GVMC DAY 2013

The Glory and Power in Praise and Worship
It takes a believing heart and spirit full of faith by empowerment of the Holy Ghost to see the manifestation of God’s Glory and Power in Praise and Worship. But first we must believe in the Lord Jesus before we can gain access into the throne room like the Holies of Holies to worship God in spirit and in truth because the Bible says.

“By Him let us therefore offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is the fruit of our lips, giving thanks unto His name” Hebrew 13:15; which means without Him we can do nothing. But now that He is not present here with us, He prayed that the father send the Holy Ghost which we now have who would be that link to the father. We cannot separate the spirit and power, for it is by the spirit power comes on a mortal man. Acts 1:8.
In conclusion, if we do not have Jesus and filled with His spirit, there can be no manifestation of God’s Glory and Power in our praise and worship. As children of God and believers that we are, we have to show PROOF that indeed we serve a God who does powerful and Glorious things that man’s eyes can not even imagine.
Song Ministrations
Lord Holy- Israel Houghton
Magnificent and Holy
Lord Holy, Holy
You are Holy
Join the heavens
Let Heaven kiss the earth as we sing
Holy
Mighty
Worthy
Message
God is Holy, not because He does not commit sin, but because He is faithful to His word. The Lord is worthy to receive Glory and Honour and power because we are made for His pleasure, we were created to please Him, so we give Him the praise. He is so worthy of this healthy worship song.

When the Saints Go to Worship- Donald Lawrence
When the saints go to worship
That’s when  deliverance will take place
When the saints go up in praise
Oh Satan’s powers are erased
Every trap the enemy sets
Can’t work, won’t work
When the King, who is strong and mighty
Oh the King, who is mighty in battle
Hail the King of Glory shall come in

We welcome you in
You are the King and You are invited to come in
To this sanctuary
This tabernacle
You are the King and
You are invited to come in.

Oh Lord , Our God- Fred Hammond, John P.Kee
I shall forever bless they name
Oh Lord our God, you are worthy
I shall forever bless they name
Oh Lord of Lords my God
No other Lords like God
You are my Lord, you are my God
You are my peace,  my all in all, yeah
And I will bless you.

Powerful God
How did I make it out
Of all the things that I was in
Almost lost hope
I saw the way that I would win
Then you rescued me
I should have never doubted you
My saviour, you have always been able

Chorus
Now, I believe
I have seen your ability
Lord you have proven to me
That you are powerful
Powerful God


Bridge
Yes He can solve every test
There is nothing He won’t do for you
There is nothing that is too hard
Oh Oh a powerful, Power God
He is a powerful God, He is a Powerful God
Power! Yes!!




Girl on the Shelf
Continued from Last week...
That night the King could not sleep, so early the next morning, he ran to the den with an expectation that I would be dead but with a hope that I may still be alive. Then he called out; ‘Daniel servant of the living God ! Was your God whom you serve so faithfully able to rescue from the lions?’
And I answered: Long live the king! My God sent his angel to shut the lion’s mouth so that they would not hurt me, for I have been found innocent in His sight. And I have not wronged You Oh king!
On hearing my voice, the king rushed out and ordered that I be brought out from the den. I was brought out from the den. I was brought out by the help of a rope and immediately given the best treatment. To their dismay and surprise not even a scratch was found on me. To this, the King ordered that these ‘friends’ of mine, their wives and children be thrown into the den. Their whole families were arrested and then thrown into the den, the lions devoured them all. After this, the King sent this message through out the world to every people, race and nation;
Peace and prosperity to you. I decree that everyone throughout my Kingdom should tremble with fear before the God of Daniel- For He is the Living God and He will endure forever.
His kingdom will never be destroyed and His rule will never end. He rescues and saves His people. He performs miraculous signs and wonders in the heavens and on earth. He has rescued Daniel from the power of the lions.
At the end many years later I was shown the eternal mysteries of the kingdom and given interpretations. I was considered holy to be shown the visions of the end of the rule of the princes of this world. I was shown the great battle between the forces of darkness and of course the LORD OF HEAVEN’S ARMIES triumphed. These vision scared me because I sae in one of my visions the ugly beast called the anti-christ who will rule after the rapture of the saints and this prince’s ugly and despicable acts...
At last I had a confirmation for my own crown of life, a crown of righteousness. For I was asked to rest at the end of the days, you will rise again to receive the inheritance set for me.
From the Organised Press Crew, we wish the Glory and Virtue Mass Choir  a glorious and virtuous day themed “GOD’S GLORY AND POWER IN PRAISE AND WORSHIP.” God bless you all.

Ushering and Drama Day 2013


LIVING A SANCTIFIED LIFE
Salvation is a process but it can be subdivided into these three steps. The first step, Justification, occurs when we repent of our sins and are baptized. For most of us, that’s in the past. We can consider that to be something that occurs in a moment at time. We have been forgiven of our past sins, and we can go on from there. The third step Glorification takes place on the day Messiah returns from heaven in power and glory and resurrects us from our graves. We can look on glorification as something that takes place in a moment in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet so there is point A in the past for most of us , and point C off in the future, when Christ comes.
The second of these three things SANCTIFICATION, is the period of time between point A and point C. We could call it point B or the WAY of living the sanctified life Matthew 7:13-14.
God has given us a road to walk. It will take us from point A to point C. All we need to do is to stay on that road, and keep moving forward. If we start at justification, and go down the road sanctification, we have every expectation of reaching glorification at the resurrection if we stay off the road of righteousness, if we fall off the path, if we fall into one ditch or the other, if we grind to halt why should we expect to be glorified when Christ comes. We have lost out on our salvation. Salvation is a process, God starts the process by watching us, getting to know what kind of people we are, what kind of potential we have, seeing it we might actually respond to the call if He calls us.     
Before He ever calls, He looks us over, to see what we will do. Then He calls us to an understanding of His plan and purpose. Then it is our turn. We can respond to our calling by coming to repentance by being baptized.
We can then continue to respond to our calling by living the sanctified life and trying to live up to live up to the awesome future God has invited us to have, until the day we die.
                  


GIRL ON SHELF
Now we are back to the chronicles of Daniels and the effect it has on we the modern Christians of this time...
It pleased my master Daniels to set the kingdom into an hundred and twenty princes and I was the first president (for we were three presidents at that time, for I had an excellent spirit) to the envy of my colleagues. So they sort to discredit me and tarnish my image but they saw how faithful I was to the service of my God and set about to use this against me.
Then my ‘friends’ went in the king and together they set up a plan. This plan was as to the worship of their gods. This was a royal statute that all persons were to worship the king and only the king for thirty days of which failing that, he would be cast into the lion’s den.
Then the king signed this into law. To be frank I was truly troubled about this and when I spoke to God about this and when I was through with Him I being in His presence I had peace. After this meeting, I finally resolved within me that no matter what may befall me or my fate.
What did I do? I went home, opened the windows facing the east, there I knelt before the windows and prayed before my God. I did this for some days i.e three times in the day.
These ‘friends’ then assembled, saw me and went into the king, reported and requested that due process be followed ie I be thrown into the lion’s den.
The king tried so much to avert the law but he couldn’t.

Roll the Stone Away



Songs of Greatness

By Joshua and Parlfix

You know him. The stellar nightingale who,  in 2010,  swept through the Pentecostal Fellowship of Madonna with the “Roll the Stone Away” ministration alongside Papa Caleb(the Choir Director as at then) and Papa Tari(the Welfare Leader as at then). Since then he has simply blown the mind and spirits of the congregation so much that whenever he is involved it just had to be more than just another ministration. It would be a remarkable encounter with the presence of God. Who is He? Kase Greatness. Elder Kase.  The philosopher. E. Kay like he is popularly known today.
The Delta State born minister is presently in his third year studying Philosophy at Madonna University Okija. Until he was called to leadership on 20th May, 2012, he was Kase of the Glory and Virtue Mass Choir-the Guitar boy. However, in the words of Bishop Kelechi Kanu, “Whenever E. Kay goes up there to minister you can that that is not just another boy with a great voice and strings-“. E. Kay’s life as a music minister is one that would beam to lead the rest of us into the new age of fearless artistes who are stubborn about who they are and what they believe in. His songs are studded with messages of peace, love and the path to a fresh intimacy with God. One that each man has to discover for himself through the scripture, one on one encounter with God and an undying faith and love in one’s creator.
E. Kay would forever be on the PFM’s nightingale wall of fame with the likes of Papa Tari, Passport, Mama Nneka, Nike, Teddy...the list is endless. Then again, our eyes are still watching to follow in his lead as regards the next big step. The Organised Press Crew went up. Close and personal with him

OPC: What inspired you to do music?
E. KAY:I was inspired by the word of God and had the burden to put it into music.

OPC: What is your preferred Genre of Music?
E.Kay:Gospel Rock

OPC: Are you in a relationship?
E.Kay: I need to get balanced first before making an approach towards relationship. It is not that I do not have anyone in mind now. It is just that I have to get balanced first because any approach to relationship will lead to marriage.
OPC: What is your take on today’s Christianity:
E.Kay: I see it as getting more practical today than just on the word alone. People tend to be more real on how they take the things of God.

OPC: Where do you see yourself in five years from now?
E.Kay: I see myself being very great in five years time in the ministry, the world of music and in the philosophical field.

OPC: Which was the worst day of your life?
E.Kay: My worst day was when I lost a very dear friend. I did not cry, but I felt so bad. But I know that she is resting in the bosom of the Lord.

OPC: Which was the best day of your life?
E.Kay: That is the day I can never forget. That day I felt I what it was like to be filled with the Holy Spirit, that was December 2008.

OPC: What is your advice to the youths? E.Kay: They should take whatever they do very seriously, and they should take their future very serious because whatever seed they sow now, that is what they will reap in the future.

OPC: Is there anyone you want to shout out to?
I want to say a big shout out to all those who have supported me in making this album a success.


The album came out in 5th of May, 2013, and the album launch may be some time in August, if they will be any, due to my academic pursuit right now.
