STARTING STRONG 2 – MARCH EDITION

Unable to attend our March webinar? We’ve got you covered.

The March edition of the Starting Strong 2 series featured our CEO, Prof. Chima Onoka, who delivered a deeply insightful session on “Starting Strong and Staying Strong.” It was a time of reflection, realignment, and practical wisdom for sustaining both spiritual and professional growth.

Key Excerpts from the Session:

  • When it comes to lasting, the formation of the heart is more important than the pursuit of outward appearance.
  • It is in the place of obscurity that your source is truly tested.
  • Staying strong requires alignment with God’s timing, even when shortcuts are available. The critical question remains: what decisions do we make in such moments?
  • Staying strong also means remaining teachable—being unoffendable when corrected and quick to repent.

The session emphasized the importance of depth, discipline, and spiritual alignment in building a life and practice that endures.

CMDA NIGERIA NATIONAL PRAYER DEPARTMENT

PRAYER BULLETIN

THEME: ENLARGE YOUR TENT

Text: Ezek. 22:29 – _The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery, and have vexed the poor and needy: yea, they have oppressed the stranger wrongfully._

Ezek. 22:30 – _And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none._

👉🏽 God has an answer to the oppression, robbery, vexation of the poor and needy and wrongful oppression of the stranger.

👉🏽 That answer is a man. God is looking for a man!

👉🏿 The answer is not God, it’s not the devil, it’s not angels or demons. The answer is a man.

👉🏿 _”A man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it”_

👉🏽 Where oppression continues, it’s because God is yet to find a man!

👉🏿 Where robbery continues, it’s because God is yet to find a man. Where the vexation of the poor and needy continues, it’s because God is yet to find a man!

Luke. 2:25 – _And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him._

👉🏽 _And behold there was a man in Jerusalem…. !_

How I pray that when heaven looks at Nigeria, they will locate a man in you! How I desire that when God looks at my location, He will find a man in me!

👉🏽 God looked at Jerusalem and there was a man in Jerusalem!

👉🏿 When God looks at your location, will He find a man? A man qualified to make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before God for the land?

👉🏽 Simeon was such a man in Jerusalem! He was among the intercessors that made up the hedge and stood in the gap until Jesus was brought forth! What a man!

John.1:6 – _“There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.”_

👉🏽 John was another MAN! May God find MEN amongst us in Jesus name!
