Morning service. The beginning of this service turned into tremendous worship to God. Auditorium chanted: «You are always walking before me, You are always keep me on Your way, You provide me a comfort by your Word, You give me power to overcome!». Believers sang along with Elena Korneichenko: «There is way out in God, the way out of any problems, difficulties and evil. Just know: God hears your cry, come to Him, He will forgive you» and they danced along with Narnia show ballet: «I have wonderful live with God, I have a victory in Him, Nothing is impossible!». «God has blessed Ukraine with talents, it is important to let them to be expressed», – said pastor Henry Madava.
Then Dr. Richard Roberts preached. He presented to the body of Christ very important revelations, which God had been giving him and his father Oral at different times. Here some of those precious truths:
- Believe in miracle and expect it everyday.
- when you see a miracle it changes people’s lives, touches their consciousness and they will never be the same again. (the story about Peter and nets full of fish).
- God is good and kind, he loves to heal
- There is nothing more important than a seed. But it can not grow in the storehouse, it must be sown into the proper ground.
- The same way as it is natural to throw a coin into the automatic machine and expect a drink so it is natural to sow and expect from God solution in your need.
- Do you think it is too late to sow? Do you think your harvest has been destroyed? Sow anyway! No matter how heavy the ground which cover the seed is, the seed will still sprout and will deliver an abundant harvest.
- The faith should be "attached” to the seed and only in this case the windows of heaven shall be opened and God will pour out on you His blessings in abundance just like the rain during the Noah flood.
Brother Richard concluded: «I’m dangerous for the devil, because I will never cease serving God!» Then he prayed for those willing to sow their seed into Vorkuta crusade organized by pastor Henry Madava and scheduled for February 2012.
The service was concluded with the prayer for the sick.
Closing service. At the afternoon the closing service of the conference began. Youth praise and worship team recharged those present at the service with cheerful praise and worship. Actors from Impulse theatre studio reminded to all of us by their performance that we are the children of God and everyone of us is very unique. Those willing to testify about the glory of God said about the importance of sowing and that it is very important to know that finances we have in our hands very often are seeds we ought to sow.
Pastor Henry Madava`s sermon was consonant to the words of the song of worship – «Reveal Your glory!» It was based on the Scripture «The horse is prepared for the day of battle, but the victory belongs to the Lord» (Proverbs 21:31). So we should perform our part and when appointed time comes we are ready to act and God will provide a victory for us. If you properly prepared your horse-heart, you can move a long way forward and to fulfill the calling from the Lord. God looks at your heart. Deep in our heart changes of our life begins. Heart is a principal ground where everything in our life is sprout out («Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.» Proverbs 4:23).
Speaker appealed to the church: «Don’t allow into your heart everyone and his dog! Consciously select information, so that your heart was not overloaded. Don’t worry about the things you can not change. If you’ve got something wrong in your heart – just let it go, deliver it from offences and worries, set it free and live a happy life!»
Sometimes heart is more ready than ourselves: we have no knowledge or experience, but God can entrust to the person an important issue, if he has a pure heart (striking example – Mary, mother of Jesus). There is no such person whom God can not entrust something substantial and his trust is more precious than all creature comforts. So it is important also to believe in yourself!
Then pastor examined the story of Anna (1 Samuel, chapters 1 and 2). This lady had to endure several stages of «maturing», before she received from God what she desired. Here some conclusions we can make out of her experience.
1. Murmur and unhealthy competition prevent the power imparted in us by God to be expressed. Everyone of us has own walk of life; There is no sense to envy a success of another person – better rejoice with him, support him and move toward your own top.
2. If we have no inner strength, it is much easier for the devil to destroy us. Don`t worry of what people think about you. Learn to smile when you want to cry. God leads us through difficulties to make us stronger.
3. Self-pity steals our ability to take responsibility and makes us weaker than we really are: you begin to accuse other people or circumstances in your problems and expect somebody to inspire you. Learn to be responsible for everything what happens in your life and find in YOURSELF power to live and to act, no matter if you’ve got inspiration or even if you’ve not got it yet.
Prayer prepares everything for solution of our problems. So the person who spends enough time in prayer, becomes stronger inside, he can endure difficulties on his way and live to see his miracle.
The service was concluded by the prayer of pastor Henry for the touch of the Holy Spirit to each person and about real expression of his power and glory!
