Announcing The New Prophetic Season: ‘ENLARGE YOUR TENT’.
Glory to God! Glory to God!! Glory to God!!!
- Its a new prophetic season and God says: ‘ENLARGE YOUR TENT’! (Isaiah 54:2-10).
- In the last prophetic season, God told us in Isaiah 49:6 (MSG)
“But that’s not a big enough job for my servant-just to recover the tribes of Jacob, merely to round up the strays of Israel (CMDA). I’m setting you up as a light for the nations so that my salvation becomes global!” Here there are two parts to God’s plan. First is to round up the strays of Israel (CMDA) which God says is not big enough to occupy us; and the second: setting us up as a light for the nations so that His salvation becomes global!” Glory!
👉🏿 We are set up as a light for the nations so that His salvation becomes global! Hallelujah!
👉🏿 We are set up, there is no escaping it. God’s salvation must be global- that’s the plan!
👉🏿 You see the reason for CMDA Nigeria Global Arm right there!
👉🏿 You see the reason the work on the Constitution, By laws, Governing Board operations manual etc was concluded in record time.
👉🏿 You see the reason for the Wholeness House phase 2 and the One billion naira Global Impact Fund there!
👉🏿 You see the reason all of us had to play our part to come this far!
👉🏿 Those who have been a part of this house either as students or doctors are coming back in this move of God! Some of them may be in a mess right now but God will give them a message for their generation, some may be battered and scattered but God will gather them! Many new members will also join.
👉🏿 At the close of last year during the Thanksgiving virtual meeting, the Lord told us in Jer. 30:19
“And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving, and the voice of them that make merry; and I will multiply them and they shall not be few, I will also glorify them and they shall not be small.”
👉🏿 Praise God we are no longer few for God has multiplied us, neither are we small for God has glorified us in the nations in Jesus name! This revival will bring forth good things – old and new!
👉🏿 However, we must be prepared to accommodate this move, we must enlarge our tents to accommodate all that God has planned for us.
👉🏿 As INDIVIDUALS, we must enlarge our hearts to receive and love our brethren – old and new!
👉🏿 As AN ASSOCIATION, we must enlarge our tents to accommodate all that God sends to us! New ministry platforms: the ministry to students getting stronger every day, ministry to lady doctors mounting up with wings, ministry to elders gathering momentum among other already established ministries like Missions, IMM, CME, IfEHL and others.
- We have God to thank for His mercies upon the house of CMDA Nigeria.
- This Word from God is as broad and as specific as it can get.
- You and I have a collective role to play and we also have a individual responsibilities to enlarge our hearts and our tents.
- This will determine our capacity to receive what God is giving us! Glory be to God!
