, and recognition]. Ephesians 3:14-19 Amplified Bible (AMP) 14 For this reason [seeing the greatness of this plan by which you are built together in Christ], I bow my knees before the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 For Whom every family in heaven and on earth is named [that Father from Whom all fatherhood takes its title and derives its name]. 16 May He grant you out of the rich treasury of His glory to be strengthened and reinforced with mighty power in the inner man by the [Holy] Spirit [Himself indwelling your innermost being and personality]. 17 May Christ through your faith [actually] dwell (settle down, abide, make His permanent home) in your hearts! May you be rooted deep in love and founded securely on love, 18 That you may have the power and be strong to apprehend and grasp with all the saints [God’s devoted people, the experience of that love] what is the breadth and length and height and depth [of it]; 19 [That you may really come] to know [practically, through experience for yourselves] the love of Christ, which far surpasses mere knowledge [without experience]; that you may be filled [through all your being] unto all the fullness of God [may have the richest measure of the divine Presence, and become a body wholly filled and flooded with God Himself]! |

Thought For Today: Blessed With All Spiritual Blessings Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ (Ephesians 1:3). Isn’t it wonderful to know that the fullness of God’s blessings belong to you? In this month of increased glory, you’ll experience the bountiful blessings of God in overflowing measure. Somebody said, “ I’ve been praying to God to bless me,” that’s the wrong prayer and in this month, you shouldn’t pray that kind of prayer. This is because God isn’t going to bless you any more than He already did. He already blessed you with ALL spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ Jesus, not some. As a born again child of God, you don’t need to look for any blessing anywhere else, or pray to God to bless you. Rather, recognize that the month of Increased Glory is your set time to enjoy the fullness of God’s blessings. The Bible says you were called to inherit a blessing (1 Peter 3:9); you were born into the blessing because you’re the seed of Abraham. The Lord told Abraham “I will bless you and make you a blessing” (Genesis 12:2). This promise was to Abraham and his seed (Galatians 3:16), which means not only are you blessed, you are also a blessing. Make up your mind today to live up to your calling. You’re full of the blessings of God. There’s no blessing in this world or in heaven that you should be asking God for, because all things are yours (1 Corinthians 3:2 1). You’ll bask in superabundance this month! Your life will be filled with the good things of life in an overflowing measure, so that others who come in contact with you will witness this increased glory and also partake of the goodness of God in your life. “This is the set time for that to happen” says the Lord of host! Hallelujah! |

Rhapsody of Realities Be A Word-addict! – Friday October 12, 2012 – Pastor Anita Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth (2 Timothy 2:15). The only thing in life for which you must develop a voracious appetite is the Word of God; be a Word-addict. Some people are addicted to the wrong things in life; but being a Word-addict will make you a success. The same way a pupil or student is expected to attend classes in order to make good grades, God expects you to attend to His Word to be successful in life: “My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh” (Proverbs 4:20-22). Success in life is dependent on the amount of God’s Word you know and put to work. This is the reason you must give yourself wholly to the Word of God through study and meditation (1 Timothy 4:15). Make a habit of studying God’s Word consistently, for God’s Word is food for your spirit. Studying the Word and having your spirit imparted with revelation knowledge will help you live the triumphant life in Christ. In studying the Bible, ask the Holy Sprit to grant you understanding and fill your spirit with the revelation of His Word. He’s the author of the scriptures and will unveil truths to you from the Word if you ask Him. As you give yourself to the Word, you’ll discover the beauty of God’s righteousness and glorious life He has given you. You’ll get to know His perfect will and walk in pre-ordained pathways, producing results to the glory of Christ. Confession My heart is open to the ministry of the Spirit and the Word today! I have the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Christ Jesus, my Lord, I am walking worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. Further Study Acts 20:32 And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified. Matthew 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. |

The Word In Your Mouth! – Thursday December 6, 2012 – Pastor Anita Death and life are in the power of the tongue; and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof (Proverbs 18:21). Your life today is the reflection of your words through the years. You set spiritual forces in motion by words. If you’re not satisfied with how your life has turned out, neither the devils nor your “enemies” are responsible; but you can change it. The power to have a fruitful, productive, vibrant, and exciting life rest on you. This is a fundamental principle in the Kingdom of God. Even our salvation is based on words: “But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation” (Romans 10:8-10). To experience salvation, you must declare the Lordship of Jesus, believing and acknowledging His resurrection and the new life He’s given you. Salvation is a word that completely expresses, in a singular term, all what the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ availed us. Salvation means you’ve been brought out of failure, debt, sickness, disease and infirmity into the liberty of the sons of God. Salvation means you’ve been delivered from sin into the life of righteousness. Your day-to-day confessions must align with these glorious realities, otherwise the blessings and benefits of salvation will not be evident in your life. We rule by words in the Kingdom of God. By your words you’re justified, and by your words you’re condemned (Matthew 12:37). The words you speak will build your children, improve your finances, affect your body, and transform your business. Your words will determine the quality of your life. Therefore, always speak in consonance with the Word. When you declared your salvation in Christ, enormous power was released to bring you out of the kingdom of darkness into the Kingdom of God. All you had to do was declare the Lordship of Jesus with your mouth. In the same vein, you don’t need any extra advantage to be a success in life because the Word of God already guarantees your success. The Word in your mouth is what you need. Confession The Word of God has taken centre-stage in my life; therefore no matter the circumstances, what I feel or what I see, I’m unperturbed, for my success is guaranteed in the Word in Jesus’ Name. Amen. Further Study 2 Corinthians 4:13 We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak; Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. |
